Growing Food All Winter in Maine | Four Season Farm

[@bambigrage8464]

Love her podcast. Started gardening almost 30 years ago after watching her dad on PBS ❤️

[@1notoriousnomad]

Very inspiring farm and work Clara! ❤

[@janking2762]

Glad to see that this farm is continuing. We have been there and have been fellow MOFGA members for many years and enjoy seeing and hearing Eliot and Barbara at the Common Ground Fair.

Just found the channel! I'm in Maine as well and am totally excited for the podcast. Not on the scale as some of ya'll but have been looking into growing food all year. Thank you for the information you shared just in this video specifically. 😊😊

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

the famous "candy carrots" of Four Season Farm! I have all of Eliot Coleman's books, I've learned a great deal and have been inspired by his work and vision. Very glad the "next generation" is there to carry on. Winter gardening is something I have wanted to do, because in OUR area, growing season has gotten a month shorter. (Not warming at all, on fact this year we got our earliest first frost ever a few days ago.) The older I get, the more I am glad for the two months of rest during December and January!

If that was intended to be a subtle dig about climate change, please realize that your local area does not represent the climate of the entire planet and that there is still going to be variations in the seasons.

Lovely to put a face to a voice. I listen to Clara in the field. Love her podcast.

So glad to see you growing food on your land. We have a local 'biggish' farmer in Warren, Beth's, who is converting all her land to solar farms. It's such a disgrace and an insult to the people here who want fresh affordable vegetables and a farming community. I used to get fresh corn there but will never darken her door.

Clara was very articulate, great stuff. Enjoyable to watch , as a gardening enthusiast.

[@sheryl3268]

I always love your content! Looking forward to next week too. Thanks!

[@Golden_SnowFlake]

Your channel is always an inspiration! thank you.

[@aileensmith3062]

As expected another outstanding video in this series. Learning so much and loving the dedication these people have into what life is about as well as dedication to Mother Earth. Interesting and the mobile greenhouses. A concept we would have never thought about. Now we are seriously considering purchasing a small greenhouse to start our seedling and such. Now to justify the cost!

I used to buy their delicious collards at the Blue Hill winter market, but that shut down during the pandemic and never reopened, sadly.

[@lynnerobinson6425]

Really appreciate all the information you provide.

[@notillgrowers]

Amazing, thank you! 🙌

[@jeshurunfarm]

Thanks Jesse. Respect from the southern hemisphere.

[@rickthelian2215]

Jessie, thank you for today’s video, and kitty Cat is being adventurous again😊

[@pammcnary2770]

Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge on winter growing. I’d love to see an interview with Morey Hill Farm in VT to understand what cut flowers they are successful in overwintering in the north country and their techniques to do so.

[@noneyabeeswax3200]

Wonderful interview thanks so much,greetings from Lincoln birthplace.

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Glad to hear you'll be sharing the word at those conferences. Farmers need more encouragement these days. I've enjoyed interviews of these farmers too.

[@AlecMuller]

It would be great to hear how she manages irrigating their mobile high tunnels. Do they tear-down and rebuild drip irrigation every time they move it? Is it built into the tunnel so it automatically moves? How many person-hours does it take to move a high tunnel and all the infrastructure tied to it?

[@ThinkLittleFarm]

oh hell yeah, Jesse Frost is coming to Utah! See you there!

[@FourSeasonFarming]

Good information

[@alexkunnen]

Do you get weeds in the greenhouse 🤔 I was thinking about a leafy green garden next year and I'm going to try chicken wire for walls, and a metal screen that is used for windows as the roof to keep birds from planting weed seeds. I may plant a beneficial pollinators weed plant dedicated area too.

[@ThexSinGaming]

Unless you're using a deep mulch, there will be weed seeds in the seed bank. If you're not going to be moving the greenhouse, you can avoid most of them by tarping the area for a few months before hand, then using at least 6-8inches of a good compost for your beds and woodchips for your walkways. This kills all the plant matter under the tarp, and then you're stopping the seed bank from getting light. You'll always have seed blow in, but it will be drastically different. Hope this helps 😅 Good luck with your set-up.

❤❤❤

[@vientoai3785]

Excusme! Where is your farm? It had snow at winter?

[@rickthelian2215]

Clara I’m assuming that you where trying to articulate that the cold weather increases sugars giving the vegetables a sweet flavor that cold weather usually bring.😊 I see you grow onions according to your sign but do you grow garlic? On Four Season Farms do you have a Composting System on Farm or have ant animals on farm chickens etc?😊 Real Farmer Car , is a wonderful idea and allow a network between farmers to share and perhaps learn what other’s may be experiencing in being a farmer regardless of your farming backgrounds😊🇦🇺

[@janking2762]

Probably, as garlic grows well in Maine. The Four Season Handbook by Eliot talks about growing garlic.

[@charlesvickers4804]

Great information beautiful lady

[@beerwrench33]

I tried looking up “greenhouse solar wrap” and couldn’t find anything. Any chance I could get more info on that?

[@janniktraavikmennen7203]

Product is called PolyDress SolaWrap

[@Freedom2025-x2b]

😮

[@daveheller4488]

Why doesn’t she use climate batteries?

[@serenityplantation7638]

Just found your page, nice vids. Adderall might be something to look into tho lol
