HOW TO USE CLYDE'S GARDEN PLANNER - PANTRY CHAT EPISODE #40

[@calliefournier4545]

I wanted to add a comment about the carrots. My dad and I the past couple years have been adding a strip of heavier landscape cloth over the carrots after planting them. Easier to keep them wet and keeps them warmer too. We are in zone 4 and usually have very windy springs so trying to keep that dusting of soil wet is nearly impossible here. You just have to watch very carefully and take it off as soon as they are sprouting when they need the sunshine. We’ve had super good luck with carrots the past few years doing this.

[@IHealLiving]

Have you tried a mulch? Have you seen the Back to Eden documentary? It’s good info.

[@IHealLiving]

We are zone 3

[@bearriverwillow]

With planting carrot seeds, if you rinse them before planting with warm water it will remove the natural germination inhibitor and they will germinate quicker. Another trick with them is to lay damped burlap or a board that has been soaked in water (cardboard would probably work also) over the seeded area that will retain the moisture so the seeds do not dry out.

[@mariannereno8501]

Your planner is a wealth of information. This is a fantastic resource. Great 👍

[@babyroot3479]

This is the BEST video I've seen on how to read Clyde's Garden Planner. Thank you

[@Mindmaid1]

Thank you for all your work and awesome contribution to educating us in how to take control of our health by teaching us various methods and ways of how to homestead.

[@rachelc.7152]

Happy Birthday Josh! Have a wonderful ski date you two! I have had one of Clyde's planners for many years, love it and use it every year.

[@IHealLiving]

This works so well! I have an annual chart as I do natural stratification of seeds as well so I plant a bunch in the fall at certain times too.

[@PamelaClare]

I bought mine and am looking forward to using it. We live up against the Rockies in Colorado and have a bizarre back-and-forth climate with super-warm winter days and very cold spring days. Our last frost date is usually around May 18, but we've had winter storm warnings in early June. One never knows. I would love to hear the exact varieties of crops you plant. I'm always looking to find the best-tasting food to grow, as well as varieties that will yield usable seed. Seed-saving is the frontier of gardening for me at this point. Thanks for the chat!

[@Mrs.Patriot]

I have one, and love it. I have a greenhouse also. I drew red lines on the top area designating my first and last frost dates on both sides for ease in use. Generally inside a greenhouse (mine is double wall polycarbonate) is about 2 climate zones warmer, so I drew lines for both zones. This makes it easy to line up the slide. It's such a great tool!

[@stephaniejoyce6896]

Have my planner in hand! I have already started seeds that I know I can plant out in the cooler temps here in WA still, but the planner is already helping me with things I wasn't sure about. What a great resource.

[@sherryinsite5888]

Love my Clyde garden planner! I have most of my seeds and I'm just about ready to go! Hope you guys are too! Have a blessed gardening season.

[@ajkoochie]

Oooooooh dramatic new camera angles???? Very nice! 😁 thanks for the info as always.

[@FarmhouseTeas]

Paul helps teach the boys who are 15 and 16 too, excited to hear we aren't the only ones with dad helping out! Happy birthday Josh!!!

[@esthergraham1353]

I homeschooled through high school. My "children" are great adults. Our daughter is homeschooling her sons. She is a Pastor’s wife in Nome, Alaska. Our son is a soon to be married college librarian. They are incredible people. I always wondered if I was doing the right thing for them. Oh yes! What a great opportunity that your children get to grow up homesteading. God bless you all. It would be fun for us to see a glimpse of your homeschooling day.

[@marijovarney2592]

I ordered one yesterday! It will be here tomorrow! I am using a square foot method and am hoping this tool will be helpful

[@RoseFelton]

I am also doing the square foot method and Clyde's Garden Planner has helped me. It will work for any type garden a person wants to do.

[@margaretthompson6391]

Check out bubble beet. He starts some fine seeds between two damp sheets of paper towel kept moist in a ziplock bag. Once the seed germinates he plants them in seed trays.

[@heatherm4621]

Happy birthday! My birthday is tomorrow! We spent the last month enclosing our front porch into a four seasons room for plant starts.

[@mpedals]

happy birthday to you to

[@Givvemhell]

You kids have made me crazy! Signed up for Bonner County Gardner Assoc. Master Gardener Class which coordinates closely with the UI Extension Center course. Just can't get enough of this "dirt!" Please keep all this great stuff coming. We love what you and Melissa do for us. Bless all of you. Thank you.

[@eptunes3616]

I love the intro with the kids.😊. Happy Birthday Josh.🎉🎂

[@bighern1794]

Just placed my order for one of them. This is going to be my first real big garden this year. Usually I just do a few tomato plants and herbs. Thanks for the info. Thanks for all the videos. Love the way you two live your lives.

[@cynthiamullin661]

Just ordered my Clyde's planner. Thanks for sharing!

[@blacksheepacres-homestead3596]

Never used a garden planner before sounds very handy. You have a very informative Channel. Just watched your wood cook stove how to video. We're hoping to get one installed before fall. Can't wait To have wood heat in the house again.

[@sharon-905]

Hi Josh and Carolyn, I ordered my planner. Can't wait to get this year's garden going again. A question for you, what's the difference in your harvest kitchen, pantry and regular kitchen? Maybe you could give us a quick tour before one of your pantry chats. Thanks for all you do!

[@coleenburris6816]

I will plant my carrots a bit deeper this year. Thank you.

[@RoseFelton]

I got Clydes Garden Planner last year. Really useful tool. Loved watching the video even though I already knew how to use it.

[@karenmccleary7616]

Carolyn, love your gray poncho. Did you knit it? Would you mind sharing the pattern? Thanks

[@jenniferfischer7171]

Should the red line be lined up with the line that is before or after the the last frost date?

[@FarmhouseTeas]

One of my favorite chats! I'm grabbing one of those garden planners for sure!

[@jenniszafranski6360]

Just ordered mine! Thank you so much!! Love your channel and appreciate all the great info!!

[@mainstmo]

Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge. Your videos have been invaluable to me as I start my own journey of growing food to feed my family. It is a little late for me (48F) to be starting a food garden but, I hope to have a good harvest. I plan to use tips and tricks gleaned from your channel. Again thank you so much for sharing. You are much appreciated. Also thank you for the code.. Just got my planning guide ordered.

[@athenaayres5132]

We are coming to see a home in Spirit Lake, ID! 5.5 flat acres and it looks like it is zone 6a. We are excited about this venture!

[@DrEVeils]

Being introduced to homesteading. I love the shows approach to explain how and why. Wow, a lot of work planning from scratch. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Thank you for all you do.

[@brratso]

I’ve heard about that planner before, but thought oh I don’t need.it. Wrong I’m going over there right now and I’m buying it thank you

[@DougPowell01]

About planting depth guidelines, j recently learned in the Southwest, at one of the native American tribes plants their corn rather deep in their arid lands, to ensure more consistent availability of moisture. So it seems that rules are available, but there are times when the rules need to be broken

[@jonahbigfish1889]

Shalom, hello. Do you just use a regular thermometer to check the temperature of the soil? Also what do you think of the farmers almanac? thanks for sharing your knowledge, May our Father bless you all.

[@pinklemonade1300]

I already bought my planner from anither channel but I didn't really know, until now, just how valuable this thing is going to be .....thanks

[@FarmhouseTeas]

Your so funny Josh! That's what Paul says when I ask him about the flavor of a new tea LOL. I should send you some of his favorites. I'm with Carolyn though! I love the Not Coffee for it's herbal benefits

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

I love Clyde’s garden planner. I talked about it in my latest video too! It’s genius.

[@fireseedmusic]

Not really expecting an answer, but if I should be so lucky, my question is what is in the red crocks on your shelves? Figuring out how to organize things in a practical yet beautiful way with limited space & limited resources is constant challenge for me, especially while trying to keep more food on hand. Thank you!

[@Thisisit120]

Do you do crop rotation?

[@rachelglasier9677]

It is said round here that the best way to determine the right time to plant your seeds out is to go into the garden, drop your trousers and sit down in your beds. If it's too cold for your bare bottom, it's too cold for seeds to start.

[@noah786]

First video I’m seeing from you guys and like it so far. Where did you get your mugs?

[@hyrunnisa997]

How do you fund your homestead?

[@AmandaM204]

How's in Earth do you have time for it all??? How old are your kiddos? What kind of curriculum do you use online or books? Do you go year round with more free time?

[@karenthompson9350]

Happy Birthday!🎂🎂🍧

[@carolcurley7840]

As this works on your last frost date can you please confirm it would be able to be used for planting in England, UK. Great video as always. Thank you.

[@seroweassociatesllc]

Try a course of milk thistle for your liver

[@sarahpappas7581]

You mention that each of your children get their own garden plot. I would really appreciate some more info on gardening with kids and how your family approaches teaching kids about gardening/growing your own food. Giving my children garden plots has been on my to-do list for awhile but i havent yet because im just a little unsure how to approach it, do i let them learn from experience or treat it as more instructional? Id love some input!

[@millermeadows6359]

Hi from Miller Meodows Great! video guys, where did you get those cups from? I would love to know.

[@MonicaCradd1972]

Love your videos, I live in Florida but originally from NY. Your advice has given me for food prep and gardening. Love those cups, where can I get a set?

What a beautiful couple you are. I have been a farmer for 30 years and I tell you I still have not mastered sovereign supply of food and we have to deal with monkeys and bobbejaans in my country, then all the other normal pests. Also do organic and heirloom whereever possible.

Do you use the old fashioned wax on the top inside of the jars for preserves or jams?

[@valeriecompton5740]

I’m wondering if you know anything about clay soil? We went from nice soil in Pa. to clay soil in South Carolina.

[@sleeplessinthecarolinas8118]

You can amend it with free resources like leaves from your trees and wood chips from chipdrop or a local tree cutting services.

[@susancastagna4241]

Well... never mind I guess it was being shy!

[@audreyreil3777]

The code for Clyde's isn't working 🙁

[@kingspal99]

soil needs to revive after plants next plants are good for that .... wonder where the reference listed was from ...humm

[@identityrefused486]

Are the dates on that planner even accurate for very hot summer areas (ie our highs are around 115) to take into consideration the extreme heat that could kill plants that would normally be fine in other areas where the highest summer temps are day within 5 degrees of 100? I do have plenty of space indoors where i keep it around 62 degrees during the very end of winter and earliest spring. (I turn off my heater then to keep it cool as long as possible as temps start to warm up. (Example the high today in late March is 81 but my house is only 63 with no heating or cooling turned on)

[@bdub4597]

for the SI tab (indoor seeding dates) are these for if I was growing solely indoors? Or is it saying to start them indoors and then move them outdoors at the FP tab? Like starting lettuce in an indoor pot on 3/8 and then moving it outdoors on 3/29?

[@ellenschindler4764]

Hi C&J. Would this garden planner work for the Southern Hemisphere? Would I need to „translate“ it in any way, eg July=January etc? I am in AUCKLAND NZ, Probably zone 9 . something. Thx, Ellen

[@fionafiona1146]

It should, if you have frost you should be able to schedule around that.

[@fionafiona1146]

Or use Mountain climate to adjust

[@FredddH]

I had a problem, too. I was entering the code in section 5 and it did not work. Then I saw a place in section 3 and it did work.

[@Emc2Wa]

I'm in Montana. I'm not sure what to do when the spring planting date is past the fall planting date. For example, tomatoes should be planted June 21st assuming the last frost is May 30th. My fall frost date is September 20th. On that side of the chart, it notes the last planting date is May 24th. What then??

[@RHM_MusicMinistry]

I’ve never planted anything in my life before besides cat grass for my kitty. Any idea of where to start for a new beginner? My husband and I are considering purchasing a small amount of land and want to start on this journey. We are a young city couple with a baby on the way. Any advice would be so helpful. GOD bless!
