Thank you! Happy New Year!

[@shirleysuchdolski6042]

My fav time...cup of coffee in the morning with my Millennial Gardener videos and notebook and pen. I can't tell you how much I LOVE your videos. I learn so much from them. Thank you!

[@jennyanimal9046]

Try planting chia seeds and mustard seeds and fennel seeds along a fence line. You'll be amazed!. I had some cutting ends from a cauliflower that I showed the back in the ground from the grocery store and it grew into a little tiny bush and grew flowers and then receded itself and now all the sudden. I have a bunch of cauliflower plants coming up. I'm so excited!

[@baneverything5580]

I`ve transplanted green onions from the store and they made tons of seeds the next year. It has been so cold the past two winters in Louisiana though that my frost tolerant gardens were killed. Spring has been too cold to grow our normal crops too.

[@chasenduke4669]

Calabash local here! Love your channel

[@diannasills217]

I followed your advice on sewing carrot seeds and it worked. I’ve never been able to grow carrots but now I have beautiful plants growing. Thank you

[@yanirisencarnacion04]

I haven’t been able to grow carrots either. I’m new in his channel and I would like to see that video about carrots.

[@alyceharden2379]

Has given me inspiration to grow again.

[@barbarac.5736]

I plant carrots in grow bags. In order to get them to germinate, I use several layers of newspaper over the carrot seeds, making sure to keep the newspaper damp until germination.

[@caracoates4834]

I live in 8b in PNW. I planted my garlic in October for the first time. I planted both hard and soft neck so far so good.

[@sergeantklein6026]

I just planted lettuce, spinach, SS peas, cabbage, broccoli and kale seedlings out in the low tunnels/hoop house

[@guysevedz3581]

My dog likes carrots, so I grow the finger carrots in containers for him. I'm sowing a 7 gallon container on the first weekend from October to May for him this year. October's and November's plantings are doing good.

[@penelopegrier5073]

I’ve been waiting for this one. Wasn’t gonna miss it for anything.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I hope it was helpful!

[@jaytoney3007]

The last two years in a row, we had multi-day freezes here in central Alabama. I don't have plans on planting anything, excluding seed starts for transplanting, until February. However, I have Elephant Garlic, mystery garlic, turnips, rutabagas, Danver Carrots, Nagasaki Cabbage, kohlrabi, assorted lettuces, Pak Choi, Komatsuna, and Yellow Heart Winter Choy Growing. Two plum trees, an AU Rosa, and Yellow Gold Plum were delivered today. They will be going in the ground in the next day or two, after the rain passes. The cherry trees I ordered won't be delivered until mid January.

[@TexasNana2]

Dale and friends will enjoy a little pumpkin pie. You're a good dad to Dale ❤😊

[@TheMillennialGardener]

They got one fork full. We're not taking any risks 😂

[@yanirisencarnacion04]

First time on your channel and I really liked how you explained everything. My kids and I just moved to Connecticut from Massachusetts . I bought a house with a nice yard and can’t wait to start my garden in the spring. I wish I can start now but I’m still in the middle of unpacking everything and getting adjusted to our new home. I’ll definitely watch you videos so I can learn more as I love growing my own food but definitely not an expert. Thank you for this video.

[@Junzar56]

Great! Thanks for giving varieties that do well in zone 7-8. It is so helpful!

[@christopherrenn8137]

In the spring/summer for spinach sub, use amaranth. Baby leaves taste and function similar with the end seed crop being tasty rice/quinoa sub.

[@haroldblake1196]

Very nice job.my yellow squash is at its end, my 36 broccoli and coliflower plants are just starting to put on heads and my Brussel sprouts are just starting to do there thing (FIRST TIME TRYING) ?? AND IM ONE OF THOSE TEXAS BOYS, glad you throw in stuff for us. I thought I was done for the year,guess not ,I'll be planting 7 of those in the next week or so thank you for explaining so that all levels of gardeners can understand , GROW ON

[@zulficg2]

I have a spinach that want grow unless is very humid at least 90 degrees. Excellent taste

[@emilypona47]

I'm definitely going to try this hoop structure of yours and I only made it to the end of the his video because I was blown away from the first topic that forced me to rage watch until the end. Carrots seeds do not " basically get washed away" when it rains" they can be sown indoors infact they can grown in a sunny window over the winter. Also they are tiny seeds but you can plant them deeper than say a basil seed because the germanation process of a root vegetable is one that holds it's place in the soil firmly. Your problem is (I think) that your growing in a mulchy chunky soil and carrot seedlings need a finer soil to latch on to. I want to tell you that your info about the carrots is stated with confidence and no basis in truth what so ever. If we want the KZbin garden community to be respected for factual information then it's got to be factual. I promise I can tell you exactly how to grow them carrots if you get rid of the stupid pice of wood lol thank you for reading. Now I am going to make a hoop structure

[@TheRealHonestInquiry]

Really useful info especially with the specific temperatures and varieties.

[@cynthiacollins2668]

Great videos. I've been gardening nearly 50 years. Your videos are the only ones that I find the need to take notes on! Keep up the good/informative work.

[@snowymtshali2968]

I heard loud and clear thanks

[@karenrivers3123]

I live in zone 6 to 5b and I am growing garlic and onions. My research shows that growing these vegetables in cold weather makes them bulb better because they will put on more layers.

[@rbrack54]

I always had problems growing spinach. Then I heard about "Perpetual Spinach" it is a Chard that taste just like spinach. I am in zone 9 and I can grow it year round.

[@jesswelsh9838]

Im in zone 6a, and I built the hoop house like you've said. It recently got down to 19 degrees at night & my veggies were fine! I harvested radishes and bok choi 2 days ago. Thanks for all the information, you're wonderful at explaining these thing!! Happy growing❤

I put my garlic in the fridge for a couple of weeks before planting

[@user-mr8ks4ih6m]

I am curious about your winter garden watering habits. I am also in zone 8B, but moved here from Northern Indiana 2 years ago. Winter gardening is new to me. Thanks

[@veggiepatchideas]

Really great to see gardening in the US Im in zone 8ish UK

[@PackRatManiac]

I live in Texas in zone 9b and marvel of four seasons lettuce is one of my favorites. It grows well in both fall and spring and doesn't go to seed as quickly as some of the other varieties. I also like tango leaf lettuce and lolla rossa leaf lettuce too. I struggle growing spinach so I've tried finding other things that taste like spinach but don't bolt as quickly. I've found the lucullus swiss chard doesn't taste as earthy as the other varieties and is pretty good substitute. Komatsuna (spinach mustard) and tatsoi are also decent spinach substitutes that don't bolt so quickly.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Spinach has been hard for me as well. Lettuce is comparatively a breeze. The problem growers run into with lettuce is assuming they’re all the same. There is so much variance in heat and cold tolerance. I love growing it.

[@JustMe-nv5xy]

I also live in Texas (Central). Komatsuna is wonderful; you should try Chijimisai too. This green is tender and delicious, and grows so easily. I grow both. ❤🌱

[@baneverything5580]

Lettuce is easy to grow indoors in the little all-in-one tabletop hydro gardens whenever temperatures & weather conditions are too extreme.

[@eliseville]

@TheMillennialGardener, Our smallish but highly productive Market Garden in 9b NorCal had no problem with even high summer arugula! But we were harvesting it heavily every week and completely replanting cuz so fast-growing. It was a huge customer fave. Try 3+-times-a-day wetted burlap covers till it comes up a bit, then very regular drip water... And a light bug cover, too. Arugula is just too good to only grow in summer!

[@RosePainter]

Love this!

[@mekamoo1719]

Thank you for breaking it down really help me. I'm a beginner gardener and we need baby steps LOL.... Happy gardening 😃

You’re welcome!

[@shk2564]

Your channel is great but I think the one thing that would make it better and something that I don’t see on any other channels is to give some ideas what types of things you can use the things for. I see a lot of things that you grow and I don’t know what I would use them for. I’m a single man and my cooking is really basic but if I knew what I could use green onions or leaks for as an example I might try them. Omelettes or tacos or…? 🤔 ❤

You are so knowledgeable!! Thank you, I so excited!! I Think that I may have a more variety winter garden now. I haven't been able to plant my garlic and I did put them in the fridge. I hope that I will be able to get out this weekend and put them in the bed. Take care!!

[@ewelina3803]

I've watched your video several times! Thank you for lots of information. This is very helpful. It gives me a chance to actually start growing things I like to eat, and not be sorry that I missed the right time to plant. Thank you!

[@Happy2Run4Me]

Yep. Dec 1st is when I plant my garlic! I also transplant my onion plants I grew from seed out into the garden.

[@1Lightdancer]

Zone 8b here too - Western Oregon and I'm planting these plus 'cover crop' broad beans and Austrian field peas for both fixing nitrogen AND winter greens! They are sprouting in seed trays and will go out soon ... do have some slugs, so it will be good to plant a bit larger. I've also for ramps in a seed tray - been in the fridge for a week, then ruin temp for a couple, and I'll put it back in the fridge for a few more, hoping to rich then into sprouting!

[@tomyanno972]

Great info…thank you…I always learn from your videos. You convinced me, arugula, cilantro and radishes going in tomorrow…garlic went in yesterday. I’m about 50 miles south of you.

[@susanbritton-giza5054]

Thx love your videos ! I live in Cleveland and I am ready for Spring 🤣! I do winter sowing and I am so excited to get things all ready ! Made my own seed strips with 1 tsp flour and 1 tsp water and make a paste Then on strips of paper towel , I put a tiny drop flour glue and spaced 2 inches apart and then place 2 seeds per drop of glue ! Fold over paper towel and save for planting time ! After they have dried, i store them over plastic hangers until ready to use ! Make sure you label your strips ! Make sure when you plant, you make sure you make sure your soil is wet, to enable the seeds to germinate! Good luck ! Thx for you video !

[@courtneycullen6289]

I am having a lovely greens and brassica season and am planting out more lettuce, kale, collards, and chard. I love these tips! Ooh, what garlic variety? I think I planted about 100 cloves, because I had a good, small harvest this year and LOVE growing it (I also love dehydrating some for spices). But I'm thinking of planting a bit in a few pots for green garlic. Thank you for this! I had just started my 2024 gardening calendar and these give me a heads up.

[@definitelyp8652]

Question about carrots-They like to stay wet, what do you think of covering them with plastic for condensation?

[@rvbliss]

[@FosterFarmsOk]

Another great video my friend. ive been enjoy salad greens ive been growing under lights in the house. My broccoli and cauliflower outside should hopefully start producing soon. probably going to start some herbs this weekend.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Thank you! Remember to cover the broccoli and cabbage in a hard frost. We just had 2 nights at 27° and 28° and they’re beautiful thanks to the fabric cover. Broccoli is nearly ready!

Your videos are just great. You do a very good job of explaining exactly what's what. 1 question: How do you keep your houses from freezing in those grow needs? I'm in SC midlands and my water house freezes almost every year. Thank you for your very informative videos😊

[@glow1815]

My carrots germinated in 5 days waiting to harvest....I haven't bought greens onions in 2 years I have it all year around. Yes it doesn't do too well in Phx heat but still can use( soft). I have all the herbs and 🌶🌶 chiled I use daily in my baby garden. As always thank you!

[@LisaMagoulas]

Awesome video as always. I am in zone 6b. I put a thick layer of mulched leaves to cover my beds for winter. If I want to grow some of these, especially the root crops, do I need to remove the mulch?

[@inkybeans]

Thanks for the thorough tips! I'm in MD 7b (coastal) and have had probs growing onions. Now I know I need to grow mainly intermediate 👍🏼

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Thank you so much for your support and generosity! I really appreciate it ❤ Give the red onion Red Amposta a try if you like red onions. they grow well here in NC despite being an intermediate day onion. I imagine they'll do as well if not better for you.

[@inkybeans]

@TheMillennialGardener I definitely will, thanks!

[@hillbillyhomestead1966]

Thanks for the garlic tip putting the in the fridge before planting hence I live in Florida I'm gonna try it

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Definitely give it a shot! 6-8 weeks is the target. My bulbs got 5 weeks, but it looks to be a cold winter coming!

[@hillbillyhomestead1966]

@TheMillennialGardener I already planted my garlic but I bought so much I just put a few cloves in the fridge 👍👍 now

[@hillbillyhomestead1966]

We just bought this house so I'm starting my raised beds from scratch again. But we did plant a avacado tree peach tree lime & lemon tress and of course a tangerine tree. I'm looking into getting a alomand tree. Food sustainability is our goal

[@seanrich1367]

Great information. Great channel. I will only say Sunshine has a lot to do with growing. Here, it is not only way too cold to grow this time of year, (Nov.) but we get very few sunshine days. (Lake Erie). Good on you, if you can still grow. Even heating my greenhouse now requires grow lights. I will wait 6 months and start over. (Beats/Parsley are still alive in g-hse). Thanks, 12 deg. F. w/t neg windchill = Hello grocery store.

[@daltonbey102]

Hey I live in rocky point and the way i do carrots is by soaking the bed, putting out the seed, then covering with a tarp. I check on them every day after day 3 and as soon as i see the first plant germinate i take off the tarp, water again and thats it.

[@susanchristensen1500]

I like that you use same seeds I can get just at local stores.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

It depends what I’m growing. I order seeds from all over. My summer vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, squash, cukes, etc. I buy exclusively online, because I want very special varieties stores rarely carry. For winter crops like cabbage, broccoli, carrots, etc., the generic stuff at the stores do fine.

[@jennifersmith2567]

Have you ever tried malabar spinach? Its a perennial here in 9b. I think it is native to tropical countries. Ive had mine for several years and the little berries that drop are seeds ive mutiplied my plant. It draws moisture from the air so if i get lazy with watering its fine. The only thing is its doesnt taste well if you cook it so i use it for salads only.

[@Lisa-wj5fp]

Thanks so much for your tips. I have trouble with my raised beds - can’t figure out soil, how much to water, fertilizer

[@Supasmartguy]

I have a question for you: this spring and summer, I'm going to be growing some tiger melons and kajari melons. There's room in my greenhouse for one of them, but the other will have to go in my regular garden. I live in Southeastern michigan. Which one should go in the greenhouse and which one in the garden? The one in the greenhouse will also grow on a trellis while the one in the garden won't.
