What Plants SURVIVED the ARTIC BLAST 2022?

[@TXTeacher1111]

Good morning Danny and Wanda! Before the freeze, I watched y’all cover all your plants, then covered my garden the same way. I picked as many greens as I could, and I pulled my green tomatoes (for salsa verde.) I’m proud and grateful to tell you that all of my cabbage, carrots, turnips, spinach, Brussels and kale made it through! My broccoli looks a little worse for wear, but I think we salvaged about 2/3 of it. Y’all are good teachers and a blessing to those of us who watch you. Thank you!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Good morning

[@joyce9523]

✝️❤️🥰

[@katiemoyer8679]

I’m always up early. While the household is asleep, Wanda &Danny drop me early vids to greet me. Thank You. 😘

[@Tokyo_Titus]

Me, along with thousands of others, watched you plant that bed of carrots. It's satisfying seeing them growing well with bushy tops.

[@opalezell2166]

Danny is it too late to try to replant my broccoli in Ms.I can't afford a high tunnel.

[@marleneppaul]

Good morning. The joy coming from both of you for what made it thru this evil cold snap actually brought me tears of joy. You never get upset you always come back with more positivity that always overrides any negativity in all situations. I love this channel.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Good morning thanks

[@hyanagiya]

I’m right there with this comment. I think that tomato plant that lived in the green house with the fern helped each other insulate compared to the ones that had nothing growing underneath. I live in Glynn county in Ga y’all have inspired me to keep my gardening journey going.

[@judygoodson5855]

North Idaho here... we bottomed at -20. The greenhouse held at 16 with no heat. Built plastic tent in over boxes and my greens held on well. This years experiment was boxes off the ground on stands with plastic all the way to floor ... I think it was successful. You are right on keeping the coverage close by... winter is just starting and more polar express will return. This is the year to test our endeavors to grow inside. I am waiting to hear how the big commercial grow houses farther north faired. Might be proof smaller is better. God helps those who help themselves. Merry Christmas Danny and Ms. Wanda.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Merry Christmas

[@farmsteadflowersandfoxhoun8302]

Water freezes and stays 32 degrees. So if roots are wet that’s as cold as they get. In dry ground or pots, if air temperature is below 32 the ground and roots will get colder like the air temperature. That’s why you water everything real good before a deep freeze.

[@died4us590]

Wanda girl, you had me laughing when you decided that second broccoli was on the menu. You and Danny are pretty funny sometimes, glad you have a genuine love for each other, it show's.

[@andreawimer4334]

Good morning. Old carpet has been my best friend. If you turn the backside up you can use it for ground cover. I will be using it in my second greenhouse.( #1 has concrete pad). You can use it around beds ( mulch on top). I made a sitting area under my shade trees. I used a colored mulch and it looks great. I bordrred it with rocks. You can use it in a gravel driveway under fresh gravel. I had a client toss a bunch of new remnants out and i grabbed them up.😀 Most went into my attic on the floor for insulation. I have used it under the sink on the back wall as insulation too. I dont know why I felt like sharing this. It is a free renewable resource. Thank you Danny. God bless.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Good morning

[@kathylane5934]

Glad to hear that. I put carpet over my figs and willow tree maybe they will make it. I will try like you are going to do. Thanks

[@sandraoconnor5700]

Thank God for His faithful Loving Kindness and Care.. So happy for your blessings Neighbor ❤❤❤❤

[@CraftEccentricity]

Your crops came through real good! I used 200 watt bulb on each of my raised beds, and stitched sheets and blankets from thrift. My plants survived, and so did my early cucumbers!

[@laurasmithira]

Cucumbers! Cool

[@auntdello5286]

Danny, I live in Northern Ohio. When I worked at a local garden center, we always fully watered all the plants before covering them when a frost was expected. It really helps the plants fight the cold, believe it or not. All your brassicas would have done fine with a good watering beforehand. You will find them to be sweeter after a frost, as well.

[@paularizzo5217]

It looks like all the work ya'll put in before the freezing weather has really paid off!! Congratulations! I am so happy for you. I know you are happy as well. You are so right about keeping your protection in place for further cold weather. I'm smiling for your great save!!

[@jo-annjewett198]

Wrap your tomatoes in Christmas lights. We did our avocado trees and frost covers. It went down to 22 here and no damage!!

[@catherinefrye7269]

All the hard work that You and Wanda did trying to protect your crops really paid off. The Lord still Blessed you all Bountifully. Here in Ft. Washington, MD, we got a deep freeze for only one day, Praise God! All of our crops still survive.

[@rainspringing]

That tomato is amazing! 11F was our bottom out excitement here. Everything I could cover, stayed covered for about a week, because it didn't get much above 40F the whole time. I also doubled the layers over some beds/plants, but heavy frost clothes mostly instead of all tarps. Have been trying to acquire a large collection of frost clothes because of the weather cycle we've been heading into last handful of years. Almost have enough now for everything to even get triple layers, next time if needed. Could be anytime now. lol Fuzzy kiwi's, young olives and non-adapted spinach got triple layers. Our lettuces, onions, all the assorted brassicas, out of season growing confused herbs & bulbs, heavy budding blueberries, etc, all got one to two layer, and sailed through. In amongst the single layers or blankets were also the carrots, broccoli heads, and garlic. Most everything did really well, even the edge nipped stuff (same as what I'm seeing on yours) bounced right back. Drooping stuff soldered on, but seemed weaker to pests in Jan/Feb. The one new banana however, was the casualty. Started out with triple layers trying to cover it without being right on the leaves. The winds pulled a section up and open during the worst night. Naturally right in the worst freeze path direction too. What should have been a dormant plant was also actively growing new leaves. Strawberries and kale just got heavily mulched with a fall leaf and straw mix, because I was out of even blankets to spare. Some of each got uncovered from wind, and didn't look that different from covered ones, two weeks later. Didn't cover the green onions, not even with mulch, and they got hit hardest I've ever seen. Mushy yuck all the way down, except the ones protected by building walls. At least the roots that make more are pumping out a ton of new ones already. Tart lemons, grapefruits, limes, aloe, fragile herbs and overwintering peppers did ok (peppers had to be cut back after), mulched and covered in the garage. Crammed up against the house wall and water heater. My guess was maybe 5 days with drying cold and no water didn't help those that ended up drooping. However, those five days were all about tending to the water pipes and humans not getting too chilled. Hadn't realized we didn't have much in the way of real winter bedding or clothes. Just not normally an issue here in South Carolina. lol I wore layers of full skirts and tops which kept the core warm, but grabbing/punching ice, and things with only my leather work gloves was not sufficient. We now own more winter wool socks, hats, shawls and winter gloves. ;) Still don't have our spring potatoes in. Getting late, I know, but those are always tricky to get through freezes without fully re-growing their tops. Reminder to save seeds from those odd plants that didn't get nipped as hard. This is why I avoid bought hybrids as much as possible. The only way I get winter lettuce, chard, and so on, is from seed adapted to these recent years. Potatoes still haven't quite gotten the message, but they are only a few years in. Although I wonder if I should separate fall potato seeds, from our spring stock of seeds. Fall potatoes have to be really heat tolerant, but there is also frost and freezes then too. Hm.

[@died4us590]

The carrots looked so great, and glad the blast didn't kill everything. When you prepare, it makes a difference. Much love to you Danny and Wanda, and G-d bless.

[@kimg9606]

You both have the greenest thumbs..love that you share your WISDOM, all of it

[@angieurban2069]

Western Colorado here and covered in 4 inches of snow. Yesterday we decided to dig some carrots as with the snow it had warmed a bit. Low and behold our carrots snuggled in the deep earth we just as sweet and crisp as could be. Just another testament to never give up on something . I think I’ll go out and dig the leftover fall radishes to see what they yield.

[@bearserker238]

I love hearing the pure joy in Danny's voice when the plants are still going strong.

[@melissavisconti89]

Congrats on all that was saved! What a great feeling seeing time & energy spent was worth it

[@beverlymichael5830]

You worked hard to protect everything and looks like most was saved. It will be great to get update on cabbages and others after a few days. You were blessed. no worries here in central indiana. Nothing growing. Except my garlic planted. It has a lot of insulation on top. Wont know til spring if the sub zero temps damaged the bulbs.

[@robinsilvers362]

Back in the day they covered their trees and set foot tubs of coals under the cover to keep the fruit trees from freezing in cold spring.

[@sabbyjones2308]

Love it when danny gets excited🤗

[@maltipoosoffgrid6868]

Y'all are the only truly successful gardener on KZbin. I aspire to to get my gardening to this level when my husband gets my green house up. Thank you for taking the time to share this with everyone. We are in Tennessee and are going to heat our first green house to help over winter and grow year round. We just had -5 with a wind chill of -24.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

You can do it!

[@niki9638]

SW MO. Was sick with Covid & other related issues over the negative temps. Did the best we could, some things made it, some didn’t. All the animals made it ok, so blessed for that.

[@GeorgiasGarden]

I’m in Texas. Our worst months are normally January and February too. Hard work protecting everything. Well worth it.

[@culdesacgrocerygarden]

This was so much fun to watch! Only a gardener geek would sit on the edge of their seat watching another gardener geek walk around uncovering stuff for over 30 minutes but in the future this might be the key to someone’s survival. I was so excited when you uncovered the big tomato in the kingdome. The cabbages outside- that was inspiring! Im sure you know what a fruit cage is, maybe something similar in the future, with the tarp thrown over that would help your citrus grove on the side of the house. Im thinking also about how Florida citrus growers burn fires in the grove when there’s a freeze. Maybe having a trash barrel to burn wood in over by the citrus trees would help. For smaller trees like your little kumquat I have put upside down 55 gallon trash cans over them wrapped in the bubble wrap car windshield shades- bricks on top. You did good! I hate to even think about how my orchard on the deck did. It will be months before we know. Thinking about it makes me feel sick.

[@maupinmaupin1472]

I worked at a nursery when I was younger, and when there was a freeze, all the Antonellis were out there in the field and greenhouse watering for all they were worth. They said plants will burn if they need water and they freeze. They raised tuberous begonias.

[@garybarkley2286]

I put Christmas Christmas lights not the led kind but the bulb they put off enough heat to keep it from freezing

[@pinschrunner]

I LIVE kumquat jelly! Even at 28*F for several nights in Florida, my OKRA survive and is blooming and producing again. Okra usually doesn't survive under 65*F. God beat the weather warfare. God is good, all the time!

[@lindahogeland1291]

The tomatoe that wasnt hurt, has the fern protecting its feet. Cover around the roots as well as tarp the tops.

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

My up time has been early. I have to multi task (listen to any video / podcast) while I get inside stuff done before chores & head to my day job.

[@lindachandler2293]

When I've had 3 or 4 bigger tomato plants and had to cover them up, I've had good luck with heating a couple of bricks as hot as I could handle in gloves and putting them on the ground, under the cover, off to the side, for sure not touching the plant. The warm bricks give just that little bit extra heat that rises up into the tent of the cover.

[@peterwhelan6144]

Danny , here in Australia we grow the carrots in rows and thin them out before they grow too big .

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

Here in Montana I have fund that those moving blankets work so well to cover my plants. I buy them at harbor freight and buy a few every year. I even use blankets sometimes. I buy those at thrift stores.

[@joeog382]

those tarps was the worse thing to use

[@This-Hobos-Tread]

It got down to 10 here our kumquat tree which is loaded was left completely exposed and is undamaged the fruit skin that was ripe became slightly thinner slightly juicier and slightly milder. The unripe ones are uneffected altogether

[@MH-53E]

Good morning all. Seems to me a little buddy heater and a 20 lb tank in each high tunnel would keep them above freezing thru the coldest hours thus saving everything. If you can get past this cold snap the remainder of January looks really warm. Just get past these few weeks...

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Good morning!

[@classicrocklover5615]

But heat rises and those tunnels are so high. Are the ceilings insulated? You'd almost need to build a false ceiling about 6 ft high and create a tent-like structure indoors.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

@@classicrocklover5615 all it takes is a little sun and the temperature rises very fast in them.

[@helenkessler6012]

We used a couple heaters but our citrus lost all their leaves. Abrupt changes in temperature

[@MH-53E]

You're right about the heat rising, you would want to circulate the air. Those tunnels are really long as well. I don't know if there's a cheap way to do it.

[@drthomason7043]

You can eat the carrot leaves, I just steamed mine Cut a cross into the top of cauli, broccoli 🥦 and cabbage stalks and more with grow

[@ShalomShalom-d5c]

If you leave carrots in the ground after a freeze, they are sweeter. I live in the desert out west & we get freezes (26•), not supposed to be able to grow citrus but I do. I cover the trees. By May the areas that froze turn brown/white & brittle, usually the top 6". I cut those parts off. They are dwarfs but still grow 12" in a season. They do well, but I planted them up next to the stucco in my courtyard. Stucco & stone retain heat & give it off over night, another way to protect them.

[@AAHomeGardening]

Good to see the carrots 🥕 still looking good

[@russbowman6801]

In the country of central Georgia It got down to 8 degrees and killed the lemon and satsumas. UFLA extension says the core could survive, to give them a chance to leaf out this spring to give them a chance before pulling them out. Our collards wilted, but came back! Little lettuce and beet sprouts survived. We did all we could to save the citrus, covering them and putting a light bulb under the tarp. They sure look dead to us, but maybe the core made it. We will see this spring.

[@mdoreneb5315]

In AZ. when there is a freez coming in, we have wells around the trees, and we water them because the water gives off heat for the trees. also a fan to move the air. But you are in a different climate and it may not work in your area.

[@lesliea.m.5392]

Up north here we leave the carrots in for the first frost it makes them sweeter❤

[@victoriaprice905]

I take the carrot greens and dehydrate them to use in soups, stews and whatever.

[@davidandrzejewski9127]

In the north , I am from Michigan, when we have a frost, if you take a hose and wash off the ice crystals before the sun hits the plants. That prevents the leaves from getting Frost bit. This is what we do in the north. Maybe someone knows the physics behind this, but it works. Hope this helps.

[@susanm1224]

Praises to Him! I am in North Florida. My romaine, carrots, cabbage, green onions and greens survived. My blackberry and raspberry bush look cold along the edges. My volunteer tomatoes and my green peppers are toast. Our lows were 20-22 for 10 hours for 2 nights and less than 30 the last two nights. We pulled all the citrus off the trees. I haven’t looked at my key lime- it got hurt last year from the cold.The other trees are way too large to cover but faired well because they are under some cover from large pine and oak on the NW corner.

[@daddio7249]

I caged my small citrus trees like you did and fill those with oak leaves. Our lows were 21 F, just a few leaves near the edge froze. I put my bananas, cassava and papayas in my garage and then built a wooden frame around them and stapled 4x8 sheets of foil backed Styrofoam to the frame and then put a heat lamp inside. I built a plywood enclosure around my two avocados and put heat lamps inside those. Another KZbinr in North Carolina uses C9 incandescent Christmas tree lights for heat. Home Depot had theirs on sale for $7.50 each, I ordered 20. Should have doubled that.

[@scrimshawrose3236]

Hi Danny and Wanda, I'm glad so many of your plants survived. I love to see your show.

[@yellowbird5411]

Green tomatoes will ripen slowly in a Styrofoam cooler or cardboard box. Wrap each tomato in newspaper or other paper, pack into the box and put the lid on. Put in a cool spot on the porch or laundry room, and check again in a month. I picked tomatoes in Virginia that were green, and packed them this way as Prevention Magazine recommended it. At Christmas, I was still eating ripe tomatoes. BUT green tomatoes makes delicious fried green tomatoes and you can find recipes for the breading online. I would rather pick the green tomatoes and pack them away, rather than let them freeze. There are many recipes that use green tomatoes, and you find them online. I also left carrots in the ground all winter in Virginia, and pulled them the following spring. They were very fat, short, and absolutely delicious. Very sweet! The cold turns the starch to sugar!

[@deborahcreppon6709]

Tomatoes, Peppers in winter? That would be a blessing. I had small tomato, cherry in protected place. It almost gave me two tomatoes. hugs.

[@janpenland3686]

Thanks Danny and Wanda. My garden didn't fair as well as y'all's did. Our wind chill got down to -4 to -9 for five days and nights. I lost all my carrots, kale, kohlrabi, radishes, turnips, spinach, and potatoes. I'll cut the potatoes back today and pray for the best. I'm not sure if I lost all my rutabagas or not. Some of them might come back. My onions, garlic, and garlic chives got bit back but will be fine. My broccoli and collards are fluorishing. My peppers will have to be cut back except for my cayenne which I had already cut back and brought inside. This is its 3rd winter and is already putting out new growth. My oregano got bit back but has plenty of green so it's good. My parsley got bit back really hard but its heart is still green so it might make it. All in all, God is Great! Much Love ❤

Then it'll warm up again they'll try to start coming back up they'll get anywhere between two to three inches tall other cold snap will come through kill them. Our peach tree has buds on it. The weather so crazy nothing knows what to do.

Good morning

[@helenkentwell5042]

Hi, watched with interest and concern for your after freeze results. A pretty good out come. It’s a good practice run for sure when tough times arrive. I’m in Australia and until 4 yrs ago I owned a farm about an hour north of Newcastle, east coast of NSW. We got a few frosts every winter and occasionally one which looked like snow. I had a vegetable garden and in the morning after a decent frost, the plants looked unaffected until the sun touched them. That’s when they died. Apparently could not cope with the temp change. I used to cover some if I suspected a severe frost but got caught out occasionally. Blankets that Removalists use for protecting furniture are excellent over Tomato plants etc because they are very thick. Of course a frame or stake is best to hold the weight off the plant or tree,. Any sort of blanket or Hessian with plastic tarp on top seemed to work the best to keep them snug. I didn’t find much of an insulating effect with just a plastic tarp. I hope the next couple of your winter months are more reasonable than this terrible freeze you’ve had. All the best for 2023 Wanda and Danny and all your viewing family.

[@ajohnson6890]

I'm happy about your outcome. I will definitely allow my survivors to go to seed this year even though I have plenty of seeds left.
