What to plant first. Planting in zone 4B

[@Mrwillie95]

Come on sara you are surprised that Matt would come back home with Girls scouts cookies 🍪 and it is so good to see Sara and yeah even Matt too

[@mattsara2802]

😄 I am glad you are still around Mr. Willie 😁. I had to get some cookies 🍪😃

[@northstarprepsteader]

Awesome assortment of medicinal herbs!! I did lives on many of those. Mullein is excellent for respiratory tea. Calendula is great for bee stings too.

[@mattsara2802]

I will definitely have to go back and look. 😊

[@KCMNgardner]

So glad to see you again you can make tinctures and oils from some of the herbs. Nasturtium and bachelor button are edible flowers as well as well as balloon flowers.

[@mattsara2802]

Well that sounds amazing and I can’t wait to start planting them 😃

[@JA-mt3lm]

I saw this video late, but, the medicinal herbs I 100% recommend together are-fresh picked chamomile flowers (10-20), 3-5 fresh picked leaves of cat nip and some thyme. Put together in tea bag for 1 cup - use as nighttime tea with honey if you want. Melts stress away..😊

[@mattsara2802]

Thanks 😊 I will definitely give that a try.

So excited to see a (planting) video from you! I was ready to go do dishes but had logged onto KZbin and saw your video and had to watch that first! I hope you are all doing well. I'm looking forward to the next video! 💜

[@mattsara2802]

Hi Jenny😃. We are doing well and have been praying 🙏 for you still.

[@whitestone4401]

Great to see you Sara, I’ve been watching Matt on his other channel. Happy to see you all doing so well.

[@mattsara2802]

Thanks! 👋

[@HomesteadingNorthernMichigan]

Good morning my amazing friends, I hope you all have a wonderful day

[@mattsara2802]

You too! 👋

60 days on onions huh... explains why our onions never took 😆

[@mattsara2802]

😆

[@elizabethammermann8182]

I was planning on starting my onions this week also. I love Livingston seeds. I purchase them at Runnings.

[@mattsara2802]

That’s awesome 😃

[@thefilamentcorner]

Thanks for the video, my first year trying to grow onions from seed and I've already learned that I planted them too deep following the seed packs so thanks for the tips. If I get any more seed I'll sow them the way you do. I know fever few can be used to help with migraines, Lee over at Kodiak Farm Bees-Lee makes a tincture I believe using the plant.

[@mattsara2802]

Thanks for the tip. I will have to talk to Lee

[@LytonaKirtz]

Good to see you again! I’ve missed you! I’ve cut holes in the tops of bags a scooped. It works well. I got my dirt today so I’m going to be planting onions. Maybe celery, too. I love your garden videos.

[@mattsara2802]

Thanks 😊 well we are going to try and put out one video a week 😃

[@LytonaKirtz]

@@mattsara2802 I hope you do. I bet the kids are really growing.

[@mattsara2802]

Oh yes they are 😃

[@LytonaKirtz]

@@mattsara2802 what grades are they in? Are you doing any subbing?

[@mattsara2802]

We both do lots of volunteering and run around with all the sports

[@maryranch5329]

Good morning and nice to see you both 💞

[@mattsara2802]

Good morning Mary 😊

Could you please share the link for the MN site whereas the planting calendar can be printed off? I can't find it. It is an excellent, extensive, and thorough site!!

[@mattsara2802]

This should be it 😃. extension.umn.edu/find-plants/vegetables#seeding-and-transplanting-2396061

[@LittleHomesteadOnHinerPond]

So good to see you! Do you normally start end of Feb of is this early because of our crazy warm winter? I’m also in MN just northeast of St Paul.

[@mattsara2802]

😃. For onions yes we do. This isn’t the first time weather like this fooled people but not us we stick to our rules.

[@LittleHomesteadOnHinerPond]

I went to the UofM extension website and I can only find a schedule that scrolls up and down inside a window. I couldn’t find anything to print. What link did you use?

[@mattsara2802]

I think this is what you need. extension.umn.edu/find-plants/vegetables#seeding-and-transplanting-2396061

Only us guys know the true horror of extreme pressure from a girl scout when it's cookie selling time. They can smell our fear and latch onto us like dogs to a ribeye steak!

[@mattsara2802]

🤣😂😃😂😃😂🤣😂 spot on.

[@karinwickenhauser1418]

Question about temps. We live near you and are mid-build on a greenhouse. Have you kept track of winter temps at all?

[@mattsara2802]

Yes it s about 15 to 20 degrees warmer than outside.

[@dcsblessedbees]

Matt you donate the money but leave the cookies, Girl scout cookies are dangerous.

[@mattsara2802]

😂🤣😂🤣 I should have. Once the kids heard I bought them they were gone in a blink of an eye.

[@SouthernBlessedHomestead]

We are getting ready to plant about 500 onions, I thought that was a lot and y’all just planted around 1600 😂😂

[@mattsara2802]

😂 you can never have enough plus some always die 😄
