Looks excellent! Thanks for sharing. I am in upstate NY and our winters have been getting more mild in recent years. I am considering trying winter growing next year. This year I am sticking to my indoor hydroponics for the winter and looking forward to seed starting for next year.

We are exploring more indoor growing this year. Lots of microgreens and even some lettuce plants in the windowsill.

Your "average" fall/winter garden is wonderful! I could only do one hoop house this year (16' X 4'), but I was able to pick up 2 nice windows I found along the road back in October. So next year, it's on! But I've been pulling some nice little carrots for our salads. My arugula did just fantastic, and so did my mixed lettuces. But, like you, I couldn't get the spinach to germinate. I do have some Cherry Belle radishes that did well. My Winter Density started well, but something was nibbling it, and now, of course, it won't grow. All in all, I'm still very happy that I tried, and will try again next year. Maybe some of the things, like kale, Brussels Sprouts, and broccoli will live long enough to produce something. Thank you for the tour!

Thanks for video. Growing kale, collards, s.chard, mustard and radishes. Started late with some all doing well with covering. Really like mustard they grow so fast and they are suppose be better than spinach in nutrition. Just have get some timing right. I like your suggest of more covering. Going try placing freeze cloth with plastic some sensitive things see if they do better. Plan try grow some crops over winter. Taken collards already they are still growing well. Sorry I am in zone 7 now 7b. Thanks again. I get your newsletter. Not sure how but signed up. Take care.

Thanks for watching! Sounds like you have a great winter garden growing!

I love experimenting! Last year I grew cabbage, carrots, beets, rutabagas, and turnips under hoops and it worked well. Hope your veggies do well also.

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

How did the cabbages do? I have a couple that I didn't show in the video, it's my first time trying to overwinter them.

[@markrasmussen8446]

Are you still 6b? Lehi down the road from you got reclassified to 7a now. Nice looking kale and lettuce! I like Nevada in my hydroponics as well as it seems slower to bolt.

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

Honestly I don't fuss too much about zones. When I did the master gardening program from USU they told us to treat all Wasatch Front locations as zone 6b. I'm also really close to the river so the cold air in the valley sinks to our location. But really zones are for plant hardiness, frost dates are the more important measure.

How do you water in the winter?

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

I don't! No need to water from about mid November to early March.

[@lovitathome9038]

How are you watering in these temps?

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

This is a really good question. And that is the beauty of winter gardening. As long as you kept them well watered earlier in the fall they don't need to be watered at all during the winter. I don't water from mid-November to Mid-March.

@@StoneyAcresGardening 😁, I'm in Colorado

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

@lovitathome9038 We are in Utah so pretty similar winters. So you would be able to do the same.

[@inthehouse9062]

Is there a free winter gardening mini course or free to join?

[@StoneyAcresGardening]

I'm not sure I'm following your question. There's a link in the description to my FREE mini-course. Just click the link and you can sign up for it on my website and watch it when ever you like.
