Love a video that starts with a man flexing watering all his seedlings! 💪

Thanks for explaining the Persephone period: a concept I’ve not come across before here in the southern hemisphere.

Pretty sure it exists down there I'm just guessing the dates are the opposite.

@@zacharybuchel9024 in New Zealand where our local climate is mild but gardeners are still advised to sow for winter at end of summer/start of autumn to plant by May (your November). I assume there is an interaction of effects: a mix of Persephone (light) with local climatic effects (temperature).

@ I guess looks can be deceiving! 🤪 We just completed our first year growing under our high tunnel. First time winter gardening as well. We experimented with spinach, kale, lettuce (can’t remember variety), cilantro (awesome touch to any lettuce meal), and bunching onions. One question on watering in the winter. Do you water at all during the winter? What does that look like for you?

Do you get much sun outside in the winter? I do not see temperature such as the cold much of a problem, for growing, but a lack of light could be a problem, for growing. During the winter it is normally cloudy, so this could be a problem, for growing outside. If clouds block the sun a lot during the winter then I think this could prevent proper growth. Having a backup plan might be a good idea. Maybe considering growing indoors as well can be done, but not as much. If what you are trying to grow outside does not grow, or properly grow then at least you would have grown something indoors, so then maybe you could transplant what you have grown indoors to outdoors when the weather is nicer.

Sun is low which is why nothing grows only harnestjng.

@@farmtablewest5991 I tried growing outdoors, and indoors. I was able to do both. If you want to grow well you can still do it. I only grew a little bit of food indoors, and outdoors just to see if I could do it, and I was able to do it. I published a video on my youtube channel showing what I grew outdoors, and the germination process was faster than I expected. Sometimes it is good to experiment to try to learn something new, and by doing research as well this can prove to be beneficial in the long run. The next time I try growing food I plan to growing more of it, and hopefully enough food, for the entire year. I might be preserving food as well the next time I grow food.

I think this was a cheap Amazon one. I have a Dji Bluetooth now. I think it's $300
