I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your great content. I’ve been following you for over 2 years and have learned so much. I am on the MS/TN border so our zones are similar. I’m not a professional so I have tons to learn. My husband and I have studied your irrigation videos and now I’m preparing to plant a winter garden. Thank you so much for teaching us!!!!!
You're very welcome! I'm so happy the videos are helpful. Drip irrigation will make your gardening life so much better you'll be wondering why you didn't do it sooner. It's a revelation. I have all my drip irrigation tutorials organized here if you need more guidance: ru-vid.com/group/PL1gY7BoYBGIHHHsx0JPcYgD4xXzA96usL&si=Q2nrUmmg7qCI_Wby
@@TheMillennialGardener I appreciate your videos. You’re one of the reasons I was able to have a very successful garden in the first year, and without any prior experience. Much more planned for this year and in better timing.
I grow all of my root vegetables as transplants using soil blocks. Almost zero loss and I love it! Especially for carrots! I’ll never direct sow carrots again. Something to consider… Great video! Came here for a list of things to start now and I’m staying because of the info and I’m very happy to find out we are in the same state 😊
Because of your encouragement I’ve planted a greens mix and lettuces 🌱in succession since summer and I just picked myself another salad and it’s December 29th. I live in zone 7a now (6b before the change) and I had no idea I could grow salad’s this late. So cool to have fresh homegrown greens in winter. And with a little protection they might last all winter.
HI! It just turned 2024 over here in wa state ( also 8b)🤔 can u tell me the what the white material on your hoops is? I just put 6ml plastic over mine today but idk if that stuff u have keeps plants warmer in winter. Its not very cold here either i dont think weve even had a frost yet. Peoples bulbs are coming up already. I thank you for your channel content. I love how you give us information we need without chit chatting about non related things. Its a real professional channel. We are so new at gardening but its going well. Your videos come out just as im thinking of what to do next and how. I want to plant carrots in the raised beds last yr i started them indoors...well that was wrong! I now know you have to direct sow them. Thanks!
I live in Statesville NC in zone 7b I am going to try growing radishes now thanks for your utube Chanel didn't know they would grow now been watching u long time have good day
i love this time of year not for the weather but for the planning. seed racks and supplies start showing up. Seed start coming in the mailbox. this year Im expanding my veggie bed to grow even more food. We are still eating sweet corn i grew last summer but this year i want to grow enough for my parents to have some.
Your gardening content is excellent. I'm addicted to vegetable gardening here in central Maryland. Last night's freeze and two days of snow may have finally ended my collard greens!
This video is going to be helpful. I’m a recent transplant to upstate SC and I’m still learning the growing seasons here. With you and I both on the NC SC border looking up more of your videos could be a great help
Just placed my 2024 seed order from SESE for late winter/early spring! In past years everything had to be harvested by mid May but last year it was early April😮. March was HOT so my timing was way off. Crops needed just a few more weeks til harvest but everything went to hell and I lost a lot. There's not enough shade cloth in the world for that heat. You're right about timing is everything, but this is a whole new environment and just when I think I've got it nailed there's a new challenge, and this heat is going to be it. Good news is I've been eating kale, lettuce, bok choy, & mustard greens for about a month & I'll continue to sow every couple of weeks until I reach failure. As for onions, I've always wondered why my green onions never germinated! You're the first gardener to talk about day length zones. I had no idea! And lastly, Burpees prices have skyrocketed. I buy primarily from SESE whose prices have hardly changed but received the burpee catalog and the difference shocked me. Have you noticed this?
I wish he could be cloned. I'd take 2. I should also thank you for your videos, in general. I have 3 Chicago Hardy Figs, and I got over 100 the past summer, thanks to your detailed videos. @@TheMillennialGardener
Since I’ve discovered your channel, you are my primary source of gardening information. We also live in zone 8b in South Carolina. I have a BS In horticulture (many moons ago😅), so I love all the science in your content. That avocado video was amazing!
I will be building some of these hoop houses and starting my brassicas and root veggies much earlier this year! I don't know what the next few months hold, but the weather has been very mild here in MA, almost no days below freezing since late November. Glad to see that Dale had a wonderful Christmas!
I found your channel when I was living in zone 8b as well, but in the PNW and always was jealous that you could plant in January/February. It's not usually possible in the PNW because of the constant rain and lack of sun. Now I'm in South Carolina, 8b-9a and I can finally start my garden in January!!! So excited!!!
See, I refuse to believe that. Out in the open, it may be true, but I think a lot is possible under cover. If you start the seeds indoors, then transplant them, as long as they're protected, they'll crawl along, albeit slowly. Obviously, it's going to be wayyyy easier gardening now 9 months a year. However, the summers here are on another level. May 15-Sep 15 is going to feel like another planet and you'll be missing those dry summer days of the PNW. Shade cloth will be your best friend!
I think this is the best, and I do mean the very best video you have ever made. it was very informative and so full of very useful tip I can use in my very first garden. Keep up the most excellent work. Ric from Louisiana
I planted my cilantro last month and still growing eventhough we recently and including today had snow. I covered them with the greenhouse plastic. I live in Springfield, Missouri:
You gave me two confirmations! I plant all my root stuff directly. And my lettuces, first time in winter, are looking great, but growing slower. My romaine never sprouted!
Romaine likes it a little warmer. I recommend starting romaine indoors. They'll even do well on a seedling mat. In my experience, romaine is *not* very frost tolerant. True red romaines can take a little cold, but green romaine is a fair weather lettuce. For cold weather, I recommend the curly, leafy red types.
Howdy MG! What a joy watching Dale open some of his gifts!🐕 Sweet seeing y'all's joy in being his parents. 😄 Sorry to see your broccoli going to flower...I think you did get to harvest some. Another great video...thanks.😃💕
He was *so excited!* He was watching the gifts being wrapped for awhile and you could see all the memories flooding back in his eyes. He left everything alone like we told him to, but as soon as we told him to get his presents, he exploded. It was so nice to see the joy in his eyes. When the broccoli separates, we just stir fry it. It's still pretty good. I'm going to try a more heat tolerant variety next year with larger heads.
Thanks for the great information you gave us. and we live in Washington and today we saw Hungarian blue bread seed poppy. We love growing something interesting 🧐
Love that you guys make sure there’s pressies for Dale on Christmas Day. Our fids all get pressies too. Our Boxer, Hanna, received a huge pork hide roll and a doggy splash pad this year 😊.
Thank you for helpful content. I plan to succeed in starting seeds indoors. I am North Florida. I believe we are zone 8b as well. I loved seeing your dog open his toys. 🎉😂🤣😂🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💣 I will clean out my raised beds one warmer day soon a direct sow. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you very much for, another year of sharing what you do and know with us. Also, it's been very nice to see Dale grow, like your channel. Thank you very, very much!!! Wishing you lots of happiness, health, and bounty in your garden to you and whoever reads this comment 🌱🌺🌳🐶🍋🥑🍅🥬🫑🥒on 2024!🥂🍾🎉
So glad you addressed the need to evaluate area and adjust. I have seen so many channels saying start seeds now, including hot weather veggies. It's still way too early for us up north. I appreciate your transparency as others are not taking that step to call that out.
Thank you so much for all the great content. I know it’s very time consuming to put together but is much appreciated and very helpful. Have a great new year and give Dale a giant hug and scratch.
Bahaha, I thought your mic cover was like a sterling silver bear/wolf medallion. 😂 Thanks for the tips, got a few radishes, lettuces, yo choy sum, winter choy, bok choy and chard growing in my southern facing utility room here in southern Ohio. Wish I could share pics!
It's very windy where I live. I need a dead cat mic cover or the audio wouldn't be usable. They work like magic. I've filmed in hurricanes and they suppress the wind nearly 100%. That's very impressive work in Ohio, for sure.
Very exciting!!! Thank you so much for these videos. Ive already sprouted a lot of these and am waiting until February next year to put them in the ground.
I’m in Portland, Oregon zone 9a. nothing’s gonna grow in the outside I mean it’s just not gonna happen so I’m gonna take some of your suggestions and try setting up seeds inside in the garage by the window having better luck there. Thanks for posting happy new year.
I have a ton of tomatoes on my plants in a covered raised bed that we do heat when temps drop. They are just taking forever to turn red. I did it as a fun experiment.
I have a pepper plant that I stopped caring for because I expected to get a killing freeze at some point. It’s still alive and putting on peppers, albeit not a lot, and not fast. I’m in North Florida, but we’ve normally had some sort of freeze by now. Heck, last year we had been in the teens by now.
I just found your channel, great job!!! We are right below you in SC, Myrtle Beach area. Learning everything and still confused on an ideal layout for our backyard.
Glad you found me! Everything I do should apply to you, pretty much. Choose the sunniest spot you can for a garden. Now is a good time to do that, because sun hours are at a minimum. Find a spot that gets 6 hours of uninterrupted sun now. If it can get 6 hours of sun now, it'll get more in summer.
I’m getting that sowing bug itch 😂 after watching your video. I do have book Choy, arugula, broccoli, collard greens, radish, and various lettuce in my beds right now.
Your videos are always so helpful! What are the big posts with brackets standing tall in the background of your videos? Are they for string trellis...?
I enjoyed Dale's Christmas. We are zone 8B in Oregon but whatever seeds we put in the ground rots because of all the rain I would like to put some hoops out there and try some transplants.
Dale really enjoyed Dale's Christmas 😆 The hoops are amazing 365 days a year. They block the cold and excess rain in the winter. They block the excess sun in the summer. They block the insects in spring, summer and fall. It's really awesome. You can put whatever cover you want: greenhouse plastic, agricultural fabric row covers, shade cloth, insect netting, etc. No matter what day it is, you can find a use for the hoops.
