All though we’ve had several hard frosts here in the mountains of Appalachia, we are still eating from the garden. Walk around with me and see what we have growing.

I never acquired a taste for turnips, but love me some mustard greens. I love to cook a big pot with some smoked turkey legs and hot sauce, and we'll eat on it for days. ❤❤❤
Did you put anything special in ground to grow them??..I grow good tops no carrots..Three rivers says to cut tops and dehydrate the tops and use as seasoning
Arch of Death🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm still getting a few tomatoes in my raised beds. Asian cabbage is doing good and I have a volunteer tater plant which looks like it's going to have a few big ones.
I'm experimenting with English peas and they may make a few pods before frost bites. My alleged son is an agriculture teacher and he said I could plant my peas in February, which i did and they prospered.
I have kale too.
My onions and garlic do well every year.
That's about it.
I love the walk through the garden and hear the love you have in your voice for your garden, and along with love there is amazement…your amazement at what you have grown!
I thoroughly enjoy your channel, your voice has such a calming presence too! Cannot believe the size of those carrots!!
Hey Tipper looks like you've joined the "slow movement" group! I sew and quilt and when I take up needle and thread in hand , I become A slow stitcher! I think planting a fall garden makes one a slow gardener.
For radishes do you use bone meal when planting seeds? root crops need phosphorus…try an experiment too, this yr for me my best radishes were the ones I over threw in the garden bed and they were all in the grass and never got raked in or covered,,,huh…seeds in the grass thats it, purple radish and French breakfast variety, they were huge still picking them up here in Minnesota. and for slugs put out a 3"-4" capful of beer.
Those carrots are just screaming carrot cake to me 😂❤
I love these tours! We also live on the more northern facing Mtn slope in the SW. update on the onion bugs too please!🙏🏻 You can get rid of them!
Completely agree about the frost. Greens taste so much better after a couple of frosts on them- Susan from TN
Wow those carrots are great! Mine didn't do well at all this year. I grew corn and it did well but probably about a week before picking the raccoons had a party and ate it ALL! Funny about expanding the garden mine started 4 years ago 20×20 now its 120×60. I don't have anything growing for the winter it's already frosted 3 or 4 times and it will get down in the teens at the drop of a hat. I use the leaves also, probably till them in tonight or tomorrow. Its dry and there're blowing all over. Thanks again for sharing!
Now to me, there ain’t nothing much better than stewed turnips, and hot cornbread! It just don’t doesn’t get no better. Now at least one those carrots would go good in vegetable beef stew. Also, with Thanksgiving coming up, you can cut up one of those turnips, carrot, an onion, and a stalk of celery, and put them in the cavity of the turkey, for added flavor.
Thanks again Tipper for a great video 👍🙏
Wow! Now that's a carrot! Love when you are in the garden! Congrats on the carrots!
I really enjoy your channel
I have 50 strawberry plugs ready to plant in my greenstalk and also in waiting is a tiny box of walking onions and another box of sprouted potatoes. I still have to clean out the dead plants from this last summer, weed, add compost and plant some greens. Have the spinach seeds read as I adore fresh spinach as a snack. My lemon tree has a beautiful batch of almost yellow meyer lemons – Christmas gift for me! The deer ate all my figs and wild birds are covering my gone to seed spinach. So instead of fruits, I have beautiful birds decorating my garden. Your garden looks wonderful – that cozy, colorful blanket of leaves covering it and the beautiful black soil highlighted with rows of bright green leaves.
I always enjoy your yard tours, love seeing the seasons you have.
Great video! You answered my question I was going to ask about the leaves from the trees. I agree. Let them decompose and feed the earth. Also, could you eat those big leaves on your cabbage plant, or would removing them keep it from heading up? I laughed out loud at the giant atomic carrots! As always, thanks for sharing! ❤️😃👍🏻
We always sowed turnips in late summer so they would head up by winter, we’d eat greens and leave the turnips in the ground so we’d have greens very early in the spring.
Debbie-Texas. Maybe thrives on the onions. Has happened to me with them. Like lice. Blessings to you and thank you
How did the tomato plants on grow bags turn out for you? Did you move them into the greenhouse?
It'll be interesting to see how long you can keep that kohlrabi going. Have you made anything with those carrots yet?
really enjoy your videos, only thing left in our garden are the blackberry arbors! we had 2 mornings with temperatures in the low 20`s so peppers, tomatos and onions are all done!
