Everything looks great. Your garden looks nice even in the fall🍂🍁
Gary, I like to eat turnips and Kohlrabi raw for a snack. How can I use them in cooking? Are they used like a potato?
Congrats on your 2nd book! Thanks for everything.
Excellent video. I’m potting up runners now. Don’t really like the kind of strawberries, June baring and very soft. But I can give them away and maybe others will have better luck. They were free to begin with, might as well pass them along.
Thanks Garry!
I'm in Bowie, MD, so your schedule helps me know what to do when. Thanks.
Thank you, Gary! This was helpful.
Question: radishes have lots of greens, but aren't bulbing. Thoughts? I'm in Maryland also – could the warm weather make this difference?
"…try not to be overwhelmed." Seriously?! – Wife says, "I like his garden he's not perfectionistic."
Gary, for the strawberry runners that you are planting now and selling in the spring… can the customers expect those to produce next season?
Where do you live?
My peppers got wiped out and my basil was severely damages with the thirteen hour freeze on Nov 1st. I got a final harvest of slightly over 5 pounds after coring and dicing the peppers. Some of my Elephant Garlic and grocery store mystery garlic has sprouted. I harvested the last of my turnips and have a new batch growing. I also harvested some lettuce and Pak Choi. The rutabaga roots are starting to swell, the kohlrabi is looking healthy, and the komatsuna and Yellow Heart Winter Choy are ready to start harvesting from. My pepper bed and grow bags are covered with a layer of chopped leaves for the winter. My winter tomato experiment is doing very good with all plants being healthy.
Absolutely beautiful fall garden tour! Really appreciate you constantly keeping us motivated and focused on our growth, which is totally my goal 💪😎👏💯💓🍂🍁🍃🥬🧄🥦🍓
I like the idea of the strawberries in the towers. All those lettuce varieties in the tower look great. I like that you have beds prepared for next year – way to to stay on top of things! I always enjoy your videos, especially garden tours. Such a big garden, so many things growing. Thanks for making my morning. (I haven't been around much in videos or livestreams. My cat Fireball was very sick – had a stroke caused by anesthesia from dental surgery; he passed away on Halloween. Grief takes a lot out of me). I still have my sweet Luna (pictured).
Thank you for sharing
A7 17.50 you talked about all the weeds that had gone to seed. I use a powerful cordless vacuum to remove all the seeds that are loose and about to drop. Most of the rest remain at the seed-head if you pull them immediately.
Gary, hi I’ve been watching your videos for months now and have learned so much from you. I’m in zone 10a Florida I’m going to try to sale some of my pepper plants in my area organic Carolina reapers, habaneros jalapeño Poblano Thai and one other I forget the name. started them by seed the other day. This is my first garden and have had it since July its going well thank God. but, didn’t know where to go to find out rules in my area to sale those. Maybe some website?😂I watched your other video about selling plants and you really encouraged me to do this. Any suggestions would be appreciated😁
Question: Will you offer a few of your plants for sale at Freetown Farm?
Is gardening your full time job? I assume so because I can't even imagine how much all those beds, containers, etc cost!
