  2. Have you ever tried malabar spinach? Its a perennial here in 9b. I think it is native to tropical countries. Ive had mine for several years and the little berries that drop are seeds ive mutiplied my plant. It draws moisture from the air so if i get lazy with watering its fine. The only thing is its doesnt taste well if you cook it so i use it for salads only.

  3. Hey I live in rocky point and the way i do carrots is by soaking the bed, putting out the seed, then covering with a tarp. I check on them every day after day 3 and as soon as i see the first plant germinate i take off the tarp, water again and thats it.

  4. Im in zone 6a, and I built the hoop house like you've said. It recently got down to 19 degrees at night & my veggies were fine! I harvested radishes and bok choi 2 days ago. Thanks for all the information, you're wonderful at explaining these thing!! Happy growing❤

  5. Thanks so much for your tips. I have trouble with my raised beds – can’t figure out soil, how much to water, fertilizer

  6. I only found your channel recently and I’ve been really enjoying it, very in-depth explanations. Would love to see more or pre planning and more pruning/pest control

  7. Zone 8b here too – Western Oregon and I'm planting these plus 'cover crop' broad beans and Austrian field peas for both fixing nitrogen AND winter greens!
    They are sprouting in seed trays and will go out soon … do have some slugs, so it will be good to plant a bit larger.
    I've also for ramps in a seed tray – been in the fridge for a week, then ruin temp for a couple, and I'll put it back in the fridge for a few more, hoping to rich then into sprouting!

  8. you mentioned in one of your previous videos that you might not be living there forever in 5-10 years. Do you plan to move or is there a health reason? Hope all is ok

  9. I struggle with onions. I start them indoors but they just start dying after a few weeks. How many hours a day should I have them under grow lights?

  10. The last few years I have started beets inside and transplanted them with great results. Try it, it will only cost you a packet of seeds.

  11. Your videos are just great. You do a very good job of explaining exactly what's what.
    1 question: How do you keep your houses from freezing in those grow needs? I'm in SC midlands and my water house freezes almost every year. Thank you for your very informative videos😊

  12. I've watched your video several times! Thank you for lots of information. This is very helpful. It gives me a chance to actually start growing things I like to eat, and not be sorry that I missed the right time to plant. Thank you!
