Growing & Forcing Belgian Endive *my first attempt!
Просмотров 5 тыс.Год назад
This video shows you the extra steps required to grow Belgian Endive. A similar blanching (forcing) process is also used for treviso tardivo too. I definitely want to try it again, and find a better darker spot that averages about 50* F, and grow it in a sunnier bed with only 3 rows per bed at 6'' spacing. Overall, they stored really well in the cooler, some keeping well into springtime (may a ...

Lets tally up the season and quantify what it takes to grow the best darn salads! While I generally love adding up my year end totals I hope you don't think of them as a boast. These are just a glimpse at some of the most fun numbers to add up! I know that these numbers are teeny compared to many farms, and that doesn't matter so much... but what does matter is that I can already see much more ...

Small Farm Recordkeeping Workflow

This video shows my methods to the madness of keeping farm records. My goal is to keep all the records I need and none of the records that I dont. If I know I wont look it up later... I dont worry about it. But if it will help me make a better crop plan or streamline my taxes- that is a record worth keeping!

Bottom Heated Greenhouse Tables *Electric*
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.2 года назад
Heated Greenhouse Benches can be a great tool for consistently happy seed germinating and transplant growth. My benches are not just for starting seeds but for maintaining suitable growing conditions without the use of an additional propane heater for the air. Root Zone heating systems are often hydronic- which means that propane or electric is used to heat water and then that hot water transfe...

So I think "Blondie" frisee might be my spirit vegetable? Blonde farmer, blonde food. This is how you turn your frisee (or curly endive) into gold, or blanches blonde color! I shot these clips in June 2021, and just now sharing. Hopefully it helps to see what stage the plants are at for tying. I highly recommend tying them up in some way like this it takes them from boring green to interesting,...

Walk in Cooler in DIY insulated Cargo Trailer for Small Farm
When I moved here from Europe, mache was one of the staples that I missed getting in the winter.
What zone are you in ?
@@suzannehegarty350 zone 7a if that helps!
@@katthefarmer thank you. I’m in zone 5
I have terrible luck in keeping them from rotting
Really useful stuff and well presented, many thanks
Amazing, that 8 month old carrot is fresh as a daisy! I've never had much confidence or success with traditional storage methods, so I tend to par boil and freeze instead, which is a pity becuse it must be nice to store the whole veg!
Great video with info I have never come across before. The 2% slope with can on uphill endwall. Was great. Been trying to find info on natural ventilation with no success Thanks for The knowledge
Thanks so much! This frigging algorithm can read my mind! I was just thinking about and wondering how to preserve carrots and up pops your video in my feed! You are very photogenic and obviously have a lot of knowledge to share. You should have many more clicks than you do. Hopefully it will take off!!! I'm going to check out the rest! God Bless!
Here watching and Learning ❤

💯 MARKS. Very useful information, Thanks a lot. You visit Indian site carrot halwa, crush the carrot and cook in milk,add crush walnut and sugar. Children will love it during winter. You can keep for several days during winter. It's a sweet pudding, very healthy. Jay bharat.
I have almost same slope as yours. How did you connect the corrugated metal to baseboard?
Hi Nanette good question. I loosened the brackets that hold the baseboard up two at a time and was able to slip it up behind about an inch and pinch it in there a bit. I secured with a few self tapping screws and the bottom edge is just buried. Let me know if you need a closeup photo or if that makes sense.
Yes, picture please.
Hmm, I took some photos but can’t post them here 🤷♀️
Can i buying this seeds?
I can barely hear, would love to understand you better.
This was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for making the video!
Awesome!
I live in Meadows of Dan. So, hello neighbor
Hi Neighbor! Hope to cross paths some day!
Kat, excellent report, thank you for you education! I am wondering what variety of Belgian Endive you used and if you are still planning on trying some Tardivo this winter? Our new BINGO variety is so much better than the old TOTEM. I hope you can give it a try and we would be happy to send you sample if you are still doing B.E. this year
I'd consider sneaking it in for another attempt! This was mostly totem and the variety from Seeds of Italy. Lets chat and see what you've got?
Great job❤
How many grams per plant do you get with mâche appx ?
about 500 grams conservatively
Nice green house on the slope .
Excellent video 🌱
Glad you liked it!
Yesss! Love your vids! Beginning to plant winter crops here in the southern hemisphere and am keen to try this!
Happy Growing! Update us on how it goes down south.
Shade cloth also to cut the heat!
You are the first farmer who has tunnel on a slope with perfect pitch. Well explained all the details.
Thank you! Yes, it still feels so pleasing to look at.
Love seeing the end results now I’m hungry ❤️🙏👨🌾
Yay, thats the desired outcome!
Well explained ❤️🙏👨🌾
nic video
I LOVE frisee in salads. Yours are beautiful! I haven't been able to find much information on growing it, so thank you for this video. I'm waiting for my seed order to arrive. Excited to try to grow this!
Hi there. Would you share a link for those green totes you use for carrots? Thanks.

Your inspirational
This video was a lifesaver. Thank you so much!
I am SO glad to hear it
this is cool stuff
Super cool 👍 thanks for sharing. We use thermal direct but I like this idea a lot
Awesome!
Thank you for this!
Wow, I'm really excited to have found this, it is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you for creating this, I will definitely be purchasing the pre-filled sheet!
thanks :)
wow im always terrible at timing. ill check this out :)
thank you!
thank you :)
love it!
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
gorgeous salad! what do you have in there other than the endives?!
Oh Thanks! I think that had some spinach, endive, tardivo, dill in there. Cold hardy greens have so much good flavor!
This is so comprehensive and thoughtful and generous of you! As a beginning, small scale farmer I cannot say enough how much I appreciate the info!!
I'm delighted it can be of assistance to you! Happy growing!
How is it working 2 years later? Do you have an update video?
going strong, no update video yet... but if there is any specific questions I am happy to answer them! I did have to replace the plastic in the first season because of a BEAR (boo!) and I did add a stronger exhaust fan at the beginning of this season as well as automatic overhead watering which I have really been loving.
Great vid, thanks for the tips. I think too many people rely on grocery stores. Onions can similarly store for months but without refrigeration.
What temperature do you set your Cool bot during the warm outside temps? In the video you mentioned what you do when to cold outside not sure when warmer. Thx
I shoot for 34 degrees generally. In winter I trigger the heater to come on at 33, shut off at 39.
Great video! Tons of details and very easy to follow. Thx I just need a storage cooler now!
Super hot
Very cool first time i have seen this blanching technique Thanks for your video
Love it
