Best gardening RUclips channel! Very informative 🌱
@@plantboy-newvideoseverywee7610 Thanks!
Hi, Did you ordered the seeds from internet? If so could you send me a link please. I love your videos and they have useful information.
@@gabrielprodanovic Hi Gabriel! We order many of our seeds from rareseeds.com
OYR Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening thank you! Have a nice day.
I miss seeing you weekly man
Thanks! I hope to get back to a weekly schedule before spring.
Me, too!
Barkly Homestead s
Greens!!! We just hit our cold snap of -30Celsius 🇨🇦 so I get to sort seeds, order some new seeds, feed my indoor compost worms, plan the garden layout and take friend + family orders for seedlings. Thanks for the update.
Stay warm, Valerie! We're about to get our first real cold snap too.
We missed you. Welcome back!
Thanks Barbara! I'm going to try to get back to weekly videos before spring.
I grew siber frill kale this year. Learned of it through your videos. I love it's eye appeal, flavor and texture when added to salads.
I'm glad you like Siber Frill too, Joe!
I'm terribly jealous of such beautiful, fresh greens in mid January.
It's pleasing to see veggies thriving during winter -- life and a splash of color amidst the gray and gloom.
Having the winter garden really make the winter go by a lot faster.
Nothing like growing greens in winter.
I've been missing your videos! Can't wait for spring!
Thanks Krista! Spring will be here in no time.
Great music. I'm always impressed with how cold it habitually gets where you live, we haven't even reached your average low of this year, now it's around -5° C at night which we find rather cold ;-)
-5° C sounds downright balmy! I'm glad you like the music. I'll be releasing a new song on my music YT channel before the end of the month. (Paul will be joining me again on slide).
It has been a different winter. Here in SE Michigan, zone 6, we've just had what I consider to be only our 2nd real snowfall, something worth shoveling. I still had volunteer romaine lettuce starts in the ground in Dec., thriving nicely with just leaf litter for protection. Hope yesterday's snowfall helps to insulate them against single digit temps today & tomorrow. Of course, if they survive the winter, they may immediately bolt in the spring. Gardening is a just a series of annual experiments.
Yeah, this weekend's snow was only our second real snowfall too. Now comes the cold!
Great video, we use Agribon here in AZ too and God willing we are warming up after the past few weeks of frost, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Daniel!
Love winter greens
Tänk you for still going the videos on gardening! They inspire ny alot👌
My pleasure, Anette!
Thanks for the help Patrick. Pretty (more than usual) mild winter here in Southern California so far
You're welcome, Alan!
Nice update. It is sure a cold night up here in Eastern, Ontario.
Thanks! We're getting our first real winter weather now and over the next couple weeks. Stay warm!
Thank you , Patrick, i needed this type of motivation with all the snow load we just got. May i ask you to publish more frequently please? The gardening world id missing your quiet wisdom, And we really miss Oscar's antics!
Thanks! I'm hoping to get back to a weekly video schedule before spring.
Yay!
We've had similar results in Northern Tennessee.
I am glad to see one of your other interest in life (music) is making its way to YT.
Thanks Craig! I'll be uploading a new music video to my music YT channel before the end of the month. I'm trying write and record a new song every month.
Another great video Patrick. Between you and Charles Dowding, in England, who you turned me on to last year, gets me through the winter, until I can start planting my seeds, for my garden in the spring. I wish all gardeners could watch you and Charles videos to see how easy gardening can be, and stop digging, and just spread compost on the garden. Well Patrick, I’ll get off my soapbox for now. Have another great and productive year in the garden, or as I like to call my gardens, My Mancave. 🍆🥕🥦🥬🥒
Thanks John! That's very nice of you to say. It'll be time to start seeds for spring in no time!
orange tomato growing outside since christmas, now 2.5' tall letting one cluster fruit, pinching all others. zone 9.5
Wow!
Thanks for that. We have had a mild winter too but it’s changing in tandem with yours, it’s cold out there now! The cold will free us from a lot of pests and diseases, that’s the only positive thing I have to say about it!
Klaus
Yeah, winter is here with a vengeance now - making up for lost time. Stay warm!
Boy, does that look nice! Our winter here in 4a Minnesota has been mild to say the least but, it was in the -20's below not to far north from here last night. I suppose it was bound to happen. Oh well, the days are getting longer and the average daily temp is starting to rise. Woohoo! :-)
Thanks Mark! It certainly is nice to be past the winter solstice! Stay warm in zone 4a.
And.....links to more great harvesting tunes. Another perfect day😊
Thanks Jaynee!
We are having a much colder winter with heavier snow than normal here in 6a Kansas City area. Your winter salad garden is my goal!
You can definitely do it in 6a!
welcome back! missed you and Oscar!
Thanks Rose!
Stay warm Patrick! The winter garden looks great and Oscar is such a beautiful fur baby! 😀
Thanks!
Love to see the winter update! Always amazed what you can grow in winter up there! I havent heard of tatsoi before. Will look that one up.
Thanks Chari! Tatsoi is a very mild Asian mustard green. It's one of our favorites, and it's fairly cold hardy.
Nice to see you again Patrick! Im all set up to start some seeds in my basement tomorrow. I have ginger and turmeric sprouting already as i want to be ahead before spring arrives. I had good success with winter-sowing in jugs last year so im going to do that again as well, adding some tomatoes, eggplant and peppers to the experiment! Ill let you know how that goes. In the meantime, im watching the sun move slowly southward across the sky, even though it is 25 with blowing snow today. Tomorrow's forecast? 40 and sunny! Yay Arkansas!
Great to be back, Jill! Best wishes with your winter sowing experiments!
It has been staying in the upper 40's/low 50's in Tacoma with only the occasional hard frost, so definitely mild here so far, I have peas still producing (but the mildew is awful alas) and my broad beans, planted in the Fall, are attempting to flower---we usually get at least one snow fall in winter and Jan-March are the coldest months here usually, but I am going to play around by direct seeding some of the cold hardy crops like onions and peas under fleece and see what happens.
Yeah, you should be able to start onions and peas pretty early there. We start peas in mid-February under double cover. I wonder if growing under plastic would help with moisture related issues there?
I thought that with less than. 10 hrs of sunlight and most plants won't grow. That's why Feb 10 in my area we go above 10 hrs and things start coming back to life
Limited sun is definitely a major factor, but the combination of limited sun and extreme cold normally stops growth here in December.
Good point about daylight hours and plant growth. I think a lot of people don't realize you need more than warmth to grow most plants that have evolved this far north in our hemisphere. Good news for me, in my neck of the woods tomorrow we will reach 10:01of daylight. Let the growing season begin!!! Great job on the music BTW. You are a man of many talents.
Thanks James! We'll be hitting 10 hours of daylight soon too. I'm glad you like the music. I'll be releasing a new song on my music YT channel before the end of the month.
I can't wait for summer! Looking at all those greens has me daydreaming of my garden!
The fuzzy worms showed very little black in the Fall so I'm not surprise by our so far mild winter. The did show a lil black on each end. This is great mild weather for me to spread coffee grounds. I'm having (100) strawberries delivered from Nourse: Rutgers Scarlet and Yambu from the Netherlands. I am going to plant them in my compost bin, in the ground which faces East, and up my fence while planted in the ground if possible.
Best wishes with your strawberries!
@@OneYardRevolution Thank You and keep on keepin' on! The Urban Farmer did a video on how RUclips has changed their algorithm:-(
Happy New Year Patrick. No birds or cold weather to get those cabbage worms.
The cabbage worms aren't going to be too happy with the weather over the next couple weeks. Winter has arrived with a vengeance.
Your garden always looks so awesome. I’ve learned so much from your channel. This is the first year for me growing though the winter. So far everything has worked pretty good. I have some head lettuce that has got some mold lately. So I cut it out or took the whole plant. All and all it has work great so far. Thanks for all you tips and leading me down this path. Green house soon. Can’t wait. You’ll have to show us how you prepare your salads sometime. Have a great day..!!
Congratulations on your successful winter garden! I'm glad my videos have helped.
Lovely cat, it reminds me of zoro.
Such a beautiful sight! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks!
Amazing, so many beautiful mixed greens.
Thanks Annie!
Nice video Patrick 👍
Thanks!
I find your winter salads an inspiration, but I am concerned about how mild the Winters are becoming.
I guess we just have to adjust what and how we grow in the future if this continues - although I do feel we really need a good cold snap right now here in the Uk
Thanks! We're getting our first real cold snap over the next couple weeks. Those cabbage worms are definitely not going to like it.
Heads up! I think you have a deep-freeze coming! Love your vids! Thanks.
Thanks Ron! Yeah, it's brutal out there now.
The greens look great! Thanks for sharing!
😊
Your winter garden is still looking great. You also just reminded me that I have some greens I can harvest today. We are experiencing on and off wind gust of 22 mph and night time temperature will be lower 30s. No doubt the wind chill factor can affect some of greens as well. My husband will be out to reinforce the hoop house very soon:-)
Thanks! Enjoy your greens!
Thanks Patrick for a wealth of information you have given me my friend☺☺☺
Your welcome, Charlie!
Beautiful winter garden😍
Thanks!
It is indeed unusually warm this year, I saw my poor strawberry tricked into flowering already (outdoor container without cover, so quite unusual). Gonna be sad when the flower dies with the next frost.
Hi Christy! Winter returned with a vengeance here today. I hope you get plenty of strawberry flowers in the spring.
Patrick, I needed that video today. ~ Thanks, Mark
Thanks Mark!
Tatsoi growing for you and for us at the same time.... Wow it MUST be tough! It's growing here in Australia in summer. Forecast temperatures this week of 105 to 110F (40s C) and not dried up and crunchy. Shade sure is our friend this summer! Hope you continue with a good harvest!
Wow, I didn't know tatsoi would grow in heat like that. What a versatile plant!
@@OneYardRevolution it is in a wicking bed under tomatoes under dappled shade so it's got microclimate working for it but it is still pretty amazing that we can both be harvesting tatsoi in January!!!
as always a great video, I wish I could get my winter garden to look like yours. Keep those videos coming. Happy gardening
Where i live in ny its been mild winter, 1 more month to go hope feb is mild, so far so good....
Weather arrived here with a vengeance over the last couple days. Fortunately, we're getting some sunshine today, which will warm up the hoop house.
Welcome back, missed your posts! Really enjoy your videos once a week or so, whatever you have time for or feel a need to. Hope you continue posting for us on occasion. Hopefully, you enjoy it. I personally connect because I live in zone5 northwest Ohio. Thank You! :)
Thanks for watching! I hope to get back to weekly videos before spring.
Awesome video, I can't wait to get my new greenhouse set up next year. We've also had a great Winter until this weekend! (Maine) Good luck to you and your Winter crops!
Thanks! Best wishes with your greenhouse next year.
Looks beautiful Patrick! Thanks for sharing all your tips and tricks!
Thanks Mary!
The most effective green house I've used is a hoop house
I have been watching for awhile now there's always good content very enjoyable
Thanks!
This year was first time i tried a little winter garden process.. this is equalent of 5a climate where we stay. however by december everything was dead already 😋 as normally, there were no sunny days in october november and december, maybe all together 10hrs sun light in all those months together 😂 very short day light hours and totally cloudy days, i guess winter garden might just not work here.. 🤔
Greetings from finland, with about 3feet of snow 😋
Hi Tiariana! Yeah, winter gardening is definitely a challenge as far north as you are.
Can you create a video on how you water your garden, particularly during the winter? I can’t find one on your channel. Thanks for all you’re doing! Great information :)
Thanks! We don't water at all from December through mid-February, because plants don't need water during this period of cold temperatures. Outside of that time period, we water the hoop house with a watering can or garden hose. For the rest of the year, we water the garden with a garden hose. We don't have to water much, because we get quite a bit of rain. I hope this helps!
Love seeing your beautiful winter garden. Mine has
been fabulous here in 8a with no cover so far. I usually need one layer. So much of my success is thanks to your great videos. Today harvested cabbage, tree collards, carrots, parsley, celery, bok choy, 3 kinds of lettuce, leeks and beets! Your videos are inspiring, and it's been a great year, thanks, Patrick
Congratulations on your successful winter garden! I'm happy to hear my videos have helped.
I love your videos! You definitely inspired me and now I have some hoop houses of my own! I have a few videos posted on it so far as well.
thank you
I do not think I have ever seen you walk through your garden without Oscar leading the way.
Thanks Patrick.You really are a nurturer adapting to climate variations.This food is essential for all humans.
Thanks!
Looks amazing!
Thanks!
Lucky you! We have a bitter cold winter, even had -20 C in November :-P We also have a lot of snow, worst snow storm in a 100 years this week-end because it was so cold, abrasive don't work on the roads! Enjoy your greens, I envy you ;-)
Wow, that is cold Elyse! Winter has arrived here with a vengeance now, but it's not that cold. So far, all of our plants are still hanging in there.
Old man winter was tired thus far but he just woke.
-15 here and more sub zero on the way.
My winter crops have done well also.
My restaurants are so happy.
I'm happy to hear your winter crops are doing well. Winter is back with a vengeance here too.
Yay!!!! Love the music.
What are the varieties you grow again for winter? They look so tasty!
Thanks! I'll be posting another music video to my music YT channel before the end of the month. I'll try to put together a video that goes into more detail on the varieties we're growing.
Brrrr, my sister lives north of you in McHenry & told me the forecast for the next 10 days. Hope your double hoops can handle it!
Thanks Wendy! So far so good, but it gets even colder next week. I'll do an update if we get a sunny day this weekend.
your lettuce looks good enjoy your salad
Thanks Jackie!
-10 2days ago in ma. Come on spring!!
Yes, come on spring! We're looking at -16 next week.
Thanks for the video. Content is good as usual. Looking forward to your spring videos. I'm about to put in several raised beds in my backyard and a couple of fire pit ring beds in my front yard.
You're welcome! Best wishes with your new garden beds.
I am interested in how you store your vegetables and get them to last so long after harvest. Is this something you would consider doing a video on? (If you haven't done so previously)
Hi Emma! We eat most of our harvests fresh, but we do freeze some tomatoes, dry some peppers, and store sweet potatoes, winter squash, pumpkins, and garlic. These crops are all very easy to store.
I love your videos! The fact that you are in Chicago makes it even more awesome! I would love to have a food forest in my back yard (doesn't everyone). The problem is that I have never had an edible garden before aside from growing herbs in window boxes. My husband is concerned that whatever we grow will become contaminated by the many alley rats in our neighborhood. He might not want to partake in the whole process let alone eating anything we might grow. What do you do to prevent rodents getting into your garden. I know you have a cat and that might be enough but is there anything i can do considering I don't own a cat?
Thanks Angelica! I wouldn't worry about rats contaminating crops. We've never had a problem with them in our garden, and Oscar is in the house most of the time. One thing to keep in mind is that there are wild animals around all farms, including farms that grow food sold in grocery stores. Rodents can also get into areas where farm crops are stored, transported, and sold. The important thing is to wash crops before eating them, whether they come from the grocery store or the garden.
@@OneYardRevolution Thanks for the response.:-)
Those pesky cabbage worms!
Would love a quick update on whether or not your crops made it through this cold snap.
Will do!
Hope you can get extra heat for your greenhouse, you got brutal cold air coming.
Hi Elric! Yeah, we're looking at a high of -11 on Wednesday.
crops were looking great! new sub here :)
Thanks! Welcome to the channel.
Hello Patrick. How are you? Very nice video and even in the heart of winter !! Because Patrick does not understand everything, I want to ask if in the greenhouse you have an extra temperature or is the temperature of the plastic enough? Thanks. Good evening. 🇬🇷
Thanks Lamprine! We don't use any supplemental heat in the hoop house.
Awesome - I keep telling people anywhere to have hoop green houses, just like OYR Frugal ... and overwintering green salads more than they can keep up with and eat like a cow ....
Thanks John!
Was showing my husband how you have your green house, we have a green house but doesn't not have the wooden supports inside, learning process, question I do have is about what looks like insulation, the silver fabric, 1st, what is it exactly, 2nd, how has it helped, 3rd, are both sides silver, and 4th, with it being so high on the one side, how does it help
Hi! We're using this reflective bubble insulation on the north wall: amzn.to/2ATQisp It provides a little extra insulation on the north wall and reflects light from the south back into the hoop house. Both sides are silver. We have it from the ground to close to the top to maximize insulation and reflection. I hope this helps!
@@OneYardRevolution Thank You, yes it does, were trying to heat our green house naturally, enough for seedlings and a couple tomato plants, Thank You Again
Beautiful video as always Patrick! Here in Canada is -30c right now, so I'm trying out some hydroponics until I'll have my greenhouse...with cold frame inside...with smaller cold frame inside the cold frame...I'll figure it out lol
Thanks! Yeah, winter gardening is pretty challenging in most of Canada.
@@OneYardRevolution we need to keep pushing though, no? :) I was able to overwinter figs outdoor the past few years ( without burying it ) . Right now I'm trying to get them to actual fruit...who knows, maybe one day :)
I hope you don't have a hotter summer since you're having a mild winter. I do think we're seeing the weather change due to the solar minimum and the shift of the Earth. I guess we're all going to find out this summer.
👍👍😍😍
Your weather climate over there is very much like the Middlands UK.
Interesting. I didn't know it got that cold anywhere in the UK. Our average winter low is -23c to -26c.
@@OneYardRevolution I was wrong then lol. - 23 No way temps in London go down to about -5 and Scotland - 10. Lots of scare mongering about temps falling to -11 accross the UK next week. BBC love to be dramatic lol.
WOW that's awesome 😂
Thanks!
Thank you for your very informative, helpful videos. My question regarding nitrogen fixing legumes and their use in the home garden. My research seems to say that planting legumes to fix nitrogen into the soil is only beneficial if you incorporate the whole plant into the soil. How does that (and use of other cover crops) sync with the no-till gardening idea? Leaving the plant as mulch on top appaently releases the nitrogen into the air and thus makes is useless for the gardener, but digging it into the soil destroys bacteria and other beneficial soil life. To dig or not to dig cover crops?
I view nitrogen fixation by legumes as one part of a holistic system that provides our plants with all the nitrogen they need (without using any fertilizer). The amount of shared nitrogen isn't significant from the perspective of industrial agriculture, and doesn't meet all of the nitrogen requirements of neighboring plants, but it doesn't have to. Because it's just one part of a holistic system. Regarding mulch, though some nitrogen is lost, there's a net gain in nitrogen from organic mulches. I share more details in this video: ruclips.net/video/a6rNsWbWLhQ/видео.html
so Patick, your theory before was the lack of light was the primary inhibitor to growth. does this mean adding heat to the hoophouse could be a good investimet? or have you also had less cloudiness that is letting in more light?
Hi Charles! Both cold and lack of light are limiting factors, but it's the combination of the two that normally stops growth in December here. I don[t think it would be a good investment to heat our hoop house because we're already getting excellent results without supplemental heat.
I searched and did not find a video for watering during spring and summer months. Would love to see a video on watering. Also, do you use drip irrigation?
Hi Todd! I don't talk about watering much, because we're fortunate to get quite a bit of rain and don't have to water often. When we do water in spring, summer, and fall, we use a garden hose. We don't have to water the winter garden from December through mid-February because the plants don't need additional water at that time of year.
Hey Josh here in Northern a indiana 5b. Great video! Those tough cabbage worms lol. Can you tell me what winterizing you've done to your hoop house? I just built a cattle panel greenhouse this year 12x7x7. I'm planning on doing the north wall in reflective bubble like you did. Also the buckets for thermal mass. Anything else? Thanks
Hi Josh! The only other thing we did that you didn't mention was to add an extra layer of plastic insulation on the bottom half of the north wall. Of course, the double cover is essential for our zone, and you'll want to make your greenhouse as airtight as you can. Best wishes with your greenhouse!
Hello from Norway. How nice to see fresh greens in winter. Do you winter sow in the greenhouse for planting out in spring?
Hello Benni! Yes, we start spring planting under cover in February.
I’d definitely like to use this method do you water during the winter?
I really enjoy your videos. Where do you get your seeds? There are many varieties you mention that I do not find and I love a few well known online stores for heirlooms.
Thanks Lynette! We get a lot of our seeds from rareseeds.com
Wow! I actually shop from baker creek. They have the best variety. I assume you must have purchased the whole seed catalog. I guess i will start buying the book- i will look for your varieties when I order my seeds. Thank you! 👍
Are the buckets helping keep the hoop house warm?
Yes
How's the greenhouse plants holding up to the polar vortex?
Check out my new video. It just went live.
Oscar!
Where are you been.???
Hi Javier! I hope to get back to weekly videos before spring.
How do you deal with possible rodents getting in to keep warm?
Fortunately, we haven't had to deal with that problem yet.
Do you water the crops in winter?
We don't water from early December through mid-February. Normally, plants don't grow during this period. Even with the growth we're seeing this winter, we haven't watered because the soil stays pretty moist because of the humidity in the hoop house.
Patrick, are you on Bitchute?
Hi Steve! I'm not on Bitchute. I'll check it out.
OYR Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening It seems to automatically upload whatever you put up on RUclips.
It’s good to have backups.
