It would really be helpful if instead of talking about chores in terms of the month you do them you spoke in terms of seasons - i.e. instead of saying 'plant in April' say 'plant mid-spring' or 'plant 3rd to 4th week of spring'. Would help those of us in the Southern Hemisphere.
Wow, I am so amazed at RUclips's algorithm. I was just reading about sowing seeds early to get a better start in Minnesota. Thank you so much for doing all this work to advocate gardening at home. Your channel is astonishing. You are a great creator and host. I'll adjust the timing for my zone (5) b/c I just googled what zone Ohio is in. Zone 6.
Another tip for those that may want fresh greens when you don’t have a place in the house or a green house. I bought carts with a top and bottom shelf that are on wheels. I place my beloved plants that I don’t want to lose over winter in pots (the ones I know will for sure freeze) and place the pots on the carts. I roll these carts in and out of my storage area daily so they can have sun in winter. I grow spinach, Swiss chard, onions, lettuce, parsley, etc as well on these carts. It is so refreshing to be able to go to my carts in winter, select some greens, go in and cook a Spanish omelette, etc. I never have to buy any of that during the winter now. Then in the summer, no more rolling the carts in and out. But really, it was very easy to roll them in and out and it gave me way more joy knowing I had fresh food all year.
Watch the dandelion flower: when green plant appears plant spinach; when yellow dandelion flowers appear plant potatoes; when the white puff ball appears plant tomatoes; and when the white puff ball goes bald plant peppers.
So timely! Although I feel behind on a few things, I’m on track for most of it. I watched twice just to be sure and took a page of notes. Amazing how this info flies out of my head from one season to the next 😂 Thanks so much for this helpful video!
I got to the part where you said don't plant spinach after March, paused, and ran outside to plant some. Radishes are up, got them to germinate on one of those cold days last week (I'm in NKY near Cincy), lettuce same, using little plastic row covers. I've learned so much from your channel, just wanted to say thanks!
A few weeks behind on my cool crop plantings but nature will take good care for me… just happy to have dirty hands and the ability to be out in the sun! Happy growing everyone!!
In October I tossed a few spinach seeds in my southern exposure garden (Zone 6a) Near Cincinnati. I've been happily harvesting green spinach leaves almost all winter. They survived the snow and the cold. They have done well under a plastic cake box top. On March 1st I planted lettuce, radishes (big ones), and spinach. I cover them at night and on cold days. So far all have sprouted. My grocery store leek that I stuck in the ground in October is doing nicely. The free rutabaga seeds grew and were left uncovered, but they are growing well. I should have covered them on some very cold nights. I felt guilty and they would be better if I had the foresight to do so.
Good point on fabric versus plastic. 👍 We are about a month ahead for anyone reading. One thing you can do for direct sow crops, and assuming you planted by spacing without planning to thin later, is to re-seed any gaps. I find that more efficient than planting a long row and then thinning later. But it does depend on how much you are growing, too. I think it would be too time consuming to plant by spacing if you were doing long rows of a lot of crops. Good show, Jenna. Thanks. 👍
I typically space my plants so I don't have to thin them and as you suggest just fill in the gaps or just as likely, remain happy with what did come up. It's just me I am feeding anyway. Good advice. 😀
Hello fellow Ohio Gardener! I've been growing in my tiny yard for the last five years or so in Dayton and am working on building a community garden in Downtown Dayton as well! I just have radish, carrot, spinach, and kale out now. Tons of peppers and tomatoes inside with just their initial leaves. Thanks for the inspiration!
That is great to hear, Zac! Are you working with the 5 Rivers Metroparks system of community gardens in the Dayton area by chance or is this something separate?
@@GrowfullywithJenna something separate but those gardens are pretty great! We're building 4x4x2 raised beds in Burns-Jackson Park, the city gave us room for about 70 of those beds with 3 foot walkways. We also recently got a mini grant for a good bit of the materials too! If you're ever driving on 35, you can see the beds and our huge woodchip pile on the south side just before the Keowee St. Exit.
Hi Jenna! I live in Zone 6 in Ky and I've learned a lot from you. My garden will be a lot more productive this year. Thanks and keep up the good work :)
Your love of growing crops is apparent!! Always looking to see others opinion of early planting. I'm in Methuen,MA so it's challenging & often a gamble. thanks. good content. Clear,valid,concise🎉🎉
It’s nice to have such clear and concise advice 😊!! I really appreciate your videos. Tbh cant stand to watch some of these rambling garden RUclipsrs anymore (*cough cough* MI gardener) 😅😜😬
Hi Jenna, Your videos are so much more informative for me than all the rest. I live in northern cuyahoga county near lorain county. Your advice and insights are truly a game changer. Please keep up the awsome teachings. I did not really know much about planting cold crops so early. I did not think it could be effectively done with our half year of cold weather. Thanks for the info.😊
As ALWAYS……another informative video. Look at that sweet baby boy! I have 2 grandsons (4&6)that are eager to learn gardening, and it makes me so proud. This was great info since yesterday was in the 60’s, and today it’s raining snowing and 38 degrees in MI zone 6B
You are a dream!! I’ve been gardening for more than 30 years but mostly landscaping. I love growing vegetables and my husband and I are learning new things every day here in zone 8a NC. Thank you for all the amazing information you have amassed!!!
I'm glad I found this video! I'm in Kansas (6b) and am planting my first vegetable garden. I have no idea what I'm doing, yet. After watching this video, I am heading outside to plant radishes, carrots, lettuce, beets, parsley, and cilantro today, all from seed. THANK YOU for this video!!! SUBSCRIBED
Thank You for this video! Great content. I plan to listen a second time. I'm in W. TN, zone 8a. I love Ohio! It's too hot here. I love your little digging tool. Wish I could sit on my knees like that.
I am Michigan, 5b. I am setting out my planted root pouches today, only in in low 40s at night, rain coming in tommorow and Wednesday. My garlic was planted late fall and will be put outside now, same with blueberries planted in pots. Thanks for the great tips. Planting my peas and carrots this week.
Husband says to me last week..." Don't ya think it's a bit early to be starting seeds? Still have a couple months." 😂🤣 and we've been married 24 years and he says this every year.🤪 I swear he just likes getting me going, because I take over his library and turn into a lit grow room! Regret nothing. Ha, ha, husband!😅 Ty for the upload ❤
Hi guys (the lovely little lad, too!), am lóving your vibe and the getting dirty with Mother Earth. Btw for pinning down fleece i use pegs like yours at the corners, but a single-leg peg-with-a-curl-at-the-top along ends and lengths. Plus sometimes canes between them to relieve wind pressure on the peg points. I allow a few of the kales to go to seed and self-sow; many seedlings 8" high by mid March, then transplant if in awkward place. Corn salad (lambs' lettuce) and winter purslane my favourite over-winter veggies. Arugula not quite so happy over winter but nice when it is. 🙏🏽 🌳🕊💚 🌱🌱🌱
I am so glad I found your channel, Jenna! I’m outside of Pittsburgh and your videos are perfect for my zone and my clay soil! I also love your humor! Thanks for all of the great help in making my garden a success!
I leave some of my carrots to grow through the second year and you will get tons of seeds. One carrot can produce quite a bit of seed. I did this the first year I ever planted carrots and now I never have to seed / plant them. They seed themselves. But if you live where there is Queen Anne’s Lace or Poison Hemlock, you may want to gather the seed and plant yourself on year three. Watch for cross pollination as well. I don’t live where these plants are so, it is very easy for me. Planted them once and now every year, I can harvest carrots without having to plant them. Love that! And they make beautiful while flowers for my neighbor’s bees.
I was surprised when my boys told me that it had been in the 60s in Ohio. We are barely in the 40s here and our nights are in the 20s. Yet I have been looking at these onion starts I have grown figuring that soon they should be going in the ground. Just seeing the picture of your onion starts made me understand how big they need to be. In that I am on track. I'm thinking of giving it another week or so however. I smiled when you showed that clip of your children searching for potatoes. That is probably my biggest reason for growing them, children love to discover them waiting for them under the soil. It was a pleasure as always listening to your good advice. Another gardening season is upon us!
Yep- 60 a few days ago and a low of 20 in a few nights... it's all over the place. I'm surprised it's so chilly in your neck of the woods! And yes- the potatoes are always such fun with the kiddos!!
2 weeks and its been in the 70s here. I finally planted my onion starts today. Yeah I know... its been crazy around here. But apple trees are in and I am about to plant grapes. Strawberries will go in tomorrow. 😀
What a wealth of info on this video! I'm gonna watch it again when I have some free time and take notes. I've given up on spinach, but I see now I've been planting way too late. I LOVE spinach but don't want the chemicals from the store boughts
@@GrowfullywithJenna The veg garden plan is full, but I'm going to plant some in the flower beds...may add a little much needed green color balance as well!
Super helpful! My zone was just changed from 5a to 6a! Such a huge difference… so many more options. I am really heat sensitive myself, so gardening early in the year is much better.
When I cover my stuff with clear plastic at night, I figure 70 degrees is the border temp to keep it on during the day. If it is sunny and over 70 degrees I ventilate so the plants don't get cooked, under 70 degrees and sunny, I leave it on, and don't ventilate. Although if it is 50 degrees and sunny, the plants grow like crazy under clear plastic.
@@sometimessnarky1642 I think it's the amount or the intensity of sunrays because sunshine can be pretty intense here to where you feel your skin prickling even during winter. The plastic might even concentrate the sunrays kind of like lenses especially if water drops have formed on it. Don't think it's the altitude; I'm only at about 1,200ft.
So much great info! Here in Boise we were having decent weather with nights above freezing but then suddenly dipped to the low 20’s. My lettuce is small like your seedlings in your video but established from last fall (it was covered all winter) and it survived our 21 degree just last night unprotected. I was amazed! Your cold tolerant list of veggies gives me ideas for our winter garden this next year. Thanks Jenna!
wow it's great to know that those plants which is most of what I'm planting in the fall and growing through the winter are so frosty. it only gets down into the20s maybe twice per year where I live in central Californiaand this helps me rest assured that most of my plans would be fine without a cover.
So happy to find your videos. I'm also in Ohio 😊. I'm going outside right after work today to direct-sow some spinach and collards.😊. Thank you for your time and effort with these videos.
I just put in onions, shallots, and potatoes, just have some raking to do before the carrot bed is ready. My purple kohlrabi is going crazy already. Northeast Ohio has some wild weather lol fingers crossed
Where did you find the plastic cloche you show at 3:06. It would be perfect in my raised beds and looks efficient and small enough to store when not in use. The hint to germinate the peas before planting is a wonderful idea. I have done this with with pepper seeds in chamomile tea before, but never with peas. I will try it this season and hopefully my early spring crop will grow and produce faster with less rotting seeds.
I planted pea plants, broccoli and cabbage a week ago in my raised bed here in Ohio. Covered them with row cover to keep the deer and rabbits out and they are doing great! Planting onions and remaining brassicas today! THanks for your videos Jenna! Keep em coming!!
I love it that gardening is more important than fingernails, they do clean better with a yummy in my tummy, that was Mom's saying, to this day we all garden gloveless.
Wonder if you would consider popping Celsius conversions on the screen when you mention temperatures in F. This is an awesome informative video. Thanks so much for making this quality material.
So glad I found your videos! So very helpful and great information. Thank you. Gardening can feel overwhelming to me and there is so much to learn and I don't like wasting seeds or time because I don't know what works.
Ditto from MI! "Before your last frost" applies to most anywhere. Those folks living nearly naked in their backyard beach right now probably aren't looking for this content anyway.
In the Florida panhandle, already have catterpillers on my Tomato plants 😢. I did a winter crop this year and grew purple Cauliflower which got frozen in the Christmas freeze here 17 degrees farenheit. My Brussels made it and still going. May have to check out Bright Cellars cause I'm having a glass of wine right now😅
Hi Jenna, From an nice winter/spring with a warm sun shining and bare soil, yesterday we got 15 cm of snow!! Just before though I sowed some lettuce in a couple of hanging baskets. Greetings from Sweden/Stockholm, zone 6a/b.
Zone 6b KY/OH love using the plastic low tunnels. I’ll keep it on 3/4 of the way or open the ends to provide ventilation and prevent temp heat extremes
Adding to the conversation. I so appreciate Jenna's advice. My thoughts are about all the variability. There is Zone and temperature. Where I live, while I think Zone, Temperature and maybe even rainfall is adequately considered. I think all the planting time videos and my personal experience suggest that the variable of Sunshine needs more consideration as I live in something similar to the London fog.
Thank you for the knowledge transfer. Your videos our always full of very usefull gardening information that is clearly presented. Love your videos Jenna.
Thanks for the temperature guide. I'm from South Dakota and am still waiting for the near record snowfall to melt. We are starting to see some bare ground so there is hope!
My heart sank the moment you said BAM! Lol! Interesting you said you generally grow parsnips as a Fall crop. One year my parsnips went to seeds and self sowed the following spring. So last year I broadcasted the remaining parsnip seeds in October, they germinated well by January 8th and are showing true leaves in March. Never heard of anyone else used parsnip as Spring cover crop but they do rot just like daikon radish. Lots of great information, Jenna. Good video!
Hi Jenna in your video clip I saw a long narrow clear plastic mini greenhouse. I looked in the description but didn’t see a link. Could you please send me a link to where I can find that product thanks.
This is where I got mine: www.gurneys.com/product/growaway-row-covers but they've been out of stock for a while. I'm thinking you could probably construct something similar with the humidity domes that come on seed starting trays.
Fantastic video, thank you so much. We live in Alberta Canada and our summers have been getting warmer as well so wanted to know more about this. Appreciate you putting this together.
Thanks a lot. Now I feel like I'm even further behind than I already know that I am. As a Florida guy now living in zone 5 Wisconsin, it's tough for me to get out there and transplant / plant seeds in a garden with my knees in snow. I just couldn't do it this year.
Another Ohio gardener!!! Subscribed. I'm so tired of hearing how to grow a garden in California and Florida lol Great videos and channel, thank you for the great content!
Upstate NY gardener near lake ontario-micro climate 6a- finally found someone with same frost dates! It is so great to have someone to follow for spring planting advice. ❤
Love Love Love your videos. I am in Massachusetts, lots of ups and down with the weather here also. I have Spinach, beets, Kale and Bok Choi growing at home. I will direct plant some of all of those in the garden this week. Our average last Frost date is also the 1st to 2nd week of may
I love in Michigan and really appreciate your content. It’s so hard to find zone 6a content. Would love more on seeds you can start indoors! Off topic, but where did you get your overalls?! I love them!!!
Great to hear from a neighbor to the North!! I got my overalls here: www.rei.com/product/158076/rei-co-op-trailsmith-overalls-womens but it doesn't look like they have this brown-ish color anymore.
Lol it’s my church. Pop in the earbuds put on my music or a good book…… and work my way thru the high tunnel stop midway at my seedling hut keep on keeping on til I get to the back where my hammock awaits me……but if my husband kids or grandkids ask ……I’m working lol
Haha I have no time planning. I started everything from tomatoes and peppers to lettuce and carrots february 21st and the first of March. Funny. I'm eager to get out. I am still building my garden all over. So hopefully in a week or 2 I'm ready to plant in my new raised beds. Super excited. Cutting some big trees down this year too for more sun.
2nd year giving this a go in CT and this past weekend planted carrots, onion, broccoli, cabbage, chard and corn from seed. Nice to have the reassurance that I read and interpreted the seed packets correctly!
Glad to hear you're one your second year of gardening, Chris- that's awesome! And what a great assortment of veggies! One thing I wanted to double check on though- are you planting corn now or corn salad? Corn can't be planted out until after the danger of your last spring frost. I just didn't want you to be disappointed!
@@GrowfullywithJenna thanks for the encouragement! This is actual corn, the heirloom seed packet for these two varieties said to plant one to two weeks before last frost so I guess we'll wait and see haha.
@@GrowfullywithJenna so this morning I noticed some early stalks coming up! So far the Bloody Butcher has a bit more growth than Damaun KS Sweet but both have growth. We even had a couple of nights in the mid 20s since planting but no snow.
Ive grown well planting and protecting before last frost before leaves grow on trees . Spots get full sun until that happens, and sime flower before then too, those do fine after leaves grow and get enough dappled full sun as sun crosses over. I noticed aloot of produce grow under their own leaves.. in shade, so i experimentd with that along the paths and in the little hollars through the woods behind me.

Watch the dandelion flower: when green plant appears plant spinach; when yellow dandelion flowers appear plant potatoes; when the white puff ball appears plant tomatoes; and when the white puff ball goes bald plant peppers.

I don’t live where these plants are so, it is very easy for me. Planted them once and now every year, I can harvest carrots without having to plant them. Love that! And they make beautiful while flowers for my neighbor’s bees.
Thanks for the tips! We have large populations of both of those plants here, so I'd have to be careful!
I was surprised when my boys told me that it had been in the 60s in Ohio. We are barely in the 40s here and our nights are in the 20s. Yet I have been looking at these onion starts I have grown figuring that soon they should be going in the ground. Just seeing the picture of your onion starts made me understand how big they need to be. In that I am on track. I'm thinking of giving it another week or so however.
I smiled when you showed that clip of your children searching for potatoes. That is probably my biggest reason for growing them, children love to discover them waiting for them under the soil.
It was a pleasure as always listening to your good advice. Another gardening season is upon us!
Yep- 60 a few days ago and a low of 20 in a few nights... it's all over the place. I'm surprised it's so chilly in your neck of the woods!
And yes- the potatoes are always such fun with the kiddos!!
2 weeks and its been in the 70s here. I finally planted my onion starts today. Yeah I know... its been crazy around here. But apple trees are in and I am about to plant grapes. Strawberries will go in tomorrow. 😀
Very happy that I have found your channel. Every bit is informative and helpful. Keep up the good work!
Glad to hear it!
Awesome!! Awesome!! Thank you for this valuable info! I live in Maine so a lot of these principles apply to us. Fantastic video!!
Glad it was helpful!
You are a wealth of information. Thank you!
Glad to help!
What a wealth of info on this video! I'm gonna watch it again when I have some free time and take notes. I've given up on spinach, but I see now I've been planting way too late. I LOVE spinach but don't want the chemicals from the store boughts
I hope you give spinach another try!
@@GrowfullywithJenna The veg garden plan is full, but I'm going to plant some in the flower beds...may add a little much needed green color balance as well!
Super helpful! My zone was just changed from 5a to 6a! Such a huge difference… so many more options. I am really heat sensitive myself, so gardening early in the year is much better.
Great video once again. Thanks Jenna.
When I cover my stuff with clear plastic at night, I figure 70 degrees is the border temp to keep it on during the day. If it is sunny and over 70 degrees I ventilate so the plants don't get cooked, under 70 degrees and sunny, I leave it on, and don't ventilate. Although if it is 50 degrees and sunny, the plants grow like crazy under clear plastic.
Great advice, Don! I used to aim for 60/65- but it's good to know they don't fry at 70!
Mine got burned at lower 60s in KS.
@@andreamortimer2610I'm betting it has something to do with either the amount of sun or the altitude.
@@sometimessnarky1642
I think it's the amount or the intensity of sunrays because sunshine can be pretty intense here to where you feel your skin prickling even during winter. The plastic might even concentrate the sunrays kind of like lenses especially if water drops have formed on it.
Don't think it's the altitude; I'm only at about 1,200ft.
So much great info! Here in Boise we were having decent weather with nights above freezing but then suddenly dipped to the low 20’s. My lettuce is small like your seedlings in your video but established from last fall (it was covered all winter) and it survived our 21 degree just last night unprotected. I was amazed! Your cold tolerant list of veggies gives me ideas for our winter garden this next year. Thanks Jenna!
I'm glad to hear your lettuce toughed it out!
wow it's great to know that those plants which is most of what I'm planting in the fall and growing through the winter are so frosty. it only gets down into the20s maybe twice per year where I live in central Californiaand this helps me rest assured that most of my plans would be fine without a cover.
So happy to find your videos. I'm also in Ohio 😊. I'm going outside right after work today to direct-sow some spinach and collards.😊. Thank you for your time and effort with these videos.
Yay!! That's what I like to hear. Happy planting!
I just put in onions, shallots, and potatoes, just have some raking to do before the carrot bed is ready. My purple kohlrabi is going crazy already. Northeast Ohio has some wild weather lol fingers crossed
Sounds awesome! Glad you've got kohlrabi in the mix!
Where did you find the plastic cloche you show at 3:06. It would be perfect in my raised beds and looks efficient and small enough to store when not in use.
The hint to germinate the peas before planting is a wonderful idea. I have done this with with pepper seeds in chamomile tea before, but never with peas. I will try it this season and hopefully my early spring crop will grow and produce faster with less rotting seeds.
I got it here: www.gurneys.com/product/growaway-row-covers unfortunately it appears to be out of stock now.
I planted pea plants, broccoli and cabbage a week ago in my raised bed here in Ohio. Covered them with row cover to keep the deer and rabbits out and they are doing great! Planting onions and remaining brassicas today! THanks for your videos Jenna! Keep em coming!!
Glad to hear it!
I love it that gardening is more important than fingernails, they do clean better with a yummy in my tummy, that was Mom's saying, to this day we all garden gloveless.
😀
Wonder if you would consider popping Celsius conversions on the screen when you mention temperatures in F. This is an awesome informative video. Thanks so much for making this quality material.
I will try to remember to do that next time!
Exciting info bout lettuce and taters!
💚
salut a toi et merci pour ce partage👋 👍👍
bonne continuation a bientôt
Chico 🙏🙏
Heureux de partager
@@GrowfullywithJenna 👍ok je m'abonne
timing too, having the time to plant EVERYING at once can be spread over a couple weekends
Very true!
So glad I found your videos! So very helpful and great information. Thank you. Gardening can feel overwhelming to me and there is so much to learn and I don't like wasting seeds or time because I don't know what works.
I'm glad you find the videos helpful!! Hope you have a great gardening season this year!
this channel is faaaaantastic Thanks Jenna!
Thank you!
Your channel is so good! Even though I live in northern europe I can relate to your content.
Thank you so much!
Ditto from MI! "Before your last frost" applies to most anywhere. Those folks living nearly naked in their backyard beach right now probably aren't looking for this content anyway.
In the Florida panhandle, already have catterpillers on my Tomato plants 😢. I did a winter crop this year and grew purple Cauliflower which got frozen in the Christmas freeze here 17 degrees farenheit. My Brussels made it and still going. May have to check out Bright Cellars cause I'm having a glass of wine right now😅
Oh goodness! I'm not ready to think about tomato pests yet-- sorry to hear you're dealing with them!
Enjoy that glass of wine!
Hi Jenna,
From an nice winter/spring with a warm sun shining and bare soil, yesterday we got 15 cm of snow!! Just before though I sowed some lettuce in a couple of hanging baskets. Greetings from Sweden/Stockholm, zone 6a/b.
Oh my goodness! Stay warm!
Fantastic information, thank you! ❤
Clear, concise and informative. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thanks for watching!
Zone 6b KY/OH love using the plastic low tunnels. I’ll keep it on 3/4 of the way or open the ends to provide ventilation and prevent temp heat extremes
Great tip!
Thank you, Jenna!
You're welcome!
Thanks Jenna. It’s still too cold here in nw Nevada desert to put anything out 😔. I have learned to be patient lol. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Patience is a virtue when it comes to gardening!
@@GrowfullywithJenna
Isn’t that the truth 😉. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Thank you so much for this channel.
Welcome!
Thank you this was very informative and helpful
Thank you for reminding me to get my carrots in this week!!!
Happy planting!
Adding to the conversation. I so appreciate Jenna's advice. My thoughts are about all the variability. There is Zone and temperature. Where I live, while I think Zone, Temperature and maybe even rainfall is adequately considered. I think all the planting time videos and my personal experience suggest that the variable of Sunshine needs more consideration as I live in something similar to the London fog.
Thank you for the knowledge transfer. Your videos our always full of very usefull gardening information that is clearly presented. Love your videos Jenna.
So nice to hear this- thank you!
Thanks for the temperature guide. I'm from South Dakota and am still waiting for the near record snowfall to melt. We are starting to see some bare ground so there is hope!
Oh my goodness- I hope that snow melts soon for you!
My heart sank the moment you said BAM! Lol! Interesting you said you generally grow parsnips as a Fall crop. One year my parsnips went to seeds and self sowed the following spring. So last year I broadcasted the remaining parsnip seeds in October, they germinated well by January 8th and are showing true leaves in March. Never heard of anyone else used parsnip as Spring cover crop but they do rot just like daikon radish.
Lots of great information, Jenna. Good video!
Ooooh! I'll try this come fall! Thank you!
Oh wow! I've also never heard of anyone using it as a spring cover crop- innovative!
I'll have to try an October sow this fall!
Hi Jenna in your video clip I saw a long narrow clear plastic mini greenhouse. I looked in the description but didn’t see a link. Could you please send me a link to where I can find that product thanks.
This is where I got mine: www.gurneys.com/product/growaway-row-covers but they've been out of stock for a while. I'm thinking you could probably construct something similar with the humidity domes that come on seed starting trays.
@@GrowfullywithJenna I have some domes but when I saw that long tunnel mini greenhouse that looked perfect to stop squirrels from digging up the seeds
Fantastic video, thank you so much. We live in Alberta Canada and our summers have been getting warmer as well so wanted to know more about this. Appreciate you putting this together.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Very sound information.
You are welcome!
Thanks a lot. Now I feel like I'm even further behind than I already know that I am. As a Florida guy now living in zone 5 Wisconsin, it's tough for me to get out there and transplant / plant seeds in a garden with my knees in snow. I just couldn't do it this year.
I imagine that would be hard!!
Another Ohio gardener!!!
Subscribed. I'm so tired of hearing how to grow a garden in California and Florida lol
Great videos and channel, thank you for the great content!
Upstate NY gardener near lake ontario-micro climate 6a- finally found someone with same frost dates! It is so great to have someone to follow for spring planting advice. ❤
Always great to hear from gardeners close to me!!
@@GrowfullywithJenna Geneva on the lake Ohio, a stones throw from the shores of lake Erie
Love Love Love your videos. I am in Massachusetts, lots of ups and down with the weather here also. I have Spinach, beets, Kale and Bok Choi growing at home. I will direct plant some of all of those in the garden this week. Our average last Frost date is also the 1st to 2nd week of may
That is awesome!
I love in Michigan and really appreciate your content. It’s so hard to find zone 6a content. Would love more on seeds you can start indoors! Off topic, but where did you get your overalls?! I love them!!!
Great to hear from a neighbor to the North!!
I got my overalls here: www.rei.com/product/158076/rei-co-op-trailsmith-overalls-womens but it doesn't look like they have this brown-ish color anymore.
Hey bestie caught the video today after laying in my hammock in the high tunnel……. I mean working….. loved the video
Well now I need a high tunnel AND a hammock!!
Lol it’s my church. Pop in the earbuds put on my music or a good book…… and work my way thru the high tunnel stop midway at my seedling hut keep on keeping on til I get to the back where my hammock awaits me……but if my husband kids or grandkids ask ……I’m working lol
Haha I have no time planning. I started everything from tomatoes and peppers to lettuce and carrots february 21st and the first of March. Funny. I'm eager to get out. I am still building my garden all over. So hopefully in a week or 2 I'm ready to plant in my new raised beds. Super excited. Cutting some big trees down this year too for more sun.
Rewatching older videos 😊 you mention parsnips here…do you have a video dedicated to it? Or maybe just root crops?
Thanks Jenna! So helpful with understanding more of the temperatures that some veggies can handle. This is really great knowledge to share.
Happy to share!
I just found your Chanel and subscribed. Great information!
Awesome, thank you and welcome to my channel!
2nd year giving this a go in CT and this past weekend planted carrots, onion, broccoli, cabbage, chard and corn from seed. Nice to have the reassurance that I read and interpreted the seed packets correctly!
Glad to hear you're one your second year of gardening, Chris- that's awesome!
And what a great assortment of veggies!
One thing I wanted to double check on though- are you planting corn now or corn salad? Corn can't be planted out until after the danger of your last spring frost. I just didn't want you to be disappointed!
@@GrowfullywithJenna thanks for the encouragement! This is actual corn, the heirloom seed packet for these two varieties said to plant one to two weeks before last frost so I guess we'll wait and see haha.
@@chrischoiniere1406 oh cool! I’d love to hear how it does- would love to get a jump start on corn.
@@GrowfullywithJenna so this morning I noticed some early stalks coming up! So far the Bloody Butcher has a bit more growth than Damaun KS Sweet but both have growth. We even had a couple of nights in the mid 20s since planting but no snow.
@@chrischoiniere1406 ooh very cool! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been dragging my feet about hardening off my onions and cruciferous. I need to get to it!!
You'll be wanting to plant before you know it-- you'll want them ready to go!
Ive grown well planting and protecting before last frost before leaves grow on trees .
Spots get full sun until that happens, and sime flower before then too, those do fine after leaves grow and get enough dappled full sun as sun crosses over.
I noticed aloot of produce grow under their own leaves.. in shade, so i experimentd with that along the paths and in the little hollars through the woods behind me.
so sweet to see him planting! What is the white material you use when planting transplants into the ground? (early in video) LOVE IT
Do you mean right around 01:11? That is Gardens Alive's vegetable food. I use that on a lot of transplants.
