Jason's plan to convert the entire yard into a garden is about halfway done - some see what is in the middle of the garden.

The brassicas might really surprise you, plus, those are nice sized plants that will get well established before the days get really short. I am assuming you do not get the severe cold we get here in WI. Some type of a row cover might really help keep them going if it drops in the 20'sF.
Plant it, and they will come, damn cabbage butterflies!
Last winter I had some Brussel sprouts and spinach make it without even trying out in the garden. We did get a lot of snow that insulated everything from the really cold temps.
Nice soil prep! Stay Well my friends!!!
Why not at least try!! We dropped to -13 °C in Victoria, just made the Brussels taste better !!
Really looking forward to the differences the cover crops make!!
Cheers Brian

Weed free gardening sounds great, but they could have left you with some soil. Suprising how much money they would make from selling the soil as grass doesn't need many nutrients.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Makes for good business Terry, honestly I don't blame. Everybody here stays inside and has the lawns sprayed with all sorts of crazy chemicals.
Kinda depressing tbh 😔
Stay Awesome Terry

Hi Jason your in your element there with so much space to do all your different growing experiments good on you.
Looking forward to seeing if something survives lol and if there's a difference in the crop crops !!
Cheers you two !!
Jason and Colleen 🌱🤞👍🏴🇺🇸
Big thumbs up 👍 the cicadas and crickets are really singing there song!!!great gardening share.
They sure are, it my first time experiencing it, it's something else but better than dogs barking imo lol !!
Have a great weekend Susie 🌱🤞👍😊
Will there be lots of snow ⛄️ they may need a cover not for caterpillars 🐛 with sweaters on but for the weight of the snow. Boy the fun things for you kiddos is this is all so new. Have a superb week ❤ kiddos and stay safe 🇨🇦
We're going to let it ride and see Ali. I think the hear might kill wm first 😂😂
But ya there's definitely a good reason "all you guys" we watch use them.
I'd like to build a structure but the dam HOA !!
Have an awesome week, and Stay outta that traffic!!
Cheers the kiddos 🌱🤞👍😊🇨🇦🇺🇸
Yep, one advantage is the lack of weed seeds, although it is a shame they strip the good soil off - honestly this happens in this country too ! Great update and let’s see how things go 👍🏼👍🏼😁😁
Going on subsoil has "an advantage" that I can see so far lol !! It's too big of a commodity now days not to scrape all of.
These HOA'S are a monocultures, and not just talking about the grass 😂😂😂
Mmmmmerica !!
Cheers Hugh

Stay Awesome!!
Jason and Colleen 🌱🤞👍😊😊😊
Looking forward to seeing how the basilica experiment plays out!
Also we're really looking forward to the differences the cover crops make!!
Stay Awesome Lisa !
Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🇨🇦🇺🇸
Always great to experiment to see what works for you.
Exactly Tom, at worst we'll be able to make adjustments next year :) !!
Cheers my friend!!
Jason and Colleen 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛

Good Early Morning, Jason and Colleen, from Windermere, Florida 9b ❤
Yesterday was 93°F, felt like 103° on my AccuWeather app. But we are 1 day closer to Autumn 🍂
I think your determination on having a Fall Crop👍✋️👍
Stay awesome
❤Peggy❤
Thanks Peggy
Big temperature difference up here - highs of 70's, lows in the 50's !!!
Really looking forward to the differences the cover crops make!!
Have a great week!!
Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛🇺🇸😊
Great job Jason as long as the winter isn't a harsh one they should do great
Fingers crossed brother!!
Really looking forward to the differences the cover crops make!!
Have a great week!!
Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🏴🇺🇸🤜🤛
Looking forward to see how these plants grow this time of year for your. My family in Missouri said it was a warm day for them Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Patricia - we plan on trying some "Christmas potatoes" as the Brits do. It worked for us in Victoria, but it may be too cold here. We shall see! Cheers, Colleen
Good luck guys, i hope we both get our brassicas though the winter 🤞🤠👍💪
Really looking forward to the differences the cover crops make!!
If we get a mild winter they might make it.
Cheers Nick 🌱✒️👍🤜🤛🤠
It’s going to be so interesting to see what happens! I’m in Zone 5b and find that more can survive with mulching, deep planting, and /or protection from wind, and/or protection from too much soggy winter wetness, than a hardiness zone indicates. I’m growing bulbs, corms, and tubers for flowers, but most Zone 7 gladiolus come back for me, and dahlias with a good black tarp over them will often do the same. With your brassicas - have you thought about putting a temporary cold frame over a few? Like, putting some cinder blocks down around a couple and laying an old junked window on top? Just cuz you guys are wonderfully nuts? 😁😎
We're in 5b too, to be honest, not all growing zones are created equal I think !!
Great tips, Tulips !!!
But I'm worried about the HOA overloads, lol !!
We had brassicas survive no problem in Canada, but we lived in 9b if you can believe it !!
Cheers J&C 🌱👍🤜🤛🤞😊😊😊
Looking forward to how the results next spring, might be a little competition there with the mix. Vetch for the win with a follow up crop
The sun and the moths are hammering them atm Mike but we'll see how it goes but looking like brassicas definitely need both types of protection for fall plantings :)
Cover crops coming in, maybe too well lol
Cheers Mike 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛🇺🇸🏴
i love your shovel jason 😅🤭🤭🤭
😂😂😂 adorable Ram !!
Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛
@@clivesconundrumgarden 🤭🤜🤛🤗🤗🤗
Have you ever tried to mix equal parts bokashi and soil or compost before putting in the trench? With the mulch whatever weeds do pop up, they should be pretty easy to remove. Good luck on your latest overwintering experiment. 😁
That's a good idea, especially compost!! Wish I had some lol but ya anything with some carbon and other than clay !!
Cheers Rick 🌱🤞🤜🤛🤞🤞🤞
I don't know much about your growing zone there but I hope it works out great!
Pretty interesting so far. They getting hamnered by the heat and moths lol, gonna let it be and see :)
Cheers Andrea !!
Jason and Colleen 🌱🤞👍😊
👍👍👍
Thanks Michael!!
Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛
Best of luck with your brassicas. They are good size plants now so would do fine in your climate at this time, no? Are they quick growing varieties? That hairy vetch is all over my property and pops up unwanted in my beds. Cant imagine planting it.😅🤣
Ya vetch can be invasive, it just did so well converting the soil in Victoria.
If it a "normal" winter they'll probably be killed off but if it mild.... who knows 🤞🤞🤞
Cheers Greta 🌱👍🤜🤛🤞
Netting, definitely netting and make it strong to hold the snow and 🙏🤞they should be fine, they will probably grow slowly but surely.. good luck and I hope you give the pesky farmers a run for there money..🤣😂🤣😂🐮🐮🐮
Let's gooooo Manda !! We've left everything to "its own devices," and yes, they got hammered by pests, but we did get lots for ourselves:))))
Is it worth the Hassel? I don't know !!
You Stay Awesome!!
Cheers J&C 🌱🐮😊😊😊🤞👍🤜🤛
I hope it does well!
In Colorado ( it was zone 5b) I tried to over winter broccoli & kale two ways once. One in the bed ( it definitely died. It didn't stand a chance. But I also did some in containers in a cold frame style box & buried the containers deep in straw & put a frost blanket over them & they did super well.
I can't wait to see how this goes. Are ya'all like a 6a/6b there?
5B, that's amazing that they did so well. Stupid HOA here may prevent me from anything to obvious though!!
Note to self, never buy in a HOA community 😂😂😂
Really looking forward to the differences the cover crops make!!
Stay Awesome Rebecca!!
Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛😊
I like sprouts,
They make me fart,
And when I fart,
I'm happy!
Such a "pinnable" comment Steve 😂😂😂
Awesomeness!!
Cheers the Padawans 🤞👍🇨🇦🤜🔥🤛😂
@@clivesconundrumgarden Nothing like an old joke - and I know 'em all LOL
If the cover crops don’t over take the brassicas, you might put hoops and some 6mil plastic on them. Kale has worked for me wintering over that way. I’m NW of Chicago.
So is Steve from the Garden!!
Something I'd definitely try but nervous about the HOA overloads !! Might have to try this anyway Robin !!
Thanks for your thoughts on the covet crop to !!
First year do here has been interesting lol :)
Stay Awesome
Jason and Colleen 🌱🤞🤜🤛👍
@@clivesconundrumgarden It doesn’t look any jankier than those outdoor chair and table covers IMHO.
@robinmiller1783 very true. I just read an article of a lady paying $50 a day not to have grass in here garden in SC. Wtf !!! She getting laywers and financial help !!
We always sow too much stuff. I hope it grows well
😂😂 over sowing for under growing
Always Helen !! Fun to see what works and really looking forward to the differences the cover crops make!!
Have a great week!!
Jason and Colleen 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛🏴🇺🇸
@myrustygarden that's my new channel name 😂😂😂
Oh I wish you could send some of those brassica starts my way! Why did you wait so long to plant them, even as a winter cover crop?
~ Sandra
It's so hot down here, Sandra. They would've melted. Plus, we had no space until we could expand.
Days are full to the brim atm and squeezing in anything, let alone expanding is a challenge:)
Stay Awesome Sandra!!
Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🇨🇦🇺🇸😊
The brassicas will finish up by Nov. The cover crops might over take the brassicas before they reach maturity. Cabbage moths are a ban around here. I used insect screen over my fall broccoli to keep and the critters out.
Ya I have a feeling we're going to regret not adding insect netting. But this has been the summer of "no f's given" lol
With exception of C's beloved squash patch, she's spent an inordinate amount of time on bless, I'd just let it go 😂
I think I f'd up the cover crop but it'll be a good reference to adjust next year.
Great points Steve, as always!!
Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛
Didn’t take long for that butterfly to find them. Defiantly check your brassicas for eggs and caterpillars. Then get them netted.
I wouldn’t really call anything mulch unless it is at least an inch deep preferably two. Anything less is just a top dressing.
Dry grass mulch will suppress weeds it will also stop your seeds from germinating. Either wait till seeds have germinated then weed as needed and mulch around the young plants. Or I find easier start seeds in pots, then separate the mulch dig a hole in the soil to plant your new plant start.
How cold and for how long is the usual winter where you are.
Can get down to -20 but that rare, if we get lucky it might be much warmer than that.
At worst, we'll learn something!!
Good point about the mulch !! Just wanted to see what top dressing was most effective before scaling it up.
Btw we used you planting techniques:)))
Cheers and thanks Cats!!
Jason and Colleen 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛🏴🇺🇸
@@clivesconundrumgarden great you put water in the planting hole before your plants 💦🌱👍
Ok I make that -6 centigrade. Your brassicas should survive that temperature wise. They will even cope with some snow. Not sure how much though. If you could give them some hoops and cover with garden fleece that would also help. 🥦🥬
@catsmother4556 sorry, I actually already converted from Fahrenheit. But last year it only got down to -10ish C as the low.
Yes fleece would help but not sure the HOA would approve 😡😡😡
@@clivesconundrumgarden Mmmmmm. -10c is pushing it you may loose some if not all with temps that low. But they are in the ground now, nothing ventured nothing gained.
@@catsmother4556 exactly 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Thanks for all the tips !!
Do you put something in your bokashi to ferment it?and how long do you wait till you it in trench?just wondering if critters dont dig in😢.have a great weekend guys..
If it's done correctly, critters don't seem to bother it. That being said we don't put meat or oils in it !!
The Bokashi is the activator for fermentation. If you Google it should explain it better than me lol
But remember it needs to be done anaerobically, so no air gets involved in the process.
Lemme know if you need anything Faye :))))
Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🇨🇦🇺🇸😊
Those brassica plants looked supergood plug plants. Why was the farmers market person laughing at you? Are your winters warm? Even if you don't get as many weed seeds in your growing medium I would be tempted to use cardboard anyway as it would break down and add a little extra to your compost and also attract worms, I hope those brassicas do well and I hope you chased away that butterfly 🤣
It'll be fun to see Bethan !! If we get a mild winter, you never know, and always worth trying!!
Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍😊
I wanted to call out how mature you are to not giggle at hairy vetch. If you can do that you can overwinter brassica.. 😊👍🏼🪱
😂😂😂 I never considered that, I bet next time I do giggle.
At worst it'll be a good reference for next year. Summer of learning is an understatement Ann !!
Stay Awesome
