    Good morning Danny and Wanda! Before the freeze, I watched y’all cover all your plants, then covered my garden the same way. I picked as many greens as I could, and I pulled my green tomatoes (for salsa verde.) I’m proud and grateful to tell you that all of my cabbage, carrots, turnips, spinach, Brussels and kale made it through! My broccoli looks a little worse for wear, but I think we salvaged about 2/3 of it.
    Y’all are good teachers and a blessing to those of us who watch you. Thank you!

      I’m right there with this comment. I think that tomato plant that lived in the green house with the fern helped each other insulate compared to the ones that had nothing growing underneath. I live in Glynn county in Ga y’all have inspired me to keep my gardening journey going.

    North Idaho here... we bottomed at -20. The greenhouse held at 16 with no heat. Built plastic tent in over boxes and my greens held on well. This years experiment was boxes off the ground on stands with plastic all the way to floor ... I think it was successful.
    You are right on keeping the coverage close by... winter is just starting and more polar express will return. This is the year to test our endeavors to grow inside. I am waiting to hear how the big commercial grow houses farther north faired. Might be proof smaller is better.
    God helps those who help themselves. Merry Christmas Danny and Ms. Wanda.

    Water freezes and stays 32 degrees. So if roots are wet that’s as cold as they get. In dry ground or pots, if air temperature is below 32 the ground and roots will get colder like the air temperature. That’s why you water everything real good before a deep freeze.

    Good morning. Old carpet has been my best friend. If you turn the backside up you can use it for ground cover. I will be using it in my second greenhouse.( #1 has concrete pad). You can use it around beds ( mulch on top). I made a sitting area under my shade trees. I used a colored mulch and it looks great. I bordrred it with rocks. You can use it in a gravel driveway under fresh gravel. I had a client toss a bunch of new remnants out and i grabbed them up.😀 Most went into my attic on the floor for insulation. I have used it under the sink on the back wall as insulation too. I dont know why I felt like sharing this. It is a free renewable resource. Thank you Danny. God bless.

    Western Colorado here and covered in 4 inches of snow. Yesterday we decided to dig some carrots as with the snow it had warmed a bit. Low and behold our carrots snuggled in the deep earth we just as sweet and crisp as could be. Just another testament to never give up on something . I think I’ll go out and dig the leftover fall radishes to see what they yield.

    Danny, I live in Northern Ohio. When I worked at a local garden center, we always fully watered all the plants before covering them when a frost was expected. It really helps the plants fight the cold, believe it or not. All your brassicas would have done fine with a good watering beforehand. You will find them to be sweeter after a frost, as well.

    That tomato is amazing!
    11F was our bottom out excitement here. Everything I could cover, stayed covered for about a week, because it didn't get much above 40F the whole time. I also doubled the layers over some beds/plants, but heavy frost clothes mostly instead of all tarps. Have been trying to acquire a large collection of frost clothes because of the weather cycle we've been heading into last handful of years. Almost have enough now for everything to even get triple layers, next time if needed. Could be anytime now. lol
    Fuzzy kiwi's, young olives and non-adapted spinach got triple layers. Our lettuces, onions, all the assorted brassicas, out of season growing confused herbs & bulbs, heavy budding blueberries, etc, all got one to two layer, and sailed through. In amongst the single layers or blankets were also the carrots, broccoli heads, and garlic. Most everything did really well, even the edge nipped stuff (same as what I'm seeing on yours) bounced right back. Drooping stuff soldered on, but seemed weaker to pests in Jan/Feb.
    The one new banana however, was the casualty. Started out with triple layers trying to cover it without being right on the leaves. The winds pulled a section up and open during the worst night. Naturally right in the worst freeze path direction too. What should have been a dormant plant was also actively growing new leaves. Strawberries and kale just got heavily mulched with a fall leaf and straw mix, because I was out of even blankets to spare. Some of each got uncovered from wind, and didn't look that different from covered ones, two weeks later. Didn't cover the green onions, not even with mulch, and they got hit hardest I've ever seen. Mushy yuck all the way down, except the ones protected by building walls. At least the roots that make more are pumping out a ton of new ones already.
    Tart lemons, grapefruits, limes, aloe, fragile herbs and overwintering peppers did ok (peppers had to be cut back after), mulched and covered in the garage. Crammed up against the house wall and water heater. My guess was maybe 5 days with drying cold and no water didn't help those that ended up drooping. However, those five days were all about tending to the water pipes and humans not getting too chilled. Hadn't realized we didn't have much in the way of real winter bedding or clothes.
    Just not normally an issue here in South Carolina. lol I wore layers of full skirts and tops which kept the core warm, but grabbing/punching ice, and things with only my leather work gloves was not sufficient. We now own more winter wool socks, hats, shawls and winter gloves. ;) Still don't have our spring potatoes in. Getting late, I know, but those are always tricky to get through freezes without fully re-growing their tops.
    Reminder to save seeds from those odd plants that didn't get nipped as hard. This is why I avoid bought hybrids as much as possible. The only way I get winter lettuce, chard, and so on, is from seed adapted to these recent years. Potatoes still haven't quite gotten the message, but they are only a few years in. Although I wonder if I should separate fall potato seeds, from our spring stock of seeds. Fall potatoes have to be really heat tolerant, but there is also frost and freezes then too. Hm.

    Green tomatoes will ripen slowly in a Styrofoam cooler or cardboard box. Wrap each tomato in newspaper or other paper, pack into the box and put the lid on. Put in a cool spot on the porch or laundry room, and check again in a month. I picked tomatoes in Virginia that were green, and packed them this way as Prevention Magazine recommended it. At Christmas, I was still eating ripe tomatoes. BUT green tomatoes makes delicious fried green tomatoes and you can find recipes for the breading online. I would rather pick the green tomatoes and pack them away, rather than let them freeze. There are many recipes that use green tomatoes, and you find them online. I also left carrots in the ground all winter in Virginia, and pulled them the following spring. They were very fat, short, and absolutely delicious. Very sweet! The cold turns the starch to sugar!

    This was so much fun to watch! Only a gardener geek would sit on the edge of their seat watching another gardener geek walk around uncovering stuff for over 30 minutes but in the future this might be the key to someone’s survival. I was so excited when you uncovered the big tomato in the kingdome. The cabbages outside- that was inspiring! Im sure you know what a fruit cage is, maybe something similar in the future, with the tarp thrown over that would help your citrus grove on the side of the house. Im thinking also about how Florida citrus growers burn fires in the grove when there’s a freeze. Maybe having a trash barrel to burn wood in over by the citrus trees would help. For smaller trees like your little kumquat I have put upside down 55 gallon trash cans over them wrapped in the bubble wrap car windshield shades- bricks on top. You did good! I hate to even think about how my orchard on the deck did. It will be months before we know. Thinking about it makes me feel sick.

    When I've had 3 or 4 bigger tomato plants and had to cover them up, I've had good luck with heating a couple of bricks as hot as I could handle in gloves and putting them on the ground, under the cover, off to the side, for sure not touching the plant. The warm bricks give just that little bit extra heat that rises up into the tent of the cover.

    In the country of central Georgia It got down to 8 degrees and killed the lemon and satsumas. UFLA extension says the core could survive, to give them a chance to leaf out this spring to give them a chance before pulling them out. Our collards wilted, but came back! Little lettuce and beet sprouts survived. We did all we could to save the citrus, covering them and putting a light bulb under the tarp. They sure look dead to us, but maybe the core made it. We will see this spring.

    I caged my small citrus trees like you did and fill those with oak leaves. Our lows were 21 F, just a few leaves near the edge froze. I put my bananas, cassava and papayas in my garage and then built a wooden frame around them and stapled 4x8 sheets of foil backed Styrofoam to the frame and then put a heat lamp inside. I built a plywood enclosure around my two avocados and put heat lamps inside those.

    In the north , I am from Michigan, when we have a frost, if you take a hose and wash off the ice crystals before the sun hits the plants. That prevents the leaves from getting Frost bit. This is what we do in the north. Maybe someone knows the physics behind this, but it works. Hope this helps.

    Tomatoes, Peppers in winter? That would be a blessing. I had small tomato, cherry in protected place. It almost gave me two tomatoes. hugs.

    Thank you for letting us see what everything looks like. I wrapped my onions and cabbage and they came out all right. I lost my tomatoes and lettuce, and parsley and sweet peas. They did not make it. I wrap my lemon tree with a Blanket from the Family dollar store and with a tarp and the lemon tree made it ok. It was very joyful to know how good everything looks on your homestead. Very positive. Happy New Year. Danny and Wanda

    I'm happy about your outcome. I will definitely allow my survivors to go to seed this year even though I have plenty of seeds left. After they went through this Arctic Blast, I can't imagine the cold hardiness introduced in the coming seeds. I learned a lot and engineered a LOT protecting my little garden through these extremely low temperatures.

  • @bartsexton1652
    @bartsexton1652 ปีที่แล้ว

    I built or had built a greenhouse. Put my tomatoes that was so beautiful in my greenhouse. Did great till we dropped into the low thirty’s . So they never made it to this hard freeze . My onions did fine . My collards witch are very small made it outside in the low teens and the ones in the greenhouse made it . Got to water them and hopefully they do fine . My potatoes went leap even with straw on top . Thank the lord I didn’t have much in there with no heat .

    If you leave carrots in the ground after a freeze, they are sweeter. I live in the desert out west & we get freezes (26•), not supposed to be able to grow citrus but I do. I cover the trees. By May the areas that froze turn brown/white & brittle, usually the top 6". I cut those parts off. They are dwarfs but still grow 12" in a season. They do well, but I planted them up next to the stucco in my courtyard. Stucco & stone retain heat & give it off over night, another way to protect them.

    It's nice to see so much of your stuff survived. I only had collards left in my garden and harvested it all the Thurs before the freeze. We had -2 (actual) on Fri and then single digits until yesterday. This morning was actually 21 and might climb above freezing this afternoon. I guess about 100 yrs ago the TN river actually froze over so this has happened before.

    I'm still purchasing and prepping/putting up. Here in zone 9 our beets are making and I just made some pickled and canned up. Iceberg making, peas blooming---and our first snow at 37F. Eight cabbages slowly making in my row garden. It's all about food isn't it? Well, first or maybe next is calling Jesus our Lord, Savior, and Source.
