I was part of your Veterans Day live and thank y'all so much for your shout outs as a veteran and kids in the military now! I commented that I learned sprouting from you and still continue to this day. I am happy you are making a new sprouting video. You were my inspiration originally. We are a traveling family ( mostly Texas but sometimes we have to go somewhere temporarily), small home, ONLY container gardening that travels with us and love the content.
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words about the sprouting video. It's always a joy to hear how my videos are helping people (you!). Thank you for taking the time to right this. And thank you again for your service and now your children's, as well.... CK/ CG
Greetings from the Netherlands... not growing "much" in winter, but i still got leeks in the ground, some endive and lettuce in greenhouse. Kale everywhere ;) so not much ... BUT ... my pantry and freezer are full of produce from the garden... enough to feed me, my wife and even our kids and their families up until mai .... and then i already be pumping out fresh lettuces, and other early spring produce, as well as the winter cauliflower / cabbages that will be ready then. and here in the Netherlands even storebought potting mix has flies in em so i hardly do indoor growing.
Fantastic gardening! That is exactly what it’s all about feeding your family. Great job. I am so glad that you took the time to comment. By the way, Jerry, Camaraguy, his family lived in Hengelo from 1957 to about 1962, from Indonesia) and then move to the states where Jerry was born! Thank you again for commenting!
I love planting the greens and lettuces this time of year they do really great! I also love the tatsoi. It does well for me but as the season goes on the aphids eventually find it😾They love to hide in that spoon part. So I guess succession planting would be a good idea. I don’t want to spray my greens all the time. Even with organic options.
I grow wheatgrass inside during the winter for a friend of mine and for my worms, imagine that, lol. Right now not much inside besides worm bins, that basil you inspired me to take a cutting from and a couple peppers I am overwintering. Picked fresh raspberries for breakfast this morning, believe it or not, still getting vine ripe tomatoes, unheard of in zone 5a this late ( I think the shade cloth canopy kept the frost from ending my tomatoes this year ? ). Plan on ordering 5 pounds of alfalfa seeds so i can do some sprouts and for the garden next year. I may pick up that mix of sprouting bean seeds for a friend of mine, he really enjoys that kinda stuff, I would imagine I could just drill some holes in the endless number of used lids I have. Endive will be growing in my hydroponic bin once I get it started. Need to do the olive oil with my canning rings, great tip, Thanks! Lots of good info as always Kim, Stay Well!!!!
Sounds like you have a fantastic setup going, Brian! I would agree with you on your shade cloth theory, too! Love it when that sorta thing happens in the garden. Thanks for sharing. Kim
Hi April!! I am sorry I have not been able to comment on all of your latest uploads! Let me know how this goes or heck, make a video out of it!! Be well! You are doing a great job. Kim
CG: I've never seen that fish bowl lens shot of the whole house/yard! Arugula, Tatsoi & Endive are great! I don't mind the peppery. I still transplant out of seed trays, still too timid to direct sow but it works. I MAY be able to be on a Livestream Monday 🥬
What a great topic for today's video! I have a few empty spaces that need filling. I'm about to start some more microgreens in the windowsill tray, but I"m leaning toward some arugula and tatsoi now for the other spots. Thanks!!
What a beautiful yard! I have a west facing yard in OC (RSM) with little shade. It still gets hot with direct sun. Could u recommend a decorative flowering border that doesn't require a lot of water? Im trying to update yard for the holidays. Thank you!
Here are some beautiful and drought-tolerant plants to consider for your yard: Lavender: Its silvery foliage and purple blooms are perfect for a holiday-ready look. Bonus: It smells amazing! California Poppies: Bright orange blooms will complement the festive season and add a cheerful pop of color. Salvia (Sage): Available in a variety of colors, salvia is a pollinator magnet and thrives in dry conditions. Gaillardia (Blanket Flower): These daisy-like flowers come in warm hues like red, orange, and yellow, creating a vibrant border. Verbena: A tough, low-growing plant with clusters of flowers in purple, pink, or white. Coreopsis: With cheerful yellow blooms, this perennial is perfect for a sunny, dry garden. Rockrose (Cistus): Its bright flowers and evergreen foliage make it a great addition for year-round interest. Add mulch to retain moisture, and use drip irrigation or hand watering as needed. These plants will keep your yard festive and inviting without needing much water!
You shouldn’t stop rinsing bean sprouts once they start growing. Regular rinsing is essential to keep them fresh, hydrated, and free from mold or bacteria. Rinse them with cool, clean water twice daily, and make sure to drain them thoroughly each time to avoid excess moisture, which can lead to spoilage. Keep an eye (and nose) on them-if they develop an off smell, they may not be safe to eat. Continue rinsing until they’re ready to harvest, and rinse again before enjoying. CK
