We used a frost cover for the first time this year in our garden and it saved our outside plants this year when it got to 15. Didn't think it would work but it did. The blueberry bush in our greenhouse is currently blooming and making blueberries. We were amazed to have fresh blueberries at the end of January. Thank y'all for sharing. Wishing ya a blessed day.
You are teaching us some valuable lessons about plant management! Thanks for the update. Looking forward to hearing some good news about Wanda’s healing soon🙏🏻
I am praying most sincerely for Miss Wanda and you. I pray it’s a simple fix and you will be back to the robust couple you have been. I care very much about you both. ❤️
When we purchased our homestead in 2016 there was a huge roll of frost cloth suspended on a pipe in a back port of our barn. It had been there unused for years. We have used it every year and still have about half the roll. We reuse it until it is falling apart. Lol. I shutter to think what that huge roll would cost today.
(My second comment) Wanda, I just remembered when I had my chest cough with co*v, a friend suggested OIL OF OREGANO. I purchased it at a Publix Pharmacy in capsules. It is anti-bacterial, fungal, viral & in capsules it looks like black strap molasses. I snipped off the top of three capsules & squeezed them into a hot cup of tea. It “burned” on its way down but a couple of days later I lost that congested-cough. Continued prayers for you & Danny
I had not had the flu in 20 years. The week before Christmas both my son and I got it. I am still not 100%. I just don't have any energy. That being said Pecan Grove is beautiful. The cabbages and carrots especially so. I am looking forward to seeing the corn again.
Good to see y’all pretty much avoided all that weather damage & what survived looked so lovely! Hard work & holding the Lord’s Hand has brought on abundance. Y’all make me😊
😍😍😍 🌿 🪴 🌿 That’s wonderful, what a blessing!! Glad you’re feeling better Danny. Ms. Wanda, I hope you feel 💯 real soon & get to the bottom of everything health-wise. Prayers to you both 🙏🏻 💜
Use the fabric almost year round. In the growing season cover the cabbage and the carrots, keeping insects off. They are covered as soon as planting. Use a lite weight fabric during the summer. In off season cover the carrot bed with the heavier fabric . As it gets colder I add a layer of plastic over the fabric. When dropped below zero, added two layer of burlap. Also had a light (40 watt bulb) in the enclosure. As it has warmed above freezing things are looking good under the cover. The fabric is draped over metal hoops I have bent, using the Johnny's hoop bender.
I hear ya as far as getting sick. I myself got a stomach bug that there is no stopping it. It comes in full force. It’s just gotta take its course and then a month after that I got Covid. It wasn’t terrible, but it Hass to take its course and it’s highly highly contagious. It went through our whole family, but we persevered and I’m 65 and it didn’t kill me
Glad you are getting better. Prayer for total healing. Darn freeze. 😢 Weather is our biggest struggle. Well…and bugs. This was great to see. I am going to work on more covered raised beds this year. 😊🙏❤️
my frost cover worked also! I took pool noodles and cut length wise and put on top of the cages, then used clips to attach the bottom of the frost cover. lots of winds gust, but no tears in fabric.
Good you’ll both on road to recovery. Prayers your why. Thanks for the update. Did order some ag fabric. Will use this spring, as planting is late April to May, @ least it use to.
I bought some elephant garlic from hoss tool about 3 years ago. I have grown it successfully ever since here in Indiana. Y'all were right, once it is established you will always have it.
Yup that looks exactly like mine. I use the fabric as well breathes and keeps moisture in , no bug, no spraying. Just gotta learn to do carrots. Learned the leaf idea this year with mine. I got some planted as well. Love it Its cheaper to get the pex pipe by the roll and just make the taller hoops that's what I did. Please take care of yourself as you are doing. Sometimes you just can't and will take a minor loss but the lord provides. I know this to be true in my life.
I’ve had really good luck keeping the deer from snacking through my garden fence by snaking a black water hose on the ground about 3 feet away from the fence. They won’t step over that hose in my experience. Also good luck by stringing up a single line of paracord on the cheap step in electric fence posts a couple of feet from the ground 3 feet away from the fence. You only need enough posts to keep the line suspended and tight. They are easily pulled out of the ground to move out of the way for access and mowing.
Wow beautiful oh my that's awesome bounty! God is good ❤ I enjoyed some great weather 50s today in Mn and now some rain is moving in been an extremely mild winter except for 1 cold snap.not much snow so this rain will be welcomed.
I grow everything under Agribon all winter till about late March. I plant my tomatoes out 3 weeks early, as well as all my other spring plants. Agribon will change your life.
I also follow "Robbie and Gary Gardening Easy" She lives in San Diego area and uses tulle to cover almost all her garden containers. Keeps out animals/insects and holes are small enough that birds don't get their claws caught in it. Also provides some shade for plants. She buys it low cost by the bolt from a couple of ebay vendors. I don't recall her saying anything about whether tulle protects against cold.
Having frost/freeze protection over our plants has helped us a whole lot this year. I'm now a firm believer in it. Still keeping both of you in prayer for healing & answers. 🙏🏻💞
It's a shame you don't have a couple of smug pots for your container area. I watched them at work in Florida. The old boy had many expensive and rare plants, shrubs and trees in his garden . Not cheap to run like 50/60 years ago. Learned a lot being down there for the cold snap I believe in 2008 .
I follow a bunch of homesteaders look like that about all of them they are going to the raise bed and the cloth covers of one kind or the another this yr. Some are doing in ground planting and cover with something also
Thank you for your videos. I always learn something from you. I struggle with growing onions I can’t for the life of me getting an onion to grow. I’ve studied up on them. I’ve watched videos I need to test my soil that’s the only thing I have not done.
I put that fabric over my spinich and the frost still killed the leaves. They are still alive so i just pulled off the frozen leaves...but the garlic is coming up!!! I remembered you said we will have to be gardening under fabric, and in summer shade cloth from now on so i got alot of it. Oh my onions died under the cloth too. Or at least the skunny leaves went away...got down to 15 also.
Our blueberries are blooming, too, in NC Florida. Weird winter for us. We didn't even get a chance to prune them. Ms. Wanda, you might need to make some sauerkraut!
I container garden for two years now. I know you want everything at Pecan Grove, but what if you moved just the containers to Deep South? They would be near by the home to keep a closer eye on them. I have about 30 containers in my backyard and most days it takes me less than 20 minutes to water and check. You are still letting your ground soil rest cuz you have them in containers.
Yeah ... My theory is that shock & stress either kills or strengthens. Gotta see what makes it to save as acclimated seed. Time to Experiment. --xxoo 🍒
It’s a shame that mother nature battles our gardens up in Tn every year my fruit trees start to bud and some bloom and we then get a late frost and kills everything and then the Japanese Beatles come in and eat all the leaves off

Our old fashioned multiplying onions that we bought from y'all are doing great!! Praying for both of y'all.
I am praying most sincerely for Miss Wanda and you. I pray it’s a simple fix and you will be back to the robust couple you have been.

Praying that Wanda finds out what can be done to get her back to feeling good!! Hoping its an pretty easy fix!!

❤❤The greens look good too! Hopefully they will recover enough to have a good harvest out of them.
That raised bed looks Awesome Brother!!!!
Beautiful cabbage and garden
I used this fabric for my cabbage this year and it works!!!! The leaves are huge and heads are huge! I'll have to try garlic with it next time!
Wow beautiful cabbage ❤ and plants
Mrs Wanda, THAT'S just what the Dr ordered ,🤗.l
Thank you for sharing. Wish you good health

Sorry to hear that both of you are sick and suffering. I wish both of you a speedy recovery and I hope you are feeling better soon.
That garden bed looks great!
🙏💪❤️ Thank you for sharing.
Wow all looks awesome.
Those blueberries are popping.
Gorgeous WOW
Oh my them cabbage are just beautiful y’all do a good job on your stuff
Fried cabbage leaves with carrot tops and green onion tops yummy 😋.
I really envy you for the amounts of land you have. However, I am also very happy for you!
You might consider planting some seeds for the deer in the condo area
🙏🙏
' same here, my almond trees are budfing and my mulberries are waking up. '

Mr Danny I would say your experiment was a success 🎉
Glad you are getting better. Prayer for total healing. Darn freeze. 😢 Weather is our biggest struggle. Well…and bugs.
This was great to see. I am going to work on more covered raised beds this year. 😊🙏❤️
my frost cover worked also! I took pool noodles and cut length wise and put on top of the cages, then used clips to attach the bottom of the frost cover. lots of winds gust, but no tears in fabric.
Nice and healthy!
Good you’ll both on road to recovery. Prayers your why. Thanks for the update. Did order some ag fabric. Will use this spring, as planting is late April to May, @ least it use to.
Ya my artichoke plant is coming back and I’m like “ it’s early , I’m worried “
Looks really good , just splice some more onto the tubing you have with dowel rods inside the tubing😊
Good morning. Now i would like to have some cabbage and fried cornbread. Looks good.
🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
I ordered some of that Agrifab. Your raised bed is absolutely beautiful. 😍
I bought some elephant garlic from hoss tool about 3 years ago. I have grown it successfully ever since here in Indiana. Y'all were right, once it is established you will always have it.
I feel ya both! I was down all of Dec and most of Jan with the crud! Exhausted, but up moving slowly again finally!!

Nice cabbage!! Dont forget , u can use some of the leaves while the heads are still growing! I need to try some of that row cover!!
My blueberries are in full bloom too. I just bought and planted 4 small bare root blueberry plants to go with the one we have.

What kind of fabric is it?

I grow everything under Agribon all winter till about late March. I plant my tomatoes out 3 weeks early, as well as all my other spring plants. Agribon will change your life.
I live about 20 minutes south of Jackson and just got my blue berries pruned. I might get my muscadines and scuppernongs this Thursday or Friday.

Beautiful cabbage, glade to see you outside Wanda. Go slow so your body will Continue to heal love you both. Y’all work good together

I fight the deer also, last year they loved the okra and sweet potato vines. The woodchuck loved the brocolli.
I follow a bunch of homesteaders look like that about all of them they are going to the raise bed and the cloth covers of one kind or the another this yr. Some are doing in ground planting and cover with something also
Yes the sun is getting to hot in this solar cycle.
The most beautiful green cabbage leaves i have seen in years. No slug in Pecan Grove?
Electroculture coils will keep slugs away.
You might want to consider planting some seeds in the condo area for the deer. After all, they provide meat for you.
I did this fall but they ate them before they got up good.
For what it’s worth, rutabaga greens are good eating, much like collards. 😋
Thank you for your videos. I always learn something from you. I struggle with growing onions I can’t for the life of me getting an onion to grow. I’ve studied up on them. I’ve watched videos I need to test my soil that’s the only thing I have not done.
Yes test soil then use lots of water and nitrogen in the beginning.
I put that fabric over my spinich and the frost still killed the leaves. They are still alive so i just pulled off the frozen leaves...but the garlic is coming up!!! I remembered you said we will have to be gardening under fabric, and in summer shade cloth from now on so i got alot of it. Oh my onions died under the cloth too.

I had this cloth doubled
❤Beautiful Cabbages, Carrots, Onions, Garlic & Rosemary!
You always say what I think or say to myself
Which thickness of agrifabric did you get? I am in N FL so we get some freezes here.
Not sure we have a link in the comments.
Got my booster shot, the flu shot and medicare pays for the shingle vaccine now so got that 2 shot series. So far so good.
Our blueberries are blooming, too, in NC Florida. Weird winter for us. We didn't even get a chance to prune them. Ms. Wanda, you might need to make some sauerkraut!

I have about 30 containers in my backyard and most days it takes me less than 20 minutes to water and check. You are still letting your ground soil rest cuz you have them in containers.
Gardening is hard! How come you don't use those gardening metal clips to keep your fabric together? They are silver, work well.
We're old school I guess.
That's not we had that this year and all the spring crops fruited early and got hit by frost
Oh no y'all are going to get better in Jesus name. I want to see the outcome of those new raised beds 😊
👍
I put hay around my onions last year to keep them from freezing … I will NEVER do that again..lotsa weeds this year in that bed
Those are beautiful carrots … I listened to Danny this year and I have sum carrots that are 3” long and so sweet
Where do we get the freeze fabric?
amzn.to/3udvPh0
Did y’all get the ice? It shut us down for about a week!
Yes we have videos showing it.
Wow, did you cut your hair? Wish I could grow year round. Hard to do
here in Oklahoma.
Yes I did.
Yeah ... My theory is that shock & stress either kills or strengthens. Gotta see what makes it to save as acclimated seed. Time to Experiment. --xxoo 🍒
Danny do you ever get fire ants in your raised beds and if you do what do you use to get rid of them?
Yes usually if you disturb them daily they will leave.
@@pecangrovems ok thanks
🙏🙏🙏♥️🙂🕊👍
I was just wondering if you've ever planted any rhubarb
To hot here for it.
It’s a shame that mother nature battles our gardens up in Tn every year my fruit trees start to bud and some bloom and we then get a late frost and kills everything and then the Japanese Beatles come in and eat all the leaves off
It appears you don't have the same termite and fire ant problem there as you do at Deep South.
Oh there here it's just been so cold.
I have opened a Pyramidial vortex in CT valley. Its really churned up cloud/energy flows of the world
Rabbits in the onions.
We don't have any rabbits here.
Eating your greens Wanda for iron
