The rest was a waste of time
Thank you
Thank you very much
I live in Southwestern Wisconsin. Brought about half my Kale plants from the outdoor garden back inside over Winter. I figured the rest would perish, as we had an especially brutal winter, and they were completely exposed to the elements. But to my surprise, when the 30 inches of snow cover melted, I found every single one had survived even -15 degree temperatures.
Yep, Kale is pretty amazing!
I need this plant. What type of kale? Did you grow from seeds or buy the plant?
@@newcreationchurchofrangely4664 You buy seeds in store. Easy to grow and it survives in frosting or snowing
Oddly, you would think they are basically all the same plant, but some are more cold resistant than others, and last year we got sub-minus 10c temperatures and as regards brassicas it killed the broccoli and it killed the Nero do Toscana kale, but the Red Russian Kale survived with no ill effects. So all brassicas are not built the same, it seems. In a slightly milder winter they would all survive and I have overwintered broccoli in the past with no problems.
INTRESTING
We built a solar dehydrator for $20. We put our unused kale in it and dehydrate it. After it’s dry it goes into mason jars and lasts for a few years. We add the powder to lots of meals and you don’t taste it but it adds nutrients to your meals. We use our dehydrator all year long. In the summer we use the sun and in winter we open the door and put it close to the wood stove and the heat dehydrates everything. We no longer throw away veggies or fruits that get old we cut it up and dehydrate it. We make raisins for a delicious treat from older grapes.
You’re taking the nutrients out by dehydrating. They’re coming out in the juices.
@@dannydeas6242 No, you would take them all out by cooking extensively. Dehydration removes water content, since the heating is gentle and slow it leaves nutrients
How did you make one?
That's impressive, we can't even change our toilet tank float system don't think we could figure that out!
@@dannydeas6242 Anything dehydrated?
We discovered broccoli leaves this past year. Steamed, they are every bit as flavorful as the florets.
eat the leaves raw like salad.. throw in raw sweet potatoe leaves also if you have them
I cook my brassica leaves like greens from turnips and collards. Good with cornbread.
My kids LOVE the stems to be added to things like stir fries!
I use them and brussel sprout leaves to make cabbage rolls
My grandmother always ate the stalks & stems. I asked her why, since no one else seemed to eat them. She told me they were sweeter and more nutritious than the florets. Plus they didn't have that mealy texture, lol. I quickly followed suit (I was 8), it's still my favorite part of the plant
I'm in zone 7, and I can tell you cilantro and green onions (scallions) could care less if they outright freeze. They grow ALL winter. Also grow sunchokes, and you can dig them up all winter...the cold makes them sweet! (Just soak before and/or cook in citrus juice, so you don't get gassy.)
Thanks! I'm in zone 7 too.
Interesting.... I haven't grown sunchokes and I'm in zone 7 too, will have to try that. Thanks! I'm also growing green onions, and just started some coriander seeds a few days ago in containers and I cover them at night, but they probably won't germinate when it's too cold? I'm doing it as a test, maybe I should make a cold frame and put those containers in there.
I'm not a fan of kale either, but I grow it, dehydrate it, then crush it, and use it to sprinkle on soups, salads, etc. I mix it with other dehydrated leafy vegetables and call it my "super greens" powder. Kale has been amazingly hardy throughout the winter for me.
That's a great idea!
I do this too!! I have 2 little kiddos and we put it in soups and on noodles. We call it “Hulk powder”
great idea
Try Siberian kale. It is very mild and can be eaten like lettuce or cooked. Most other kales taste foul.
Collards are especially suited to cold. In the South they consider it to best harvested after a frost when it becomes sweeter. I have actually taken mature collards from the market and put them in the freezer for say, 30 minutes prior to washing, stripping and thinly slicing before cooking with some type of ham seasoning. Big difference between frosted and fresh.
I pick my own collards for New Year’s dinner and still have them all through February in Ga. most brassicas do well here.
I love collards. One of my favorite winter foods.
We have a 15 year old collard plant. It’s huge. The past few years have been a challenge as far as pests go. But she’s still giving us lots of beautiful leaves. Enough for us and a few neighbors. Thank you for pointing this wonderful veggie out!
When you use ham seasoning
It is no longer a vegtable
Perfect. So when i ride my bike home from the store with some and its 40 below F and it freezes in the pannier, dinners all the better yet even lol
1.40 starts 1- spinach
2- carrots 🥕 3- kale gets sweet 4- mache ( corn salad )
5- Swiss chard 6- miners lettuce 7-parsley
I know peas and Beets , bock Choi, aren’t on their but they do good too.
Miners not minors
Also it is Mache not mosh. Just FYI
Thanks 🙏
cabbages , cau,lflower, Collards and mustard greens, Spinach, carrots, kale, broccoli, Arugula, pak choi, sweet peas and Beets, I also plant a 1/2 barrel of potatoes late, that produce small potatoes all winter long in SE Georgia. I do a lot of mixed salad greens, in window boxes, on my covered porch, and my herbs are in hanging baskets there also. I have had Tomatoes and yard long beans at Christmas. place containers on east side of house. they will do great in filterted light, and next to (like 15 foot away) is a wooded area, that helps to protect so consider a lattice wall to make a wind break enclosed east sided winter garden or next to a tree line, for protection. Most of my gardens plants are in a cut in half food grade 55 gallon drums. Be surprised how much food you can grow this way and at 73 years old now, a lot easier for me. mulch, mulch, with leaves and hay!!! you can always cover all with loose hay when really cold and they keep well, give them a blanket!! I only use fish Emulsion to feed all. I enjoy fresh veggies all year around, even in hottest summers and coldest winters in my area if I choose wisely where to plant. Be Bless.
🥰🙏💗
I'm zone 6b and I grow various kales (we make amazing curry or Mexican style kale chips), spinach, winter lettuces, Perpetual Spinach, mustard greens, broccoli made it uncovered till the end of January last year, pak choi, tatsoi, kohlrabi, peas are pretty badass too (I trellis some outdoors and in the greenhouse), broad beans, fava beans, mache, claytonia, carrots, leek, mezuna, beets, some other asian greens I can't remember right now. My sage, oregano and thyme were indestructible last year too. I don't grow collards greens, cabbages or cauliflower but I heard they are cold hardy too. My mache and kale survived uncovered under snow last year and bounced back bigger and more amazing the next spring.
Have you tried Tendergreen mustard-spinach? Yum!
I'm zone 8a & have broccoli, winter cabbage, cauliflower all growing quite well but just to be safe, I have a removable 'hoop-like' cover over them. Am also growing everything in black cattle troughs so the sun heats the roots and the plants that are about 4" down from the top edge. I use black pipe my husband got off a jobsite to plant my herbs in & I rarely ever have to replant anything. I live on a mtn side that unfortunately faces North but have utilized microclimates that already existed & then added a little help where needed. I get snow off & on all winter & a ton of rain year round but particularly in the winter. It's been a learning experience coming from a warmer, less rainy climate on flat ground! To avoid cutting hundreds of trees for a garden I opted for raised beds over my septic field lines, hence the troughs to keep roots from ever reaching the ground so no worries about ecoli, etc.
Thank you for your additional vegetables. Good to know for my grow zone.
I have parsley, oregano, thyme, society garlic, radishes, lettuce, swiss chard, strawberries, kale, leeks, mint, collards, celery, and asparagus that have made it through the winter. I am in zone 8B. We did have a 4-5 inch snow this year. I will be planting additional plants this next fall.
Wow, that's more snow than we have had here in our Zone 6b garden. We have had a really dry year.
I am in St George Utah which is 8b. I found growing 4x4 raised beds between houses grows herbs. It is Oct and I'm going to try overwintering. Thanks for the help. Susie

I've grown broccoli late and left it all winter. It gave me a second crop in the spring/early summer but the winter crop tasted less bitter.
What climate zone you live in?
@@RonSafreed 8a
Same, in 9b.
Broccoli tastes bitter?
Broccoli leaves are fantastic...very similar to spinach....grows great...harvest like kale...no need to wait for the "flower" part
Nothing is more cold resistant than Red Russian Winter Kale. Nothing.
Our favorite Kale is called Vates, its a crinkly leaf variety. It also holds up VERY well against the cold. I think kale is the king of winter hardiness!
@@StoneyAcresGardening I still have Kale plants from last Fall
I absolutely LOVE kale when made into kale chips!! I saw this on Rachel Ray's cooking show and it's the best way for me to keep kale in my diet.
Strip the kale off the ribs and slice it up. Rachel says to do 1 inch strips but I actually take it a step further and dice it into 1 inch squares. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over it and sprinkle some sea salt or pink Himalayan salt on it. Work the olive oil and salt over it evenly. Don't add too much oil..... just enough to coat it lightly..... or it will be harder for it to crisp up. Place a single layer on a cookie sheet. Fight the urge to put a lot on the sheet because it needs some air circulating around the leaves to cook properly. Otherwise it will just be limp instead of crispy. Cook it at 350F for about 10 minutes or until crispy. Devour at will! I could eat the whole bunch of this all by myself and probably even make it into my entire meal but I typically have to share with my client. LoL
Sound amazing!!
I make Kale chi poo s with no seasoning for my granddogs. They love it and it is really good for them!
Try everything bagel seasoning on your chips next time. Yum!
I wonder if you can put a cooling rack in the pan and put the kale on that to cook/dry?
Leeks grow all year round on Long Island, NY
Turnips, specifically the Purple Top White Globe Turnip, and the seeds are SUPER CHEAP if you buy it as a microgreen, you can get a pound of seed for less than $10. Also, it is an heirloom, so you can collect the seeds year after year if you want to. I planted mine last spring, ate a few, left the rest in the ground all winter (Northern AZ, yep it snows here), and in March they were still going strong. I pulled a softball sized one out and made it into soup greens an all - delicious! Even my dog loved it. I was surprised it survived the heat of summer as well as the winter cold (zone 7). It will now always have a spot in my garden. I like that you can just leave them in the ground and harvest as needed/desired. I use it as a yummy micro green too, and it is the seed I use when trying new growing methods as it is cheap, and I am not super upset if the crop happens to fail... so far it does well in most growing mediums, even the stainless steel soilless. My Dino Kale did better than all my other Kales, but all three survived (Dino, Red Russian/Ragged Jack, Blue Scotch Curly). I even had a few pea plants survive, and they are now flowering. The variety really makes a difference, only my sugar snaps survived. Thanks for the great video that is timeless! God bless!
Mache (lamb's ear salad) is one of Germany's favourite winter salads (it's called "Feldsalat" which translates into field salad). I'm always amazed that it's fairly unknown in America because it has such a distinct, yet subtle flavour and is such a staple in German grocery stores. Maybe because washing it is such a hassle?
We love eating it with a yoghurt and mustard dressing with (diced onion,) sliced apples and toasted walnuts. Add honey to be fancy. But it's also very tasty with a vinaigrette.
I wish more people knew about it! It's awesome!
Thanks for sharing the lamb's ear salad and dressing.
It can also be breaded and fried. Tastes a lot like meat. I had it Brasil.
There are so many veggies that are unknown. This is why I like reading comments. The globalistROCKEFLLERS, ETC.... Can't make a profit on veggies and herbs bc many so called "weeds" or leafy greens are medicine, so they're labeled as weeds or dangerous... Hence the production of 'Round up' and the like poisons. There's an abundance of food, veggies, leafy greens, herbs and medicinal greens around us, but many have been taught to fear, h-ate and be ignorant.
I'll need to look up and buy the seeds. Thanks
Garlic chives are very good taste. You can harvest 7 times a year. You don't have to take care of it. It grows very well among other herbs or wild grass.
I live along the Northern California coast and because I get allot if rain I planted kale inside my small hoop house and it has gone through 3 winters so far and one plant grew to the roof last year on a 2in stem. Amazing. I just go pick what I need each few days for my smoothies
Yep, Kale is amazing!
I make a straw bale coldframe every fall and I use shower doors as the lids and I have salad all winter long. Yum! Super cheap to make and I recycle the straw into my garden in the spring.
That's awesome!
Cabbage is great for growing in the winter. I used to do farming in Maine. We always harvest cabbages around thanksgiving.
How can i contact you? I am a beginner in need of some tips on how to start growing
@@only1lilboosie94 You're on TH-cam, got all the tips you'll need. Search anything and someone has a channel.
@@only1lilboosie94 just plant
In Southeast, Texas it is still pretty warm around thanksgiving...hint...it is January 17th and it will be around 68 to 70° today
I have a strawberry style pot with herbs in each cup and the parsley survived being snowed on for a week!
Pick kale small, just plant densely in a wide row. You can cut it back a section at a time and it grows back pretty quickly with a sheet of plastic over it here in southern Illinois. Small kale has a great flavor, either alone or mixed with spinach, cooked or raw. You can eat the crispy stems as well. I'm not a fan of big kale either, but it's good small. I use .0125" wire support arches to keep the plants from touching the plastic, which will cause freezing of the plants on cold nights. Not much to look at but it gets the job done
Good list,. you might add Tatsoi a sweet mustard- grows much like spinach and as cold hardy as spinach. We use it in salad and a stir fry -grows flat with cup shaped leaves in a rosette. Also you need to add Arugula.
I've grown Tatsoi a few times. Great little plant, and you're right, it should be on the list! But I run away when people mention Arugula! Blah!! Nasty stuff!! :)
Chois behave the same too. They’re glorious in the winter (at least in 9b).
This is so good, in fact, helpful to plan what to plant now and how to care for and harvest them. Thank you. Since I was 5 years old, I have grown a large garden every year, and enjoyed it very much. One year, I did not get all of the beets harvested before a cold winter and snow hit our yard. In the Spring, I noticed the beets. So, I harvested the beets and cooked them for dinner. They were amazing! They were the sweetest beets we have ever eaten.
Try them. They will be the sweetest, best beets you have ever eaten. We live at 5,000 feet in Utah. Because I have arthritis in every joint of my body, and I am on oxygen 24 hours a day, I can no longer get to our very large garden at the back of our property to enjoy six or eight hours of gardening each day. So, my sweet husband purchased lots of very large pots for me and put them on our back deck, where I am still able to do a little gardening. I recently watched a You Tube video about planting beets in the Fall for a Spring harvest. So, around the end of August, I planted quite a few beets which I plan to leave in the pots over the winter. We should have some very sweet beets ready in the Spring. Thank you 😊
Awesome!!!
I grow mostly in pots now, too. It's a different style from in-ground, but still very rewarding. Enjoy!!
I live in northern NM, I wintered over my summer crop of Kale and Chard, the low temps got down to 10 Degrees, and it survived and gave me a wonderful healthy spring crop!
In Tennessee my parsley survived the winter uncovered and the next year they flowered and went to seed after growing humongous and I had so much parsley it was just amazing. They are biennial. Another herb that does well through the winter is cilantro. At least in my area. It was also uncovered, and almost turned fall colors. But it came back strong in the spring. It's actually a cool weather crop. Second year it will bolt and go to seed fairly quickly so pick fairly ruthlessly early in the spring.
Nice! Good to know.
Thank you !
My dad used to over winter parsnips here in Maine by covering the row with hay bales! They got sweeter after a good frost or freeze.
Carrots do the same!! Yum
When I grew parsnips, beets, and carrots for fall harvest, I would put hay bales on top. So exciting in February shuffle out through the snow, top over the hay bales and lay eyes on healthy, happy-looking crops! And how deflating to pull them out with such ease, because voles, and maybe chipmunks, had eaten most of every one of the juicy, sweet veggies beneath the soil line. At best I was able to cut off one fingerjoint piece of the plants. Interestingly, the carrots, parsnips, beets had not gone soft or turned brown where they had been gnawed off. Not likely they ate the whole lot just before I went out to harvest! After that, I dug up the top half of my raised beds, set hardware cloth cages in, refilled them with soil, then planted. That was backbreaking, expensive, got painful cuts from snipping the hardware cloth and forming the boxes, and messing up the stratification of my soil. Let's not talk about after-season cleanup.🤯
@@grovermartin6874 critters are the bane of my gardening existence. Whahh 😩
I must have the healthiest critters in town living off my veggies. And I can’t in any shape, form or manner just toss scraps into a compost pile or it will attract skunks 🦨 that will spray my dog. And when they leave she still rolls in that sh*t.
@@rosesez3428 Aww, sounds like you need a gate and a compost tumbler.
@@rosesez3428 I had the same problem early in the season. I put netting over it and it worked. When veg got bigger I took it off and didn't have problems.
I just stumbled across this video tonight. I'm from Mid central Ohio our zones are 5b/6a. Flowering Cabbage is very popular around here in the late fall and into winter. The colors are amazing, they look like a huge colorful flower. Anything that can stand an Ohio winter is amazing to me lol
Wow! That's awesome! I'm always impressed at what will survive the winter!
I've cooked the leaves of the decorative cabbage. Yum
We are also in 6A . Very brutal growing zone
Kale. A great way to eat kale is to put a handful of bite size pieces into the bottom of a soup bowl, then pour the hot soup in.
Especially with a potato soup.
We love doing that!
Zone 3b here. Kale and carrots are the longest lasting vegetables here before the deep snow comes. Too much snow to have a hoop house or cold frame. The best veg on the homestead is our potatoes. We overwinter them in the ground and have the sweetest potatoes in the spring and enough left over for seed to plant a couple weeks later for the next crop. We only have 90 frost free days to grow here. And that's pushing it.
Kathryn Gagne This is amazing, didn't know you could do this with potatoes! I'm in 4a and I'm definitely going to try it this year, thanks :)
@@heatherhammersmith8997 I call our potato bed "the potato pit". It is dug into the side of a small embankment. We discovered the overwintering by accident. We had an early cold spell last year and my husband and I were both ill and could not harvest it all in time. We had planted about 18" deep. When I went to prep the bed this spring I discovered the mother load of the sweetest potatoes. I'm hoping to repeat the blessing this year. By the way. We have very clay soil. The potatoes did have water blisters but they don't cause harm. Just have to peel the skin off.
Kale sautéed with garlic, sea salt, and fresh grated ginger...oh my, so delish.
Wow! That sounds so good!
In the suburbs north of Detroit, Michigan, I used to grow kurly kale as a perennial in my front beds behind my flowering annuals. Just pinch off the flowers when they show up. Give the plant a good shake to knock the snow off before you use your kitchen shears to collect greens for supper. They die back to the root in February, but begin growing again in March. The kale added great nutrition to any hot dish including mac & cheese. Spring and new leaves can be used in salads. Mine was grown from seed.
I grew garden lettuce(Ice Queen) under plastic last year and it did well.Northwest Ohio was plenty cold last year, too.
@@gregzeigler3850 where do you buy Ice Queen lettuce
Thank you for sharing I am working on putting out my first fall garden. Keep up the great work.
You're welcome!! What are you planting in your fall garden this year?
I was growing garlic and cilantro last year they are very good for fall planting I live in Tennessee 😁
How can i contact yoj? I am a beginner who needs advice on planting
I’m in TN too. SE. I even had a tomato vine that kept coming back every year if I covered it.
I got a green house n used 1 chicken light and had bell peppers all winter.
Had garlic n onions n root vegys n herbs galore n lettuce, kale, chard , celery....
n because I put my jacuzzi in there, I used it a couple nights when it got real cold one year to warm it in there. Because it always ran anyways, it didn’t run up the bill.
I had a fish pond in it n put a fish tank heater in it with a water fountain n the fish did fine all winter. It’s shallow so it was summer that was hard. I had to get an umbrella to put over them in summer.
Finally I moved it and made it a bit deeper. It was landscape Rock with a thick pond liner. I had it about 25 years and it started to get dry on the edges. I couldn’t fold it up when I moved so I finally got rid of it.
I used a rectangle pot n river rock to do a makeshift water fall with swimming pool the filter in the pond. It attracted too many frogs which is ok to have a few but it’s not good to have too many.
I put some of the plants in weaved plastic baskets n had them up in the pond with roots just below the water surface and the herbs n plants grew better than anywhere.
I started using some of the pond water when I did water changes on the plants and they did so great.
I used cedar mulch around the plants n covered with Walmart roll of 25.00 plastic on cold nights. It did great. The sensitive plants like lemons got heat lights.
The mint n spearmint n so many herbs never died nor went dormant.
The tomatoes didn’t grow but didn’t die either, n the okra wouldn’t grow.
My elephant ears stayed good. The zinnias stayed a long time but died.
Cat nip grew like crazy.
My feather grass and the pink azalea bush grew n bloomed all winter, the fig tree did pretty good too.
The fig n n organic papaya n avocado n mango didn’t go all the way dormant or die like it does in the ground outside.
I had to cover them pretty good to stop them from dying when I didn’t have the greenhouse.
I noticed people put the figs under awnings n trees n next to the house to keep them from getting cold wind n too too cold that have been known to kill them sometimes.
I don’t use Grazon hay or anything GMOed or chemicals of any kind. I use organic neem n clean the plants.
I have used lemon grass n peppermint essential oils in water to spray on the plants.....Its scent at first attracts the Japanese beetle but then they get close and decide they hate it and leave.
If they do stay, which isn’t often, I catch them in a bucket of water n feed to the chickens or I swat them n kill em.
I heard organic cornstarch helps but I’m afraid to try it.
Cornstarch seems like It would dry like baking soda and the baking soda even very diluted, dried up and killed a few of my herbs.
What has always worked best for me is soapy water with either fish or apple cider vinegar to kill some things, milk in a cup to kill snails, or wood n I kill with salt after I turn it over during the day......and spray them sideways briskly to kill any eggs under the leaves.
And keep all moths n butterflies off plants.
Only have flowers next to things you want pollinated. And then you have to keep the caterpillar larvae n worms from getting its fruit.
I have moved n only garden in pots now but it does ok. Not like in the ground but it’s ok.
The Bible says not to mix which makes it hard cuz I want to grow more than I have of pots. I grow too many plants in one pot then it doesn’t do that great. I need to have only a plant or two in each pot.
I grew chia in a pot n never got blooms or seed but it got like 10 ft tall, LOL I finally pulled them out.
I have sweet potato n potatoes in pots but the potatoes don’t get that big for some reason.
I can’t get chive your grow here like it did in Michigan, it’s different growing here. I got much bigger fruit with no fertilizer up there. But I had more snails that wrecked my lettuce up there n never had anything tropical!
I have Meyers lemon tree n I take a branch n stick it in the dirt n it grows n I don’t have to do anything. Same with some kinds of pine trees. I will have lemons this winter. I couldn’t do that in Michigan!
The palm trees do well if I put a lamp near them but not too close.
I wanted to try some other tropical plants like bananas but I don’t know. Any suggestions?
Maybe pomegranate ? Olive trees? Dragon fruit? Kiwi?
Do you know if these grow here?
Internet doesn’t always tell the truth.
@@joyceobeys6818 What a fascinating history of your gardening, I couldn't stop reading it and kept trying so hard to envision the different settings where you grew things.

@@joyceobeys6818 thanks for all that info
I’m in NC...similar growing conditions...I’m going to try some of the things you mentioned. God bless you
I’m saving this video in my playlist for reference later. I’m a new gardener in zone 4 and would love to grow even in winter - next year.
Look up floating row covers. Here in Michigan I use them to overwinter spinach, chard, turnips, mustard, cilantro, green onions, and more. It’s quiet from December through March, but by early April we are eating from the garden daily.
This is my first garden in 21 yrs.
Leeks , parsnips , swede , turnips , beet rout and broad beans , all stand well through a harsh winter
Great new plants to try for winter! Thank you! I also plant radishes except for July & August. My grandfather was a coal miner in Scranton, PA and used to pick salad "weeds" on his way home after work. Never knew what he's find but it was always something including mulberries & other wild fruits.
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
Lynn I'd love to find mulberry trees that harvest mulberries.
@@kristinatidwell6563 mulberry trees are very easy to get started and because of their huge root system they never go away.. We have a big mulberry (was on the property when I moved here 45 yrs ago) competing for space with our baby (8-10 ft tall) persimmon trees that nature planted. I keep cutting the mulberry branches back and its seems to make it even stronger.
I live in north Mississippi but we get nightly freezing weather...... Not super cold but 27 or 26 degrees. My cabbage and celery are doing very well! Mustard greens do well in freezing temps, too. They are not bitter and are as good as spinach.
Wow! That's awesome!
I'm in Alabama. Your celery does well there?
Our celery did very well during the winter. When it got down to 17 degrees for a couple of nights, we put it in the greenhouse and left it there. It grew like a champ! We pulled back outside into the cool spring temps and it lasted until August when we had 100 degree temps.
I love your Enthusiasm ! ! ...... Gardeners just have the best passion for what they do ! ! Love it !
Thank you!
Enthusiasa doesn't do well here in 7a NJ.
Mosh is called “ Lambs lettuce “ not lambs ear. Another name is “Corn salad “. It has a great ability to grow and naturalise wild right through the lean months. I’ve grown it here for 40 years down to minus 12 ! The one you called miners lettuce is called Purslane here ( in the uk ) Great list.
You're right on Lambs Lettuce I blew that one when I was filming this video and didn't realize it.
But Miners Lettuce (Claytonia) and Purslane are different plants. Claytonia is native to California and I doubt you have it in the UK, Purslane is a different plant and less hardy although still tasty.
I live in WA state US and around here we call it purslane too. I planted a few pkgs. of lamb's lettuce a few years ago and not it took off! And continues to grow every year though I do nothing to help it. I'm pretty impressed!👵😁👍
Purslane is different plant, it’s not another name for Miner’s lettuce. We have both plants here in California.
Love purslane
@@eileenduval9205NOT sure if you read the response from the man in the video BUT, That's what he said in his reply above - 2 different plants.
Try kale with fresh lime, too. YUM!
Cook kale with tomato.
8. Collyflower ( survives minus 12 in my gardens) same for 9. Broccoli & 10. Broadbean.
Cauliflower
Nothing worsebthan the internet spelling police bee...
I thought she was being cute. Lol
@@GigiTheBackyardHerbalist @Gigi the Backyard Herbalist Me too, I love to play around with words. We who are well learned and secure in our own intelligence in spelling like to laugh them up with funnier versions of the same sounds. Too bad the Always on Duty Spelling Officer here couldn't read between the lines and discern that Netty Abbott was just having a little fun with words. The hint was in the fact that she spelled broccoli correctly. Which to this day is one word that I always have to check my spelling on. Thx for "sticking up" for her. Now, I am off to have lunch with our municipality's Liberry Lady to see what children's books need to be ordered in Febrooairy! 😉

Broccoli... like Lauralli helps to spell it.👍
I'm in Southern NJ, zone 7a. Last year I planted Red Russian Kale and three plants survived the winter and gave me some leaves for salad and plenty of seeds. I plan to try a cold frame and I will use your recommendations.
A simple hoop house would work really well for kale as they get a little tall for most Cold frames. If you like curly leaf kale it is even more resistant to winter cold. Look for varieties like Winterbore or Vates.
Claytonia actually IS a big producer! It takes a while to get started, but once it does it’s cut-and-come again for quite a long time and it tastes great. I grew it this spring in dish pans with mache and baby gem lettuce and kept harvesting almost daily for several weeks.
Hmmm. . . Maybe I've just never given it enough time. Grows very slowly in the cold of my winter garden.
Yes, huge producer.
Leeks mature slowly (120 days), but are much sweeter when harvested after a good frost. Parsnip is another slow growing root crop. Parsnip are also sweeter after a frost. We are in zone 5b (last frost around May 18 and Fall frost Oct. 4).
My leek from last year came back this year and it's doing great, and I live in zone 4a. The kale did the same.
How you eat leek? I cooking with bacon, bean.... Be a nice soup. I'm a Taiwanese will love to find out other styles of cooking. Thanks!
@@lifenglai971 I prefer soup. I usually add potatoes, bacon, and sometimes sweet onions.
Thanks 👍
@@lifenglai971 They're good for breakfast too. A frittata of ham, leek, chilies and cheese. Side of hash - diced potatoes, leeks and red pepper fried in butter and bacon fat. Delicious.
Jerusalem artichokes do great over the winter, and will come up again in the spring,. You eat the tubers, which are under the ground. I harvest them in late fall, but some people harvest in winter. It freezes too hard in Minnesota to get them out of the ground in winter, but they probably would door great in southern states. To eat all winter long, put soil one inch thick in a five gallon bucket, layer tubers over soil, then repeat till bucket is full. Store in cool place such as a basement or garage, and dig up a tuber whenever you want one! Happy gardening!
Thanks for the info Jill, I've never grown Jerusalem Artichokes so I have zero experience with them.
My Elephant garlic is doing really well. I transplanted to a big flowering pot because of the beautiful purple round blooms in our landscaping. I didn't expect them to sprout so soon. Im excited to harvest.
Sounds great!
Salsify, leek, Brussels sprouts, yellow turnips, parsnip, winter radish, purslane. Cichory we seed early, the roots will be buried in soil in the winter. Crops will grow on top of the roots.
What zone are you in? I'm a 7b/8a
@@YairaSparkle Belgium,central Europe, don´t know exact which zone it is.
@@YairaSparkle The growing zone in Belgium ranges from 7b to 9a. Need to know the specific area in Belgium to narrow it down further. But it seems like your zone is close enough to work.
Other veggies can be pickled, mushrooms can be regrown, I'm about to figure things out by myself. Nuts can be preserved, cut to powder in the machine and turned in bread spreads or burgers. Mais can be used in the same way.
Don't forget to plant some pansies & violas. Pretty, edible flowers add to their beauty. Gotta have some flowers all year long!
Katie Kane I eat the leaves of violets also
@@edwardhsu2568 i like the tart seeds of oxalis but not too many, the oxalates will hurt your stomach.
Can you share the type of pansies and violas ?
I live in NW Pennsylvania. We have had snow for 3 weeks. Last night. (December9) I picked the last of my Brussel sprouts. So wonderful after a freeze!!!
And so fun to still be harvesting from your garden in December!! Thanks for sharing!
Good to know what to plant for the Autumn.
Spinach (raw), carrots & Parsley. Thanks for that info...
You're Welcome!
Thank you. I have had parsley all winter👍
Great list, thank you!
Thyme, oregano and chives are essentially perennial here in Maryland 7. Technically oregano is biennial but it self seeds so I never have to replant it. Thyme is also used as a deer deterring plant next to black eyed Susans, roses, and other deer snack flowers.
I didn't know that about Thyme and deer. Thanks for the info!
Turnups grow very well all fall and winter and radishes. I am in North Texas and had good crops of these. Also grew cabbage in fall and winter.
I've grown Turnips in the fall before, but never into the winter. Did the tops hold up against the freezing? Or did you just get the root to survive?
@@StoneyAcresGardening the tops held up as well and we did have freezes. Thanks
My turnips in California winter time always bloom flowers?
This video was very helpful & full of information! Thank you! The comments are a wealth of knowledge in their own rite!
Glad it was helpful!
Mizuna is my favorite. I think they planted on space station. It loved growing in Salt Lake City. I'm back in SW Washington state and I love it growing here. Just planted a mix in a raised bed. I think I'll throw in more seeds. Some more might fit.. Winter cauliflower is fantastic if you can find the seeds. Produces in the spring early enough to beat the insects. We planted quarter acre. It was amazing.
Thank you for a great video. I prefer greens all year, especially in winter.
That's awesome! Thanks for the ideas!
Cilantro - great for salsa in fall and winter. It will bolt in spring and summer.
It's funny isn't it since it's so much part of the culinary tradition of some very hot places?
@Johnnie Blackburn are you it is the Cilantro and not MSG?
Cilantro family.of parsley
Tacos with cilantro in it.
I like that you provide tips for growing in different zones. I tend to stay clear of gardeners up north who suggest that what they do will work for everyone.
Glad it was helpful!
i'm actually from canada and trying to find those videos. XD trade ya.
I know all seven, I have grown Kale for the wife, but I in zone 8a S.C., so I grow Collards instead of kale, there is beets, turnips, Cole plants 7 a few perennials vegetables. I agree some of these may not do well in zone 6, I am in zone 8a & only use a cold frame for tender seedlings in Spring. Good Video.
I live in Georgia and I'm growing radish, carrots, leaf lettuce, kale, collards, cabbage, beets, turnips, a late crop of winter and regular squash, tiny salad cucumbers, jalapeno peppers to over winter, nasturtium, hollyhocks to over winter (not to eat, just to get blooms next year), I started some spinach but its too early so I'm going to have to replant, chives, ginger to over winter, and garlic which I also planted too early and will have to replant when its cooler out. I live in an apartment so I can only do container gardening. Next year I will plan some of your suggestions when I decide what to plant.
Thank you I will try these in Alabama
Fabulous! Your location? Im near Jasper
When should I plant my spinach? Also are you direct seeding or doing starts and then transplanting the kale and lettuce ?
@@ggstorm9777 Hi! ... Central Alabama here!
Wow, this is great!! I can imagine what you will do with the peace of the garden/ land!! Good for you! Start a youtube channel, I am sure you will change lives!
I am in GA too, and love working on my garden.
I live in Salt Lake City (northern Utah). Winter 2021/2022, I left champion collards and January King cabbage in our yard, no protection at all. They showed some frost burn. It's now late April, the champion collards have been leafing all late winter / spring, and are now going to seed. The January King cabbage is developing a beautiful rose like center, perfect for eating.
Wow! That's awesome!
My claytonia reseeds itself each year here in zone 7, and I get very productive harvests in April and all of May or June, whenever the heat sets in. It's really delicious and kids love it too! I do find that it takes a long time to grow but once it starts producing flowers, I can't even eat all of it so I freeze some for future smoothies.
It doesn't seem to like our dry climate. I've grown it several times but never with steller results.
@@StoneyAcresGardening, Claytonia thrives in a humid climate.
I planted Bodacious corn seed April 1 st in the Midwest. Then when it was 7 inches high, we had 6 inches of snow. It pulled through, and all ears were large and tasted great.
bodacious is a great corn to gwow with the large ears and very sweet taste
I've never heard of that corn. Could I try to grow it in NC? Winters are pretty mild. Would love some seeds. TIA
GOODMORNING!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I found that my collards did amazing in the ice storm! of course covered!
That's good to know. I don't have a ton of experience with collards. I've only grown them a couple of times so it's good to know I can add them to my fall list.
@@StoneyAcresGardening YES! And they were babies when they survived!
Thank you. I may be too late but some of these I knew. I hope we have another opportunity to get these in the new garden next year.
You forgot collard green! They' re also do well in the winter. I have plenty of them in my garden in fort Worth tx.
Be blessed.
Thank you! You too!
I'm in zone 8. I was wondering about seed planting time too. Interested in beets chard spinach. I had fun luck with herb dill last year. It either was volunteer from late summer harvest that overwintered or started growing in winter! It grew over six feet tall. I have some beautiful seed heads that I am using decoratively that are at least 10-12 inches in diameter. It was so fragrant all summer! I hope to get more this year!
Spinach will survive winter and grow back in the spring, love it! 💘
i live in Colorado at 6,500' and i grow bok choy in the winter. it is so hearty! it survives sub zero temperature! i usually cover it- but it survives even when i forget
I have some going this fall that will be covered by a cold frame in another month or so.
Kuroda carrots do exceptionally well for harvesting during the winter months. I just finished harvesting the last of my winter carrots on March 1st. (zone 7b)Tender extra moist and wonderfully sweet fresh carrots and they roast well too. I have been finding some of the tinier potatoes I left in the ground that grew into nicer eating size potatoes, but they look so healthy that I am chitting them and plan to plant them for the 2022 season. I'm using a different planting area because of plant rotation otherwise I could have just left them in the ground.. I can up my extra potatoes in vitamin c water ( using pure distilled water) and use these canned potatoes for riced potatoes (sour cream and chives!) and pan fried potatoes with onions and bacon. I also roll them in a bowl with vegetable oil and then sprinkle with herbs and season salt and roast them until toasty. Purely organic and I know what they have been grown in and what has been used on them.
Awesome!
This will be my first attempt in containers w seeds🙏 thanks for the tips. Looking forward to it.
Glad I could help!
All of those and broccoli, too! The first time I grew broccoli in Pennsylvania I didn't get the beds cleared and ready for the next spring. Thought the broccoli was done, but I was able to harvest a good sized bunch several times a week, all winter. When I realized it wanted to live I put burlap around the plants when temps went below freezing. It was a combination of placement and proximity to a concrete wall that soaked up sun for a good part of the day. And, I saved the seeds. They will die off if not wrapped for freezing temps.
I've had broccoli over winter too. But it is hit an miss in our area, depends on what the winter is like.
Swedes are nice and sweet in winter, they improve with frost
Fantastic video. Good presentation. In other videos other people seem to jabber on and on. I appreciate the fact that you got right to it. Thank you. Look forward to watching your channel.
instablaster...
Totally agree with you ChickenGirlFarmer. Plus the fact that secondary to so many things in life that give us near instant to instant gratification, the average person's attention span has shrunk to 7 minutes or less. Much less if it is a topic that they have no interest in, but are required to learn. 😔
Cabbage, broccoli, kholrabi also are great cold weather crops...!
Thank you so much! this is so helpful, can't wait to start..
Glad I could help
Hey Guys! This week's Gardening Tip Video is more on Fall and Winter gardening. Learn my favorite 7 crops to plant in the fall that will survive frost and freezing temperatures. I hope you enjoy the video! Make sure you let me know what vegetables I left off the list and are your favorite to grow in the fall!
Lettuce is good at California's winter season, it last whole winter long.
ourstoneyacres
Thank you sir! I’ve asked many folks that question since I’ve moved here, but it seems they don’t want to share. That’s why I love TH-camrs! 👍🌻🙏❤️
No one ever mentions parsnips.
Vicki Takacs. Parsnips are good eating. it's a shame more folks don't grow and eat it.
some good plants here, thank you!
You're Welcome!!
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN TIPS
You're welcome
My daughter-in-law put a garden bed against the south-facing wall of her house in Chicago. We had brussel sprouts that were about 3 ft tall and still producing at first frost. We ate brussel sprouts all winter long that we picked from those big sturdy stocks. I don't think immature plants would do well, but the mature plants kept making sprouts and did beautifully.
It's amazing what a good south facing wall can do for you in the winter!!
I did a mixed radish seed packet a little late in the fall. The round red radishes were woody the following spring but the long white radish(probably related to French breakfast) was very tasty in the spring. Zone 5/6
I've never tried overwintering radishes. I will have to give that a try! Thanks for the idea.
Uh
Many in the cabbage family tolerate freezing and taste better with freezing. Brussel sprouts definitely improve. My best broccoli was grown in winter.
Except for carrots I have grown all those including the Mache and claytonia. My favorite is Tatsoi, super productive I even grow it in my house. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kale any variety. Escarole, common sorrel are both producers. No one mentions Jerusalem artichokes the best set it and forget it crop there is. Brussels sprouts, beets, collards, radish, turnips, onions, garlic, and good king Henry and more Winter has become my favorite growing season... NO BUGS LOL
I shovelled someone's walkway in March a few years back and found a perfect kale plant UNDER the snow that had survived a couple of weeks of -40 Celcius...mother nature is resilient!
Wow! That's impressive!
I have that kale grown at home is totally different than what you buy in the store
That's the beauty of growing your own food! So many more varieties!!
In Georgia, we can grow turnip's collards and cabbage really well. And I love them. But maybe next year I will try kale too. Thanks for the info
I have no talent for gardening,but I can grow kale.. spring planting and fall.. it really does good here in mid Georgia
I live North West ga. Man I tell you Swiss chard goes crazy in my garden. I pick the outer leaves and it just keeps on going much through winter. And you can't hardly get them to die. My cows loved them. Thank goodness they didn't go to waste.
Cilantro survive very well in winter. I live in GA
@@donnamichaelgolelswholesom385 My husband and I both planted Chard and it grew so much that I ended up pulling out a bed of it to grow something else. I was juicing it, sauteing and using it in soup and salads. It overwinters and keeps on going. 🥬🥬
@@user-hm9ti2zu4j We have to cover all our new seedlings with wire to keep the critters out.
Awesome, I have 3 on the list in my garden now in Zone 6B; Kale, Swiss Chard and Parsley. So far THEY ARE SURVIVING IN temperatures in the low 30's and high 20's.
Very nice!
Cabbage! I always try to get a fall crop in and it keeps outside for a very long time almost into February. ALso turnips and radishes do very well in fall and like carrots get sweeter. Happy gardening!
Thanks for the tips!
Georgia collards have so far lasted until almost February in zone 7. We have had plenty of hard freezes and snow. Slow growing, but still growing on my south slope.
Very cool! We are just a little too cold for collards to make it through the winter. Ours lasted until about mid December before they finally gave out.
yay!! i have georgia collards. i am looking forward to having them overwinter outside in zone 6a
Fava beans are a great cold weather crop an are delicious!
Zone 4 here. Brussels sprouts. In nov and even into dec, I have gone and brushed the snow off my plants to harvest the little buggers! And the freezing temps make them taste superb! If you leave chard in and have planted them thickly in a bed, in the spring they start growing early and you can get a harvest b4 you even get your gargen preped! Turnips and turnip greens. The turnips of course you leave in the ground until AFTER a good HARD frost to sweeten them or they will be bitter but the greens are a great LATE fall/early winter crop of fresh greens. Loved this video. I dont like kale but in the comments ppl mentioned drying them and adding them to foods to enrich the nutritional value. Awesome idea... thanks!
Those are all great ideas! Thank you!
Kale is delicious! Cooking with butter and garlic - wow, so good.
Hi thanks for sharing, mine are garlic, collard, mustard, turnips greens
Mustard, I forgot about Mustard, that's a good one!
@@StoneyAcresGardening I'm in zone 6. Last year I planted collards I let them over winter. Could not believe they were like soldiers standing.
Mizuna is another cold hardy green that is productive in my zone 7 garden. I've seeded it as late as November under a cold frame and though nothing grows quickly in the winter here, mizuna grows the fastest for me.
I have been wanting to try Mizuna for a while now. It's one of the few winter greens I haven't tried. Thanks for the suggestion.
January 24th Fort Worth, Texas, my Curry plant is doing well as well as Rosemary & Sage.
Thank you for the info! 😊 I LOVE kale...
You are so welcome!
I love that you mention cold frames or hoop houses planting. This is first year with one, and I want to get stuff out early but Im afraid....you help soooo much
We love our cold frames and hoop houses!!
