Hi Tom ! I just found your channel ! ( Yay ! ) We are in Pueblo so watching your vids has been a delight ! Have you tried Aunt Mollies Ground Cherries yet ? - They grow SO crazy prolifically here and LOVE our warm weather months - very sweet and fun to pop open from their shells - they always self sow ( but are also easy to remove if you don't want them someplace ) - GREAT for winter pies and fresh eating ! I'd suggest indoor starts as they're slow to get started - my neighbors are growing these too ! .... But they are naturally low-growing, so I'd suggest grow some in mid size pots up on a ledge, to save your back Love your channel and vids !

Wow those carrots are huge! On the dill...can you cut, collect and hang that to dry? Or will all the seeds fall out during the drying process? I like that bean trellis, looks very sturdy. Great tip on end of season tomatoes to pull the blossom off...I never thought about that. Question: you talked about cutting back the kale and there would be regrowth...does that apply to cabbage as well? If you cut a head of cabbage off will the plant regrow another?

On the dill... I usually clip the heads right before they are dry enough to shatter on their own, and shake them inside a paper bag. Then dry the seeds on a plate in a windowsill for a week or so. Perfect dill seed for cooking etc. On the cabbage question, they only produce the one cabbage head. Once you pull that, the plant is done, and for storage you would usually pull it up by the root for the cellar. It will actually stay alive for months if re-planted in sand in a humid cellar environment. Even if cabbage could grow second head, we wouldn't have the growing time since I only get about 110 days, which is just about enough to get a cabbage to full maturity.

I think you are covering too much material at one time. My brain is full! Maybe consider doing more videos (separate) on each of the subjects you have covered here.
