In addition to chard and peas mentioned below, recommend you also add arugula to your lettuces!
Cool
I’m also in a cold climate . I started my beets , chard and spinach indoors , and they’re tiny sprouts under grow lights . We’ve been having snow all week , and expected next . When should I harden them off and plant them outside ? Our last expected frost date is May 31 , though we can have frost anytime throughout the summer . ( high desert climate )
I wish you had a pdf or something on all this info. When to plant, when not to plant, companions, etc.
Suggestion: front load your videos. What I mean by this is. Just list the 5 seeds you can grow in snow. Then, if people actually like you, they will stay around to watch the other stuff you have to say in the video. My background. Teacher…science…Masters in Education (Intrinsic motivation). 😉 I would even leave the list of the 5 on the top from left to right. We see first. Then hear. Next we learn. Great video. Excellent information! I just want to help other be more successful especially due to the current times.
you talk to much…
This is awesome. I’m in the Bay area so it’s good to know what I can put out March1st.
I wish you would write what month it is in your description.
So so helpful thank you for sharing and always love new seeds to try.
Thank you! I’ve been watching videos like this for a couple years. Thank you for this valuable information. I have beet seeds for micro greens. With this new information, I’ll plant some in my garden box. ( 9 boxes altogether) I’ve learned what to plant in the boxes that don’t get full sun all day. All could be life saving in the long run. I ask someone how long should I prepare for. I was told to prepare for as long as it will take to grow enough to sustain you. God bless us.
In my forty years if experience I have never known a variety of purslane to germinate in cool weather. The native purslane that grows in my area needs 80 degrees or higher in order to germinate. I am not saying that there is not a variety that germinates in cold weather, just that I have never heard of it before and am skeptical.
Bro your phrasing and style is a second rate ripoff of my boy James P. Get your own intro!
Can I germinate them inside first? Or is that not advisable because the seeds got used to warm at the first stage of their life 😂? But seriously…is it ok?
I’m getting ready to have my first vegetable garden. I’m 62! It’ll be in a small porch in containers in a big city. Thanks for the demo on sowing.
I hate carrots! I appreciate them as a part of a soup stock, but raw they are dry, tasteless, too hard, and a classic diet vegetable because noone want to eat them. Northern Europeans who have limited options, grow this vegetable historically, and consistently. They also grow beets and potatoes or other root veg, that’s fine. Some have flavor. Carrots are tasteless. It’s like eating any corm you come across, some are good, most are bland and not what anyone would eat long term. I’m pretty sure that the reason anyone grows them is that they’re hardy, considered nutritional, but not for flavor.
The best reason to grow this vegetable is because along with celery and onion it’s a great way to make a stock.
Wow. It’s hard to imagine "too much moisture." We don’t have that problem in Western U.S. gardens! 🙂
Snow on the ground… So how are you supposed to work your beds with a foot of snow/ice on the ground? You repeated plant with snow on the ground several times…ground is frozen. 🤦♀️ misleading title and instruction. ☹
I don’t see snow.
German Giant radishes sometimes make it all the way through winter. Mustard plants are also cold hardy.
You should put a caveat in your presentation. Sure all those seeds will germinate at 40 F soil temp. BUT… “OPTIMUM” temps are 25+ degrees more. With carrots at even the optimum or close to the optimum temp, and up to 21 days for germination… seeds are getting too expensive to take a chance on trying early planting.
Getting ready to plant early spring garden items and found your video in a search for info on this. Thank you for a quick and straight to the point video.
Late Winter and Early Spring snow acts like an insulator for your cool weather crops. As long as their are no ice crystals inside the soil then its all good. 👍
Get your seeds over at http://www.MIgardener.com for just .99 per pack! We just put a bunch back in stock and more to come this week.
I can understand planting and by chance having late cold weather or a frost affect them. But I can’t understand why you would go ahead and plant them having to use 2 to 3 times the normal seeds you would have to use. Why not just wait a couple more weeks or a few weeks and and plant them with the one or two seeds
What types of beets are there
Glad I found it channel. I plan on planting next wk. Well condition soil them plant. My radishes have died the 2 other X’s I planted in May. So I’ll be doing those, lettuces, spinach and Swiss chard. I live in IN close to MI. Ty
Highly acidic soil also promotes fungal growth, so definitely take that into account. Of your local soil is a spodosol or overall deciduous alpine forest soil, it’s probably very acidic, and has a leached horizon. The soil will actually prevent bacterial issues but fungi will just immediately fill in that niche. So keep that into consideration that you might have to lime your soil to prevent fungal growth.
Can these seeds be planted now zone 5b in a GreenStalk? (Chicago area).
I appreciate this episode very much. You motivate me to get to work in the garden. Thank you very much 🥬
If you live in az disregard the moisture comments. We have 0% humility in February
I live way up north, took your advice and planted all 7 of your recommendations on March 2, 2022. Spinach sprouted right away, but everything else just sprouted this week, May 5.
What about turnips and parsnips- don’t those also do well in cold weather? Peas too, but I suspect those would have to wait until the danger of only a light frost.
What zone are you in and when is your last and first frost?
This early sowing I just learned about. Do you need to protect from freezing?
Hmmm? Purslane freezes easily, but it also comes up on its own volunteer. It must be pretty smart.
Beautiful. Just planted most everything you have mentioned out in the poly high tunnel today. Now wishing I’d planted 25% more seeds. Should be fine thought. 70-90 degrees daytime temps when vented. Perfect…
Seed onions do well in the cold too
I’m in Ontario next door, 44*North so I appreciate what you say as it applies to me, too.
I love purslane. I cant believe you have seeds for it. I couldn’t get rid of it if I tried, which I don’t lol.
If I’m going to lose 25 to 50% of the seeds to mold and mildew by planting them out so much earlier, it seems to me as though the diminishing returns makes this is a bad idea
I just planted a whole bunch of radishes in my raised beds on the 2nd anniversary of this video. I am in Cheyenne, Wyoming (zone 5b). It was about 60F when I planted them, but it snowed overnight and we are expecting temperatures <below zero> Fahrenheit this week. Will my radish seeds survive such temperatures?
What about gardens in Canada were I live
I love purslane too. It’s yummy
you talk way way too much! you say the same thing, over and over and over again. UGH! BYE
so how often should one water the seeds? I imagine during the day?
Would you suggest using a soil acidifier to help fight the mold & mildew
Can’t plant anything when there is snow on the ground and 2 inches of ice under the snow!
Good and informative video Luke …I enjoyed it.🙂
I’m documenting hemp I’m breeding that sprouts with snow on the ground and sprouts can survive freezing weather below 15 degrees farenheit. Mine sprouted March 15th in Massachusetts. This is the second year and I only breed with those that sprout jnt the snow.
