I put a row cover over new beds and leave it there until the seeds germinate and the plants grow a little. They don't seem to dig through the row cover. My problem isn't real bad either since I'm in a

I remember growing up in an Italian family the old Italians would eat dandelion and some other wild plants that slips my memory now. I also remember my uncle taking me mushroom hunting. They would only

We eat so many salads I haven't even cooked any yet but that day will come.

I just cut around a quarter or a third off the top and gently spread the top open and ram some parsley and garlic into it. Then plenty of salt and some pepper and poor EVOO over the top and boil/steam

I love artichoke. I steam them with olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Yum!

It probably isn't necessary to do too much to strawberries but I go a little overboard sometimes. I think a little fertilizer once or twice a year is good and mulch or compost allows the runners to root

Berries and herbs have to be kept under control for sure.

Thank you! No I do not have a greenhouse but wish I did. I have grow lights in my basement but only use them to get plants started for my garden.

Good videos. Fun to watch what other people are doing. What kind of raspberries do you grow? They look a little different from my conventional red berries.

Congratulations Chef!

I have problem with white flies every year now starting in July. Last year I sprayed aggressively with neem as soon as I noticed them which helped somewhat. But I agree once they get established you're

Nice setup. Enjoy!

I never grew grapes but it looks like fun. Do you get enough grapes to make wine?

Check the PH level of your soil. Blueberries like acidic soil so I would start with a mix of peat moss if you can get it along with compost and top soil. Then mix some form acidifier to get your PH level

That's too bad. I know this rain is crazy. I'm in SEPA and my garden is screaming for some sun and warmer temps.

Awesome setup you have. I'm across the river from you in SEPA and have a big raised bed garden. I don't have room for anymore berries but thanks for offering free plants to everyone.

Nice pictures. I'm just a regular gardener not a homesteader but I'm trying to expand my skills in saving seeds. I saved some last year so we'll see how they germinate this year.

Looks good. I tried kale chips once but didn't turnout to well. Maybe I'll try potato chips when mine start coming in.

Hang in there chef and checkout my garden pictures to help you through the winter.

I understand. If you go into my blogs you can at least look at pictures of a vegetable garden :)
