hey in this episode I'm going to be sharing with you guys my November garden and uh what I can
plant today this is the second week in November we're two weeks away from Thanksgiving stay tuned
thank you
hello welcome back to Pine Meadows hobby Farm I'm your host Jerry Hansen I wanted to invite you guys
into my garden uh this month November because I vowed to myself I will try to plant something
and grow something and harvest something every month this year in my garden now I live in zone
eight we live in Southwestern Oregon but we're at 2 000 foot elevation up in the Cascade Mountains
so this which you see is what I got from my garden will go through each item uh here uh
shortly but I want to share with you guys some of the items you can plant now or start in the
greenhouse now and later move out and some of these items I already have in my garden so we got
cauliflower beet Kohlrabi kale broccoli lettuce radish bok choy carrots and cabbage to name a
couple of them that I can grow right here in my climate in my region at Pine Meadows hobby Farm
now last night we just had our first Frost of the Season it got down to uh 29 degrees so I went and
set my heater in the greenhouse to medium to make sure my tender plants that I'm growing in
there wouldn't die because I am growing I moved some bell peppers in there you can pop those and
move them into indoors for the winter months and Transplant them outside a next growing season yep
Tomatoes you could do the same thing with that so I do have a tomato plant growing in there and
I have two zucchini squash growing in there so I'll be able to harvest something throughout the
winter months from the greenhouse so I'm going to share a little bit about a little bit of something
here here's potatoes yeah keep that covered when this plant completely dies off because
we had our first Frost last night that's what's killing the plant once it's completely died off
we'll go ahead and harvest the potatoes probably in another week or two and then I'll store them
in my pantry which is a cool dark place you got to protect those spuds from the Sun that is my only
cauliflower that I planted and it's growing but over here I have some brussels sprouts
over here I have rainbow Swiss chard you can harvest the leaves and just keep growing you can
plant this once I've had harvested Swiss chard for three years from the same plant and then here's
my gar here's my carrots this was an experiment I planted those carrots indoors last uh last winter
these are a year old almost a year old and of course when you're planting in your garden
especially this time of year you want to make sure you mulch it really good to protect the
seeds from freezing and also draws in the moisture here's some peas I got going in
I started those when we had still had a little bit of heat so they took off and they're growing
really good and kale is another plant I removed all the leaves on the bottom and then the tops
just exploded so kale is one of those plants you can Harvest year round from the same kale
and I'm gonna see how long I can Harvest from these plants how many years over here we've got
more peas we've got turnip we've got radish and just a few things took root and grew and
then I've got my comfrey right here and look at we still got Flowers In Bloom that's insane got
some flowers over here I think the frost is finally sent them bye-bye and check this out
strawberries weird got some lettuce
and turnips and then here's some more lettuce
so you're probably thinking there's not much in my garden well there's a heck of a lot more in here
than there were in years past because this is the first time I've ever grown and harvested anything
in the late fall and throughout the winter we're gonna see how far into the winter we got I'm going
to take you guys into the greenhouse and show you the explosion of growth in there this is epic
now last night I came out and turned the heater on because I noticed the temperature in here uh
was I have a little transmitter that transmits the temperature into my desk and I noticed the
temperature was getting down to the freezing level so I came out and turned the heater up
and right now it's 61 degrees in here and with the Sun out and the clouds clearing up I may be
able to just to turn the heater down a little bit in fact I'll go ahead and turn it down
I'll turn it off and just monitor the temperature from my desk as you can see
we're ready to harvest this is masculine I've got flowers growing in here these
are Marigolds because I want flowers you know it's just to see if I can grow them in winter
months I've got radish over here and guess what radish tops are edible don't throw those away
cook them up and eat them there's a lot of micronutrients in it you don't want to waste
waste not what not of course over here we've got lettuce more lettuce because we eat a lot
of solids and then we got spinach growing I can start harvesting this stuff now just
coming out and daily and just start trimming back and check out up here yeah I got something to add
that blue cheese to that I got award-winning blue trees from the local Blue Cheese Factory
yeah the one best in the world for their blue cheese there is that tomato I was telling you
about yeah just pick up a tomato plant transplant it in a pot bring it indoors and it'll produce
tomatoes for you and this this is my pepper plant still growing still producing a peppers
and then over here I've got kale are they down there that's what I told you about my zucchinis
so I don't think we're gonna go hungry anytime soon not not with uh all of the vegetables I'm
growing right here uh in the yard right now and also the native Edibles that I can go out and
harvest just off the environment the acorns are dropping from the trees right now so there's a
source uh there's a lot nobody has any excuse to go hungry plus there's Wildlife that abounds
around here anyway I want to thank you guys for sharing this little uh update with me I have uh
