Hi! great video! thank you for sharing! I live in Chile, so your winter is my summer. I looked for this calculator for spring planting, but didn't find it. Did you make one? Right now my tomatos are starting to put out little tomatos, so I think I'm too late to plant a lot things, but maybe I'm in time to plant some year round crops?
A calculator for spring planting would really help :)
Thank you for sharing! I've been watching your videos and learning a ton!

How does this doc work with no frost date? I'm in FL zone 10 and I am confused as to when I should start or stop most crops other than I will general do cold weather crops in fall and winter and warm weather in spring and summer. But some guide dont have me planting spinach, kale, and onions till Jan - Feb but from what I see for most everyone else they are planting now. Is it because I will have a much better grow session/conditions than other areas it will take less days to mature? I'm wanting to trying to do what you are doing with a continuous harvest. I am wondering if I were to plant my plants close together if they would provide enough of a shelter for each other to keep getting yields from them. Thanks for you help :)

Thanks Great video, Please provide the link to download the tool.

Very well done video. I was considering buying some hoops and plastic covering.. now this will convince me to proceed. Thank you for your vital information. Just one question, however. What length are those hoops you use... the larger ones... and also the smaller ones... and what thickness of plastic sheets do you use.

Very helpful thank you

I've save this callender, it's awesome! Thank you very much xx

Another awesome video. Thank you for sharing these tools Patrick!

Have you ever sautéed radishes in olive oil? they take on a really sweet different flavor

Thank you for all of the good information. I will watch this video! And thank you for so freely sharing all of your knowledge and experience! I have told many of my friends about your youtube videos because you have the answers for our garden zone. You are changing the way my husband and I garden...working towards a do less or do nothing garden! Thank you!!

Oh thank you!!
That is encouraging.....is it possible to simply put them into the compost bins or garden beds INSTEAD of doing the whole worm bin thing?

My first frost date is mid September...Yikes :-D

Thank you, but do the ones in the garden make it through the winter? We are in the same zone as you, so you know how very cold it can be, and I have read that you have to keep them above 50 degrees (or something like that I think). Do they stay warm enough under the compost?

Hey is that the chinese noodle bean @ the 4:00 mark!?

Lots of good info I love the green wall you were standing in front of .

Hello!
I am interested in your composting worms.
Are you raising them in bins still, or just in your garden beds now that your garden is in this wonderful state of good health?
Would you be willing to do a video on raising worms?
(Or have you done one and I have just missed seeing it?)
Thank you for considering these questions!
