Glad to see your perspective of food. Adopting and adjusting different foods from different cultures.
Vegetarian Ghorme Sabzi would be interesting.
Well done nice garden... -
hey there we are vegetarian gardeners too, one thing is that red veined sorrel is a medicinal plant and can be toxic at large quantities like in the photo here. you only want about 1 leaf max per person
-
Wow, glad I came to see this video. The wooden bracing you have for your green houses PVC is done perfectly in my mind. Thanks again!
-
my hubby wants you to help him with the construction! he thinks you are a carpenter, he's an electrician says he'll loan you one of his 3 benders!lol
-
Those meals look so good, love your channel :) Thanks!
-
Ok I'm hungry now, great recipes! that green house is paying off well I see!
-
Great harvest, Patrick! I didn't realize you are vegetarian. We are vegetarians too and love the fresh produce from the garden. Keep those great videos coming! Happy Gardening!!

I'm also in Zone 5 and like you, do the two layer protection - polytunnel/hoop house over cold frames - for my cold hardy crops. But unlike Chicago, we don't get snow (just bitter cold) so we miss out on the insulation factor of the white stuff. Have you ever tried to get artichokes to survive the winter there without having to bring them inside the house? I'm thinking of putting a cold frame inside my HF greenhouse, along with two or three 35 gal black barrels filled with water as a thermal mass, covering the artichokes with straw in the cold frame, and then adding an additional covering of a frost blanket or two over the straw covered plants when then temps dips to the minus 2-digit temps. Have you tried anything similar to this or heard of anyone else doing so that it kept it warm enough at night to keep the artichokes alive through the winter without resorting to actually heating the greenhouse? I wouldn't normally go through all this faff, but I really like artichokes. BTW, February is usually our coldest month of the year.

Nice harvesting and love how you are growing in the winter months. :)

Nice one Patrick! It's been a long time, too long. After a long break from the garden I'm back in there. My sleep pattern is so chaotic it is untrue. I caused a car accident recently and think that this is another reason why I should stop driving a car. The main reason is I really cannot afford to run one but there are other factors in my decision too. I must admit that I am very anxious about going without a car - how on earth will I transport sufficient quantities of materials to my compost heaps and I have six heaps now! Can you imagine? How many people can boast that they have six compost heaps Patrick? Must do an update soon as I can tell that you and many, many others are dying to see my six compost heaps! Gawd bless each and every one of you and may he giveth you the patience you needeth to wait for my next updateth.

Thanks for posting some recipes. I have always wished gardeners shared more of how they use their product. You can bet I will be checking out this vid again as I grow the same stuff as you largely. Mache first time here this spring. You take the hoop house down in later spring? I see Oscar (hope that's still him) likes the warm outdoor digs :) You sure have a great channel Patrick. I told my neighbour SL you would do well and I was right!

Is that you playing guitar at the end of the video? I thought I saw a guitar in one of your prior vids and you've made mention of having a recording studio....it's beautiful, relaxing music. thanks
-
I gotta chuckle! I was out there spraying our dandelion weeds in the yard with 20% vinegar/orange oil/soap when I should have been harvesting them for some din-din! Seriously...Your dishes look so fantastic, kudos on that. Your hoop house is awesome. I have this thought ingrained in my head--It's easier to protect plants from the cold than from the heat. You are the master of your backyard universe!

Some wonderful crops rhere. I've never had those meals before but possibly being a meat eater, veggies always are an addition rather than the main. Great update.
-
Seems like the tunnel and frames work well together Do you think it would be worth supplementing the light in the darkest months?. 4 hours or so even better if it was solar.
Congrats on the success with the tunnel. -
nice video well put together

Beautiful my friend, harvests and dishes! We had one of the mildest winter ever recorded, rain today, we usually get
20 to -30 C at this time of year, not much snow on the ground which is making me worried since it's our secret weapon for insulating tender plants ;) -
just want to say thanks for everything you have done for me i wanted to give up but one tomato change that then the cucumbers i got along with the watermelons gave me hope. now i wish i had something to plant to run mosquito lol
