I planted seeds directly and kind of late, =( will certainly start my seeds a lot earlier for my future winter gardening here in Georgia..but thanks as always for your great info..=)) planted collards,pak choy,brocolli,sugar snap,spinach..and a few others..

I had no idea you could grow a garden in the winter. I will definitely be trying it out this winter. Thank you for the information!

John, beginner gardener here. You mentioned rock dust. Is there more than one type?
-
John this is off-topic but I can't find the video where you talked about DE. Now I bought a bag at Home Depot and got it home - it talks about killing critters and sounds like it might be toxic to use on my veg garden. Please either refer me to your advice or e-mail me at thecinnamonlady@msn.com. Thanks!

Wow....I remember when you planted those tree collards. Where do you suggest I purchase those. I would love to have a little collard forest like yours ;)

Time. If I plant lettuce today, it will take a few weeks to get to the point where they are TODAY if I buy them. It IS getting colder here and days shorter (less light), and with the cold comes less growth. I want to be able to eat sooner rather than later. TRUE, if I planned it better I could have started them in the greenhouse, but Im pretty much a one-man show here... I did have an eposide on buying vs starting seeds where I explain this.. check it out..

I cant wait to see if you are right about that tree kale mine is purple like the one you have and i bought it in palo alto ca. I laughed about the guy getting a little pissed off when you questioned him, glad to see im not the only one who has ran into that situation buying plants/trees. Places thought i was nuts asking for their rock dust , and thought i was a idiot for purchasing a filter for my drip line. Sometimes you just gotta do what you know is right for yourself.

I had the video showing harvesting, and I have been dehydrating the seeds.. yummm.. You can also eat the flesh. (or juice it)
-
The Santa Rosa Farmers Market.. on Wed and Sat.. Kinda far to drive... Im sure a local nursery would have some good starts.
-
I have grown wheat before (for fun). It was fun to eat FRESH wheat kernals. I do grow wheatgrass in trays in the greenhouse sometimes. I think that its easier to buy wheat than to grow it.. I encourage people to grow things that would be expensive to buy, such as mache in the winter time.. Unless you just want to grow it for fun!

I have the green tree collard you just bought and I have had them for a year. I did not pay 25.00. Centrose nursery in southern california. I think I gave you the nurseries name previous. I got the purple and green ones there.

Hmm...something tells me although the winters are chilly here on the central plateau, sometimes we may dip below 35°F, but usually its cool, some frosts present,...gonna try my hand at growin' these veggies,...thumbs up to ya good buddy and thankin' ya for another AWESOME UPLOAD!! =D
-
Have you ever considered growing wheat? I live in Northern California (pretty close to you) and I was wondering how it would grow here.
-
try azomite. c o m for retailers near you.
-
That's on "The List" to do... So many things to do!
-
thats good to know im from the South Texas were you buy rock dust?
-
Yes, you should be able to grow in South Texas in the winter. Northern Texas gets colder. Check the USDA hardiness map
