THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Good morning Danny and Wanda! Before the freeze, I watched y’all cover all your plants, then covered my garden the same way. I picked as many greens as I could, and I pulled my green tomatoes (for salsa verde.) I’m proud and grateful to tell you that all of my cabbage, carrots, turnips, spinach, Brussels and kale made it through! My broccoli looks a little worse for wear, but I think we salvaged about 2/3 of it.
Y’all are good teachers and a blessing to those of us who watch you. Thank you!
Good morning
✝️❤️🥰
I’m always up early. While the household is asleep, Wanda &Danny drop me early vids to greet me. Thank You. 😘
The tomatoe that wasnt hurt, has the fern protecting its feet. Cover around the roots as well as tarp the tops.
Danny, I live in Northern Ohio. When I worked at a local garden center, we always fully watered all the plants before covering them when a frost was expected. It really helps the plants fight the cold, believe it or not. All your brassicas would have done fine with a good watering beforehand. You will find them to be sweeter after a frost, as well.
Back in the day they covered their trees and set foot tubs of coals under the cover to keep the fruit trees from freezing in cold spring.
Western Colorado here and covered in 4 inches of snow. Yesterday we decided to dig some carrots as with the snow it had warmed a bit. Low and behold our carrots snuggled in the deep earth we just as sweet and crisp as could be. Just another testament to never give up on something . I think I’ll go out and dig the leftover fall radishes to see what they yield.
Good to see the carrots 🥕 still looking good
You lovely folks are amazing. Thank you!
All the hard work that You and Wanda did trying to protect your crops really paid off. The Lord still Blessed you all Bountifully. Here in Ft. Washington, MD, we got a deep freeze for only one day, Praise God! All of our crops still survive.
SW MO. Was sick with Covid & other related issues over the negative temps. Did the best we could, some things made it, some didn’t. All the animals made it ok, so blessed for that.
That tomato is amazing!
11F was our bottom out excitement here. Everything I could cover, stayed covered for about a week, because it didn't get much above 40F the whole time. I also doubled the layers over some beds/plants, but heavy frost clothes mostly instead of all tarps. Have been trying to acquire a large collection of frost clothes because of the weather cycle we've been heading into last handful of years. Almost have enough now for everything to even get triple layers, next time if needed. Could be anytime now. lol
Fuzzy kiwi's, young olives and non-adapted spinach got triple layers. Our lettuces, onions, all the assorted brassicas, out of season growing confused herbs & bulbs, heavy budding blueberries, etc, all got one to two layer, and sailed through. In amongst the single layers or blankets were also the carrots, broccoli heads, and garlic. Most everything did really well, even the edge nipped stuff (same as what I'm seeing on yours) bounced right back. Drooping stuff soldered on, but seemed weaker to pests in Jan/Feb.
The one new banana however, was the casualty. Started out with triple layers trying to cover it without being right on the leaves. The winds pulled a section up and open during the worst night. Naturally right in the worst freeze path direction too. What should have been a dormant plant was also actively growing new leaves. Strawberries and kale just got heavily mulched with a fall leaf and straw mix, because I was out of even blankets to spare. Some of each got uncovered from wind, and didn't look that different from covered ones, two weeks later. Didn't cover the green onions, not even with mulch, and they got hit hardest I've ever seen. Mushy yuck all the way down, except the ones protected by building walls. At least the roots that make more are pumping out a ton of new ones already.
Tart lemons, grapefruits, limes, aloe, fragile herbs and overwintering peppers did ok (peppers had to be cut back after), mulched and covered in the garage. Crammed up against the house wall and water heater. My guess was maybe 5 days with drying cold and no water didn't help those that ended up drooping. However, those five days were all about tending to the water pipes and humans not getting too chilled. Hadn't realized we didn't have much in the way of real winter bedding or clothes.
Just not normally an issue here in South Carolina. lol I wore layers of full skirts and tops which kept the core warm, but grabbing/punching ice, and things with only my leather work gloves was not sufficient. We now own more winter wool socks, hats, shawls and winter gloves. ;) Still don't have our spring potatoes in. Getting late, I know, but those are always tricky to get through freezes without fully re-growing their tops.
Reminder to save seeds from those odd plants that didn't get nipped as hard. This is why I avoid bought hybrids as much as possible. The only way I get winter lettuce, chard, and so on, is from seed adapted to these recent years. Potatoes still haven't quite gotten the message, but they are only a few years in. Although I wonder if I should separate fall potato seeds, from our spring stock of seeds. Fall potatoes have to be really heat tolerant, but there is also frost and freezes then too. Hm.
I put Christmas Christmas lights not the led kind but the bulb they put off enough heat to keep it from freezing
I’m so thankful that you had a success at saving your food. Congratulations. Stay warm,loving and positive. K from Michigan
ITHINK WHEN THARE WATERED THEY WILL BE OKAY, WAY TO GO 👍✝️
The carrots are beautiful
When I've had 3 or 4 bigger tomato plants and had to cover them up, I've had good luck with heating a couple of bricks as hot as I could handle in gloves and putting them on the ground, under the cover, off to the side, for sure not touching the plant. The warm bricks give just that little bit extra heat that rises up into the tent of the cover.
You can eat the carrot leaves, I just steamed mine
Cut a cross into the top of cauli, broccoli 🥦 and cabbage stalks and more with grow
In the country of central Georgia It got down to 8 degrees and killed the lemon and satsumas. UFLA extension says the core could survive, to give them a chance to leaf out this spring to give them a chance before pulling them out. Our collards wilted, but came back! Little lettuce and beet sprouts survived. We did all we could to save the citrus, covering them and putting a light bulb under the tarp. They sure look dead to us, but maybe the core made it. We will see this spring.
Wow, what a great job you both did on protecting plants!
I got as excited as you both did when revealing the veggies that survived!
❤❤❤ the way you and Wanda talk about your beautiful garden. 👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏
My carrots are doing well. Here in SoCal I grow them with light frost fabric.
I don't know where I heard this but I heard if you heavily water your plants it will not kill your plants if a freeze comes. Nancy from nebraska
Our cover crop of winter wheat on our 30x70 ft garden did fine with the 4 below zero temps of the arctic invasion here in Berea, Kentucky. It's growth slows down in the winter, but it comes right back in early spring. We mow it about 2 to 3 weeks before we start planting anything in early May. Enjoy your videos! Happy New Year!
I LIVE kumquat jelly! Even at 28*F for several nights in Florida, my OKRA survive and is blooming and producing again. Okra usually doesn't survive under 65*F. God beat the weather warfare. God is good, all the time!
In the north , I am from Michigan, when we have a frost, if you take a hose and wash off the ice crystals before the sun hits the plants. That prevents the leaves from getting Frost bit. This is what we do in the north. Maybe someone knows the physics behind this, but it works. Hope this helps.
Wanda I will tell you that in my Phoenix AZ garden I never cover my broccoli, the leaves and the head turn a little purple and taste sweeter. It has gotten down to 19 degrees F. Cauliflower has to be covered it just won't hold up it is the wimpy member of the cabbage family. Sue
Beautiful collards❤️❤️❤️
Nice mustard greens. Broccoli greens too. So nice. God is good.
Fantastically looking tomato. Lovely!
GOOD MORNING MR DANNY AND MS WANDA 🤗
In AZ. when there is a freez coming in, we have wells around the trees, and we water them because the water gives off heat for the trees. also a fan to move the air. But you are in a different climate and it may not work in your area.
Good morning. The joy coming from both of you for what made it thru this evil cold snap actually brought me tears of joy. You never get upset you always come back with more positivity that always overrides any negativity in all situations. I love this channel.
Good morning thanks
I’m right there with this comment. I think that tomato plant that lived in the green house with the fern helped each other insulate compared to the ones that had nothing growing underneath. I live in Glynn county in Ga y’all have inspired me to keep my gardening journey going.
I caged my small citrus trees like you did and fill those with oak leaves. Our lows were 21 F, just a few leaves near the edge froze. I put my bananas, cassava and papayas in my garage and then built a wooden frame around them and stapled 4x8 sheets of foil backed Styrofoam to the frame and then put a heat lamp inside. I built a plywood enclosure around my two avocados and put heat lamps inside those.
Another CZcamsr in North Carolina uses C9 incandescent Christmas tree lights for heat. Home Depot had theirs on sale for $7.50 each, I ordered 20. Should have doubled that.
-8 for us in SC MO Friday,23rd. -4 Saturday, 24
Well Danny and Wanda look like your hard work paid off
Evening Danny and Wanda, the carrots look good and I haven't heard of carrot salad since my grandmother made it for me as a teenager. I had forgotten all about it but I'm going to make a fresh batch tomorrow. Thank you for all that you share with us the knowledge is priceless. I bless you both Theresa and family
They say that every time you cover something......it ups the growing zone....so the ones in the barn probably faired the best...... y'all done good 😊 awesome job
North Idaho here... we bottomed at -20. The greenhouse held at 16 with no heat. Built plastic tent in over boxes and my greens held on well. This years experiment was boxes off the ground on stands with plastic all the way to floor ... I think it was successful.
You are right on keeping the coverage close by... winter is just starting and more polar express will return. This is the year to test our endeavors to grow inside. I am waiting to hear how the big commercial grow houses farther north faired. Might be proof smaller is better.
God helps those who help themselves. Merry Christmas Danny and Ms. Wanda.
Merry Christmas
Love carrot salad with apples and raisins!!
Tomatoes, Peppers in winter? That would be a blessing. I had small tomato, cherry in protected place. It almost gave me two tomatoes. hugs.
Fascinating ... Greetings from Europe Germany ! We have a new small layer of 20 cm of snow :)
Glad to see your efforts paid off. I lost a bit but we weren't so lucky
Thank God for His faithful Loving Kindness and Care.. So happy for your blessings Neighbor ❤❤❤❤
Praise God that all of your efforts paid off.
God was good to you, amen
Collards looking good
Oh the carrots are beautiful!
Lots of good information raising animals ❤thanks love the life y’all live!
Wow! Amazing DIY counter!!!🤗
We have another cold front coming just around new years to the 3rd of January.
Praise God everything goods good as could be expected 🙏. And Praise God you have your health 🙏
I built or had built a greenhouse. Put my tomatoes that was so beautiful in my greenhouse. Did great till we dropped into the low thirty’s . So they never made it to this hard freeze . My onions did fine . My collards witch are very small made it outside in the low teens and the ones in the greenhouse made it . Got to water them and hopefully they do fine . My potatoes went leap even with straw on top . Thank the lord I didn’t have much in there with no heat .
Oh I m so glad so much survived as watching you & Miss Wanda working so hard to cover your plants. Well Done & Happy New Year to you both. We are having 32c over here in Australia but it is our Summer. Cheers Denise- Australia
Thanks for sharing your experiments.
You can feed the carrot greens to the chickens !
I live in New Jersey cabbage holds up well.
Good morning. Old carpet has been my best friend. If you turn the backside up you can use it for ground cover. I will be using it in my second greenhouse.( #1 has concrete pad). You can use it around beds ( mulch on top). I made a sitting area under my shade trees. I used a colored mulch and it looks great. I bordrred it with rocks. You can use it in a gravel driveway under fresh gravel. I had a client toss a bunch of new remnants out and i grabbed them up.😀 Most went into my attic on the floor for insulation. I have used it under the sink on the back wall as insulation too. I dont know why I felt like sharing this. It is a free renewable resource. Thank you Danny. God bless.
Good morning
Glad to hear that. I put carpet over my figs and willow tree maybe they will make it. I will try like you are going to do. Thanks
I have been going back and watching your videos. Notice where the tomatoes got frosted was where they were double wrapped with the white fabric? Do you think that the fabric held some frost that maybe touched the plants physically? What are your thoughts? Also I wanted to say thank you, your channel has given me so much know and inspiration a true joy to watch your channel and be inspired by your testimony. God bless you both always.
Palm Beach County is in the southeast of Florida. We got down to low thirties.
I lost all my container plants. My garlic and onions look awful but might make it. It was so cold here and wasn't any snow first to cover
Yall fared way better than we did up in ok. Our carrots? We topped em and now the crowns are resprouting. Our brassicas are toast. We did cut off taters at ground they will be fine. Will replant for spring.
Yes! God is GOOD!!!
Carrots get sweeter in the cold. Cabbage loves the cold.
Wanda girl, you had me laughing when you decided that second broccoli was on the menu. You and Danny are pretty funny sometimes, glad you have a genuine love for each other, it show's.
Ginger will usually sprout back out the roots are most likely ok, just givem time.
Very informative!!!!
Make a big pot of soup with the beautiful carrots
You both have the greenest thumbs..love that you share your WISDOM, all of it
Really good video applicable to lots of folks . Interesting
amazing video, loved it
I picked carrots in early December last year in northern Oklahoma
Not this year.
Water freezes and stays 32 degrees. So if roots are wet that’s as cold as they get. In dry ground or pots, if air temperature is below 32 the ground and roots will get colder like the air temperature. That’s why you water everything real good before a deep freeze.
Betting when you get some water on all of these plants, I’ll bet you’ll be very surprised how many flourish!
Good morning, God has blessed your labor
Good morning
The plants are really healthy. Nice:
Morning Deep South!
Morning
Love it when danny gets excited🤗
God is good y'all ☺❤
Love broccoli greens
I’ve had tomatoes live and recover with temperatures in the mid 40’s
First thing to do is to put water them before the sun hits them. The water costs them.
I love hearing the pure joy in Danny's voice when the plants are still going strong.
put rye down for your cover crop....it is hardy for a great winter crop....that is what old timers always planted up in the North Michigan
In the south you don't dare put rye in for a cover crop. You can't kill it in the spring when you need to plant. If you turn it under it comes right back.
Hey! I'm so glad to find your channel! We're in No FL - does that qualify as Deep South😅? We just had 5 days in a row of 20's. I wish I would have watched your sugar cane video earlier-- it was our first year and we were told don't harvest until the second year- is it all a loss?
Thank You! I'll be looking forward to more videos!
The carrots looked so great, and glad the blast didn't kill everything. When you prepare, it makes a difference. Much love to you Danny and Wanda, and G-d bless.
It looks like all the work ya'll put in before the freezing weather has really paid off!! Congratulations! I am so happy for you. I know you are happy as well. You are so right about keeping your protection in place for further cold weather. I'm smiling for your great save!!
If you sprinkle with water until the ice comes off they will not turn brown . Same with anyplant
Your crops came through real good! I used 200 watt bulb on each of my raised beds, and stitched sheets and blankets from thrift. My plants survived, and so did my early cucumbers!
Cucumbers! Cool
Wrap your tomatoes in Christmas lights. We did our avocado trees and frost covers. It went down to 22 here and no damage!!
I'm still purchasing and prepping/putting up. Here in zone 9 our beets are making and I just made some pickled and canned up. Iceberg making, peas blooming---and our first snow at 37F. Eight cabbages slowly making in my row garden. It's all about food isn't it? Well, first or maybe next is calling Jesus our Lord, Savior, and Source.
Always cloth first, then plastic ...congrats!
I know that you guys already know that they make 23,000BTU kerosene heaters. When we were kids, we were dirt poor, and my sister and I slept in bunk beds back on our screened-in back porch with a kerosene heater to keep us warm. You can turn those heaters up or down. I'm thinking you could use a couple of such heaters near your bananas. Kerosene heaters are portable, and would take up MUCH less room than a coal-burning pot-bellies stove. If you were totally gungho, you could put a thermostatically-controlled natural gas heater in the "attic" of each greenhouse for those few nights every year when you need a few extra degrees of heat to keep your plants alive and healthy. A kerosene heater might be enough to keep your bananas alive. Thank you for being such good examples to the rest of us! If we get a high tunnel here in Mesa County, we would have to do something for extra heat, because it gets colder for longer here than it does in Wiggins, Mississippi. God bless and protect Deep South Homestead and all who dwell there!
Came up in your worm castings...hint hint, wink.
Congrats on all that was saved! What a great feeling seeing time & energy spent was worth it
Everything looked pretty good. I don't know if my fig made it. I covered but will have to leave covered all winter. It gets cold. I dont know yet about herbs greens garlic onions. My 99 year old Aunt passed on Christmas. Will bury her tomorrow. I haven't looked at containers yet
Good morning brother! Y'all did a great job! Now to figure out what to do with the tarps lol
Good morning brother we got plans for them over on Patreon soon.
@@DeepSouthHomestead Nice!
Good Morning. Mr Danny and Ms Wanda
What is the blue pipe over the carrots.
Y'all are the only truly successful gardener on CZcams. I aspire to to get my gardening to this level when my husband gets my green house up. Thank you for taking the time to share this with everyone. We are in Tennessee and are going to heat our first green house to help over winter and grow year round. We just had -5 with a wind chill of -24.
You can do it!
God is Good All the Time.
Me, along with thousands of others, watched you plant that bed of carrots. It's satisfying seeing them growing well with bushy tops.
Danny is it too late to try to replant my broccoli in Ms.I can't afford a high tunnel.
