WILL OUR GARDENS SURVIVE THIS FREEZE!?

Our first freezing temperatures of fall/winter are on the way! Today we'll show you what should survive and what probably won't survive.

That basil will make a really good basil jelly. I tried that for the first time this year and it was a major success.

Yet another great video and good advice. The cold and frost came and went; it hammered my garden in Fairhope, AL. The wind blew over my broccoli and collards. I had to lift them upright and mound soil around the base in hopes of saving them; all got frost burned. Cauliflower is toast!! The cabbages got burned but may yet survive? The sudden drop below 30 was really hard on the garden. Cover? Too big a garden to try and cover. Interesting, snow peas and spinach show no signs of frost/cold damage; something to be thankful for.  Thanks Travis for all the down home gardening videos; love them and keep them coming. May God bless.

As you know, I found a new place in North Florida, Zone 8b, and will be moving there in mid-January, so I'm taking my planting cues from y'all. I planted small this year, but I planted because I didn't know if I'd be moving or not. All that's left in my garden are tomatoes, collards and Florida mustard greens. The greens will be fine, even if we have a freeze, and I'm not planning on canning any this year. Lord knows I have enough canned collards from last year to move, so we'll harvest and eat some, and in late December/early January I'll just turn the chickens loose in there. The tomatoes are making right now, but if there's a frost, that's just too bad - I don't need more canning to haul and I'll be taking them up at the end of the month anyway. I'm hoping to get settled in time to start planting a really nice first garden this year, and since my new first frost date isn't until mid-March, I should have time to start lots of plants! Save me out some things, you guys! I can't order until I'm up there to receive 'em, but know I'll be needing a LOT of things.

Runner beans... I have never grown them (trying for the first time in the coming year), but my understanding is that these are perennial, assuming that the roots aren't subjected to temperatures too low to survive. Perhaps someone who sells seeds isn't interested, but my understanding is that it's at least possible to dig and store the roots (perhaps packed in some damp peat in a cold but not freezing location?), and replant in the spring for a faster start next year.

Seems like you guys are in the perfect climate for row covers, I have used them before in 8a with good results, maybe ya'll should consider carrying some quality row covers like the rest of your products.

I see one thing not super cold tolerant, Travis.

I’ve got kale, onions, bok Choi and carrots still doing OK. Your carrots flew past mine, though... speaking of frost and winter... when is the best time to prune fig trees? Got my young trees in the ground this spring, now they’re turning into big, wide bushes instead of trees. Frost has knocked off all the leaves

We did have big frost Dec 2. Looked like it had snowed here in south GA. My garden did fine. I have question about the Micro boost. When I use it in the EZ Flow there is residue in the bottom of the container and in the filter is this normal ?

I live in zone 8 of Mississippi probably share the same temps as Georgia. Is it to late to put sugar cane in the ground??? I have about 40 stalks I wanted to plant but rain kept ground wet and I couldn’t plow up some rows . Can I store them until spring or is this a lost???

Man I got 2 questions. One I'm having issues with 2 things. One leaves in the garden. 2 squirrels. Digging for nuts and eating my green leaves. What can I do about the squirrels? And what is the best option for leaves? Can i just leave em or remove em? Daghum landscapers keep blowing em n my garden

How cold was it during your taping Travis? You look like you don’t handle cold weather very well. Lol
