Great job Millennial Gardener! I love what you are doing to help people grow their own food!

[AnarchAnjel]

Ooo I'm getting some garlic and leeks. Love it!

[rubyrayn]

Love all the info, but also love seeing Dale. He is a star, LOL.

[rebeccasanford]

Greetings from East Texas! I’m Zone 7B. Thank you for all your information and education

[Livingsamsara]

I finally bought and cooked with leeks tonight thanks to you! I made Vichyssoise - so why not? It's easy & it is delicious! I'll be attempting to grow the roots & put into the garden. I really appreciate your "What you can plant in _this month_ video!" It really works for me in S.C.

[manandatractor]

Here it is December 2nd and our snow peas are still blooming. Gotta love the coast!

[myurbangarden]

I got all my Asian greens out now and am using grow lights and covers for a few things because we may get a frost. Wish me luck.

[tpen]

Good information I am adding 8 new beds right now. So now have a good list of what I can plant in them as I get them done.

About those grocery store garlic bulbs you suggested - always check them for roots. Good, California/US grown garlic has roots. Chinese garlic bulbs always have the roots removed before export. California garlic is superior in quality and taste so always go for the best if you're buying your "seed" garlic from the grocery store.

I love how straight to the point you are. Thank you for making this video! Watching from zone 5.

[doreenaitken]

my garden is so confused. zone 10 weather has been so unpredictable. i have cucumbers, okra and eggplant growing. all my winter greens are doing well.
love your dog!!!❤

[ahnaahna]

You enthusiasm is contagious!!! Thk you! I have planted in big pots....spinach and arugula ‘transplants’ on my South wall. (Atlanta, GA). I have a stick teepee over each pot with multiple layers of clear shower curtains. Sounds goofy....but it will work, because I did that last winter on a South deck here. I can wrap the teepees with old comforters if I have to, when we have unusually 🥶 cold weather, for us here...in January. I also have lots of yard leaves gathered around the pots. Again....thanks for your encouragement. Gardening in winter, etc. gives me so much joy!! Ahna

[carolinewithers]

I"m your neighbor and grow a little north of Porter's Neck. I'd also recommend Swiss Chard and arugula.

[catherinegrace]

I buy minced garlic cheap but I’m obsessed with growing it and am going hard planting garlic this year.
Red leaf lettuce - marvel of four seasons variety. Thank you!
I put carrots in already but I think I’ll put some more in along with some radishes.
My parsley survived the summer and is looking stunning right now.
I think I’ll plant some more as well as cilantro. Love cilantro. It’s a super food y’all!

[Maudsgreengarden]

Planted garlic and carrots in the Netherlands in zone 8 as well!

[honeydew]

This is good for people in warmer zones. In zone 6, we have snow on the ground.

I’m in zone 8b and still have tomatoes coming out of the garden. Of course it’s been quite warm the last week and a half (80’s!) so I suppose that is helping the tomatoes and my bell peppers too. There was a short couple days where the temps dipped down to 34 and my tomato plants decided to shed leaves and it killed off my squash plants (I only got one squash this year from all my plantings!😢) but the green tomatoes are still looking great and growing. Amazing. I have both cherry tomatoes (indeterminate, hybrid variety) and Roma (determinate heirloom). I hadn’t gotten any Roma tomatoes yet all summer so I’m very excited to finally get a few! It was just too hot here in East Texas this past summer. I did plant out my garlic a couple of days ago and it was a mixture of organic store bought and seed garlic I bought from a garlic farm and kept them all in the fridge since October. My organic store bought was already sprouting in the fridge so I figured it was time to plant it. Nearly all the store bought garlic cloves have sprouted through the ground already a few days after planting. Is that ok??? I hope they’ll bulb well. It’s my first time growing garlic so this should be fun! I’m growing some in grow bags and some in my garden raised beds. My onions I planted a while back are also progressing slowly but adequately. I’m very happy with my garden right now! I’ve also got broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, and broccoli rabe all growing wonderfully too so I’m so excited.
