Frost Tolerant Vegetables Growing Succesfully in my Winter Front Yard Garden
John from www.growingyourgreens.com shows you his front yard garden on frost laden an early morning winter day. In this episode you will learn that it does get cold in California… In addition, you will discover which crops can stay alive in the frost. Finally you will learn how John gets the ice off his windshield without an ice scraper.
Cauliflowers and peppers have different numbers of chromosomes. It is highly unlikely there was genetic drift between the two. Perhaps your cauliflower got a gene from another brassica near by, or it was a simple random mutation. But however it happened the leaves are super pretty on your plant!!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family John.

Cool video man. What zone are you considered? So this is your front garden, do you got one in the back too? Do you got a video of it?
@growingyourgreens Happy Holidays mate
Happy holidays John can you show us how you front garden is set up for some ideas, thanks
Merry Christmas from Downunder! Just discovered your videos & loving them.
I am eager to see the new irrigation system.
Hi John! It looks like variegated collards to me! OAEC sells them in six packs or in mixed six-packs, and maybe you got it by accident mixed in with their kale plants or something. It also looks like you have another collard plant right next to it? The variegated collards start out as solid green plants, and then they turn variegated after frost or when they are thinking of setting flowers. Anyway, the variegated collards are yummy…a little milder than other collards. Grows fall thru spring
minus five indoors and out, and I’ve been banned from growing any more plants at the office, so not much chance of growing my own food – just yet. I did have plans to purchase raw Stonecrop from the nextdoor supermarket, but then I read some reports about it being potentially toxic. Have you any thoughts on Stonecrop’s dietary benefits? Opted for a toasted sandwich this evening instead, but have some new visions of my own for 2012 based on your videos. All the best..
what is a minimum amount of time it takes to garden?
Okra melted to mush after a frost. Glad I only planted a few as an experiment.
Why dont you just make your own compost and do you start your own seeds.
@SouthernGardner Im guessing because he’d need to buy an acre of land to do it, lol, have you seen how many beds he has and how big they are?! He would need to make a tonne of compost!
Help! I’ve got what look like powdered-sugar covered aphids on my broccoli plants. They seem to have appeared since I started covering my bed with hoops and greenhouse plastic on cold days/nights. Is there such a thing as a powdered-sugar-covered-hoop-and-plastic-loving-white-purple aphid? If so what natural thing may I use to destroy them? What do? AAAAAARRRRRG!
hi jhon what is that behide you ear.
Hey John, love your videos. Can’t wait to get out of the Navy so I can grow my own greens too. Ever thought of getting a few ducks or hens for eggs and to keep you company while you do your gardening?
so far Dec has been so nice in NY that I still have one small Broccoli pant still serving and a celantro plant still giving me some leaves for cooking. I know they will die but so far there still green and growing
ha it was almost 80 degrees where Im at on christmas
pansies really aren’t pansies LOL
@jsbattlenet
Boston is amazingly mild this year too. Have lettuce, sage, and beets still growing strong outside. They are covered for some protection, but no hard freezes yet.
I’d love to hear more about celeriac and how to use it… what parts are edible, etc..
You rock man. You are my favourite sub.
@will6659 thats great I wish I left more growing in the garden. next time im going to keep the brocolli and celantro going and any other cold weather veggies going for as long as possible. I stopped planting when I thought the cold would comeand kill but I should not have.
What does the sign in the front yard say?
good video! looks mighty cold
