Thank you Connor for giving such clear and easy to understand instructions. Like, the mustard greens that were not mature will still be great for March. I love examples of things that don't go as planned.

This is the first time I knew that Claytonia is being cultivated. It grows wild during the winters in California. We'd pick it for salads or just munch on a leaf or two.

Wow a wealth of information in this video. Love your philosophy keep it simple and keep it fun!! I’ve not had good luck with Spinach, but going to give it another run. I think I babied it too much .

Great info on the product maturity as of a 10 hour day. Thank you Connor, it seems you never stop picking up new and useful information watching your videos and others. We got down to five last night it's my first year trying to raise a few greens inside an unheated greenhouse in Salt Lake City with three layers of plastic we came through beautifully. Nothing even froze a little. 😊

Outstanding. Easy to view: to see the length of the greenhouse, hear you talk about various vegetables, harvesting, and ventilation. Thank you.

Amazing stuff coming out! As I just finished last harvest if greens in my tiny food forest/market garden hybrid its sure nice to relax to such sight of production. I can only aspire to be as good grower as you guys are. Best of luck in new growing season!

Thank you Sir! You have saved some lives with this one video! Yes by getting better nutrition out there so people can grow and eat more, so they have less dis-- ease. Thanks

Love to see and hear you explain the details of your green market business. ❤️. Question: Fast forward to Dec, did the Asian spinach do well and the other spinach? We use a five gallon bucket of fresh spinach for every pan of Spanakopita. Wilting fresh spinach with olive oil makes the best tasting traditional recipe.

Man, where are u located? I live in the Adirondacks- Northville, NY- I would love to come work for u !!! I’m sure you prob won’t see this. But just thought I’d throw it out there. My trade is in painting/remodeling/painting, but have gardened for years. I love all your methods. If you haven’t heard of Northville, I use to live in Scoharie , Ny - & wife’s parents lived in tenselearville, NY , Albany county, just on the border of Greene County. I love what your doing & wish I could be a part of all this. Keep up the awesome video. Love them all...

We se only 6 hours 47 shortest day 22nd December and drop below 10 hours around 20th October although our temperatures are probably slightly higher than yours in Pitlochry Scotland . We have never thought of winter cropping. Do you think our day length would make it much more challenging and do you think we would need to be established 20th October . Thanks for your videos you run a very impressive operation .

I knew about Tatsoi and Clayton but not sure in my small garden I can protect as winter gets frozen soil for days

So now your light is going up right? When do you go back to 10 hours? We go back to a 10 hour day at the end of February...we reached our lowest light at the end of October.

I know this video wasn't on the Jang Seeder, but I have some questions about using it. I know the Jang seeder can singulate a seed if you use the right roller with a certain seed size. However I am having trouble getting my seeder to drop only 1 seed at a time for things like carrot, or kale, or spinach. When you use your Jang seeder, do you get a single seed to drop at one time for the seeds that I mentioned, or do you try to get 2 or 3 seeds to drop at one time? If you get multiple seeds dropping at one time, what is your reasons for that? Is it to help guarantee one of the seeds will germinate and then wouldn't you have to go back and do some thinning to one plant?

Great video, thanks! Sorry for the late question. I'm dealing with a very drippy greenhouse and mildew. I guess I should be ventilating rather than trying to retain daytime heat? Do you close those peak vents at night?

@NeversinkFarm Жыл бұрын

Vents in an unheated house are open 24/7 at Neversink

@PaulHubble Жыл бұрын

This is blowing my mind a bit. Same deal in the movables? Somewhere you mention sealing them up and leaving them all winter. I guess I'm over-focussed on those couple of degrees of heat retention. Maybe because it's double-poly and I'm eventually going to add some heat. Will minimal heat drive off some humidity combined with ventilation? The issue here in Nova Scotia is that the weather itself is very cloudy and humid.

does your greenhouses go north south or east west? and do you bother clearing the snow off or leave it for insulation value till it gets too heavy?... just subscribed due to this video, looking forward to seeing the rest of your stuff

@@NeversinkFarm Thanks for the quick response, I'm curious to know if it would be better one way or the other(n-s or e-w) when I go to build one this year. As I plan on having some vine like high growing crops like indeterminate cheery tomatoes and cucumbers but also grow lower crops too. where the n-s will cause partial shading but more exposure to both sides of the plant, or go east west and just plant the taller crops on the north side which I think will limit the exposure to one side of the plants. there's not much info regarding this out there and would like to plan and build my operation the best productive way before I build permanent infrastructure. Curious to know what you think as I am a similar latitude as you but in N.S. Canada.

@GerardGibney3 4 жыл бұрын

@@NeversinkFarm Thanks, Connor. tatsoi was one of the first brassicas I ever grew, and initially, I thought they might be low yielding for surface area because of lack of height, then I saw your density. TBH, in my zone 7a southwestern CT NYC area outdoor area, tatsoi survived uncovered at 0 F. pal choi is disappearing and lingering in the mid teens so far covered and uncovered (seed savers exchange OG pak choi). I think you found a winner...
