This was great! I have been seed sorting! It is a good problem to have! Another plan for early cold spring is to put up the full sized chicken run around the gardens and let them weed for us. There will be a double gate to get into it that will block them off when we need to work the garden. I am such a nerd I have full written plans. We repurpose things in the process so it doesn't always end up the exact same as the plan but God willing it ends up better. Have a great night!

My task this late Fall was to cage my 20 blueberry bushes with 2 foot high chicken wire to protect them from the wild rabbits. This year, I also made a second wall of protection, made of 3 foot high burlap running around the whole strip. So far, I don't see any signs of rabbit poop or digging for the tasty roots or chewing off branches. Even the squirrels are staying out of the enclosure. I am hoping that if the critters don't see the bushes, they may ignore them altogether.

Yes, organizing seeds is an important task. I just did that and not only will it help me plan next years garden and identify any gaps in nu stock, it also allows me to take out seeds I will not use and pass them on to someone else.

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms This year, I will keep only seed packets that have a "job" during the next growing season. Jobs will be assigned by going through every single packet and entering it in my sowing plan. If a variety does not fit in my sowing plan for the coming year (and unless it is a perennial) I will consider passing it to someone who might benefit from it. Seeds should never go to waste!

Well, Jeff.. I started reclaiming my soil, last year. Right now, I have a huge pile that I have been feeding for a few months. Just giving the native worms all the veggie scraps, and some egg shells and the weekly coffee grounds. I think they are overweight. 😆😆We have so many oak trees that they add the brown material all by themselves. As far as winter chores..🤔🤔 Today, I was out picking army worms off of one of my tomato plants. They are not eating the plants, they just seem to be living on the leaves and they did get 2 of my green tomatoes. Well, were--- they got evicted! We were told today, they we might get a cold snap next Thursday and could see 40..YAY.. 😆We enjoy our 2 or 3 days of cold weather. Anyway, good video! Thanks for the tips from the Sunshine state.

Hello Jeff! I am jonesing to get to my seed organizing. I've put together a spreadsheet and categorized it by veg, fruit, flower with year of purchase, root depth, result once used, and other useful stuff. Other garden tasks FIRST but when the real snow hits? To the computer! I got some cool stuff I can't wait to try. Ninestar broccoli, kalette (sorta like kale brussel sprouts), black chickpeas made for planting in my Montréal climate. Woohoo! Ciao4nao my Garden Brother 😁
