    Rutabagas is worth a try. It’s frost hardy and you can harvest it after frost. We use it a lot here. We call it Swede. Mashed Swede and dried lambmeat is a must for Christmas dinner where I live in Norway. Have a nice weekend in your lovely garden.

    Hi Susan! I’m new to your channel but already love it, and of course I subscribed. :) I have a question that you’ve probably addressed in other videos, but again, I’m a newbie! I notice in this video you are planting cool season crops. I was wondering where you are located? Just general location, I mean. Are you in a northern climate? I ask because I’m in Alabama and feel like I’m way behind others, since it’s getting really warm (borderline hot!) here really quickly. I was thinking that it was too late for cool weather crops - at least here it is, but wherever you are it still looks cold. I’ve read that cool season crops can be planted in early spring - and here that actually translates into “mid-winter!” such as February... But also I’ve heard of some people planting in mid- to late-summer for, I guess, a late fall crop? Then I also read that some cool weather crops can overwinter, but that’s sort of confusing to me because sometimes, here in Alabama at least, our winters aren’t exactly suited well to plants which, in cooler temps, might go dormant until they can warm a bit and grow more in late winter or early spring... My dad was a farmer/gardener, but I only remember him planting things like cabbage and broccoli usually in February. I apologize for such a “dumb” question, but I’m just now really getting into gardening myself, and some of the questions I have tend to “confuse” Google. 😉 Again, love your channel, so glad I found it, and happy gardening! Best - Adam

    Hi, Adam. Thanks for your comments. I live in Eastern Washington state, zone 5, so much colder than you! Cool-season crops should be planted in early spring as soon as the soil is dry enough to be worked with. However, as you can imagine, I'm not familiar with gardening in Alabama so I'm sure you are way ahead of us. I would recommend contacting your local Master Gardener program because they can give you some guidelines on growing in your region. Best wishes!

    Hi, Carolyn. I don't see why you couldn't. The only thing I'm second-guessing myself about is that turnips and rutabagas are members of the cabbage family. Because of this, they are more susceptible to problems with aphids and cabbage worms. So I'm wondering if it's not a good idea to mix certain plant families together since the easiest way to deal with cabbage family issues is to cover the crop with either bridal veil netting or floating row cover... yet it's not necessary to cover the carrots. So that's my 2-cents' worth!
