Top 10 Vegetables to Grow and Harvest in Winter

Have you thought about a ratting dog to help with rodent control? Not sure if they can catch mice or not, but at least they can be trained to leave the birds alone.

Very informative video thank you. I am going to try growing winter potatoes and leaving them in the ground. Can you recall which variety you planted, they looked great? Many thanks

Thank you so much for your share about winter vegetable in Ireland.

Can you get A terrier? They can help you with the mice. Ducks can help you with slugs and protect your chickens.

You have to plant swede in spring? And cant harvest until winter?

What do you have the pigs for? Do you slaughter them? I wouldn't have the heart for that

Good kitties!

Normally the German Späzle is just a regular potato pasta. interesting twist though to make it from beetroot.

Thank you !! Always great videoes and I learn so much.

Do you have slugs there and how do you deal with them

You might be interested in reading Eliot Coleman's book The Four Season Harvest. He has grown a number of vegetables that you might like to try. I had not heard of many until reading his book.

Lovely, really like the potato storing idea, I'll have to try that!

You just got my subscription, well presented and informative

I also discovered Italian parsley pesto last summer and love it along with the super high nutritional punch it gives !!!!

I am growing my spuds in containers does the same apply ? can I leave them in the containers full of soil through the winter untill Id like to harvest them

I live in county mayo and dont have a pollytunnel, so happy to find your chanel as just starting my self suffiency journey :)

Would somewhat argue for lettuce, as I think it’s tasty. However, if you think it’s too insipid, try this. Had BBQ’d lettuce last night… chard, it transforms it into something really nice!

Cats are nocturnal so you can encourage them to come inside and sleep for the day. Training them from kittenhood to come inside during the day would be best of course. But this would save your bird population.

I might try this re the potatoes, though we do suffer with seed potatoes being eaten by rodents when they’re sown so it may not work out. I’ll try! Thanks for sharing

Turnips are wonderful picked. The only way I like them.

Daniel with Luck you will find a Irish Coleen to help you in your homestead, and a several healthy children who you can teach and who will help in.the garden and look after you when you get older. Did you enjoy the Uisce Beatha the water of life,

0 parsley (2 year growth cycle)
9 cabbage (vitamin c/k, folate)
8 potato
7 purple sprouting broccoli
6 turnip/swede/rutabaga
5 beetroot (keeps slugs away)
4 carrots
3 kale
2 Brussel sprouts
1 perpetual spinach aka chard

Rodents are thieves not farmers... makes sense =)

great and very useful

Have you tried sunchokes for a winter crop?

Please show us your German volunteer’s recipe for beetroot! Thank you 🙂

I heard from someone that if you feed your cats well in the morning, they will be lazy during the day, but you should not feed them in the evening to encourage them to hunt during the night.

Im curious if you are planting by the moon and what is your opinion on it.

Most appreciated. Leave carrots and taters in soil. Wonderful.

Thanks, good advice. 😀

Love your voice, gardening tips are very helpful! Thank you 🙏

I've only recently stumbled upon your channel and am thoroughly enjoying it. Absolutely love the way you include your lovely animal friends in the videos 🙂

I love kale! Never had Brussels Sprouts, or Perpetual spinach!

Brilliant

Do u grow blueberries?

Can ducks be used for slug control?

Great video, but I have to say my beetroot were seriously hit by slugs, eating at least half of every one, still managed to harvest plenty but the slugs did a lot of damage - my cabbages were like swiss cheese.

He must have recorded this one before lunch, he was grazing on everything! Lol

Missed #2. Chattering with another, too much. Thanks. Can a 75 year old start a small landholding in the West of Ireland?

Raw brussel sprouts actually make a really good salad combined with a fruity vinegar and some hard cheese.

I love how simply you explain everything. This encourages me to grow more this winter. I can tell that you have been doing this for a while, thank you for sharing!

Try keeping the cat up in the daytime and letting them out at night

Where do you get your seeds from

I love learning from you. Thank you for your wisdom

to keep the mice, and even worse the shrews, away...you need to put the cat out at night. He/she will sort them out as mice/shrews mostly come out at night and also the birds will be safe. Thats what I do.

Hey mossy!
I'm an Irishman not living in Ireland, you make me home sick. Miss the Ireland that you display so well!
