Greetings friends, this is Survival Doc. I just wanted to make this short video to share the good news with you. Today my video channel reached 3 million video views. Woohoo! While I've got you on the horn here, I wanted to show you something quickly here. This is December 10th here in the middle of Missouri, located here in the middle of the United States of America. And today it's about, currently it is 33 degrees Fahrenheit. The load today was about 20 degrees and tonight's supposed to get down to about 20 degrees. I don't want to show you my garden here. As you can see, I still have this lettuce growing here. Now this lettuce has survived several freezes. Now when we get a real hard freeze, I do cover this with a tarpolium last night. It got down to 20 degrees so I did cover this with a tarp. And as you can see, the lettuce is beginning to wilt so I'm going to go ahead and pick this lettuce now. But lettuce is a cold weather crop. You see I have several different varieties of lettuce here. But this is just to let you know that you can grow in even as far up north as Missouri. You can grow vegetables in your garden as late as the middle of December. I actually grow three gardens. I grow a cool weather crop garden in the spring. And then I grow a warm weather crop garden in the summer. And that's when I'll grow my tomatoes and most of my vegetables. And then I'll grow another cool weather crop in the fall. And that way I can extend my growing season to about eight or nine months of the year. I think I can grow something outdoors. Not to mention things that I grow indoors. I can grow herbs indoors in my window seals. Over here is another part of my garden. I have some more lettuce here. More cold weather crops have a lot of carrots in here. And carrots also have some root vegetables growing in my backyard. You can actually go in the ground through the winter and just pull them up as you need it. Now you see some nice carrots. I'll go ahead and pull these up, take these inside for a supper tonight. Now one thing about carrots, I'm going to leave some of these carrots in the ground here. Because carrots are a biennial, that means that they come to seed in two years, not one year. So I'm going to leave some of these carrots in the ground so that next year they will seed. Here you see here's some bib lettuce. Here's some bib lettuce. Here's some stevia that I'll let go to seed. So I could collect the seeds and grow the stevia. I collect seeds for most of my plants. Here are little stevia flowers. There's bib lettuce. Bib lettuce. And carrots. Also in the weather's cold, I grow weather cold weather crops like broccoli, cauliflower. I've got onions still in my garden around back. I got parsley and other cold weather crop. Turn up greens. These are all cold weather crops. But if you choose your crops carefully, you can grow, extend, have an extended growing season and grow through many months of the year. If you live south of here, if you live down in the south, you can almost grow vegetables of some sort, almost year round. Of course you can also make a greenhouse and grow year round. I also have a plastic cover that I put over this sometimes to extend the growing season and then in the spring. I can plant the seeds a little bit earlier if I cover this ground here and keep the seeds covered. This is survival doc. Reminding you be prepared or be prepared to be fleas.
