The last of the harvest

Brussels Sprouts Blanched and ready for the freezer.

A compilation of several short video clips taken over the last three weeks as I harvested and preserved my garden produce as well as a look at my new little chicken coop all ready for my hens when they arrive next summer and a short clip of my indoor cucumbers.

Great video . Your plants look healthy and yummy .

I am courious to know what the tempature of your house is for your indoor plants ? Last year my seedlings that I started in the house didn't grow to fast due to my house being too cool .I gave my mom a bunch of seedlings and they exploded with growth and her house was much warmer .

I keep my house very cool so far the thermostats have been set at 5 degrees C last winter they never were higher then 10 degrees. The room with the cucumber however is set at 20 degrees right now, not for the cucumbers sake my sauerkraut is in the closet in that room and it needs to be at 20 degrees for 5 or 6 days then 15 degrees for the remainder of the fermentation period, 3 to 4 weeks. I sometimes turn the heat up to get better germination but once the seedling start to grow I turn it back down, too warm and they bolt into lanky soft seedlings.

Dale ,
Do you know if the actual leaves on a Brussel Sprout plant are edible ? Im not talking about the Brussel Sprouts leaves ,but the actual leaves that come off the stalk .

I've never eaten them but I don't see why they wouldn't be edible the sprout is just a bud of the same leaves forming at the leaf axil.
