Winter Food Garden Strategies

guys Welcome to our second third talk my second talk the third talk on living seeds Farm today um today we're talking about winter soil Improvement and how to get started for winter what to plant for winter so the biggest thing with with people that have vegetable gardens is that their summer vegetable garden is this awesome stunning productive vegetable garden and their winter vegetable garden is like I got some cabbages and some broccoli but they're not doing well am I right correct and I think that's the biggest problem and and it's a case of people people don't plan to have a good Winter Garden and if you plan to have a good winter garden you have a stunning winter vegetable garden so we've already started planting and planning for our winter vegetable garden our first batch of of Brassica seedlings are up there about this size now and we will start as this vegetable garden this show garden over here what this show Garden does so let me tell you about the Shogun so the show Garden is for you guys to walk into the show garden and taste veggies okay and it gives me so much joy when people bite into a tomato and go but my mind is blown with this tomato flavor okay or they go and they taste all of the different kinds of Basil or they taste all the different kinds of lettuce and they actually get to experience all of these amazing varieties that we're growing and the exact same thing happens in winter okay we so this vegetable garden is for you guys to enjoy to go and literally to go and taste veggies it also feeds our staff we have 25 staff members on this on this farm and every single staff member can leave home every single day with fresh vegetables in their hands okay so it helps our staff as well but it also ensures that we keep taking product off the show Garden because if you don't Harvest off the plants the plants are going to get to a point where they've produced their seed requirement for the season and the plant just dies if you keep harvesting off the plants the plants continue to produce those of you that have been into the show Garden if you go and look at the beans we've got the first three rows on this side over here where we've replonted Visa beans and the reason why we've replanted Visa beans is because they are the best freezing bean and I want a lot of green beans over winter for our stews and curries okay but all of the other bean plants are bean plants that were planted if you look at the date on the on the planting marker those bean plants have been producing the whole of Summer and what they've done is they've removed every single pod every single Bean of those plants and if you look at those bean plants they're starting to actually go back into active growth again and they will produce another crop of green beans okay so it's a case of you need to constantly be picking off of your um of your vegetable garden however when it gets to this time of the year there are certain crops that go okay I'm going to die and you know what don't try and pamper it and please you know give me an extra take the plant out and plant something else inside there if you don't have seedlings now busy growing when you pull those plants out you're not going to be able to plant something in there okay and it's a case of now is the time to be planting so what you do and this is what we do over here I think we've got about 15 or 16 different kinds of cabbages we will plant 50 of each cabbage variety into our show Garden those of who was here last winter a couple of guys were here last winter did you see the cabbages in at the far side over there we had a couple of hundred cabbage plants we planted cabbage once on one day our staff ate cabbage for four months of one planting okay and the reason why they did that was because every single cabbage variety now is there a commercial farmer here are there any commercial Farmers okay so commercial Farmers what the commercial farmer wants to do is he wants to plant one field of cabbage and he wants to send his team of Pickers into that field on one day take all of those cabbages load them onto a truck and take it to the market if he puts that truck into that field every single week to harvest this little bit over here and that little bit over there that impaction the soil impaction of the truck going into into his field destroys his soil his labor cost increases because you know he's now working that field five six seven eight ten times okay and his losses actually increase because you will lose product every time you put people into a field somebody will damage something it's the way it works for the home Gardener what you want to do is you want to plant well some people want to plant seed every single week I'm not one of those people okay I like to plant seed once and reap the rewards of that planting for months that's what I like to do I'm a laser I am a lazy Gardener okay but you're a lazy Gardener if you work smart well you're a Smart Gardener if you work lazy smart okay so if you look at cabbage varieties we've got cabbage varieties that are mature in 45 days 65 days 75 days 85 days just wait until the helicopter goes over but we've got cabbage varieties that mature that that go all the way up to 120 130 days maturity how many months is 120 days four months four months okay 45 days is one and a half months if you plant all of those cabbages on the same day you will eat cabbage for close to five months and I say 120 days is four months but where does the five months come in so when I say that a crop will be mature in a hundred days it's not gonna they're not all 50 plants are mature on day 100 some will start maturing at day 85 some will start maturing a day 110. there's this window that you can work with and that is why heirloom seed the seed that we sell in our store is so much better because there's always a window looking at a hybrid a hybrid seed a hybrid seed it's mature day 95. wait for day 100 and you've lost half of your crop okay you need to be in there on the on the maturity date and this is what happens when you plan a Winter Garden plant all of your seedlings literally take one weekend plant all of your seedlings when they're ready to plant out plant them into the garden as the garden starts opening up start planting okay with um so that was cabbage for example so you've got four months worth of cabbage nobody wants to eat cabbage only for four months am I right okay it gets a bit much it does it does I mean you can have coleslaw you can have coleslaw you can have cooked cabbage you can have um stir fry coleslaw sorry wraps cabbage wraps yeah so look you can do a lot with cabbage but you can only do so much okay so what else do you do so Swiss chard what South Africans call spinach okay Swiss chard and spinach are two different things the stuff that and I'm so glad to see now you're walking to pick and pay and it's no longer called spinach it's called Swiss chard because it is Swiss chard okay it is not it might tastes like spinach but so does Moroccan Morocco's not spinach okay um if you plant Swiss chard if you plant Swiss chard now it really enjoys a cool season who's had a Swiss chard plant that's over a year old plenty people plenty is a Swiss chard plant in one of our Keyhole beads I don't know if it's still there but it was two years old the stem of the Swiss chard plant from the ground is about this tall it's a well-grown plant okay but if you plant it properly if you plant enough of them and it's it's always the case of you have 10 Swiss chard plants and you go you pick off the ten plants and you wonder is it enough for a family or four yes no absolutely cool the next thing is root crops okay you want to plant root crops and winter is the root crop season if you want carrots plant them in winter you plant carrots so you'll plant carrots from around the end of mid to the end of February you start planting carrots you plant those keratin if you plant enough carrots you will not have to buy carrots until spring because those carrots hold in the soil that's one of the best things about about planting carrots we will plant we'll plant enough carrots to feed all of our stuff and we will have carrots the whole of winter and we're not carrots the sweetest sorry in cold weather the minute a carrot plant experiences Frost it's brick bricks index climbs it's sweeter after Frost between the symptoms you can plant carrots between Tomatoes if you're planting summer carrots don't plant the long carrots plant a little Thumbelina the little um the short carrots those are quick growing carrots and they'll grow really well in summer but carrots are a winter crop Tomatoes don't grow in winter no because my tomatoes are still growing but then I can start planting the carrots now oh yes absolutely so 100 so what what the gentleman is saying is his his tomato plants are growing so in the interbed space he can he can he can put carrots down in the into bit space and that's absolutely perfect okay but those carrots will hold there's no reason and I see people lifting their carrots in the middle of winter they left a whole bed of carrots and now they're processing the carrots don't do that lift the carrots in Spring and process them for the rest of Summer otherwise you pull the carrots out of the ground in Winter and they will be the best carrots that you've ever eaten who grows carrots that look like hey why sorry transplanting is one but it's not the only reason sorry not the hard soil you're very close sorry Jay rooting yes so transplanting so when you transplant a carrot it gets J rooted you can't transplant a carrot with the root straight and always gets bent like this but that's J rooting doesn't give you the carrots that look like this okay who puts manure down with their carrots do your carrots look like this don't don't use manure with your carrots manure it stimulates the production of roots okay and you don't want to over stimulate a root crop to produce Roots because then it's going to look like it came out of a science experiment okay we this area is called clip View one thing that clip view has is a lot of clip we grow carrots that are straight in the soil that has a lot of cup because we don't put manure with our carrots okay so if you're planting carrots if you've put manure down in your vegetable garden make sure that you put a hungry crop into that manure before you put carrots in what is a hungry crop pumpkins squash watermelon anything that produces big fruit okay they will help to reduce the fertility that's in that soil for when for when you want to plant your carrots cool who plants character when you pull him up you who plants carrots and when you pull one carrot up you get 15. how do you stop that send them out is one way you can mix them with flour or sand I don't like flour um because it's too fine okay what I like to do is I like to take the the I like to take the seed packet so if you imagine this is the seed packet [Music] if you imagine this is the seed packet and you make a little V like this and you just tap it what happens is the seeds line up in a line and they go down and you just tap the seeds like this my wife doesn't like to do it like that what she loves to do is she likes to mix radish and carrot seed together so she mixes two parts radish seed to one part carrot seed and she she plants it in a line the nice thing is that the radish seed comes up in four days so you can see where you planted your carrots okay because that's always the problem okay so the ready seed comes up you can see where you planted the carrots and then you pick the radish and as you pick the radish it thins the carrots out because they inter they interspersed probably her way is smarter don't tell her I sit there cool so winter soil Improvement is also a Time or winter time is also a time to improve your summer soil where is that noise is it someone's car going off clearly Okay so your your Winter Garden most people don't plant a winter garden that's the same size as their summer garden the beds that you that you are planting that you are not planting in over winter what you want to do is you want to plant something in those beds okay and the reason for this is Plants provide a protective cover on your soil if there's no soil if there's no covering to your soil what happens is the soil biology actually dies and what happens is the biology decreases over winter okay because there's nothing feeding the soil and I'll explain how the feeding the soil works now but what happens is that biology it literally dies down to a point where it just sustains itself and then you go okay fine it's spring I need to start planting stuff for now I need to improve my soil and I need to put compost and I need to put fertilizer and then that whole biological activity now needs to spin up okay to actually feed those plants if you keep something growing in the soil that biology doesn't die Okay so the the purest form of capitalism didn't think this would be a political discussion did you the purest form of cattle of capitalism is what happens between a plant and what happens to uh between a plant and the minerals in the soil it's the purest form of capitalism so a plant [Music] you have the plants growing in the soil you have the soil you have the fungi inside the soil and you have the bacteria inside the soil and you have the minerals inside the soil so how do the minerals get to the plot does the plant get them the bacteria does it you're 100 correct so what happens is a plant has something called exudates okay the plant works out I need um silicon or I need calcium or I need sulfur or I need some element inside the soil what the plant does is it releases and exudite in the soil that exudate is liquid sugar that liquid sugar feeds the fungi the fungi takes the sugar and the sugar says I am I I am money for sulfur the fungus goes to the bacteria and says I've got some of this you give me some sulfur I'll give you some of this and the plant gives it and the fungi gives it back to the plot that whole process it's absolutely amazing but it works on Exchange give me this I'll give you that eighty percent of the energy that a plant produces goes into the soil didn't know that you thought that you were eating the tomatoes 80 percent of the energy that a plant produces goes back into the soil okay and that and and those that liquid sugar is it's in the form of carbon so we all hear about people saying carbon capture and nurse and carbon exchange if you grow plants correctly you're putting carbon back into the soil in the form of liquid carbon that liquid carbon feeds the fungi the fungi feeds the bacteria the bacteria mine whatever the fungi one switches whatever the plant wants but the plant will tell the fungi and the bacteria wallet once by the type of exudite that it puts out if you don't have anything growing in your in in your soil over winter okay that entire economy collapses does it make sense so the whole idea is you want to have something living on your soil at all times so winter soil Improvement what do you want to do grow something what do you want to grow anything no seriously you want to grow anything so for years for years I've been a strong believer in planting veg as your winter green manure and we sell inoculated veg so it's a veg that's inoculated with the bacteria to um it's a it's a it's a nitrogen fixing rhizobium bacteria that fixes nitrogen inside the soil because I don't like spending money but you do you have to okay so if you can fix free atmospheric nitrogen into your soil via bacteria what's not to win okay it's just win-win all over the place what happens then is that the the plant that is covering your soil so if you go to a YouTube channel there's a video called vetch's King okay and I've I've been a strong believer in veg for many many years because I've seen what it does to our soils over winter it's it's absolutely stunning this year we are going to change it up okay we are going to plant a green manure crop of a I'm I'm busy designing it now but it looks like about 12 different species of winter crops some are nitrogen fixing some are not and it's a it's a it's a it's a varied multi-species green manure okay and we did soil tests last week Friday we will do soil tests again in Spring okay to see what the what the carbon increases but all of the investigation that I've done um has led me to I'm I believe I'm convinced that that we'll be doing the right thing however what I want you to do is plan something plant anything literally anything as long as it's growing and as long as it's covering the soil you will be improving the soil whether it's one species whether it's ten species it's entirely up to you okay which for for a um for an easy one veg is going to be literally what you want to what you want to plant okay those of you that are interested in the multi-species mix have a chat to me um and we'll probably put it on the website in the next two weeks or so once you've actually um made sure everything is 100 correct cool guys which um in Afrikaans is called vevica it's um it's it's a it's a it's a nitrogen fixing legume that's a it's a stunning crop it really really is a stunning crop I love it so what we do with it once it's grown is we actually chop it back so what we'll do is we'll chop the plant just below the soil surface leave the roots intact inside the soil and take the whole crop and just let it die down onto the beds and within [Music] six weeks it's gone we can't see it like it's literally it's gone it's fantastic it's a beautiful crop cool are there any questions about winter planting you can feed the veg to the Sheep you can feed it to the kettle you can feed it to the chickens and veggies normally planted as a as a winter grazing okay um for for Kettle and sheep but we don't use it as a winter grazing we use it as soil Improvement so when we get planted no no yeah so no so what you do is you would plant it now um there's about a six week window from now to when you should stop planting if you've got frost if you get bad Frost we get really bad Frost over here um so we've got about a six week window but if you don't get bad Frost you probably have an eight or a ten week window um what we do so veg self seeds very easily and this is something that you need to actually be aware of is that you don't want the pods on the veg plant to mature so they're self-seed into your soil because then you have veg cut and now you've got a weed veg I mean it's like you know who wants to weed veg nobody and and what we do when we plant our green veneers we don't if this is a bed over here we don't sprinkle the green manures on the bed like this because then you literally have to weed each plant individually what we'll do is we'll have a Furrow down the center of the bed and we will plant the veg in that Furrow so you have a very narrow Furrow where you've actually planted your plants what happens is the veg actually makes sorry Chennai I'm out of shot over here the vetch actually makes like a big mat so if it's planted in the center over here we take that net we pull the mat back and where the roots are going into the soil we just take a spade and we cut just below the soil surface so you leave the roots intact why do we leave the roots intact sorry that's one reason yes the nitrogen fixing that's another reason yes soil structure yes but not quite another reason sorry it creates air pockets in the soil no not really yes but not really keep going that they're all good they're all good at the back green shirt at the back so The Roots have x-rays no The Roots have died now there's no more exudates but yeah allows the minerals to go back into the soil yes you're missing one thing guys mulch no you're still missing one thing moisture sorry okay no it's not too difficult okay no it's not too difficult to pull them out okay so the reason why you leave the roots behind is water penetration what happens is the roots actually die and decompose and they leave little paths deep into the soil the minute it rains those paths are like straws and they go and it sucks the water directly down into the soil the next thing it does is because it's open Pathways any new plants that are planted inside there will use those Pathways to send their Roots even deeper the less work the plant has to do to establish a root system the better the plot cool didn't think about that one did you Okay so yes sir planted directly where the old plants were so if you if you're planting a Seedling you can plant it right next to it you can plant it where it was it doesn't actually matter what you need to remember is that if you look at a tree this tree over here the root system of that tree is larger than the actual tree is okay there is more tree Underground than there is tree above ground and that's exactly the same with the plants inside your vegetable garden there's more vegetable under the ground than there is plant above the ground if you if you pull the plant out you're pulling organic matter out of the soil okay and you're collapsing that soil structure you don't want to collapse the soil structure cool next question yes sir it's also a legume yeah okay so the mix that we're making is going to have Alfalfa and it's going to have veg in it so we're going to have Alfalfa vetch mustards kale um peas um there's a list like it's a long list okay so um is one better than the other no it isn't um but I think four or five are better than four or five separate plants four or five planted together the sum of a whole is worth more than the sum of the individual Parts if you know what I mean okay and it's exactly the same with with with planting um winter cover crops and summer cover crops for that matter we're going to be changing the whole our entire area that we're doing the whole green menu thing and I'm a big fan of green menus and I've been doing it wrong for so many years cool any other questions guys yes Ben based on my previous comment is it better than to cut all your plants off like just below the soil level very good very good question so the question is based on the previous comment about leaving the vet Roots intact is it better to leave the The Roots intact of the crops that you're pulling out to clear bed space my answer is yes for the exact same reason okay the only time that you want to be lifting a crop out of the soil is if you're lifting carrots because you want to eat the carrots or lifting potatoes because you want to eat the potatoes cool in the next two weeks I'm I'm busy finalizing um the seed sources because the seed source has to be correct it's not just any old seed so I'm busy finalizing the seed sources and I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm doing research to make sure that what we're putting together is actually going to work together so the vet we have for sale currently so you can go and buy veg in our store right now if you want to okay that's not a problem cool and I think we've got black oats as well we've got a number of clovers um which are all great for green Vineyards excellent guys yes ma'am good to see you again yes no so so vetch is a winter crop you don't want to be planting veg in summer you don't also don't want to be planting a crop that is in competition with the garlic okay garlic does not like competition doesn't matter if it's a veg crop that's going to be improving your soil the Garlic's not interested in you trying to improve its soil it's impro it's interested in it providing the best crop that it can if you are and giving the the garlic competition with the veg the veg will out-compete the garlic hands down cool so in the summer period you'd plant different green veneers okay um and um I have an idea as to what I want to do we normally use as a summer green manure we use something called Sun hemp which is also nitrogen fixing um but we're gonna we're gonna change it up as well but that's that's Summer's problem it's not right now's problem cool okay guys any questions why are these lying here okay so a very good question I mean there's just so many things that I've I I want to talk about so the fertilizers that you use over winter the majority of the crops that you grow over winter are Leaf crops lettuce cabbage I know broccoli is not a leaf crop but you're actually eating the flour but the majority of the crops that you eat over winter are Leaf crops all they are root crops root crops are generally grown in Winter Leaf crops are generally grown in winter so for a leaf crop you want to be feeding the leaves which is green okay for root crops you want to feed the roots which is a yellow fertilizer the 232 fertilizer if you if you put the wrong fertilizer so if you give the green fertilizer to carrots what happens you get beautiful carrots and when you pull the carrots you get this little thing like this yes who's put La in down on their carrots anybody nobody wants to put their hands up hey you put if you put a high nitrogen like La in or or Vita green um on a root crop you are stimulating Leaf growth because that is what the nitrogen does it stimulates Leaf growth it doesn't matter whether it's an organic or whether it's a synthetic if you stimulate the leaf growth you will get leaves if you stimulate the roots so the 232 the Vita grow actually stimulates roots if you feed this to your root crops you're going to get great root crops okay the the difference as well is you don't want to over fertilize even with a certified organic fertilizer like tailbone Organics if you over fertilize the plants you will kill your plants if you drink too much water what's going to happen you're gonna die okay but water's good for you okay it's exactly the same with plants if you give them too much of a good thing they will die cool what's the right volume of fertilizer to put down or tailbone Organics 50 grams 10 out of 10. 100 to 150 grams of fertilizer per running meter or per square meter what you can do is you can go to the tailbone stand right here on the corner have a chat to clear your Grant they will give you samples of the tailborne fertilizers okay and run a trial with it like literally run a trial if you've known me for a while you'll know that I like running trials okay do something make a trial test it because then I can say to you I have tried that and these were my results but the fact that my results were something doesn't mean it'll be the same results with you it might be completely different and if I say this is what you must do you know what go I don't think so let me try something else and try something else it's the only way that we learn and we learn every single year we will try something new and we will learn something new every single year okay and what happens is we give it back to you in feedback and say this is what worked for us cool any other questions guys yes sir have like a plan writers and fixing time throughout throughout the year okay so the question is should you plant nitrogen fixing plants throughout the year the thing is plant s that have the ability to fix nitrogen every single year okay you plant green beans they fix nitrogen you plant peas they fix nitrogen you plant um who plants fenugreek does anybody plant fenugreek okay a fenugreek is a herb um it's called messy who plants messy does anybody plant methi nobody okay fenugreek it's a herb it's used as a as a as a spice or it's used as a as a green it's nitrogen fixing um broad beans nitrogen fixing so there's a lot of things that you plant that are naturally nitrogen fixing plants the the difference that you have is that just because you plant a bean you go and buy a packet of beans from living seeds or from anybody else that doesn't sell great seeds thank you so that was nasty hey if you if you buy a packet of bean seeds the effect of you planting the bean seed inside the soil does not mean that it's nitrogen fixing why hundred percent it needs the bacteria if your soil is deficient in nitrogen fixing bacteria the bean plant will grow it'll produce fantastic beans it's not going to fix nitrogen because the bacteria is not present okay and the bacteria the nitrogen fixing bacteria that works on peas doesn't work on beans as well that very similar bacteria but you need a bacteria for peas and you need a bacteria for beans didn't know that did you okay so the cool thing is we actually sell the bacteria inside the shop comes in little vowels I think who's bought like 30 40 bucks how much are they 40 red okay for nitrogen fixing um bacteria it's like next to nothing you mix it with water you water onto your plants job is done and you have to do it once and as long as you keep your soil improved you shouldn't have to reapply nitrogen fixing bacteria because they will go dormant if there's no if there's no bean plant there they'll actually go dormant and wait for a bean plant and they can wait for a couple of years cool any other questions guys yes you put this tutorizer I know it lasts about four months so let's say you want to go from a leafy crop to a root crop how long after putting the fish language you actually wait okay nothing to worry about nothing to worry about as long as you're not feeding the root crop a nitrogen fixing bacteria it's fun it's a case of two or three months later it's done the job is done it's not gonna it's not gonna sit inside the soil and build up inside the soil to actually cause problems cool so guys who's planting a veggie garden this winter who's making a larger very good veggie garden than they ever did before so we were at Pick and Pay yesterday buying buying the beautifuls for for the peruval strolls I mean and we know the owner quite well and I mean we don't buy vegetables I don't know why but we don't buy vegetables apparently lettuce is like 20 or 30 bucks ahead there he is it's ludicrous for a lettuce they don't last no so let me tell you a story that's actually very interesting that rabbits won't eat the shop bought letters we we used to have a worm farm before we started these worm farms over here we had a little personal worm farm at the house and I had big tractor tires that was my worm farm and we were given a whole lot of lettuce from a lettuce packing company in the area and I thought fantastic feed it to the worm farms it killed the worms like this then if it was poison on the latest I don't know what it was but within 48 hours all the worms were dead we don't buy letters because my worms don't like lettuce foreign cool guys yeah so um I have a feeling just listening to people paying 30 bucks for a head of lettuce which is it's ludicrous um if you spend 30 bucks on a mixed packet of letters you will not eat letters for two years you'll not buy let us for two years sorry you'll not buy liters for two years if you pay 30 bucks for one packet of mixed lettuce I think it's got three or four hundred seeds in okay that's one liters for every second day for two years um and I think it's going to get worse okay um I I really I really think it's gonna get worse so I encourage you guys to plant a big vegetable garden this winter and plant stuff that that you can use if you're not gonna eat cabbage guys don't blonde cabbage okay what I would recommend that you do because no one likes kale am I right I mean you look at all of the memes and the jokes on Facebook and everyone like like kale nobody eats kale if you if you grow kale we've had people here that have said that have said to me that is kale I will not eat it it is disgusting and I said to them he has a hundred round note if you find that this kale is disgusting I haven't lost 100 yet okay the kale that you grow yourself tastes completely different to kale that you buy in the stores okay um it's it's a tastes completely different and we actually enjoy in Winter we will make a green salad using kale leaves it's young kale leaves absolutely fantastic guys plant a big veggie Gordon okay you will be happy seriously you will be happy cool any other questions guys yes ma'am do you need a plant anything for winter pollination so you wouldn't plant there are no crops off the top of my head there are no crops that require winter pollination however and I'm not talking about honeybees okay and don't get me wrong I we have our own beehives uh our own honey halves um I'm a very strong believer in planting crops to feed solitary bees South Africa has over 520 species of bee only one and if you scientific there's two it's two subspecies it's apis melifera scooter Lata which is the honeybee up here and ate smelly apus smellifera capensus which is the kaipanibi okay those are the two commercial bees the other 519 plus species of bee are solitary bees or they in very very small colonies like the mapani bees and things like that and they need food over winter if you go and look in our show Garden have you seen the little bee hotels okay go and stand in front of the bee hotels just go and stand in front of them and you watch the bees that are going in and what the bees are doing is they're busy filling those holes they fill it with pollen and if you have a look underneath the hole you'll see there's like a little yellow where the pollen has actually dropped off his legs or her legs as she's gone in so what she does is she pecks pollen into the hole and She lays an egg she packs pollen She lays another egg she packs pollen She lays another egg and she folds the whole tube with pollen and eggs do you know what the amazing thing is the egg that was laid last hatches first what the egg that lays the last hatches first because the egg hatches eats the pollen and then flies off the next one hatches eats the pollen and flies off if the first one hatched how's he going to get out okay how amazing is that okay so if you guys are planting veggies over winter plant some flowers okay the flowers look nice you can cut in for free put them on the on the um on the dining room table but you're also feeding the solitary bees which are the which are the bees that we should be looking after everybody goes the honeybee the honeybee and yes the honeybee but it's the solitary bees that are also so important cool any other questions guys thank you very much thank you for coming out
