1
00:00:02,833 --> 00:00:07,433
ON OUR WEBSITE.

2
00:00:04,633 --> 00:00:09,533
>> WELL, WITH THE FIRST REAL

3
00:00:06,066 --> 00:00:11,033
FROST OF THE SEASON JUST AROUND

4
00:00:07,433 --> 00:00:13,466
THE CORNER IT'S TIME TO PUT OUR

5
00:00:09,533 --> 00:00:13,800
GARDENS TO BED AND THAT, OF

6
00:00:11,033 --> 00:00:16,533
COURSE, INCLUDING OUR WTTW

7
00:00:13,466 --> 00:00:19,700
GARDEN.

8
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:21,233
HERE NOW AS ALWAYS TO GUIDE US

9
00:00:16,533 --> 00:00:23,933
THROUGH THE PROCESS IS THE

10
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:25,633
ORGANIC GARDENER JEANNE NOLAN.

11
00:00:21,233 --> 00:00:26,833
OK, LOOKS LIKE WE WILL HAVE

12
00:00:23,933 --> 00:00:28,133
FROST REAL FROST SOONER RATHER

13
00:00:25,633 --> 00:00:29,433
THAN LATER.

14
00:00:26,833 --> 00:00:31,166
GENERALLY SPEAKING WHAT DO YOU

15
00:00:28,133 --> 00:00:32,833
DO IN YOUR GARDEN?

16
00:00:29,433 --> 00:00:33,100
>> WELL, FIRST I HARVEST.

17
00:00:31,166 --> 00:00:35,533
AND I PICK EVERYTHING THAT I

18
00:00:32,833 --> 00:00:36,700
CAN.

19
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:39,466
AND FIND A WAY TO STORE IT SO IT

20
00:00:35,533 --> 00:00:41,066
WILL LAST.

21
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:42,000
AND THEN I START PULLING THE

22
00:00:39,466 --> 00:00:43,433
PLANTS OUT AND PUTTING THEM IN

23
00:00:41,066 --> 00:00:45,600
THE COMPOST.

24
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,933
AND THEN I START THINKING ABOUT

25
00:00:43,433 --> 00:00:48,233
NEXT YEAR.

26
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,433
>> SO HOW MUCH PLANNING DO YOU

27
00:00:46,933 --> 00:00:51,600
DO OVER THE WINTER?

28
00:00:48,233 --> 00:00:52,200
>> OH, A TON.

29
00:00:49,433 --> 00:00:54,833
ALONG WITH THE TEAM OF PEOPLE AT

30
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,600
OUR COMPANY.

31
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:58,066
WE DO A LOT OF PLANNING.

32
00:00:54,833 --> 00:00:59,666
EVERY GARDEN WE DO IS DRAWN OUT

33
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,400
AND THERE IS A PLAN BECAUSE THE

34
00:00:58,066 --> 00:01:02,866
CROPS NEED TO BE MOVED.

35
00:00:59,666 --> 00:01:04,700
THE LOCATION OF WHERE THEY ARE

36
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,866
PLANTED IN THE GARDEN AND IT IS

37
00:01:02,866 --> 00:01:09,166
A LOT OF FUN.

38
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:10,833
>> JEANNE NOLAN AND I WERE OUT

39
00:01:05,866 --> 00:01:12,366
IN THE WTTW GARDEN TODAY TO

40
00:01:09,166 --> 00:01:12,733
CHECK ON THE COLD FRAME AND

41
00:01:10,833 --> 00:01:13,900
PLANT OUR FINAL CROP OF THE

42
00:01:12,366 --> 00:01:15,400
SEASON.

43
00:01:12,733 --> 00:01:17,700
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

44
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:19,066
AS WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS IT

45
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,666
LOOKS LIKE A CLUMP OF WEEDS.

46
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:24,000
BUT IT ISN'T.

47
00:01:19,066 --> 00:01:25,000
>> IT'S NOT.

48
00:01:20,666 --> 00:01:28,366
IT IS KNOWN AS GREEN MANURE.

49
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:31,466
OR A COVER CROP.

50
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:34,900
THIS IS A WAY TO FEED OUR SOIL.

51
00:01:28,366 --> 00:01:35,200
A VERY NATURAL, HEALTHY ORGANIC

52
00:01:31,466 --> 00:01:37,533
WAY TO ADD NUTRIENTS IN THE

53
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:41,333
SOIL.

54
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:44,500
WE WERE GROWING THREE CROPS.

55
00:01:37,533 --> 00:01:49,133
WINTER RYE, PEAS AND SOMETHING

56
00:01:41,333 --> 00:01:52,533
CALLED HARRY VICH A LEG GUM THAT

57
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:53,166
FIXE NITROGEN IN THE SOIL.

58
00:01:49,133 --> 00:01:55,433
>> ARE ANY OF THESE EDIBLE?

59
00:01:52,533 --> 00:01:56,800
>> NOT REALLY.

60
00:01:53,166 --> 00:01:59,266
IN THE SPRING WE WILL CHOP THEM

61
00:01:55,433 --> 00:02:00,500
UP AND MIX THEM INTO THE SOIL

62
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:04,566
AND THEY WILL DECOMPOSE AND ADD

63
00:01:59,266 --> 00:02:06,300
TO THE SOIL.

64
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:06,833
>> IT LOOKS A LITTLE WEEDY?

65
00:02:04,566 --> 00:02:07,766
>> THIS IS HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO

66
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:08,500
LOOK.

67
00:02:06,833 --> 00:02:10,633
>> IT'S SERVING A PURPOSE.

68
00:02:07,766 --> 00:02:11,033
>> IT IS.

69
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:13,366
>> WHAT DO WE HAVE UNDER THIS

70
00:02:10,633 --> 00:02:15,100
COVER?

71
00:02:11,033 --> 00:02:20,266
>> THIS IS OUR COLD FRAME OUR

72
00:02:13,366 --> 00:02:22,000
MINI GREENHOUSE.

73
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:23,033
AND THE PLANTS THAT YOU SEE WERE

74
00:02:20,266 --> 00:02:25,500
TRANSPLANTED FROM OTHER PARTS IN

75
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,966
THE GARDEN INTO HERE.

76
00:02:23,033 --> 00:02:30,800
SO WE PUT OUR HERBS IN HERE.

77
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:34,233
SOME SPINACH AND CHARRED.

78
00:02:28,966 --> 00:02:36,466
SOME SCALLIONS AND TODAY WE WILL

79
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:38,266
DO MORE PLANTING IN HERE.

80
00:02:34,233 --> 00:02:39,700
WE ARE PLANTING SPINACH IT IS

81
00:02:36,466 --> 00:02:41,433
THE MOST COLD HARDY.

82
00:02:38,266 --> 00:02:41,800
>> I DO NOT THINK OF

83
00:02:39,700 --> 00:02:43,433
TRANSPLANTING SOMETHING IN EARLY

84
00:02:41,433 --> 00:02:44,633
NOVEMBER.

85
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,433
BUT IT IS OK WHEN YOU --

86
00:02:43,433 --> 00:02:48,733
IN THIS SITUATION IT IS.

87
00:02:44,633 --> 00:02:49,733
AND IT BUYS US A LITTLE TIME.

88
00:02:46,433 --> 00:02:51,066
WE GET TO USE THE PLANTS A

89
00:02:48,733 --> 00:02:52,033
LITTLE BIT LONGER.

90
00:02:49,733 --> 00:02:52,666
>> AND THEY WILL BE PRODUCTIVE

91
00:02:51,066 --> 00:02:53,166
DOWN THE ROAD?

92
00:02:52,033 --> 00:02:55,600
>> THEY WILL.

93
00:02:52,666 --> 00:02:58,466
THEY WILL.

94
00:02:53,166 --> 00:02:59,266
AND IN THE SPRING, AGAIN, WE'LL

95
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:01,400
USE THIS FOR A FRESH CROP OF

96
00:02:58,466 --> 00:03:02,333
EARLY GREENS.

97
00:02:59,266 --> 00:03:05,566
>> AS I LOOK AT THE COVER IT

98
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,666
LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING THAT

99
00:03:02,333 --> 00:03:08,633
SOMEBODY WHO IS SOMEWHAT HANDY

100
00:03:05,566 --> 00:03:09,700
COULD PUT TOGETHER.

101
00:03:06,666 --> 00:03:11,166
BUT IF THEY DO NOT WANT TO CAN

102
00:03:08,633 --> 00:03:14,433
YOU BUY THESE?

103
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:14,966
>> YOU CAN BUY THEM.

104
00:03:11,166 --> 00:03:16,333
EASY TO MAKE AND THEY ARE

105
00:03:14,433 --> 00:03:17,600
COMMON.

106
00:03:14,966 --> 00:03:18,400
CALLED A COLD FRAME.

107
00:03:16,333 --> 00:03:20,133
>> A COLD FRAME.

108
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:23,400
GOT IT.

109
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:26,133
LET'S MOVE ON BECAUSE YOU ARE

110
00:03:20,133 --> 00:03:28,733
PLANTING OTHER THINGS.

111
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,933
>> SO THE LAST HOORAH, THE FINAL

112
00:03:26,133 --> 00:03:36,033
CROP THAT WE PLANT HERE IN

113
00:03:28,733 --> 00:03:38,466
CHICAGO IS GARLIC.

114
00:03:29,933 --> 00:03:40,300
AND THESE ARE ACTUALLY BULBS OF

115
00:03:36,033 --> 00:03:42,433
GARLIC THAT I GREW AT MY HOME

116
00:03:38,466 --> 00:03:42,766
LAST YEAR PLANTED THEM THIS TIME

117
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:45,333
AND HARVESTED THEM IN THE

118
00:03:42,433 --> 00:03:47,400
SUMMER.

119
00:03:42,766 --> 00:03:49,500
ORGANIC GARLIC AND NOW WE ARE

120
00:03:45,333 --> 00:03:51,766
BREAKING THEM INTO INDIVIDUAL

121
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,866
CLOVES AND PLANTING THEM.

122
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:55,533
>> COULD I GO TO THE STORE AND

123
00:03:51,766 --> 00:03:55,866
BUY SOME?

124
00:03:52,866 --> 00:03:56,500
>> IF IT'S CERTIFIED ORGANIC YOU

125
00:03:55,533 --> 00:03:57,700
CAN.

126
00:03:55,866 --> 00:03:59,333
>> IF NOT?

127
00:03:56,500 --> 00:04:05,200
>> THERE IS A CHANCE THAT IT'S

128
00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:07,433
BEEN TREATED WITH SOMETHING TO

129
00:03:59,333 --> 00:04:12,866
KEEP IT FROM SPROUTING.

130
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:15,000
SO THIS BEGAN AS SEED GARLIC

131
00:04:07,433 --> 00:04:16,666
THAT WE PURCHASED WHICH IS

132
00:04:12,866 --> 00:04:18,266
VETTED CLOVES THAT WE PLANT AND

133
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,400
EVERY SIX INCHES APART AND YOU

134
00:04:16,666 --> 00:04:20,666
PUT THEM IN PRETTY DEEP.

135
00:04:18,266 --> 00:04:25,800
WE ARE GOING TO REALLY PUSH THEM

136
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:28,266
IN.

137
00:04:20,666 --> 00:04:29,833
PUSH IT IN AS DEEP AS YOU CAN.

138
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,833
AND THREE, FOUR INCHES AND COVER

139
00:04:28,266 --> 00:04:31,333
THEM UP AND RIGHT DOWN THE LINE

140
00:04:29,833 --> 00:04:33,033
AND PUT THEM IN.

141
00:04:30,833 --> 00:04:34,766
>> ALL RIGHT.

142
00:04:31,333 --> 00:04:35,933
BEFORE YOU DO THAT, I WANT TO

143
00:04:33,033 --> 00:04:38,000
ASK YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THE

144
00:04:34,766 --> 00:04:40,266
TOMATO PLANT.

145
00:04:35,933 --> 00:04:42,933
WHAT IS ON THE HORIZON?

146
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,100
AND WHAT ARE THE PROSPECTS FOR

147
00:04:40,266 --> 00:04:44,700
THIS TOMATO PLANT THAT HAS BEEN

148
00:04:42,933 --> 00:04:45,800
WONDERFULLY GIVING.

149
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:47,866
>> SO GENEROUS.

150
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:49,733
IT HAS BEEN.

151
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,466
WELL, OUR GARDEN HAS BEEN KISSED

152
00:04:47,866 --> 00:04:53,966
BY A LIGHT FROST AT THIS POINT.

153
00:04:49,733 --> 00:04:55,433
YOU CAN SEE.

154
00:04:51,466 --> 00:04:58,066
AND THIS WEEK WE ARE DEFINITELY

155
00:04:53,966 --> 00:04:59,066
GETTING A HARD FROST IT'S OVER.

156
00:04:55,433 --> 00:05:00,933
SO IT IS TIME TO PULL ANYTHING

157
00:04:58,066 --> 00:05:02,633
EDIBLE OFF OF HERE.

158
00:04:59,066 --> 00:05:04,066
AND WE WILL BE PUTTING THIS

159
00:05:00,933 --> 00:05:05,433
GARDEN TO BED.

160
00:05:02,633 --> 00:05:06,933
>> AND WHEN YOU SAY PUTTING TO

161
00:05:04,066 --> 00:05:08,866
BED WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

162
00:05:05,433 --> 00:05:10,366
>> WE WILL BE REMOVING THE

163
00:05:06,933 --> 00:05:12,466
PLANTS AND PUTTING THEM IN OUR

164
00:05:08,866 --> 00:05:14,366
COMPOST CUTTING THEM UP AND

165
00:05:10,366 --> 00:05:16,333
RECYCLING THEM.

166
00:05:12,466 --> 00:05:17,600
AND RAKING IT SMOOTH AND THE

167
00:05:14,366 --> 00:05:20,500
IRRIGATION HAS BEEN TURNED OFF.

168
00:05:16,333 --> 00:05:22,200
AND IT'S DONE.

169
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,333
>> WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU JUST LAZY

170
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:25,433
THIS FALL AND YOU LEAVE IT UP?

171
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:27,300
>> IF YOU LEAVE IT UP.

172
00:05:23,333 --> 00:05:29,100
NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.

173
00:05:25,433 --> 00:05:30,433
THE MICRO ORGANISMS IN THE SOIL

174
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:32,000
ARE HAPPY AND FEEDING ON THE

175
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:33,800
ROOTS AND IN THE SPRING YOU WILL

176
00:05:30,433 --> 00:05:34,566
DEAL WITH IT.

177
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,400
>> CLEAN IT UP IN THE SPRING TO

178
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,733
MAKE ROOM?

179
00:05:34,566 --> 00:05:41,633
>> I LIKE TO STORE THE GAUGES

180
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:43,133
INDOORS BECAUSE THEY RUST.

181
00:05:37,733 --> 00:05:45,733
AND I PREFER THAT THEY BE LAST A

182
00:05:41,633 --> 00:05:47,066
LONGTIME AND LOOK GOOD, I LIKE

183
00:05:43,133 --> 00:05:48,633
TO GET ALL THE SUPPORTS IN.

184
00:05:45,733 --> 00:05:57,966
>> LAST QUESTION HAS TO DO WITH

185
00:05:47,066 --> 00:05:58,333
THE FRUIT AT THE BOTTOM.

186
00:05:48,633 --> 00:05:59,866
DO YOU EVER SCAFF SCAFF SCAVANGE

187
00:05:57,966 --> 00:06:01,666
IT?

188
00:05:58,333 --> 00:06:02,500
>> I DO.

189
00:05:59,866 --> 00:06:03,800
IF NOBODY ELSE HAS EATEN IT THEN

190
00:06:01,666 --> 00:06:05,266
IT'S MINE.

191
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:07,166
>> HOW WOULD YOU ASSESS THE

192
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,966
GROWING SEASON.

193
00:06:05,266 --> 00:06:10,100
>> GOOD, NOT GREAT.

194
00:06:07,166 --> 00:06:12,533
>> WHY WAS IT NOT GREAT?

195
00:06:08,966 --> 00:06:13,933
>> MOTHER NATURE IS IN CONTROL

196
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:15,533
AND THE WEATHER THREW CHALLENGES

197
00:06:12,533 --> 00:06:15,833
OUR WAY.

198
00:06:13,933 --> 00:06:19,600
SOME PEOPLE THEIR GARDENS DID

199
00:06:15,533 --> 00:06:21,533
WELL.

200
00:06:15,833 --> 00:06:23,166
BUT IN OTHER GARDENS, IT WAS A

201
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,700
LITTLE DISAPPOINTING AS FAR AS

202
00:06:21,533 --> 00:06:25,733
PRODUCTIVITY OF CERTAIN CROPS.

203
00:06:23,166 --> 00:06:28,300
>> WHAT DID THE BEST?

204
00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:28,600
>> GOOD QUESTION.

205
00:06:25,733 --> 00:06:31,433
OUR EARLY SPRING CROPS WERE

206
00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:33,800
GREAT.

207
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:35,166
WE DID NOT REALLY SEE TROUBLE

208
00:06:31,433 --> 00:06:35,466
UNTIL EARLY AUGUST HALFWAY

209
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,633
THROUGH AUGUST AND WHERE IS THE

210
00:06:35,166 --> 00:06:38,366
HEAT?

211
00:06:35,466 --> 00:06:40,166
WHERE IS THE SUMMER?

212
00:06:36,633 --> 00:06:42,366
WHERE IS THE WEATHER?

213
00:06:38,366 --> 00:06:43,800
BUT UP UNTIL THEN IT WAS GOOD.

214
00:06:40,166 --> 00:06:45,533
>> AND TRENDS FOR NEXT YEAR?

215
00:06:42,366 --> 00:06:47,533
>> GROW YOUR OWN FOOD MOVEMENT

216
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:49,266
IS ON A ROLL HERE.
