Final Winter Garden Tour | Freeze Damage & Early Spring Plans

Winter gave us a run for our money this year, so today I’m sharing my final winter garden tour and taking inventory of what survived our two-week freeze and what didn’t. From frost-damaged broccoli and peas that broke my heart, to surprise Brussels sprout wins in the hydroponics and a few stubborn cabbages hanging on, we’re walking through it all. Zone 9A winter gardening can be unpredictable, and with summer crops about to take over, this is one last look at the cool season garden before tomatoes, peppers, and new projects (including a hydroponic rebuild!) step in. Some lessons learned, some unexpected victories, and lots of plans ahead — goodbye winter, it’s almost go time. 🌱 Reach us at: thelaidbackhomestead@gmail.com Affiliate Links: -trays: https://amzn.to/4kpnHjc -self watering bucket inserts: https://amzn.to/473Ah1U Chapters: 00:00 – Final Winter Garden Tour | Freeze Damage Overview 00:56 – Garden Reflectors Explained | Plant Support System 01:35 – Winter Vegetable Bed Tour | Broccoli, Cabbage, Peas & More 07:03 – Grow Bag Removal & New Hydroponic Build Plans 07:31 – Hydroponic Winter Garden | Brussels Sprouts Success 11:22 – Hardening Off Seedlings & Propagation Update 12:26 – Self-Watering Buckets & Side Beds | Winter Results 16:16 – Greenhouse Tour | Tomatoes, Peppers & Early Spring Growth #garden #homestead #gardening #gardentours #thelaidbackhomestead #backyardgardening #smallspacegardening #containergardening #hydroponics #greenhouse 🌱 Welcome to The Laid-Back Homestead! 🌱 Here we inspire everyone to grow food in ANY space—backyards, balconies, or indoors.
