hello this is Russell Smith with Grow It Now 
garden products. We're back here with
you today for another exciting episode
of tips and tricks when using your
grow it now miniature greenhouses
the question the customer has asked me is how
do I grow my cold hardy crops
organically without using
pesticides
so what we're gonna talk about today is
cabbage cauliflower broccoli brussel
sprouts
how do I get those how do I grow those
without getting bugs in them. I am sure all of
you have taken your cabbage inside
soaked it in water and all of a sudden five
or six worms have
floated to the top not a very good thing
to see especially when you're about to
consume that nice piece of cabbage
So here's what we recommend plant so
early
that there's no bugs out so here's our
cabbage cauliflower broccoli we planted
I'm going to show you a cabbage plant
we planted in a month and a half ago as
you can see it is a 
wonderful 30 degrees outside and in the
last month and a half we've had
temperatures down to 16 degrees
we've had snow we had over six inches of
snow that's stuck around for about three
or four days
and temperatures didn't get above 32 so
this is the power of the miniature
greenhouse
let's pull this plant off right here her
this
major greenhouse of there. That is my
cabbage plant. Look how beautiful that
is how healthy it is

be harvesting this
