Love both flowers and veggies garden picture 💗
At Garderder Scott when do I move asparagus?
Watching post live. Love the background.
Do you have any comments on humic acid?
Hi Gardner Scott. Love the background. You definitely had me fooled, I thought you were really in your garden! Looking forward to more background designs. My question is this…another gardening channel I like to watch is Hollis and Nancy. When he gets ready to plant, he digs a little deeper hole and puts a whole fish in the bottom and covers it with gardening lime. He says that is the only "fertilizer" that he uses, and he does have a great garden. What do you think about that? Thank you Scott.
New background graphic is great. I’d love seasonal and/or video, sunflowers sound great. Also think about lowering the shot, more of the ground and less of the white of the house. The white bleaches you out a bit.
Question: when you pull the plants, do you pull the roots out or just cut off at soil level? I have always pulled up the roots but am rethinking. I do plant in my raised beds year round (zone 10b).
Thank you as always for the great info.
Love the new background. I thought you were outside until you said it was a background. I am adding compost to my raised beds this fall. Should I till it in or just on top?
If I remember correctly from past videos when you source manure you should check if the animal has access to salt blocks and has been on medications due to those items making it not good for the garden, correct? I want to make sure before I start calling around.
I love your videos. Especially the Monday even chats. I live in South Africa in the southern hemisphere but still follow. I merely add 6 months mentally and use your information to plan ahead.
Growing pickle cucumbers and I wanted to save one for seed. How do I know if the seeds inside are ripe?
Most of them I pick early and small, but the one I chose for seed is huge (8 to 10 inches long)
Looking forward to the videos on the cold frame. I've had my eye out for some old windows to repurpose into a cold frame. Love the Monday videos. Thanks!
I love ❤️ different backgrounds, even close ups would be nice, and I don’t think movement would distract. I can’t watch live because of work obligations, but I don’t think that movement would matter for live viewing! You already have great videos, but I’m glad you are invested in making them even better!!!😊
You have seed saver that is an organization that collects all kinds of rare seeds
Can you do a video on how to overwinter Peppers in containers, and some peppers that are in your garden that is in the garden bed. Those that you aren't able to dig up.
What is the difference between a cold frame, and a greenhouse? Especially if you make them out of the same type of materials
What's the tomatoes close to some bananas that will help speed up the ripening, or go on ahead and can them and use them over the winter as Fried Green Tomatoes
Missed live today, due to the fires here in So. Oregon… On a brighter note my tomatoes are finally ripening due to the smoke bringing our temps under 90 to 100+ degrees since what seems like late May. 1st trial this year with "micro climating" our cucumbers. Planted them close in my bed, and during our hot summer, middle of the bed felt like it was 70 to 80 degrees threw out the heat, over 40 quarts of pickles canned this year not including all the lemon cucumbers. Definitely experimenting more next year with our zone 8 temps, even though it should be called zone 6 to 10 depending on what mother nature wants to do.
Gardner Scott ? I have had wood chips in my chicken run for over a year now should I take them out and just use them on top of my garden bed without compost in them? The chickens have turned a lot of them into Rich dirt as well so what are your thoughts on that ?
About identifying apple trees, I found a website called applename which has a very in-depth questionaire to fill in with the facts you've noticed about your apple tree. It appeared to be a legit site. I was trying to identify my apple, turns out it's most likely a Tolman Sweet.
GARDEN SCOTT, IS THERE ANY PLANTS WILL CROSS POLLINATE WITH WATERMELON, CANTALOUPE AND LUFFA PLANTS? BECAUSE SOME OF MY LUFFA HAVE WHITE SEEDS. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD GROW A DIFFERENT TYPE OF LUFFA. THANK YOU
Greetings from Transylvania. Very useful video, as always. I planted some cover crops in some of my beds (alfalfa, clover, mustard), I'm a bit concerned about how will I kill the perennials next spring. Do you have any advice?
You tube are not notifying us about your and other gardening videos. do you know why
Hi Garner Scott. Love your channel and you have given me great advise. I'm completely new to posting on websites so I hope you get my question. I have not found anyone that addresses a pest that I find in my raised beds very often, grubs. Are they really a problem and how can you control them? I believe I lost two Japanese cucumber plants to grubs because my plants were doing great and all of sudden they began to droop and died. When I dug up the plants found many grubs on that raised bed. Please advise. Thank you
👍👍👍👌♥️
Is it a good or bad idea to use soil from a flower pot that is done for growing a vegetable in a pot for a fall crop? Thanks!
My 9yr old daughter loves your channel… you are the Bob Ross of gardening. Thank you for all you do!!
Do you know how to plant sweet corn in succession so it matures at different times. Seems like if I plant at different times it seems to all catch up and matures at once.
Not sure whether you've addressed this already, bbut how do you combat potato beetles?
Ever since i planted sunflower in the same bed as my basil, most of the leafhoppers migrated to the sunflower, leaving my basil to grow huge & bushy, which i just harvested & made tons of pesto.
Is sticky trap waterproof? It rains often here.
My bell peppers that were infested with bacterial leaf spot, stripped of all their leaves and dying, now have grown lots of leaves and in fact are fruiting😁 Good thing my instinct told me not to pull them out then.
I used to think the sell by date was like an expiration date and would throw out my seeds and buy new the following year. I just ordered seeds for next spring. Ive been hearing that there could be a shortage and I was nervous I might not get seeds I want.
I had a wonderful discovery today😁
My red rice in its original plastic bag was invaded by ants that were nesting in it, so I threw away by broadcasted the rice on my garden beds as organic material.
One of the beds has soil that was just amended & is still empty. I covered it with a slab of stone to keep the stray cats away, so the soil remains very moist. I discovered today that the rice there have germinated into young padi leaves. This is so exciting!
Hi Gardener Scott, hope all's well. Just a suggestion for another Tee Shirt "I Grow 'Honesty' for happiness" all the best from anne-marie in Ireland
Thanks for another good Q and A. Very interesting information at 1:12:50. Cheers
Hello Gardener Scott, what tomato do you recommend here in Colorado. I thought you mentioned it in one of your other videos but I can't seem to track it down – I thought it was a black or purple variety. Thanks.
Love the background👍👍
Yes seasonal background is a great idea!
Moving background with insects & winds blowing will be wonderful 👍👍
What’s your opinion about growing vegetables in plastic pots, containers or bags, knowing now that plastic leaches out poisonous substance when exposed to the sun.
Here in Indonesia it’s even a common practice for farmers to grow in plastic bags because they’re so cheap.
I think you could surprise us with all manner of backdrops you have. They’re all appealing.
Here in zone 5, I found that although the soil benefits from putting food scraps right in the garden, the nutrients are short lived and it attracts pests like slugs and wire worms. These of course make their way to the growing plants and damage them. I also tried pureeing food scraps and putting them directly into the garden. This broke down the food scraps quickly but ironically bloated the earthworms as too much water was needed to purée and they’re ingesting all that extra water with the scraps. (This can still be done just not exclusively.)
In the end, I found the dynamics of a healthy compost pile had the greatest results in amendments that benefit the garden.. Because of the variety of additives, the space to break them down and the handling of final product which allows screening of pests, it proved a more satisfying soil amendment for the garden.
Interestingly, In Dick Raymond’s 1983 book “Joy Of Gardening,” he writes that side dressing plants with 2 handfuls of good compost is an alternative to 1 tbsp of 5-10-10 fertilizer or 2 handfuls of dehydrated manure or 1-2 tsp of alfalfa meal.
But it seems that compost is an amendment best added in the fall to slow release until spring.
I encountered an unexpected source of potassium that worked so well on my flowering plants, I call it
“Banana Brew”
By soaking fresh (cut up) banana peels in water for 7 days in the fridge and adding that strained water in a 1cup : 1 gallon water ratio and watering my plants as they set flowers, they literally exploded into blooms. My mandevilla, bougainvillaea, roses and even tomatoes responded unbelievably well. I made sure to water my plants with plain water first and then added just enough banana brew to wet the entire surface of the plant or pot.
I did end up eating a lot of bananas this year!!!!🥴
Oh, and to anyone who wants to go bananas, once a week only!!!!
👌
What ever wholes dirt I put a plant in it, and anything for a trellis.
I am only 24 minutes into this video and found such appreciation on what you spoke about soil. Our little back yard will be composed of 2 raised steel beds and o few fabric pots to ensure we are in compliance with our HOA. To learn we can reuse our soil with the proper amending helped a lot as we can't afford to re-landscape all the xeriscaped we put in, nor refill a lot of pots. Wish we knew about growing food prior to xeriscaping. Still looking forward to see what we can do in our small space. Wish there was a container gardening club around here….lol😊. Any tips are always welcomed Scott,
What a nice tan u have!
