Found an African blue basil plant this spring, and boy, I've never had such happy bees! Amazing!
San Diego: Hi I've heard peppermint oil can repel rodents in the garden. Is this true, if so how do I dispurse it? Any suggestions for rodents eating my tomatoes?
okra gets tough fast. if it doesn't pinch off, it is tougher than i want. i eat okra raw in salads, so prefer small pods about 3" long. once it starts producing, check every day.
N California here – thanks for your valuable info! And wellness to all & your gardens!
You can also add powdered Vitamin C to chlorinated water to neutralize the chlorine and chloramines.
I had a soil test earlier this year. All is good. Should I have added fertilizer at the beginning of the season or throughout the season? I didn’t regularly but not I am wondering if I should have. My plants are not growing great. (41 tomato plants… maybe 20 tomatoes total).
2,200 views and only 190 likes! Those are rookie numbers, we need to pump those up
Thanks for mentioning that bee book and rhe comment about wasps. My oldest is terrified of bees/wasps and the comment on how wasps will ignore you in the garden was great. I'll be putting in a 25 gallon pond with 3 plants looking forward to seeing how it will effect the wildlife.
Thank you Carrie!! Hi Daisy and Josie 👋🏻
@gardener Scott what about saltwater pool water?
You can get some sprays from garden centres which are non-toxic to plants but birds and other animals absolutely hate it! The only issue is you have to remember to spray the stuff around according to instructions. Some sprays can go directly onto plants themselves and other sprays have to be sprayed around garden edges and railings and other surfaces near plants.
It is a beautiful thing to see so many gardeners from all over the world! What a kinship we all have over the love of gardening!
Great tips, new to gardening from Alberta, Canada
👍👍👍👌♥️
Hi I truly appreciate your help and time I've gotten back into something that I've lost for along time I live in Maryland
Delaware
Thank you for all of your very helpful information. What can I do to get rid of aphids growing in my cabbage and kale?
@gardenerscott Hey Gardener Scott, I live in southeast Idaho and am having problems with springtails eating my young sprouts, I read an article that said to try to use vinegar, but that was for home use, would that harm the sprouts or stunt their growth?
I have hard soil, I dug holes for hybird tomato plants 12" round 12" deep.
Mixed & filled with 70% garden soil 30% mushroom. compost. Planted late June 5th watered every 3 days.
Have some tomatoes now but most are all split.
What did I do wrong besides plant late.
Question: how would you add that inorganic fertilizer (I forget the name mentioned in the video) once the beds are filled. I'm planning a sample of the bulk soil (GA clay soil) off to get tested (my cousin works for a company and I can get it tested for free). I mixed my soil 50/50 with organic material while filling my beds. so A) I'm not sure I should add anything even if it comes back deficient in something based upon how much organic material i added (plus the bio-char) to amend the high clay content and B) if I should wait till the next growing season for the organic material to break down to test the soil.
Is it possible to regrow parsley from cuttings? If yes, how would i do it?
Hi Gardener Scott. Thanks for the advice. Two things I forgot to mention. . First of all, if you like, "Gardeners World," try "Gardening Australia," and "Garden Rescue." You need to watch "Gardening Australia" six months later because they're in the sounthern hemisphere, but I've found their advice extremely beneficial for my climate and growing conditions. Secondly, I talked to some local people, and they said that once the animals have learned that there is food and water in my area, there really is nothing that scares them. I think I will have to redesign my trellises to cover the garden and not the pathways like I like.
The very last thing we put into the garden was zucchini, a week later than other things in the same bed that were starting to come up, and a few weeks later than the next bed over, and amazingly the zucchini have grown into giant plants with huge solar panels, and the zucchini that grow from them can just appear in a few days, it's insane how prolific they are! We are aware of vine borers and did a few things to the base of the plants to help against them, as there were intrusions at the stems, but the plants are large enough to cope with it for now (or the random attempts to fix them worked, even though they were very haphazard). Anyway, we are so amazed at the zucchini's fast growth and production~

I'm from Florida
Many varieties and colors of Dragonflies, Butterflies and Spiders have made my garden their home. Really wonderful to see them everyday😊
After sundown, lots of bats roam my garden everyday.
I saw the largest giant locust i’ve seen in my life in my garden, almost as big as my palm and as long as 5-6 inches
My bell pepper plants that were devastated by bacterial leaf spots 3 weeks ago did not die & are making a comeback, new leaves are starting to grow. What i did was remove all the infected leaves leaving just bare stems to which I was afraid they might die, but that God they survived🙏😊
I tried direct sowing Swiss Chard, Red Russian Kale, Arugula, That Basil, Red Basil straight in my raised beds, they germinated in a few days and are growing well. So excited😁
My carrot seeds germinated in 2-3 days in my raised bed. They’re growing well. So excited😁
I noticed that some fruit seeds from kitchen scraps that i tossed in the compost have germinated. They grow very leggy and white in color, in my dark and covered compost bins.
Guppies are very very good for mosquitoes
I love this content the most. Everything you put out is relaxing but these types are nice to listen to while I garden. Good length and so many different interesting topics.
I like the time machine idea. It really hit me recently when I saw a bird perched on the branch of a desert willow tree that I planted from a whip. Obviously I knew the tree had grown quite a bit, but I was struck that it had grown enough for birds to perch on. Very cool!
3-4 inch ea for okra max 5 in or they will be too touch. Out of 12 plant I usually get 75-100 pods
I love the time machine concept! I do often think about how far I’ve come and where I’m going. Also I have 4 children, so I think about my future grandchildren and how I will be teaching them and will be building a garden per child! I grew up in Manhattan nyc and my mother couldn’t keep a potted plant alive in our apt. ! Last week I invited my nieces and nephews to a child garden lunch. They’re coming this weekend and I plan to have music playing, serving only what I have grown and teaching them to start seeds that they are able to plant in my beds for the fall. They’re y I grew pumpkins this year! So, they can pick pumpkins and we can make pies and carve them. I appreciate your philosophical perspective on gardening. Great chat!!
