I have the grow veg garden planner and it has been so worth the investment. I used it last year and I'm already setting it up for this coming season – even though I can't plant out until basically May!
Thank you for all your help throughout the year. I am still very much a beginner but am getting there with your help. Every blessing to you and your family for 2023.
Greetings Ben from across the pond. Hope your holidays with the familily were awesome and hugs to Rosy. I'm going to try this garden planner plus I'm going to grow eveything under the sun that I can lol. Have a blessed New Year and happy, prosperious garden from our familiy to yours.🥕🍆🥔🧄🥬🥒
This past season, I did a lot of veggies in buckets and I think they dried out way too much. Potatoes– I'll put a lot of mulch under and around them this year, and mulch the tops. Carrots– they grow way better for me in central NC in the fall than the spring. Bugs– I need to be way better getting a handle on the Japanese beetles this next year, they ate up my soybean plants.
Read my mind today! Thanks for showing us your process!
Thanks for the 2023 plan!
Great info! Happy new year! Grow on, 2023!
Happy New Year! The artic storm devastated my winter garden with temps ranging from nighttime lows as low as -12C to daytime highs of -5C. It was too many days of subfreezing temperatures. It survived the worst part of the storm, the first three days, but on the fourth day I woke to heavy damage, and the fifth day brought 95 percent devastation. A few odd plants survived, and weeds. Not a single weed died in the freeze—just my garden veggies. It has been 42 years since a storm this severe hit our area, Talladega Alabama. Next year, I'll try rear round gardening again. Also, I will be adding a 3.5m x 3m x 2m poly tunnel greenhouse to my garden with three raised beds 244cm x 60cm x 24cm inside it. For now, I am pulling weeds, and covering the raised beds and grow pots with a thick blanket of leaves. In about a week, I will be ordering Albion Strawberry plants for my GreenStalk tower, and purchasing lumber for the greenhouse base and raised beds.
those are all great tips ben your garden looks great I hope It was a successful one In 2022 I am looking forward to It being a successful one for me as well In 2023 I hope you have a happy new

Such amazingly useful information! I also appreciate how you speak and enunciate. Not too fast tempo and it's clear enough for even my damaged hearing to follow. I really appreciate it.
Love all your advice for the garden Ben ❤ Hope you have a wonderful new year, and hope to see many videos next year
Hi Ben hope you had a great Christmas brilliant video I do find it's more guide lines I tend to just plant what I can where I have the space I do find this the be much more sufficient stay safe and all the best in the new year
Thank you, Ben! We have a pretty shady yard with not much flat area but we grow what we can.
I love the garden planner— have used it for years !
Thanks for sharing this video, Ben. Great information and reminders.
2022 garden season here in Tennessee Cumberland Plateau was challenging to say the least. Cold spring w/heavy rains, May-July summer unbearable heat, Aug-Oct drought with early freeze. The season was not good for predators and pests either forcing them to searching for water discover irrigation systems, gardens and wreaking havoc. Irish potatoes were small in size and crop. Rabbits were extremely destructive and ate most of my herb garden as well. Amazingly sweet potatoes were looking fabulous. Late Sept I dug them up only to find nearly every root had a bite(s) out of them. Voles or rats burrowed under my 3ftx18ft bed and had earlier ate young corn with seed kernel still attached and decimated green beans, cucumbers and carrots. Not good for harvests. 2023 I'm converting my 12ft polytunnel, 16ft polytunnel and 10×10 polycarbonate to various hydroponics protective cover environments. 16ft will be stonewool slabs of tomatoes 14 plants and 4 bell peppers. 12ft will be peas/broccoli spring and carrot/beets fall in 5gal and 7 gal growbags drip hydro. 10×10 will be hot house for Irish potatoes (15gal growbags) and sweet potatoes compact variety vertical trellis (20gal growbags) in grow bags hydro drip. All grow bags ProMix soilless medium. I'll be starting seed and up potting to gal containers to transplant larger plants into raised inground beds. 2023 will be a trial for me duplicating plantings in both traditional inground raised beds and also inside poly tunnels/greenhouses. Now that I'm depending on much of my harvest 2023 I want to ensure crop yields. I live at 2,000ft elevation and it seems conditions challenging to gardening, invasive critters also ramp up. I'll be subscribing again this year – love the planner. It really helps me to initially plan 2 polytunnels, 1 polycarbonate year round greenhouse and 8 inground raised beds and also helps to rotate vegs and take advantage Spring, Summer and Fall crops as well as adopt flexible gardening depending on weather. Hope you folks are staying warm over there. Similar brutal temps that we experienced two weeks ago are coming your way…
