Thank you so much for your information packed video including what to plant, your zone and your last frost date. That was very helpful..
Glad to see you grow your own popcorn. Most people do not know that fresh home-grown popcorn is more tender than the year-old stuff you buy in the store.
Well Riding in a car here. Can’t get the thing to play through. Will try later. Happy weekend.
Take in to consideration how much sun your garden gets. My garden doesn’t get all day sun. My garden grows slower than it should.
It does get very hot & humid here just like it does for you. But I did replant my salad cart about a week ago (an elevated bed with radish, lettuce mesclun, long standing spinach, Bibb lettuce, arugula) just to see what I can accomplish under shade with lots of water & mulch. My spring salad cart wasn't very successful, I didn't seed as aggressively as I should have & I think there wasn't enough morning sun on it.
Madam video super,👌👌👌👌👌
Hi 🌹

I live in zone five, probably not much of a difference in zone six. What method of seed starting do you like the best, jiffy Peat pellets, bio sponges, or seed starting mix.
So happy my husband found your channel. He's been looking for an Ohio/Zone 5/6 channel. We are in zone 6A/5B (extreme NW Ohio) The line between 6A and 5B literally goes about a mile west of our house – LOL Love your videos and will be following faithfully. BTW – love your hat! Mind sharing where you got it???
I have 2 – 4×8 raised beds in a local community garden where we are growing "historical" seed varieties. I have 2 – 2×6 elevated beds in my backyard where I am growing peas, carrots, onions, okra, scarlet runner beans and trying to grow beets but only one germinated 🙂 I grow tomatoes and peppers in tubs.
Thanks I am in zone 5 Indiana midway has been very dry here got .5 inches of rain on Friday
I live in Southern Ontario, I think we're about zone 6a-6b. I planted some radishes on June 1st that I'm harvesting now. The Garden Giant radishes just went to seed and got pithy with minimal root development, but the French Breakfast radishes are just as good as they were a month ago, maybe even better (our first crop of radishes wasn't as good because late April/early May was quite cool so they took longer than ideal to mature).
Hi Jen sHaLoM 🕎🙏 your so pretty today
🙂
I think you are
So cute!
So intelligent!
So hard-working!
🤗🙏
Awesome information 🤩 zone 6a Ohio Thanks for sharing!
O-h…I-o
I am 6a Ohio as well. Loving your information
Potatoes, winter squash,beans,peppers, and at the end of the month cabbage, beets, broccoli
Thank you 👍
Hello I love your channel and how you explain everything!!! You said peanuts!!! How do you grow peanuts?
thanks for the tips. I thought I might have missed my butternut squash window. my first attempt failed. the seeds rotted. Gonna get it in today.
Your definitely the best thing in Ohio. I know. Ive been there.
I like how you do the monthly videos and post the varieties of the things you plant. I like knowing where they come from, some companies are better at some types of seed.
I am in Zone 6a in Toledo, Ohio and I plant my second crop of tomato, pepper, eggplant and zucchini around june 15 so I don't have it all mature at once with the same crops I planted in May. It gives me a longer harvest. I also planted my beans at the start of June.
Another Great video; Well this was the year that I decided to go all in on building beds in our garden and what a project that was. Also to aggravate the project we have had one of the wettest and coolest springs in history. The farmers around us are even getting some fields planted. Anyway around the first of June we started direct seeding our garden. We planted peas, pole beans and bush beans, radishes, dill, spinach, onions and carrots. We also planted out our tomatoes plants and put in some raspberries and blackberries. Then the rains came again and soak everything to the core. then we had a trip planned and left for the 7th and came back on the 11th because we got tired of camping in the rain! So we just finished planting yesterday. We were finally able to start planting again on the 15th and planted WW sweet onion sets, replanted all our beans and peas (I think it was just too wet and cold for direct planting) ground was too cold. I am still tilling the corn and potato areas and they are still really to wet to till but we got them in the ground yesterday finally. We also direct planting several types of squash and watermelon yesterday. It is kind of do or die time here in North Central Idaho zone 6b. I am starting a modified no-till garden using my own compost and worm casting so its an adventure in change for us after 50 years or row gardening. Thanks for all your videos I look forward to watching them all the time!
Little by little our tomatoes and pepper seedlings are going into the ground now in 6b. We waited until we nighttime temps were above 50. Not sure if that is right or not. We started seeds at different times so some sit on the porch to grow and harden off. Hoping for a good harvest and the same for all gardeners out there!
I’m in West Virginia, getting ready to plant some more sweet corn, hope it grows good, thanks for the video!
🌼🌻🐝☀️🌺👨🌾 I love your garden!! Such a great inspiration to me as I am just also a gardener and YouTube creator. You put a lot of work and love into growing your garden! All the hard work is worth it to me to get to see the new growth everyday it brings me so much joy! I still have so much to learn and I appreciate your tips, tricks! Please Keep sharing! I would love to learn more about gardening from each other.
No lettuce? Really. I'm in Cleveland (zone 5, but global warming now has us creeping towards zone 6 per our local Ohio State extension office). I grow lettuce all summer long, and sow new starts on a window sill on the 1st and 15th of every month, and then letting them grow for a couple weeks outside on a shady picnic table. My last sowing is on September 15th. So when a lettuce plant in the garden bolts, we always have several replacements ready to go. I even "break" some gardening rules, often succession cropping lettuce in the same garden spot 2 or 3 times a year, albeit never two years in a row. This has kept us in fresh-harvested lettuce from May through November for decades.
Guess i will still try toget out my 63 day corn
Thanks for sharing! I will start a vertical garden here in the 6A,B Ohio wonderland. I am grateful to glean from an expert such as yourself.
Thank you
I'm in zone 9B, but we're still hovering in the 60s right now, and I've had to give up on starting my cucs and squashes outside. I broke out my heat mat. In May/June! This is craziness, haha! I love your videos. Knowing I have a much later frost date than you do, and seeing that you would just now be planting and sowing the seeds I'm starting right now on my heat mat gives me hope of a sucessful warm-weather season despite this weird weather!
I am transplanting castor beans into yard spaces and direct sowing bush beans into my first greenstalk. Thanks for the continued content! ❤
I just got my tomatoes and peppers trans planted out. Cause it was soon dry here and we just got some rain too boost the change over I put grass clippings around all my plants too keep the moisture in. And once a week I water with comfrey tea. And transplanted pumpkin and cucumbers a week ago. And pole beans a few weeks before. It's was hard this year we had a frost in May. Witch we haven't had before. I've learn too start sew in garden with clear gallon jugs over like a mini green house but with the kids on till no chance of frost then lids come off till night time and go back on.
Love having so much in common, I am Buffalo, NY! I saw you mentioned Ginger mint. I can't find seeds for that can you direct me where I can get those?
How did I miss this vid? I was just wondering what to plant this month – perfect timing. I like your format here: Quick, direct, and specific. Love the background garden view. Bee oo tee ful.
I’m in WV, on the Ohio river.
Great video!
This may be a silly question, but where did you get your hat? I’m a long time brimmed hat wearer and gardener, but I’m not familiar with that perfect hat you’ve got.
