  1. This is a good reminder to get another planting in, I also plant cilantro since it grows throughout the winter to provide a great harvest.

  2. You are correct….I'm over it! Tomatoes are terrible after waaaay too much hot sun, now wasaaay too much rain. Unsalvageable. Onions didd pretty well. Only lost 3. Peppers are still putting up a terrific fight, tho they are smaller. I only got 3 eatable cucumbers off my one plant. Sun was just too powerful no matter how much water i gave. No man, I'm done. And carrots? Yeah I would try them again if i could find more organic seed, but thats doubtful too. I just cannot afford more fertilizer, soil and mulch as I'm all out of everything this time. Bummer, but thanks

  3. The life of my zucchini plant is slowly being sucked away. Pests! I’ve put diatomaceous earth on it, hoping that will help.

  4. If I eat one more zucchini or tomato, I'm going to turn red and green. I shouldn't complain. My garden has been blessed enough to share my bounty with others.

  5. When younger and planted my garden in the ground, now is when the weeds took over my garden as high 90s with 80% humidity was just too much. However, this year I planted in small 4' beds and only planted tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers, and accidentally let them get so thick that they aren't getting many weeds. I also put pine needles and bark on top which I am sure helped, I still got good production though. I did the aspirin spray and more calcium but still had a few bad tomatoes, and birds got to a few. I cut the bird pecks out and still froze them though.

  6. I just planted peas. Some of my cucumbers are look7ng great and some look tough. Maybe I should try planting some seeds. I will be planting more beans and hoping we don't get an early frost.
    We can't get plants at garden centers here in ND after about the 1st of July.

  7. We're in for the long haul. Things are way too crazy in the world right now to quit. Potatoes, cold hearty tomatoes, peas, celery, cabbage, winter squash, turnips, carrots, beets, rutabagas, cucumbers, spinach, cold hearty greens, and anything else I think of before it's too late. Fall gardens are so much more enjoyable as the weather cools and pest pressure goes down finally.

  8. San Diego went from May Grey to June Gloom to HOT! I definitely tired of the heat. My poor plants are giving but not as much as I hoped. My tomatillos were doing so well and then overnight died!

  9. South Texas 9b. Out of all my spring crops I only have peppers, basil, asparagus and all my citrus and fruit plants going strong. All 7 varieties of my tomatoes succumbed to the heat and blight last month. Starting my fall seeds and remaining hopeful for the better seasons ahead. Thanks Brian!!!

  10. Now 3 years in a row, I sowed cucumbers in the spring, and I'm harvesting them till the end of October..I'm in a northern Croatia, but that doesn't matter, found a way to keep them healthy the whole season – LOCATION! I have grape vines crawling over them, making a shade throughout the year! I have grapes and cucumber hanging next to each other, and now, even tomatoes, both started climbing, and reached the grape vines, and from there, they support each other! I think that shade is the most important thing in growing cucumbers, cause I planted one bed on the different location, just to see if shade is the answer, and it is! I had healthy and plentiful harvest from other bed too, but when the first heat wave came, that was it for them! But the ones under the grapes, are THRIVING!

  11. A bit burned out too but did plant again in July. The horn worms were my worst nightmare and went to war with them. Planning to plant some carrots and beets this month. Not doing much through the next couple of days as our hvac died today and no one can come until at least Monday. We do love our gardens. Enjoy your videos.

  12. I live near the cental coast of Calif. I have never had such a great yield of yellow squash like this year. I harvest 5 to 6 squash every two to three days from just 3 plants. Amazing…

  13. My mother/gardening companion passed last August. So I didn't plant my garden. Just couldn't. But I took chicken poop and mixed it in with soil, thinking it had a year to become less acidic. Ended up with a bed of potatoes, a bed of squash, and a bed of tomatoes. Like crazy growing better then if I had of planted them myself. Tomatoes have fruit, just still green, up on Vancouver Island so just hitting our hot hot temps about now… lol hot hot 85ish, 29c today whatever that converts to. Lol

  14. Last year the Japanese beetles were horrible and seemingly never ending. This Summer it’s been a miracle. Next to no beetles.

  15. I just sowing my bushes cucumbers, snap beans, 🫘 my 1st time to grow 2nd round! Hope it’s work!❤❤❤Kennebunk, Maine🪴🪴

  16. Utah- peas were done in June I planted more beets and bean to replace them, just harvested my potatoes today that I planted (grow bags) 1st week of April-but my plants are just now starting to give me produce . So no not tired of my garden here, and with companion planting I have no pest problem, going organic. But needed Ideas of what to plant in the bags potatoes were in, I was thinking garlic maybe onions also and let over winter-covered

  17. Here in coastal SC I had moles and heat kill most tomatoes. Bugs tried to wipe out chard and beet greens. Beans are fighting heat and white flies but I'm hanging in with the pole beans. Still have eggplant and bell peppers are doing well. White potatoes died but sweets are doing well. I don't do squash/cukes but did get some tronboccino (sp) to grow but they died. I'll be starting new beet and have tomato seedlings (8-12") to set out for 2nd season. May try carrots in a flat bed tray in the shade as it's still in 90s. Will start dill as you suggest. I'll wait 2-3 weeks to see about green peas.
