Thank you so much, Scott. I have learnt a lot from your videos.
8% humidity…lol I live in Kansas we regularly get 75-95% humidity
Thank you for all the great content!! I greatly appreciate it!!
I have garden and I totally agree to these pointers.
Nice video Scott
It is so funny to me to see other gardeners present look a bed with horse radish no weeds, while in my garden the horse radish is the weed !
You are a fantastic teacher. You are so clear and concise, and you talk at the right pace and really break down concepts to make them digestible. Thank you. 😊 huge help
Brand new gardener here and your videos are brilliant. 31 years old now and I'm turning into my father
I learned so much today while watching this wonderful video. Thank You for all your hard work and time educating all who watch. Hope you're having a great summer.
Love the way you are calm and you are talking so clearly .its very important to know that we all arent native english speakers .Thanks a lot for your valuble information and you do this the way that we all can understand . Thanks 😊
This guy is amazing. He really has some outstanding insights and ideas. Truly a very advanced gardener!!
Maybe “just pick 3 or 4 right now” with the harvesting as well as the weeding …?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I just started gardening at my new place, lots of prep work but a got a few tomato plants flowering and some jalapeños coming out. Therapeutic stuff and listening to you is calming sir thank you. Just found your video and I'll subscribe.
I love to fish with my GRANDS, they get line tangled in the weeds, so grandma takes a deer/elk antler (you can use a metal rake and I go out rake/pull the lake weeds ,( leaving some for fish) and take those weeds and mulch with that. Garden goes nuts.
When it comes to not tilling, what about when your soil starts to get really compacted over time? Like if you're growing carrots but the soil doesn't feel loose?
On forgetting to harvest: This was my first year gardening. I had four beautiful romaine lettuce plants in the spring. I was about to harvest them, but I put it off for just one more day. Well, the next day our pest control came for mosquito spray (don't come at me about this; we live in a HORRIBLE area for mosquitos, like 17 bites on my 3 year old in just THREE minutes of being outside)…I covered all the plants in plastic and they baked in the sun for about 4 hours…all the lettuce ROTTED in that amount of time and I lost the entire crop. Never got to eat any of it.
I just watched a chipmunk steal a cherry tomato, I question his usefulness in the garden haha. Love your videos. I've been gardening all my life and there is oh so much more to learn. Thank you.
I planted a cherry tree. Fortunately not a good taste, it is now pruned for blossom and a present for the birds. They probably got the best tasting ones so we let them and settle for the look. Thanks for another great video
Thanks. Good tips. I have more questions. I will get back to you soon

I have start3d a new allotment which was a wasteland 2 months ago. I am digging out beds for spring but there have been a few comments from a fellow gardener that my beds are too small. Is there an ideal size – what should I be aiming for? Advice greatly appreciated!
The majority of vegetables available in Supermarket stores, are never seen growing in the wild.. Why is this? Where do they all originate from in the wild, initially, so as to then mass produce them for stores? ;)..
My predator animals are birds, field mice, rats, rabbits, and squirrels. Do I really want them all in my garden?
And, the ants… I have not wanted them to build ant beds there, either. Shall I really not disturb the ants? I have been guilty of having a tomato only bed. Thanks for the tip.
Oh, please address this question: I built my raised beds using concrete cinder blocks. I live in hot central Texas. Maybe the concrete holds the heat? Please advise me.
Stay awesome Scott
I feel like the monoculture mistake might be the result of trying to eliminate a variable in growing. If the plants are all the same, theb they need the same stuff, and I wont run the risk of hurting my other crops. It may also be convenience too. When you're a beginner, it's much easier to keep track of crops when you have them separated and you want to watch every one of them grow.
