Now you just showed planting a seed near the tomatoes.
Great video. A plethora of info.
Something keeps eating our corn as soon as it sprouts, not seedling. There is a little hole where the seed was. Any ideas.
Thank you Brian. I have not seen 1 bee yet here in Florida. I tried hand fertilizing my tomatoes but it didn't work. Any suggestions?
Carrots are my must grow this Summer. My Son is growing the green beans this year, so my job is the carrots. Nice because they are basically no work.
I live in the pacific northwest on the coast and the temperatures are cooler…early mornings it could be in the 40's (and thats in the summer) it gets to be difficult to grow most vegetables..what would you prescribe for the type of veggies that are more favorable to our climate?
I have a couple catnip plants in a perennial bed that are absolutely covered in hover flies and parasitic wasps all summer. I am just getting to planting out the summer garden as we had a frost last week. Fingers crossed we are done now.
How deep should I plant my eggplants and peppers?
I ❤ okra but my annual go-to crop is peas!!! Nasturtium plants are my favorite repellent (besides the Heavenly marigolds).
I call my nasturtium plants pepper lettuce!!!! The leaves taste like peppery lettuce, the flowers are beautiful and edible and the caper-like berries are seeds I re-plant to keep the party going!! !😊
Another excellent video. Thank you. 🌻
We are aquaponics of cucumber, tomatoes,basil,mint, spinach, garlic, bunch onions: but squash, bean,corn, carrots, radishes peppers: other root veggies on ground. Our back gardening is busy: glad we don't have an HOA committee command center.
I live in the south of MS.and our peppers are loaded with baby peppers ❤
Thanks for the info!
Love your videos
Loved the outtakes 😍 BTW. I bought your book👍🏼👏🏼
Purple hull peas are my number one favorite veggie to grow and I struggle every year with the pest invasion😢
I’m a believer in companion plants for some. I always grow basil with my tomatoes. I have had only two hornworms in three years. I would say that’s pretty good.
Great video. Thanks for sharing this info.
Mainly determinate varieties of tomatoes, gynecious or parthenocarpic cucumbers and Zucchini, lots of peppers that i mostly give away
No link to free class. The link takes me to sign up for School of tradition skills. I can't find your Wednesday class. Thanks
Then plant corn in 2 rows East/West 😋
there is a thumbs down icon but no thumbs up icon for me to click! what's going on?
Saved to my Nourishing Traditions playlist, planting starts this week in northern British Columbia Can'tada.
Pam here, Tomatoes, Peppers, Zucchini, yellow squash, onion, spinach, carrot, radish, herbs, flowers,
Thank you, you never disappoint.
In my garden, I have Hollyhocks, and the leaf miners love saves my squash. I just trim out the Hollyhocks leaves. Works for me. Love next level gardening
Brian showed in the episode photos of cucumbers and squash. If you really want to produce cucumbers, armenians, zucchini, summer squash, winter squash, scallop gourds, gourds, … incorporate them with bean and (sugar) pea vines. Get the tallest, biggest, circular tomato plant metal teepee and plant in the surrounding soil. Beans will provide the extra nitrogen, while the leafy vine fruits will provide needed shade in upcoming summer heat, heat domes, and drought situations. This is a modern version of the indigenous population with corn, squash, and beans. The tomato metal teepee replaces the corn in this model. The taller and bigger the teepee is, the greater the plant and vining fruit production can happen.
If you make your own metal teepee then you have no limits in the height and conical perimeter size you can design. Horse fencing, with metal wire clippers, can make a tall and large inclining pyramidal structure that can hold up to the most intense concentrated planting density.
Otherwise, if you prefer, you can make HUGE tunnel fencing from horse fencing, and stake out in 1st row, bend, stake down in the 2nd row. You then have an entire canopy, whereby you can plant big vines on the outside, while having beans and (sugar) peas growing on the insides of the tunnel. The horse fencing can handle any weight, including melons, pumpkins, and large gourds.
If you use the tunnel method of tomatoes, you can plant tomatoes on both sides of the fencing, and allow them to grow upward and overhead, with tomato clips that hang from the horse fencing grid wires. In this you have maximized height, but also double planted in each row. This is advantageous … as when you are irrigating, you have only 1 irrigation (and fertilizer) line feeding both planting rows.
Hi I am a first time visitor to your you tube page. I live in the Caribbean the deep south of the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago, our rainy season has started on the first of June and ends in November.what plants can I plant around this time.
4×4 corn makes so much sense when I’m only planting for us two. Of course I want more than what we’ll eat so 4×4 makes total sense edit: I think I’ll be getting that companion plant book!
It keeps raining. I can't get everything planted. Too muddy. I have dozens of Christmas melon plants. No room for them!
Great information. Going to get your book too
Full garden mode squad ready for detail!!!
Thanks to you I've repurposed a hanging plant structure into a tomato trellis with eight indeterminate plants growing under it… Made my own diy tomohooks out of coat hangers and man I think this is going to be fun fun fun… Thanks for all you do!
Tried covering my carrots with wood pieces, it works carrot came up 3-4 days earlier. Thanks
Thank you🤠
Thank you Brian! Awesome!
Sadly I have a brown thumb.
For years I've tried growing everything. I've never got a tomato, despite years of trying. Never got a pepper despite many attempts. My Zucchinis produce one or two a year if any. My corn has never matured, something always eats the tassels else it's ruined by weather. I plant a dozen winter squash vines a year and get two to three squash from them. They're my best producer. I have had some luck with purslane, i get a salad's worth every year from a few square feet of space. I started sweet potato slips in March (exactly as you showed) they should be ready to go in the ground by November at the rate they're growing.
I thought adding composted chicken manure might help… nope.
If the world ends it's nothing but greenbriar, grass tops and nopales for me. lol
Beautiful Daisy and sheeplets enjoying pumpkins ……darn flies on her legs though. Can you make a video of a natural fly repellent, especially for Daisy…..if you have to invent it yourself…the more power to you.
Perfect timing! I just finished three 3 x5, 17 inch high metal garden beds. Lots of work and money.
I planted tomato plants and assortment of basil in them. So now that im completely wiped out from the whole process. You have just motivated me to add MORE! Thanks 😊 ❤ 🌼 Sylvia
