If you’re a beginning gardener or someone who has been growing food and flowers for years, I will help you take your gardening expertise to the next level and have fun doing it.
I've been gardening for 30 years, 10 of which I was mentored by a University of California Certified Master Gardener.
I don’t just love gardening, it is my passion and other than my family and friends, it is my life. I wake up thinking about it and go to sleep thinking about it. Sometimes it keeps me up at night thinking about new and better ways of growing organically.
Now, in my 30th year of gardening, I am going to use RU-vid to pass on the gift of inspiration and knowledge that I was freely given three decades ago by an amazing gardener who probably never knew just how important a role she played in my life. I only hope I can help you discover what a life-changing past-time gardening can be.
I have a cherry tomato plant that produces terrible tasting tomatoes. The plant is healthy. Is there any chance the tomatoes will taste better when there's more sunshine? This was a volunteer. I pulled the other volunteer that also produced terrible tasting tomatoes.
What causes the leaves to curl my tomatoes and looking awesome this year but I have noticed that the leaves are starting to curl what do I to do to prevent this from happening thanks enjoy your channel😊
The elites are trying to shut down ALL small gardening. Check out what is happening in the state of Oregon by restricting water. Then, there is Pennsylvania 's attacks on the Amish. Bill Gates is one of the largest owner of farmland in the USA right now. Why? Does he have any experience in agriculture? Are you down with eating fake meat and bugs? They are using FEAR of pandemic of avian flu to crush backyard chickens. Wake up and say NO!
I've been using ES on my lawn this year. My DIY fertilizer is beer ammonia club soda baby shampoo and Epsom salt. My lawn is doing better this year than last. But I think I will skip the Epsom salt from now on.
I quit trying to grow yellow squash and zucchini because of squash borers killing my plants every year. Bu this year I bought new dirt, even a new raised bed this year and have planted some of both. This morning I laid a thick layer of DE around my baby squashes hoping to make it harder for any eggs to attach to my their stems. I just now ordered a row cover and some BT. I was wondering if it would be helpful to inject some BT into the plants after their stems are larger, as a preventative instead of waiting to find damage? Thank you for your very helpful videos.
I remember picking tomatoes off the vine of my mom's garden in the summer, under the sun. Just a knife, salt shaker, and a tomato that's still warm from the sun. I can't remember any food that's better than that. Very few life events are better than that, lol! ;)
There are many videos of snails ignoring copper tape. salt works but better to put on a mat so that it does not go into the soil. We have the Spanish slug in the UK which is double that of the native kind.
u can forget gardening outside as of this year. fall periennals came and now blooming which mean ground temp not sustainable to life they are cooling us to death with no sun only uv.
How do I get the sunflowers in without the bird eating the seeds… I’ve tried a few times now… they think I’m putting out a snack for them lol Great video!
I planted a variety of peppers, including tomatillos, bell peppers, and some different types of hot peppers and in less than 24 hours most of the leaves had been eaten by a kind of beetle. I’ve never encountered that before, so I sprayed it with a dish soap solutionand of course it poured rain right after I did that so I’m sure it’s all washed away. Super frustrating.
I had master gardner tell me to mix powdered milk according to package instructions and pour it around the base of the plant every week. ❤ I was growing Amish paste, Hungarian Oxheart and German pink tomatoes. I had tomatoes after the 2nd frost in North Alabama! I had also mixed cotton gin waste into the soil. They were incredibly strong, hugh healthy plants!!
Horse troughs stainless or galvanized works excellent keeps the earth bonding connection , just one thing is drill every 6 inches with a 3/8 or so drill bit maybe bigger , but go around at the base adding drainage
It’s odd but I’m going to vary the design one tipped sideways and ima use a cutoff wheel to cut 50 gallon drums and drill them for aeration , and to protect and keep gophers put especially for fruit trees
Wood wise anything that touches or is in dirt you want to treat it with Linseed oil or a natural form of wood treatment because termites will attack it
I've got onions that I'm not sure if they're right for my zone if they happen to be short day onions and I'm in a long day onion Zone will they still grow?
This is my first year growing onions. I was given red onion plant and I sowed my own in winter. I watched this video after I started. So... not sure how they will do. Fingers crossed.
First time gardener here. I bought a few tomato plants from my local amish auction not knowing what i got myself into!! I googled "Growing Tomatoes" and Doctor Google brought me to you <3 i have watched a lot of your videos and now im hooked. i want it ALL, i am already planning my garden NEXT year, raised beds, amazing trellises, fantastic mini fruit trees.
Hi Brian, I’m in SoCal zone 10A-B. I started seedlings and growing trays May 5 and within a week the potting soil was crusted over. I got zinnia, and a few cosmos. Can you tell me how to prevent this from happening again thank you
I'm in central California and my garden soil (sandy soil) crusts over. I've been adding compost and manure for 48 years and still can't stop the soil from developing a water repelling crust. I have to always break up the ground before watering.
