John Amato here in Charleston, SC. We're right on the border of Zone 8-9. I am a professional chef and passionate gardener. In 2020 I converted my entire backyard into a vegetable garden. I sell my produce to high end chefs and my local community. Sharing my recipes, ideas, and experiences.
12 inches deep for industrial growing, and higher latitudes where you want to be able to have a tractor and be able to cultivate the ground safely and not destroy the crowns. For home, gardening in warmer latitudes you only need 3-4inches really unless you are intent on trying to grow white asparagus
I'm just seeing this video for the first time. I think the last plant is lemon grass. I grow it in a pot as well, and it can get pretty enormous. During covid time, I drank ginger & lemon grass tea with honey every day. I still do it on a regular basis. Thanks for the video. I learned a lot. 😊
I prefer growing the Japanese Eggplant, because its texture is more delicate than a large seedy eggplant and it has a distinct mild flavor. Stir fry with Thai Basil, sweet peppers, glass noodles, and a little shrimp for a real treat.
I grow long beans, they ARE great! I also stir fry them, but your recipes have a nice flair, will be trying these tonight! Thanks, hope to see more content from garden to table, maybe with eggplant?
@@Realatmx I tried growing this vegetable for the first time last year it took a very long time for it to grow to any size but seems like a very healthy vegetable to be eating
We can eat bulbs only... Or can eat leaves too.... Fennel seeds are great mouth freshener really good if you have bad breath/ good for gut health it helps digest food relief gases
Im looking at heat loving gardens, in Arizona we get hotter, no humidity gets us. Also ive finally got soil, not PH +8, 0.5% organics, got that to soil levels now, for humidity i have a dedicated mister on timer that helps at just sun up, and sundown. Im a stuborn gardener, now just being trying to outsmart bugs.
I can’t even get past the smell of eggplant to even attempt to eat it. I can’t even get close to the plants without feeling sick. I tried to make eggplant Parmesan with some of our garden eggplants and I couldn’t even do it. 😂
Their flowers are edible and great in quesadillas. I like to harvest early mornings close to sunrise. Sometimes you can catch them right when they’re about to open.
Looking great. If you apply hay under the strawberries and around the base it protects your fruit from rotting. I tried this method last year and I got great results. It also helps retain moisture.
If you haven't found any pepper seeds yet a couple of good places to try for seeds are Baker Creek rare Seed Company out of Missouri. the other one is MI Gardner out of Michigan they both have website and RU-vid channels
Excellent video, my faves are Okra, yard-long beans they never quit, and luffa, I will never have to grow them again I got so many. I also ate the young ones but I do prefer zucchini. Thank you I also live in the deep south.
In your opinion what is the difference between the zucchini and the loofah eating wise? Any comments you have on the luffa would be helpful we live in the Deep Central South
