Thank you for not heading your videos with "you'd be silly not to plant these now" or "you'd be foolish not to plant these now" or "you MUST plant these now". I appreciate you just saying what I could plant, not that I'm an idiot if I don't.
The sheer amount of bees I have at my new home is unreal! I couldn't be happier. No one in my area sprays so we still have quite the abundance of every type of bee. Will be growing vertical with squash now
Zucchini is my all-time favorite, actually yellow zucchini, it is sweeter than its green sister! It is great on the grill cut into "planks" or cut into chunks, cooked in butter and onion, and finished with heavy cream for a very tasty keto side dish!
I love this video! Here in Texas my garden has been battling the heat, bugs, and diseases for a while now and it looking sad and spent. I’m excited to know I can plant some fresh things!
Brian, I love to watch your garden videos. I have a large backyard here in SoCal inland, and though I didn't do much gardening as a young person, I grew gorgeous tomatoes and strawberries. My dad, in his time, grew delicious boysenberries (so much better than blackberries, by the way). Now in my 90s and chugging along with a walker, gardening does not come easily. However, I encourage anyone with a growing spot to use it to the best of their ability. My nephew has a number of raised beds in his small yard. He brought me some beautiful tomatoes a few days ago. He or other family come over and water my little peach and avocado trees. Your videos are the very best I have seen. Besides, when you flash that wonderful smile, it lights up the world.
Oh Brian WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Someone else is coming on pretending to be you ? He only has a couple thousand subs so I knew it wasn't you. So Happy you're back.❤😊
@@NextLevelGardening I don't know I looked at his channel name and it said Next level and something else different. I will try to get it and let you know. I said Brian wouldn't change his channel name without telling us. But it's all your videos that are played on it. I'll stay in touch with yall now that you are finally back. I was worried about you all.
@@MichaelRei99 I hope that people who see these channels are reporting them for impersonation as well as sending Brian the channel URLs so he can do what he needs to do to copyright claim his content. Anyone can report videos and channels. It is best to do it from a web browser so that the URL to the channel being impersonated can be included in the notes of the report.
I got my garden in late this year, my cucumbers just started flowering, but I'm also gonna plant again soon for, hopefully, a fall garden. And I had some extra space this year so I planted my corn in a spiral, just for fun.
I've been growing my squash vertically on stakes for about 4 years and trimming leaves as they grow. I'll never go back to letting them sprawl because it's easier to control pests and disease when I grow them vertically. You're spot on about the bees...they're more likely to find the flowers if the extraneous leaves are removed.
So glad you’re a fried okra fan! I grew up in Rome, GA. But when I moved to Maine for three years, they’d never heard of it nor knew how to fix it! Great reason to move back South, haha!
I'm from Toronto, Canada, and have loved Okra since I was little .we have no relatives or friends from the south. My dad and I have always enjoyed food from many other countries, and one of my favorites is gumbo.
I'm cooking okra as we speak (or type.) A South GA favorite, but I don't care for it boiled. I will either bread and deep fry it, or cook it low and slow in a cast iron skillet til soft and dark brown ... don't salt until it's done though!
I was terrified of trying okra for YEARS. I have sensory processing disorder, which means that certain textures and sensations overwhelm me and I freak out (internally, now that I'm an adult. lol). Because okra is known for its sliminess, I just knew that if I tried it, I'd probably start gagging. And then my friend made fried okra one day, from her garden. AND IT WAS AMAZING. No slime, of course, but those seeds popping out into my mouth were SO satisfying. 🤣I've since tried it in a couple other dishes and also liked it, so this year I'm attempting to grow some for myself. All hail the okra! lol
I love the timing of this video Brian! I have made a list of what I am starting tonight and here is my list for Summer/fall, some of these are my second sowing: Okra, Cucumbers, Basil, pumpkins, eggplant, tomatoes, dill, watermelon, black eye peas, celery, banana peppers, bell peppers, butternut squash, cantaloupe, zucchini & yellow squash. Happy Growing!! 💚
Try blistering okra halved lengthwise in the skillet or roasted in a hot oven. It’s delicious! I’m from SE Texas and it’s our favorite way to eat it. You can also dip it in garlic aioli, tzatziki sauce, or hummus. Delicious!
Okra is sooooo good. My grandparents were born in Oklahoma and she taught me how to cook fried okra in bacon grease and coated in flour and cornmeal. Oh, so good!
I would be planting if tomatoes would take off from right now. Unfortunately tomatoes are gonna be my intro, so I'm just building my compost pile and gathering info for now.
It’s going to be *118 here in Phx. I don’t think I’m going to get “ANYTHING” to grow. My established fruit trees are suffering horribly even after “tucking them in” with white sheet covers😅😅😅. I plan to start planting at the end of August.
glad to see you i was worrying can you post on your community page when schedule is changing or you just need time off so we dont go down the mental rabbit hole lol
You could have added radishes and carrots plus cauliflower and broccoli.Also there are okra varities that dont get woody untill 6 to 8 inches and one is a green variety and there is a couple of purple ones. Unfortunately I don't remember the names of them. Maybe someone watching your videos will know. Otherwise you had alot of vegetables that I didn' know of, good show.
Thank you very much for your videos. As a natural black thumb I need all the help I can get and have learned a great deal from your videos. They are concise yet full of information I haven't heard anywhere else. Well done and I look forward to more.
Very clear and informative . Could you add the zones when listing the plants such as “In July ….. vegetable could be planted in zone … and grow well. Thank you
Thanks Brian! We are SO glad we found your channel. We have been watching it since a few years back. It was either 2019 or 2020. We then watched the ones we missed before that time. You give GREAT advice and communicate it well! We grow vertically and use companion planting on our 4 raised beds. Our HOA tried to pass a regulation limiting gardens to 10x8 and that no plant can be in excess of 3 feet. We fought back wearing and sharing our Garden Defiantly shirts from y'all. The HOA board rescinded the decision based on the numerous residents joining our cause.
Good for you all!! I’m in a similar situation trying to get a community garden started with my neighbors before any more rules are introduced limiting our use of outdoor space to just. ornamental plants.
Pet bedding!!! What an ingenious idea! I love that! I keep doin mulch all these years and doesn't really help at all! One guy even said 3-4 inches so i did....nothin. Still dried out. I hope the pet bedding works better for me. Thanks so much!..... M
I LOVE Cosmos. as well...Birds love them too! If the birds let me, I'll harvest the seeds to use next year. An absolute fav and so glad they're not invasive!
I grow those cosmos and the starburst taller ones as well. I’ve been growing them for like 20 years and they do self seed and I save seed I give him out to friends and family and envelopes.🐝🌸
I’ve had no luck with sprouting beans in May but last week I decided to try again and it sprouted fast and has been looking great so far. I guess it likes Florida’s summer 😂
You are spot on about sweet corn planting No later in the Midwest ,no later then the first week in July to harvest before the first Frost !! Per commercial growers sweet corn producers !!
Super info! Had to chuckle over the okra admonitions! Here in upstate SC, we can all say--oh, yeah, for 2ce a day harvest! Love it in winter soups! I just cut them up in freezer bags, & stick them in the freezer-- that's it.
Brian, i can't get rid of black bottom on my tomatoes...2wk spraying aspirin as you suggested..2wk feeding tmoato food..regular daily a.m. watering...what to do now? Should i pull infected plants up? NE TN
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. 2 Peter 3:18 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 KJV For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9 KJV
HELP, HELP, HELP. PLEASE! I really need some advice. I have yellow squash plants that are just not reproducing. This is my first year and I know I've made some mistakes. Now unless the browning of the bottom of the plant is the reason. They don't seem to be diseased. They are growing big beautiful leaves and males. Just not females at all. I am putting down a second sow (without the huge leggy mistake) but I need to know if I can just sow the new ones right where I pull up the old ones? Also, is it common to get just no females?
Summer squash Beans (continuously harvest) Cucumber 🥒 6 to 8 hours of sunlight Okra (yuck, sorry) Basil (plant near tomatoes every year) Oregano (I've heard it is cancer fighting) Swiss chard Sweet corn early V And marjoram (I'd also.add radishes, lettuce, and quick growing carrots)
I read recently that the honeybee population is actually at its biggest ever. The reason being that commercial beekeepers (like those in Wyoming) have discovered a huge market in shipping their hives to places like California in the winter to pollinate the almond orchards and such. In the fall, you will often see the hives out on the highway under netting and stacked 10-high on flatbed trucks. Even more important has been the rise of beekeeping hobbyists (like my brother in North Carolina) who keep a few hives in their backyards. You can buy a wide variety of honeybees for almost every climate. (He's been encouraging me to buy some Russian bees.) Scientists have also developed mite-resistant bees and have discovered that "colony collapse" is something that just happens from time to time and doesn't affect the overall survival of honeybees. So, bees anyone?
You rock. I've been so late to get my warm season crops in. Still hadn't gotten in my cucurbits or beans. But now I know I can plant some of those now (though I'm sad my melons and winter squash are not going to be a good choice). Still! My beans and cukes can go in. And I can do more basil. Maybe I'll even try okra. And I would not have thought to put in another crop of chard. May try cosmos for fun as well.
Bees certainly are declining. Not honeybees which the media seems focused on. Honeybees are a farmed commodity and bee farmers have taken care of replacing their queens more often…and increasing the population. Honeybees are dying at an increased rate…but they are also being bred to boost their populations. Pollinator bees like Bumblebee populations have declined by 90 percent in the past 20 years. Pesticides, urban development and climate change are all factors. It’s just a fact and not debatable. Planting native pollinator friendly perennials could be a small thing the individual can do. And then leaving their nest the freak alone when you find one! Just leave it. They won’t bother you if you don’t bother them. They are not yellowjackets/hornets. They like to live in the ground in mulch.
Love your posts. I have successfully grown some fabulous tomatoes. Question: What do I do or what insecticide to I use to keep bugs from eating my strawberries and its leaves? Please leave me some ideas. Thank you.
My issue with corn is moment I planted it here in Houston it grew well and then gave me black moldy-looking corn. I never knew it could do this and really turned my girl and me off from corn for a while. I'm nervous to try again since it is so humid here.
A well-known RU-vidr recently said that you should not cut off the leaves because you can spread disease. Is this true? I would prefer to cut off the bad leaves. I have a few plants that I experimented with and didn't cut off the bad leaves. It doesn't seem to make a difference whether they are cut off or not. I still get diseases.
have you any success on spraying whey water mixture on squashes to avoid powdery mildew saw a tictoc what are your thoughts? I live in the hollar of WV and usually have dew in am
