@@sunflower6372es. If the person sounds like they know what they’re talking about, and we’re talking about gardening here-not national security-I’m quite able to discern someone’s “trustworthiness” pretty quickly. I don’t need a 10-minute preamble telling me they’re a master gardener with advanced degrees in horticulture and soil science to make me feel better about planting beans. 🤷🏻. I guess if you’re a person who has never touched a seed or put your hands in the dirt or has never seen someone pick a tomato, THEN I think you’d be better-off knowing that the presenter is truly an “expert?” (Didn’t mean to sound harsh but to start your statement off with “You’re TOTALLY WRONG” was a little harsh, in my opinion.)❤️👍🏼🫡
Agree 100%. This woman was succinct, easy to understand, and clearly knows what she’s talking about. I don’t need a 10-minute preamble listing her many advanced degrees in horticulture and soil sciences to decide she can be “trusted.” We’re talking about gardening-not geopolitical strategy. 👍🏼🫡
@@sunflower6372 Not quite "totally" wrong, but i know where you're coming from with that. This lady is refreshing in that she isn't just going on and on about anything else and is being direct and to the point, while still being personable and charismatic. Unlike many of the Ytube "garden gurus" that spend the first 5 minutes of a 20 minute video going on about anything but the subject matter. I get why the other person is saying that, and this vid was enjoyable AND infomative. I think I'll subscribe.
great advice - I've Double cropped beans, peas, squash, okra - with a July planting... beans, peas as late as mid August. Been successful for years zone 6 Ohio.
I Love this video! I learned so much in just a few minuts without getting bored or agitatated with a lot of unnessessry talk .she caught my interest and was easy to listen to. How refreshing!
Hi. Thanks for the tips about cukes and cord. Im just south of atlanta this is worth the effort. I also want to thank you for including your location and growing zone. Not enough RU-vid channel Growers do this and it's frustrating.
What worries me is how many people do not grow a garden any longer. I have lived in an apartment for the last 7 years, I have tried everything I know to get out of here, and back into my own house so I can have a garden. Looks like I will never be able to do that. It breaks my heart, at how high prices are now.
Dont give up hope Sara! We don't know what tomorrow will bring . ❤ I live in an apartment and been wanting to find the right place to move so I can have a big garden. I do grow things in grow pots but it's just not what I want in a garden. My heart goes out to you because even though I don't know ye circumstances , I hate for you to give up on something that's obviously important to you. Please don't give up. ❤ 9:13
@@debbieparker3691 I am trying to not give up, but my health is taking it's toll at all of this worrying over it. Everytime I hear someone talk about their garden, I break down. I made the biggest mistake moving here. ((((HUGS))) Not seeking pity, I just hope others read this before ever moving to an apartment. Because like me, they may not be able to find anything until it is too late. For me, it is a financial problem now.
@@saraw5942Don’t fret. You can grow in an apartment too and year round! Get a good grow lamp and have at it. You’ll be somewhat limited on what you can grow, but you can still get some of the same satisfaction and peace from the process. Hang in there and do whatever you have to, in order to find the freedom you need. Humans were never intended to live in such ways, so if you can’t get out any time soon, I’d recommend doing whatever you can to spend more time away from the apartment and out in nature. It’s healing in itself.
Sara reach out in your local community. I'll bet there is someone who has plenty of room and land but no idea how to start or maintain a garden, and who would enjoy the benefits avd company of someone with your expertise and enthusiasm.for it. A house requires a lot of work for just one or even a couple of people. If you're having financial and of health issues it may be a very viable solution to your situation. Not to sound too crazy, but in the very near future our ability to feed ourselves and our families could well be life or death questions very soon, dark days of food shortages etc..are coming, as many people are becoming aware. People should be teaming up anyway, one person alone will be hard pressed to survive alone once the economy, banks, supply chain crashes. Rolling blackouts are a certainty as well ...I would try something like that rather than any apartment. Maybe you'll make a new like minded friend or several as well in the process! Good luck and God bless you!
@saraw5942 Have you tried checking in your area for a community garden? Hang in there and don’t give up. We were stuck in an apartment for 8 years and thought there was no way out. Until you can get a place with a garden, try container gardening. There’s some cool containers that stack on top of each other so you can grow things vertically. I found mine at the Dollar Tree. I’m sure you will find great joy and learning in an apartment garden as well as benefiting from whatever you plant. Sending love and prayers to you Sara! 🥰🙏🏼
Thank you for making this video. I was just wondering some of these things of what I could plant and the month of July. God bless you and your family. Duane.
If you live in zone 9 forget about planting anything else until September. My tomatoes are burned up from temperatures above 100 for weeks with no rain .
You can plant year around,we are here in south Texas but heat,cold or whatever you can start inside with some and by using hay,mulch you can plant all year around here
Evening JIll I presume your are in Blighty as I am in Portugal and you don't plant anything here n July or August or it will die in the hot sun you need to wait while Sep, then start planting for winter harvest. As I have learned to my cost since arriving you plant first crop 6 weeks before Blighty and a second crop in Sep so can harvest Christmas on.
I am in Bangor Maine area, zone 4.a to 5. I planted potatoes in containers. The Pontiac Red have flowered, and should be ready to dig in a couple weeks or so. The other varieties should be ready later in the season, Yukon Gold, Red Norland and Kennebec. Northern varieties, may not work in the south.
I just harvested my potatoes yesterday (video coming in a few weeks on that). The Yukon Gold and Red Norland did well. Red Pontiac was average but Kennebec not so good; it never does as well here. I'll be trying Yukon Gold again for fall and I'll be curious to see how it does in cooler temps.
I've got 21 feet of open raised bed and can't make up my mind on what to put out next. I started bush beans 2 days ago, don't like squash, zucchini, or black-eyed peas. I'm about to take a weed eater to my cucumbers. I'm having trouble getting rid of them. I've got okra, potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers out already. Corn I can get for free from a family farm. Guess I can do some more carrots, and later radishes and turnips. Maybe some lettuce too.
Thank you for the great info... I'm going to plant more zucchini today!!....😔😔😔I had success .... but I didn't give my zucchini enough space to be zucchini ...if that makes sense lol
Hi Jill, I noticed you had one of your raised beds covered with some white transparent looking Row covering.. what exactly is it? Thanks for another great video!!!❤️
I live in Texas and I finally have a way of planting but I don't know what I can plant here in this state can you tell me that would be great thank you love your videos
looking at your podcast (on iphone) and you reference #251 but then the shows AREN'T labeled with episode numbers! which also makes navigation hard. : /
Thanks for this video! Question- my peppers are so slow and it has to do with pest damage. What diy or natural solution has worked for you? I haven’t pruned them any either. Do you find that pruning helps speed up leaf/flowering? Thanks!
For a fall planting, I'm trying two different things. One, I ordered seed potatoes from Wood Prairie Family Farm in late June (they don't ship in July). When the potatoes arrived, they had already broken dormancy so they are about ready. I'm also going to put some of my spring harvest in the refrigerator for a month before bringing them into warmth to sprout them. I've never done either for a fall planting, so it's all an experiment at this point. My podcast episodes with Jim at Wood Prairie Family Farm back in early 2022 (the Beginner's Garden Podcast) gives much more detail to this.
I'm self-taught. I read a lot of books when I began (podcasts and youtube videos were more scarce). Hearing from other gardeners helped lay a foundation, but actually doing it taught me the most. I'd recommend listening to a lot of different gardeners to get different perspectives, but really pay attention to the ones who garden in a climate similar to yours. Not only zone (because growing conditions can vary widely even with the same zone). Instead, perhaps even more important, look for gardeners with similar last and first frost dates since that dictates your growing season more than a zone does.
When you live next to a chemical farmer and he destroys your garden and contaminate your soil for the next four months, you’re not going to be planting anything in July. Stop by and see what’s really happening with the people that grow your food
One of the other viewers said you have awesome content. I have to absolutely agree. Some people come to youtube for information and instruction; others come to be entertained. This is my first video of yours to see. Hopefully they are all aligned to the 'want to learn' population because that is me. Looking forward to seeing more and learning more. Thanks for your time and experience. Jesus bless.
For gardening information I’m 70 now and have had the best cherry tomatoes two bushes, and hundreds of tomatoes in grow bags and three of potatoes, thank for any information you can give,
You can store potatoes in the ground right up until the ground freezes. I’m in Zone 6A in New England and we had a mild winter. I was digging up beautiful potatoes in January. They then wintered over wonderfully in my cool dark dry basement.
I’m in Texas 110 to 112 heat index for a couple of weeks now.. my home garden is struggling. Tomato plant trying to stay alive not producing.. had gotten about 10 tomatoes before the heat hit. Any recommendations for my crops will help😢
My poor bush beans are crispy and frying in the sun before ever flowering or producing anything. Sad. If I pull them into partial shade though they’re doing better and putting on new leaves. I live in east Texas and we’ve had 100+ degree heat for a few weeks now so honestly I’m not too surprised they’re suffering. It’s just disappointing. I planted out all of my dragons tongue seeds so instead of taking the chance of no production at all I grabbed out a few plants and put them in pots under my deck so they’re shaded during the hottest times of the day. I may do that with another variety I am trying as well to see if I can get them to recover and still grow. I have only had success with purple hull peas and I had to replant my pole beans because my others died earlier this month. They got infested with spider mites I think due to heat stress. I replanted rattlesnake beans a few weeks ago and while they’re growing slowly they’re healthy and starting to vine up their poles. Those areas are also in shade during the peak hours of sun too so I’m hoping they’ll survive and thrive. I was able to grow Kentucky wonder pole beans last fall in that same spot all the way until mid December when we had hard freezes down to 16f. Then they definitely died (and I was not surprised). I hope for a similar harvest this fall.
Some varieties of bush beans tolerate cold temps better such as Provider and Royal Burgundy, these do better in the fall with cool nights; I'm having good luck with Bronco bush beans in the summer heat. The same is true of corn and cucumbers, soil temp matters not to plant too early. My local stores have loads of chili peppers left over
We've had some great luck with carrots in the late summer/fall. You can also keep them in the ground up until the first hard freeze, or longer if you cover them real good with some leaves or something.
Just started following your podcast after watching this. I am 40 and just planted my first garden. It is only 4500sq feet and I have had a few issues but I am learning and getting a crop in already. I planted way too much but the garden has yet to keep up enough for my wife and I to be able to preserve anything. We will prevail...or get full first.
Squash good this time of year, that moth that gives you vine borers have laid their eggs, hatched larvae that has eaten other people squash vines and you're home free.
like size ! zone matters and when frost to frost is 100 days or less. and July is the Hottest time of the grow period. Planting in July should either be weeds or stones. cause anything else will still be grass when the snow comes.
