I have some little butternut squash plants that i had in a paper towel like 4 wks ago...now they are little plants that I havent transplanted yet from their little pots...I live in zone 8b...I hope I can pull it off. Do you have any kind of tips of where or how I should plant these 3 little fellas? Theyre so cute. I live in a damn condo with no south facing wall.
You inspired me to grow my very own food forest 2 in fact one is in my back garden I have been grown for just about 6 years almost everything is in containers as I want to move and have my own piece of land to put that directly into the ground because where I stay the people around don't appreciate or like plants unfortunately and it is doing not too bad also very close to me as an unused piece of land myself and my son have been planting seeds in it for 3 years now lots of apple seeds cherry seeds plum seeds and some other seeds I wonder if it will actually grow into a natural fit Forest what do you think do you know anyone who has tried it in the past to just get an unused piece of land and put as many fruit seeds to see what happens please excuse any spelling mistakes as registered blind and use speech to a text one of the other reasons I am trying to grow my own food because of all the chemicals put on the fruit look at the gates Foundation with renew phone call appeal lead arsenic and only mostly bad stuff on it makes it more difficult to eat store bought food as it is laced with chemicals and toxic stuff growing your own as good and I hope my natural food forest in a few years actually starts growing some apples and fruit naturally
James, I’m a bit of a late bloomer-only started gardening three years ago. Today, I noticed some store-bought mushrooms that were past their prime, and as I gathered ingredients for my salad, I realized I was out of garlic and onion. I checked my garden and pulled an incredible garlic bulb and my first Walla Walla onion! It hit me then-nothing beats the joy of growing your own food. Thank you for all the inspirational videos you share. You've kept me going even when I felt like giving up. And by the way, if Tuck ever gets to be too much, he’s welcome to come live with me! 😊
This is my 8th year gardening, and I’ve never did a fall crop before. This video inspired me to go buy some lettuce, spinach, kale, and pea seeds for my garden!
My cavoodle absolutely loves you and tuck. No matter what he’s doing if he hears your voice he comes and sits next to me and fully concentrates on the tv screen. Then when he sees Tuck he does these super cute chuffs to say hello. Thanks for all the awesome content!
Hello, I am so, so happy to find your channel. Thanks to your advice I saved all of my yellow squash. They were eater by borer until I performed surgery on each one. Some people thought I lost my mind and could not believe what I did, but I don't care now I have abundance of squash I can share with others. Thank you so much, your new subscriber from NJ. ❤❤❤❤ to Tucker.
I have a smaller back yard but planning to begin a vegetable garden I live in Jersey so I am going to be soaking up all the information this man is giving.
New subscriber! Came here from David the Good's channel. Really enjoyed your 'Starting a New Food Forest' playlist. Always glad to meet new people making the world a better place by turning their lawns into food forests.
I just bought some 'parsley peas', You don't wait for the pods and they are ready to harvest in 30 days! Just planted more rat tail radishes too. Up in 3 days! I need things that make me feel like a competent gardner. lol
5A for me, but I put carrots in last week, going to do radish and beets tomorrow from a bed I just cleaned out. Mammoth melting are my favorite pea, they produce forever.
my husband and I love your videos. you are such a "happy" and excited gardener. Watching your enthusiasm and joy of gardening brings smiles to my heart and my face! We have been gardening for 50 yrs or so and we are still learning new things. You are a great encourager and teacher. Give Tuck a carrot for us. ;)
Thanks James! I like the way you explain, fast energy but cakm, and with joy ! Nice veggie garden. 👌🥒🥬🍏🥕Could you write the veggies seed names in your description, please. A few are not easy to understand. The one beginning with an m...? Not all is in the transcription. Thx.
❤ I started watching - paused to reset kitchen garden with parsley, carrots, peas, beans and basil seeds - back now on a rainy day looking forward to planting more in my other gardens 😊on Friday (my next day off). Inspiring video!
You are definitely a master at growing your own food . Great garden construction, beautiful crops, and healthy eating. Love that master Tuck ❤ GOAT dog 17:18
I guess if money wasn’t an issue …. I would have a small room next to my kitchen that is a breakfast nook but also a green room. In the winter I can turn on the green room, have fresh food, AND warm up the house. Right next to the garage. So I can start plants inside and also have a “work shop”. . Love this content. ❤❤
Thank you for sharing your gardening knowledge, James. I have shared about The Gardening Channel with several friends. We have several 5 gallon food safe buckets planted with July crops. And now to plant a few more for August. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ for Tuck. 😊
Wow, I cannot even Imagine how many times you failed before you developed your successful scientific method of growing your plants! Thank you for sharing all the information!
❤❤❤ Thank you for the can still plant. Our frost doesn’t start until November, so I’ll be starting some of these things this weekend. I love seeing Tuck!
James, I watched a program on PBS on gardening I believe it was called Garden Fit, it showed us to place one knee to the ground and the other leg slightly bent but not to the ground for better posture and easier on the knees. I tried this and it really helped my back and knees when pulling weeds or picking produce.
@@joshua511 like you do small chard leaves. If the stems are large, I cut the stems away from the leaves and drop them into boiling for just a min or 2. They are interchangeable with spinach or chard recipes.
Howdy from🇨🇦🥶This was my first vid of yours....and how awesome the info! I like the quik way you describe it all...I have a fast brain on fire and it just wants info!! I think your my new fave gardener!! I got time for peas! Our temp has gone to 9° above 0. Its august! I fried my peas cuz its also 33° celsius. 😂im having a ball. Its a new home. I need alllllll this info!! Cute dog!! Have an awesome day!! 😊
So awesome to hear you mention mizuna... I have my aerogarden full up on mizuna right now and have 2 transplants from it already outside hardening. I'm in north jerz and it's been record-breaking hot where I am this year, thankfully we've been getting some rain finally. For those that don't know, good mizuna is the perfect green to go with your prized tomatoes on a BLT. After that it's just raising your own bacon and chickens for mayo... then growing some wheat for the bread flour, then you're a self-sustaining BLT farm!
Another great video James; I'm going with this. Thanks for the info on soaking the beets and the peas. Love and kisses to you and the boss - take care.
Amazing! I am limited by my community garden parameters, we need to have everything down by the end of October. But it looks like there are a few things I can still plant!
Thanks. I would be foolish to not plant these in October and November here, although I could take a chance with the peas in late September. Phoenix area, Zone 9B. I plan to plant all of these items by November. Last winter, my carrots did amazingly. Hello to Tuck!
Central California, also 9B. Still too hot for us too. Do you even get a frost? Some years we don't, or only 1 or 2 nights. The charts say November but usually not before December 19th. But it is nice to be outside on Christmas day in shorts and sandals. 😊
For gardeners who feel as enthusiastic and energetic as James, it's worth talking about the NPK. High N is for fast leafy growth, so you can move the seedlings into their forever home as soon as possible, and will be great for lettuce, swiss chard, kale, etc. High P aids in root development and flower budding, so, if your radish or beet has a lot of greens but not much of a bulb, there's not enough phosphorus in your soil (think fish - actually any animal eyes). High K ensures your your flower buds will actually flower and, if pollinated will ripen on time - in case you plant peas (that are not for shoots), or beans or cucumbers, or other fruiting plants. And by "high" I mean high-ER, but not as high as to burn your plants. :)
Absolutely love beets planted some about 3 weeks ago and planted another row today, also planted swiss chard 3 weeks ago also. My cucumbers and zucchini did horrible this year, my tomatoes are so loaded they are pulling my tomato cages over so have to keep finding poles to hold them up. Also planted green beans germinated laid on a wet paper towel 2 weeks ago they are up a good 3 inches already.
Love learning from you, James. Seems you're perfectly on target for my zone 7a, Washington state. I use your board method for carrots, great germination this past week. Lettuce is up, used same principle but with VERY thin layer of dry grass clipping on north exterior or green house. Up today--winning! So many good things happening in the garden, this time of year. Looking forward to a second round starting NOW! Thanks to you and The Boss. ❤❤❤❤
If one grows (in raised beds or flatlander gardening) a raised row (barrow) method, then establish the W -E axis laid barrow, and plant the sun-loving (warm) crops with short height on the south side. The taller (and colder crops) with taller heights plant on the north side, as their height above the barrow won't harm them when they are small and growing past the barrow height. Their stronger, younger growth height further supports the higher plant stalk and vine at higher elevation. If you have an east-end vegetable (early morning sun, minimal afternoon and evening sun and heat) or west-end vegetable (late afternoon sun, and higher sun and heat) you can maximize those ends for growing opportunities as well. If you barrow a raised garden with the N-S axis, then use the east-end and west-end concept as the east-side will be those early morning growing crops, while the west-side will be the late afternoon growing crops. With the barrow method you have more growing surface with both sides and top of the barrow (and the barrow ends) to plant on, versus everybody at the same level. The barrow method is a garden food forest canopy concept in small size.
I love your channel, and I love your energy, and hi Tuck so cute. You know if it was not for this video and you, I would of forgotten all about this part lol..... ive been very busy and i am still waiting on my arbors to arrive for my Pumpkins and Loofah this things are growing fast and I still have corn and peas to look after LOL..NE Ohio
I am growing my brassica in my garage in the air conditioner, and they are sprouting very good, because here in georgia, Atlanta it's to hot to plant brassica now outside.
I’ve had success with sprouting seeds by direct sowing, then place an old white T-shirt on top, then water. They will get light and the material holds in the moisture. Once sprouted remove material and throw in the wash. I’m sure a yard of Tshirt material would last a long time.
Very helpful. Im in the ozarks and not much of what we planted two weeks ago is coming up. It was just too hot. Thanks for living in the same zone 😅. The compist we layed out for the seeds is growing outstandingly well, tho. Im so excited for whatever jt is. Watermelong? Cantaloupe? Cucumbers?? 😂❤ It'll be delicious, i can tell that. Better than lettuce for sure.
