The most important thing I try to put in every year is pumpkins. I plant them in odd corners of my garden and let them ramble over everything. They're incredibly easy to grow, just glop some pith and seeds down with some compost and check it every so often. 6 months later there's pumpkins. It's one vegetable that no matter how busy or exhausted I am I can find the time and energy to start them off and they keep doing their thing with very little input, and though I do like to get out there with a paintbrush and give them a little help it's not really necessary. Harvest in time for pumpkin soup, roasted pumpkin, pumpkin muffins, oh my.

@wiewioraa8 Год назад

So true. Once we composted by accident some pumpkin leftovers with seeds and they grew on compost.

I grew up old school with a mother who gardened every year. NONE of us were obese, I was a size 7 when I was 18. It all went downhill after college and going to buffets...but man, I want to go back to the organic Gardening.

Great stuff once again! Agree that potatoes pretty much grow on their own. The only other few vegetables I'd include would be zucchini/summer squash & garlic. Honorable mention to bok/pak choi (part of cabbage family) and spinach. I suppose it really depends on your climate, sun/shade situation, etc. But tomatoes, zucchini/summer squash, beans (green), peas & garlic are probably my top picks. Love your channel and info!

Mike I've been watching your channel on and off whenever you roll into my feed. I was at first primarily interested in Ginger, but your passion for gardening ignited my passion for Gardening. You've earned my subscription. This will be my first adult gardening since decades ago when I was a young girl watching my mother garden. We grew up eating healthy organic vegetables every year for at least 2 decades before everybody grew up and moved away to the big cities. So this year, after surviving a 3 year fight with Cancer, I am going to take up gardening. I may have to go back and watch your videos from days gone by...but I enjoy all of your new content too. Please show more videos of how your family cooks or stores the goodies from your garden. I found your last video of the potato stew very sophisticated. I don't think the average gardener could have pulled off your one pot delicious meal. I myself would have boiled or baked the potatoes put some herbs and butter and done. But you took it to the next level with all your herbs, spices and turned it into a 4 hour stew. WOW. I was impressed.

Totally agree, but have learned cilantro best in spring & fall, basil my favorite best in summer, call it water gage plant when leaves at sides know to water it & all my others, oregano & sage best in shaded areas, & every year my dill gets eaten up by catapillars. Years of trial & error. He lives in a tropical climate & probably has better luck then most of us when it comes to gardening. Every year I'm getting better with the help of people like him.

@letsdiscoverwine 3 года назад

My garden philosophy is to grow things that are better (or much, cheaper) than you can buy. I don't grow your #10 lettuce because I don't like soft young leaves. I prefer iceberg (better quality and inexpensive in groceries). I don't grow carrots. Homegrown are generally not as good as store-bought. I notice that you grow the short cultivars because larger ones are much harder to grow. You don't get much to eat on the short ones. I don't grow cabbage. Store-bought is as good or better, and it is a magnet for bugs in the garden. But I love growing its relative: kohlrabi, which is usually old and dry in stores, if you can find it. Beets and turnips are a necessity in my garden, but here in Ohio, you have to build a wire frame over beets, or the deer get every bite. I love the roots, but the cooked greens are even better. I only grow large field onions to plait them for my kitchen wall. Store-bought onions are as good. But scallions, shallots, and esp. leeks are better home-grown. Most home-grown cukes (like Marketmore) taste similar to those in a store. I only grow Straight Eight because of the fabulous taste. As an older variety, it must be sprayed for bugs, or the bugs bring fungus that kills the plant early. Little Marvel Peas are #1 in my spring garden. Here in America, either you can't find what we call "English Peas" (shelling peas) in a store, or they are dried up. Snap peas and snow peas are not nearly as good. Beans are a necessity, esp. ones that are hard to find in stores: haricots verts, Chinese long beans, dried beans for cassoulet, caviar lentils. Over half of my summer garden is tomatoes: the new heritage hybrids (Brandy Boy, Genuwine), the great reliable classics (Big Boy, Early Girl), the best cherries (Sun Gold, Sun Sugar), and a wonderful French Import (Jaune Flamme'). The only potato that I grow is yummy Kennebec because I can't get it in a store. You left out some necessities: I grow Golden Bantam corn because stores only carry those sickeningly sweet newer bicolor cultivars. Next to tomatoes, the main crop in my summer garden is eggplant: Black Beauty and Rosa Bianca. There are home-grown peppers that beat everything in any store: Marconi and genuine Hatch (NuMex 6-4).

I could pumpkin all day. How did I forget to add that to my list? Garlic sadly remains one of those things that I have invested so much time and money into growing... and never got a single bulb. Wrong climate, buggerit.

Bahaha! My husband ate lots carrots when we started eating 80-10-10. His skin turned slightly orange and as we were driving down the toad he thought he went blind. He pulled over and said we waited too long to change our diets and started to cry. He had some old glasses that weren’t very strong and tried them to see if he could see. And it was unbelievable, but he went back 3 prescriptions. We don’t know if it was the entire diet of all raw fruit n vegys or if it was the carrots 🥕 but we were thankful. We also had so much more energy.

I really love your entertaining videos! (Btw: Cabbage in German is Kohl. Sauerkraut is fermented Kohl in small stripes.) I would hope that you are right when you say that you can grow these veggies in every climate. :) I live in the tropics near the ocean since over a year and started permaculture and I really try to grow onions and potatoes, but I am nearly giving up. Onions not even sprout. They are the worst experience at all! Green onions sprout but stay as a weak kind of gras since 3 month now 😆. Potatoes start sprouting and growing a bit and than always die without a visable reason. (sweet potatoes are growing like crazy). With the beets I also had no real success so far. There comes a weak plant that not really is building up a bulb. For the carrots I am praying. Its my second try and they sprouted and are growing "shy" as the beets. My cucumbers last year came up very easy and good, but all the fruits were bitter and ended at the compost 😏. What grows good so far are sweet potatoes, maniok tomatoes and peppers, but they like the dry season much more than the rainy season. Also different kinds of beans and herbs are easy. If you know a good yt channel regarding the tropics, I would be thankfull to get the information. regards, Ani

Definitely squash, zucchini, yellow, butternut, spaghetti, and pumpkins and gourds to decorate the house in the fall. All are easy to grow but I do fight with the powdery mildew sometimes. I use cages for the butternut, and the spaghetti squash will hang and taken up less room. These last two last for a long time like the potatoes.

I fully agree on the peppers. So many varieties so there's something to suit anyone's tastes. I'd also make it a top 12 and would just lump herbs into a single category. They are so easy to grow and provide so much flavor to everything else you eat that they are a must for both anyone with a garden, and for those without the space for a garden such as those living in city apartments or high rises they can be very easily grown in a window planter.
