Welcome to Auxhart Gardening! I’m Rachel, a small-scale southern gardener growing near Clemson, SC, zone 8a. I mainly garden in-ground, with containers as secondary production spaces.
Knowing where your food comes from is powerful, and empowering, and I believe we can change the world through gardening education.
The agricultural system is broken; we’ve monocultured nearly every major crop, forcing the use of chemical pesticides and inorganic fertilizers to maintain large-scale food production. I believe there’s a better way.
By teaching people to rely on themselves, even just a little, for their food supply, we might be able to create some breathing room for our strained food system, allowing for change to start happening.
By educating people about where food comes from and how to grow it, we can raise awareness about our broken agricultural system and form a community that understands how to fix it.
By forming a community, we can move toward creating real change in the world.
My goal is to educate; yes you can grow food, yes you can do it without chemicals, yes you can do it in your backyard or on your windowsill. And yes, that can make a difference in the world.

Fab tour of your garden. Shame about the peas. Over the past couple of years I've found that sowing peas in guttering in the greenhouse to start the germination and then transplanting when they get about 9 inch tall works best for me especially to protect the early shoots from the critters. Great idea with the carrot heads!! Keep up the great work.

We have a short fall where I live, and for my broccoli I plant them inside 1 month before transplanting outside. I use solo cups so they have good room for the roots, and put Jobes organic chicken fertilizer in the bottom of the hole when transplanting.

17:30 try presoaking the peas overnight before seeding in ground, that should help.

The Thing Thumb variety of peas is so delicious!

The drought is totally an issue here, too. Our water bill was so scary this month. Part of the high bill was also trying to keep my chickens from dying in the heat. It is a real struggle to keep things going without rain. I bought bush bean seeds and they turned out to really be pole beans. They took over the whole raised bed and climbed up my 10 ft tall tomato plant. We have literally had to climb on a ladder to pick beans and tomatoes. It has driven me crazy, but that tomato plant has done so much better than the others with the heat. I am guessing it is because the pole beans have shaded my tomato plant. Could you imagine how horrible it was to have lived in the Dust Bowl? I guess comparatively, I shouldn't complain too much! I did not get my fill of eggplant this year :(

@AuxhartGardening 6 дней назад

Thats so tall! I agree with your theory about the pole bean shading the tomato. I'm sorry to hear about your eggplant. I'm glad I'm getting some but I definitely wish I was getting more. I think about the dust bowl a lot actually. I grew up in an area of Texas that was really heavily affected by it, so there were a lot of stories told. Have you seen Interstellar? I always imagine the dust bowl exactly like that. However, as for comparison, a struggle is a struggle, even if you feel like someone else had it worse, your struggle is valid.

Our tomatoes are pretty much done here as well. Trying to get peppers hopefully a bit bigger and ripe. These cool temps have been amazing but I feel ya on the rain. With all the rain we had this spring, I knew when it stopped it would slam down but I never expected it to last this long. When hurricane Debbie came up it brought much needed rain and we started to get rain again then it stopped again. We're supposed to get some from the outer bands/ remnants of this current hurricane this weekend.

@AuxhartGardening 6 дней назад

Yeah I've seen the forecast saying I'm supposed to get some rain from this hurricane too, but after getting nothing from Debbie I'm not sure I'll believe it until it's actually happening.

Carrot experiment suggestion: remove the half on one side, and then you can compare how the two different sides do!

I'm in the subtropics and the only time I've had a great brassica crop was when I started them in spring as a beginner gardener in 2020. I didn't know they're cool season plants but I transplanted them out in >30 °C weather and they grew and grew and grew and grew. The problem however is european chafer beetles. They are most active here just when everything starts growing. They are so so destructive. Ugh.

I am in Anderson so, I can totally relate about the dry conditions. I’ve been struggling with melon and cucumber worms as well as aphids here lately in the season. Any organic suggestions are appreciated. I had similar results with brassicas in my garden 😢. Hoping next year will be better. I started planning for winter planting. About what time of year did you plant your Brussels sprouts last year for the overwinter garden?

@lcfarmer9352 7 дней назад

Im surprised yours struggle at those temps down there. Up north I've found peppers to be fine down to mid/low 30s. They really pump out the fruit once it dips below 50 at night.

@AuxhartGardening 6 дней назад

That's so interesting. I've seen many people talk about putting peppers out in the spring, and how waiting until temps are above 50 at night improves their yields for the entire season. I also know peppers are native to much warmer areas, so I made the assumption that when temps get cooler they would struggle more. I definitely have peppers live all the way until the frost, and it feels like that coincides with when the fruit is finishing up from a timing perspective. On the other hand, peppers produce more with each flush, so it could be confirmation bias that the temperature is causing the last harvest to be larger. Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience and I'll keep an eye on my peppers with that in mind.
