We are settling into a property with a large acerage that has an established orchard (apples, peaches, plums, pears) and loads of blackberries, raspberries , and blueberries. I’m looking forward to an enormous garden but I have a lot of work to do. I want all the things. Chickens, a high tunnel, a green house….. but first I need to figure out how to keep all that other stuff alive. We are coming from the burbs. I did a full garden on my little half acre in suburbia but I didn’t have all the fruit trees and berries. We had an HOA and all the rules lol. My issue is pacing myself. I have bought waaaaaay too many seeds. I can’t help it. I’ve told family and friends not to buy any. I have it all! We also have Paw paw trees! I’m in Ohio too.

First congrats on your new place. Second resource as much as you can free wood chips manure building materials chicken coop small shelters. Happy hunting When you figure out where you want your garden think about where are you going to put your compost pile, your high tunnel things of that nature. Dream and dream big with a visual plan so you can add as you can afford it. Educate yourself quickly about pruning the fruit trees the time is growing short for that job and it's important to do and do correctly. Living on a farm is very rewarding challenging hard work and a beautiful life. Oh make sure you give yourself 3' pathways in between you rows or raised beds plants can do their own thing and get out of control. I am also in Ohio

congrats! we are starting our orchard from scratch (sans 2 old apple trees). We also have chickens. Buy the chicks now! get that coop and run up asap. you can keep the little ones indoors caged for a while. takes about 4 months to get eggs (depending on breed and time of year). ours just started laying 3 weeks ago. bought them at 6 weeks old back in late September.

@@anissaferringer4965 we just discussed that last Monday on Gardener Scott video. I have read several times that if the soil is amended organically and there was no sign of disease that it is not necessary to rotate crops. I think that rotation thing is coming from crop farmers with intensive planting. I wouldn’t worry about it for small scale. I actually did a lot of thinking about this on past gardens and what I grow. Most of my garden is in nightshade crops😂. I wouldn’t be able to rotate even if I wanted and I have 2 sizeable gardens 😊

I used the “garden planner” from territorial seed, it’s a free trial for 7 days, then a cost each year. I got the subscription as a Christmas gift this year, and found it really helpful, mostly because it has so much information to reference all in one place. I agree with the start date thing, it uses your zip code to calculate dates, but is ultimately ball park. It’s really visual chart that is endlessly adjustable. I will see how it goes. For me, garden planning is a huge project that I CANNOT do in one sitting, I started in September and was finally happy with it just after Christmas. I’m also a newer gardener, not green, but not experienced either. Companion planting, spacing, indoor seeding vs outdoor direct seed, etc was a lot of bit by bit gathering for me.

@dustyflats3832
@dustyflats3832 Год назад
The main thing is don’t stress it. After all, it’s enough work to get a harvest. If I was a new gardener and did what you did, I think I would have scrapped the whole thing 🤣. I use to worry or concentrate on companion planting and figured if I just throw in marigolds here and there along with anything else it all works. However, I do like to consider planting by the moon as it’s a lot easier and worth while.

Great suggestions! I just wanted to mention that you can copy/paste images into an Excel cell! I’m on a Mac, and I use the screen shot app. I open the picture I want to put into my spreadsheet, take a screenshot and save it to my Clipboard (one of the options in the app), then click on the cell I want it in and Paste. You can drag the corner to resize the cell, so you can see it as a large photo when you need to and then shrink it back down when you don’t!
@dustyflats3832
@dustyflats3832 Год назад
I use to ace Excel, but I don’t have MS Office and I thought there was a way to note in a cell a symbol to click that would show a chart/pic. If I did use a program I think that one thing right there is what I would do. You could insert pics of bugs, seed packets used and in inventory, plants. The pic of a seed packet alone is almost the whole entry right there. Hmmm, think I will have to find a way to get Excel on a Mac so I can use this great feature. Thanks!

I am absolutely loving the new Johnny's Selected Seeds catalog for 2023. Every category has vegies displayed by harvest size. This is so helpful to me as a new gardener, so I know exactly the size of the fruit I'll get and not spend the entire season on a plant that disappoints. They also include tips for growing, taking care of pests, harvest and storage. I really enjoy your videos and the inspiration you give. Thanks so much!

Lol, that reminds me of planting what I thought was a full size Waltham squash and it was an actual mini!😂. I had know idea there was such a thing in all my years of gardening 🤪. I kept thinking there was something wrong with the plant or soil😅. We harvested the plate size single servers and as we sat down to eat them I was looking closer at the seed packet because I just couldn’t get over this dinky squash. There it was, I think it was like a plate or something in the picture that it finally Dawned on me that it was suppose to be a mini!😂

All the tips were very good. For me, as a journalist, keeping a written account of your gardening life and adventures is key. A written history, as it were, to tell the story of your journey with nature, both the good and the not so good. To both inspire and teach those who will come. One day, a child or grandchild, will open up those pages and be able to walk through the garden with you even though you have long passed away. The written word is so necessary, and yet so dismissed these days. Carry on!

My husband just finished 20 years in the Navy and we're settling into a small farm in Eastern Tennessee. My rolling clay hills are a blank slate! We excavated an 8'x20' strip to set up three 32" raised planter beds. Put some hugelkultur to work. We also filled three Greenstalk planters on the patio. Waiting for fruits to arrive! Saved dish-paks to mulch around them.

Well Jenna, thank you again for the excellent video! Fantastic! What I do is this last year, and now this year, I take a notebook I write everything down that I want to plant. In the first column I write the date I want to start them in the house. The name, and where I bought the seeds in the next column, and then when I plant it I just check it off. And if I don't like the vegetable that I decided to grow, then I will not order it probably again. It makes a lot of sense to take some notes on it for me. If I had a much larger garden, then I would take more notes. Thank you again for all your gardening wisdom! Have a good evening!

It's always good when I see a video from you. I must admit that documenting things is a definite weak spot for me. The most that I have done recently was to keep track of when I started what and when I put them out into the garden. I've tried garden planners a few times in the past. They just don't do it for me. Those neat tomato plant icons might look nice and organized all in a row on the screen, but in real life they can go crazy and grow all over the place. I guess I am old school, I store the knowledge in my head and in my heart and garden mostly from experience. When I move to a new area, of course that throws everything off for a little while until I learn what my new area is like. I'm going to take your advice and put out as many of the perennial plants as I can this Spring. Anyway, as always you have done an excellent job of delivering great content in a pleasing way. What you are doing in your garden and with your organization is quite impressive.
@GrowfullywithJenna
@GrowfullywithJenna Год назад
Thank you! I think the actual mapping can be a big help for folks just starting out who are still getting a feel for spacing. I notice that much like I tweak dates I tweak plant spacing too, as compote what the apps advise. I do find the mapping really handy for making sure I’m rotating crops from year to year, planning successions, and to get a general idea how much I can plant.

@@GrowfullywithJenna Ah yes, I remember when I heard you say that, that what was planted where was the major reason for a garden map. Hmm good point. I suppose I shouldn't rely on my memory for long on that. lol WHICH brings up a question. With trellises I'm tempted to plant the same climbing plants on them. Do you do that or do you have so many different climbing plants that you can rotate them? I'm thinking of getting some cattle panels and setting up at least another place and then I can at least rotate and skip a year. I have so many rocks that I just can't put a trellis up anywhere. I have to figure out an alternative way of putting them up. I put in some raised beds and I hope I can attach to them.

I’ve been watching your videos on the big tv. It’s so much better than my tiny little iPhone. Anyway, I’ve commented before about relearning everything. Five years ago, I lived in northwest Illinois. I could grow anything. The soil was rich and fertile. I was used to the climate. I’d lived there for 60 years. And then, we moved to Ohio. Everything changed. A different climate zone, clay soil that was as hard as cement, deer eating everything…sigh. I’m still learning and trying to amend my soil. I never had to think about amendments until we moved here. I feel like a newbie, even though I’ve been gardening for over 45 years. Thanks for your videos. You’ve given me the stamina i need to keep going and have kept discouragement away well enough to keep me from saying I give up.

Last year was the first year for the new cut flower bed and I got so wrapped up in getting that set up that the veggie garden was a bit of a mess.

I've already started so many seeds with the intention of selling some. I'm hoping to can a lot more tomatoes this year as it seems to be what we use the most of. I've got a lot of San marzano, and amish paste as well as a few other hybrids I want to try. Last year I figured out how to can dried cherry tomatoes in evoo. You don't pressure can, instead wash them in vinegar, put them in a dehydrator, and then pack them in hot (but not boiling) evoo, lid on and then put them in the oven at 250. The trick is to fill your pint jars about 3/4 full (so leave a lot of head space). It took about an hour at that temp to get the oil to 250. Which kills botulism. Then turn the oven off and let them cool down in there. I used 1 without a lid for temperature testing purposes. It's one of my favorite pasta add ins.

I’m new. Last year was the first garden in 15 years. It is a small raised bed but I would like to make another one. This is great advice. I’m in 6 a and I’m going to start winter sowing and some direct sowing. I am planning where to place my plants. I didn’t do a great job last with that. My peppers were shaded out. I planted my brassicas too late so there’s that. I’m excited to try again. I really liked how you talked about having the right tools and methods to deal with pests. I will be referring back to this video. Thanks very much.

Its always different from year to year, and we keep learning what works and does not work in each of our gardens. And we learn what we want to “waste” time, energy, money, and water on. I dont feel the need to grow cauliflower- no one in my family likes it. I dont want to grow cabbage…too much space that I want to use for other things. I have found that my flower gardening and landscaping wins out over vegetable production and enjoyment. I love cut flowers in my house and to give away. I guess what I am saying is that you start to figure out what you like to see and to do, and don’t waste your time on things that you wont eat or enjoy.

I have a similar process to yours, but I haven't been as on the ball with tracking once plants go into the ground. I have my Google spreadsheet and then I have a Goodnotes "notebook" where I write out what I need to do monthly, as well as what I actually get done. And I take pictures of each bed as I plant it and label them in the notebook as well, which is helpful for when I forgot what I direct seeded or when volunteers come up. You've given me a lot of ideas of things to track, especially when it comes to usage of what I grow.

This is my FIRST time to ever have garden plans prior to seeing plants in the big box stores. Hopefully I am starting small, time will tell. I actually have already set up 3 raised beds (only 3x4). I started my garden plan 2 days ago and fell into sorting seeds by zip lock system. (I loved all seeds equally last year-about 50 packets.) I have already determined I need 4 additional seed packets, going to see if I can get them at the big box tomorrow.

You make a lot of good points! It would be very good for a new gardener to listen to what you are saying. This is really a great tutorial! Three years ago I made a scale map of all 14 of our raised beds. Then scaled out where everything was to be planted. My first time companion planting. Well, lol, once I changed my winter idea, it slowly went down hill after that. So I just get on line with catalogs next to me and make a list of wants. Let it sit for a couple of days and then I start the whittling down process. I grown really nice eggplant, but this year I decided not to. I'm trying a different type of sweet pepper instead. Our bed sare all different sizes...a couple only 2'x2' with trellises all the way to 2'x26', 4'x20', etc. What ever I could find at the time laying around to make them out of. Last year I put in two 3' diameter fire rings for annuals. No more maps lol! I went back to my old school ways to make it less confusing for me lol. I just wing it. I had overwhelmed myself with all the notebooks and maps lol. But, I do do some of the things you talked about naturally. Enjoyed your take on preparing! Take care!

I'm currently winter sowing in milk jugs and putting them in a snow cave before the (hopefully) last storm of the season comes in a few hours. We are supposed to get 10-18 inches (Alaska). I would really like to get this chore done before the snow falls! I have no idea how many plants I need of what. As of yet we have no infrastructure. After getting seeds finished off outside, the next project is building some wicking raised beds out of pallets. (be careful with using pallets as they can sometimes be treated with chemicals. Do some research about which pallets are safe). Not sure how many I will get built before breakup happens and the snow gets out of my way. While building those I am also going to be learning vermicomposting. I've been saving kitchen scraps outside (natural freezer) for when I was able to take on the task of setting it up. I've also saved the cardboard from renovations that we are currently recovering from. I've been learning about things while I was in a "season" of not being able to do anything, so I learned what to gather. now I have several parts collected waiting to be put together for their purpose. I'm hoping I can get everything timed well for when I need it all. Renovations ran late and now I'm trying to play catch up while also trying to unpack and settle in. I'm thankful I took the time to learn about the kind of life I wanted so that I would recognize opportunities as they presented. Had I chosen to watch mindless TV shows I wouldn't have been ready for those opportunities.

My biggest downfall is not planning ahead for subsequent crops, such as what to plant after garlic and onions mid-summer and getting that started indoors if need be.

None of my strawberries were good (I think the squirrels ate the good ones) two of my tomato plants got blight. My cherry tomatoes did so well that they crowded out my rosemary, jalapeños, bell peppers, and banana peppers 😆 My parsley did the best. I physically could not harvest it fast enough. But this year I want a bigger space so I can space things out better. My problem is that I want to grow everything but deep down I know I should start small 😅

I suspect the 'wanting to grow everything' problem is very common with us gardeners! I hope this year goes great for you!
