GARDEN TOUR 🍉🍅 June 2020🍆🌽 

Thank you so much.

Juslyn Frederick t

just thought you might like to see some of my canning that I did with your instructions this year. thank you so much for doing this. I'm a visual learner instead of reading directions and following them so your videos have really helped a lot. Here's a picture.

Hi Juslyn! Hugs from San Diego, California 😃

I'm doing the same thing lol. Janice

I know. I was even trying to push the leaves over so I could see better. ☺️

My mother & grandmother kept a small Tupperware salt shaker on a post, underneath a small overturned bucket in our garden.

What do you do with all that produce

@@barbarahayes6158 you should have asked her instead of me. But the logical answer would be, preserve it.

@@barbarahayes6158 She cans.

Bingo!! May need to make a salt shaker holster for my belt this year. Or use the little packets.

I am tomato bougie! I will NOT eat them unless I grow them. Lol. lettuce as well.

what do you mean, cream them?

We love broccoli leaves. We saute them like greens. Im'ma have to try creaming them and maybe my 13 year old will like them as well.

I think it's the same way you cream spinach.

They have to have liquid to get rid of the fuzz. I sautéed them with broth instead of oil.

Ok, you take the little tender leaves, you can eat the big too , but you have to take the vains out. Cut em up like collard greens. Take a iron skillet and add a half cup of water and a eighth of a tsp of baking soda bring to a boil add pumpkin greens. Cook about 6 minutes, you cook them any longer, it's too much pore them into stainer. In the same rinsed skillet add butter 2 TBS, and melt til hot then add a medium onion cut into strip's cook til almost tendrer Then add a tbs of of flour and cook just a minute or so add a half cup of cream and half cup of water. Or one cup of whole fat milk. Then when it starts to thicken add your strained pumpkin. Now my seasons are salt pepper half tsp of tumeric and a tsp of garlic powder. But feel free to add what you like but add them when you get onions just about cooked in the butter!! Try it and you will never look at pumpkin leaves the same way. O my makes me hungry just thinking about them.

It truly works. I've had 3 squash bugs, no eggs and healthy plants so far. Usually by now I'm overrun with the buggers...

Erica S I Always plant marigolds with my veggies. I agree with ya

I sprinkle cinnamon and cloves, I spray peppermint water. I net you can make a rosemary water to spray.

I was going to suggest the marigolds also. Beautiful and useful for pests.😉

We are zone 8. Tfw

Me too

I love tomato sandwiches. I love tomato and avocado sandwiches too! My dad grew the best beefsteak tomatoes I've ever eaten in my life.

🤣😂

😂😂

😂😂😂

Lol. My neighbor sent me an eggplant emoji and i gave him an eggplant! He apologized and I was perplexed??? Then he told me he was attracted to me .... hummm thanks but no thanks, bad intro!

Live From the Ground! 😂😂😂 dear lord! The last thing I would want from someone attracted to me is an eggplant emoji it’s like one step away from a dick pic...

Thanks Amanda🤗

Where do you get cushaw seeds

Homestead where you are then, feed yourself from what you grow. I live in the city but grow my garden in my front yard(my furbabies rule the back yard). I don't care what my neighbors think, I'm trying to learn to be self-sufficient, now the only problem is my neighbor has a damn cat that is scratching in my grow boxes and that is a major problem for me. I also have a chicken coop with six chickens in my back backyard. Just because you are your age it doesn't mean that you want only an if you want it go get it.

I'm 64 and have a garden in my small backyard. It is a lot of work but fun too. I prefer plants to people. Plants don't talk back, they don't argue, they don't yell... And you just try. I'm not always successful but when you are, it sure feels good.☺️

@@marilynmichell9458 if you are in good health..give it a try. You have nothing to loose and lots to gain..not to mention the satisfaction of growing your own food.

Marilyn Michell .........Hey Marilyn!! I’m 69 and have grown something every year, usually zucchini, herbs, and peppers. There’s scientific evidence that being around, working around nature is very beneficial to our health, especially lowering stress, and blood pressure 😉🙏🏾🙏🏾

Wow that's Awesome, growing with the space you have is so Amazing

Hey neighbor!!! About to start a garden as well in my backyard

trulyrblessed if you are in NC, I hear that Fall gardens are better than summer gardens. This will be my first. I’ll mostly be growing all kinds of greens and some root vegetables. Best wishes to you and your new garden. I love container gardening.

🤣😂

😂🤣😂

My 11 yr old Border Collie Katie, gets all the lower Raspberries!

Yes he does, he's always eating my veggies.😁

Scrapykat our cocker spaniel would sit her fat butt in the garden and eat the sugar snap peas right off the vine. Blueberries too

Tried them yesterday yes r good

Your ants could be addressed with dawn and water

YESSSSSS 🤗🌍

Yep, that's exactly the variety.

I'm trying black cherry too this year, planted from seed late but growing well! Can't wait!

😂😂😂Thank you GOL! Please let him back in...he sorry for what ever he did😂

Try him and see if he is a good helper. If not and he wants to grow, give him his own growing space. RU-vid has several couples that grow slightly separately and it works and is very interesting to see their different styles.

Yep, that's what did it

Them naughty stink bugs! I have found holes in my plants also.can caterpillars do that too.i don't have the heart to.kill a Caterpillar cause of what they turn into.so I catch them.and let them go in the woods some where

@@hopeking3588 Take a picture and try to identify it, that's half the fun of gardening.

@@HOMESTEADHEART That something hole at 17:14 was made by a moth sent as a gift from China.

@@hopeking3588 they sure do stink! we are in a heavily wooded area & we get stink bugs in the house in the Winter when there is snow since they hide in the garage plus the house has a lot of rot we can't keep up with.The garage is where the car lives, not us but we have wood beamed ceilings and need a new roof.It could always be worse I guess.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
