I am a beginner-beginner raise bed gardener, I am well known for killing plants, drowning fish, and burning salads. Your videos are super helpful, there is so much information I had to watch them over and over again to keep it in my head. A 70 years old retired Math teacher and WWII history writer. My dream is to eat my own tomatoes.

Hello! Have you managed to eat your own tomatoes or you burned down the whole garden? 😅😅

I keep telling my gardener neighbors and folks on these RU-vid videos to save their cottage cheese containers to transplant their baby plants into once they get their true leaves. There is lots of room for the roots, the containers are free (after the food is used) and they are tough containers that can be used year after year. I have been saving my empties all winter, wash them and melt drain holes in the bottoms. Life is good. Bob

You know that moment when you get it you GET IT!! I have watched a lot of your videos and a few others, convinced that it had to be the ground sterilizer that the previous owners sprayed on this property for 15/20 yrs. I couldn't even grow weeds in this ground until last year. I am no gardener by any stretch but I can grow a few things (except here). After watching this video today, it might be a little bit more me than I thought or would admit to!! Thanks for such wonderful information!!

Fantastic video! I really appreciated the information on planting things out too early for your Zone. A lot of the box stores are guilty of making people think that just because they're selling the plants that they can be planted outside. I had a friend of mine telling me that he had bought peppers at a big box store and was going to plant them outside even though I told him that we are Zone 6A and you never plant peppers out in the middle of April!

@UrbanGardeningWithD.A.Hanks14 2 года назад

Good info as always, Brian! Here's a little cheat on your last frost date if you don't mind my adding: To be on the safe side, plant two weeks after the last frost date. However, as we continue to drift to the south and west at the rate of about 20 miles per year, our seasons are getting longer, so here's the cheat: The Weather Channel and others give pretty accurate monthly forecasts, so starting a month ahead of your last frost date, check the long range forecast. If it shows all clear for two weeks on either side and you are a Vegas player, put them out early.

We have pricked out into 4 inch pots and put them under removable cloches at night on the soil. They are fine thankfully.

Wish I'd seen this and your new video on peppers sooner. I just bought some veggie plants today, including 2 varieties of peppers. But I didn't know about the phosphorus, and I skipped getting mulch because I wanted to research the seeding straw I saw to find out if it would be suitable for this.

@doncook3584 3 года назад

(Possibly having frost tonight again:( )But this will be helpful in another 2 or 3 weeks. I have tree chips from a couple maples that were removed. Can I use them to mulch? I thought that I heard that the chips would suck nitrogen from the soil. It would be great if I could since I have a huge pile.

What do you buy for mulch? Pine shavings (like for chicken bedding)? Straw in a bale? I am using my spent goat bedding between my (in ground) beds. I have picked through hay but I would think it has too many seeds in it. The goat breeding is a compressed pine pellet that I add water to. That breaks down the pellets. But I would think that is so absorbent that it could pull moisture from the soil?
