Great back yard. Reminds me of mine and my growing techniques. I grew up in the 80s on a small homestead. You have many of these skills. Keep sharing and teaching folks. People just do not understand how extremely simple satisfying it is to grow a plant. If you can grow one you can grow many. Keep teaching!
Thank you William for your kind words. Its is extremely satisfying to grow a plant and even more satisfying to eat that plant afterwards. I like sharing how I grow this garden because of how surprising it is that we can actually grow our own food in spaces we wouldn't normally think of.
You can get 4 pair of panty hose for $7 on amazon. Really enjoyed the cukes and other veggies. Thanks so much, it is inspiring. I saw your bucket wicking project too and I want to try that out. Northern CA here.
You have a beautiful, productive garden! For our melons and vining squash we reuse mesh produce bags and or pantyhose to make hammocks, in which we rest the melons/squash and tie to a fence or trellis. Works really well for us. I also spray some peppermint essential oil spray on the hammock material to deter insects from biting into the fruit.
Do you mean multiple tomato sprouts in one container? If so you could wait until they grow a couple true leaves and dig out and separate the starts into other containers or if you don’t need the xtra plants then just pull out the extra sprouts because you will only want one plant in your container. I let my volunteer tomato starts grow a bit to see which is the strongest one. I use basic cages for my plants but there are many great ways to keep your plants growing up.
If you do, you will have to employ some tactics to keep them around in your garden. You would think a plentiful aphid supply would be enough, but they really like to fly away.
@@theUrbanGardener You could look into getting predatory mites. I call them spiders because they have 8 legs. Anyhow, you can get some off of Amazon for about $30 or so. They don't have wings so they can't fly away. We use them in our cannabis grow.
