I'm encouraged to see Gary's garden struggling because mine is suffering bad in 6b PA... Well, indeed every season is different. This year sucked for us. Tomorrow I'll be reinvigorated to help the old plants and start fall crops! Happy gardening.

I have so many dead plants on my patio right now lol...this TX heat zapped my enthusiasm for gardening big time, but I got my 2nd wind this weekend and I've planted more okra, zucchini, dwarf tomatoes and a Kaho melon. It's still hot, but I'm hoping cooler weather comes our way soon...

Thank you for giving me the strength to keep going I have felt so defeated this year! I had army worms, fungus of several diffrent varieties, squash bugs, spider mites, ECT you name it and it went wrong this year! I love my garden and have had it for many years but was seriously thinking of not doing anymore with it until the end of this video and now I don't feel so bad or overwhelmed and want to continue ❤

Your garden has inspired me for many years. Thanks for sharing :)

I can relate to the burnout. My container garden was needed to be water often. Glad for cooler weather.

I have to say it, because you've helped me a lot with this: When things go awry in the garden, or not as we imagined or planned,try not to take it personally. Nature does what it's designed to do. Grasshoppers (major ugh, btw) gotta eat - and they didn't know you were hoping to have that lettuce yourself. I finally had a few grape clusters on my young vines and the squirrels stripped me clean. I didn't even get to taste one. Did they plot and plan that? Prolly not. 😉 Next year, I'll know better though. Great ramble Mr. P - thank you.

I've finally caught my 2nd wind. I'm glad I started seeds when I was burnt out. Brassicas taste so much better in fall

Thank you, for your encouragement! I have learned a lot from you!

Even with 40% shade cloth I've hardly gotten any tomatoes at all this year--our temps have been over 100 for about 90% of the summer. I think through late June and all of July we only had 3 days under 100, though we've finally dropped into the consistent 90s starting about 3 days ago and supposedly going for at least the next week. We even had 89 yesterday! So I'm hoping my tomatoes and cucumbers and winter squash will finally start setting fruit.

Good video, just what I needed to clean up a little bit and plant some lettuce!!😍

Thanks for your encouragement! I found using white insect netting on my plants seems to spook the deer, but I had a touch of flu and didn't get them covered one night. I came out the next day and there was only one green tomato left on my 10 broken plants. My husband did cover my beautiful pepper plants so I have a nice crop of those. We harvested 6 red bell peppers tonight. I found white insect netting seems to help with the deer. I hear if they are the white tail deer, tying old white socks on the fence helps too. They think it is another herd of deer.

The main reason why I'm afraid of over-watering tomatoes is that it reduces the fruits' flavour. Especially if you grow them single stem. I had one year where I gave too much water and even my Cherokee Purples and Brandywines tasted like NOTHING - just water. But some of the best tomatoes I ever tasted were from plants that looked half-dead, because they had little water. And for me fruit flavour is what it's all about. Also, other people (correctly) are afraid of fruit split. So I think tomatoes (and melons/watermelons) are the exception - there is such a thing as over-watering with these fruits. But the best advice that I heard from an old man is "stick your finger in the ground... if it's moist, don't water, but if it's dry, water!" Simple, but works!

I'm burn't out for this season. lol

Oh how lovely would 62* be!! We were 98 heat index of 115 today… I am SO ready for the cool weather. My garden is parched. Even with 70% shade cloth everything is sad.

Amazing. Its still 100+ still here. Worst summer garden I have ever had. Only items that survived were Early Girl & sungold tomatoes (all others died including my tomatilos), i got only 7 zucchinis (last year I filled two freezers full). My bell peppers are producing but the aphids will not leave them alone even with hitting them with organic pesticide, planted 2 dozen pumpkins and most died. All my pole beans grew all the way up and over my trellis and then died. Next year bush beans. Got about 12. Herbs and Basil loving life. Strawberries doing great. Lemon tree died...blueberries got torched and now my pomegranate bush is dying. Im absolutely beside myself. Maybe I have been crop dusted. I am just in shock.

I’m definitely feeling that garden burnout right now. It’s still 95-100 degrees everyday here in TX but I know I need to get my Fall seeds started. Finding it hard to get the motivation but I’m going to try to push through. If all else fails, I’ll just buy a few starts from the nursery. Lol

Hi Gary. I’m south of you in a mixed zone 6b/7a/7b and the leaves have already started turning. We have been in the mid-80’s the last week and now have a few high-70’s days with expected warm up back to the 80’s next week. Should I remove my shade cloth or wait another week?

Honestly only burned out because we've had such a wet summer in southern Ontario and when I say wet I mean insanely wet. Flooding ... record flooding and rainfall within short periods of time. That ultimately led to insanely stunted tomato plants and carrots that really haven't put on a ton of bulk. Cucumbers and peppers have been great though along with weirdly the determinate tomatoes. However, heirloom tomato varieties (the ones you live for) were not good and the disease pressure was brutal along with slugs, millipedes (never thought those would be a huge pest), and earwigs.

Great video. Wondering if it's too late to plant fall potatoes in 7b.

Hmm? Regarding tomatillo. Have a single beautiful plant that's loaded with flowers and covered with bees. Not a single fruit. Found a volunteer growing in a pot on the other side of the house so moved it close to it's sister... will try hand pollinating as well as letting the bees do their wonderful job. Wondering if variety matters?

You need some Bone Sauce on that Peach tree. Great deer repellent!

Hi! Great video as usual. I am in the Frederick County, Virginia and have a few raised beds and a small compost pile. Am I right in thinking not to compost material that is infested with insects? Some of my Russian kale had white flies and harlequin beetles and I did not compost that. What are your thoughts?

Wow, how do you keep the powdery mildew off your cantelope?? All of mine have it really bad, and one of the plants completely died back before the fruit ripened.

Hey Gary. I have a question. I'm in Baltimore city and I want to grow fruit trees. I have 2 peaches, a nectarine and a fig that I want to espalier. But I'm in the city... medium yard, alleys, hands reaching in yard taking my berries... I want to get an expert in my area to let me know if I'm OK in my tree and garden placement in ground out back. I also have berry bushes and apple trees in pots out front... lol

I can't find a water solvable fertilizer at local garden centers

We live in SW Ohio and out garden this year has been a major disappointment. The only thing that has done well are the peppers and strawberries. Now the strawberries are being attacked by crickets! They are planted in 36 inch tall raised beds that are on legs. They were picture perfect and thriving when I was out there on Sunday, pinning the stollens to the soil. Now crickets have magically appeared and in large numbers. We have eight 4 foot long planters in a row on the front side of our house and the only other edibles planted in the area are herbs. What can I do to get rid of the crickets? The sticky pads didn't work and they are hopping from leaf to leaf, so diatomaceous earth won't be something they come in contact with. Please help!

Gary…I’m SO disappointed. I got some (very few) tomatoes earlier, but now all I fave are big, lush plants, with no tomatoes; lots of blossoms. What am I doing wrong?

I just do not know what has gone on with my garden😢. Kale seeds doing ok, some radishes ok, have not seen my carrots come up yet, green beans doing ok, peas so so , everything did so much last year. MY BASIL DID TERRIBLE, SHADE CLOTH DID NOT HELP OR I DID SOMETHING WRONG😢. Can I send you pictures and you can help me😢

I know this is off subject, but did you ever do any voice acting?

Hi all my flowers are drying up

Hit that like button or the garden gods will look down upon you with anger.
