What are the white hoop frames that are sitting on top of the wooden raised beds? Time stamp is 3:30. Also, what region is your garden in? You are spot on in your advice! Thanks
James, I’ve been watching your garden videos here for a couple of months now and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your enthusiasm and the value of your efforts. I’ve been gardening since I was about ten years old which was sixty five years ago and gardening is still my favorite activity One more thing to say here. I also really like the contribution Tuck makes to your show. Our Yorkie Isabella passed away three years ago and like Tuck she was a faithful companion and protector in the garden. You and Tuck keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching S Keller Indianapolis IN
Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot to me and Tuck. Wow you sure have some experience gardening! Sorry to hear Bella passed away, it sounds like she and Tuck would have gotten along great! Best of luck with your garden this year!
I invested money into a seedling grow station as shown by Millennial Gardener. 90% of it failed due to my bad timing and other factors. However, as a low effort experiment, I let two tomatoes from the garden last year rot in small planters on my back stairs. I now have hardened tomato plants to put in my garden!
I would love it if you did an episode on when to pick blooms off of plants. Sometimes, when buying starter plants, you may get plants that start flowering too early. I'd enjoy getting your input on when to pick off these flowers and when the plant is large and mature enough to leave these flowers.
❤❤❤❤ Tuck is the Best pup. Love him and Thanks JP for all your Advise and growing wisdom. My garden is growing every year because of the encouragement and ideas you share on the daily.
Thankyou James. Love your Tuck. I have a German shepherd that does the same thing, only I don't let him in the garden because he likes to cultivate when it doesn't need it.😂
I love your enthusiasm !! And watching Tuck is so much fun. I had 2 Yorkie mother and son. Mom passed a couple years ago at 15 1/2. Son is 14 now and we adopted a 4 yr old yorkie/chiwawa. They really steal your heart. Give Tuck a hug from a Yorkie mama from Montana. God bless ! Love your videos.
I just read this year that if you start them in seed trays they need to be moved into the garden bed when the first true leaves are just emerged. At that point, top growth stops and they send out lateral roots and if those roots run into sidewalls, the plant will die.
My potatoes are also doing awesome! Last year I didn’t put any in until May, this year I put a few I the ground back in March. The plants look so healthy and strong. I thought I lost them to frost at one point because they were turning black.. but they’re all green and happy now.
I live down near Houston Texas. I found that they do better growing over the winter in my region. Rather than planting them out in spring, I get them started late July to August.
Another really excellent video James! Concise, knowledgeable information is hard to come across from RU-vidrs, and I so appreciate you not wasting your audience’s time. All the ❤❤❤s to Tuck!
Thanks for reminding us not to set plants outside too early! Nightly temps are like low 50s where I'm at, but we had a few odd warm days, and cold snaps too, not long ago. May is like a roller coaster! ❤
I saved a bee today and it felt great lol. For real though. I never had such an appreciation and love for bees as i do know growing my own food. I was in the store today and a bee was on the window sill, so i picked it up and brought it back outside. Actually made my day.
Some awesome advice there James. I still make some of those mistakes but on purpose, because it suits my conditions and method. I'd better send Tuck some love. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Cheers!
We started out with Azaleas and berries that grew tall as trees that were already here. Dragonflies and butterflies so beautiful. Small garden in our backyard. Extended to front and loving it all. Keeping us young in our 70's. ❤Tuck ❤is a cutie. Thank you James. We have partial shade. Your encouragement has made all the difference. ❤
Excellent advice to start small ! Also concentrate on your soil and I would recommend getting a planting schedule from your local cooperative extension service. This will save you much heartache. ❤❤❤❤ to Tuck, the Little Boss!
James, I love your passion for gardening and teaching us. As a new gardener myself, I feel like I learn a lot from you. Thank you! I love seeing Tuck in the videos too! ❤️❤️❤️
Your wisdom about gardening is so wise!!! People think if there's no food they'll just grow a garden, it doesn't work that way. You have to learn what grows best for you. And go from there!!! That's how I personally did it and by the way I pray over my garden!!!!🙏🕊❤ Of course mine is nowhere's near as productive as yours. But God has Blessed me and there is so much still to learn always!!! Thank you for all your knowledge and wisdom that you share. God Bless! You and all who watch!! Hearts for Tuck, he is greatly loved!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve been doing a potted garden the last four years and this year is my first in-ground garden. It is VERY difficult to keep from just tearing up my entire back yard for a garden right now. When things work properly it’s exciting and hard to control. When it doesn’t, it’s kind of depressing. Last year I planted 16 Scorpion peppers and only one produced. Even when things seem to be going right it can all change when you go to harvest. Great videos!
My biggest tip is to learn what specific varieties grow well in your zone, as well as knowing what can be grown during certain times in your area. I live in north Texas and we can only grow radishes, brassicas and carrots in the winter months. Peas are planted by Feb 14 and garlic and carrots are seeded at the end of October here.
Love your videos; I too planted an invasive plant; I will be digging up Dutch clover for the next 10 years. Tuck loves his radish's; we had a dog who would prance into the greenhouse and pull his own radish out of the soil. ❤
Great points for me. I donʻt know what they do at plant nurseries. But I broke down and bought an eggplant starter. Such a good feeling to see a strong seedling grow. Thanks for the many tips.
I was the newbie here last season and these are all great tips. I've learned so much since last summer and I'm glad I kept it small scale then. Now I have maybe 3x as many plants started and my mom has her traditional flowers started along with radish, tomato and a lot of herbs. We also have a ton of wild roses and yarrow growing around the yard perimeter and then tons of wildflowers in the woods
Yay Tuck! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Glad he’s ok. Poor guy - allergies suck. Wonderful tips. Going big too soon is definitely a no-no. Thank you for your videos!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💕🌱
Great tips! In addition to growing tomatoes and peppers vertically, be sure to pinch out the "sucker" stems as soon as they come in so growth remains focused on the main stem. Tomato and pepper plants that wind up spreading due to allowing too many side branches to form wind up shading or crowding out your bed as well.
This is very helpful, thanks. I am growing heirloom varieties, this year. I intuitively planted flowers amongst my veggies; but, I needed the tip about bolting, because I growing lettuce and chard is new to me. And, I have only been covering my sunflower heads, to keep the birds away. Thanks for the tips!
This video was great and thank you so much for the inspiration. I am a new gardner a 2 years in and have finally found my way with flowers. I even finally found a happy medium with my roses and fruit trees. I live in a very hot and humid zone 10a which is in Florida. We are hitting the 100s and the humidity is starting to creep up at 50% which eventually will go to 100% humidity which is tortue, for me and my poor plants so lots of maintenance and overseeing. This said I decided to try my hand in vegetables, fruits and herbs. So far my fruit trees are 2nd year and are doing well. I have now about 25 fruit trees from three variations of oranges, grapefruit, peaches, mango and so forth. So I thought growing vegetables from seed would be a breeze. NOT!!! So far I have managed to kill all of my yellow and red onions, well I have four that have survived out of 25. I have murdered the lettuce, scallions and cilantro. Who kills cilantro, me! I don't know what I am doing wrong. I see by this video spacing could be an issue and I see now that the marigolds I planted from seed in my same flower bed grew larger than I expected and totally blocked the lettuce from the sun and same with my cilantro. I planted the onions with my carrots and the carrots require lots of water so I have read and apparently my onions didn't like that much so they drowned. Is there any advice you could give me on growing successfully? I am nervous now on planting the other seeds I have that are broccoli, egg plant, and another type of lettuce. I am going to try cilantro again in the flower bed but this time I will make sure it has plenty of sun and air flow. Any other advice. Sorry so long.
I LOVE Tuck! I'm so glad he enjoys the vegetables... My dogs love them too! They go crazy for romaine lettuce and bell peppers 😂 I never realized how much dogs like veggies and fruit especially. Thank you so much for your very informative videos! You've been so very helpful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
