Shade those peppers! They will do much better in shade. Bone meal mixed with castings or sifted compost will keep your flowers blooming a productive. NIGHT watering when Temps past 90, DAILY. It's looking like y'all need to be in watermelonwarz 😊

I have never commented, but great harvest. I bought from the big box store this year and I am a little nervous on the progress. I will probably go back to Dixondale for the onions. Stay cool over there. Dealing with the heat too in NJ.

Thanks so much for sharing these 3 tools! We grew up calling the 'action hoe' a 'hula hoe' and really appreciate how well it can knock the weeds down (even though it is also sowing in more weed seeds in the process, dang it). The auger is new to me, and I TOTALLY gotta get one! I have compost that has chunks that need busting up. I have about 6,000sq.ft. of hillside that I want to plant. I can see that really helping this senior gal in the yard. The vacuum idea for bugs is so smart! I'm growing cantaloupe for the first time this year, and I'll keep this tip in mind. Thanks for sharing 💚

Thank you for this video; I just ordered an action hoe. One of my favorite gardening "tools" are plastic mortar tubs. I use them for mixing in soil amendments, to hold the dug-up soil when planting and to carry plants and tools to the garden. They're pretty light, inexpensive and relatively indestructible.

Hey, I have a tower of 18 plants and they have just started putting out these runners. I thought they were a stem with a broken-off leaf at first lol. Is there a way I can get them to root into soil without them being able to reach the ground? Maybe I'll try one of them tiny 1 inch pots of soil that can dangle from the tower without breaking the runner. I don't know if Im making any sense.
@hisandherbshighdeserthomestead

you can try cutting the runner off. Leave about 2 inches of stem on the runner, and place it in a shallow container of water. Just enough to cover the bottom of the daughter plant. It should root that way too. I haven't had success with it, but I've seen others do it and win.
