Arugula. I love this video. I have always lived in Connecticut and live in.a rental and don't have a garden. I would have gone crazy growing and trying out your wonderful tips. Best wishes.

Bunch onions are amazing for bees

Zone 6 here. My kale never died. I wish i just left it. I cut it down to plant lettuce like a dummy. Now i know thank you.

Cite video, thank you.

Thos fricken worms on your carrots can go to hell lmao.... i have a nightly war with tomato plants and these guys, or a real similar one.... maybe if i had this decoy it wouldnt be a problem lol

Wow! Great quote: "Gardening is a partnership with nature!" This was a terrific video. It's a game changer. Your suggestions allow me to work with nature's timing rather than my own. For instance, I love cilantro, and cook with it, but I have not been successful with bolting and thought I failed. I will definitely plant some now and let them go to seed to pop up when the time is right. Radish pods are the edible treat I'm after, great in stir fries and for me, way better than radish. I didn't notice that pollinators love them, though, and I took all the pods. Now, I will keep an area for radish and let it reseed by not picking all the pods. Ill also follow your sage advice with carrot and dill. Thanks so much for this.

Very enjoyable interview! 👍👍 I just subscribed to your channel.

We’ve had a cold spring in zone 6 in Utah, snowed the last few days, and I planted cilantro seeds a few weeks ago and they’ve all sprouted and started growing well even though they’ve had snow on them 😂

Very helpful video for pruning fruit trees. Thank you.

Yay! A real NC gardener with whom I can identify although I am guessing you do not enjoy okra. I tune into other gardening channels mostly for amusement but yours is where I go to learn. Keep up the great work.

So much info. Thanks!

I saw a very similar one on parsley and left it until it made a cocoon. I took it inside and a Monarch hatched.

Do you think I could put my Parisian Carrot tubers in the fridge in their container and then put back outside in the heat to get them to bolt this year before Fall? I can`t find any info.

How do you keep pests you don't want to attract by putting down cardboard, like termites which love cardboard?

My toughest cucumber plant that survived from March until October last year somehow made a giant cucumber in the grass. I used it to feed my fig tree. The seeds sprouted so I transplanted some by a new fig tree as a ground cover and they`re really doing well right now. So far no figs on my 14 month old tree. I trimmed it and it`s already a dense bush. Not sure what to do with it. Cuttings I guess.

If you let them go to seed, do you just let the plants die back and regrow the next season in the same space year after year? Do you recondition the soil around it each year?

Radishes are really easy to grow, and saute great

There`s an armadillo with a BLAZING nose somewhere out there after I sprinkled over a pound of the hottest red pepper powder made all over the mulch around my garden. He tried though in three places and even broke through my bunny barrier. But he wasn`t around very long this time! I just got another pound of pepper powder too.

Hi! What about fruit trees how do you prevent bugs ?

The black swallowtail butterflies love the parsley as well actually eating it totally to the ground overnight at times dill is amazing in flower arrangements and was thrilled dill tolerated winter here in the Savannah area as well as coriander I learn more every year and thank you for sharing your knowledge love the inter planting of herbs with edibles throughout the vegetable garden

I use a CF meter mix it to 12 to 14 and for flowering I mix pee up to 3 and pot ash out of the fire place and add it in with the pee then mix it up to 14 biggest buds iv grow never looked back

One of the most thoughtful videos I have seen in a while. I always let a few of my favorite tomatoes to just rot in place. I put a handful of compost over it in the late fall and a cloche over it. I find these tomatoe plants to do the best in my garden.

I always fail growing starters in peat pellets, I prefer starting them in pots with a good starter soil

We’re zone 4b and we have cilantro scattered throughout the garden and they self seed every year.

Well, I just slaughtered my tomato plants (via pruning)!🤣 Thanks for the tips, I have back up!💪🏿

radish seed pods are tasty. Try one.

I hope my garden in year 2024 and followed your tip is good and I put all my plants of tomatoes.

Unripe radish seeds are better than the actual radishes. They're tasty

This is exactly what I'm going to do this year...I need to can some tomatoes. Thank you!

I think you could also try to grow more resilient plants or skip some vegetables completely for some other ones. I did that with beans, because I can't control the pests organically and now I'll grow more kale, cucumbers and pumpkins instead.

I live in zone 7a I had my cilantro in full sun from end of winter till next frost it qas like a big bush kept growing till the frost hit. It also grew back on its own I don't know how it never went to flower.

I respect your opinion and thanks for sharing.

Its great you guys make videos Ive gone from clueless to having a cute food mini forest. This year Im prepping more food from the garden - my signs fr plants in the future should or will read - rhubarb crumble, smoky bbq salsa, or sesame stir fry spinach. ❤

I have ALL the stuff that attracts these beautiful creatures! And I've been seeing more each year. I did not know that they ate mosquitoes and qnats! Big plus for me!!

i let my beneficial bug flowers go to seed. i also let a few dedicated onions and leeks go to seed. i get free seed , and the lady bugs, predatory insects love them. allium flowers are not only very beautiful, their umbellifer flowers are a MUST for bees. to get your alliums to flower within one season, plant them VERY early, and they naturally start their biennial lifecycle to the second year, which results in flowers within one season. I also allow my parsley and basil to self seed. carefree and maintenance free

No taste test? 😂

Chives! Chives everywhere! Also I had oregano re-seed in my side yard and now when I mow over there it smells like pasta sauce 😂

Soooo. WHAT IS BLOOD meal used for?

I have a duck problem

I had arugula self seed and germinate before the end of last year here in north Illinois. I would say 95% of it overwintered and is already flowering this year. We hit -14F last winter.

I live in a northern state, so maybe that has something to do with it, but if you have a healthy system in place on your property, meaning not just edible plants, but also good perennials that invite good insects into your property, the insect problems just kind of take care of themselves. I have never once had to spray anything to control insects.

I let broccoli offshoots go to seed. Thanks. Glory to Ukraine. God Bless Ukraine and her people. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Great information! I don't feel so bad about my cilantro now. I may put a radish and cilantro in pots and let them do their thang!

Or you could just pull them. In a well mulched bed, they're not hard to yank out. I'm not all that keen on covering the soil like that, even if it breaks down (eventually).

Nice good to know. A month ago I planted a raised bed of baby reds and golden taters. Covered soil with cedar pet bedding shavings that I had laying around. I will try on tomatoes too but never really have an issue with fungus on them for I keep them pruned and vine them up cattle panel. Only “fun guy” I welcome in my garden is the Millennial Gardener, thanks for all the informative fun videos, MG!

Never ate Kale. Getting 1 Kale plant. Thanks. I had no idea. It's been so wet here zone 6b. Gnats . Hopefully some of my carrots reseed and sprout in March and April 2025. God willing. Okay. I'll get one extra Kale for my grandchildren's mom. .... They should do good because, Stunted fall turnips wintered over and now 4 ft tall. Leaves are yummy and plants now bolting. Thanks again. Beautiful Black Swallowtail and caterpillar.

Those radish seed pods are edible, still spicy unless you cook them, but edible. I eat my radish with roasted vegetables. No spice when they’re cooked and they taste like wet potatoes when they’re roasted.

Radish seeds pods are edible and can be eaten in lieu of radish roots in warm weather. Rat tail radish is grown for its larger pods.
