Even though I have plenty to do right now in the garden and orchard, this is making me want to buy some more plants, Angela. ☺️😎 Trying to hold firm and wait until fall! Love your choices though! 👏👏👏 I've wanted a Red Twig Dogwood for ages. Vanilla Spice Summersweet - the name alone is enough to grow this! I have to cut back my Bottlebrush regularly (and severely) because it grows so fast and tall! You must have found a dwarf variety. I understand your thought to take a "year off" normal gardening and get all your infrastructure set in place. Feeling overwhelmed or disappointed definitely can pull us down. Working on "just" your landscaping, flowers, herbs, a few veggies - that sounds really enjoyable and maybe just what you need! ❤

The heat is definitely slowing down my veggie production here, too. Already very much looking forward to fall! 😁😎 My best-producing veggies so far are my cherry tomatoes, followed by my zucchini.

Great tip about the paint pen, Angela. I only tried using them for plant tags last year, and they work super well. 😊 Overseeding for insurance is definitely smart! You know, as far as all melons go, I wait to seed until mid-June. They just grow so much faster and better for me in the heat. Same with peppers. 😎 I think you starting your watermelon, squash, and cucumbers in your greenhouse will work really well. They'll love the added heat, and they're protected from all the critters until they're bigger! I grow cherry tomatoes only these days because they just do SO much better in the high heat here than big tomatoes. Plus, they ripen so quickly and are so prolific! 😁 Good thinking saving those pepper seeds! We're 105° F today - typical for June. The really high heat (110-118° usually) kicks in come July and lasts through the end of August. Never any rain. So yes, watering is extremely important! 😎 But well worth it! Thanks for sharing your garden progress! 😊

My experience tomatoes do not grow big in small bags. Surprised your using your smallest bags for tomatoes. Yes they grow but they don't get the big size they would in the ground or in much bigger bags or totes. I used a 40 one and planted and early girl and they stayed the size of a baseball just a lot smaller than normal size fruit.

I hear ya! I've grown them all kind of ways. The first time I grew tomatoes, it was in a 12 x 24 grow box, 2 plants per box, on our back deck when we lived in the city. Then when we moved here, I used 5 gallon buckets, before I had any raised beds. I found that they did well either way. Even now when I have several raised beds, it all comes down to numbers as far as who gets what container and trying to fit in everything I want to grow. Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

It's always such a dilemma in the spring to try finding spots for all the seedlings! 😊 Your Oak Leaf Hydrangeas look fantastic. I've only been growing Hydrangeas for a couple of years, but I love them! (I have one OLH, and it's my favorite because of its fall colors.) Of course, I had to find a place here that only gets morning sun to make these plants happy. 😎 I'm using my grow bags again this year, mostly for tomatoes, but they take so much water and still tend toward dryness, so I've put in some ollas to keep the plants moist down by the roots. Yes, Lemon Balm and (my favorite!) Lemon Verbena smell incredibly amazing! Everyone should grow them! 🍋🍋🍋 Happy May Gardening!

I still grow Matt's most years, but save those for salads and recipes that call for cherry tomatoes rather than eating right off the vine. Hope this was helpful!

Sorry to say this but you’ll find they can tear holes in that. I tried and they got through and dug up all my freshly planted corn kernels. Hardware cloth (aka wire mesh) is your only sure thing. Oh, and not chicken wire, they can get through that too. All this being said, sometimes making it slightly harder to get at is all it takes. Just depends how badly they want it. You could also consider putting out decoy feed on the other side of your property for a few weeks when the ears are nearly ready to harvest.

Hi! Alas, you are so right!! The cloth did nothing to protect the corn. The following year I ended up growing corn in my small greenhouse, which kept it out of reach of squirrels but the corn did not flourish. I like the idea of using decoy feed elsewhere when the time is right. Hardware cloth might be difficult to wrangle around and over the corn stalks, for me at least.

Hi, Angela! Your garden is just bursting into life there! So lovely to see everything so lush and healthy!😊 All the potatoes are doing great, and those sound like interesting varieties. Wow! *Amazing* garlic! You definitely are an expert with that crop! ☺️ I like your idea about bordering the edges of your raised beds with sedum. Looks like it's something that could really work. Oh, your oak leaf hydrangeas look beautiful already. ❤ I bought one of these last year (for the gorgeous foliage), and it's just now about to bloom. 😁 Hope it warms up enough for you to plant all your lovely peppers soon - and your other seedlings, too, of course. ☺️ I've been *completely* knocked flat for over a week with a severe flu and migraine, so the garden has definitely taken some major hits. Hoping to get working out there again very soon though. 😊

Love this video! I’m so excited about my ghost pepper plant, I tried growing them last year but the heat killed the whole plant 😢 I hope it works out this season!
