Always interesting seeing what veg should look like. All the lettuce in the shops are perfect spheres

Truth!

This year I used an Agralan plug plant tray. My dad bought it 15-20 years ago, never used it. 49 plugs in a 7" by 7" space. 1" diameter by 2.25" deep plugs. Worked great for lettuce. Especially the 2nd batch I planted in late July. I think they all survived the heat. Will have to see if they are still sold or something similar.

Oh wow!! thank you so much for this tip..I'm a newbie on gardening

Thank you good to know Im in North Carolina near the blue ridge mountains in zone 8 Im into proagating roses from cuttings so this could be a good idea through the winter just sticking them in soil with rooing hormone, and rigging up a mister and and maybe some insulation in the box.

I have a tomato patch for my roadside stand. My patch I’d say is around 20’x35’ ish or so?? I don’t remember. I see you are planting these bulbs directly in the garden. I’m presuming that of if I were to till up and plant these around the perimeter that it would be sufficient? That would be a lot of bulbs. My main problem is with the rabbits 🐇 even though I have fencing around it. We used to have horses so I had cattle panels and hardware cloth around it to keep both horses and rabbits out.

Ever tried banana peel water?

I have a friend that lives in Cedar city I’m not sure what the elevation is, but I definitely think it’s pretty high up. She was told that she really can’t grow any berries unless she amends the soil that there are vegetables that are perennial in her. do you have any advice or any videos or how I can help her?

I know we want to order from this company and I’m sold, but can I grow micro greens from sunflower seeds harvested from the sun flowers in my garden? ( I’m a novice 😊)

Mine are yellow. Do I have to wait till it completely dies off?

When you pick the fruit, should you leave it sitting out on your counter for a few days to ripen and will it ripen off of the tree as well or once you pick it from the tree is that it?

??? How do I tell if my tomatillos are ripe? Oregon coast.

??? My garden is made of peat moss, cow manure, shredded leaves and pro-mix, and for whatever reason the tomatoes turned out great, but bell peppers got mushy with brown spots inside and out. What would you suggest for next year?

?: how do i preserve tomatoes seeds for next spring??

Leaning into alliums this next year, lost my tulips last year with voles. Saffron is another attempt as I killed mine this summer. I ordere my bulbs a month ago

You start talking about the topic three minutes in. There’s too much blabbing in the start. Please make your videos more concise or at least have chapters so we can skip to where we want. Just leaves us feeling frustrated and annoyed

Hello, I am new to your page and need help with hornworms. I have searched for the castile soap but don't know where to find one. I live in Basel switzerland. Also I noticed different types of Dr Bronner's soap. Which in particular would you recommend. There is savon non perfume, peppermint, Menthe pouvrée, Baby mild, savon sans perfume,, En-1 savon, etc.

Great video! My potatoes were in the same condition of the first batch you showed, (dead and brown tops) unfortunately 😂 Fantastic and informative upload! Huge 💙 and respect from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 Subbed!! I'm away to harvest them now, it's 5pm and it's a hot sunny day, hoping for the best!!!

I live in toms river nj and the deer ate the tops off of all my tulips so I don't plant them anymore, lol.

I have been eyeing alliums for months. I dug up my Mom's daffodils after she passed and I've been growing them for 9 years now.

I live in Texas zone 9B, I plant daffodils with tulips to prevent the squirrels from digging them up.

Awesome I'm waiting on an order now of 4 of 5. We plan to put them all around our yard to bring in the pollinators. We didn't see many bees here this year, so want to draw them in. Our annual flowers and basil just didn't do that this year. It was odd.Such a great video and learned from it. I appreciate it.

Really love your content but when you do videos like this, which is very climate specific, while interesting isn't really useful to those of us who live in the subtropics (while we can force bulbs as you mention, can't naturalise which kinda defeats the idea. Better to mention that there are different bulb options for the subtropics). Also, it should be noted that the reason why many bulbs repel deer and rodents is bcos they're toxic for most animals - which isn't great if you have livestock. Means that, at the very least, you need to be extremely purposeful about locating your bulbs

I'm sorry this happened, Rick. Thank you for sharing that even you as an experienced gardener make mistakes. We all make gardening mistakes. I look at mistakes as learning experiences and I add the mishaps and mistakes to my garden journal so that I hopefully don't make those mistakes again.

Nice job, thank you for clear instructions. Happy growing to you!

Hey can someone educate me and tell me why rolly pollies are bad? I used cardboard this year as weed block and my garden has done really well and I know and seen rolly pollies love to live underneath a cardboard

I just got my saffron crocus bulbs I’m going to plant this fall.

I have all of this bulbs but not in my veggie garden, but I have other flowers from seed or plant in it.

Thanks for sharing some great insights 👍

Love the idea of planting multiple pulps for the cluster effect. Thanks Rick!

I tried this with store bought mint they just wither and die next day

My question runs with one above too. What's best for raised beds and 100 gallon grow bags in fall. I was planning on compost and leaves, then I got a newsletter from someone suggesting cover crop.

I struggle with Cherokee Purple, but I grow them every year because they'reso good. I got more this year than I ever have. I also like Chocolate Cherry and Sun Gold. Only problem I have with Sun Gold is that, by the time they reach their peak sweetness, the skins are tough.

Looking forward to the live! Any tips for getting radish to bulb up! I have been trying for 2 seasons and only had one success out of about 20 attempts. TY!

I'm in Michigan, can I plant in the fall? I would love to do some potatoes this fall.

Thank you Rick this link is blue and works.

so these two indregents is the mixing soil for a starter plant? No bone meal or potting mix?

Which is better to cover garden for winter..... planting covercrop or covering soil with compost, mulch , leaves etc.

I do chit in Spring, but will not in Fall. Hope I get good results.

Kale, Skip.

This is very interesting! It seems like a no-brainer to put these on while thinning, but this year my thinning took place over a few months since it takes multiple days at a couple hours each day to thin my apple tree. Because of birds, I like the idea of using these on my peaches, too! It would be crazy to bag my plums (or apricots), though, as we get an insane amount of those on a good year. However, the birds love to sample a large amount of my peaches! Little busters!

Can we make plant with out eyes

Slowing down on watering or watering at all at this stage? Also do they have to be yellow? Mine just keep getting bigger but not changing colour. Not sure if they will make it. In Southern BC Thanks

Thanks for sharing! Great video!

I bought peas in a 1lb bag at southern states it says on the bag to wear gloves when planting it has captain on them don't eat them or feed them to animals can you explain this it doesn't make sense

I had a tree fall in my backyard about two weeks ago and I had moved my container garden away from the fence about three or four days before. The tree fell on my portable greenhouse and I was able to empty it up with pots and other gardening things. I took the greenhouse apart and was able to use the cover for another greenhouse that needed a new cover,. Meanwhile I have a friend of the family to chop down the tree and removed it from my backyard for around $250.00 . Sorry to hear about your disaster with the hoop house and you were able to save what you could with the produce.

Oh my gosh. Never waste the sweet potato leaves . You can eat them. Cook them just like you would collards or kale!
