Hey I’m in Ohio also

I love love your videos!! Especially as a zone 6 fellow gardener!! Please keep sharing your videos I love trying your favorites and watching your experiment. And love watching your harvests vids! Love you girl keep up the amazing work!

It’s so nice watching a fellow Ohio gardener and knowing I’m not the only one groaning about the weather and new pests! I didn’t have the time to install insect netting yet and just noticed today that my broccoli and cauliflower are chewed up. I should have put the netting higher up on my list of garden chores I guess! I planted 500 tulips last fall just spread around the garden. When I cut the foliage back two weeks ago, I came across so many garden millipede. Kinda grossed me out with how many were under the foliage.😂 Last year I had volunteer mint take over two rows in my garden. Thankfully black plastic and some hand pulling of roots took care of that lesson. This year I’ve had thistle come from the woods and go crazy in two rows of the garden. I took care of a lot of it by laying down more cardboard and wood chips, along with vinegar. In one compost row I put some landscape fabric and planted melons so hopefully those plants will die back from no sunlight! I would say thistle is going to be my biggest pain this year. Well until the squash bugs come haha.

I’ve been using them in MO for the past couple of years. It’s unfortunately getting hotter every year. 🥵☀️🌎

I’m from a a place were we break heat records good ole west Texas it’s rough🥲

Is 3 year old horse manure good as a mulch

hat is to expensive!use grass it all works

How do you control your comfrey? I planted seeds in a pot last year. I’m concerned about putting it in the ground.

The excess solar radiation, is due to two factors: 1) our weakened protective magnetosphere around the Earth. 2) the presence of our sister solar system, with its red dwarf star/ sun, (plus, its 7-8 mainly MASSIVE planets, their moons, and their associated asteroid/ debris fields). We are now getting radiation from TWO suns, and THAT is the main reason for "climate change", and the now-burning/ scalding (plants AND people/ animals, coral reefs, etc.), huge, WHITE sun, (which USED TO BE yellow, and MUCH smaller in the sky). Please go to/ watch a) "An Understanding of the Skies With Samuel Hofman" - an older series, for more info./ sky pics Also, b) "Nibiru Follwers Anonymous". Look for her/ Rebecca's short, explanatory vids. There ARE reasons for the changes in our climate and weather, but our gov'ts are NOT telling us the Truth, and the Carbon Tax is a money-grab and a "stinky red herring", to misdirect our attention. PS - I've done 8K+ hours of research on this, AND taken 2-3 thousand sky pics myself, seeking to prove or DISprove the existence of this 2nd system for myself. I caught excellent MANY pics of "things in the sky that shouldn't BE there", and then I suffered several crashed devices - losing me all pics but one. This stuff is, alas, REAL... Cheers!

For voles, mice and monks I found that here in Stevens County, WA I was so fed up that I did my Cousin's cure from the farms by setting up the 5 gal bucket drowning pool to cruel perfection when set by main food sources Ie garbage area. Next day I removed it with 14 of all 3 kinds Deceased and didn't put it back. This is in a residential backed up by 14 wooded acres with owls, hawks and coyotes very present. 3 kinds bein rats, voles monks.

My sister had her baby 4 weeks early so i had to neglect my green onion plant for a week and a half but i came back and some of it was still alive! So i replanted the living bit with some new seeds and a few days later and its still hanging in there. And today i just saw my basil has sprouted! I went from having no hope to all the hope in the world!

Here in Europe we only have a lot of rain so far..... and slugs.......😢😬

Yes! I've been using it more and more. Sometimes I use row cover for both insects and shade.

I think I might need to break down and get some :/. Any recommendations? Hoping to find some that don’t break down into micro plastics.

The garden is very beautiful❤️

Thank you for your video. What can I use in replacement of leaf mold?

I like buckwheat from little rascals never tried it but I will hear soon after watching this.

We just had 5” of rain week before, then Saturday and Monday 2” more. We are Finally out of the drought and we have also had 84*. It will cool off the rest of week after more rain tomorrow. 🙄when it rains it pours and man did it ever. I’m concerned it may dry up again, but La Niña pattern is returning so maybe not.

I garden in central illinois, zone 5b/6a. I have never dealt with army worms on onions and cabbage before, but I am this year, too.

I thought I'd hardened off my plants, but 3. Tomato and many peppers did seem to get damaged when we got the heat here in Columbus, Ohio I've now have tomato plants almost up to my belt, and I'm almost 6 ft. Thanks for your helpful information

So here's a question that no one can answer. Why is it that I can only fertilize my soil based plants every 2 weeks or so, but I can fertilize my hydroponic plants every second of every day? It takes what it needs. My hydroponic plants do so much better than soil. Like what is it that causes nutrients burn in soil plants but not hydroponic plants?

Same excessive sun here in Central Texas

I'm already using shade cloth on my tomatoes and cucumbers. 90+° here in Florida and no rain.

Me too, shade cloth this year 😊

I'm in Ohio as well, in Akron, and noticing the same things. Tons of slugs, i've replanted zinnias and sunflowers like 3 times now because they keep getting killed. never had this much of a slug issue before. I had to start using beer traps AND sluggo, still seeing them everywhere! especially on my strawberries, which are also very early. . Strange new pests, like striped beetles on my tomatillos. I left some of the dahlia tubers in the ground over the winter on accident, and they are all coming back; along with my gladiolas. soo many pill bugs, but that might be the from the wood chips i added to our walkways. And strangely very few cabbage moths! usually the cabbage moths pretty much decimate my brassicas by May. Haven't found one yet!

Hello beautiful, fellow Ohioan! Dayton here, love your channel! 💕

Make a butterfly garden too. Monarchs need some love too.

Thanks for very interesting video. Very detailed. However, I don’t know if this also applies to container gardening since the nutrients can be drained out when watering or when it rains.

The sun is so dang powerful.

Make sure to set aside some area for natural local plants

Nature is always on the move! Stay on your toes; it makes it easier to pivot.

SLUGGO To the rescue!

I'm new here in Toledo Ohio but I love growing and I find your videos very educative. Am just planting now in my garden.

A quick method of dealing with heavy clay soil is to install high raised beds about 3-4 feet high. These will compress with time. I purchase topsoil that is well sifted with 50% compost. The sifting reduces the amount of heavy clay clods. Then I add 75% pure compost to that. The total composition of the raised bed soil is ~80% compost. Voila. You have great soil that you can easily plant into. After I put in plants I mulch with hardwood shredded mulch. In a couple years that mulch turns into great soil.

This is super helpful thankksss

That is the coolest Broad Fork I have ever seen! That thing must have a multiplication factor of ten plus! That is using leverage to one's benefit.

Thank you for the excellent info. I purchased a 25 pound bag because of cucumber beetles showed up in my garden after 50 years of organic gardening here. This year I consider myself armed. I’ve never encountered such a pestilence ! I’m hopeful!

You are so wonderful on your gardening ideas! I love your channel!

I made a structure and used bug netting this year for my cabbages, and something inside the enclosure ate my 30+ cabbage seedings. 😟

Did anyone ever here try roasting harvested peanuts without letting them dry out first... I.e. Straight from harvest and cleaning them to roasting them?

Lady you earned bragging rights!

We had headed to get an eclipse pizza from Pizza Hut darn them only the drive thew was opened so we went elsewhere . They suck anyway!

I like tomahooks for my cukes and toms. Even easier than this method.

How do you get multiple ears per stalk? I only get one.

I am probably the laziest, most inattentive gardener on the planet. Most years I haven't even tied up my tomatoes at all. They just go crazy all over the ground. We never really have any disease problems and, while we may not always get the biggest crop, we get enough for six of us. Half the time I don't even actually _plant_ tomatoes. They just volunteer from the year before. The only trouble with that is that I foolishly planted romas and cherry tomatoes and they seem to have cross-bred into some weird mutant half-way between the two and then just mostly turned into cherries. And then they just... Didn't come back much at all the next year. Definitely NOT what I wanted. Oops. We're in NEOH and we've got terribly clay, too. I'm finding that the best thing for that is LOTS of grass clippings. I'll even cut the neighbor's yards just to get the grass clippings. I'm cheap. I'm growing indeterminates and I really like the cow panel trellis. I'll probably just cut down some of the underbrush in the local woods and build one out of that, though. Did I mention that I'm cheap? LOL

Great videos. So much information. The only thing I wish they had, were more cutaways. Or cover video that refers to your topic. I know there's a lot in them already but you can't have too much.

I think it's too too hot in Arizona

the deer would love the carrot tops when i thin....so i'm go to get out there as soon as the rain stops. Here in TN and I'm hoping my carrots grow this year! thanks, very informative!!! And I need to feed them too...oh and grass mulch...wow, we have an acre and this will be great! Very helpful info girlie :)

so snipping them keeps the carrot from growing? I'm late to the thinning game! so I'm leery...maybe i'll pull a few to see what's going on, cuz the bed is crowded. and i like that you showed how to replant the carrot...who knew?! thanks!!!

Do you water after fertilizering?
