You are destroying blueberry bushes and killing joy of foraging for other hikers with that comb and .. bucket!! You should be ashamed. Easy as that. And it is actually destroying the bushes guaranteed. There are any left where I am

Awesome. Looks great, thanks for sharing 👌🏾 😎 👍🏾

Looking really good despite the circumstances! Consider trying 'Red Mountain' onions (I got mine from Territorial Seeds) if you want a purple/red that works in Montana. I have had great luck with them in the Flathead Valley

The house garden is looking pretty good, hopefully you can figure out the market garden spaces and get them producing for next year. Thanks for the tour.

Nice video. I grew zinnias for the first time this year. The blooms were very small compared to yours. Can you give advice on how you feed them, or how what amendments you use in your soil?

Hello! I just got back from a 16 day trip from Alaska and my tomato plants were doing some of these things. My neighbor watered them but I don’t think she had time to do it twice a day. Does this mean I should just get back to watering it daily?

I really want to try Cherokee purple next growing season. Thank you for this informative video.

Those green beans look amazing! Would you guys consider selling some?

Would you be willing to share your Swiss Chard recipe with us? I never know what do do with mine, lol

Do you guys mind the kuma label right on the glass? That seems to be a poor placement.

How is the heat on the big Jim variety? I have been trying to grow the Mirasol variety but aren’t as big as I want.

Well, that was interesting. I had no idea about saving the zinnia seeds. I didn’t even know the process. Thank you so much. I live in zone 9A Palm Coast and they are perennials for us.

Generally, 400 grammes of Sulphur for 10 square meters reduces de pH level by one point. From 8 you'll reach 7, for instance. Now, it also depends of what kind of soil you have: quantity of clay, sand etc... Focus on crops which need a high pH to grow in a first time, then work on the rest of the soil. Amending with sulphur can be done after the summer, so you'll now where you are before the next season starts. I must say I'm a bit surprised you embarked on such a big project without knowing anything about your soil. But never mind that, it's always time to learn. Use the weeds for compost. If the land I see around you is yours, then you won't miss any. It will protect your soil and strongly reduce the weeds between the plants you grow.

Thanks for sharing this video with us.

Try bringing your camera a little closer when showing your produce and your voice is echoeie..

The nightshade family, potatoes, tomatoes and peppers need acid soil. Try growing peas, beans, brassica broccoli cauliflower which like lime, ie. High pH.

Curiosity and experiment, you have learned so much! Thank you for sharing! I think you will have potatoes and so much knowledge on soil! Gotta love that challenge of it all! 👍

The strawberries look like they have chlorosis which we struggle with here (along with high pH) in SE Idaho too. Just curious if you got your iron levels when you did the soil test?

A byproduct of the oil and gas industry is sulfur, maybe you can find a local source of it?

Hopefully you get a few pounds of potatoes out of your patch.

This season I decided to spruce my house up and just bought a few packs of seeds of what looked like nice plants (turned out to be zinnias) to fill a bunch of new pots i never used, now let me tell you, these are anything BUT low maintenance, so people really need to stop saying this because it's far from the truth. It seems that they get way too high and top-heavy for their own good, any storms will snap branches off. It's claimed they love the sun all day?, NOT TRUE!!!, all sun will absolutely cook them and you'll come home to find them limped over laying on the ground with brown and yellow leaves, now let's talk about the leaf mildew YES THEY WILL GET POWDERY WHITE MILDEW THAT HAS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF OR YOUR PLANT WILL CROAK!!! I planted a load of these without knowing anything except seeds+dirt+Sun+ water= flowers, well lemme tell ya, I've been babysitting these things like a toddler. They have to be watered everyday in the summer and if it's really hot out, expect to come home from work to find them limped over, on the ground and maybe some will even crack off and break. I've had to buy a few wire trellis and tons of wire-ties to keep them up, I had to make a mixture of baking soda-white vinegar-water and a surfactant to spray on the mold constantly. Yes, they are really nice and hardy plants that give endless bouquets, so much so that I've been giving them to neighbors, but you better be retired and home all day because they need constant attention so you better be prepared to marry these things......I take that back, I have been able to ignore them for a couple of days here and there, except for watering daily, but when I check them over??, well I'll have mildew in a lot of places, brown and dying leaves and limp branches, yeah, you're better off with perennial hedges to spruce up your property, not very colorful but nearly maintenance free😢

Sounds like your in a similar climate to me zone 3. I have tested many rootstocks Your not gonna be happy with dwarf trèes in zone 3. You need a vigours root stock. Summer prune to keep trees your desired height.

Thank you for explaining this. I grew zinnias for the first time this spring and was just thinking about how I was going to save the seeds and up popped your video. Great timing! 😊👍

Very nice

Great advice! Nice to see you again and i hope the garden is doing ok...

Good video! I pulled all my seeds last year, and haven't had time to plant. Do you think it's too late to plant from seed?

How I envy that crop 😅 I planted garlic and it didn't actually grow even after a year. They're alive but no bulbs. The garlic stalks are wispy and thin. It's probably the soil quality. Ginger on the other hand is super easy to grow for me.

This is good to know. I've been wondering if we needed some special soap or cleaning tools

Baby working 🚼 ❤❤❤👍👍

I'm in se Montana. I've had decent luck growing watermelon in a small space by only letting the lead vine grow, pruning off all suckers, and then letting only one watermelon grow on each plant. Once I'm sure I've gotten a fruit I prune the vine tip so all the energy goes to the fruit. This also greatly reduces the space needed. Last year I got eight small to medium watermelons all grown in one 3x6 raised bed. The varieties included Malali, Desert King, Early Moonbeam, and Leelanau Sweetglo.

I do well in Billings, growing Mini Love watermelons

Using the cattle panels is a really good idea.

The crops look great!

Charles Dowding grows melons in his greenhouse by growing them vertically.

Ok seriously what did you put to get them that tall in 5 weeks

Great job, keep up the good work!!!

So disheartening. Sorry, friends. Hopefully some of it will be salvageable.

I know your boron is high, but it's possible you also have persistent herbicide poisoning. In particular aminopyralids or things like Graze On. Was that field ever used for pasture, or to grow any type of hay? If so, they may have sprayed, it can remain in the soil for up to 10 years, has a very long half-life. The symptoms are curling like what you showed, and doesn't happen initially but after they are established. May or may not be part of your issue, but might be worth looking into. Corn is not affected (since it's a monocot/grass), so you could test by growing corn.

You have a lot of weed pressure because you keep tilling. Tillage activates weed seeds. Look into no till methods and using natural mulch.

Frost June 19th? That's crazy!

maybe make three ten minute segments next time?

Hello, Where have you ordered all the equipment? Thanks,

That mid June frost was such a bummer. My peppers were so shocked that I don't really think I'll get any harvest this year. Here in Kalispell we got hail that shredded up the tomato, cucumber etc leaves and then we got a couple of days of hot sun. Yikes! Those poor plants! Now it is mid July and after lots of rain and now hot hot weather in the 90's the tomatoes and cucumbers are recovering and starting to look pretty good. This was not the year to try okra. It's pathetic. Peppers are trying but are still pathetic. I guess you take what you can get. Cole plants look good. We'll see how they manage the heat. I hope things recover for you and you keep the faith! Next year will be better...

Top marks for perseverance!

When my mom had 'weed pressure' in her big garden she put her little slaves to work fixing the problem. :)

Hot out there today. Nice job on the garden, i hope it turns out better than your tomato patch.

What a beautiful display of home grown veggies!

Your on the right track, irrigation and amendments to increase drainage. Sulfur to drop ph, but stick away from organics because they will increase water retention vs leaching. Hang in there
