In this video I cover how to plant vegetable plants in raised beds. There is a lot to learn when it comes to gardening and I am so excited to show you some very important tips that I have learned over the years.
Hi!
My name is Justin and I have my managed my family's business (S&K Greenhouse) for the last 10 years! It is a local garden center in Shelby, NC that my family started around 25 years ago.
We have a strong desire to discuss and teach gardening to the online community and welcome anyone who wants to learn. Though we have been involved in the plant world for decades we have found that there is always something to learn when it comes to gardening.
Whether you are a master gardener or just starting out this channel is for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our videos!

"...and I'm outta breath" even your positivity has limits 😆 Great video!

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Same in NY with the weather In fact we had frost a few days ago ‼️ I leave my pepers up until October, some of them turn from green to orange. I seen a video on taking the pepper plant in the house for the winter, you got to prune it and put it where it can get 6 hours of sun . Then next spring, plant back outside

[@melindaroth5796]

Oh WOW you are so full of joy. Makes everyone want to garden. FATHER GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER IN JESUS NAME 🙏 🙌

Hey Justin. It's fun watching a Garden Center Man plant his garden. soooooo fast. But then I am 66 but I got my Garden almost done. Just have tomatoes and peppers and that's it. I enjoyed the video. Message in the garden soil......Classic you! Thanks for sharing my friend! Cheers.

[@paulwetzel3.14]

MUCHO NACHO 4 LYF!! I have been growing them for the last 7 or 8 years, and they are by far the best variety of jalapeno. I love the heat and the flavor. I always end up with lots of jars of pickled mucho nachos with carrots and onions that I have to give away to friends. They all appreciate the extra heat of the mucho nacho.

[@edhammond8709]

Thanks for your help always watch

[@jimmiller6269]

I am so happy I found this channel. Your videos are the right combination of information and entertainment. Too many content creators drone on an unnecessary amount of time. I get a lot out of your videos and will eventually get around to watching them all. Keep up the great work and if I ever make it down that way I will definitely be stopping by the greenhouse.

[@RealALSK]

Thank you so much! Come see us!

It’s been a cool spring in NC. I still have broccoli and cabbage growing. So I Inter planted my peppers and squash since I knew they would take some time to get going. Love your videos!

Glad I found your channel, I’m here in Waxhaw NC and haven’t had a large garden since my kidos were growing up( 30 yrs ago) Planning my pre retirement garden from scratch. You have such a great voice and disposition. I’m excited for the staking up squash.

[@marisolverdejo1733]

So fun to see your videos!!!!😅

[@karigraham8168]

I love to grow green beans. However, the Japanese beetles flock to the great bean vines, so haven’t grown for a couple of years… 😢

[@LouCook4531]

I’m surprised you don’t have a drip system for beds, unless I’m just not seeing it. I really enjoy your videos 😋

[@RealALSK]

[@tabames7353]

Another great video!!

[@beachmom501]

You always have cool intros😊

[@OriginalLacytoo]

Was able to start my beds in April (Alabama zone 7) and only covered the tomatoes once for frost. My beds are truly raised because they’re a couple feet off the ground. Easier to maintain without bending over, but I planted tomatoes close to the side for staking. We’ll see how it goes. Also got some of the Marconi peppers on your advice..

[@terrystevens8890]

You need to start selling t-shirts like you have on. I’d buy it .!!

LOVE your videos, and your greenhouse! Customer for years! Would you be willing to do a Greenstalk video? I planted one this year (with some of your starters) and -oh my- it’s doing amazing!

[@vickymerriman6455]

I love Bio Tone and I LOVE your videos even more! Very educational and wishing I lived closer to the nursery (zone 8B, South Georgia) But I do have two questions. I am battling army worms. They are AWFUL this year! The entire yard is eat up with them! So my questions are 1) do you treat preventatively for pests or as needed and 2) do you have any recommendations for these pesky army worms?

[@joelhurst5]

Love your work. Thank you I’m in the Charlotte area, where do you get your oak stakes?

[@beachmom501]

Beach mom’s grandson again another thing is you should make a Banana pepper video

[@travistaylor6110]

That must be a different variety of zucchini than I've seen. I planted zucchini last year but it didn't have that white webbing-looking color running through the leaves. It was a solid green all the way through.

[@lidip8700]

NEW SUBSCRIBER here: Can you please cover the cross pollination factor of not planting the same type of squash close together (including a list, because the internet has mixed lists), and talk about cross pollination of peppers as well. I planted 3 types of peppers in my raised bed a few yrs back & wow, did I have some funky tasting peppers!! How far apart do we need to plant squash or peppers so this doesn't happen....and not waste valuable space?? Can this also happen with tomatoes? Thanks!!

[@yellowdog762jb]

How long does the wood on your raised beds last? I built my raised beds from landscaping timbers and it seems like they rot in 4 or 5 years. I have a lot of raised beds, so an economical approach is important. I'm not a fan of beds made with metal sides or cinder blocks. I'm NW of Houston, zone 9b, 8a. We get about 60 inches of rain a year, but sometimes a lot of it comes all at once. Last summer we went about 35 days in July-August with no rain. Also, is there a reason that you make your beds so tall? I could see doing it if you put a ledge on the edge so you could sit on it. I double dig the ground under my beds, and then build them up about 12 inches. My blueberries are in slightly taller beds, and I added some depth to the ones that I grow potatoes and sweet potatoes in. Still, beds about a foot high seem tall enough to me for most veggies, but the height of your beds has me wondering if I'm overlooking something?

[@gwen27405]
