Thank you so much for doing this video! How inspiring you are! For the first time I have started a garden this year 2021 spring. I have a question that I am hoping you or someone in the comment section, could help me with? My question is we have pine trees in the yard. Is this going to be an issue for seeds that I am going to plant? If so what kind of seeds would work best with pine trees near the garden? I would like to thank those who addressed my question in advance. Thank you for your advice and taking your time. 🌱

[@AnneofAllTrades]

@@amyelizabeth8432 that shouldn't be an issue! I use all kinds of pine needles, leaves, etc as mulch in my garden.

We're right next door in NC and enjoy collards, okra and kale up to frost, which sometimes is into Dec. Numerous years we have crops that make it into spring so your're in for a real treat on the choices and varieties and experimentation. Welcome to the south! DD

[@jefferybarron929]

Yes, Many things love the summer sun... Tomatoes, Bush Beans, Cucumbers and such... I never thought you could grow "Cool weather" crops (Broccoli, Kale & cabbages) because it can get so super hot in the summer here in Middle Tennessee.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

By the time the heat would bother them, it should be cool enough to enjoy them through the fall and early winter :)

[@wesleyofficer1237]

Hey! just wanted to give you a verbal pat on the back ☺ this is the first time I've gotten a good view of where and how the garden is situated, and I gotta say it looks great, and that was an awesome use of that oddly shaped space! I love and agree with you on the fulfilling beauty of gardening for charity, (which has caused a flood of ideas already for me this year) and PICKLING EVERYTHING IS ABSOLUTELY ADDICTIVE! (I also detest the nasty sweet kind😝) we are continually updating our garden, havesting,replanting, and swapping crops out as the summer goes on, so this was a good topic.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Thanks Wesley! We miss you guys, would love to have you over sometime. And... hunting season is so soon!

[@brirockinit]

Wow I have not thought this way for gardening before, lol. I'm going to run out there this evening and plant some more seeds!

[@kbjerke]

My weeds have been TOTALLY unmanageable during this really HOT growing season in Middle Ontario!! I never even considered using the whipper snipper to control them, and that leaving the root system would be beneficial. THANK you!! Subscribed!!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Glad to hear it!

[@wiseandfunfox]

Landscape fabric between rows, will save you so much time, and effort!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

As I mentioned in the video, I want the weeds, so long as they aren’t competing with my plants. They bring nutrients to the topsoil level, they keep moisture levels higher in the soil reducing the need for watering exponentially, and trimming them/burning them with the weed torch adds nutrient dense, green manure to the garden soil and naturally occurring biochar right where I want it. The only kind of landscape fabric that would actually keep these weeds at bay would be thick, heavy plastic which would drastically reduce the amount of permeable soil in the garden to make the most of already sparse summer rains, would force the purchase of said plastic, and would also mean I was bringing a product that takes multiple decades to decompose, while also producing a potential choking hazard to birds and livestock. I’ll take 10 mins every few weeks to rake some grass out of my garden bed ;)

[@wiseandfunfox]

@@AnneofAllTrades The only downside is that the grass will inevitably encroach on your garden beds and get thicker and thicker with each year, You could also get a ton of free cardboard and lay that down, which would retain moisture and also keep down the weeds. Any type of covering will retain more moisture in the soil than just regular lawn grass. In the end you do what you think is best, just sharing my experience. I love your videos!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I hear ya, just different strokes for different folks. I’ve been thinking about putting some cardboard in some of the worse spots, and likely will, but as long as it stays managed, it really can help more than hurt.

Anne, make yourself some plant spacing boards. Use 2x4's, 30" long (typical row width), drill & peg the edge of the 2x4's at various spacings... i.e. every 3 inches, 6 inches, 1 foot, etc. Boards can be used by pressing down into the planting bed making holes, use them in both directions to lay out a block (for corn, for example). If you want to make furrows, use the other unpegged side of a board. These boards will last for years. 🙂

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Great idea!

[@janetwalker3541]

Yeah, my parents and neighbors use to do this when I was growing up in the 50's and 60's!

In Minnesota you can still plant Chard, Kale, Bush Beans, Peas, Radish, and lettuce. And of course garlic and onion sets. Too late for Cukes and probably too late for Cabbage and broccoli unless you get really lucky! Also too late for Zucchini. And Okra? We don't even think of that! :)

[@AnneofAllTrades]

If you're planning a fall/ winter garden, even in MN you should actually still have plenty of time for brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, etc) Zucchini should also be fine. Okra likes it hot though, I tried for years to grow it in Seattle but was never successful.

Anne, your patch looks amazing after just 6 months! Your hard work is clearly paying off! Question, do you raise any of those animals for meat?
