Lay aside all the bad stuf I went trough and focus on the small beautiful things in life ,like keeping your garden like that ! I do have the space but it’s like a tropical rainforest now haha and needs some attention. Anyway I’ll stop mumbling going on , with almost a milion subscribers you probably will not see this post . Keep on the good work! I love ya Thanks 🙏🏻

Here’s my top tip. When you prune those tomato laterals in Spring and Summer don’t throw them away! Place in a glass of water near a window and 4 days later they will throw roots. Pot them up after 10 days and plant. Repeat with your new second crop of tomato plants. As your first tomato crops wither and die the new plants you raised will come into production. You will have tomatoes from Nov to the first frost in nth east Vic. (PS I start my seedlings in a el cheapo Aldi green house so they’re fruiting extra early.)

I multi sow for example with beets I grow three or four (or even five) in the same hole. As they grow they push out from each other and as soon as they're big enough I start harvesting a beet or two from each clump so early in the season I have baby beets (fresh pickled baby beets are utterly delicious) I leave the rest to grow a bit bigger, harvest again and so forth. By the end of the season I harvest the last remaining ones which are full size by this time. Multi sowing slows down growth so it extends the time and harvest right out. It also means that instead of being able to plant for example 12 beets in a bed I can triple (or more) the number I can grow at once in a bed. I use the same method for leeks, onions and many other veggies. It's a great way of growing a lot in my very limited space and having fresh produce to use over a longer period of time. I also sow carrots fairly thick and don't start thinning until they're just big enough to use meaning I have baby carrots at the start of the season and thin throughout each time getting larger ones until I reach the last lot that are mature. It creates a lot longer season and more produce to use earlier and over a longer period. Of course as you mentioned, success with this method as well is all about good soil preparation in the beginning.

I generally dig up 1/3 or half of the soil in fall, then dig in leaves, kitchen scraps and dead plants, Since our winter isn’t made for growing pretty much anything beside moss and frost resistant crops. During those months it can slowly decompose and become one with the native soil. Then 2 months before planting and sowing (February) I cover the soil in coffeeground and ash. Then in April and may I cover the soil with mulch and plant the plants in. No fertilizers needed. But it won’t work with the old fountain flower bed, since soil holds water, water expands when frozen, so I need to get the soil out and store it. So that will be mixed with other stuff or already decomposed stuff. Or I’ll add fresh soil, ash, coffeegrounds, compost and manure

A lot of people here would say thats too late to start growing most veggies, but its just as you say, if you get bad results, its still better than no results, so why wait? Give it a try, and learn for next time round right? Turns out you can harvest potatoes as late as christmas here if you get lucky with the frosts. And some lettuce is happy enough to be planted as late as October! To anyone else looking to start gardening now, do a bit of research theres almost always something worth growing.

Every season is a new adventure.

It was painful to watch how the plants were struggling in the het and how quickly the soil got dry. Everything changed the moment the plants started touching each other. The started growing like crazy. I joked and said plants need friends to grow well. This is not something often taught by the garden experts, so I am glad to see you recommend growing plants close together. Just look at how healthy your plants are so close together.

Mark, you're great. Most gardener videos focus on everything except the "veggie gap". Here in East Texas in August, it's pretty hot and so easy to sit in the air conditioning and wonder why the veggies are dying. Thanks for the tips. Tweeking my gardening process always improves the success rate. By the way, I've started a permaculture garden at the beginning of 2020, and since it's a developing process, I've let the bugs do their thing. Leaf-legged bugs are have been at my tomatoes all season, yet I managed to harvest and "put up" a fair share. The tomatoes are still setting fruit, but really suffering from heat and bugs. I just didn't get around to pest control, what with all the preparation to establish the soil biology, planning, and gathering some perenials for pollinators. It's all coming along slowly. I really appreciate all the advice you give. Thank you, so much! Maybe next year I can battle the bugs, or nature will find a way.

When you've got heaps of veggies ready to harvest and there's still gaps where there is space in the soil, just plant more crops there. When your other crops die back, just plant new ones in their place and one day your garden bed should be totally overgrown with vegetables! Then you just keep picking those vegetables big and small, until next season you have to grow more plants there. This way you can also save seeds if some of the plants develop seeds so then you don't have to keep buying seeds every single year. Taking the root systems out of food scraps is a great idea too.

You can extend the growing cycle by planting seeds every 4 to 6 weeks. For instance. I have watched you (Mark) planting Snow Peas (one of our fav's). Half the amount of seeds you want to grow into two lots. Plant the first lot, but space them out a little longer when planting, then 6 weeks later plant the second lot of seeds in the gaps. Of course we are like you Mark. We plant about 4 packets worth willy nilly and then 6 weeks later plant another 4 packets, just infront of the exisiting lot. Of course we usually save seed where and when we can, but sometimes that is not possible, which happens from time to time.

Alaska (Wasilla) new subscriber and I have a gorgeous garden here. Much of what you grow I cannot - but you have some great suggestions that I can take on too. Beautiful vids, thank you!

We just got permission from our landlord to build raised beds, can't wait to see what we can grow! We have one built, need soil for it and then we'll be offff and running! I know I want to plant peas and corn together, maybe yardlong beans, too. I'm looking at what will survive over the winter here in California. The region of CA where I am may be similar in temperatures to where you are, though perhaps less humid. I think kale and chard will be good overwinter veggies to grow. We'll see what we can do! :)

Pea shoots are tasty too. Just remove extra shoots off while they are tender. Great in stir fries.it’s mid spring here. My tomatoes are flowering in the garden. I just planted more seeds inside to grow up and transplant when the determinant varieties come out. Then we will have more tomatoes before fall. We don’t get a frost till late November. I will also replant more bush beans, daikon radish, chard, Chinese cabbages , potatoes, and other spring crops in early September to get a late fall crop or harvest over winter. If it frosts hard, I cover with Argo cloth to keep it going.
