Forgot to start your garden? The procrastinator's garden plan!

[@kevinlt143]

Ooh, a video about procrastinating. I'll add that to my "watch later" list 😆

[@Silverstreamhomecrafts]

I literally did that too 😂

[@DawnRegan]

This is such a great plan for people who are unsure of where to place things. So detailed. I just wanted to add that marigolds are an excellent thing to tuck in the garden. So beneficial.

[@bronlynbennett3371]

I love you drawing out the beds! I’m such a visual learner. Thank you so much!!❤ #newbie

[@Blossomandbranch]

I am too, haha! Welcome! ❤️

[@Car-jy8pw]

I over-plan. I buy way too many seeds. I start them a little too early. And then I completely run out of energy mid season because I planted too much.

[@Blossomandbranch]

The burnout is real!!!

[@barbaravanerp4598]

I procrastinate on purpose because I’m in zone 4b. I drooled over every single KZbin video but…I’m holding strong (damn it)

[@llllllllllilillii]

You are a godsend!

[@mevsm1]

Thanks so much, you helped me enormously.

[@megrafferty5832]

Thank you❤ I have procrastinated 😢 I have started some seeds and working on tomatoes tonight!

[@lbatemon1158]

The "overwhelmed" factor is so real!! I started gardening last summer. It was my first attempt ever, and my watermelons got some sort of rot and we only got a few potatoes. None of my other seeds grew. Still not sure why. But everything else was in containers. So I've been trying to break up the clay so more things can go straight into the ground.

[@HowdIEvenGetHere]

This was really inspiring! Procrastinators unite

[@NicoleLevit_]

These planning videos are SO useful... Thank you! I wish I found them earlier. Figuring out how many plants I can fit in my space was so overwhelming and I lost some plants due to not planting them for too long.

[@Blossomandbranch]

You are so welcome! It took me many years to learn spacing, still working on it!

Welcome! 🥰

Hello Brianna, may I ask what state you live in… I am seeing you in this fabulous video with your toque, and wanted to say, same. I live in Montreal, Canada which has experienced 3 consecutive years of slow spring, where we end up a month behind our usual dates, more or less. I fully expect another snow event before we are out of it, just because the wind is so, so cold and it smells like snow out there. And winds from the south east which can drive you mad. Imagine the Santa Anas, but cold, blowing over the glaciers. I wanted to say how valuable I found this video. Seasoned growers and farmers bend to the whims to the weather. Those of us just starting out panic when it looks like last frost dates may be delayed, or things are otherwise so cold and close to freezing that seedlings are not doing well, and maintaining greenhouse conditions is just crazy. Fry during the day, freeze at night. Your video is very reassuring and I am sure has helped many of your viewers to hold the course and persevere with their garden plans, even if many people have moved to Plan B or even Plan C to make things work this year. You are very talented. Thank you for your very considerable contribution to the gardening world. 🇨🇦

[@Blossomandbranch]

We are in Colorado!! We go from 85 degrees F last week to snow and 25 F today! 😂🥰 hang in there, cold weather friend!!

[@jimkingsland1645]

Aw Bree, You are the last person I would ever imagine procrastinating in any way. Love your planning -always in impeccable detail. Chock full of tips, even mentioning varieties. Magic beans yay! You’re trying to make me a vegetable gardener for sure! I’m saving this one! Thank you ❤

[@Blossomandbranch]

Ha! You’d be surprised 😂! The gray thing about those beans is you can also use the vines in centerpieces and they’re really pretty! 🥰

[@anuwarrier]

Just stumbled across this video. I'm not a procrastinator in general but ill health has forced me to put thoughts of my garden beds to the side. This is so helpful! Thank you (and besides, you just cheered me up immensely, just with your grin).

[@SithLordBishop]

Every time i go to plant my cool wethers beds are covered in snow :D :D Im not trying to slack. Glad you are in colorado in a close zone to me! so nice to follow someone that knows the local climate.

[@RevAcres01]

Great help thank you in the process of developing my first garden bed. Love the 4x8 garden plans continue to show more examples.

[@GiraffeGreens]

I love that you plan the whole garden out step by step with a diagram. It is so much easier to follow along at home.

[@G4zzzzz]

Good timing, I was just lamenting that it was too late to start seed tomatoes, glad to know it isn't. Great sample of garden plan. thank you.

[@marypalmer2088]

You are an Angel! I have been sitting around thinking how it's to late to have a garden this year and here you are, ready to help. Thank you so much, I'm off to start some tomato seeds.

[@mistygeller3193]

I love it!! I spend the winter in Florida, then head back to northern lower Michigan toward the end of April. I am zone 5. Sooo when I get home I have a lot of work to do to prepare the yard for whatever I intend to grow. It’s sooo good to know that there are things that I can direct sow and also have some time to start certain things from seed indoors! I absolutely appreciate all of the information that you make time to share 😊Thank you so very much Bri!!

[@brandyjaques6865]

Nice to finally find a gardener here in my zone! Thanks so much for your help, this is something I was really struggling with. I’m trying my hand at square foot gardening again, and am just overwhelmed at what to put in my 2.5’x 3.5’ raised beds (house is on the East of these 2 beds,on the 3.5 ft side, so no morning sun) and 2’x10’new in ground bed, (fence on the South 10” side). I have seedlings I’ve grown for everything in this video you mentioned except cucumbers, and also lots of Pak choi, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and lots of pepper plants as well. I also plan to do my bush squash and winter squash in containers, as well as watermelons and cantaloupes in containers or in ground in other flower beds. Any suggestions for placement on these? Oh, I also have a 2’x3’ raised garden bed as well. I will be watching your other videos now! Thanks for any help, I loved your video!

[@thisismelissalang]

Yay! So glad I came across your channel. I just recently moved to CO and this grow zone/climate is completely new to me. Thank you for the great content. Please keep these gardening vids coming!! :) Happy spring

[@janaimaughan3599]

I think I’m going to suggest this to my girls for their individual garden boxes. They will each be getting their own 8x4 box this spring (we just built 24 so I have lots of space to fill…). I have many varieties of all these plants so they could individualize that way. They want to sell at our very tiny, local farmers market and I feel like we could have a really good variety using this plan. I also have plenty of time to start some peppers from seed so we could sub out some of the onions or potatoes and have a little salsa garden component.

[@myrrhidian3166]

I love all of your garden plan videos! Your choices and placement of plants is very thoughtful. For me, shallots or green onions might be a good substitute for bulbing onions, which I personally struggle to grow to a good size. As far as flowers go, I grow buckwheat in my veggie beds. It's pretty, attracts pollinators, grows really quickly, and I find that the root system is very small so it both doesn't fights with plants around it for nutrients, and is easily pulled out even in harder soils once it's done flowering. I am always happy to see it self seed :)

[@FaithBoundFamilyAdventures]

THANK YOU so much for this!! Just used this plan and mentioned it in my latest video! It has helped so much. Love your channel by the way 💛

Aw that’s so fun!! Is it on your channel? I’ll go look!

This was sooo helpful, Bree! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@joslac5018]

Thank you.

[@suzannejoyteune]

thanks Bree. this is my first time planting a garden and I am feeling overwhelmed. but I've been watching your videos and made a bunch of starts with soil blocks and used your recipe. it was hard to find wool pellets, so I ordered some, but then I potted up with a different recipe using the coconut coir and something that the garden center said I could use instead of green sand because they didn't have it. learning as I go! I'm getting ready to put them outside in the soil but I don't have any raised beds or anything.

[@havefaithinthegardener5939]

Awesome plan! Thank you so much. How tall are your cattle panels that you use for your tomatoes? I’m afraid my tomatoes will overgrow a cattle panel.

[@MsJessLynnG]

Thank you so much for this video!!!

[@nevergivingup1]

wow. so helpful!!!! thank you!!

[@allakhovrina1]

Hello from Toronto! Lots of degree variation this spring here, from +28 one week to +10 the following week. I started my garden in 2021. I am hesitant about installing permanent tomatoes support because of importance of the crop rotation. Do you do crop rotation, and how do you feel about it? Do you have any videos on this topic? Thanks ❤

[@kathrynnykamp1941]

Do you have success with cucumbers near tomatoes? I never do, and most advice I've read says to keep them apart. I wish I could grow zucchini...vine borers don't want me to have any, though!

[@llllllllllilillii]

procrastination is my first name.

[@SithLordBishop]

We tried to grow zuc and cuc in the same bed once and I think they crossed they came out like a very weird mix.

[@Blossomandbranch]

They will only cross if you save the seeds. It doesn’t happen while they are growing. :-)

[@planetjames9282]

Hey, I love your channel! Just a quick question, someone once told me you shouldn't plant potatoes and tomatoes next to each other because it will result in green potatoes and your tomatoes will struggle? If it's not that would be amazing since it's a pain to plan them so far apart. Thanks again for your awesome content!!

[@Blossomandbranch]

That’s false! Green potatoes happen when they’re exposed to sun. Cover them up with dirt. :) laidbackgardener.blog/2020/08/20/garden-myth-dont-plant-tomatoes-and-potatoes-together/?amp=1

[@planetjames9282]

Ah that's sooo great to know thanks so much !!

[@chelsiepratt3654]

What if you create your raised bed with this plan but instead of south on the left side it’s west?

[@Blossomandbranch]

Just move the trellis to the northernmost side of the bed

[@PolishAngel96]

Whoops I already put bean seeds in the ground 😳

[@shaylaholbrook4059]

Okay, sove I've read to not put potatoes with tomatoes but you are obviously doing it. So it's actually okay?

[@Blossomandbranch]

Yes, it’s fine. ;) lots of the “rules” on coplanting are made up! Laidback Gardener has a good article on it :)

[@shaylaholbrook4059]

@@Blossomandbranch Thank you so much! I'll go look into that. I'm still very new to gardening and trying to figure out what is actually true and what isn't.

Why did the potato cross the road? Because it was actually a chicken!
