Today is all about planting the summer garden. The sweet potatoes go into the ground, which for us is a sure sign that the hot weather is here and summer is official! I plant sweet bell peppers and hot peppers. Jalapeno is my favorite but this year I also try shishito and sugar rush peach. I plant a dozens of basil plants. Five different varieties fill my gardens. Genovese basil which is a standard culinary basil for making a variety of dishes, including pesto. Red basil, lemon basil, Thai Basil, and Tulsi basil. Tulsi Basil is my favorite because of it's beauty, aroma and medicinal uses. As I harvest my cabbage and broccoli I reflect on how grateful I am for such a fruitful harvest in my first year garden. I give tips on how to grow successful cabbage and broccoli as well as other brassicas.

Sunflowers make me so happy. I think it’s awesome that you are sharing the joy with your neighborhood. ❤🌻

[@JulieFilter]

I love the friendships you have. What a blessing to have a friend come over and just help get the garden going and then hang out for hours through dinner and such. Such a gift. Hard as ever to find friends who “get it.”

[@rvenable8958]

I dry my broccoli leaves and use them in soups, even broccoli cheddar soup. I even use them in stir frys and hashes when they're young.

[@vahlla78]

That’s an awesome friend right there. Gardening is SO MUCH FUN! ❤

The best!

when using the drill auger put it in reverse to remove from dirt and you will have a clean hole

I did.🥰

Good morning BRI and ÀLL,. Excellent and EXCITING to garden with family and friends. Love FROM MICHIGAN GREAT LAKES STATE 🛐✝️🀄

[@serenitysealed485]

Thank you. Your reply was timely for me. I purchased a drill auger to dig post holes for anchoring support posts for my raised beds. Your tip is very helpful.

[@daisygurl3601]

Also, hold it with both hands or get a handle for it so that you don’t wrench your wrist.

[@serenitysealed485]

@@daisygurl3601 the auger I purchased is an 8 inch, 40volt battery operated one. I am hiring a friend to handle ir for me. It weighs 70 lbs and is beyond my weight limit, but the 2 of us together can handle it. It has handle bars on two parallel sides. My friend is a geologist who has worked with some heavy equipment in the oil fields. A dear friend and a brilliant woman. We are helping each other.

[@ilenesatchell5445]

Squash plants can climb up a trellis for super easy harvesting. They look pretty on trellises at every stage, and it is amazing to see how well the plants hold their produce no matter how heavy it gets. My daughter weaves the vines as they grow up the trellis, so blossoms and eventually squash appear on both sides. She uses them as a decorative garden feature.

[@Brifromscratch]

Crook neck squash and black beauty zucchini are bushy rather than growing on vines. But there are many types of vining squash for sure!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@BrifromscratchI actually watched a video of a guy who trellised his zucchini by cutting off the leaves as the squash plant grew and he harvested the squash. He said it helped with squash bugs as well to get the plant up off the ground. I thought that was interesting.

Your smiles and excitement in your garden has inspired me to plant flowers, tomatoes and bell peppers this year in pots! Thank you Bri!! From Montgomery al ❤😂😊

[@sarahrichardson8238]

Your garden is looking so beautiful. You mentioned that y'all don't eat much okra, but you've also mentioned loving all the freeze dried snacks. So I wanted to offer a suggestion. I slice my okra into rounds and freeze dry, then I'll spritz the dry okra with a little oil and add seasoning of choice (I really like Cajun seasoning). It makes a nice tasty, crunchy snack!

A busy day !! The small gardener’s are the sweetest!! You are doing a wonderful job Bri ‼️‼️

[@psalms125selah]

Broccoli leaves are delicious as cooked greens, don't throw them away you would be surprised how good they are, even de-stalked and cut up small and added to salads! My Grandma taught me that, because she grew up during the depression, but I am glad she did, because otherwise I would have missed out on this delicious green! Cooked with Bacon grease or butter, It to me taste like a cross between collard, cabbage, and broccoli!

[@justuskirwa6857]

Hi Bri. Good job transforming that space.

Bri, There is NOTHING more beautiful than the sweet aroma of Holy (Tulsi) Basil. It was when I was recovering from covid I got in Jan '21 and in the fall while planting the fall garden, that I realized I had my smell back. not even a.Rose.smells as sweet.

[@glendaruff125]

You are going to have one huge garden

[@irili100]

@Bri From Scratch Hi dear Bri. A great tip for planting plants, especially sweet potatoes, to increase the chances of the sweet potato cuttings succeeding in the soil, it is advisable to put them in a jar of water the day before planting, so that they absorb the water and the cells of the plant are full of water. According to my experience, there is no problem watering immediately after planting, even when it is very hot, on the contrary, it cools the soil around the plants and increases their chances of success. I live in a very hot area most of the year with a short winter and water is the key to success.

[@annaking9213]

Word of warning on the Mexican sunflowers, they get big and self seed. But they are amazing for the pollinators.

[@janw491]

Your garden is fantastic. It’s colder up here in Canada and plants are slower

[@ann2155]

I plant all my peppers and my tomatoes with an auger. Super quick. You better put two hands on that drill or you’re gonna twist your wrist. Oops looks like you found that out. Lol 🥰I plant my peppers deeper than you did yours. And I’ve never had an issue with them. Also, I have clay soil. With good compost on the top. There are tons of minerals in that clay soil. I also pinch them. Pinching the center stem creates more branches from the side. Also creating a much more sturdy branch like stem. Two years ago I had so many peppers I didn’t grow any last year. And I plant them deep and I pinch them. It’s been a successful method for me.

[@tristinchristenson6349]

You have to try making basil tea and drinking coffee it iced! Its screams summer and its so refreshing.
