Full Garden Tour of My Swedish Kitchen Garden - May 2021

Let me take you on a walk through my garden! May is probably my favorite time of the year. So much is just waiting to happen. I love the anticipation! I hope this garden tour inspires you to go outside and enjoy your own garden too. Or perhaps start growing on the patio or balcony?
Make sure to subscribe to my channel for more helpful tips on growing vegetables and flowers at home. I have plenty of videos about gardening and landscaping, for example about how to create a cottage garden and build your own greenhouse on my channel.
Or, read my garden blog at sarabackmo.com where I tell you all about my Swedish kitchen garden and how to become self-sufficient in vegetables. I go through everything from mulching to starting new beds, raised bed gardening, organic fertilizer, hydroponic gardening and much more!

Girl I'm a swedish descendant gardener in the United States. What a pleasure to meet you

[@riverunner9978]

I’ll be serving beer in the garden this evening....slug fest! My cosmos are almost ready for pinching out! Exciting! I love surrounding myself with 🌸

[@Skillnadens]

That´s lovely! Thank you! 😊

[@michaelguillemette5013]

I love your enthusiasm and courage to try new things! I also always end up growing more than I need, then put out plants on the side of the road for people to take for free. It has become something people count on I think.

[@Skillnadens]

Ohh, that sound so nice! What a lovely thing to do! You are probably the reason for som actually growing veggies at all. I like that a lot! 💚

[@angelabuckley29]

I love peonies too! They are gorgeous and smell delightful! And they last longer then roses when cut. 💗

[@Skillnadens]

I am so much looking forward to the peonies to bloom. They really are so beautiful! 💚

Your pak choi looks perfect! I’ve just found your videos and look forward to watching more. I would love to move to Sweden (from California) and I love gardening so this video makes me so happy!

[@DixieGirl9876]

It's lovely to see your beautiful garden, thanks for sharing. I too love peonies, I have several from my grandmother's garden. Slugs are a big problem here in the southern US too. We've also had a cooler than norm spring, which has our garden a bit behind. Happy gardening!

[@Skillnadens]

Happy gardening to you aswell! And thank you for watching! 😊🌸

[@amyfrink3275]

I enjoyed the tour of your garden,, you have a great growing area and utilise the space very well ,, I started off growing things to eat and at the time I thought you can’t eat flowers and shrubs so what’s the point ? ,, Boy have I changed ,, I have an allotment now dedicated to cut flowers ,, dahlia , gladioli, roses, snapdragon, sweetpeas, hyssop, feverfew, chrysanthemums, delphinium, alliums,, cornflowers, zinnias, cosmos, salvia, lillies, achillea,, can’t wait for the blooms ,, thanks again for taking the time to make these videos ,, fabulous 🌺

[@deegibson6156]

Thank you for showing your poly tunnels! I enjoy seeing your beautiful spinaches and cabbages. My poor husband is trying not to hear me suggest we convert our old dog kennel into a poly structure. Shhhh! I usually can win.

[@Skillnadens]

You can do it! I know the feeling! 😊😊😊

[@alanhalford9707]

I love the way you garden , very relaxed and very practical also the necessity of growing replacement plants ,looking forward to June tour love to you and family 😘👨‍🌾

[@Skillnadens]

Thank you so much 😊

[@aldas3831]

Hi Sara! I loved your gardens. You are really a hard worker and love what you do. Great to try sweet potatoes. You can eat sweet potato shoots and leaves as greens, but you have to always cook them. As they are poisonous when fresh. Cheers!

[@Skillnadens]

Great idea!! Take care!😊

[@robindavis672]

I eat them in smoothies with no problem. I’ve read that others do the same. I’m in the southern U.S.

[@kimwrye9068]

Such a beautiful place.

Very glad to stop by and visit with you! Your garden is very well arranged and organized. Our garden in Gander Newfoundland and Labrador Canada is coming together!

[@nanbeman1292]

Though I have nowhere near the space you have (your energy is impressive) I do love my garden and the veggies we get. Thanks for your wonderful videos.

[@Skillnadens]

Thanks so much 😊 I am so happy to hear that you love your garden and your veggies. The size of your garden doesn´t really matter, what matters is that you enjoy your garden you´ve got! 💚

[@annecanty1227]

Video so lovely thanks. Could do with some Dill!Watching from Ireland and I think our season is 3/4 weeks behind. Cold wet spring let's hope we catch up!

[@Skillnadens]

Thank you for watching! I hope your dill will start growing very soon. Take care! 😊😊😊

[@makrisagro8379]

Thank you.

You're welcome!

[@bristolveggiebeds5310]

Love your DIY greenhouse, I'm building one at the moment!

[@Skillnadens]

That is so great to hear! Best of luck! 😊

[@PegsGarden]

Hello Sara, your garden is looking lovely, I love Chinese broccoli, it really is so good, never grew it but got some from a local farmer here , I need to try and get some seeds to grow in the Fall time, here in Central Florida it is close to 90 degrees f today and very humid, I am thankful that I still have some tomatoes growing and my herbs, have a wonderful weekend 💕🌱🌸🌼

[@Skillnadens]

Thanks so much! That sounds lovely! I wash you a wonderful weekend too! 🌸😊

[@peterwhite9261]

Sarah, you are amazing. Such a fabulous variety of flowers and veggies. Those yellow tulips looked like peonies! I so look forward to June vlog and the progress.I can no longer garden like that but I did manage alot of hanging baskets and container hostas and planters. I have reported and given away alot of ferns and Japanese Maple seedlings that grow in my river rock garden with underlay below it. I have also done some recycling turning s wooden potatoe and onion box into a lovely planter. When I learn how to send pics on here I will forward some as I am very proud that I can still accomplish this much. Having great meighbours in a very busy city is a huge bonus for me as well. I have gotten slot of positive comments which are healing to say the least. Stay safe, be well.

[@Skillnadens]

Ohhh that sound absolutely wonderful! That is such a brilliant idea to make planters from recycled things. I would love to see you photos! Take care! 😊🌸🌿

[@janadelmann3091]

thank you Sara, really enjoy your vlog site...so natural and real life, I find it truly inspiring and love all your experiments too :) !! Was wondering if you can do a vlog about making your basil cakes (for freezing) you mentioned on your May garden tour ?

[@Skillnadens]

So glad you like it! Thanks for the tip! 😊

[@monikaschilling8943]

Dear Sara, your videos showed up in my youtube feed only recently and I enjoy them so much! I'm actually on my way of watching them all. Your gardens are so beautiful and your wintergardening method is a huge inspiration. I will definately try and do more of it myself. I noticed that you have a lot of chickweed -stellaria media-growing in your beds. Did you know that this is a delicious and very nutricious edible? It tastes a bit like young corn and even keeps on growing under the snow. I use it a lot in salads...Thank you for your beautiful work!

[@priyanthialwis8811]

I like your enormous courage ,amd the way of explain ing things, A s a woman in a tropical country sri lanka i am so amazing your gardning preparations ,good luck may have long life sara

[@Skillnadens]

Thank you so much! All the best to you!😊🥰

[@hungariancottageadventure77]

Lovely tour, will you keep the flowers in the pallet beds? I share your love of peonies one if mine flowered after 5 years and another bare root I planted last year flowered this month, love them, your polytunnel is magical, like another world 😍you deserve your bench 😁🌹

[@Skillnadens]

I keep them both in pallet beds and in beds on the ground. Tanks for watching! Take lots of care! 😊

[@veronicamatsson151]

Tack tack tack Kära Sara.............jag fick dagens gapskratt med hög igenkänning då du nämnde din mans problem att skymta barnen bakom blomstrena.

[@Skillnadens]

Hahaha! Så kul, att du förstår vad jag menar! 😊😊😊

[@shirleyhunt6084]

At 15:00 sounds like you said & closed caption says "this is what is left of the wool'. Could you clarify, is the word wool like fabric? I super appreciate you saying how you cook each vegie. I know very little. You are helping me learn.

[@karenmerhalski9406]

Thank you so much Sara for showing us all of your beautiful gardens and Polly tunnel ones as well. I am so looking forward to see the June video! Your family is so lucky to have a wife and mother that can grow food that is so healthy and delicious!

[@Skillnadens]

Thank you so much! Have a great weekend!😊

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Oh Sarà, you have amazed me again! I guess I can either be intimidated by all you accomplish or be inspired. I love the tulips and spinach the most. I found out about tulips called ice cream tulips. They are so pretty, I want to grow some next year. Have you had that variety?

[@Skillnadens]

Hi there Cynthia! I really don´t want you to be intimidated, I hope you get inspired to do YOUR thing! 😊💚 I have heard of Ice cream tulips and I absolutely loooove them! Unfortunately they are sooooo exensive here. I might see if I can get hold of a few anyway. Thanks for the tip!

[@user-gn2xv8ur1k]

Мне нравится там у вас ,я тоже люблю работать в огороде.

Thanks for the info! So nice of you. All the best to you in Australia Karen!😊

[@user-gn2xv8ur1k]

Вы такая милая и хорошенькая но и заботливая.👍👏🙋🇷🇺❤️

[@christineann7620]

When you are starting the seeds in a mass sowing in the tray, how do you separate the seedlings to plant out without damaging them? I’ve seen lots of people starting seeds that way and I’d love to know more about how you then transplant them to the garden? Thank you:)

[@Skillnadens]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/np-ufHaCo9afors I show that in a video. Hope this one will help you! 💚 or this one even though it is tomatoes you will get an idea still....kzbin.info/www/bejne/o160q6eqgceJq7c

[@theallotmentkitchengarden3694]

Sorry I missed it! Something weird came up - had to talk to non emergency police! Hope can make the next one 🤞

This was actually not a live vlog so you haven´t missed anything! 😊😊😊I hope that everything got sorted out with the police. Take care!

Amazing garden! You mentioned soybean, can you tell me what variety you grow? I have tried without any success.

[@margaritas2036]

Hello, need advice on how to grow large spinach leaf ? And the question is - don't slugs live in beds under furrov? Greetings from Lithuania🇱🇹😚

[@Skillnadens]

I grow a lot of vegetables! And I grow in various places. On beds outdoors, in the polytunnel so that means that I still get vegetables even if there are slugs. I don't have any problems with slugs in the winter though. So perhaps that can inspire you to try to grow more, and in various places. And lest but not last, ofcourse I try to get rid of the slugs aswell. 😊

[@margaritas2036]

@@Skillnadens ok. Thank you. I will try next year. I have a small greenhouse. Happy harvest to you. 🥦🥕🍒🍓🍽👍💖🇱🇹

[@jeffreymoulton7882]

I heard leaving out an open can of beer and leaving it on its side will attract slugs and drown them.

[@kittykills5854]

To help keep slugs down set out shallow bowls with beer buy cheap they don't care.
