Gardening 101~~The Basics

[@minimalistfarmer9110]

This is probably the very best type of video. I recommend Deep South Homestead keep this up. It is so helpful and needed for the younger generations. Thank you so much!!

[@DannaGesellchen]

My husband has no experience in gardening and has been searching and searching for someone to teach in a practical, straightforward, easy to understand way. You hit all his basic questions in one video. Thank you, sir.

[@jannahuntamed3422]

I watched your porch time on who will teach us the old ways, when everyone is gone. And made me open my eyes. So now I am going through your teachings and taking notes to add it to my binders. My Garden binder has your 2 manuals in it. I hope you make more so I can add them. If not I will just continue my note writing. Thank you so much for teaching us Danny and Wanda. We have truly been Blessed by God to have such great teachers. Have a blessed day y'all. ❤

[@dorothykelley1881]

Thank you, Danny, for all you do for so many people...

[@OkieRob]

That about covers it, nothing to it once you figure it all out. My biggest problem is time. During weather extremes it's hard to do it the way it needs done and still have time to get to the other things that also need done.

[@tahimiabreu4284]

This video it literal GOLD!!!

[@sajmt1414]

Thank you for this video. I've been gardening for about 10 yeas, but have never been over all successful. I do live in the south, zone 7. This video really helps explain a lot of things I need to do differently. Thank you for this series. I'll be watching this several times and writing down all your great knowledge.

[@No14me23]

Me too!

[@cajungardener6044]

This series is just what I need! Look forward to the next. Thanks so much for doing this Danny!

[@bjchris8979]

Thank you! for doing this series. This will help me with my garden.

[@HomesteadHippie]

THANK YOU so much! This is exactly what I've needed. I remember my grandfather telling me to plant potatoes on Good Friday. And plant root crops in the dark of the moon. But that was in Indiana. I'm in Arizona now. So I'm learning all over. My grandfather had already figured out where to put the garden and the ph. Now you've taught me where to find out those things that I missed! Thank you again.

[@cajunbelle1784]

Love this new series. I have been gardening for a few years, raised with my parents having a big garden. But it's always great to learn something new.

[@tabethapacion7137]

I agree there's no such thing as a perfect gardener. Every Gardener know how old or young there is always improvement in the life of a gardener

[@tfrank1326]

We live in the Blackland Prarie area of Texas and just yesterday I was walking in my garden and nearly fell in a crack that had opened up. It's been so dry here. This time of year with the heavy clay soil we have you get these giant cracks that run all over. We have been working on amending the soil and building on top of it but it is a long process. Enjoyed the video.

[@jamesmanley9521]

Thank you, this was a very informative Video, as a seasoned garner I was still able to learn new things. Please continue to teach.

[@universalgardener333]

Thank you for sharing all of this knowledge with us! Much appreciated!

[@No14me23]

I am very grateful for this information. Thank you.

[@laurarowland7926]

Before the weather started to change I have been getting seeds from Burpee that are drought resistant..that way I don't loose my product from a hot,dry summer..we are in central va..our winter was not cold enough & I had flowers & herbs grow all winter!! That was real weird..thankyou for sharing with us👍🙏

[@AnnieFarmerFarm]

My garden is on the south East! Morning sun is wonderful in the morning~! I was really excited when you said south east! This was so helpful! Thanks for the garden class~!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Annie Farmer I have found it to be the best placement for a garden. Glad yours is in that direction. Good luck this year with yours.

[@silenttexan5357]

Thanks Danny and Wanda.

[@ConnieDAgostino]

Thank you Danny for this helpful video. I especially like the idea of charting a plant growth. I keep a chart & a calendar for everything I do... but for some reason not the garden. I will definitely start a plant growth chart today. I'll just have to use an approximate date of when I started for my summer garden. Once again, thank you! 👍 Many blessings to you and Wanda! 💕

[@mamafizzo]

Thank you I have been learning a lot from you and Wanda. Now with a little luck maybe I can do this next year. I did attempt this year and was proud of my tiny little patch until one night something ate everything.

[@thymetosow4972]

Very excited about this series! I have been gardening for years, but I am always learning something new from others that share my passion. You described my clay soil to a tee. It has been years of work in progress conditioning my soil with grit and other amendments for successful planting and production. My advice for beginning gardeners is not to get discouraged. There will be many trials and errors beyond our control, but never give up. KNOW YOUR PLANTING ZONE and which vegetables and fruits are recommended by your state/local AG department. LSU AG has a great website where I can print out recommended varieties, date/schedules for planting specific vegetables and when to fertilize. Thank you, Danny!

[@marycretella133]

Thanks Danny this was GREAT information.... I have so many questions... I'm sure ill get them in time... while watching! Happy Trails.....

[@samfinn8397]

Very helpful.

[@ladycat661]

This is wonderful Mr.Danny Thank you God Bless

[@cyndicomeaux2986]

I need this series of videos. Thanks Danny.

[@michellekulas282]

Thank you for this! I do only container gardening at the moment but I have a place in my yard that I could use for a garden. We are in Florida and have sandy soil. This is all great information. :)

[@garybartek]

Hi. I. Have you covered seed collection previously? If not, Could you cover this as a segment on the Why do it, Selection, Collection, Techniques, Storage and all the other elements involved with seed collection. Thank you. Your videos are GREAT!

[@marykarns70]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this new video series. It is much-needed education for me and my family. I look forward to the next video.

[@tn_heartsoul3871]

Excellent‼️ Thank you Danny❣️

[@amberblack4752]

I’m SO excited for this series!!!!!

[@329crys]

Thank you Danny I will be checking my soil with the soil test. Some of our cucumbers are growing up and over the trellis, others not so much and are turning yellow. Have since cut the bottom leaves off the bottom of our tomato plants too, after watching your video on tomatoes. Plenty of bells and jalapeños in this south Texas heat. Zone 8 I have learned so much from yall, and for that I thank you. 😊

[@glendabrekke5475]

looking forward to next video. Thank you

[@KahlestEnoch]

Thanks for the information Danny it has been very helpful.

[@micheller6991]

Thank you SO much for this series Danny! Please keep them coming 👍

[@chip6515]

Very cool, thanks! The direction of the morning sun vs afternoon/evening stuff is very interesting!

[@breathe6529]

Wow! This was a very informative video. I am not a very successful gardener, mainly because I am just winging it most of the time because I feel overwhelmed when I try to learn about gardening. I learned a lot from this video and look forward to more to come. I may be a successful gardener yet!

[@teresa-tuckerbutler137]

Y' all are some awesome people, thank you for your tips, wish I lived near y'all so that I could help ya work the gardens. God Bless y'all!!~

[@omasthoughts47]

Great information as usual. I had much better production from my tomatoes by pruning those lower leaves as I learned from your videos. My ph is too alkaline and I always have to check and amend before I start gardening every year and can still only get to 7 from 7.2.

[@newdayfarm9463]

Love this new series. Our soil is loamy to claycrete 😉depending on what part of the property your standing on. So my raised bed garden will be over the more clayey area and in ground gardening will be in the loamy areas. Look forward to the next series video!

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

Yeah, I learned pretty quick that city water was no good for a garden. Worse garden I ever had was watered with city water. Didn't have much choice at the time. 😕

[@annettecastellanosguillen9491]

Thank you so much I want to learn more

[@StringfieldRidgeFarm]

Great info! we know some things but not nearly half enough! Thanks for the basic info that we all need to know or be refreshed on. We have really good soil here. But there are certain things that won’t grow good here and we need to figure out exactly why. Like watermelon and cantaloupe.

[@patsanzone8019]

Excellent video Danny !

[@americaneden3090]

Such valuable information THANK U🤗💚 I think i may have a garden of stunted peppers, i got sick and slowed down at the wrong time, now most of my peppers wont flower. The ones that did flower have hardly any leaves and are very short. The tall leafy ones have no flowers.

[@charmainemontgomery582]

I planted garlic cloves in containers in October & nothing is coming up yet in July. I’m in PA. I got the hard neck for this area. Don’t know what I did wrong.

[@rebelrose4934]

I was just over here going yeah my concrete ground...lol. Its hard to hoe. However, I am not working to much on it, cause hopefully this will be my last garden here and we move to our permanent homestead. Help us pray we find the right place!!!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Jessica Pace we will be praying you find the right place. Thanks

[@kansasterri5977]

Danny is right: add organic matter to your garden when you have clay soil. I put my lawn clippings on mine and the vegetables flourish. Grass and grain do not mind a clay soil but the vegetables do unless you add organic matter.

[@itstheblessing]

Danny , I know you don't have extra time and you have worked this in for us . I thank you so much for this series and appreciate it a great deal . Will you be doing it once a week and on the same day ? I value your info thanks again for the help . Blessing's Linda

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

itstheblessing It will be when my schedule allows it we are so busy right now. Thanks

[@sharonblack7466]

Thank you for the great info

[@MimsysGarden]

Thank you!!!! I NEEDED this sooooo much!!!

[@janeheichel2014]

Thanks Danny I've learned over the years with my soil it's clay and sand something's grow better than others

[@SixteenChickens]

Thanks so much Danny! I hope that you will speak to fertilizers. For years we have not used a commercial fertilizer and have had very inadequate production. It seems like we would work and work and not have anything to show for it. I appreciate that you have no problem explaining that your plant has only so much time to reach a certain place or it won't produce. (I never knew that) We don't want to use chemicals on our garden but some well timed fertilizer along with our more natural additives may be what we need to reach our goals. Thanks for your honesty!Btw, we live in GA, on the line where the Piedmont meets the Plains, so we are very sandy as well.

[@kathleencarragher8194]

This is my problem too!

[@DeepSouthBama56]

Thanks Danny for this video, its a great start to your series. Now even though I have gardened for over 50 years you reminded me of important things to consider in planting, watering and keeping track of my soil. God Bless you and Wanda.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

Great video, You covered many things I have had to learn the hard way over the years.

[@pms1953]

I’m so happy that you are doing this. Great knowledge that you are sharing. Thank you

[@patskelton9015]

Thanks Danny, I needed this class.

[@scratchmadehomestead9343]

Yay! Need this! Thank you D1! This is what I have been waiting for! Tell me when,where,how! Give me what nurses call a “care plan”! So much to learn!✌🏻❤️ Finally a look into your garden calendar!

[@cindyvanisi5907]

Loved your watering information - how would you water if you were doing containers?

[@GinchyGirlCreatesAndGardens]

This is awesome information. especially regarding soil types etc. Thank you Danny ! really a great video !!

[@drugtrader3933]

very helpful. Thank you. God Bless

[@christiebetts4970]

Good morning.Thanks for this

[@Sheenasalesthriftytreasures]

Thank you so much, i think with the solar minimum I'm not sure if the way we are planted if its changed forever this is scary everything is growing so slow, tomatoes are still green. Thank you again

[@littleredhenl.7868]

Cuz It's Our Farm & Homestead our tomatoes are starting to turn. I planted volunteer Roma/San marzanoes. They look good..but it sure has been hot lately. We will see.

[@lockergr]

Would love to see this made a series! Are there any gardening books that you would highly recommend for beginners? I will be somewhere in the southeast as well.

[@3basketliving]

Man Danny....I agree with you but i'm finding that a lot of people look at clay as a sort of bad guy if you will. The importance of the clay that most don't seem to give credit to is that it's the clay that hold most of the nutrients within the soil. I suggest to people that they shouldn't be below 30 - 40% clay. I am about 90% clay right now and it's killing me with water retention but i do recognize the value and importance of it.

[@carriejoroark491]

I use the rain water off our roof. I do container gardening down my drive way. I use two liter bottles turned upside down with water in them. The planta sucks up the water by the robots when they need them. I Love your videos. Say hi to wanda. Thanks you for your time.

[@backtonature3657]

I'm fairly new to gardening and have been doing a lot of research. I am from AZ and recently bought 43 acres in Northern AZ., where we can have extreme cold and extreme hot. From what I can tell it is zone 7a/6b. I'm on the way to the Grand Canyon and am 6200'. I'm confused as to what type of plants will grow best here? Help? Advise? Thank you so much for sharing :)

[@warriorriver3612]

Is there a filtering system you would recommend for people with city water?

[@MalcolmSmall]

I planted some of those grape tomatoes about 5 yrs ago and they keep spreading so now I don't have to buy any of those type because they come up wild every yr. this yr I been pulling them like weed and they have taken over. have you ever had a garden plant get way and go wild?

[@rlportillo]

Malcolm Small I did the same thing...they are now the most hardy tomato I grow 👍

[@MichelleM0704]

Will you be selling any rattlesnake bean seeds?

[@gerrymarmee3054]

Love this!

[@angelmann8835]

Good info! Which pH meter do you use? Thanks

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Angel Mann Mine is many years old it dosent have a name on it. I just looked and all it says is made in the USA and PH analyzer across the top of it. I believe i bought it from a seed co not sure which one its been to many years ago. Thanks

[@annettecastellanosguillen9491]

I have rock soil

[@blissfulacresoffgridhomest2098]

Us too.In fact, our most recent video shows the 4 1/2 feet of natural cement we are dealing with.

[@jeannemiller306]

Thank you for the series it was really helpful I would like to learn more about the seed saving an agenys name of seeds

[@anisestar891]

Is the moon phases and planting real?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Janisse Infante yes very real. Thanks

[@faliciawindsor4477]

How do you find the genus name of a plant

[@rosejafari8917]

Falicia Windsor Hello, Try Wikapedia or Google serch.

[@faliciawindsor4477]

I know this may sound crazy. I just want to make sure I understand. So if I'm wanting to know the genus name for a Roma tomato then that's what I would search

[@lorip938]

Thanks for the info!!
