2 ideas to keep the little brassica worms off your plants are by planting Dill as a companion plant in your beds or cover your bed after you plant with a garden cover netting and slightly bury it the ground. It keeps the moths(butterflies) from laying their eggs on your plants. Just a suggestion. Love your videos

I’ve never been successful planting broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage in the spring. So I decided to just wait and grow them in my fall garden. I am seeding them right now and will plant them out in august. I got a pretty decent harvest last year. They stayed in the garden and I used as needed right up til November when I harvested everything that was left. The little seedlings didn’t mind the warm weather and by the time heads were forming, the weather was cooling off.

You do inspire me so much though. I love watching everything you do. I never realised just how competent I was untill I saw you working away with energy for 3. Oh, how wonderful it was to be young! It was second nature being such a wizz- although I never had a garden and yours is huge! One never thought about it, one just worked like a busy bee and loved every minute of it. I never had a dishwasher back in the days - my kitchen definatly wasn't so well stocked like yours. But I did used to make everything myself, plus pickels, jams, preserves etc. You name it, I did it! Good on you love - it suits you perfectly and you have a good man and familly who appreciates all you do. Stay so happy - love you chatting away as you work! 💕

Its odd, but Ive realized I much prefer the old garden compared to this one. I love to see the soil in the beds and little plants just coming up wherever you planted your seeds. Also the ground with the woodchips and just the general feel of the garden. This new garden, although logically its much more efficient, it has a cold look to it. I guess I wont be using that black weed cloth in my beds. I do love watching your videos, and I'm learning a good bit. ❤

I lost most my strawberries in our grow tower think we got a bug and seem be to better after spraying diamatreous earth on them. We didn't get enough variety of plants planted this year this our Texas heat came on now have Heat indexes of 100 to 120 degree's. Hoping all my tomatoe plants can whether this heat! I have so many tomatoes on the plants I want to can and turn into ketchup and other sauces from tomatoes. Nice harvest you got. If you thicken strawberries like pie filling it would work on your dessert, I may give this a try as strawberry is my husbands favorite.

Your broccoli and cauliflower will grow bigger if you plant it earlier. The heat is causing it. I’m in northern Wisconsin and we plant cold crops (peas, cauliflower, broccoli, radishes, ect) when the ground can be worked… so like mid march to April 1st… I cover them with a floating row cover to protect against snow. They do fine, even when we get 7” of snow 😂 The cover also prevents cabbage moth worms. Our neighbors are Amish… I just follow what they do and suggest! They say snow peas got their name because they taste better after a good snow 😅

I keep telling him if you had a homemade strawberry Rhubarb Pie, you'd love it. Alas I waste my time trying to get him to try it, but I shouldn't have to not have what I have missed for so long. I'm not sure where I have my recipe now. We've been living on our sailboat for just shy of 30 years & now we're preparing it to be sold. We're up there in our years & the work is harder on us as we've both had orthopedic surgeries that has weakened our bodies a bit. I'm hoping to one day soon be able to grow some produce to enjoy & I'm a bit excited to have a full kitchen to create more of my own recipes again. 🙆‍♀️ I'm praying for our Holy Almighty Messiah to guide us to a suitable place where we can live the rest of our lives out in a retirement type of community, & one that may already have an established community produce garden, would be awesome 🙆‍♀️😊.

@Robyn M Robert and I are also up in years. I'm 69, and he's 70. Bobby has had 2 hip replacement surgeries. We both have terrible back issues. So we've slowed down quite a bit. Unfortunately, grandma made her pie without a recipe. She was pretty much a by guess and by gosh cook. My mom is 92 and doesn't remember either. Sometimes, I purchase a Strawberry srhubarb pie from Marie Callanders restaurant. If I can locate some fresh rhubarb, I'm going to recipe search. I'm a home cook who reads the recipes and then will combine elements from each recipe. It's so much fun for me. Sending prayers for you and your husband. Enjoy this next chapter of your life.

He stopped cooking once he realized I can cook 🤭, I've done all the cooking since. I'm a bit younger than you, and I've lived a full life & I've done a lot of things in my lifetime. I miss being able to do the things I used to be able to do just 3 years ago. Now everything we do causes us pain somewhere. We thank our Holy Almighty Messiah for all our blessings & we're so very thankful we can still do some of the things we need to do. My hubby had his right hip done years ago- a pressed fit titanium & leg extension (we went to Colorado & Dr. Kirk Kindsfater did his hip, it took 50 minutes, he's awesome, sadly, now he needs his left one done. I had double wrist surgeries done by Dr. Duncan during the last 2 weeks we were there, I had nerve ganglions due to all the work I've done, he told me to be careful because it can reoccur 🥺 it took me 4.5 months to get full range back, but I did it). I was born with active Acute Intermittent Hepatic Porphyria, so I have to manage it as best as I can on my own (I don't want anything injected) I am now studying & learning everything I can about herbs, roots, and making my own herbal medicines as pure as possible. I'm reading "The Modern Herbal Dispensatory" A medicine making guide & it is loaded with everything & then some, one of the best purchases I've made 😊❣ I recently made 1 quart of homemade Elderberry Immune Boosting Juice & from that I've made 2 batches of jumbo gummies (4 tsp.ea) & a large batch of Elderberry Syrup & it's amazingly good. I did learn that the American Elderberry can be eaten & used for tinctures which is what I'll be making next using Ever Clear grain alcohol due to the higher alcohol content & less amount of water. Most stores only offer 80 proof, so I was glad I found Ever Clear. I don't have any tincture made at this point but I hope to have some made soon. I learned it has a long shelf life due to the high alcohol content. I learned a lot from my friends who were older women that lived to be in their 90s, they're dearly missed. Sorry, I'm rambling again. You & I are very blessed to have had wonderful grandmother's that were good cooks and wonderful role models for us. May our Holy Almighty Messiah bless us & guide us in all our endeavors. Amen 🙌❣ God bless you & all the women in our lives that were good examples for us to learn from. 💞 🥰 🙌❣

A little off topic, but I've seen you use that lemon juicer tool in a few of your videos, and I finally bought something similar. I've always done the very old fashioned way of juicing lemons with a lot of wrist action over that cone shaped thing, and I've always done a bag of lemons at time, which is hard work, messy and leaves me with an aching wrist. I was very sick a couple of weeks ago and needed more lemon juice to add to my hot water and honey, and couldn't face the old juicing method. So I finally upgraded to one similar to yours and OMG, what a pleasure! Thanks so much for the inspiration ❤

I checked your Amazon store front and didn’t see them there either. Please!! I want some of those containers!! Lol thank you for the lovely videos! 💜

Maybe adding mulch on top of black weed barrier would help keep it from getting to hot and burning the bottom leaves of the plants. That barrier draws heat

Becky, I am in zone 8 as well and have MUCH better luck growing them in the fall garden. I start the seeds in august and put them out as late in September as I can. Sometimes here in sept it’s still 90*+

Thanks for this info. I’m in a zone6/7, but it’s really hot in the summer here. Do you start the seeds in the house? Or in the shade? It’s so hot here in August I don’t think it would work for me to do it in the garden.
