I totally relate! You have a lot of gardening area, so I can only imagine how much work it takes to keep up well with everything you have planted 👊🏻🌻👊🏻

[@vickiewallace2130]

Gosh Jill you have so much growing!!

[@dollyperry3020]

I think your garden looks very good. I'd really like an update on the health of your back!

[@melissaschloneger9902]

Love your perspective. Keepin it real

[@lindysmallwood2039]

Had trouble with Blythe too on my romas. They are done so pulling those plants. I couldn’t figure out what was going on with my peppers. Well caught it on my outside camera. It’s a rat. I was shocked. Now putting out traps. Thank you for this very video.

Japanese beetles like my okra too! Interestingly I am finding a lot of squash bugs on my okra too so be sure to check for squash bug eggs underneath your okra leaves. I planted my okra from seed and they took a really long time to take off so I may try transplanting next year. Enjoyed the video, thank you! Also my tomatoes do really well under shade cloth when the UV index gets high.

Looks like a cabbage to me. That’s good too!

[@tbirdlouise]

I had similar issues and u have to say-cover crops-both warm and cool season have been a game changer for me. I don’t feel like space is being wasted, I don’t have to maintain, and I have less frustration overall

[@thebeginnersgarden]

I love cover crops, but so do the rabbits. I knew sowing that seed would be futile until we get our fence secured. :(

Keeping it real. Thanks.

I live in north central Ar. I have had a lot of luck using the soil food web with a lot of the problems you have been having. fungus for water retention and pathogens in the soil pest control. bacteria is the same.but you need a 50\50 mix of fungus to bacteria. woody compost for fungus regular compost for bacteria. i have no problems with any of the pests you mentioned, i had no problems with drought or heat. I keep a root in the ground are a deep mulch all the time never have bare soil. works in ground and raised bed. no sides pest, herb,fungus,or chemical fertilizer. works for me think it would work for you. GOD bless

[@meharris0925]

Please tell us about your tomato cages? They are so cute!

[@Truongthikimcuong92]

Hello ❤ Nice to meet you ❤️🥰

[@Vince-ml9gw]

Thanks for keeping it real. Love your content and information. Question: what variety of blueberries are you growing? They look amazing. Thank you for your hard work

[@junewrogg6137]

Bravo for what you do get done in your garden in Arkansas heat. I think it looks great!

[@Kitchenchef..]

Wow super nice garden 🪴 👍🏻stay connected friend ❤

[@GoodWoodWorks-le4cd]

Great garden. Do you have a video on set up with your water hoses in raised beds? I dont call that resting. It looks Very busy.

[@floydbertagnolli944]

I live near San Francisco California. My pumpkins are fully orange. Doesn’t look like they’re getting any bigger. I want to use them for Halloween. Should I leave them connected to the vine or harvest and store them somewhere?

[@1jw298]

Whoa!! 😳 those sunflowers are huge! What kind of fertilizer do you use on your garden?

[@emkn1479]

Some varieties of sunflowers naturally get that tall. Maybe she can share the name.

[@thebeginnersgarden]

It's the Mammoth Sunflower that's supposed to get that tall. But to answer your question, I didn't use any fertilizer. Just a new addition of compost at planting.

[@1jw298]

@@thebeginnersgarden you’ve done very well with everything you do there. Great work ethics!!

[@kristantaylor1087]

The squirrels in my yard love blueberries. So do the birds! I didn't have energy to cover them this year. I only have 2 bushes and was able to have a few snacks in the garden.
