Making My Mom Proud

[@talesfromthebottle6314]

That plant hole spacing board is genius. There isn't an EC video I watch that I don't learn from 😁

[@Barrysautospares]

Lovely to see Mrs. EC on the channel!

[@jamesengland7461]

Welcome!

[@matteberry58]

Helping my Pawpaw plant, weed and harvest the vegetable garden was hard work but the time spent with him and other family members was a blessing. Shucking corn and shelling peas with my Granny was a real treat. Great video Scott. Keep up the great work!

OMG I didn't know you did gardening videos please do more I love the way you make videos, very insightful

[@broad_cat]

There's so much love and thoughtfulness in these videos, and I love the C.S. Lewis quotes we've been getting lately. Almost brings a tear to an eye how much deference is given to the humility of gardening. Like you said, a garden like that is a temporary thing, but appreciating those moments are what matters. Life is temporary too. Even if once in a while you've got to till it up because things didn't take. Take care, my internet father.

[@dutchy5406]

Such a beautiful view for that garden. So jealous of that!

[@farmlandon9893]

Love to see a garden update in a few months

[@mackfisher4487]

Lessons from "making my mom proud" video. 1. Square tomato stakes (if it's right concrete, its right for the garden) 2. make a E. Craftsm planter spacer 3. Growing plants is therapeutic (my thought, Start a Victory garden as prices are too high)

Next time you're on the east coast - Just passed by this place today and wanted to share it with the west coast Wadsworths. They have a roadfront stone wall that is currently being rebuild and a banner hangs from it saying "save this wall". It's hundreds of yards long & so cool: The Wadsworth Homestead is the only country manor estate in New York State that has been continually owned by the original family since 1804. Treasures that have been passed down over seven generations evoke the incredible story of over 200 years in this enchanting home overlooking the scenic Genesee River Valley. Whether you come for a guided ...

[@charleywalker2982]

Being a big time gardener myself, I really enjoy this little insight into your garden every year. More would be appreciated by me at least, not sure about everyone else 😊

Love to plant Carolina Golds in my garden!. Great Garden!!!

[@ourv9603]

WADz, I plant with a posthole digger. It makes the PERFECT sized hole. Just today, I planted 2 Star Jasmine plants along our back fence. !

[@claytonsadventures7607]

Gardening for me has become a great source of joy. It has also introduced me to a much older and much wiser community I otherwise would have never been a part of. When it feels like there is nothing left to go around I go in my back yard and feel a sense of abundance and I can say 'I did that.'

[@wickie2222]

Sir, You are Indeed doing His good work, Thank You and May you continue for manys a year yet.

[@BNOBLE.]

The compost was your best investment!!!! Best wishes on your harvest. We just plowed our garden under for the season in Florida and the tomatoes were great. Looking forward to starting our winter seeds soon.

[@diverdave4056]

4 years ago i decided to try to make it faster and easier to water my tomato plants ... I cut 5 gallon buckets in 1/2 and then cut the bottom out to make a 7 inch tall cylinder . I dug a hole deep enough to bury it 6 inches into the ground ... then put the plant in and fill it up 6 inches of dirt leaving one inch of bucket showing so that when I water , the water was staying inside and flowing down to the roots .

[@GWPHomestead]

My dad was equally meticulous about the spacing in his garden. Makes for a fine looking area!

[@itatane]

Thank you for the wonderful gardening video, Mr. Wadsworth. It really shows that, sometimes, the joy we get from the garden is the more to do with the remembrance of those who were dear to us, than just added foodstuffs. My grandfather was the master gardener of the family, in addition to being a Sawyer in NE Ohio and NW Pennsylvania for 50+ years. (He was also a small engine wizard, woodworker, tinkerer, and maker of hotcakes.) A great many channels (like you, Out of the Woods, and Hand Tool Rescue) are on my feed because of his influence. By the way, if you have purslane coming up in between your plants, let it grow. It's a delicious edible plant, as well as helping to shade the root systems nearby. P.S. Pepper plants can be overwintered in a basement, garage, or greenhouse (my 3 experimental bell peppers are now 2 years old), and Tomatoes can be overwintered after a fashion as well. Lamb's Quarter and Pigweed make good cooked greens too.

[@dubberkm7200]

There really is nothing like planting and tending a garden. As far back as I can remember I have great memories of being in the gardens of both sets of my grandparents and our own garden with my Mom, Dad and sisters. I was blessed with meeting a girl who became my wife and her family to did gardens. Unfortunately her Father had passed before I met her, but her Mother and I bonded over working her garden. Unfortunately we lost her a few years back but now my wife and I plant a garden together every year on what was her families land and it is great time spent together, both in the garden and in the kitchen making recipes and preserving our harvest every year. Every time I step foot in that garden it somehow feels as if all those family members are somehow there with us.

[@djscotty06]

EC form setting in the garden classic. And the video square or round pegs popped up in the link. Nice. 👍

[@roccoconte2960]

Great video , there's something about gardens and construction the go together well ,I do a large garden every year and love my construction work your garden looks great.

[@kennys9855]

Gardening always makes me think of my parents that are no longer with me. We put out a good sized garden when I was younger. It’s my thinking place, my place of joy, taking seeds and producing something you and others like. Some of my plants are like people I think, no matter how rough they are or slow to grow, give them and chance and you may be surprised at the end with both. And if the garden doesn’t work out, hopefully there is always next year. And the best part now is my granddaughter loves to come to my magical garden as she calls it, and will eat about anything in it, which is a surprise because she eats things that normally she wouldn’t.

[@rgbrown90]

you guys have alot of clever tools and tricks to get a garden in efficiently, i really like the stool method of planting the potato's and the plywood jig for making holes

[@asambi69]

I love spring and summer, getting out in the Garden and growing something. It's what I look forward too, with how busy life gets, It's a nice change of pace and gives me a mental break from the rushing and racing of everyday life.

[@218philip]

An old timer (neighbor) showed me that cutting the raspberry plant down to four stems in the spring yielded more fruit, it is much easier pick also.

[@michaelmills34]

A great episode from a man worth listening to! Thank you.

[@FarmsteadForge]

My family and I really enjoy your videos - always good life advice to be learned. Thanks!

[@arubaguy2733]

I used to plant an 80 by 90 foot garden back in the day on the farm. It was done where pigs had run years earlier. The hedgerows that had grown up along the pig fence kept the deer out. It was quite a bit of work doing almost 7,200 square feet with a walk-behind tiller, but the amount of produce was fantastic. I'm 72 now, and my "garden" consists of 20 plant bags of tomatoes and hot peppers and herbs started from seed on the back deck of the condo. I still process tomato sauce and make hot sauce. Working the soil (even in bags) is therapeutic.

[@rerolley]

Our garden has a number of perennials, raspberries, asparagus, rhubarb, various herbs. Glad to see your raspberries are doing well. We are starting to harvest ours.

[@cybersurfer2010]

Great last words!

[@truthreigns7]

[@lancesweeney1655]

I'm going to confess that I'm coveting that rich, loose soil of yours! The thick clay of north Texas has heard enough gardener swearing to last a lifetime. I appreciate seeing how your habit of being deliberate and efficient is revealed in your gardening. Keep up the good work!

[@drummerboy3377]

I agree about the importance of the garden Scott. I'm just a young guy (26) but I've been planting and tending gardens since I knee high to my Pap. This is my second year doing a garden all on my own as my grandparents are getting up in years and i wouldn't trade the memories or lessons learned for any amount of money.

[@geckosethpe]

ya'll ever think about an automated drip irrigation system? lots of ways to save time on just watering alone and using that time on other things.

[@paulhiggs5172]

Thank you 😊

[@andygrayson7485]

Showing our children that we care for the family, our neighbors, and the earth, should mean the world to our children. I spent the last 9 months' weekends with my Dad before he passed. The grandkids constantly asked me how great grandpa (great-pop-pop) was doing and what we did together. Show our children's children how to farm, and you will grow a family. Thx EC team!

[@tommywilliamson2103]

At 8 years of age I ask my parents if I could have a little garden plot of my own to raise vegetables that I could sale to help me to raise my own spending money. Two years later I also starting mowing yards and doing other yard work. My little plot soon got abandoned as the older siblings started leaving home snd we no longer needed the entire for the family so I got part of the main garden. Some fond memories from those days and s lot of lessons learned many of which still stick with me almost 60 years later.

[@grb101uk]

What a great video Scott. I really like the way you produce ‘content’ and you are a natural at it. I’ve learnt so much from you and gained so much inspiration. Next stop for me is a little veg plot at my work yard to enjoy with my family. What a beautiful spot you live in.

[@anthonyvancampen6729]

I grew up in Upstate New York, and we called them suckers. Several years going when I was in High School, my dad and I grew and sold tomato sets. My best-ever sale was selling sets to a friend's dad, only to have my dad laugh at me when I described the sale. Turns out he was in the Cornell University Agronomy School, his specialty - Tomatos.

[@critical-thought]

Great looking garden! You can skip the tilling. It is enough to paper/cardboard and spread mulch over it. Within 1 - 2 years weeding will be a 15 minute task every couple days.

If you ever find yourself with an extra few hours I think you and Kelly would really enjoy the gardening documentary "Back to Eden" with Paul Gautschi. Paul developed his garden and orchard in northwest Washington in a way that he uses no water (yes, no water!) Paul talks about his conversations with God and quotes passages that inspired his "Garden of Eden".

Planting a garden is much the same as harvesting firewood! There are benefits in each step until a delicious meal or a warm fire!

[@MikeHarris1984]

Why do you put construction paper and then Mulch down? I'm in Phoenix and I built a small 6x8 raised planter bed out of Redwood 2x6's (2 high) and a 2x6 Redwood ledge around the top. I then lined it and the bottom with 2 layers of 6mil plastic to keep the desert crap from growing up and keep the water and moisture in the mulch. I then filled with mulch and garden soil mixed.... Going on year 3. Wife and I grow seed's into small plants in our indoor Hydroponic garden and then transplant to the planter when they are grown and ready. Love the fresh Jalapenos, Green/Red Bell Peppers, Tomatos, Brocholli, Brussel Sprouts, and whatever else we like to try and grow.

[@74stevedc]

Nice garden, Raspberries look like there doing really well. Do you have blueberry and other fruit trees apple and pear.

[@billssmithy7352]

Next year, try some Cherokee Purple tomatoes. They're heirloom, so not resistant to many viruses and such. But, they're big, as in one slice/sandwich. And, mostly meat with very little juice.

I am a professional landscaper, but tend to call myself a gardener. It's the most basic human task - God Himself planted a garden, put people in it and told them to take care of it. Nothing better than having my hands in the dirt all day. ❤

Are the corn seeds that didn't work out come from a different source than the ones that did grow? Sometimes where you buy your seeds can be important.🤔

That pvc irrigation thing is overkill. Save your back and use a 1/2" drip irrigation system. Work smarter not harder!

[@rodisamet9174]

PVC irrigation is not a good idea. PVC is not used for water pipes because it leaches chemicals into the soil, especially when heated by the sun. Most irrigation systems today use polypropylene for that reason.
