Also my recommendation will be add nasturtiums to those tomato beds! Life changing I do 8 tomatoes per bed, basil, marigolds and nasturtiums in all 4 corners and it works wonders. I haven't seen one hornworm in like 3 years 🎉

[@blackcoffee2002]

I have used basil and it works. Will try adding marigolds this year.

[@gtchickadee1]

I randomly found your channel and I have been binge watching all your videos :)))) I am in zone 5a and I am following your seedling starting guide. This will be my first time growing veggies from seeds, and first time building my own raised beds in our first home. I am excited! 🎉🎉❤

[@miscmichele]

Me too! I've been binge watching her channel and I've already ordered my seeds. I can't wait for my first garden! :D

[@CaliKim29]

I'm with you on the hornworms (no worries). I, too, don't spray anything on my garden, and you nailed it with the companion planting Fun video, Sam! Here we go gardening '25 - CaliKim

Spring is the most exciting time of the year! I focus on germinating trees and it I genuinely get giddy this time of year :D

Michigan here and a newbie as well. So happy I came across your channel. Can't wait to watch and learn. Thank you

[@MorethanGardening]

Thanks for the kind words! I love when Michigan people find my corner of the internet 🌱🫶

5th year of gardening… Thank you so much for the excel spreadsheet! I have yearly journals/calendars that I write down literally everything listed in the spreadsheet. I’m not excel savvy so I’m grateful for this template! Thanks again!

Eric and Jacques are the reason I started gardening three years ago. I'm still learning, of course, but those guys are the reason I tried to begin with. ❤

[@shelbybehrensmeyer1188]

So much helpful information- I’m in zone 8 but still took tons of information, this will be my second year. Can’t wait to follow along!

[@ravenprice6112]

As a COMPLETE beginner, I find just about every video on starting a garden, how to grow food, etc very overwhelming. I literally don't even know anything about soil or how to grow a plant. I guess I should start there? I have no land yet and am living in an apartment but I've started my learning journey as well as a journal to take notes and plan for my future garden. Does anyone have any advice or good learning resources for not just a beginner, but a dummy 😂

[@tineshiak7320]

I’m a beginner myself. This will be my second year growing. It’s a trial and error process. Learn as you grow. I googled so much and I still do. I also follow a lot of gardeners and take notes. Good luck. ❤

[@lizjones1163]

Beginner here!! I totally agree. All these videos are advanced for people who are staring at 0. lol so I’m just going to start next month and hope for the best!! Hopefully I learn more as I go.

[@sallysmith7562]

I would recommend getting a physical copy of the farmer’s almanac and just read and learn what applies to the kind of gardening you want to do.

[@ThousandTimesBefore]

If you have a balcony, you can already start your growing journey! I'm a beginner and had great success with tomatoes and lettuce in containers last year! Cucumbers didn't grow at all for me though haha

[@gabriellebrown2475]

Do you have a balcony? Maybe you could do one on it if you do :)

[@pureanodyne]

My family and I inherited a golf course, that is no longer being used as one, and we are in zone 4b, so fairly close to yours. We have so much land, we want to plant all the things! We are very much beginners, so thank you for letting us follow along, hopefully this first year won't be too painful!

[@house_of_cruz]

🌟"I inherited a golf course" that sounds amazing and something I never heard of! Way cool 😊

[@MorethanGardening]

That’s amazing! Good luck getting everything started this year! 🌱

[@stevensheriff2512]

Sand is great for starting potatoes slips so toss a few potatoes in there and get it started. With a water source you are ready to go...

[@ktsls82]

Be careful. Many pesticides are used on golf courses. You may want to bring in new soil to plant in.

[@normarosado5697]

Hi , 2nd yr gardening. Learn lots of lessons what not to do,lol. Looking forward to this growing season . I have also bought from BI also this year. Lots of Flowers too. Glad to find your channel.😊

[@nicolewilson9555]

I love how you can tell how passionate you are 🥰 definitely will follow along for this season! Have you ever used leftover seeds from previous seasons? I just feel bad they're going to waste 🥲

[@MorethanGardening]

I have! I found leftover lettuce, kale, spinach, and cucumber seeds worked well for me last season but this year I planted some year old onion seeds and the germination was pretty pathetic.

[@Helloandgoodbye1-l4r]

On my first year of gardening I grew an apple tree but they take forever to sprout. Now I mainly do hydroponic gardening

[@sheetaljaiswar9903]

Michigander here too and a newbie to gardening 😅Following you from 6 months now and I love all the useful contents u share 😊

[@MorethanGardening]

Thank you! I’m so happy every time someone from Michigan finds me 😄

[@jessicalozen1743]

Michigan gardener here! While I have been growing things for many years, I still consider myself a beginner because there is still so much I don't know, so thank you for creating this video! I learned a lot from you :) Also, I grew luffa last year, it was super fun! I am in 6B and this is what I learned, so hopefully it can help you know how to adjust for yours. My Luffa took a very long time to produce fruit so if yours does the same be patient, and don't give up on it! It took 4/5 months for mine to flower and start producing fruit, and I was so close to giving up on it, so trust the process. I started my seeds indoor in march, transplanted in may and yielded full sized green crop in end of september/ early october, so unfortunately they did not dry out prior to our first frost, so I didn't get to make sponges with them. So, next time I think I'd try to start my seeds way sooner. The vines go crazy, they are super strong, and climb with tendrils and they can easily take over items nearby, so give them space. And I have never seen so many varieties of pollinators in my yard as I did this year, especially bees, so i'm not sure if it was from that but it was so cool to see! I'm so excited you are giving them a go. Best of luck with it, and I can't wait to see how it turns out!

[@MorethanGardening]

Thank you SO much!! I will definitely start my luffa seeds earlier than I planned :) I really appreciate the advice!

[@olliegirl22]

Just so you know (I'm an entomologist) with japanese beetles the dead/squashed bodies of the beetles will let of a pgeromone that actually *attracts* more beetles, same with those pheromone traps. The smell technically will lead them into a spot to die but overall you may have more beetles showing up that you will have to deal with. Just figured might be helpful!

[@MorethanGardening]

Interesting! My research has always pointed to dead beetles deterring other beetles. Good to know!

[@shermyjourney2520]

First time gardening here! (Well other than helping my mom weed her garden when I was younger). Thanks for the video. My current plan is two raised beds with mostly tomatos. Peppers. Herbs. And onions and garlic.

[@MorethanGardening]

That sounds like an awesome garden! My first raised bed was filled with tomatoes, peppers, herbs, lettuce, and cucumber!

[@Erickaintothegarden]

I planted Sweet Alyssum at the base of my tomato and pepper plants and they did great! I cant recall if i had any hornworms in 2024. I also planted purple basil near the tomatoes. The white and purple flowers and foliage smelled and looked so complimentary.

[@MorethanGardening]

Purple basil sounds so fun! I should look into that. I want to bring more fun colors into the garden this year 🤩

[@Erickaintothegarden]

@@MorethanGardening I'm a new sub so I haven't watched many videos yet to get to know your garden yet but look forward to it. I started gardening a few years ago and really got into it last year. I love adding marigolds, nasturtiums, and herbs throughout the garden for color and to help deter pests. There are so many varieties and cultivars of plants we could try something new each year and never catch up. My friend has considered planting prickly pear on the outside of her fence to see if that keeps deer away. Not sure if they would care.

[@MorethanGardening]

I like doing marigolds & basil for pests. The best part of gardening is you can try new seeds and varieties every year and never run out!

[@MimiGardens]

I have planted alyssum by my tomatoes the last 2 years, which are helpful to draw parasitic wasps. I found multiple parasitized hornworms in 2023, but live hornworms last year. I am not sure what the difference was.

[@Erickaintothegarden]

@@MimiGardens that's good to know! I had less weeding to do too, which was great 😃

Thank you for this! I'm in zone 6 too, and I'm starting all my plants from seeds, so it's nice to see someone in my zone and how they plan out their garden. I have been collecting marigolds for my garden this year, so I'm excited to try intercropping them with my tomatoes.

[@MorethanGardening]

Hi! So nice to meet people from my zone 🙂 marigolds are awesome for tomatoes & I put them by my peppers too and they were great! I think you’ll love them

[@mrslt09]

Thank you so much! 🌱💚

[@kin.creates]

Would encourage you to try an apple tree! In Michigan you’ll have a much easier time with the cold season. My father grew tons of apple trees in Minnesota and the one in our backyard was lovely. I live in the pnw now and our warm season means it would be much harder to grow - they love that cold.

[@MorethanGardening]

Thanks for the tip! I wanted apple trees originally but have heard so many horror stories about how hard they are to maintain that it scared me 😅 maybe I’ll do both! Haha

[@dorothyleeuw8774]

I have been gardening for 30 years. I personally do not add wood to fill the bottom of a raised beds as it encourages ants and wood bugs. I agree that in a perfect world it is good not to spray for pests. But with global warming we are now getting pests that I have never had to deal with in the past. Last year we had leafhoppers for the first time and I can still see them around when I am working in the yard in December. I did try the nematodes last year to no avail. I grow 1000 flowers from seed yearly but we have now put in a greenhouse and a raised beds potager and will be growing vegetables. Obviously we do not want to spray what we eat. For my bracica’s I will be covering with row cover for the cabbage moth. We will see how it works this year will be a trial. Subscribed to watch what you grow. :)

[@MorethanGardening]

I’m so jealous of the greenhouse! That’s next on my list :) good luck this season!

[@nickc5696]

Hi Sam, great video. I enjoy watching other Michiganders and their gardening adventures. I live in between Brighton and Ann Arbor.

First video! Nice to meet you :D! I also love to cram things together to see how they do! Onions and Carrots grow really well together in my experience! I had the best carrot year ever last year and I just did a row of carrots in between my rows of onions! That bed also had 0 pests other than the grasshoppers hiding there haha! No plant damage though!

[@MorethanGardening]

Maybe I’ll try a row of carrots between my onions! Thanks for the tip 🌱😀

I had Apple trees in Illinois 😢I don't anymore because I Just moved to Mexico, but they did great there. I bought alot of seeds before coming to Mexico from MI Garden and epic garden and I can't start a garden because I have no space here. But hopefully soon I will lookibg for land now I am sharing my life in KZbin as well and hope to soon be in your shoes and planting my garden like back in the states. Happy New Year and God bless

Omg idk if I could handle seeing a tarantula 😅 I wouldn’t kill it but I would probably scream LOL

[@JohnJude-dp6ed]

Last season I didn't start enough peppers and as soon as my choice of nursery started sale of peppers I bought a couple dozen and 2nd week I wanted just a few more and the ones I was raising from them mine was double or more in size and surprisingly they grew just about as fine as mine older plants to my surprise, The later ones from the nursery seem stunted and never caught up with anything staying half the normal size. Nearly 95 percent of insects help our garden I don't use poison either. Loofahs will draw more bees in your area after mid summer then anything else 6a Mid Ohio Starting your own seeds give you a choice of hundreds of tomatoes and peppers and other veggies

[@msmaddox2918]

Last year, I found that the tomato hornworms ate almost all my peppers! Usually they go after my tomatoes and I was so happy that they weren't eating my tomatoes, that I didnt notice that they were eating all my peppers! 😲

[@MorethanGardening]

Oh no!! I’ve never had a hornworm on peppers. That’s so sad!

[@JohnJude-dp6ed]

Lady I'm using sunflower as a cover crop, Don't disturb the sunflower don't dig or tilt just adding 1/2 to 1 cup bone meal near the old sunflower stumps and space the seedlings 10 further from each other than you normally do as they are going to thrive. Less work, less time and 1/3 watering necessary later. This I've done for the 5th season.To care for my soil I repeat the sunflower every third season. I plant mine tomatoes in a square setup having 4 seedlings in each square. Most importantly the raise in ground beds are about 10 inches high the first season setup and the 4 cages in a square are held together with wire ties and sunflower stalks from the first season keep them in a dry place during the winter and then after laying them hortorizon on the tomato cages tie them together gives strength from summer storms.

Asian pears are another good fruit tree that produces well in the second year. The fresh fruit from the tree is SO much better than the ones you get at supermarkets.

[@MorethanGardening]

Are they as hard to grow as apples? I haven’t looked into pears much but I will! Thank you!

[@rellimarual]

@@MorethanGardening I haven't tried to grow an apple tree, as there were three on my property when I bought it. What is supposed to be difficult about them? I've only planted peaches and Asian pears, which are very different from European pears, I should add! They are round, very crisp, like an apple, and extremely juicy. European pears take forever to bear fruit, but I got dozens of fruit off the Chojuro Asian pear tree I planted three years ago. Peaches are prone to disease, I do know that, so make sure you look into dormancy spraying. Asian pears are just very easy, grow fast, are productive, and the fruit is lovely, so worth trying one! (In Maine, btw).

[@kutmulc]

The roots of legumes get colonized by rhizobium which fixes nitrogen into the roots, creating nitrogen-rich nodules. When the plant dies, the root bacteria die and leave behind bioavailable nitrogen that can be taken up by the next plant. However, this requires the root to decompose in the soil, making the nitrogen available for next year.

[@melaniesunshine1951]

I'm not sure about growing outside. Our neighbors grow corn. So we basically live surrounded by corn fields. I'm assuming they spray it all with roundup. So, none of my food would be organic. I haven't decided what to do yet. Unfortunately, moving isn't an option.

I use them all on everything pretty much. The granular ones get mixed into the soil & the liquid ones get mixed with water and then applied during watering every couple weeks or so. I’m not super particular about what fertilizers are used on what plants unless a plant clearly needs a certain nutrient and then I address that with a specific fertilizer.

[@seydaelias226]

Hi just came across your channel! I’m a beginner gardener in Sacramento zone 9b. I just bought the medium birdies raised bed and was wondering if you had any tips on what I should plant this first year in the raised bed. I will probably make it a 6x3 bed. I also have about 10 grow bags 5 and 15 gallon ones that I will using as well. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. 😊

[@MorethanGardening]

I would focus on growing what you like to eat! Tomatoes & peppers are always a solid choice. If you grow those I would add basil & cilantro so you can use the basil in pasta sauce & cilantro in fresh salsa with your peppers & tomatoes. Lettuce is also really easy and you can direct sow seeds into the soil. 5 gallon is good for lettuce/greens & 15 is good for the tomatoes & peppers! Also zucchini is super prolific and easy to grow :) I hope that helps!
