Cheers to everyone's 2025 growing! 🎉

[@gabrielesalvatori6804]

my dad got sick this fall and said he won't be making his usual garden, at least this year so here i am, at 23 studying my ass off trying to learn as much as possible to make him a surprise and ready to get to work in about 2 weeks, i've been binge watching your videos with a notebook (and already started my basil indoors) and want to thank you for everything you taught me! ready to start tomatoes cucumbers potatoes onions peas zucchini peppers and lettuce! edit: thanks a lot for the tips and encouraging words, it means a lot! dad is fine, he just took a gap year to heal properly

[@MeNotYou72]

Built my beds from his videos from scratch and had a beautiful garden for the past three years. Don't stress, just learn and honor the process like you honor your dad. Don't cut corners on things like pollinators, and companion plants you think may not be worth it, because they so are. Know what pest issues he's had in the past, and you're at a fantastic head start!

[@abaddon2148]

Remember to water and fertilise every 1-2 weeks depending on plant (onions may need more often) and that'll pretty much set you up for success👍 The greatest failures I've had in gardening are from missing one or both of those two things. Good luck and God Bless.

[@Zhornax]

I'm a beginner myself, but wish you the best of luck!

[@JenCulpan]

I am busy learning now. I was not madly interested in gardening when younger. My mom was the gardener and I regret not having learnt from her before she passed on. I'm in my late 60's and my advice to younger people is to learn as much as you can from parents and grandparents. They have survived wars and the great depression. We face heat waves, no water and no electricity at intervals and I wish my survival skills were as good as theirs. Love these videos.

[@ginaiosef]

Good luck with everything ! Best wishes and health to your proud dad also!

[@jaytoney3007]

I have my garden plotted out, and all seeds on hand. January 3, 2025 kicks off my seed starting. I m going to start with onions, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. Then move on to tomatoes, peppers, mustard, chard, pak choi, basil, dill, cilantro, Romaine Lettuce, and assorted flowers. I have a lot of seeds that I'll be direct sowing between Feb 15-20, shelling peas, snow peas, beetroot, carrots, parsnips, turnips, assorted leaf lettuce, and more. Despite the cold, my garden is still going. I just harvested broccoli today, and will have more ready in a few days. I have red cabbage, chard, carrots, beetroot, and parsnips that I need to harvest. Three of four hens have started laying eggs. I got three so far this morning, and expect one more. With the price of eggs in the US, that makes me rich. LOL. Rural Alabama, zone 7A.

[@GrowVeg]

Great to be starting sowing so soon Jay. Great work! 😀

[@holycameltoe124]

if this isn't the most wholesome youtube channel I don't want to know what is. so considerate, even with the gardenplanner free trial not having to put in payment options is just so friendly. we can all benefit from following this mans gentle and kind example.

[@GrowVeg]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Happy gardening! :-)

[@MsRegina333]

I've purchased your book and it is beautiful! Now for Starting a small garden! I have attempted growing in containers- works well with attention! Without the attention it deserves-fail. I am hopeful for 2025! Big decline in pollinators in my area- disturbing! I am praying for those little giants! Enjoy your videos immensely!

[@GrowVeg]

Thanks so much for your support. Here’s hoping for a very productive 2025!

[@ginaiosef]

Every time I watch your videos, I am amazed by your vast knowledge and even more, how you explain every piece of information you provide. You may have extensive experience, which obviously speaks for itself, but you back it up with the method and the obvious love you bring to the work you do. You are certainly gifted and know how to teach lessons, and the joviality that always accompanies you makes you my favourite teacher! Thank you for everything! ♥️

[@ashleys637]

I was sitting in front of a dry erase board getting ready to sketch a garden plan for the coming year when I came upon this. Perfect timing! My husband and I moved in the Spring of last year and didn't have time to get a garden up and running, but I'm pumped for this year. Thanks for the vid!

[@oceansoul3694]

Happy New Year Ben~!! I'm so happy to see you posting new videos again, I really need the positive outlook after a terrible garden & health year. This year will be better, even if I have to slow down a bit because of my heart. I am so glad to see beginners posting here, they could not have a better teacher! All the best in 2025!

[@chiaragibbs1693]

Fennel is a huge one for me this year, I have it dotted through the garden in any wee gaps (kiwi so mid growing season here) but even in season, it's easily $4 a bulb for a very small bulb half the size of what I grow 😂 saves so much money and fills in all the wee gaps. I even have it interplanted with daffy bulbs which have gone for the year 😂

[@GrowVeg]

Wow - that's a lot for a bulb of fennel. Definitely worth growing it yourself! :-)

[@GrowVeg]

Will do - can't wait! :-)

[@JubilantGardener]

For the new gardeners out there: listen to Ben on locating your garden as close as possible to a water source. We started a neighborhood garden on some land under power lines last year. Excellent sun exposure (due to no trees under those power lines) BUT closest water source is 400 feet away. Maintaining 400 feet of hose is a nightmare! So many leaks and possible points of failure. Plus, having the garden that far away makes it feel like a real chore to go down there to check on plants (and pests!). Learn from our mistake!

[@FatcatandFriends]

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! As a newbie, you have no idea how hard I’ve looked for EXACTLY a video like this!!! Plus you’re my favorite-you always make me feel like I can actually do this!! (I’m getting there 😝)

Planning my garden space for 2025 is so exciting! It’s the perfect time to reflect on what worked this year and think of new ideas for the next. I am thinking of trying out new crops, designs, or maybe expanding my space by doing vertical garden.

2025 is going to be my 3e year with a small garden for crops. I still feel like a beginner that so I love the little beginner section, thanks!

[@DownButNotOutYet]

Good morning Ben, as enthusiastic as ever, and that does us the viewers the world of good. I have a row of hydrangeas growing on the west side of the house, they have been there since we moved in and every summer those beautiful flowers get burned from the sun, and this year with our drought it was even worse. So I have decided to remove them, I will just cut them back low to the soil and lift them into containers, then I can use that for a focus point where and when I wish to. It has been a most delightful gardening class for me watching your videos this year, I am sure you will bless us with more tips and ideas for the year 2025. I trust your Christmas was most enjoyable and I might add, do have a beautiful and peaceful New Year's day with your family or friends, enjoy whatever you are going to do. Just remember, moderation. Do have a great time ending the holiday Festive season. Wishing you all the very best, kind regards, Elize

[@GrowVeg]

Thanks so much for your kind words Elize. A very happy and joyous start to 2025 to you too. Thank you for all of your support. :-)

[@GardensforLife]

[@redsaint1633]

This time last year i was recovering from surgery ( I'm all good now). It meant a delayed and slow start. I felt as though i never really got going so i am looking forward to 2025 in my garden and allotment (shared with friends). Cannot believe how exited i am😂

[@GrowVeg]

Hope it's a really productive year for you - and great to hear you're all recovered from your surgery. :-)

[@nedweeks6964]

Always good to remember at higher latitudes that September sun is the same as March. A sunny spot in June might not see much sun in September. Also here where I live in the spring there are no leaves on the trees yet so that sunny spring. Spot might stay cool and shady for most of the day on the other end of the season. Can't wait for spring!

[@GrowVeg]

Very wise words, thank you. Happy gardening! :-)

[@winter1angelz]

Great video! ❤ I only got a balcony, but its always fun to plan and learn from the year prior what worked and what didnt. Looking forward to your next video! 😊

[@pobo6113]

This last season was my first time to grow okra. I was amazed at how well they did. I will recommend you wear long sleeves when picking though because they make you rather itchy.

[@GrowVeg]

Thanks for the recommendation. :-)

[@sandicalder6959]

[@DragonflyenAmber]

Your winters have been wetter while here in my part of Canada we have had warmer winters than usual. As much as some folks like this as a gardener I know it means more pests in summer since their eggs didn't get killed off by the cold we used to get. I'm already planning what I will be replanting and what I will be trying for the first time. Spring can't come soon enough!

[@kirstenpaff8946]

I am looking forward to planting things in my balcony container garden again this year, though I am still months away from planting, seeing as my last frost date isn't until May and I am likely to still be getting snow through mid April.

I didn't manage to get much grown this year or last year (what i did grow the slugs ate!). I'm determined to get plenty on the go in 2025. Time to get planning (can't wait to sort it out and tidy it up.

[@GrowVeg]

I'm not sure where you'd buy it Stateside. I've had a preliminary look on Amazon, but can't find anything that matches the style I use. But really, you could use any insect mesh/netting to keep pests off.

[@Im-just-Stardust]

I feel like every new gardener falls into the trap of growing things they don't even like to eat😂 I do it every year myself even though I know better!

[@JudithTrumpshaw]

Can I ask: are there particular types of squash and pumpkin that like to climb? Also don’t they burn against the metal arches in the summer heat? Thank you (loving your enthusiasm, it’s contagious 😊)

[@GrowVeg]

Most winter squashes and pumpkins sprawl, so can easily be trained up supports. They don't really burn on the arches as they tend to shade their supports as they grow, keeping things a bit cooler.

[@JudithTrumpshaw]

@ I have been burying my food recycling as you suggested, with a stick to remind me where it is, I’m planning on putting the squash’s pumpkins and courgettes in this bed, training up what I can. I’m excited to see your ideas come together 😊

[@ljgerken]

I have experimented with all of those flowers except Poached egg plant and calendula. Borage just doesn't do well for me for some reason. Have you tried cosmos? I grow the zinnia and cosmos together as they get to be similar heights. Bees go for the cosmos and butterflies go for the zinnias. I grown them in a central ring garden where my beds are all around the outside. I finally got nastiurtium to take this year. I had good luck with both giant orange marigolds and smaller french lemon drop marigolds around my tomato plants. I grew cucumbers up my sunflowers and this spring I'm going to add runner beans, sweet peas, cucumber up the sunflowers with the alyssum around the edges of the beds.

[@GrowVeg]

Sounds like you're growing flowers in a really effective way - great job! I have grown cosmos in the past also and really love it. :-)

[@trailsanddales4356]

Hi Quick question. I am planning my allotment for the coming year and live in Todmorden in a steep sided valley which can be cold. So the question is in your videos when you suggest a date to start sowing things should I add an extra month on to avoid frost damage etc? thank you

[@GrowVeg]

Your local weather station will be what the sowing dates are based on. However, if you are in a particularly cold micro climate then it may be prudent to add an extra two weeks on to err on the side of caution.

[@TraceUK]

How did you create your paths between your beds please? Is it just wood chip on top of weed membrane?

[@GrowVeg]

It's actually just wood chip directly on top of the grass (originally). I have to top the chips up from time to time, but it gives a lovely path surface.

[@Lively.Garden]

happy 2025 everyone

[@laggywarden2915]

Last year I somehow grew a pumpkin in a container it died before I moved so I didn’t have to move it, I’m hoping to grow more peas and carrots this year and hope my garlic actually makes it because the other times I planted it it rotted :/, but this year it didn’t

[@HometownUnicorn]

Hello, out of interest, where did you get your metal arches for your garden??

[@jaytoney3007]

There are a lot of options Lowes, Tractor Supply, and many local feed & seed stores sell sixteen foot sections of cattle panel. Fold it over, and you have an arched tunnel. Make it as long as you want by adding more sections. If this is bigger than what you need, go to the cement section of your local hardware store, and look for ladder bar. It is about ten inches wide, and likewise folded over into an arch. You can space them together, or in intervals apart, putting them where ever they are needed.

[@GrowVeg]

I got them from Agrs: www.agrs.co.uk/collections/garden-arches/products/elegance-round-arch

[@HungaryGardener]

Where did you find this net tent at 4:28? I love that and can't find it on amazing with how I am searching.

[@katherinecadwallader5418]

Check in the baby section. It looks like something to protect a baby from insects

[@GrowVeg]

The net tent is from Harrod Horticultural: www.harrodhorticultural.com/popadome-crop-protection-system-1-2m-x-1-2m-pid9602.html

[@phirst55]

Does the garden planner take into consideration a poor growing year like last summer? With regards to follow on crops if the first crop is weeks behind the usual growing time

[@GrowVeg]

It is based on average growing conditions for your area. You can enter the in-ground dates for each crop, with the option to err on the side of caution if you wish to allow for potentially inclement conditions.

[@UncleDot]

I have a big problem. I have a garden that's about 100ft x 25ft. It's been overgrown since the 1980s. Exactly halfway along the length is a slope where a stone wall collapsed. The level on the left side is about 4ft lower than the right. I can't afford to have it landscaped but I want to make it all into an attractive vegetable, fruit and wildlife garden. In spring and summer the banking gets overgrown with weeds, mainly buttercups, nettles and dandelions. It's difficult to use the cardboard & mulch method because it just falls to the lowest level. What can I do? I was thinking about using some natural hessian over it and planting low growing cotoneaster because they're good for wildlife and act as a natural weed suppressant but I was wondering if there's a vegetable that I could grow on that banking. Thanks in anticipation.

[@jaytoney3007]

I live on sloped land, so don't see it as a major concern. In fact, there are benefits that you can use to your advantage. Here is what I would do. Make rows, hilling up the soil, so the rows are about a foot wide with one foot spacing between them. The rows need to be perpendicular to the slope of the land. This minimizes erosion. The rows elevate the plant roots, so they aren't submerged in water after a heavy rain. The slope of the land expedites drainage. This is a crop saver. As for what type of vegetables you can grow, well, just about anything. Rural Alabama, one 7A.

[@GrowVeg]

Really great advice! Squashes are really great at sprawling across a sloping surface.

[@UncleDot]

@@jaytoney3007 Thank you.

[@herbanexplorer]

I am working with limited space in my small garden, with one main area that gets full sun. I’ve been reading about crop rotation and am considering it since I battled leaf blight for the first time this summer on my tomatoes. How do you rotate crops when you’re working with unlimited space? Also, to all my experienced gardeners, is crop rotation even necessary? I’m having a hard time determining where to put my tomatoes this year since they need full sun. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@GrowVeg]

To rotate crops in a limited space the best thing you can do is to simply avoid growing crops from the same crop family (e.g. Brassicas) in the same piece of ground two seasons running. If you can leave a gap - any gap - of time that will really help, especially with more vulnerable crops. Blight is mostly carried on the wind, but if you can grow those tomatoes in a new area next time round that would be a sensible precaution. This video may offer a few more pointers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGW8kqOdg5t6aNksi=FKBBL8fTXprKjWS8

[@jankerslake5813]

I planted a few nasturtium last season but they totally took over! They even swamped my courgette plants which failed completely. Unfortunately they’re already shooting all over my onion and garlic patch now despite lots of ‘weeding’. Any idea how to control them? Thanks

[@AgnesAtelier-hn7pb]

LOL Can you send me some? Nasturtiums are supposed to be easy to grow. I planted some, only two plants made it last growing season. And only two flowers the two on the same plant! 😢 I think the spot was not good for them.

I find they can spread a bit but they are very thin-stemmed and easy to just pull out where they're not wanted.
