It was a glorious but short lived rain. So welcoming. Happy gardening. Just a couple more days of 100+ degree whether to get thru. 🥵🌞

Each year after I do my first harvest, I leave the stalks in the ground and I get a second harvest in a couple of weeks. Then the broccoli goes to seed after. This is also a great way to collect seeds for the next year.

Susan ur garden still looks great... I'm in far northern California and we are dealing with extreme heat, drought and smoke from wildfires, it has been tough to endure, my garden has suffered tremendously

I'm right there with you, Barbara. This has truly been our most challenging growing season. Between the heat, drought and awful smoke, I'm feeling pretty discouraged. Please stay safe and let's hope next year is better. Take care.

We use a medium-weight shade cloth inside our greenhouse on the south side, to decrease the intensity of the sunlight. I'd say it's about a 50% grade.

Row covers 101, so useful! I noticed that you had your floating row cover on a roll. Where did you find that? I can only find precut stuff. It’s spendy and not the right size. Thanks for a great video!

Hi Susan, where do you buy these from? The one I bought from amazon was scattered just in a season
@SusansInTheGarden3 жыл бұрын
Are you referring to the floating row cover or bridal veil netting. If you're referring to the floating row cover, there are a lot of online sources for it. You should check these sources: Johnnyseeds.com, groworganic.com, harrisseeds.com, greenhousemegastore.com, or highmowingseeds.com. If you were talking about the bridal veil netting, here's where I bought a bolt of premium quality netting a few years ago: www.bbcrafts.com/products/ivory-108-inch-premium-tulle-fabric-bolt-w-108-inch-l-50-yards?_pos=1&_sid=8f8e94a56&_ss=r.

I notice you have a floating row cover that is attached to a frame that you can lift up on one side. Do you leave the cover on the frame year round and just put the whole frame away in the non- gardening season? I used floating row cover for the first time this year over my Cabbage family plants and beets thanks to your videos, and I've had the best crop I've ever had! My cylindra beets grew huge and for once nothing ate them before I could harvest, and I had the largest cauliflower heads I've ever had!

Well, that is GREAT news, Donna! The raised bed cover stays on the bed for the whole season, then we unscrew the frame from the bed and store it in a shed over the fall and winter. The raised bed and floating row cover are DIY projects in my new book, The Vegetable Garden Pest Handbook.

Hi Susan, I’m starting my pole beans, Cabbage and Collards this Fall. Harvest time won’t be until late November, but want to also plant a Cover Crop for the Raised Beds, the Buckwheat matures in 65 days. My question is Can I continue my gardening while planting the cover crop? If not what would you recommend? I’m in Connecticut Zone 6b.

Hi Susan! How long are the emts and how wide is your bed? I was thinking this is the exact height I need for my broccoli and cauliflower bed. I have never been able to successfully harvest my brassicas due to spider mites moving in as soon as heads start to form. Thank you & have a great day! - Zee, N. Cali zone10a
@SusansInTheGarden2 жыл бұрын
Hi, Zee. I believe EMTs are primarily sold in 10' lengths. In my book, The Vegetable Garden Pest Handbook, I have DIY projects for making your own row covers, including making a "pipe bender" for shaping the EMT "sticks." And spider mites are one of the insects I profile within my book. If you would be interested in getting a signed copy of my book, just drop me an email at Susan@SusansintheGarden.com.

@@annettefluit3496 Hi, Annette. Yes, that's a great tip. There are a lot of herbs that can help repel or distract certain types of pests. And it's great to interplant a lot of different things within a bed of cabbage family crops because it confuses the adult cabbage moths and butterflies.

I have high heat with 10 percent humidity and 30mph winds and the shade cloth is not helping. Plank leaves are drying out and falling off.
@SusansInTheGarden3 жыл бұрын
Oh my, that is awful. I'm so sorry. High winds and heat are a deadly mix. I think all you can do is supplemental watering and hope they get through it. This has NOT been a good year for growing a garden. Hang in there.
