I could listen to your dad talk about growing food all day. He has so much experience and knowledge about it. Oh your pepper trellis is actually called a Scrog, when it's horizontal it can be called a Scrog lol. Keep the videos coming.

[@tassiegirl1991]

Me too

He genuinely doesn’t realize how amazing he is does he so humble and practical ❤️

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

Thanks for the very kind words! May God bless you!

[@AbelLocksmithPensacola]

We will definitely need a video for the winter storage of these things like the onions and carrots he's talking about. That'd be awesome

[@laurenlovein562]

Your dad is a gardening genius! Thank you for all the wonderful videos!

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

Thanks so much 😊

[@MichaelJosephJr934]

Very nice that you show that even skilled gardeners have pest issues. Many garden tubers don't show that messed up plants. Some of my eggplants were down to one good leaf and now they're bouncing back. Not sure if it was the peroxide spray or the pests life cycle.

[@BalticHomesteaders]

I usually don't follow channels that have quite different climates to ours but I'm really enjoying your videos and wisdom there in. I always think my garden has the appearance of being weed free but yours is absolutely immaculate! Did you direct sow those smaller seed onions or do you always transplant? I really like how the drip tape irrigation system is working for you, I've been toying with installing it in our garden and might make the leap next year, both greenhouses already have it. I'm also researching evaporative cooling so it was nice to see your setup featured there. Thanks.

[@beckymartinez9926]

I love seeing everything so green and pretty. You are about 2 months behind my growing season. We are reaching almost 100 degrees now in N Tx. Really like the way your peppers look. It will be interesting to see if harvesting is a challenge. Thanks for sharing.

I have been fighting the squash bugs and the squash vine borer for years...now, I find them in my cucumbers, melons and even potatoes. What is your remedy for these pest? I have even found squash bug eggs laid on a steel post! Horrible critters! I have approx 8000 sq ft of garden space and love to get a new solution to garden problems. I really enjoy your channel, it is so calming to watch you and your Dad. Thanks for all the hard work and sharing it with everyone...and I appreciate your acknowledgement of our Lord in your videos!

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

Yes squash bugs are awful!! No remedy except growing in my high tunnel! I've tried just about everything to no avail😥 Thanks for your kind words and may God bless you!

[@bertarnoldo5199]

Put tin foil around the base of the young squash

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

That doesn't work.

[@bubbles6124]

Everything looks beautiful. Thanks for all you do. I really enjoy watching. The weather has been really wonky this year. My Yukon potatoes aren't doing well this year. Usually I do well with those. Getting ready to check the purples. First time growing Okinawan Sweet Potatoes are starting to take off. I hope they do well. Same with tomatillos. I told myself that I would try something new each year. My raised bed isn't huge, just enough for me to handle easily. Have a great day. Looking forward to next time. 🙏

[@kaymaier9780]

[@Crashbangable]

Curious what Storage onion you’re growing. I was under the impression the onions will let you know when they’re ready for harvest, and if you leave them in all the way to fall, they won’t store as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Your garden looks amazing.

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

I've grown Patterson for several yrs but I'm trying a new one this year,I'll let you know if it's any good this fall😁. My onions grow right up to first frost then that's when I pull them and store them. May God bless you!

[@darthwolverine747]

I planted bulb fennel last summer not knowing it was a perennial. It came back on its own this year in several places. Kids love to snack on the licorice flavored greens

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

Here it's an annual as it gets to 10 to 20⁰ F below zero! Thanks for watching!

[@Cherryparfait41]

I pull off some super harvests, but nowhere near as neat and tidy. You’ve added some wonderful systems for efficiency! Your setup for cooling the greenhouse is genius. Bonus level advantage! I thought it was hot and then we got swamped…beans and corn needed a redo. Have you at did you presprout your corn? Now that I can do it, I’m quite tempted. 😁

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

No need for me to pre sprout my corn as I have almost a perfect stand of corn,just one didn't germinate.

[@carlafawcett3851]

You're most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@Nakijead2]

I am not sure if you have shown a video on your watering system. But if at all possible can you show a detailed video on how you do that. Thanks I live near Edmonton, Alberta zone 4a. I pine for your climate to grow in but I have to work with what I have LOL.

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

We plan on doing a more thorough video on drip irrigation in the future!

[@leobaltz2057]

[@JessicaJLandi]

This video makes me want to plant beautiful, clean lines of produce instead of my chaos gardening. 😂

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

Nothing wrong with chaos as long as it produces wonderful healthy healing food,May God bless you!

[@user-jq2ny7gd2h]

This was fabulous! Your Dad is so knowledgeable and I appreciate him giving us these tidbits of information as he goes along. Also, where can we find the radiator system for the greenhouse? How does things in there get pollinated without the bees?

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

I made the evaporative cooling system,I don't think that you can buy anything like it in that small of a size unfortunately. Pollination is done by me if it needs it,tomatoes and peppers and cukes don't need anything from me but squash does. May God bless you!

[@anthonyvharris]

The cooling in the greenhouse is a great idea. It’s dad’s idea? I’d like to see how it is constructed one day.

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

Yes it works good! I believe it's one of the most economical ways way to cool a structure. Huge chicken farms use the same technique. Maybe we'll do a video on that too! God bless you!

[@evoliveoil]

Can you do a detailed video on your evaporator cooling system?

[@bustles]

Gorgeous garden. Great video

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

So nice of you, thanks!

[@danenglish3167]

What size holes do you put in your drip system. Thank you for sharing your videos 😊

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

It's all pre-made at the factory, it's called drip tape.

[@cervasaman1]

You should show when a video is filmed, Thanks!

[@matthewkheyfets1309]

HECK YE ANOTHER VIDEO

[@Agui007]

Your Dad reminds me of Charles Dowding with his layout, success and enthusiasm! 🤩 What part of the states are you in?

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

We're in SE Washington state. Blessings to you!

[@florinnatu]

looking at this it seems to me that the main reason is the water dripping system. i have to water by hand, as the garden is far away from a water source (100m) and i have water in barrels. this way the watering is not constant and it.s just logical that plants won.t stay green for long. especially beans and peas

[@Perseverance4477]

Thats an amazing garden, absolutely beutiful and well kept. How does he keep the weeds out? Does he just stay on top of hoeing?

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

I don't do much hoeing actually, I do more bending down and pulling weeds to make sure I get the roots and I try not to EVER let a weed go to seed. The biggest help in keeping it weed free is no-till and drip irrigation. May God bless you!

[@gigirossi8315]

Enjoyed your video. Very informative. What’s the name of your garlic? I’ve never seen a garlic stem so thick just wondering.

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

I have several different varieties so I'm not sure exactly what I was pointing too,sorry, have a blessed day!

[@juliepichel9352]

This man is so knowledgeable and adorable 😍

[@reer5340]

what nice people, I guess this what the American dream was all about after all....

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

😁😁😁😁😁

[@wendyburston3132]

Great video. I found the pepper set very interesting but cannot see why it's necessary. I live in zone 5 Canada so maybe your longer growing season makes bigger plants?

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

My plants are already through the top layer of netting, so it seems like it's going to be very beneficial! Have a blessed day!

[@evoliveoil]

What netting does he recommend and where does he get it?

[@anthonyvharris]

Thanks for sharing. I really like the mini farm. I am a bit envious of the space and water. I have a much smaller urban garden and in Southern California water is expensive. If you don’t mind me asking what part of the country are you in? Just the zone is fine if you like.

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

SE Washington state.

[@suzannestack7784]

Which ( irrigation) water tape do you use? Which main hose do you connect them to?

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

Drip tape is P1-51525-08-4100 ,and the main line is just 3/4" black poly pipe,mine has a blue stripe running the length of it but any 3/4" poly pipe will work. May God bless you!

[@shortfilmzz123]

how do you not have any weeds?

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

By doing weeding and doing no-till.

[@danielpowell6498]

I have a question. What is your rotating schedule. Do you leave plots to compost down or do you just rotate your crops? Northern Californian here zone 9

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

I do not do crop rotation, nature doesn't so neither do I, nature makes total sense, as the crop grows it's pulling up nutrients that it needs to produce a crop then it dies and deposits it back into the same place it came from so if you rotate your moving the nutrients from place to place instead of putting them back where they came from ready for the next season,I'll either use the spent plants as a mulch or I'll compost them and put it back on the ground. Have a blessed day!

[@danielpowell6498]

@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork Thank you! This is another silly question. Then why top dress amendments? Are the nutrients the plant is taking more than what’s given back? Is it more for mineral content? IE peppers and tomatoes love calcium and phosphorus. So put those amendments back in a greater supply before planting next year.

[@danielpowell6498]

Sorry then if so. Do you top dress amendments once before planting or throughout the growing season?

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

Yes.

[@Robert-un6uu]

What do u do with all the cilantro you grow?

[@kellymahan861]

Pesto uses a ton of cilantro...we also use it in the Mexican food we love.

[@bryanswanson5007]

how do you have virtually zero weeds growing in all that space? Your rows and beds all look perfectly clean, For the last 5 years Ive been using the black ground cover in my in ground garden and that was a game changer for weed control,I get none anymore but wondering how you guys have none, all that space would take a week to weed and by the time your done, new weeds would be popping up I would think. Great gardens

[@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork]

No-till and drip irrigation and diligence in pulling weeds and never let a weed go to seed is how I keep it tidy and clean,weeding is good for us as it's kinda like aerobic exercise, keeps our lymph system stimulated as well which makes everything work better😁! May God bless you!

[@evoliveoil]

Does your dad amend his soil the same way as he does his tomatoes?
