Your garden looks fantastic. It's a real inspiration for me. I'm surprised how small your zucchinis are and yet they are already flowering. Keep up the good work! 👍

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Yes this year the cold weather persisted in June. But I am sure my zucchini will grow now that the weather changed

You and I have similar raised bed design style in that we both like symmetry. After nagging my husband for two years to repair a rotted raised bed, I finally told him to lend me a drill, electric saw, and screws and I will repair it myself. Well, not only did I repair 3 rotted raised beds, I also redesigned the other beds to make the entire layout more symmetrical, added 3 new raised beds, built 2 cute patio planters for growing dwarf varieties of things, and built 2 mini pergolas/arbors to support a string trellis for tomatoes or cucumbers. I had 278 sqft of raised bed space, and now I have 342. My husband told me to stop building stuff. So I have now started a container garden. 🤣🤣

You have come a long way!! I enjoyed your tour. I've been planning my planting this morning with you and coffee. :)

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Everything looks good. I am experimenting too, I like to try at least one new thing each year. It keeps things interesting, sometimes they are successful and sometimes not so much but I learn so much. This year I have changed two of my raised beds to the square foot gardening method. I have also added a new no dig bed. I have lots of fun trying new things and wish you the best of luck with yours. Stay safe everyone and good luck growing.😘🤗

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Great to hear that, that I am not the only one testing new things but I would disagree with you when you say that some test aren't so much successful... Every test is successful because with every test you learn something :) Wish you all the best with your square foot garden! PS I would love to see some pictures of your garden. You can post them on my FB page :)

@@SmallGardenQuest Quite true I stand corrected. Sorry I can't post I don't do Facebook. Utube is as social as I get otherwise my sisters would get me involved in their quarrels. I am best off out of it lol!😁🤗

Another great video! I love your raised vegetable bed. I looks so charming, and the vegetables are looking good. It has definitely been a strange year, weather-wise, but I’m sure those veg that are a bit behind will bounce back.

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Thank you! Yes they will bounce back. I will loose a few growing days but in the en the produce will be here 😊

[@iuliana1813]

Might have something to do with the solar minimum and our shifting , loosing strenght magnetic shield. It has been a strange weather all over the globe. In the future gardening, gardeners and farmers might have to adapt the way they cultivate to those climatic changes.

[@jasonmorrow9616]

Looking great! Best of luck with your carrots! :-)

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Thank you Jason!

[@gracecanon2872]

Very nice layout,organized. Yes, plant those tomato volunteers, it's always a nice surprise at what it is. Great tomatoe setup.

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Thanks! OK I will go for it and transplant them. Wish me luck 👍😁

[@WanieB]

Im gonna try growing my squash and zucchini on a tomato cage. A friend seen it is a better way to tend the plants and see the harvest. great garden ideas, thank you for the post.

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Good luck! Glad you liked the video :)

[@gonzomcanarchy4744]

You're very intelligent and I have really loved watching this take shape. It would be a benefit to us all if you figured out a square foot garden that will produce most of the vitamin and some of the caloric needs for 2 people, especially if you did a collaboration with a chef and made recipes for it all... Much love!

[@SmallGardenQuest]

In my garden I went with vegetables that are the most expensive in the supermarket or that the taste is much much better if home grown. I didn't look at vitamins and calories. But what you see is more than enough for two

[@debrajean9432]

I really like the layout of your square foot garden. I've always wanted to grow a vegetable garden, but I live in a condo with no land.

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Do you have a balcony?

[@debrajean9432]

@@SmallGardenQuest I do have a nice-sized concrete patio. I've been considering getting two or three of those long galvanized water troughs to grow a salad garden.

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Go for it 😊 you would be surprised

Noted!

[@beautyforashes2230]

That trellis is beautiful, and you have a wonderful garden! I grow in regular beds, but like you I don't like to have "miniature monocultures" and each variety of plant grows in many different places, except for corn which I plant in blocks for the pollination. I think it looks much nicer to have a good mix of plants in a bed, it's better for the soil, and I can plant a LOT more food that way.

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Also I think that the pests are confused when they can't find one big spot with the crop that they like 😊 and a garden that has some mixed plants looks more natural in my opinion 😊

[@beautyforashes2230]

@@SmallGardenQuest Both good points, and I agree. :)

[@DiFish-z6n]

I enjoy your videos. You inspire me. I am copying your garden! This will be my first garden in a long long time. I’m curious where you and your garden are located, and what growing zone your in. Thanks 😊

Fabulous video, Stay connected! like 72

[@letsgrowtexas7391]

I feel you on not living where your garden is, but mine is only about 7 min away!!

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Yes sometimes is hard but the love is greater and I adapt my gardening style to my specifics

[@gonzomcanarchy4744]

Also have you tried hay for mulch instead of bark chips?

[@SmallGardenQuest]

I used hay in two of my raised beds yes. They work practically the same 😊 the only difference is that with hay you get a little bit more weeds

[@gonzomcanarchy4744]

And check out bokashi compost method

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Thanks. I already know about bokashi but in my opinion is not worth it. Compost should be free 😊
