[@becca4736]

Knowing when to plant is the hardest part of growing. Your channel has helped solve the mystery. Thanks for the tips.

[@CharlesDowding1nodig]

Thanks Becca and yes, timing can make all the difference

[@terryfennell3331]

This is true for me also

[@riverstun]

Yes; I'm starting to get it also. Here, it gets hot very fast, and I have had huge problems trying to get food before the thing runs to flower. For example, it's the beginning of March here, and my Mizuna, winter radish, rocket, fennel and more are flowering. The answer (for me) appears to be to plant most biennials after midsummer and to just not try to grow them as a spring crop. Problem there of course is that the summer is insanely hot here, which is why I generally waited for early winter to sow cool weather crops. So I have some tinkering about to do, but trying to get these things into the ground so that they do their storing up for the next flowering season thing done before midwinter seems to be the way to go here. E.g., got some nice turnips harvested in mid-Jan. On the plus side, my chillis are overwintering outside (and producing fruit now) and my kale is a perennial crop. So - key point is that you need to note when your veg typically start bolting, and aim to have your plants ready to harvest before that time. Once you know this, you can start to plan your replanting schemes.

[@karensterling5246]

I’m pleased that in the beginning of this video you spoke of the insects and their reason for being in the garden. We’ve been taught to think of them as pests that damage crops therefore we need to get rid of them. Everything has a purpose in nature and we don’t know what they are sometimes. When we don’t know things we make assumptions and decide that they’re not worth living. It’s the same premise as when flies start hovering around something that’s decaying. They’re present before we notice them and it’s due to a deficiency or the demise of something. They aren’t there to just eat our crops. The different insects, when we take time to understand them, are there because they have sensed a deficiency that we aren’t yet aware of.

Zone 8!! I wish! Here in southern Quebec (zone 4) I start everything indoors, in February and March, when there's still 3 feet of snow on my garden, and the earth is still frozen solid until April and sometimes May! I still do manage to get two, sometimes three harvests of brassicas. I've sometimes planted onion seedlings in the top three inches of unfrozen earth. I'm so envious of you being able to garden 12 months a year!

[@CharlesDowding1nodig]

Thanks for the info Elise, sounds a hectic summer for you and I am impressed by 2-3 brassica crops at least.

[@mytuberisapotato7830]

It would be very nice to live in his climate and have his expertise! I live in north central Alberta, zone 4ish and I'm always trying to push the season, this year because of covid19 ive had more time to get creative and plan on building some poly tunels over my raised beds, which have been defrosting this week at about 4 inches in some ares, I have started some potatoes, carrots, peas, brassica all in comfortable pots made with newspaper or egg cartons that I will plant without removing into my covered beds. We will see! My hope is by using paper I can grow things I would have direct sown if I lived in a warmer area and plant out without damaging roots. I've also selected fast growing varieties of cold hardy veg.

[@shakengrain1942]

Brrrrr! Zone 4. But every zone has plusses and minuses. Zone 8 here, deep south Atlantic state. Many things we cannot grow in summer 80/90/100 degree temps for 3-5 months each year. Too hot for many berries, fruits, garlics, onions, even flowers like peonies suffer. No brassicas in hottest months. But we can grow SOMETHING usually for 10 months out of the year. Usually kales, etc., will overwinter if started earlier in fall.

I call it puppies and kitten syndrome. Thanks for all the great teachings, and just the joy of visiting the thriving gardens.

[@RandiBrenneman80]

I've watched several of these videos and admired that wooden tool for making holes. So much that I paused this video midway and googled what it is called, searching for where to buy or how to make one but never finding one that length. So I concluded that I could probably make one from a replacement or broken shovel handle. I spent about 15 minutes on this tangent only to come back and unpause the video to hear "I use this dibber, a long handled dibber like this, just a spade handle rounded off at the end..."

[@CharlesDowding1nodig]

Happy to hear that Stuart

[@PickledPoacher]

I have also heard of people using physical barriers. Eg sides to any planting beds. Lots of root pests fly extremely low to the floor. Air pressure prevents them pulling up and so using barriers around crops like carrots prevent the fly having easy access to your plants. Essentially the root fly hits the lower part of above ground leaf material .from here, they crawl down the leaf crowns burrowing in to the root of the crop. If we can reduce access, we might avoid the damage entirely and without extra cost and labour ;-)

[@markhedger6378]
