Summer Garden TOUR | July Edition | 2022

I don't think I've done a proper "garden tour" video with you guys yet this year. The heat this summer has been relentless, and the humidity - oh man. But not much rain to go with it all, so we've been watering just about every other day with an overhead sprinkler. We'll go through the bed today one by one and check in on each one of our crops as we go. For the most part, it's full of success stories - minus a few carrots and peas I lost to flooding in the early spring months.

With all you surprise volunteers, you’ll have a nice fresh stash to eat from next year! You took care of the garden for the last 6 years. In your year of rest, the garden will take care of you.

[@lisapop5219]

I literally just came in to take a break and got this notification. The garden looks beautiful! I'm knee deep in pulling tomato plants, harvesting peppers and later it will be Bush beans, cukes, summer squash and hopefully some pole beans. Oh and one bag of potatoes look ready. I was sick so everything went wild lol. So lots of weed pulling too. Then comes the fun part of putting it all up. Happy gardening from Georgia!

I live in Nova Scotia and your garden is so far ahead of my area. By the time I am harvesting my first tomato crop you will have all of yours harvested and processed. I love to see other .people’s gardens. I so enjoyed your video and all your wisdom that you share. You have taught me so much Rachel

[@Stapletonhomestread_Ohio]

Those beets!! I have resolved myself to making smoothies with small roots, stems and leaves. I too struggle, but those give me hope. I'll keep trying! Beautiful garden!

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

[@conniemcgehee2851]

your garden looks so healthy and productive! i’m jealous

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Another beautiful garden, Rachel! Even when you think it’s neglected, somehow yours always looks amazing.

[@leeannandrews932]

Looks much much better than mine it's just been to hot here

[@marking-time-gardens]

Blessings on your day Kiddos! So humbling to meet you yesterday at MIgardener... you both are so sweet and precious! Your garden is looking awesome. Thank you for the great garden tour. Blessings from Holland Ohio 🥰🌻🐛🌼

[@prlywhip]

Thank you! I love the sound of the leaves in the background. The trees are talking. It reminds me of nature. I live in the city. You have a wonderful garden, Rachel. Much love.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

It is nature.

[@jenniferrosario1489]

Rachel the malabar spinach does very good here in the tropic. There are two varieties: green and red. Let the "fruit" dry and you'll have seeds for next season. You can grow them in a basket and let it Vine down

[@loriy7532]

Hey Rachel , Fantastic garden you have going on , every thing is so lovely. Your Malabar spinach is really hopping , I have never seen such a lush beautiful plant, bravo..... I believe the Malabar is from India , does very well in hot weather.

[@thegardnersgarden]

The garden is looking so lovely. I'm always amazed by what you two can accomplish even while having busy lives.

[@Greens5511]

Oh my that sunshine smile at the end says it all! You are happy in your garden....the grasses did not steal your joy! Good for you!!! I love that you see and mention the positive! Great job editing at the end...that was beautiful!!!

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Look at all that bounty! If that's what comes from not having as much time in the garden, I'm trying that next time! 😁

[@jaynemar1]

Garden is fabulous as alway! Corn looks great! Love the bright pink coneflowers! Last fall planted 2 heads of the garlic you gave me when you came for the bees! Harvested them, couldn’t resist! Hubby came home from his travels and commented how garlicky the garage smells… Still waiting for them to dry a bit more before tasting them in fried potatoes! Michigan Garden Girl

[@kekiplus1andonly]

This garden is very beautiful👑👑🎉🎊🎊🙌🙌

Beautiful garden as always! It was great meeting you and Todd yesterday!!

[@bethweekley931]

So beautiful! I wish I could have you sit down with me and plan a garden lol. We are going to try and start a no till garden for next year and don't even know where to begin! It's all so daunting. Beautiful, beautiful! 💜

[@suedalimonte7863]

[@angelap7342]

Your garden looks really good this year! Congratulations on a beautiful space where the plants are happy which makes you happy! Happy Gardening!

[@nancyvonseggern1280]

It's bitter sweet to harvest. Love the look of my garden full of growing thriving produce. Once harvest begins it looks so bare. But the yumminess!!!

[@growingagardener6770]

The garden is looking wonderful! It's getting me excited for the upcoming season. We are in Australia so are just getting organised now for the coming spring :D

[@conniealmeida3373]

Wow what a beautiful garden and love to hear the wind blowing through the trees. 🌻🥬🌽🥕🌶🫑🥒

[@rangertherambler9813]

Rachel! Your Gardens are always Amazing, I have small plots around my home, and am working towards hopefully creating larger gardens over time, it really helps to see how everything is going in your garden as we are pretty close in SE MI. Thank you for taking the time to share and educate

[@tinareid4863]

I'm super excited this year...it will be my 1st successful beet harvest of any size. Can't wait to make my pickled beets!

[@robinmcmillen7917]

Oh Rachel you garden is beautiful

[@juliewilliamsnewzealand818]

Rachel you look so relaxed in this video - it is lovely to see :) xxx

[@janfelshaw8217]

I struggle with growing beets too. Your garden looks beautiful.

[@kareneakers9540]

Your garden looks so beautiful and bountiful! You really are gonna be busy for a good while! 😊

[@3rdtimesafarm]

We are in the beginning of our homesteading journey. I love learning how you do it ALL!

[@sallyboothe911]

Garden looks beautiful. Don’t you just love all the volunteers 😄 I wanted to tell you I made your spaghetti sauce this weekend. Tastes amazing. Blessings y’all

[@rainspringing]

So glad to see someone explain when to pick Malabar spinach, and to really be clear that the flavor isn't awful. Someone else kept mentioning the mucilaginous nature, then described the flavor as not too bad. Which didn't sound appealing in the slightest. Mine lived and breathed entirely unharmed all last year. All I could think was, I'm really not wanting slimy bitter spinach for dinner. lol Thanks, maybe I'll be brave enough to try eating them now. (The volunteers!)

[@marlajowens]

Your garden is awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful success!

[@deborahrusignuolo7612]

Omg, it all looks great. This was my 1st year planting a few things and I have mixed reviews about starters. I think I will start from seeds next year. Thank you so much for your tips. God Bless!

[@debbiealtman4572]

Wonderful garden Rachael. TFS.

A beautiful garden. Those onions look great!

[@marshavonderwish5811]

Your garden is a happy place! Thanks for sharing.

[@pennywojahn1078]

I have a very old recipe for yellow cucumbers Slippery Jacks from my Grandma

[@lorashepard8933]

I'm so happy for you! I'm in West Michigan and my plants are maybe 1/3 the size of yours. First time of planting at this location and nothing is doing well. We found out that for years loads of cars were located there. We are trying to amend the soil. We just added 13-13-13 hoping that it will help. We have started a composting area. Mulched with straw planted in late May early June. We're going to cover everything this fall but if you can give us any suggestions on what we can do to help fix the soil. We aren't using raised beds it's strictly in ground. I have done so much work on it, it's heart breaking

[@robinsullivan6043]

Your garden is much farther along than mine. We really enjoyed meeting you both in St. Clair!

[@larrybair2029]

Absolutely beautiful !

[@normalizedaudio2481]

Huge tomato harvest

It all looks so good! Congratulations!

All your hard work has been rewarded, good job.

[@hunterswife2786]

Awesome very bountiful!!

[@donnasmith5697]

Your garden is doing beautifully! We’re in Alabama and the Malabar spinach grows wonderfully here. It can take this heat and self seeds-what more could you ask for?

[@crystalmchugh3058]

Wow your garden is so beautiful. But your pepper plants are the best I have never seen a pepper plant look so healthy and full of peppers. Aside from an ornamental or Tabasco. So gorgeous

[@dorriwaldera3081]

I love my volunteer sunflowers and dill, and garlic? If not interfering with other stuff, I let it grow as it goes. Thanks for sharing!

[@catracampolieto8989]

Will you show the beets and carrots being harvested? I love beets too. Mine did good this year. Some nice sized ones like the one you showed.

[@lynsmith2698]

Your garden looks fab. The photography of the flowers is spectacular. We are in zone 3 so a little behind you. However the cabbage in my greenhouse is ready to harvest. So making sauerkraut today. Happy gardening to u too 🌷🇨🇦

[@vernlb1759]

Hi, an awesome video, love the excitement you have showing off your lovely productive garden. Happy gardening from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Beautiful garden! In regards to growing sweet potato, even I'm in zone 3 and we can grow them here as long as you grow them in pots and start them early. I basically only have 100 or less days of growing season.
