Dont give tomatoes for your dog, can be toxic! Amazing video guys, love you!

[@Ursula.canada]

@@rymns from American kennel club: Can Dogs Eat Tomatoes? The answer is yes and no. Dogs can eat tomatoes but only in small amounts. Ripe tomatoes are considered nontoxic to dogs and can be fed in moderation as an occasional snack. While it’s considered safe for dogs to eat red, ripe tomatoes, the plants themselves are part of the nightshade family of vegetables (which also include potatoes, bell peppers, and blueberries). There are toxins in tomato plants that can harm your dog. Solanine and its cousin tomatine are toxins found mostly in the green parts of the tomato plant. That means that your dog should never ingest the leaves and stems of tomato plants and should avoid young, green tomatoes. Ingesting an unripe (green) tomato or any of the green parts of the tomato can lead to symptoms of tomatine poisoning.

As an editor and publisher I can say unequivocally that Melissa is absolutely correct. It is "each side" not "either side". Think of it like this, these words are partners: "either/or" and "neither/nor" and represent "options" of one OR the other. Yes, "both sides" works as well. Love you guys! ❤

Yes. You can park your car on either side of the street. Each side is perfectly acceptable. However you can't park your car on each side as you only have the one car. You must park on either side.

I love watching you guys in the garden! I started my first garden this year here in NJ at 57 yrs old it was a lot of fun a few mistakes haha but a great learning experience. I did potato’s and sweet potatoes which was so much fun to harvest ! My watermelons were fun too. I wish you could teach us newbies more on the channel❤

[@joyceterra2265]

Just a couple of tips: lettuce you can cut the leaves off one inch from the soil and they will grow back. Arugula is a permanent crop. If you cut it one inch from the soil it will grow back each year. It does start to dwindle around 5 years and ready for a new planting. I live in a 40 degree below climate and they come back strong. Lol Melissa you are correct. It is each side and either means one or the other. Either you do or you don't. Love the discussions.😂

[@KR-ke4lz]

I want to make a suggestion on the greenhouse you are planning on building. Have you thought about building an in ground greenhouse? I have one that is four feet in the ground and it is amazing! I can grow tomatoes in it from April-November, when my normal growing season is only mid June-mid September. My neighbor has an above ground and it still freezes later in the spring and earlier in the fall. The ground in my greenhouse never freezes. The ground outside is usually frozen soild November through March here. That is quite the difference. I have done a little winter gardening with greens. They didn't grow much during the coldest months, but they lived and I had beautiful greens extra early with a covered box inside the greenhouse. Just a suggestion to look into this type of greenhouse, you won't be disappointed. Just be aware that too deep can block light on the south side.

[@azad-11]

That is a great suggestion. 👏👍

[@i.r.wayright1457]

Melissa, you reminded me of a you tube short yesterday with your "either" or "both" to Jeremey. A young woman was looking at her husband's phone list of contacts. She said, "Who is this name "Jumper cables?" He replied, "That's you, I changed your name." Her, "Well, why did you change it to jumper cables?" Him, "Because you're always starting something." The look on her face was priceless.

[@Anncheryl61]

Loved your garden tour!! I've been so busy harvesting our garden and orchard. It's so much work but it's wonderful having the preserves come winter❤❤

Melissa is correct regarding the either/each usage. The shower looks fantastic and I was dubious about the grout being so close to the tile color, but I was wrong! Y'all are officially tile pros!

Those giant zucchinis are great for putting meatloaf into. Just slice off near one end scoop out the seeds, fill up with meat loaf. Re attach end piece with toothpicks. Put in oven at 350°F for an hour or so, been a while since I've done it myself so time and temp are approximate. After cooked just slice like a loaf of bread and enjoy... Love your content.

[@jessicanicolebelmonte6252]

Suggestions for the giant pumpkins: Back in the 1970s and 1980s we used to can the pumpkin cut in cubes of approximately 1cm covered in lemon juice and sugar water. It made a delicious desert. Mashed pumpkin makes a very good filler for jams. Especially with very sour fruits using mashed pumpkin as a filler greatly reduces the amount of sugar needed for the final product.

[@tommybucher4347]

The reason "on either side" is used instead of "on both sides" is that "either" implies a choice between two distinct options, whereas "both" simply indicates the presence of two things. Using "either" can give the phrase a slightly more nuanced or flexible meaning, even though the ultimate meaning is the same.

I like the "DeLorean" grey grout. It lets the subtle color variations of the tiles set the mood - not TOO uniform, but not too contrasty. Good choice IMHO. I see both when I mean both!

[@gregference1714]

As found in Google, 'Either' can only refer to one of two options: "He can sit at either end of the table" (i.e. He can chose to sit at one end or the other - but not both together). 'Each' is an equal and joint reference to all: “There are chairs at each end of the table”

[@terryhenderson424]

Are ypu low on potassium in your garden soil? Maybe ph is off?

[@terryhenderson424]

Consider seed shaking that arugula on the edge of wood stands or other places where it might grow unattended, or not. Pollinators seem to really like arugula flowers; especially the early season ones. I would imagine deer would like the arugula its self. Again, the key here is unattended and if it doesn't survive or thrive, the seeds and/ or plants just add some conpost goodness.

[@heidipustelniak652]

@@terryhenderson424 Because the native soil is so alkaline here, it actually fizzes if you put vinegar on it! 🤪 I use container gardening. I buy a good quality potting soil, compost, and fertilizer…. I think our 100+ temperatures all summer stresses the plants. Even though my garden is covered in shade cloth once the temperatures get to 95 here… Things still get pretty stressed. I do look forward to cold weather crops, those do well all winter, since we only have 2 or 3 really cold nights most winters.

[@donaldpuetz4457]

Melissa and Jeramy. Next planting season plant pole beans or butter beans at the same time you plant your sunflowers. Three plants at the base of each one. As the beans grow you can remove leaves on the stalks. You should have beans until the first frost. I forgot you will need a ladder to pick them late in the year.

We didn’t get anything except a few Jalapeños, 2 bell peppers and a few tomatoes. It looked like the plants were growing but they never grew flowers or the ones that did have flowers didn’t grow female flowers. It’s so frustrating I don’t understand what we did wrong.

Following religion is what YAHUAH is talking about when He says come out of her my people in the bible. Religion doesn't teach His true word. The Holy Spirit is what leads us to truth, I preach to people to listen to the Holy Spirit and not just man. Not one time does he say to follow religion in the bible.

I experienced the same issue with Burpee Blue Lake green bean seeds. I planted two rows, and less than half of the plants were bush beans. The majority were pole beans. Unless picked when young, the pole beans are stringy, so I quit picking them. Fortunately, I planted a 3rd row of green beans of a different variety (Provider), and they have done very well. I gave some away to family and friends, and also put some in the freezer. If I would have planted the other two rows with the same variety, I would have had a ton of green beans! (Another plus this year is the bug damage has been very minor. Some years, the bugs chew on nearly every bean ruining the crop.) Btw, one of my neighbors had the same issue with pole beans when he thought he had planted bush beans. Somebody at Burpee messed up big time!
