[@benjismith593]

Subbed! You are correct about all of these. I would add cucumbers to this list. Can get a bush type or ones that climb all over. Plus if you live in a hot climate then okra. Gray striped Sunflowers as well. Just remember if you do basil , don't let it go to flower. I had one big plant last year, and it was hard to keep up! Be ready to dehydrate lots of it for spice jars!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Thanks so much Benji! Definitely right about the flowering....totally changes the taste of any herb! Do you dehydrate yours in a machine or just air dry?

[@aquaseahorselove3939]

For me personally herbs are the easiest thing to grow. Rosemary in particular, the hardiest of all the herbs. Hot peppers 🌶 are the 2nd easiest thing for me to grow. I live in zone 9b and they are the only garden veggie that can survive the scorching hot summers where I’m at. Marigolds are also very easy, they’re edible and delicious in salads, plus they’re a great insect deterrent, as is rosemary. Cherry tomatoes come in next as being very easy and hardy. I have been unsuccessful in trying to grow anything that vines. Peas, cucumbers, etc. Squashes are also hard, you need the plants and conditions just right to get pollination going or have to have the knowledge of being able to hand pollinate them yourself. So complicated. My favorite herb is thai basil, I always grow tons of it and propagate it throughout the year. Very easy. I just recently stumbled upon the herb pineapple mint and I think I’m in love. 🍍🌿 I’m going to make mango salsa with it.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Herbs for sure. Anything quick growing like that..less room for error! :-)

Hi fellow 9B gardener! I’m in the Bay Area. I’ve had good luck with artichokes but not in full sun! Yes the cherry tomatoes are easy here for me too. So delicious. Happy gardening!!

One plant I plan on growing every year are scarlet runner beans. Last year the deer just chomped away at them and all they did was grow taller and produce more!!

Yum.

Your videos are great. Super informative. I have grown a lot of crops successfully over the years and learned what did and didn't work for my soil type in my area. However, I have moved and I now have more of a clay based soil so I've been looking for as many ideas as possible to get back to growing my own stuff. Your videos have given me some ideas on how to grow the stuff I want again without risking losing the plants. I think building my own structures to plant in is going to be my best option. Keep it up!

For the people who lives in tropical/hot climate location, I'll pick EGGPLANTS. I have grown many types, shapes, colors...so far they're never failed. They are much easier to take care than tomatoes and chilies IME (in my experience). 😆👍❤ Also cassava and corn...basically just stick/sow them in my backyard and they will thrive without any care at all (unless your area has lots of pests and terrible soil conditions, I guess).

I like to grow pumpkin mainly for the leaves they taste so good cooked, it's like a better spinach and has it's own unique texture and taste of more than spinach, any root vegetable is also nice and easy, carrots, potatoes. Cucumber leaves are also edible similair to pumpkin leaves

Cheers Sue... That can definitely be challenging.. I would prune only up to September.. Water heavily before first frost, and mulch like no tomorrow!

Sue, I’m in 6b/5a (we lean more towards 6b these days..) and I’ve had good luck with Arp Rosemary outdoors in a well draining rock wall. I don’t think they can handle cold wet feet at all. Also, I just discovered how easy Rosemary cuttings are, which really is fantastic insurance. Hope that helps!

Hi there, can you grown herbs in water in your home, on your kitchen window. All year round? What about a lemon tree and avocado tree (just starting, haven’t got a stem yet), thanks.

Hey Sandra, many herbs can grow (for a limited time) in water....eventually though, all plants need soil. Water cannot sustain them long enough to get crops from them. :-)

[@jonathan_r_lee92]

Got into gardening for the first time in 2020 and I grew a determinate bush variety tomato for my first vegetable. It was so exciting to grow them from seed but I did make the mistake of planting them in June when our temperatures were 95°F+ for the highs. Because of that, they almost didn't make it out of the seedling stage and didn't really start to make much progress until I learned about giving them some sun protection. I didn't have shade cloth but I did use grip shelf liners that you can get cheap from a dollar store. It blocked out enough sun to protect them during the hot days while letting in just enough sunlight for them to utilize. They ended up reaching maturity and producing fruit for me though I only got about 20 mature fruits from them. The fall came and made our temperatures too cool for those fruits to ripen on the vine so I had to do the old putting them in a paper bag with a couple of apple's trick to ripen them. After about a week, they ripened and I took the seeds out of three of those fruits, and on the first of April, I planted some of those seeds. Every single one of them germinated and they are about to grow their second set of true leaves currently as I write this, while looking as green and healthy as ever.

Hi from the UK! I am a new, but enthusiastic veggie grower. Can you tell me if it is necessary to fertilise seedlings? I have read conflicting views on this, so not sure how to proceed. Many thanks for your videos. 😀

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Hey Christina, thanks for watching! Brand new seeds contain all the plant needs for at least a week plus....after that, the plant will begin to use light to pull nutrients from the substrate. So at 2 weeks of age, the soil should have some nutrition in it for the young plants moving forward. :-)

I would add potatoes, sunchokes, and horseradish. Potatoes are cold resistant, can be planted before your last frost date, and do not require a lot of water. Sunchokes grow massive flower stalks, spread like weeds, and have the highest yield of any tuber crop I've grown. Horseradish can be grown from store bought roots, they are highly pest resistant, and the leaves are edible. Be warned, if you plant sunchokes or horseradish at any time, you will never get rid of them ever.
