Thank you for sharing. We are planning our spring garden now. Like you, I plan to document my journey with the family. We are in zone 7A.

[@diondracoleman8735]

That's so cool,lol Hummingbird!

[@donnam4260]

Novice gardener here As you walk n chat … I’m listening … and learning 🌷🌷🌷

[@raynbowbryght]

Hi Ms Asia! I can’t say this enough, I love both of your channels. You are always so informative and entertaining. I can’t wait to start my garden next Spring. I tried to grow Shishito peppers but I was not successful. You make them sound so tasty. 😂 I pray both of your channels grow and you don’t have to worry working for someone else. Thank you for all that you do! Jessyca from STL, MO.

[@SimpleNFree3]

Ditto to that...❤ her channels too❗️

[@NettieBahtYah]

Shalom sis.😊 Now that I've found your specific channel. Im a follower. Yah bless and keep you.

[@tannicejeanpierre6421]

Thank you for this. You make this look so easy that I tend to forget how much you’ve grown and learned. Keep it up! You’re an inspiration.

[@dianahowell8131]

The pak choy “is for the streets”! Hilarious! I’m excited for you too Asia and indeed, the garden teaches us to not give up and never loose hope. I’m so enjoying that you have more time now to spend with us. You’re doing good work.

[@SimpleNFree3]

Yeh, that was a Good One...'This one is for those streets'. 🤣

[@barbaramcnair5463]

😮Strawberry plants can root in your mulch as it breaks down. Makes it easier to transplant/re-pot since there is no soil.

[@tomikiawells6780]

Long time no see or comment, life be lifeing😊. So glad to view this video and I'll be going on a binge since i have a vacation coming in about 10 days, I'm so ready to catch up on Asia's videos as we're in the same grow zone I take notes for the future. Thanks for all you share 💕

[@NicoleSmithGardening]

You are broccoli rich! 💚

[@paulettemayfield8171]

Your garden looks awesome!

[@LauraLeighsLogicalLiving]

Hey Asia. I'm in 7B in Baltimore, and I also opted out of cutting back my asparagus ferns this Fall. We have had the most mild and actually warm weather, so they are still mostly green. I don't cover either, and just try to plant based on the season. We're so blessed in the mid-Atlantic to have the opportunity to garden year round. Happy gardening!

[@carleanr4051]

Mine are still up as well lol

[@txLALA]

Great tour. 🌱💚

[@lindaminor1985]

I loooooove hummingbirds 🎉❤

[@erikacarter]

Hi Asia! Hope friend is doing good. The fall garden is looking good and thriving.🤗

[@grateful_sojourner]

I love how honest you are its refreshing to see here. You always put a smile on my face thank you! You inspire me on my lil homestead. ☺️ ❤

[@the5-starreview871]

I love your spirit

[@carleanr4051]

Very nice tour, Asia. Everything is looking good. Maaannn, you got a lot of broccoli lol. I'm lovin' the 'bounce back' garden! 😃

[@Ncole3495]

I appreciate your videos.

[@scotlandtreasures4618]

Wonderful news to know you’re in the same area as myself I will definitely watch all your videos 😊I’m planning to start my garden 🪴 in March 2025 but I’m preparing 😅 because I’m recovering from a terrible ankle break and surgery😔

Your garden is looking good. Show us how to make the comfrey tea❤

Love your Fall garden!!! Going to attempt to grow a Fall garden 2025. Love your spin on how you grow in your zone and garden. Going to try growing in bags in 2025.

Yay another beautiful garden tour good afternoon Asia and friends 🥰

[@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead]

Hi Charlotte! Thank you! 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾

SHALOM. KEEP GARDENING YELLOW DOOR URBAN HOMESTEAD. I'M SO IMPRESSED. I REALLY ENJOY YOUR COMMENTARY.

[@Nina-rg5gm]

You are a ray of sunshine to watch and I’m learning so much from you. Thank you!

[@hezekiahsparrow8607]

Hello Asia. I am loving the look of the garden. I got several good harvest from my tree collards. Then the army worms took over. I actually sprayed one of them with BT and it bounced back. I didn’t realize that if you cut it off like you did that it would grow new shoots. It is way too tall and mostly a tall stem with collards at the top I will be cutting it back this weekend. I’m in zone 9 in Louisiana. I can pretty much grow year round as well. Yours is truly the “bounce back” beautiful, do your own thing garden. 👩🏽‍🌾 🪴 🌱🙏🏾♥️🕊️

[@jamaica5930]

Loving your videos & enthusiasm! A hint that helped me: onion & chive leaves are “round” & hollow, while garlic & leek & garlic chive leaves are flat.

[@virginiaallisonpeck2517]

hey darlin, you and your garden are looking so good ❤❤❤

[@barbbrownlee9188]

Hello Asia! Awesome beautiful, bountiful garden tour, tips, and more! 👍 Thanks for sharing! 💖 Blessings to you and family!🌹 🦋11/20/2024🦋

[@alice_rabbit8345]

I’m in PA and grew “Lunchbox Peppers” this year. There were some that turned red and started to dry. I did a chop and drop so I’ll see if the seeds germinate next year!

[@HectorHilva]

I LOVE your garden tours! ❤ There is ALWAYS something going on in the garden! 🥰🌺🐛

[@juanitamarshall285]

Hey Asia 😊 Thanks for being you . Letting people know that it's okay to create your own reality to march to your own 🥁. You understood the lesson, only you can make you happy. I watch both of your channels. Keep smiling and living your best life. You are a great mother. 😊

[@rachelrosalez5807]

So happy to find your channel! I’m in Central Virginia and worked my first garden this summer. This really helps me get my plans together for next year. Thank you 🪴

[@SimplyEatHealthy]

Beautiful!

[@sharonmaresh]

I'm now living vicariously through you. LOL! 😂 I'm envious of your gardening all year. Currently, in Minnesota, it is 27°, it's snowing and my garden is buried in the cold white stuff. The high today I believe will be 30°. So I'll just visit YOUR happy place. Thank you! 😊

[@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead]

Lol I’m happy to be able to still share! O my goodness 27°! Stay warm, spring is coming! You’re welcome and thank you for watching! 🤗

[@lindaminor1985]

Have you ever tried a grow tent? It was designed, originally, for cannabis. You can grow from seed to harvest INSIDE. it gives me so much joy in our long winters. I live 20 miles from Buffalo, NY. Yep, cold. Grow tents come in all sizes, hope you give it a try❤

[@sharonmaresh]

@lindaminor1985 thank you for the tip. I'll have to check into it. 🙂

[@rebeccacory6569]

Lazy Dog Farms raises figs. Has lots of info on them. If I remember correctly, speckled brown leaf is a deficiency, but will not hurt the figs. Just needs something. Check him out.

[@jujubee7351]

Your garden tour was a good one! I love the tips and the whys as you went along each plant! I’ve never seen a Basil plant so tall! I notice the bees on the Basil In the fall also . Great video

[@muniondalenewyurk6777]

Hi Asia, I live in Long Island, New York which is zone 7B. This Fall has been wonderfully and unusually warm, and we didn’t have our first frost yet, because it’s in the 60’s during the day and 40’s-50’s at night. This is my second year gardening (retired at 60 last year), but my first Fall gardening. Thanks to your nonchalant demeanor and advice , I learned to enjoy gardening and not take failures too seriously (“that’s fine “ 😅😂). I am growing collards, spinach, carrots, bok Choy, bush beans , broccoli and bush peas. I did attempt to grow honey nut squash , after 2 months the squash vine borer got to them 😢! But I do have three honey nut squash that I am ripening in the house! 😁🙌🏾 I’m starting to see the broccoli crowns emerging and I’m very excited (kept netted all Fall). So I understand your excitement when you see your garden has survived from the worms, insects , squirrels ect 😅😂

[@lillieflakes7716]

Hi Asia, l have been viewing your videos for a short time, and l have been enjoying your way of gardening. Thank you for sharing. The first thing l tried to grow on my small back steps was garlic and I did good. I watched you talk about kohirabi and you like them as fries what do they taste like ...? Since the type of vegetable it is . I hope they were good and l am looking forward for more of your recipes on your kohirabi .😊😊😊❤

[@angelacalloway8125]

The hummingbird is everything, I have about 6 or 7 that comes to my feeders every year. Haven’t seen any lately though. I love them.

[@LGGGlove]

Beautiful Tour

[@MsJKGardener]

Asia, I’m always amazed how your garden looks after you dig into it! Fabulous! And a healthy respect for the ecosystem. Great’❤

[@Mbusowabalondo]

Thank you for inviting us to share the beauty of your garden ❤❤🙏🙏

[@melindah1418]

Asia I'm so happy to see that the garden is bouncing back beautifully. I have hummingbirds visiting my yard, I don't use pesticides on my plants either, I don't want to harm the pollinators💖💚🌹🤗

[@Lotuselementskincare]

Because of you, I’ve grown my own kohlrabi. I’m excited to make some “kohlrabi fries”

[@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead]

O yay! I hope you enjoy them! I’ll be having some this week.

Thank you! O nice! I’m sure they were delicious!

[@emkn1479]

Do your hummingbirds leave for the winter? Ours do, but I left the feeders up in case there are any stragglers. Salvia is their favorite but ours are long gone. First frost, snow tomorrow, guess it’s finally time to bring the feeders in and clean them for winter 😂 can’t wait to see them in April! 🥲

[@donnahoffman1855]

What a wonderful hour enjoying your garden! Thank you!

[@jamaica5930]

Don’t worry (yet!) about your apple trees not producing- did you know that different tree varieties have different lifespans? Like peaches start declining after 20ish years, while some apples live for 100+ years… so it makes sense that apples (& pears) tend to take more years to mature to the age of fruit production… also don’t worry if that 1st apple doesn’t taste good- the flavor improves over the years as well - I’ve noticed that with my grapes too- every year they taste better! It’s another fruit that lives a looonnngg time!

[@TashiaPlants]

Love it. After the week I’ve have it’s nice to relax and think on the plants.❤

[@sounditout34]

I looked up holly tone for berry bushes but I also saw berry tone. Why do you use one over the other?? I really appreciate your view on growing and letting nature do its thing. I am in zone 7b in NC so this I super helpful for me.

[@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead]

Hi 👋🏾! Honest truth, I haven’t ever heard of Berrytone. When I first put them in I watched a video of someone using Hollytone and it worked so I’ve been using it ever since. I use it to acidify the soil I hadn’t paid attention to any nutrients it may provide though. My bushes are full every year so I hadn’t looked into any other options. I hope this helped. O we aren’t too far from each other!

[@sounditout34]

@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead it absolutely helps. Thank you

[@dianahowell8131]

@@sounditout34if you are talking about the Espoma Tones, they are all good and have mostly the same ingredients with emphasis on the things needed for the named particular plants on the labeling. There is a tone for everything. The PlantTone is more of an all-purpose fertilizer. Any of the Tones by Espoma are great products. Once you start using them, you won’t want to use anything else, and you can use any that you have on any plant. It won’t hurt the plant. I use the Bio-Tone, which is a root starter every time I plant. Hoped that helped.

[@DEVORAHRIBOFASA]

Shalom Ms.Asia, how you doing?Praying all is well with you and yours. Loved your tour. I didn't realize that you did three methods. I do remember, your little stick, it does look very strong. Your garden is simply gorgeous. Oh my goodness, I about fallout when I saw the humming bird. They are my favorite bird. They make me feel like the Most High God, is saying hello😊. I have a cartoon logo picture on yt page. Umm, question have you ever considered planting marigolds. They are great for premaculture and they are edible 😋. Well, Thank you once again for the tour. Loving both channels, still awesome energy and pleasantries. Have yourself a beautiful amazing blessed day. Shalom

[@emkn1479]

I get terrible asparagus beetles, so I remove the ferns. They are very hard to hand collect, as they drop to the ground when you look for them. I also wonder if they overwinter in the soil because sometimes spears come out of the ground looking gnawed on. What worked for me was using tanglefoot on a green garden stake. Fooled the beetles and they were stuck. I will be repeating that technique every year! Just moved most of our very established asparagus patch and good lord was that a struggle…thankful for rain today to settle them in.

[@jennifercaskie3895]

I had a volunteer potato come up. I pulled it out because I was not sure it was a potato. One potato was hanging on. I put it back in the dirt. That has been 4 weeks ago and it is living and I hope making potatoes. I remember you had a volunteer. Do you remember how many potatoes you got off of it?

What kind of comfrey you get and where? I had some true comfrey once that for some reason died out

[@lindaminor1985]

Asia, i hope you do front yard orchard and pruning and care for trees. I have 5 apples, 2 cherries, 2 peaches, and 8 pears. I get lots of small pears. That's all❤😂 HELP😂 LOVE YOU SWEET LADY 🙏 also, i might have missed it. What soil mix do you put in your grow bags?

[@TheLazyHOAGardener]

The garden is looking amazing 👏. I have a video with sausage and kohlrabi, and it is delicious you should check it out. I can't wait to harvest some this year. The peppers will do fine in the greenhouse for overwintering. I have left my plants outside in North Florida for almost 3 years. As long as they produce, I will use the same plants year after year.

That hoodie is everything ... how long ago did you get it I love it sooo much.
