Save the seeds from that one that got stressed. Stress helps to produce the seeds that can handle cool nights.

Much love Tuck❤❤❤

[@UnitedCuisines]

What happened to your unique euphoric intro? I loved it!

[@DonnaMM6361]

What are the white hoop frames that are sitting on top of the wooden raised beds? Time stamp is 3:30. Also, what region is your garden in? You are spot on in your advice! Thanks

[@skoalar]

James, I’ve been watching your garden videos here for a couple of months now and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your enthusiasm and the value of your efforts. I’ve been gardening since I was about ten years old which was sixty five years ago and gardening is still my favorite activity One more thing to say here. I also really like the contribution Tuck makes to your show. Our Yorkie Isabella passed away three years ago and like Tuck she was a faithful companion and protector in the garden. You and Tuck keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching S Keller Indianapolis IN

[@jamesprigioni]

Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot to me and Tuck. Wow you sure have some experience gardening! Sorry to hear Bella passed away, it sounds like she and Tuck would have gotten along great! Best of luck with your garden this year!

[@cindystimson3632]

Tuck looks like he feels better today. We love to see him in the garden.❤❤❤❤

[@rflores165]

Love seing Tuck eating his snacks❤❤

[@chrisdonovan8795]

I invested money into a seedling grow station as shown by Millennial Gardener. 90% of it failed due to my bad timing and other factors. However, as a low effort experiment, I let two tomatoes from the garden last year rot in small planters on my back stairs. I now have hardened tomato plants to put in my garden!

[@runningwarrior5468]

❤❤❤❤❤Fat bottomed veg you make our Tuckie's world go round 🎶

[@scarredbychrist]

Tuck is the reincarnation of someone who saved a bunch of kids in a past life. Because, he lives the best life possible.

[@robinhorton6926]

❤❤❤ Good boy Tuck!! He's so handsome with dirt on his head! ❤❤❤

[@HeyYouSA]

The dog, the myth, the legend.

[@donnabrooks1173]

Absolutely!!!!!

[@jillobrien4680]

lol 😂

[@hogue3666]

Great to see that the space you take up with backups is bigger than my entire garden. Keep up the good work! :)

[@TheOracle30]

I would love it if you did an episode on when to pick blooms off of plants. Sometimes, when buying starter plants, you may get plants that start flowering too early. I'd enjoy getting your input on when to pick off these flowers and when the plant is large and mature enough to leave these flowers.

[@tonyaswinger8783]

We love you Tuck❤

[@amynourse9727]

Thanks for the shout out and sharing all your knowledge! I love gardening but your videos and energy make it even better! ♥ for Tuck!

[@toniatalley1977]

Tuck is such a good hard worker. He's the absolute best. Great video as always!!! I always learn so much from you

[@richardgraham7055]

The Newby Tips are wonderful guides to a happy productive garden.

[@gregdoh]

Your first tip has been my #1 tip for people who ask me for advice over the past 10 years, since I made that mistake my first 2 years 😅

[@lauralong111]

I bought kaolin clay and a sprayer; thanks so much for showing us how to use it.

[@Theusmale87]

❤❤❤❤ Tuck is the Best pup. Love him and Thanks JP for all your Advise and growing wisdom. My garden is growing every year because of the encouragement and ideas you share on the daily.

[@maryloublouse8578]

I love your enthusiasm !! And watching Tuck is so much fun. I had 2 Yorkie mother and son. Mom passed a couple years ago at 15 1/2. Son is 14 now and we adopted a 4 yr old yorkie/chiwawa. They really steal your heart. Give Tuck a hug from a Yorkie mama from Montana. God bless ! Love your videos.

[@donnabrooks1173]

Thank you for saving a life. They count too.

[@anthonypaparo1975]

Thankyou James. Love your Tuck. I have a German shepherd that does the same thing, only I don't let him in the garden because he likes to cultivate when it doesn't need it.😂

[@lorib5323]

OMG, my mistake this year was a planted WAY TOO dense. I cannot walk between my beds at all LOLOL.

[@LSFprepper]

i can't seem to get brassicas to grow well, but this year is by far my best for potatoes. Really excited for those.

[@WS-by5cl]

Potatoes are the bomb 💣 we planted A LOT and my son is stoked! 😁

[@ursamajor1936]

I just read this year that if you start them in seed trays they need to be moved into the garden bed when the first true leaves are just emerged. At that point, top growth stops and they send out lateral roots and if those roots run into sidewalls, the plant will die.

[@elainelear4982]

I'm growing potatoes for the first time this year.

[@samanthahendricks3600]

My potatoes are also doing awesome! Last year I didn’t put any in until May, this year I put a few I the ground back in March. The plants look so healthy and strong. I thought I lost them to frost at one point because they were turning black.. but they’re all green and happy now.

[@mcwaits]

I live down near Houston Texas. I found that they do better growing over the winter in my region. Rather than planting them out in spring, I get them started late July to August.

[@Luckdragon12]

Thanks for reminding us not to set plants outside too early! Nightly temps are like low 50s where I'm at, but we had a few odd warm days, and cold snaps too, not long ago. May is like a roller coaster! ❤

[@naomisee789]

❤💛💚💜 Thank you, James for the tips!!! Crunch, crunch, Tuck! 😘💜💚💛❤

[@theemeraldminecartorange3390]

Love this guy so excited about his gardens

[@lyricalstorms]

❤❤❤❤❤ Tuck and family!!! What's better than plants and animals Co-existing?! Thanks James!

[@user-Carolyn-k7e]

Love, love, love TUCK!! Love❤❤❤ ya Tuck. He is so cute!!

[@hc3021]

Another really excellent video James! Concise, knowledgeable information is hard to come across from KZbinrs, and I so appreciate you not wasting your audience’s time. All the ❤❤❤s to Tuck!

[@jenniferprescott8655]

❤❤❤❤❤ for Tuck😊...love hanging out with you in the garden

[@revk8611]

First year, made the garden too big. I couldn’t keep up. I learned from my mistake and slowly grew over the years.

[@MattyDemello]

I saved a bee today and it felt great lol. For real though. I never had such an appreciation and love for bees as i do know growing my own food. I was in the store today and a bee was on the window sill, so i picked it up and brought it back outside. Actually made my day.

[@ausfoodgarden]

Some awesome advice there James. I still make some of those mistakes but on purpose, because it suits my conditions and method. I'd better send Tuck some love. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Cheers!

[@smas3256]

We started out with Azaleas and berries that grew tall as trees that were already here. Dragonflies and butterflies so beautiful. Small garden in our backyard. Extended to front and loving it all. Keeping us young in our 70's. ❤Tuck ❤is a cutie. Thank you James. We have partial shade. Your encouragement has made all the difference. ❤

[@susanriggs8896]

Borage is a bee magnet in my garden, too. You can't beat the color. I love that it reseeds itself.

[@juneoliver1968]

❤❤❤ Tuck is such a Lucky Dog! He has a fine Daddy who grows him the Best Veggies to eat! 😂 💖💝🙏🥕🥒🥬🥕❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡💚💚💚❤️❤️❤️

[@colleenbow777]

I’ve tried brassicas for three years; all bolted! We are down into the thirties again so I have my brassicas covered with frost cloth.

[@mpat23]

❤ to Tuck and James

[@jamiecugno2327]

Thank you for keeping us posted on tucks progress ❤

[@CathyM-uv1it]

Excellent advice to start small ! Also concentrate on your soil and I would recommend getting a planting schedule from your local cooperative extension service. This will save you much heartache. ❤❤❤❤ to Tuck, the Little Boss!

[@daleservidio2034]

Love you Tuck. Keep on keeping on in your garden 😊

[@frasersgirl4383]

Love you Tuck!!! ❤️❤️💫🐶💫❤️❤️

[@slgrib]

❤❤❤❤❤ for Tuck. Unseasonably hot weather is messing with my garden so far.

[@juneoliver1968]

Also James, thanks for all these reminders and tips. I appreciate how you go into detail and explain the "whys". 🙏💝🙏💝🙏💖

[@AmyBurk-ln8vq]

Love love love you Tuck ❤❤❤❤

[@MichaelJo-AnnSchroeder]

Hearts, I love seeing Tuck.

[@angelaspadafora2180]

James, I love your passion for gardening and teaching us. As a new gardener myself, I feel like I learn a lot from you. Thank you! I love seeing Tuck in the videos too! ❤️❤️❤️

[@tb-yr6wy]

Your wisdom about gardening is so wise!!! People think if there's no food they'll just grow a garden, it doesn't work that way. You have to learn what grows best for you. And go from there!!! That's how I personally did it and by the way I pray over my garden!!!!🙏🕊❤ Of course mine is nowhere's near as productive as yours. But God has Blessed me and there is so much still to learn always!!! Thank you for all your knowledge and wisdom that you share. God Bless! You and all who watch!! Hearts for Tuck, he is greatly loved!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lindaseel9986]

I do the same thing. 🙏🙏🙏😀😀

[@DarlingEbony]

I love gardening, but I come here for Tuck. I have a Yorkie named Ginger who loves being in the garden. She's a master gardener too. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SuperKabookie]

Good lessons for beginners and seasoned gardeners ❤️❤️love to Tuck!

[@theresawilliamson433]

Tuck is so cute!!

[@Mike-ze6jq]

Great advice. Ty. I would pickle the radish with it’s leaves. 👍🏾

[@susanbaity2350]

I love your ‘let’s go’ entry! ❤

[@connietinkham9311]

We love our Tuck ❤❤❤

[@laurab8547]

My biggest tip is to learn what specific varieties grow well in your zone, as well as knowing what can be grown during certain times in your area. I live in north Texas and we can only grow radishes, brassicas and carrots in the winter months. Peas are planted by Feb 14 and garlic and carrots are seeded at the end of October here.

[@kristinpanzica8638]

Love the "perennial" mind set!

[@Zenlatin]

Thanks for the borage shout-out. My favorite herb. The purple & pink flowers are really pretty in the sea of green plants.

[@augustussohn893]

I’ve been doing a potted garden the last four years and this year is my first in-ground garden. It is VERY difficult to keep from just tearing up my entire back yard for a garden right now. When things work properly it’s exciting and hard to control. When it doesn’t, it’s kind of depressing. Last year I planted 16 Scorpion peppers and only one produced. Even when things seem to be going right it can all change when you go to harvest. Great videos!

[@SilverScarletSpider]

tick looks cool 😂 maybe bring in a homestead farm cat too 🐈

[@dianedunivant324]

I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from them. Seeing Tucker is a sweet bonus. Thank you for sharing.

[@grussem]

I love your videos James! I'm a transplant from Philly living in Monterey County, the Salad Bowl of the world. Keep up the great work!

[@fourniersfarm]

Hey James what did you ever end up doing with your African Drum Gourd?

[@cathyjohnson6733]

❤️ 💙 💜 for Tuck

[@ARoseGrowsInHarlem]

Yay Tuck! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Glad he’s ok. Poor guy - allergies suck. Wonderful tips. Going big too soon is definitely a no-no. Thank you for your videos!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💕🌱

[@SarahBahou]

Love to Tuck ❤❤❤ good points! As a new gardener, this is super helpful!!

[@robertrice9653]

Best video you have made so far ! Real information from real experience 🙏

[@marypowell2994]

Thanks so much James ❤❤❤

[@efrancken5418]

Lol I have 4 or 5 backups to every variety planted. Wow.... Amazing

[@lesliesnell7613]

Love your videos; I too planted an invasive plant; I will be digging up Dutch clover for the next 10 years. Tuck loves his radish's; we had a dog who would prance into the greenhouse and pull his own radish out of the soil. ❤

[@DDiamondRRuby]

😂 The radish! Thanks for the laugh James.

[@RC-pf2qi]

My sister-in-law gave me bee balm flower plants. It's a good thing I planted them alongside my garage by themselves as they quickly spread.

[@urbanblaster9332]

We ❤Tuck, lets go! Thanks for the advice, year 3 and still feel like a beginner.

[@Ohelojam]

Great points for me. I donʻt know what they do at plant nurseries. But I broke down and bought an eggplant starter. Such a good feeling to see a strong seedling grow. Thanks for the many tips.

[@margaretpollard2179]

[@teresawebster3498]

Thank you James.

[@vivianburrus8085]

Great tips! In addition to growing tomatoes and peppers vertically, be sure to pinch out the "sucker" stems as soon as they come in so growth remains focused on the main stem. Tomato and pepper plants that wind up spreading due to allowing too many side branches to form wind up shading or crowding out your bed as well.

[@wendyluckcuck8454]

Totally love watching your videos! Interested in seeing what your daily routine is in your garden every day…

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

great advice! I started small with a few pepper plants, herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers and garlic.

[@BigboiiTone]

I was the newbie here last season and these are all great tips. I've learned so much since last summer and I'm glad I kept it small scale then. Now I have maybe 3x as many plants started and my mom has her traditional flowers started along with radish, tomato and a lot of herbs. We also have a ton of wild roses and yarrow growing around the yard perimeter and then tons of wildflowers in the woods

[@Homesowingt73]

The food forest looks so very nice and organized, love it!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@matthewsottile8877]

Another excellent video very organized to save everyone a lot of time . thanks again.

[@debmelvin6486]

We love your channel and Tuck! We started asparagus 3 years ago and now our bouvier loves to eat it like Tuck. ❤

[@shelbybutler9714]

This is very helpful, thanks. I am growing heirloom varieties, this year. I intuitively planted flowers amongst my veggies; but, I needed the tip about bolting, because I growing lettuce and chard is new to me. And, I have only been covering my sunflower heads, to keep the birds away. Thanks for the tips!

[@lexwritesthings]

James, your videos have been so encouraging to me this year. I'm in my third year of gardening and starting to feel like I understand a few things. It's a journey! Your positivity and honesty are so wonderful, and of course Tuck ♥️ Thank you for what you're doing!

[@ellensoeclectic]

I LOVE Tuck! I'm so glad he enjoys the vegetables... My dogs love them too! They go crazy for romaine lettuce and bell peppers 😂 I never realized how much dogs like veggies and fruit especially. Thank you so much for your very informative videos! You've been so very helpful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@aantosca]

First year and I think I made 75% of the mistakes you mentioned. Thanks for the great video!!!

[@jesswelsh9838]

Great video. Thanks for the advice, James! 💚's for Tuck.
