👍🏼👍🏼
Gary, I placed my raised metal beds on top of my concrete patio. I'm in a small townhouse and didnt want to place them on the grass part. do you think that could be why my plants are slow growing? i planted in some bags and those are doing great but not the beds.
Gratitude!🪴💚
I loved the idea of using the shims as markers. Breakdown is much longer than popsicles sticks that break on me all the time.
Great ideas for planting fall crops. I’ve shared with my other friends locally to our areas
Awesome video! I am excited to transition sooner than later to cooler weather crops like peas, carrots, and lettuce in my garden 👊🏻🌻👊🏻
Elis dad here again lov ya Gary thank you for all youre info
hi, great info. so the beets I planted in May (zone 5b) have wonderful leaf growth but very small beets. Should I leave them in the ground so maybe they will grow larger? Not sure why they are so small. I will sow more beet seeds so either way. thank you for great content.
Thank you for responding I am also in Maryland but in Hartford county can you recommend a large sweet Is strawberry variety that works well in our area
Thank you. Finally got my other raised beds filled. Anxious to start fall seed planting
I spy a Rusted Garden tool @19:17.
Good to keep flowers to until get ripe to make seeds
???? I just watched your ants and squashbug videos. Very effective in my garden! Do you have a solution for grasshoppers?
How about marigolds in between the beet rows? Marigolds are supposed to repel whiteflies
Didn’t think about the heat being the reason my carrots didn’t germinate! We had 100+ temps for about a week right after I planted them. Even though they were under a shade cloth it must have been too hot still. I’ll keep trying.
Most all my stuff is fried,okra and peppers are thriving,getting most of my beds ready for fall and winter greens,started three trays under lights last night.
wow espoma plant tone for 5$… truly found a unicorn
I'm gonna try this since I haven't started any Cole/ fall weather stuff yet. Have you started your transplants like this before? I have a grow tower I was thinking of growing my collard in should I start the collards in grown or trays since I want to put in grow tower. My beds are taller some anyway and they don't have no actual top soil in them just compost peat moss on top I filled most with a coffee and soil mix compost I bought.
If you'd be interested I'd love to send you some worm castings and reusable cotton bags for compost tea
Hi Willow🐶
Gosh, I’m a bit confused. 🙃 First time wanting to plant cabbage for fall…I purchased three different varieties. My first expected frost is October 15-24th.
So, a 45, a 65 and an 85. How do I figure when to start the shorter day types? Figured I’d start the 85 in a cell tray.
After last years bumper harvest of beets, this year they havent sprouted at all. Cabbages didnt take either.
We've had a wet summer, the warmth has only just arrived (End of July)
The weeds are growing in the raised beds tho.
Tomatoes going well. Garlic harvest was stupendous.
Broccoli has spouted massive elephant ears style leaves bit little else so far.
Good one…..doing all this now in 9A
