Regardless of the space available to you, there are ways to maximize your garden space so you can grow as much as your area …
Happiest turn of the decade to you! And I must say you guys are both looking great! You must live somewhere in the rain shadow side of the Pacific Northwest. Here in Deer park, Washington we've been dealing with some of the worst, messiest weather I have ever seen and I have been up here for 12 years.
I do like purchasing from Victory Seeds. They're local to me here in Oregon and may be a good option for other PNW gardeners. They are open pollinating
I found some 4.4lb Himalayan pink salt bricks on clearance at TSC for $1.79. They seemed to be meant for animals, but I thought it was such an amazing deal I couldn't pass it up. I bought 3 of them! It's been a couple years now, and I have no complaints. All I have to do is smack it a few times and put the chunks into my salt mill when it needs a refill. Still can't get over that I got 13.2lbs of expensive salt for under $6! Never experienced any grit or anything.
How do u preserve squash and zucchini? I have tried several ways and haven't found a GOOD one
Just reiterating that there are no GMO seeds that are available for the average gardener to purchase. Growing GMO seeds is only for commercial farmers and requires lots of contracts and legal. So any seed companies promoting their "non GMO seeds" are just using that technically true statement as a marketing tactic.
Happy Early Birthday may God bless you both with many more years to come 😇🙏
QUESTION: How do you protect your terrace and cottage gardens from deer and elk? I saw you have the fence around the main garden but haven’t seen anything around the other two. I live in Idaho and my husband and I just bought ten acres to homestead on. I’m planning our garden and protecting it from deer and other critters is a major factor. I’d love to hear more about how you protect your gardens and any strategies for cost effective fencing.
Texas: Try Brim Seed Company out of Waco; they have several varieties adapted for the south.
QUESTION: What's the best way(s)to hold seeds over for a year or two? Should they be stored in a freezer, or just a cool, dry area? Vacuum sealed? Are there some varieties that have particular requirements?
If the seed packet was GMO, would it be labeled accordingly? Thank you
Our local seed company is High Mowing Organic Seeds. They have heirloom seeds. They are wonderful especially if you live in cold climate weather as they are located in northern VT.
Great information, guys. Thank you so much! I just ordered a few of the garden planners for myself. Do you have, or can you recommend a guide on how much space I would need to plant for 1-2 people?
I live in the Houston, Texas area, so if anyone can recommend a local heirloom seed distributor, I’d be very appreciative. Thanks!
I just discovered your channel today. So far I love you guys!!
Thanks for the tip on the seed chart…I ordered 3. One to keep & 2 to share.
I think I’ve found my new favorite channel 🥰
Your very right about growing things that do well I'm your area.
Daughter was nervous during the food panic of 2020. She went to my pantry and sprouted dried kidney beans. She got the tiller out. Made 2 new beds and planted kidney beans in one, and store produce pepper seeds in the other. She did great. Took good care of them. Yield was dismal on the kidney beans. Got a cup dried. Her peppers were strong albeit very late producers of attractive large very average peppers.
We got her good quality seeds for 2021 and she asked for some for Christmas 2021 for this spring.
I tried gardening a few years ago and gave up because the grass wanted to take over the garden. I was buying organic sweet peppers for my grandson and I saved some of the seeds. I tossed them in a 10 inch flower pot and they grew. When frosty weather arrived they didn't have peppers yet so the pot came inside. They bloomed and now we are eating peppers. I'm saving the seeds from the ones we eat to grow more.
I absolutely love your channel! I do have a gardening question for you. My husband and I recently purchased 5 acres in the PNW. We knew going in that the soil is terrible. It's rocky soil just a few inches above hardpan. I assume we'll need to purchase good soil to get things going. How can we best approach getting started? Is our only option raised beds?
I can only grow in pots or movable raised beds any ideas or tips on what i can grow early and then grow something else in that same pot after harvest of the first crop? Can i grow chard or kale in pots? What kind of green beans has the highest yields, bush or vines? I really dont have much room to grow but i would like a high yield tomato plant but i dont know what to grow in a pot, any help would be appreciated.
Redmen Real Salt question! We used to buy that from Azure Standard online but they not longer sell it. Where do you get it?
We’re new to living this far north and i keep forgetting how late it stay cold up here! We also have the added problem of living in a rental surrounded by other rentals. Do y’all have any tips or tricks for container gardening?
QUESTION: i have NEVER successfully started ANY plant indoors! I know Carolyn saved her starts last year, what was the magic trick? Can you talk lights/soil/ temp? Thanks Guys!! Happy Birthday Josh!!
