Can’t wait to see your spoon tomatoes! I have seeds too but haven’t planted them. I have to protect my strawberries better next year. Thanks for the tour!
I’m very excited for the spoon tomatoes as well! Some are just now going red, so hopefully I’ll be enjoying them soon. I couldn’t believe how small the seeds for them are back when I planted mine but now I see why. Protecting my strawberries was a bit of an effort and expense but definitely well worth it for the production I got this year. Thanks for watching!
Your garden looks amazing. I wish I had a garden like that. When the weather warms and the plants get some water they really take off. Are you saving money by growing a lot of your own vegetables?
Thanks so much! Yes the warm weather and rain and long days have all really helped the plants go nuts. For the money part lifetime I might just be breaking even since there are a lot of up front costs like the beds and dirt and such. Week to week it has been nice though because I can really extend what I buy at the grocery store with fresh stuff from the garden to make it last longer.
Everything looks happy, shiny, and green. Re: your outdoor hydroponics: I keep reading temperature is so huge for root rot, not to exceed 75 f, but I'm wondering how people are growing kratky outdoors in summer heat?
Thanks! I think that’s part of what happened to the small kratky jars is that the nutrients got too hot, so that’s definitely a valid concern. Hoping with the bigger buckets it takes longer for the water to get warm and I have them in part shade which should help. I also might wrap the buckets in a white or foil cover at some point if it becomes an issue.
Those friggin' woodchucks are evil creatures. As many as I trap more show up. They devastate a garden so I've resorted to barrel beds up high, they can't climb those but get into anything else. I hate that I can't grow what I want to because of them. Electric fence, the tunneled under from my neighbors house and popped up in the middle of my cucumber patch. I simply cannot win.
They’re very persistent that’s for sure. I never saw one until I planted sunflowers. Then they game and devastated that patch and have never left. Dehydrated super hot pepper flakes helped keep them at bay for a bit, but after a few rains they were back.
I thought corn would cross pollenate and needed to be grown away from other varieties. do you not find that to be true in your experience. I only grew one kind the year I grew about 36 plants
So we have about the same # of plants! It will cross pollinate, as long as all the varieties you grow are sweet corn (or corn of another type) then it should be fine.
Hey! I’m currently filming one where I’m fermenting some sugar rush peaches - I’ll probably post that video in a few weeks once fermentation is complete and I process the sauce and can edit the vid! And once all these plants really get producing I should have even more content like that coming out.
The garden looks so productive for June! I love it. I’m excited to follow you. I haven’t found many folks in my planting zone.
Awesome tour around your garden! Can't wait for the next one :)

if you have bigger okra try filling them and roasting them on the grill
You can eat nasturtium. Peppercorn flavor, but very green tasting if by itself. Can make a pesto or throw leaves and flowers in a salad.
I’m excited to try it! The leaves look very cool, can’t wait to see the flowers as well.
Loved this vud❤

I had no idea asparagus survived that long! 🤯
Yeah, should be awesome! Well worth the several years it takes to establish if you ask me!
Have you looked into everbearing strawberries. I ordered some bareroot for this year.

I grow kratky outdoors in zone 8a. I don’t have a problem BUT my garden only gets 7 hours sunlight.

make more hot sauce videos! please!

@@jackspepperpatch Youve inspired me to start making my own hot sauces, im growing about 15 plants right now!
