I love it here omgggg❤
Awwww thank you!!
I haven't had success with beets in 3 years. This time I had a conversation with the seeds before I dropped them😂😂😂
Did it work?
Lol I hope it works this year! Crossing my fingers for you!
😂I hope it works for you this time
😂😅😂
😀 ..Talk to them..sing to them..whatever you have to do. Hope it works. 😀
Your love for gardening and the work you have put in is so impressive. I grew some collards on my patio this year and they did well, no big problems at all. I’m impressed you encouraged me to plant some beets if it’s not too late.
👋🏾 Asia thanks for telling us how u started out, new gardener easing into it my self but seeing seeds sprout is gratifying now getting them to maturity is the challenge. 😉🌱
I've been watching Summer Rayne's 2 channels obsessively! And now I have found you. This is giving a whole new level and I love it. I mean a black woman who sounds like an Atlanta housewife, girl let me get a drink and a snack!!!! love it! not only that the community needs more of this period! 💯🌱From Perth Western Australia we see you and all the kids getting into it over there. Simply amazing
I let three leeks go through the last winter and then go to seed this year. They have gorgeous ball shaped flower clusters of beautiful scented white star shaped flowers. The bees love them and you will get free seed. I love volunteers too. Lovely garden tour!! I love seeing the joy in any gardeners face when they talk about their garden. Cheers!!
Beautiful and inspiring tour. It’s hard to convey how long it takes to get the garden set up how you want. And the evolutions are never ending.
Love the joy and accomplishment you bring to the videos. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💕🌱
I love the way you think! I also have stopped stressing over everything. I do what i can. It either lives or dies. 😊
Very nice urban garden 👌 proves that you can grow lots of food in the city ,awesome, Ase
Thank you! You really can!
What a great video! I love your channel. Yeah Im squishing anything eatin my plants. BTW I love your earrings.
Hello 👋🏾! Thank you! Totally agree lol. Thank you!
Yuuupp!!😂😂
I started out gardening and my backyard has too many trees. So, I converted my backyard into perennial herbs and plants. And I have success with beans. I’m now at the community garden area and I have two huge plots. And FULL SUN. I didn’t realize how much the sun affected everything. I love your videos and garden. Thank you for sharing.
O ok. Glad you were able to into the community garden! Sun does make a big difference! Aww thank you and you’re welcome!
I'm planting beets for the first time. 😮
You can even grow right out of bags of soil! Just grow something! 💯💯💯
I'm just in love with your garden. I really wished I could have a yard space but I'm trying with pots
Thank you! Pots, containers and bags work well too!
Immediately fell in love with your channel ❤… immediately subscribed to your Instagram and you truly inspired me to resume what has become my passion since relocating to Florida years ago ❤️gardening 💕❤️💕Thank you
On the Leeks I agree with the "leave them alone" people. The soil needs to be moist (as it does for most plants), but don't allow them to remain soakng wet. They don't like wet feet. Your soil is most important. Give them a dose of Fish Emulsion and see if they get larger you. We've grown them successfully for the last 3 years. The first season they looked as yours do now. (But it was early summer I think.) I hit them with 5-1-1..and lo and behold..they became beautiful The next season and this season I gave them some roughly every 2 to 3 weeks and they were lovely. I need to grow more. I use them up so-o fast.
Yes ma’am!! You do not need fancy spaces to grow. I started with three 1’x6’ beds that were only 6” high made from scrap wood and a trellis made from two pallets I got from the trash at Starbucks. I have the metal beds now but I still use scrap. I have my grapes and pumpkins in beds made from scrap pieces of composite decking material. Cardboard from Amazon Christmas deliveries lined my native plant bed. All kitchen scraps make my soil I top my beds with. My greenhouse was originally made with recycled windows. I’ve planted in lined tires. It doesn’t have to be fancy
I completely agree! It’s quite simple to start growing. I love that you are upcycling!!
Netting over your plants helps a lot.❤
Just found your channel. I love how much smiling and laughing you do. 😀 I have unsuccessfully tried to grow several things, but I keep trying because one day I'll get it and then I'll know how from then on. Beets is one of those things for me too! Greens and hot peppers never fail me though.
I finally got a successful harvest of beets this year. I also love volunteer plants. They seem to do better than the ones I sow 🤣
Zinnias and nasturtiums, my faves!! Thank you for the tour!🪴💚
O yay! That’s awesome! Congrats! Yeeees! They are the best. When I see them I get excited lol.
I love nasturtiums too and they volunteer so easy! You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Don't harvest your sweet potato until after the first frosts. Then it will triple in size. They stay tiny until the frosts.
You would be surprised at how those seeds survive till they get the appropriate soaking. Wait a while and find out, you never know till you know. Bless up.
Asia gurl you are going to have to start spraying for those pests munching on your veggies. I know you don't want to but oh well 😂😂😂
Lol I’m not doing it Charlotte. I might throw some netting over them eventually…maybe 🤣. I always love your comments!
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead Okkkkk I hear you 😂😂😂
In my (limited) experience with fruit trees- peaches seem to have short life span (20-30 years)so mature earlier (3-4 years maybe?), while apple trees tend to have a much longer lifespan so mature later (5-8 years?) … I’m sure that’s also variety dependent, but don’t give up!
I can't ever grow beets either and yet I try anyway. Got beet seeds in my basket. 😂😂
🤣🤣 it’s so funny b/c people say they are easy to grow. O yay! Plant them anyway lol.
Am I the only one that wants to have my morning cuppa in your garden ? 😢😂
You are not lol!!
I dont really label either. Sometimes I forget whats there. But its fun to see what pops up. I usually only label plants i havent grown before.
Hey Asia. Watching your lastest on how you started the garden. Glad to know that I'm not the only one annoyed by the pool over there..only if you don't actually use it. 😀 ..If that's true, then I'd like to say that it would be a perfect space for placing some of your herbs. The Parsley, Oregano, Cilantro, and Sage would love it. They will stay healthier and greener once the zone 7B sun hits in July/August. It took me two seasons to realize that before I placed those potted herbs under the Maple tree in our backyard.
Great video. Your videos are relaxing and encouraging. I have fertilizers and mulch, etc., but sometimes when Gardeners are doing all of the 'extra', it stresses and discourages me. Sometimes I just want to grow food.
Thank you! I can understand that. I used to do that but I got tired pretty quickly lol.
Thank you for showing your blueberries! You inspired me to buy more bushes (and try harder to grow them) this year.
afternoon from Watertown NY
Hello 👋🏾 and afternoon to you from VA!
Discovered you last week while I'm traveling in France. Just now seeing you're in Hopewell--I live in Richmond! Greetings to you from the beautiful south of France!
Greetings to you! I hope you are enjoying your trip!
Your tromboncino looks so healthy and green😍
Asia, I feel your pain with these pests. My furry pests decimated my peach tree this year and the year before it was some peach tree borer that took out my Saturn peaches. But your garden still looks beautiful!!! Just saw your 40th birthday vlog. You deserved your good time!
O no! I’m sorry to hear that. Are you planning to replant next year? Awww thank you! I had a ball!
I sprayed my apple.trees with weak dish liquid or vinegar. 1 tsp per gallon water.
I got some pop up tent style nets for my cabbage. 100% worth it.
I was struggling today to put up a trellis. It doesn't want to stay arched in the middle. I have kind of a wide area to cover.
Fruit trees are unpredictable. I have an apple tree that hasn't produced fruit in 15 or 20 years suddenly start producing like crazy over the summer before I had even done anything to it. I had almost given up hope of ever getting anything from it but then it surprised me with more apples than one person could eat!
My peach tree is another story. I will have to do a soil drench on it soon because the Plum curculio drill holes in my fruit when they reach golf-ball size! I read they hatch larva in the soil near the roots and then come out as mature bugs in Spring or early Summer. I hate those things because Peaches are my favorite fruit!
You don’t have to spray, just cover with tulle.😊😊😊😊😊
You're so right when you said just start growing👍🏾. I started growing out of the ground containers grow bags laundry baskets.I just love growing my own. You are doing an excellent job👍🏾💯😊
Give the bugs to your chickens. Then you don't have to squish 'um. 😊❤❤❤❤
We have a real problem with grubs.. but use some tull over them. Especially july when the maths are laying eggs
Chickens cracking me up! 😅
Hi Asia,thanks for sharing your garden journey with us.I love watching your videos.
Thanks for sharing 👍
You’re welcome!
Asia!!! 20K subscriptions! Happy for you!
Thank you!
Well this year will be my first time growing beets radishes peas garlic and collard greens. 🙏🏾 🤞🏻 🙏🏾. This is my second Fall garden ever:) Yes I am still adjusting to timing:(
O awesome!! Good luck and happy growing!!
I squish worms too, you go girl!
So inspired by your garden. Such a wonderful use for space. I am still learning, and value your experience!
I really enjoy your videos. I have a small garden in my front yard, it’s a hot mess but I’m working on it.
Try thinning your beets! It pained me to do, but that's the only time I've gotten decent sized beets.
I’ve been having some pest pressure. BT really helps and most of the plants that need pollinating right now are going to die back first frost. Beautiful garden and awesome tour
O ok, thank you for the info! Thank you!!
Cutting bell peppers while watching your video this is my first year gardening I want to grow garlic and onions. I had good success with the bell peppers no success with broccoli and cabbage bugs ate them. I planted carrots they grew well so I planted more and they are growing ants are eating Spinach before it get growing good gardening is so relaxing I am going to try Tomatoes next year.
Glad to hear your second crop is growing! Hopefully the ants will move on soon. Happy gardening!
I love your videos. You make the most of your small space. I look at your garden and you are an inspiration. Thanks for the videos❤
Thank you! I’m happy to hear you enjoy the videos! You’re welcome!
Power to you! I refuse to spray too. I am also squishing pests at the mo, aphid invasion on my roses as they start flowering in spring. I wish my roselle looked the same as yours, mine keep suffering from some sort of fungal issue. Maybe I water too much.
Awesome garden and tour. Seriously enjoyable
Thank you!! I appreciate the comment!
My parsnips haven't come up either, I guess I'll wait a little longer. Thanks for sharing!
Good luck! I still don’t have any lol
Ryan Hall ya all predicting early cold front and rain for East this year:).
Our nights are getting colder than normal but I’m not too sure about the rain part.
Asia this was really an encouraging video especially for those of us with small areas …the chickens are so cute trying to be your co-star 😂😂 #blessings
Hello there from Cali🤗🐕🐩🐕🐩🐕
I have 3 broccoli plants 1 was eaten down to the white meat lol there was a family of 6 worms working on my 2nd it was half eaten and the 3rd was fine seems they literally were going plant to plant..I previously sprayed them all with neem oil but that didnt help I sprinkled Seven dust and will hey some garden fabric on em too..these gotta go and yea I squish mine too🥾
I've enjoyed watching your channel and garden grow!
It looks amazing, I need to get back to doing more in the garden also
I love your videos...I always learn something new!
Thank you!!
Sissss, same with me on the beets! Can’t grow one to save my life! 😂 But next year?! Oh, it’s on! I’m manifesting a fabulous harvest! It’s gonna happen! 💜💜💜
I have another batch of strawberries. How cool! I am in zone 9A in North Florida though.
O nice!! I don’t think I’ll get a harvest before my first frost. I hope you enjoy your next batch!
Awesome tour Asia everything is looking amazing. Great job. I love your attitude about the garden. I love that you stick to what works for you ❤😊
Thank you!! When I was trying too many things I got overwhelmed. I stick to what will keep me gardening now 😆
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead I have definitely learned that from watching others. I will definitely be growing what suits me.
Hey Asia!!! First frost tonight here in Colorado. I was cracking up at "Poor little girl quail! In your last video. Picked my first batch of greens last week Asia. I could not believe it. I can't wait to see your cabbages and greens this year because they grow so well out there where you are. Glad to see you!!🥰
Hey! O wow…already? Lol it was surprising to me. O yay! Nice! Were they delicious?!? I can’t wait for my first harvest! Is your garden still growing? Thank you…I can’t wait either! Happy to see you as well!
love it!
Thanks Mike!!
I invested a little more this first year than I probably should have on beds, but hopefully I continue to use them!
Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!!
Yes oce❤❤❤❤
Always love your videos happy gardening👍🏽
Hey Sue! Thank you! Happy to hear!
I love your layout of the garden. You have a variety of fruits, vegetables and flowers. ❤ and of course your chickens ❤
Thank you 🤗
That’s amazing way to use the backyard I get a lot of inspiration from you 😊
Hi Asia! I liked hearing how you created your garden space. It grew as you grew as a gardener, and I think that's cool! Also, how did you get those cattle panels home from wherever you got them? The nearest place for me to get some is many miles away (no big farming supply stotes in my urban area 😂), and even with my medium size SUV, I can't imagine a safe way to transport them.
Hi!! Awww that’s awesome! My stepfather has a truck. We folded them over in the back. The supply store I go to is about 15 or 20 minutes away but it’s worth the drive. Lol I have an SUV and they do not fit 🤣🤣
Also thinking about the cattle panels/posts next yr. urban gardener, suv 😉. Might hv to sweet talk my lawn guy. 😊
I did enjoy this video grow something 👍🏾😘
Thank you! I’m very happy to hear that!
Could you do a video about how to grow broccoli from the store? I thought that was very interesting!
I haven’t ever grown broccoli from the store.
I love the no buy tips you share. I would have never thought about using seeds from fruit or veggies to try to start. Have you a video on how you compost? You are just a delight to watch. Thank you for sharing your garden.
Thank you!! Strawberries ate super easy too. Takes a while to germinate but it works! I do! I’ll post one in another comment once I finish answers the comment on this video. You’re welcome!
Hello. Love your channel! Suggestion...If your pool is not functional, I bet the soil under it would be a prime spot for planting. 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Hi 👋🏾! I’m leaving that side of the yard for the dog and my daughter. But I’m sure you are correct! If I could plant over there I would 🤣. I’d use the whole backyard lol.
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead😂
I so love watching your videos because you've got your own fresh market😊 If you get enough loofah seeds, may I have a few, please?
Awww thank you! You sure can. I actually have a bunch from last year. You can email me or dm on IG and I’ll send you some.
Hi Asia, I always enjoy your videos. thank you for your time and for sharing your experience. How often do you trim your fruit trees to keep them small?
Hi 👋🏾! You’re welcome! I normally cut them once in summer and then again in fall.
Thank you for sharing your garden and the growth of your garden. I like how you have your veggies spread out in different beds. What made you chose cinderblocks for your garden?
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching! Most of the blocks were free so that’s why I chose them honestly lol.
Hi, I love your garden. How did you decide to do center blocks instead of wood?
Hi 👋🏾! Thank you! Most of the blocks were free from Facebook Marketplace and it was a quicker set up.
I love your backyard garden. It's so well put together that it looks planned. I really think you're smart to have control of the quality of your veggies. Any neighbors following your lead?
Thank you! My neighbor directly behind me has a garden!
Have you tried Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth in your garden to get rid of pests/worms? It’s supposedly not harmful to humans and animals if dusted on your garden.
I haven’t. I’ve heard about it though. Thank you for the comment!
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead I just watched a video where someone placed tulle on top of their lettuce and greens and that stopped the moths and butterflies from laying eggs and worms from eating the leaves. You can buy inexpensive tulle from any fabric store.
Love all your videos! What kind of onions do you grow? We live fairly close to one another I think so wanna do something that will grow well. Have you ever done a short day onion? I accidentally bought one 😢.
Thank you! I’m pretty sure all of my onions are long day. I have mistakenly planted short day onions before. The bulbs were pretty small. The good thing is the greens can be used so I used the whole plant.
Funny you can’t do beets and that seems to be what I do well with. That and chard. We ate hella beet greens and chard all summer 😁😁😁
Lol o yay! I can’t grow them at all 🤣🤣. Still trying though.
Hi Asia, I’m a new subscriber and I love your channel and all you’re doing in your backyard garden!
I live in an apartment and started growing Organic mushrooms inside a ready made kit. 10 days til harvest.
Do you like mushrooms and have you considered growing any?
Hello! Welcome to the channel!
I love mushrooms! I have considered it but haven’t done it yet. Thanks for the reminder and comment. Perhaps I’ll get started this spring!
What do you do with all the loofah?
I use them for sponges.
I can tell you hang out with your chickens lol. They aren't skittish at all. ❤
We don’t mind the noises. 😅🎉❤
Ok thanks for saying that! Sometimes I’m like where did all this noise come from lol
Hello Asia. I love your channel and look forward to each videos. Wirh rhe blueberries you planted. Did you plant them in soil and just added soil acidifier? I really want to have blueberries in my garden.
Hi 👋🏾! When I originally planted them I believe I added compost and organic granulated fertilizer. After that I’ve only added soil acidified. I’ve found them to be pretty easy to grow. Good luck and happy growing!!
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead thank you!
Do you use any large flower pots for growing too? I saw a gentleman growing black Collard Greens in his.
Yes I do. I grow mint and other herbs in pots. O ok cool. I need to start using my bags in the fall. Maybe next year!
How did you get the cattle panels home your truck doesn’t seem big
My stepfather has a truck. We folded them over in the back of the bed of the truck.
What variety are the blueberries?
I will check tomorrow. I’m not sure off the top of my head. Sorry about that! I’ll reply tomorrow.
Is there any way you can get an ariel view of your garden?
I don’t have drone right now so not at this time. If I can soon I will.
Hello! How are you? My question is what brand of seeds do you use to grow your food?
Hi 👋🏾! I’m doing well! How are you? I will buy seeds from anywhere but I like kid.seed.co on IG, Botanical Interest, Mary’s Heirloom Seeds, MI Gardwner, Baker’s Creek and Hoss Tools.
I look for snapdragon also, no luck 😢
O no. I’m hoping it’s just too early and they’ll be out in the next week or so. I hope you find some!!
how do i keep the weeds away from my garden or is that impossible? lol
I use the weed barrier in the walkways. If you use mulch that can help. I hand pick a lot too lol.
Yellow dooer urban homestead whats the name of your bluebeery plant. I want to purchase a couple trees for my 11 year old grandson he's heavily into gardening and love trying to grow differnt things😅
O I love that your 11 year old grandson loves to garden and that you are cultivating that in him. I will have to check tomorrow but I will let you!
