I love the way you said the tomatoes will "just have to deal with it because that's what there going to get". You raise tomatoes like I raised my kids! They turned out great and I'm sure the tomatoes will too!
I love your new logo and appreciate all you do for us GARDENERS. I am a 3rd generation gardener and I am so grateful you are starting the conversation bridging the generational gap.
Love the two week update! More updates please. Learning how to deal with problems like that is super helpful. Love the chili flakes idea, and the dollar tree trash can cloches.
My grow bags and worms get here tomorrow, they are the last things I need before I can start repotting everything and building my garden up. Wish me luck. I've been watching you and Eric(Kevin) for like a month straight at this point. I have not been this happy in a long time.
“The tomatoes won’t like it as much but they’ll have to deal with it because that’s what they’re gonna get.” 😂 I love that you’re a no-nonsense plant parent!
I cannot wait until our new acreage looks as amazing as your garden! Even at home here, we are super stoked to multi-sew in our raised beds. Been binging you and Kevin when I get a chance and a few others. A two-week update sounds excellent!
Its my first year gardening, but ive been watching gardening videos for a few years now. I didnt have someone in my life to teach me, so im thankful to get to learn from you as one of my favorite gardeners here on youtube. Its great to finally be able to get out there and actually do it, so therapeutic but also so stressful starting out! I feel a little behind. But i know next year i wont be trying to fill all my beds and figure out my seasons here anymore. Thank you for all that you do, gardening is something i really needed in my life. and youre an amazing inspiration. Wishing you great harvests
I was obsessing over my basil plant’s scent all weekend and neither of my parents could really even smell it! I must have been adopted 🤷🏼♀️ that’s the only conclusion I can draw.
Really helpful tips! My zinnias got super tall and took over my raised bed. I’ll be pinching them back - as well as my basil - from here on out. I also love seeing the follow up. It’s so devastating to see your hard work destroyed. I would be beside myself!
I planted out a 20x20ft In ground bed full of potatoes, my first ever attempt at growing them. They’ve been in for afew months now and are starting to die off. So so excited for them to finish up and get to digging. Awesome videos brother, I enjoy every single one. God Bless 🙏🏼
Man I thought spring was here in MI, it’s been super warm the last couple months and I’ve already put a lot of plants outside but now we’re getting a hard freeze for like 8 hrs tonight 🤦♂️. I really do think that weird unpredictable weather makes you appreciate the nice days more though
Me too! My neighbour had pest removal folks out for a consultation on 🦝🦝🦝 and they just shook their heads. We have old trellis panels over beds we've seeded, but once the seeds are up, I'm going to try chili flakes! Off to the international foods aisle!
when that grub started digging back down I was yelling at my screen for you to get it! XD PS my garden in Spring Valley is getting hit HARD by raccoons right now too :/
Kudos to Wood Prairie Farms, the only US source I could find last year for Sarpo Mira potatoes. Excellent blight resistance! And they are still in stock this year. 💚
It's still too cold to plant tomatoes outside; but, I had to up-pot some of my tomatoes because they were getting too big for the pellets. I'm growing Cherokee Purple and San Marzano. It's the first time for both varieties. My pepper seedlings are doing pretty good so far. But, it's still too early for then to go outside, especially at night.
I'm in Los Angeles and the weather has been so funky. I feel like I'm so behind. My tomato seedlings are still small. Hopefully I can catch up. Slugs ate so many of the seedlings I put in the garden. I used pine shavings and the slugs have left the seedlings alone. I hope my garden will soon take off. Thanks for the inspiration!
Good to hear about the pine shavings making a difference here. The weather has been weird, hopefully we get a real summer this year, last year it basically never happened.
I've noticed that the bugs tend to stay away when I sprinkle Neem Cake fertilizer around the top of my plants. I'm not surprised others have noticed this benefit. Thank you for highlighting this, Jacques!
Hello Jacques. Love the updates. In my zone 5 garden in Canada, the best tasting pink tomato I ever grew is Dester. Not the most prolific or reliable, but the taste is worth the trouble. I am growing it every year now. Jacques, you are my favorite gardener on TH-cam.😊
Hi Jacques, would definitely watch another update. Thing is, if you would post a video on a daily basis I would still watch them all. Thank you for the great content and keeping it real. Appreciate it, been a fan since your debut so am always looking for hermit tips and tricks, man. 😊
I’ve been pinching basil all summer and have had the longest access to fresh basil because of it and the plants are more beautiful ❤ I love your videos and your melodic tone 😊
Love how you are so chill about the raccoons, lol. I am prone to raccoon rages. They are the worst. Cute little parasite ridden vegetable eating terrifying hissing masked bandits. I tried cayenne pepper once, but little friends liked it spicy and ate my second sewing of beans and peas no problem.
I have only ever planted potatoes in the epic grow bags. I live in the inland empire where it gets hot, and even then I had 4 pounds of potatoes per bag despite my newbie mistakes. Over the winter, I tried to plant in my raised bed but they never came up (it was too cold) but my potatoes in the grow bags produced 6 lbs, even though I had to harvest early due to leaf spot fungus). You can keep the soil nice and warm in the winter by placing in full sun and rolling down the bags.
I need to learn more about nematodes! Great looking garden! Yes, I love it when gardeners give update videos in the same original planting video. It helps. Thanks for all the knowledge because I am a 3rd year discouraged gardener who struggles in the Texas heat. All my tomatoes had hundreds of blossoms only to lose them by our baking sun! Literally thriving one Sat and crisp and fried the next Sat! They are using chem trails and direct energy to FRY our gardens, so Im afraid this year will be no different, but Im not giving up!
I love your videos. Very informative and I like that you experiment. I don’t have enough space to grow and experiment, so I live vicariously through you. So keep the progress videos coming. Another type of deterrent for damaging animals is cinnamon powder. One good sniff and a nose full of burning sensation. That’s how I keep raccoons, rats, etc out of fruit trees and off my garden beds.
Beautiful Garden! Us new gardeners are always wondering if, "This is what it's suppose to look like?" So it's wonderful getting updates, thanks. As a matter of fact I was just wondering if the new leaves on the very top of my Sweet Chocolate Tomato was okay, because the green on top is slightly lighter than the rest of the plant. Then I saw your tomatoes (23:33 time line) and I instantly felt better because yours looked that way too 💚😄. Thanks Jaq!
Thanks for another great video, Jacques! It’s autumn here in Australia right now, but still great info to know for when spring/summer rolls around. ☺️🌻
If you haven't grown the Sarpo Miras before, and you get the same results that we had last year you should be more than happy with the results. We planted 1lb, 12 little potatoes last year and harvested 45+lbs at seasons end. So, on that note, I need a promise that you'll at least film you harvesting them. They are considered as a main crop or late variety. Meaning maturity is 110-120 days. And when they reach maturity it's recommended to stop watering them for a couple weeks before digging them up. Best of luck! Oh, and thank you for your purchase, infusion of cash into the economy of Northern Maine. 😄👍😄
I've been filming myself gardening this season so far! I'm in zone 7, so it's very different, but I've just planted my potatoes, too. I have squirrels that have been digging around my pots, I think I'll try the pepper flakes trick on them.
I feel like I have thrown caution to the wind with my potato plantings this year. Great gardens. My warm plants cannot be put out for another month or more. I have started poppies in a tray this year too. With Nasturtiums and Sweet Williams, Pansies, Calendula, Lupins and Penny Black.
Love using Mykos, I’ve been using it for a couple years now and use it for both my vegetable garden and my cacti/succulent collection and plants love it.
I had a bad grub season here in Florida a few months back. Racoons got to come dig exac twice. As soon as I noticed the holes we watched the cameras and found where they were hopping the fence. I got to work making my hot spray. It seems to work in most mammals. I put in a mason jar hot water, cinnamon, any kind of hot peppers or flakes, ginger powder, black pepper,, Indian chili powder.... Basically anything that burns skin or burn your nose if you breathe it. I put 1/3 of the jar vinegar. Shaking whenever you can think of it and let set at least a day but longer is better. I poured/sprayed that where I knew they were coming in and all around my beds and anyplace I could think they would be. They came the next night and got almost to the fence, stopped and turned around. No more holes to be found. They really didn't like it. My dogs and cats avoided those areas too.
My Silver beet, Bok choi, tomatoes and dahlias have new growth that is crinkled, thick and rubbery Any ideas on what is wrong? More garden updates too, please. Hope you enjoyed your vacation 😊
I overwintered my Black Beauty eggplant from Baker Creek. I have 12 eggplants as big as baseballs right now. The plant is really happy in my front yard 3ft raised bed. I’m in Orange County.
After not producing at all last season my eggplant has finally set its first fruit about a week ago 😅 its the black beauty variety i dont really care for eggplant but i grew it for my mom and I'm glad shes finally gonna be able to try eggplant fresh from the garden 👍
Another great video! Ive subscribed finally and never miss a video. Tell you what the rest of the gardening youtubers need to watch out because your videos are so good and informative! Thanks
Ohh, gonna definitely start pinching my flowers. I don't know why people don't mention it. Such a good trick. I have to restart all my seedlings again. Beetles got to mine :c
Love your videos I've been dealing with root knot nematode myself I thought they were in my soil from the beginning when I originally built the bed turns out I used bagged soil fill all of my beds it's Kellogg's brand raised bed and potting mix I also mixed in bags of black cow manure and the plants did okay for a little while and then I started having all kinds of problems when I pulled the plants up they all had big stumpy lumps all up and down the roots so I filled up 5 gallon buckets with only the Kellogg's brand raised bed and potting mix planted cucumbers tomatoes and peppers started having a ton of problems with the plants pulled them out and the same stumpy lumpy bumps all over the roots grow a bunch of marigolds and then chop and drop and bury them that's how I was able to get rid of them in my raised bed
I have had great results with that Mycos powder. I sprinkle it on the roots before I put the plants in the ground/hole or uppot. James Prigioni in NJ, who has a gardening channel, uses it with good results.
I’ve been away from my garden almost 3 weeks. I spent a couple of days wrapping all my container tomatoes in the plastic barrier fencing that I had at the house. I’ll see if it kept out the raccoons and squirrels when I get back next week t week. Hopefully they left the potatoes alone too!
I’m trying potatoes for the first time. I got Elba, Blue, and Adirondack starters. My plan was to use grow bags and I realized I didn’t have enough soil. Then I watched your video & saw you use the straw. So I’m trying out the technique too 😅 I figure I can always add soil in a month if it looks bad, I just really didn’t want to go to the store today.
Yay! I always look forward to a new Jacques in the garden video! Can’t help but be jealous that this is your spring garden though. It’s barely averaging 10-12°C (50° F) here in London, UK 🌱
Your garden looks so lush and beautiful! I can’t wait to do more spring plantings with the new cattle panel arches my husband just set up for me. It’s not a huge garden but hopefully, we can get more produce with our Greenstalks and raised beds 🥰🌷🌼🌻🌞🍅🥬🍆🌶️🥕🥒 I love your videos! Keep them coming 👌🏽
I never had any luck sprinkling poppy seeds out in the garden. I started some in the 6 cells and transplanted them this fall for the cool flower method. They worked great! Producing the most beautiful blooms daily right now. Breaking the rules pays off sometimes. :)
i was literally thinking “what a shame i will have to wait for an update” then to my surprise - you gave one! good to know what my plants should look like if they are doing well
Great lighting in this video! And 🤬 those raccoons! We are growing some of the same tomato types this year, be fun to compare notes on how they do in different climates
Thank you! The racoons have for sure pushed my patience this year but the chili flakes seem to have really sent the message home. Will be interested in comparing tastes as well!
I add mykos and azos when I plant all my veggies amount a few other things. Have found it to make a huge difference in plant health and almost zero fertilizer needs
"people tell me you can't do this...I'm literally doing it right now" 🤣🤣 Made me laugh!
I'll get the comments IN the video where I am showing myself doing things!
gave me a laugh too 😂
I love the way you said the tomatoes will "just have to deal with it because that's what there going to get". You raise tomatoes like I raised my kids! They turned out great and I'm sure the tomatoes will too!
Makes sense. I care for my tomato plants if as they were my kids 😂
Feels so weird cutting them down at the end of the season 😅
Haha, my many tomato babies are always in feast or famine mode around me.
😂
I love your new logo and appreciate all you do for us GARDENERS. I am a 3rd generation gardener and I am so grateful you are starting the conversation bridging the generational gap.
Very happy to hear this! Gardening has long been a major part of my families lives and I am thankful to have one today!
Love the two week update! More updates please. Learning how to deal with problems like that is super helpful. Love the chili flakes idea, and the dollar tree trash can cloches.
Glad you also show your fails as well as you wins. I hope your garden grows really well through the rest of the season
Trying to keep it real, nobody has a perfect garden!
Meanwhile the rest of us waiting for the last frost….love you Jacques :)
Brutal having to wait so long!
I like the update included in the video. I actually learn a lot from your video since I'm pretty new at gardening. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! I will try to do more like this!
I love that you interplant so many things together! I'm always mixing random stuff in my containers/beds just bc I can hahaha
Wherever space shows up is where I plant, so I end up with these weird blends haha.
My grow bags and worms get here tomorrow, they are the last things I need before I can start repotting everything and building my garden up. Wish me luck. I've been watching you and Eric(Kevin) for like a month straight at this point. I have not been this happy in a long time.
Also making my own mulch from my yard. Anything that won't go in the compost tower gets laid out to dry up.
Love to hear this and love the diy mulch! Anything dead and dry is mulch 👏
“The tomatoes won’t like it as much but they’ll have to deal with it because that’s what they’re gonna get.” 😂 I love that you’re a no-nonsense plant parent!
I cannot wait until our new acreage looks as amazing as your garden! Even at home here, we are super stoked to multi-sew in our raised beds. Been binging you and Kevin when I get a chance and a few others. A two-week update sounds excellent!
Every year the garden gets a little better! You will get there!

Love the updates! So often you see the initial planting then nothing til harvest.
I was obsessing over my basil plant’s scent all weekend and neither of my parents could really even smell it! I must have been adopted 🤷🏼♀️ that’s the only conclusion I can draw.
😂 or they haven't regained their senses after COVID
Hahaha, I had the same experience with some orange blossoms on my tree. I was like how do you not smell it?!
Oh no! Orange blossoms smell so good! They are missing out.
@@jacquesinthegardenthe orange blossoms are to die for! They smell incredible! ❤
Or they smoked or were raised around smokers?
Really helpful tips! My zinnias got super tall and took over my raised bed. I’ll be pinching them back - as well as my basil - from here on out.
I also love seeing the follow up. It’s so devastating to see your hard work destroyed. I would be beside myself!
Its the name of the game for sure, just thankful I am not relying on my garden to survive!
Love the updates. Excited for the season and the growth in your garden! 2 week update is much appreciated as well.
Yes. Yes.. love to see the progress on what you are doing. Fails n success 😊 let’s see the aftermaths
I planted out a 20x20ft In ground bed full of potatoes, my first ever attempt at growing them. They’ve been in for afew months now and are starting to die off. So so excited for them to finish up and get to digging. Awesome videos brother, I enjoy every single one. God Bless 🙏🏼
Update on your potatoes please !
I love follow-ups. I hate being left on a cliffhanger. Appreciate the update
Man I thought spring was here in MI, it’s been super warm the last couple months and I’ve already put a lot of plants outside but now we’re getting a hard freeze for like 8 hrs tonight 🤦♂️. I really do think that weird unpredictable weather makes you appreciate the nice days more though
So wild to see that people get frost all the way up until June! Good luck and I wish you a frost free rest of the season 🤞
Cover your plants Nik! I’m in Ontario.
@@jacquesinthegarden I did thanks guys, they all made it through pretty well! Good luck to both of you
I like the 15 day update! Thank you!
Here for the raccoon deterrent advice. They are my biggest challenge, and I feel less alone. Running out to stock up on crushed dried chiles now!
Me too! My neighbour had pest removal folks out for a consultation on 🦝🦝🦝 and they just shook their heads. We have old trellis panels over beds we've seeded, but once the seeds are up, I'm going to try chili flakes! Off to the international foods aisle!
It's working for me!
And those little dollar tree mesh trash can cloches!
when that grub started digging back down I was yelling at my screen for you to get it! XD
PS my garden in Spring Valley is getting hit HARD by raccoons right now too :/
Kudos to Wood Prairie Farms, the only US source I could find last year for Sarpo Mira potatoes. Excellent blight resistance! And they are still in stock this year. 💚
Great seed potatoes and I love their selection.

So jealous of your garden! Absolutely beautiful. It’s 75 here in Atlanta right now. Always enjoy your videos and knowledge
Hopefully all chances of frost have at least passed for you!

You have racoons I have opossum. Going to try your chili flakes idea probably will work with the squirrels as well.
I am thinking that nobody likes a nose full of chili flakes!
@@jacquesinthegarden I have tried Chile pepper flakes for rats (actually making a pepper spray extract) and they don't seem to care
I read -you have raccoons I have optimism.😅😊
@@4D2M0T🎵 High hopes! We've got hiiiigh hopes 🎶 😂
I have all of those but the deer are probably my worst offenders on my garden and orchard.
As a Canadian, I am seeeeething with jealousy over your spring garden! It's still snowing here.
Thanks for showing the stuff that had issues. Looks more like what happens in my garden half the time, glad to see it happens to everyone 😂
I was watching this video with one of my cats and your voice was so soothing it lulled her to sleep.
Hi Jacques, would definitely watch another update. Thing is, if you would post a video on a daily basis I would still watch them all. Thank you for the great content and keeping it real. Appreciate it, been a fan since your debut so am always looking for hermit tips and tricks, man. 😊
I’ve been pinching basil all summer and have had the longest access to fresh basil because of it and the plants are more beautiful ❤
I love your videos and your melodic tone 😊
Any follow ups are welcome. I love seeing your garden and all the information you give. Awesome video!!
Thank you for the follow up right away. ❤
YES!!!! LOVE the follow up idea ... please do more of this. REALLY helpful! Thank you!
Love how you are so chill about the raccoons, lol. I am prone to raccoon rages. They are the worst. Cute little parasite ridden vegetable eating terrifying hissing masked bandits. I tried cayenne pepper once, but little friends liked it spicy and ate my second sewing of beans and peas no problem.
Love and appreciate the after transplant update
Please keep us updated on how well pepper flakes help with critters! My biggest frustration is racoons, rats and now snails & slugs. Thanks!
The chili flakes for sure worked on the racoons! They have not dug a single bed I covered in flakes!
I have only ever planted potatoes in the epic grow bags. I live in the inland empire where it gets hot, and even then I had 4 pounds of potatoes per bag despite my newbie mistakes. Over the winter, I tried to plant in my raised bed but they never came up (it was too cold) but my potatoes in the grow bags produced 6 lbs, even though I had to harvest early due to leaf spot fungus).

Thanks for all the knowledge because I am a 3rd year discouraged gardener who struggles in the Texas heat. All my tomatoes had hundreds of blossoms only to lose them by our baking sun! Literally thriving one Sat and crisp and fried the next Sat! They are using chem trails and direct energy to FRY our gardens, so Im afraid this year will be no different, but Im not giving up!
Jacques, the spring garden is looking great brother!!!! Keep it up!
Much appreciated!
I'm so hopeful that the chili flakes will help you keep your plants alive! Glad to hear that you were able to rescue some plants.
I love your videos. Very informative and I like that you experiment. I don’t have enough space to grow and experiment, so I live vicariously through you. So keep the progress videos coming.
Another type of deterrent for damaging animals is cinnamon powder. One good sniff and a nose full of burning sensation. That’s how I keep raccoons, rats, etc out of fruit trees and off my garden beds.
Yes! Would love to see again. I’m in awe of the transformation of your garden. Hope the chili flakes work!
Try getting some box traps for the raccoons. Don’t worry they are live traps. Then re-home the raccoons far far away.
There will always be more raccoons and others to take their place.
As far as I know In CA it is illegal, the good news is that the chili flakes have entirely worked
Love the update on how things grew
Try putting your mykos in an old seasoning shaker. It works great
That makes a lot of sense!
I like the 2 week update. I always like to see the issues that come up because it makes me worry less when they happen to me.
Love the update and using chilly flakes is a good idea!
❤ the logo… very appropriate for You! Appreciate your videos! 🎉

Thanks for another great video, Jacques! It’s autumn here in Australia right now, but still great info to know for when spring/summer rolls around. ☺️🌻
Where in Australia are you? What are you growing and sowing?
I grew the amethyst eggplant. They grew a bunch of fruit. They are still producing but slowing down. Highly recommend.
Updates are very helpful. I love sseing the final vids too. We get invested in your garden 😊
If you haven't grown the Sarpo Miras before, and you get the same results that we had
last year you should be more than happy with the results. We planted 1lb, 12 little potatoes
last year and harvested 45+lbs at seasons end.
So, on that note, I need a promise that you'll at least film you harvesting them.
They are considered as a main crop or late variety. Meaning maturity is 110-120 days.
And when they reach maturity it's recommended to stop watering them for a couple weeks
before digging them up. Best of luck!
Oh, and thank you for your purchase, infusion of cash into the economy of Northern Maine.

Love the two week updates. Keep doing them.
I've been filming myself gardening this season so far! I'm in zone 7, so it's very different, but I've just planted my potatoes, too. I have squirrels that have been digging around my pots, I think I'll try the pepper flakes trick on them.
Oooooh definitely gonna try topping my zinnias this year! I had zinnias in a 5gal grow bag last year and they still ended up taller than me 😂
It's a greedy way to keep them low and get more flowers
I feel like I have thrown caution to the wind with my potato plantings this year. Great gardens. My warm plants cannot be put out for another month or more. I have started poppies in a tray this year too. With Nasturtiums and Sweet Williams, Pansies, Calendula, Lupins and Penny Black.

That is amazing, I didn't overwinter any this year but I sure wish I had!
Love the updates and would love to see more. Thanks for all you do.❤❤❤❤
I really love the update. Plus it shows up that you have issues and plants that fail too
Thank you for the two week update!! And this whole video was so helpful, even if some was just emotional support 😅
After not producing at all last season my eggplant has finally set its first fruit about a week ago 😅 its the black beauty variety i dont really care for eggplant but i grew it for my mom and I'm glad shes finally gonna be able to try eggplant fresh from the garden 👍
Thanks for the video! Love seeing the follow-up. I’m going to give the chilly flakes a try, something keeps eating my cucumber seedlings.
You could make that block wall look great with some stucco. I'd watch another garden update.
Another great video! Ive subscribed finally and never miss a video. Tell you what the rest of the gardening youtubers need to watch out because your videos are so good and informative! Thanks
Ohh, gonna definitely start pinching my flowers. I don't know why people don't mention it. Such a good trick. I have to restart all my seedlings again. Beetles got to mine :c
Yes, again please! 😊
I back fill my grow bags. It works fine. I don't have patience to constantly hill and I don't want to worry about green potatoes
Makes sense to me!
I am so glad to see the updates! I love that.
I've been using that Mykos for years and it is amazing stuff. Hope it works out great for you as well! 🍅
Love your videos I've been dealing with root knot nematode myself I thought they were in my soil from the beginning when I originally built the bed turns out I used bagged soil fill all of my beds it's Kellogg's brand raised bed and potting mix I also mixed in bags of black cow manure and the plants did okay for a little while and then I started having all kinds of problems when I pulled the plants up they all had big stumpy lumps all up and down the roots so I filled up 5 gallon buckets with only the Kellogg's brand raised bed and potting mix planted cucumbers tomatoes and peppers started having a ton of problems with the plants pulled them out and the same stumpy lumpy bumps all over the roots grow a bunch of marigolds and then chop and drop and bury them that's how I was able to get rid of them in my raised bed
I am trying to fill the bed with french marigolds this year in hopes of them helping, fingers crossed!
I have had great results with that Mycos powder. I sprinkle it on the roots before I put the plants in the ground/hole or uppot. James Prigioni in NJ, who has a gardening channel, uses it with good results.
Seems to be the real deal!
I’ve been away from my garden almost 3 weeks. I spent a couple of days wrapping all my container tomatoes in the plastic barrier fencing that I had at the house. I’ll see if it kept out the raccoons and squirrels when I get back next week t week. Hopefully they left the potatoes alone too!
Hi Jacques 👋 great video as always! Thanks for the info about zinnias, I didn't know you could top them too. Happy growing 💚
I feel your pain! My grandma used chile flakes for possums and raccoons!

Yay! I always look forward to a new Jacques in the garden video! Can’t help but be jealous that this is your spring garden though. It’s barely averaging 10-12°C (50° F) here in London, UK 🌱
Oof, such a quick season for you guys!
Jacques,
More updates, please--thank you. 😊
Yes please on the update style videos! Very helpful
Your garden looks so lush and beautiful! I can’t wait to do more spring plantings with the new cattle panel arches my husband just set up for me. It’s not a huge garden but hopefully, we can get more produce with our Greenstalks and raised beds 🥰🌷🌼🌻🌞🍅🥬🍆🌶️🥕🥒 I love your videos! Keep them coming 👌🏽
Any amount of home grown produce is an amazing bonus! Best of luck to your spring garden!
I live in Florida left my eggplant in all winter and it's producing
Keep up the great vibes…
I never had any luck sprinkling poppy seeds out in the garden. I started some in the 6 cells and transplanted them this fall for the cool flower method. They worked great! Producing the most beautiful blooms daily right now. Breaking the rules pays off sometimes. :)
Totally! Glad to hear I am not the only one!
i was literally thinking “what a shame i will have to wait for an update” then to my surprise - you gave one! good to know what my plants should look like if they are doing well
Glad to hear you enjoyed this!
@@jacquesinthegardeni always do! 🌱
Is that the straw from epic gardening? That had so much grass growing.
Enjoyed the updates and also your Logo 🙌🏻
Great lighting in this video! And 🤬 those raccoons! We are growing some of the same tomato types this year, be fun to compare notes on how they do in different climates
Thank you! The racoons have for sure pushed my patience this year but the chili flakes seem to have really sent the message home. Will be interested in comparing tastes as well!
I add mykos and azos when I plant all my veggies amount a few other things. Have found it to make a huge difference in plant health and almost zero fertilizer needs
I am excited to try it more across the garden this year.
