I love it. "I wanted to grow it". I keep hearing .. that's way to much. I have over 3 dozen varieties of veggies and that's just the spring garden. I am currently mending from a minor surgery, and I am sitting in my urban backyard watching, hummingbirds, finches, sparrows, a Robin, squirrels and pollinators (over 6 kinds of bees) visit my garden. Very relaxing. Love your videos.
Thanks a million, Gardener Scott! You so gently remind me of how "My Garden Is My Own Fingerprint!" We all need reassurance that what we do in our own garden IS OK! l caught the gardening bug a little over 20 yrs, and like you, l'm retired from the military. Since Covid, I've started doing my own seedlings, planting fruit trees, canning, expanding my garden and overwintering! The sky IS the limit! I usually miss your livestreams because I'm home schooling my grands, but I never miss the replay 😊! Thank you again for all you do. 🌱
Garden Scott everyone from beginners to seasoned gardeners should watch this presentation. Growing plants is on the job training and you have provided the information needed to enjoy the gardening journey. This is the first reference to be entered into everyone's garden journal.
In the last year, I've spent hours watching how the sun moves across the yard throughout the day and throughout the year. I cut down a tree, and at least tripled my growing space. This is now my second year gardening, and I have multiple varieties of everything I'm growing because I'm excited to grow and try food that I would never find in stores.
I just built my first raised beds this year following your suggestions. I decided to build 2... and then built a 3rd so I could grow more of what I wanted to grow!
Such pleasant company. And as always, Great advice. The Bob Ross of gardening. Sincerely, as someone who sometimes has a hard time keeping on top of everything that life throws at me, your videos always bring a smile to my face. Thank you for all your content Scott.
I’ve been gardening 40 years. I agree with you on everything you are saying! I’ve gotten trees/bushes and go sit and stare in yard and think of every angle 🤣. I find most gardners are great recyclers too! Amazing all the stuff I’ve recombobulated. Great vid as always Scott! You are an excellent teacher. 👍
Really enjoyed your video. My dad is 95 and a lifelong gardener both as a hobby and his work. His main advice is to enjoy your gardening and what you do and don't worry about the mistakes you might make or the things that don't go to plan. Learn from them and try to avoid making those mistakes again. Very much in line with the advice in your video. Thanks for the great videos. Trevor from Oxfordshire in England.
Nice video. My best tip for other gardeners is any tool you buy, buy the best quality you can afford. Buy once, cry once. Cheap tools break and you end up buying them again.
Another great video. Been growing tomatoes and basil for 40 years but now I am 2 years retired I am growing much more and enjoy your videos and Monday conversations. Thank you and keep those videos coming.
Thank You Gardener Scott for encouraging me to expand my gardening horizon. Oh Yeah I got bit back in the 80's and never stopped. I am growing what "I" want, but that turned into 3 different kinds of coleus and 6 different varieties of petunia. There will be a few people that will be gifted some of those. I did what you said we should do and try growing different plant we have not tried before. I don't have a five year plan. I am married to a man who tells me that" I cant grow everything". Just watch me!
What a great video, it was like you were talking directly to me a relatively new veggie grower but in their late 70’s. I’m learning with such a high seed success that in my wee garden I don’t have room to plant every seedling, I tried last autumn but this year I took that step of not planting out every one but only the strongest. Friends already told me they didn’t need any. It was so hard to discard those unwanted seedlings. Labelling, not only the label but what you use to write on it, another lesson, several I’ve made only to find the ink faded or washed off leaving me with all my collards unnamed, and for a new gardener they all looked the same until fully grown. Gardener Scott you are a natural teacher, thank you for all your sharing and your time too.
Thank you, Mr. Scott! I am learning so much from your videos! This is the first year that I took gardening serious and I’m loving it. I know that after COVID a lot of people started gardening, some may quit and some may stay harvesting away. I know that I’m going to keep going! ;-) thank you again for all your guidance.
Yes! I have plenty of space and after the last year I feel almost ashamed that I never put it to use! I discovered TH-cam looking for videos on chicken keeping (for the chicks I already had in the brooder in the kitchen 😁) and the chicken keepers I found were Homesteaders who were also growing ALL the things! I kept looking and started a tiny garden last year which is expanding very rapidly this year. I'm back to work now so time will be a challenge but, I think I'm up to the task and if not, I'll learn a few things along the way!!! Have a great day! 😊😊😊
Thank you Gardner Scott! Your videos are so very helpful! You are appreciated! To me gardening is more about personal growth than food growth, although the food is a nice perk! 😊 Thank you so much for sharing your infinite knowledge with everyone! Forever learning!!! ♥️🌱♥️🌱♥️🌱♥️🌱♥️🌱♥️🌱♥️
Another great video, thank you, Gardner Scott! Not only do you teach the fundamentals of gardening, you also teach the JOY of gardening. I learn so much from all of your videos - even ones for veggies I don’t care for! I always learn something new and interesting that makes me a better gardener. Thank you! 👏👏
I have started making my compost right in my raised bed. I will take it weekly from one end to the other and after about 3 months, I stop adding new material, but continue to “turn” it. After another 3 months, it is pretty much done. I then just level it out and plant right in the compost. It does mean them at bed is out of production for growing, but it is producing a fabulous bed for the future. It is fun for me!
Enjoy gardening. That is wonderful advice. We get so worked up and stressed out with pest, watering, and soil health issues that we forget that this is a hobby for most of us. Thank you for the wisdom. I do a lot of what you said--i started a lasagna bed after one of your videos and it's rewarding to see it break down, composting, trying a little back to eden setup in this unused patch , raised garden bed and containers. I experiment and grow a new plant just because. Thank you for helping me enjoy gardening
Being a retired farmer/truck driver,, I treat each garden bed like a small farm field and work it like we used to the farm. We try to cover the bed with ground cover, add some manure and replant the crop in the summer. No sprays or commercial fertilizer....
One of the best bang for your buck crops is okra. It's $2.99 for a 1/2 lb at the grocery store. For that much you can buy enough seeds to grow 50-100 lbs. It's also pretty easy to grow. Brussel sprouts are another one. They are a little harder to grow though. Green beans, salad and cooking greens, peppers, just about everything you grow gives you a good bang for your buck.
Love your videos, Gardener Scott! I'm also in the Front Range and the weather makes it a frustrating place to garden, so I'm grateful for your positive attitude. I'd love to see you make a video showing all the ways you reuse things like milk jugs, etc., around your garden. Thanks!
Love your philosophy, I am the same. My mom only plants what's the most practical. But I want to experiment with the more demanding plants, so I bought 9 blueberry bushes, been growing them in growing bags, and I'm growing lemons and oranges indoors (zone 5), and I also like to try more extravagant varieties.
You sound just like me!😆 I’m now on the search for blueberry plants and haskaps.. I’m venturing out into learning more about fruit trees and bushes! I love my veggies but I love fruits more so that’s what I intend on doing for me is expanding to fruits in my area zone 4b(eastern Ontario Canada) happy growing!🌻
been watching your videos from December......you have a complete picture way of explaining things and it has kept me on track when i was unsure of a how or when..... keeping track of what i do with a notebook has been the best advice for me. i have improved and prepared last years raised beds....added a new one. I bought my seed starting supplies and seeds early!! now i have seedlings ready for their first transplant. I have made notes and already have ways to improve my starts next year. My gardening hobby is now year round instead of several weeks in summer and my enjoyment has grown. Thank you for your continued efforts and wisdom.
Doing it your own way is certainly good advice. I get frustrated and usually tune out when someone says that the only way to do something is my way. One guy says that everyone else is wrong and he is right! I also try all kinds of things. Some were a disaster, some have worked out amazingly well. Every garden is different.
You always have such good advice. I planted kale last year and with 20 degrees below... who knew how hardy it is. There it was this spring and I’m making myself a salad with it today in May, who knew. So glad to have found your u tube thanks
When I was propagating my garlic to build it up, people suggested eating the scapes had having it as green garlic, but I needed to grow it to larger numbers before doing that. Now that I have silly amounts of garlic, now is the time for me to do those things, and cooked green garlic by itself is amazingly delicious, and one can eat many of them at once and every day, so to do that you need a ton of garlic, so grow those top bulbs and spread them everywhere, when you know how delicious they are you will know what to do with all of it, when you can do so without depleting it~
I am spontaneous Gardner. I learned a lot from you and others for the last three years. I Started seeds and don’t even know what plant where. I mapped the sunset and rise and the beds that are good for certain plants. But as far as what to plant where? I don’t think I planned that out. Thanks
That is such great advice. Thank you for calming my nerves and insecurities about gardening. I hope this season and many more seasons will be fun and rewarding. 🥰
I killed some seedlings today, and it WAS hard. Two were struggling, but two fatalii peppers were perfectly beautiful. But I have lots of reaper and scorpion seedlings doing even better, and I just don’t NEED more hot peppers. But it was really hard to do it.
On my carrots, I've planted a bunch and not thinned them intentionally. I like baby carrots and adult carrots. So I harvest each as they get to the size I want. The first few harvests tend to be babies but by harvesting them as babies, it makes room for the immature carrots to mature into adults. That might just work in TX, though.
I did that a few years ago. It was rotted in the middle so i hollowed it out as much as I could, filled with mix of native soil and compost and planted flowers. Looked great, friends and neighbors loved it. Unfortunately it rotted to the point it began falling apart so I took it down but it was a great way to use a stump, much more enjoyable than removing a stump, the remains made a great addition to the compost pile.
@@stevejohnson7118 Hi.I am cutting down about 40 to 50 trees in my "garden" and they are fresh stumps.I am just going to cut out the middle with a chainsaw and see how it works.didn't find many videos on youtube about this topic.
I've used pots on tree stumps, but never dug out the center to plant in. Depending on how much space you prepare it should work as a pot for most plants.
Very good, but I don't know about saving money. Sure, the herbs can, especially the perennials, but it seems you're always buying something for the garden. As years go by and you build up a supply of tools and other needs, it'll be less each year out of your pocket, but I wouldn't advise going into it to save money. As for enjoyment, reward and other pleasure, it's great! ...until the animals get to it. :)
Have you ever used fish emulsion through your drip irrigation? I have a fertilizer injector installed. According to the directions of fish emulsion it’s 2 tablespoons to 1 gallon of water fertilizes 25 square feet. Now I’m fertilizing about 240 square feet. From my math I need to add about a cup and a quarter to the injector reservoir. My next question is how much fish emulsion is too much or how much can burn the plants?
I tried that once many years ago and had problems with the emitters clogging. Too much fertilizer can harm plants. First, identify nutrient deficiencies in your soil to determine how much is needed and then consider just fertilizing a few times during the season.
Gardener Scott, how long does the wood in your raised beds last? I have wooden raised beds too and I'm hoping they'll last several years before I have to redo them.
Hello Margaret, I was wondering the same as I’m now in the process of deciding which materials I’m going to go with for my raised beds.. I have AS and I know that in the years to come I won’t be able to bend and lean over as well so I’m planning for the future me.
It depends on the wood. I use pressure-treated wood in the base and it lasts at least 5-7 years and often longer if not exposed to extreme conditions. The basic fir on top begins showing wear and tear earlier but can still last many years.
I love it. "I wanted to grow it". I keep hearing .. that's way to much. I have over 3 dozen varieties of veggies and that's just the spring garden.

My first year doing raised garden beds. I like how I have been able to work with the soil.
Walking out to the raised beds to pick lettuce or radishes or whatever is needed for dinner just never gets old.
Thank you MG Scott, as always sound and great advice. It’s so enjoyable to reuse what we would otherwise throw in the garbage.
I love that nodding peacock
Does anyone know where to get one? My mom mentioned that she liked it, would love to get it for her as a surprise!
You Mr. Scott, are the reason for a nice part of my happiness. I owe you big 🤙🏽👏👏👏
Lots of good advise once again! Great to see your bird house is now occupied.
I noticed that, too.
Eclectic gardening! Love your philosophy and encouragement, Gardener Scott.

Hi Scott. New Gardner here and wondering, have you ever used a tree stump as a flower pot? if so what did you put in it and how did it work.
I did that a few years ago. It was rotted in the middle so i hollowed it out as much as I could, filled with mix of native soil and compost and planted flowers. Looked great, friends and neighbors loved it.

I got it at a roadside stand outside Santa Fe, NM.
I tried red Russian kale during the winter for abundant food during winter, the kale became a weed 😂
What's with the mailbox in the back yard?
It's for tool storage. Here's my video that discusses it: th-cam.com/video/IIrpGCqcc6E/w-d-xo.html
1 year in....Ive been bit!

I was very impressed!! Thank you so much!! You are like master Yoda to me
I think a major failure is calling ways of gardening 'methods', and treating them as Immutable Templates instead of as the Teaching Tools they are~
