🎈Happy Birthday Jacques!🥳 I hope the next 365 days are filled with adventures (maybe of the gardening kind - but who knows?), fun, and that you are surrounded by people who love you.
I love that Jacques never encountered Creeping Charlie before, we have it all over the NE coast area... We have all the creepers, Creeping Charlie, Creeping Jennie, and Virginia Creeper and all three are a pain in the neck. I barely have the motivation to weed my own garden, never mind someone else's, great work Jacques!
Those wild roses are all over in New England and they smell divine and have the hugest rose hips! They're all over the garden at the Portland Head Light in the summer.
Fun video. I like the setup of her garden. We all change things every year based on what didn’t work. Those sheep were cute and I loved how the dog was burying tomatoes. So funny 😂
I loved the conversation about how to plan a garden. It is difficult to "guide" someone else's garden. Keep traveling - it is interesting to see how you reflect compared to your home garden.
Jacques, you are more than welcome to experience winter-grown veggies here in central Montana zone 4 😊 you are always welcome at the Baylor Homestead 😁
Moved to a house with backyard. I'm quite happy. So far the easier veggie to grow is the New Zealand Spinach. It happens that my next door grows them. So I guess they got to my garden somehow and now they are popping up every where.
@@jacquesinthegarden Tithonia is amazing for attracting monarchs traveling south on their way back to Mexico. We have to grow them as an annual here in Zone 5b eastern Nebraska/western Iowa. Sadly there were fewer monarch visitors this year in late summer.
Nice visit! Thx 4 showing sheep! I,get a little bit of that runnung weed in my raied beds. Thought it was a type of clovsr. Always pull them out n throw in green waste.
Jacque, Thanks for the video. What a nice place. It was interesting to see what her garden grows. I like Creeping Charlie, well so far anyway. I bought some a couple years ago for a flower pot.
2:35 Creeping Charlie is typically sold as a border plant here. You're meant to have a solid border between it and your lawn so it doesn't become invasive.
Stick shift is so easy! Highly recommend it!! It’s so much fun! And tractors it isn’t hard at all, clutch is just to engage/disengage transmission, so if you step on it it doesn’t go, if you let iff you go!
Brotherrrr I’m so happy for you! That’s so awesome that you’re getting to do some of this type of design/consulting work. Curious if you learned any of the soil sciences or botany when you were studying? Gardening has made me really want to switch up my path within biology but it’s so hard to nail down.
I live in Zone 8b, with a minimum of a 240 day growing season, highs that 'can' reach 115 f & a maximum of 35 inches of rainfall per year. But, usually, the temps hover in the mid 90s to about 105 f. We usually have 30-60 days of triple digit temps in the mid summer. In my experience, mint plants of all varieties have never been an invasive problem. It may be that they don't get enough water to spread. They have always stayed where I put them. I think that the weather & rainfall totals are the limiting factors. "Your mileage may vary"... :) P.S. Our most invasive weeds are Johnson grass, followed by wild blackberries & mustang grapes. Mustang grapes are extremely destructive. They can pull down fences, power poles, trees & structures given enough time. Count your blessings???
I was wondering if Jaques had lots of allergies working in this garden. That beautiful yellow flower is northern goldenrod. It gives off so many allergens that ppl in the northeast dread the fall. Sadly, someone in my TX neighborhood is growing it as an ornamental
Interesting but different video Jacques. I watched your last video with the fun guy that talked about mushrooms. He is the same guy from the interview from The Beet, right? Did i miss hear her or did she call you Kevin twice or Jack? Does Melissa work for Epic G? Just a bit confused really as it wasn't put into context why you were at this place? I knew you were in Maine but not sure if i missed the connection of this place? We did this layering on the asparagus bed that year you did it and nothing happened. I think it was too dry and hubby didn't keep up with the watering. The ones we grew in a crate in the bathroom did well. Thinking about it, it would have been great to do it this year what with our weather but hubby said no to mushrooms this year due to the fungus gnat issue we had but hopefully next year we can try again. Not seen that issue with the tomatoes before. Could you cut that bit out and still eat it or does it mean it is totally bad?
Creeping Charlie, my biggest enemy! No matter how much I weed, it always comes back. And because all my neighbors' garden have it, I really can't do anything.
This is very timely for me. I have a wine cap block in my fridge that I really need to get out in the yard. I have 2 bales of hay sitting around waiting for a purpose. I have a small wood chipper. Can I use any kind of wood chips inside the layers?
It seems to have been anthracnose and early blight. It can be a challenge I am not sure if the winter kills anything like that up here. I would recommend rotating or planting resistant varieties
Is toxic squash an actual thing? I'm worried , I've planted seed pumpkins and seed zuccini but also have volunteer ones that have come from compost... how do you tell
Don't even worry about it. It's so rare and mostly people who have never had it talkabbot it for shock value. You might, by chance, get fruit that doesn't taste that great. More than likely not am issue, as the woman in this video didn't either.
It is generally super obvious actually. The squash will be bitter and taste gross. If it is too bitter to enjoy then don't eat it and you should be totally good. Most volunteers are likely totally fine.
This Maine content is making my heart full! 🥹🥰💚 Just know.. anytime going forward you visit Maine I would be happy to facilitate anything to make your visit enjoyable! It’s a surprisingly amazing place to garden! I think lots of folks write us off but we can GROW!! Haha! 💚
“…everyone’s garden is epic in its own way.” Love that Jacques!
Every garden has something that makes it epic and there is always something in every garden that makes it special!
Really loving the 'Jacques in the Wild' segments
I see a move to the country in your future Jacques - you look very serene out there with the peace & the sheep 😊
🎈Happy Birthday Jacques!🥳 I hope the next 365 days are filled with adventures (maybe of the gardening kind - but who knows?), fun, and that you are surrounded by people who love you.
Jacques in someone else's garden. I love this series.
North Spore is such an amazing company! We have grown spores in the garden, grow boxes and also the supplements are amazing.
That's awesome, I didn't get a chance to check out the supplements but they definitely do everything right!
I love that Jacques never encountered Creeping Charlie before, we have it all over the NE coast area... We have all the creepers, Creeping Charlie, Creeping Jennie, and Virginia Creeper and all three are a pain in the neck. I barely have the motivation to weed my own garden, never mind someone else's, great work Jacques!

Sweet garden on a dream plot of land. Mushroom 🍄🍄🟫 bed 👌.
Love her cap. Great job Jacques 👨🏻🌾
Happy Birthday, Jacque!
Fun video. I like the setup of her garden. We all change things every year based on what didn’t work. Those sheep were cute and I loved how the dog was burying tomatoes. So funny 😂
So glad you got to come visit us up here in beautiful Maine!
happy (belated) birthday jacques 🤗 i hope you enjoyed every second.

Happy Birthday Jacques!!!🎉🎂🥳🎉🥳🥳🎂
Happy birthday Jacque!! You are awesome
Jacques, you are more than welcome to experience winter-grown veggies here in central Montana zone 4 😊 you are always welcome at the Baylor Homestead 😁
The pup was hilarious! Nice trip!
I’ve never been first! Love the channel and can’t wait for all of your future videos
Thank you! Plenty more videos coming!
честит рожден ден Jacques! 🎂🎈🥳

What a fun place to garden and visit. I hope your family got to go with you and enjoy it too.
The Mexican sunflower is a staple in my garden for the past few years!
I didn't even know they would do well up in Maine!

The sheep were super funny to interact with!
Great video, loved seeing you and your friend at her place. GREAT garden!
Jacque, Thanks for the video. What a nice place. It was interesting to see what her garden grows. I like Creeping Charlie, well so far anyway. I bought some a couple years ago for a flower pot.
Already love it!!!
It's such a pretty garden! You're more than welcome to come and check out my garden here in Australia Jacques! 🙌💚🍅
This is such a pretty property. Thanks for showing us. Great garden. Their native bed is gorgeous!
In our area San Diego/Riverside counties, Creeping Charlie is a popular house plant!! 😀
Creeping Charlie is one of easier weeds in my garden. Quack Grass is the worst! Love these videos!
interesting video...thank you for sharing gardening in Maine

Creeping Charlie is typically sold as a border plant here. You're meant to have a solid border between it and your lawn so it doesn't become invasive.
Not sure what to do with myself when Jacques doesn't have his hat on 🤪
That was so much fun!
I need to start mushrooms. I've been nervous. I've done a few boxed types for the kitchen. It was really cool.
It's super easy for the most part! Wine cap and oysters are very forgiving and super easy to identify without issues!
Thank you 😊@@jacquesinthegarden
Creeping Charlie and barren strawberry are the banes of my gardening existence lol
Edit: Buttercups, too!
I grew up in San Diego and now live in Maine so this trip is particularly pertinent to me!
Stick shift is so easy! Highly recommend it!! It’s so much fun! And tractors it isn’t hard at all, clutch is just to engage/disengage transmission, so if you step on it it doesn’t go, if you let iff you go!
Funny that creeping Charlie is sold as a ground cover or hanging basket plant in my area.
Love this episode even though I garden urban in the central highlands of Mexico.
I grew castor beans a few years ago. Beautiful plant! I haven’t grown it since as my dogs are garden helpers
Ahh yeah considering the toxicity probably a good point to consider
Have been enjoying your videos when you were in Maine. How did you get to go there? Always enjoy your very informative videos. Always learn something.
I would love a property like that on a hill... just something about the view.
Also.. beautiful dog! 🤍

Jacques the garden explorer! Haha!
I live in Maine and I am bummed that I missed you
Also does this lady have a channel? Been longing for more Maine garden channels
No she doesn't have a channel but I will probably be back up there again!
Omg creeping Charlie is a MENACE in my central IL garden
“…this base layer, which is kind of like the main layer, here…especially somewhere like Maine!” I see what you did there 👀 9:10
EPIC VIDEO, Jacques. Really enjoyed it. Love your videos and Eric's, oops, Kevin's too. 😂😂😂
Haha Eric needs to come up to Maine next time!

Creeping Charlie is the bane of my existence. It is currently taking over my lawn 🙃
The vista Immaculate - yes bro
This dude knows an epic vista when he sees one! Epic hang in the clearing at night 👀
She called him Kevin 🤣
I was like ummmmm nope, and called him J or Jack 😂
I’d love a video about “Jacques in Real Life,” a.k.a. “”Jacques OUTSIDE the Garden…”
I was wondering if Jaques had lots of allergies working in this garden. That beautiful yellow flower is northern goldenrod. It gives off so many allergens that ppl in the northeast dread the fall. Sadly, someone in my TX neighborhood is growing it as an ornamental
Creeping charlie is the worst! It looks and smells cool, but it won't stop taking over my lawn and flower garden (southern Iowa)
Interesting but different video Jacques.

Don't worry about 'toxic squash' people! It's super rare. There should be a rule that you can't talk about it unless you actually experienced it!
Is it too late to start the straw mushrooms for overwinter here in the east cost zone 6?
Creeping Charlie, my biggest enemy! No matter how much I weed, it always comes back. And because all my neighbors' garden have it, I really can't do anything.
I'm interested in growing some wine cap mushrooms from North Spore in Zone 6b (Michigan). When is the best time of year to start growing/order spawn?
This is very timely for me. I have a wine cap block in my fridge that I really need to get out in the yard. I have 2 bales of hay sitting around waiting for a purpose. I have a small wood chipper. Can I use any kind of wood chips inside the layers?
I think their website has a spreadsheet or chart with the preferred woods... he used maple, maybe that would work for you?
@@CWorgen5732 oh thanks, I'll check it out. I have the most access to oak.
My dad used to plant a castor bean plant at the front of every row. He believed it kept out some pest...I want to say moles.
Where did u end up putting rotten tomatoes n plants to kill virus/bacteria n will she b able 2 plant there next spring?
It seems to have been anthracnose and early blight. It can be a challenge I am not sure if the winter kills anything like that up here. I would recommend rotating or planting resistant varieties
A climate with 40-50 inches of rain annually will have amazingly large and beautiful flowers, vegetables and weeds. Ask me how I know.
Creeping Charlie is a member of the mint family you can eat it
I'm surprised that the sheep don't have an issue with eating apples !? I know cows can actually get drunk as apples will ferment in their stomach.
You want to see weeds, come to Houston 😂

You don’t have creeping Charlie???????
Jack
Driving a tractor is the basic reason to learn to drive stick!!!
Please don't breath in mushroom spores
So many commercials
