    The most important thing I try to put in every year is pumpkins. I plant them in odd corners of my garden and let them ramble over everything. They're incredibly easy to grow, just glop some pith and seeds down with some compost and check it every so often. 6 months later there's pumpkins. It's one vegetable that no matter how busy or exhausted I am I can find the time and energy to start them off and they keep doing their thing with very little input, and though I do like to get out there with a paintbrush and give them a little help it's not really necessary. Harvest in time for pumpkin soup, roasted pumpkin, pumpkin muffins, oh my.

If everybody tried to be self-sufficient and grow plants to eat, wow, what a great world this would be. I totally agree with this passion for gardening. I grew up old school with a mother who gardened every year. NONE of us were obese, I was a size 7 when I was 18. It all went downhill after college and going to buffets...but man, I want to go back to the organic Gardening.

    Great stuff once again! Agree that potatoes pretty much grow on their own. The only other few vegetables I'd include would be zucchini/summer squash & garlic. Honorable mention to bok/pak choi (part of cabbage family) and spinach. I suppose it really depends on your climate, sun/shade situation, etc. But tomatoes, zucchini/summer squash, beans (green), peas & garlic are probably my top picks. Love your channel and info!

    Mike I've been watching your channel on and off whenever you roll into my feed. I was at first primarily interested in Ginger, but your passion for gardening ignited my passion for Gardening. You've earned my subscription. This will be my first adult gardening since decades ago when I was a young girl watching my mother garden. We grew up eating healthy organic vegetables every year for at least 2 decades before everybody grew up and moved away to the big cities. So this year, after surviving a 3 year fight with Cancer, I am going to take up gardening. I may have to go back and watch your videos from days gone by...but I enjoy all of your new content too. Please show more videos of how your family cooks or stores the goodies from your garden. I found your last video of the potato stew very sophisticated. I don't think the average gardener could have pulled off your one pot delicious meal. I myself would have boiled or baked the potatoes put some herbs and butter and done. But you took it to the next level with all your herbs, spices and turned it into a 4 hour stew. WOW. I was impressed.

      @letsdiscoverwine 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      My garden philosophy is to grow things that are better (or much, cheaper) than you can buy.
      I don't grow your #10 lettuce because I don't like soft young leaves. I prefer iceberg (better quality and inexpensive in groceries).
      I don't grow carrots. Homegrown are generally not as good as store-bought. I notice that you grow the short cultivars because larger ones are much harder to grow. You don't get much to eat on the short ones.
      I don't grow cabbage. Store-bought is as good or better, and it is a magnet for bugs in the garden. But I love growing its relative: kohlrabi, which is usually old and dry in stores, if you can find it.
      Beets and turnips are a necessity in my garden, but here in Ohio, you have to build a wire frame over beets, or the deer get every bite. I love the roots, but the cooked greens are even better.
      I only grow large field onions to plait them for my kitchen wall. Store-bought onions are as good. But scallions, shallots, and esp. leeks are better home-grown.
      Most home-grown cukes (like Marketmore) taste similar to those in a store. I only grow Straight Eight because of the fabulous taste. As an older variety, it must be sprayed for bugs, or the bugs bring fungus that kills the plant early.
      Little Marvel Peas are #1 in my spring garden. Here in America, either you can't find what we call "English Peas" (shelling peas) in a store, or they are dried up. Snap peas and snow peas are not nearly as good.
      Beans are a necessity, esp. ones that are hard to find in stores: haricots verts, Chinese long beans, dried beans for cassoulet, caviar lentils.
      Over half of my summer garden is tomatoes: the new heritage hybrids (Brandy Boy, Genuwine), the great reliable classics (Big Boy, Early Girl), the best cherries (Sun Gold, Sun Sugar), and a wonderful French Import (Jaune Flamme').
      The only potato that I grow is yummy Kennebec because I can't get it in a store.
      You left out some necessities:
      I grow Golden Bantam corn because stores only carry those sickeningly sweet newer bicolor cultivars.
      Next to tomatoes, the main crop in my summer garden is eggplant: Black Beauty and Rosa Bianca.
      There are home-grown peppers that beat everything in any store: Marconi and genuine Hatch (NuMex 6-4).

This is my first attempt with the cement mixer and it certainly saves your back! I have red cabbage growing superbly, beetroots are coming on, spring onions, eggplant, wild basil, chilli, capsicum, choko, and leek.

And it was unbelievable, but he went back 3 prescriptions. We don’t know if it was the entire diet of all raw fruit n vegys or if it was the carrots 🥕 but we were thankful.

    So my mother came home from the hospital with the diagnosis of ovarian cysts. Docs were worried about them turning cancerous, talking about putting her under the knife, giving her sketchy medication. So it was some daunting news.
    Before my parents decided to go that route, my father did some research on natural alternatives. Found out about beets. My mother didn't like beets, and wasn't thrilled when he approached her about it. But considering the alternatives, they went ahead and everyday my father started juicing beets for her. EVERYDAY, I heard that juicer whirring away, and he calling her into the kitchen to make her stand over the sink and down it.
    At her follow up appointment, the doctors were stunned to find that there were no longer cysts. The beets had seemeingly vaporized them.

    My husband and I love your videos. We are living on the coast in Oregon USA. We are learning so much from you and appreciate your knowledge. We are getting some of the Birdies garden beds. We have been using wood. This year for some reason our carrots have not grow well, not sure if it’s the seeds? We noticed this year our seeds aren’t growing well. I wish I could get a shovel like yours. Thanks for all you do and keep up the good work with your videos. The Turners
