In India we provide a thing called "alaan" for plants like pumpkins to grow. They are basically a grid of bamboo sticks & some metalic wires, raised ~6 feet above the ground. The pumpkin will climb on it & the fruits will hang. Ground is free, easier to irrigate & maintain.
Some tips: -Cucumbers had fungal disease or were dry (tomatoes and peppers also may be sick) -Old cucumbers are bitter so chose small younger ones -Potatoes are good to eat since early summer (after blooming) just poke a hole in ground and check -Cultivate deep for potatoes because will grow flat (disc shape) -Deep cultivation is good for plants -Late summer break (without ripping from plant) leaves of onion to let underground part grow bigger (check, I may be wrong when to do this) -Onion leaves are yummy with cucumber -I would suggest watering at evening when sun is down because soil will absorb more water -I would suggest planning few lettuces every 3-4 weeks than all in ones -On seed package should be some useful information (planting date, plants per square foot, harvest date)
If you decide to water in the evening, DO NOT hit the leaves. Wet leaves will stay wet if the sun is down and that's the n.1 cause for fungal diseases like powdery or downey mildew.
Some other pointers: Sprouts: - Make sure you water the ground enough for each plant, moist soil is essential to getting good sprouts - Get some fertilizer, brussels love a high nitrogen fertilizer on the top of the soil and this is likely the reason you didn't get any. Pumpkins: - Grow and train them into lines. For those size beds you are probably looking at 2 or 3 lines of plants which should get you around about 15~ pumpkins - Don't be afraid of pruning new shoots, don't let them waste their energy growing excessively big. If you've got 4-5 pumpkins growing on a plant then you can prune the plant so it makes the fruits bigger. Bare in mind on smaller varieties you'll want 10~ fruits per plant. - Get some wood/cardboard or even some plastic film and place it under each growing pumpkin this will help keep them mark free / rot free because if they sit on soil they can start rotting away. (You can buy plastic pumpkin holders which is a bowl type item that has a spike on it so you can keep the pumpkin off the floor) Carrots: - If you want bigger carrots try and loosen the soil with sand, broken leaves. Also make sure you thin them out so you don't have any overcrowding. Onions: - Your onions looked on the small side, you probably either didn't water enough or there was a lack of nitrogen in the soil. These can also suffer with dense soil just like the carrots. - They also looked like they were picked too early, most onions you leave to grow until the tops fall over, die and feel like paper. Peas: - They 100% had too much sun, you could even potentially grow these in with your corn plants because they like similar soils and the pea plants will get support from the corn plants + shade from the corn plants. Cucumbers: - Remember most (if not all) cucumbers are climbers so they need something to grow up (the plants can get heavy so make sure it's very sturdy) - This is probably because they were getting too much sun but it could have also been irregular soil conditions. If you have dry soil and then wet soil they don't like it. Try to keep the soil moist. You'll find most cucumbers will grow much better in a polytunnel or a greenhouse because everything stays moist and humid. - Check your soil nutrition because a few of the above plants could have been affected by lack of nitrogen. Cucumbers will get a bitter taste with a lack of nitrogen. - Make sure you prune side shoots! Other: - Add some separators! - Consider dedicating one area of the beds for plants for bees, you can never have too many bees! Rosemary, Chives, Borage, Oregano, Mint, Fennel, Sage, Thyme and Lemon balm are all fantastic choices with the first 4 being the best because they do well in dry/sunny conditions.
As for potatoes, here in the netherlands the farmers grow them in mounts same goes for the aspergagus (?). Also if you want more information the Wageningen University is the university which does alot of research into efficient farming. There website will probably contain a lot of answers to your problems.
regarding onions, there are long day, neutral, and short day onions. for example the "walla walla" strain is considered a "long day" because once the daylight hours hit 14 hours of sunlight per day the bulb growth stops, (so in south central Kentucky that's about the beginning of June) and shortly after that (a week or so) is when you'd want to bend over those tops. to get super large onions, start them inside in late summer, plant them out in fall, mulch well, and depending on your climate you may need to put up a row cover to keep them from freezing over the winter. in spring pull off the row cover, and let 'em grow! there is a higher rate of bolting (sending up flower heads) in overwintered and onion sets (the tiny baby onion bulbs for planting) because as far as they're concerned it's their second year and it's time to reproduce, just cut the flower stalk off to direct the plant's energy back to bulb production. unless you have an heirloom/open pollinated strain and want to try producing your own onion seeds, then let 'em bloom, but be aware that the onion bulbs from those plants won't be as flavorful or keep as well as plants that were not allowed to bloom and produce seeds.
This may get lost in the comments, but here's a tip for super hot Jalapenos: When planting, take a half an eggshell, fill it with Used Coffee grinds, and then put the Jalapeno seeds inside the coffee grinds inside the egg shell, and bury that just below the surface. Makes the hottest and most abundant Jalapenos I've ever had, probably due to the Acidity of the mixture.
Gardening comment sections are the best. I would aim only for slighly ! hot peppers ;) But the principle for sure can be transferred to other plants if they like a little acidity.
I never imagined I would ever watch a 30 minute video about gardening. Only with the love and wholesomeness that comes from these two cuties could make me want to watch more! You guys are so cool, and good luck with the garden.
@@GusGusNoFuss if you want to give it try start super small and easy. Radishes are ready from seed in about 40 days or less and can be in a bucket. Nice way to get your feet wet.
I decided to watch this just because and am glad I did. It is awesome seeing those two in videos together! They seemed to have pretty good success, for the most part! I liked the idea of the garden design (which I never saw the original video of him building it).

In terms of suggestions: You may want to get some tomato plants next year, but remember to add supports, as they tend to snap undet hew weight of their own fruit if not supported properly. It takes some work, but the reward of your very own tomatoes is worth it. And since You had some success with carrots, You may also consider getting beetroot, turnips and kohlrabi s next time. One thing to consider - Your brussles sprouts are a TWO YEAR plant, so you harvest them in the second year. This is why you had nothing this year. It's awesome to have them, but at some point they tend to get big and with how You've planted them, half of them at least would have to go. Also kohlrabi s are a two year plant, some beetroots can also be a two year plants, but some are harvested within the same season. You should really read about every plant harvest, because it's not just about when the harvest season is, but also how many seasons have passed since planting. Hope this helps:)
Fun tip, plant your peas next to your corn. They'll grow up the stalk and be shaded. Also, if you plant watermelon and cucumber near each other you'll get weird hybrids.
Some tips from my experience: 1. Those pumpkins will be coming back year after year...for a while. Probably until you remove all the dirt and replace it. You wont need to plant more. 2. Never spray the leaves of your plants with water. The sun will burn them. They absorb their nutrients, energy and water intake from their rooting system which is buried (hopefully) in the dirt/compost mix. 3. Adding mulch around your plants will also help them retain water, and also break down overtime which will add more nutrients to your soil mix. 4. If you prune back leaves and vines without nodes or growth on them, it will allow more sunlight to hit your garden. It will also promote more growth/flowering for the plants. 5. You will know when plants are done when they begin to develop flowers on them. 6. The white things on the corn are called "husks". The corn looks beautiful! 7. Never grow any vine (pumpkin, watermelon) all in the same bed. They will overtake the garden and eventually only the strongest plant will survive. A "trellis" system works amazing for vines. 8. The watermelon test is correct, yellowish skin and a hallow sound, but bare in mind the duration of growth they may not be ready. 9. Planting flowers around your garden will help with pollination (attract bees and butterflies - pollinators) keep bugs away, and can deter animals. 10. To save costs with your raised garden beds, you can try filling them with some leftover shrubbery, sticks, logs, and leaves (stay away from grass clippings). Top it off with some mulch/straw or compost. The rooting system probably only reaches about 18cm so you dont need to fill the entire unit. 11. The seed packages themselves have the amount of days it takes for the plant to be ready. It also provides details on how to plant the seeds, where to plant them, the different soil types required, and how much sun they need. Sometimes it helps to start them indoors. After the last frost, plant them outside. Best of luck with your pumpkin nightmare! They spread like wildfire. I wouldnt wish that upon my worst enemy.
I've never seen two people who knew so little about gardening have such great success and, even more important, so much fun, doing it. Great video! Your accessibility related videos are very inspirational.
Brussel sprouts are the best after a night of frost. They turn their starch into glucose, which acts as an anti freeze but also makes them sweeter. The same is true for kale
I love how you guys put so much effort in that garden, rather than buy a fancy house in the most exclusive neighborhood, you are happy with that lifestyle! I'd love to be able to get a big area to grow my own food. My passion is cacti and I know someday I'll have a badass greenhouse full of cactus from all around the continent. Plants are the best!
You should grow tomatoes. Tomatoes from the store are actually half ripe in flavor because they have to be picked early for shipping, so home-grown tomatoes are very flavorful compared to store because you can pick them when they're actually ripe.
And you can pick them over a course of several weeks, because they get ripe in different times (and are even longer fresh than tomatoes bought in the store)
Yea hierarchy of tomotoes is homegrown > canned > store bought. Canned/frozen produce is usually pretty ripe but canned tomatoes just figured it out haha
Tip 1: peas grow with partial sunlight with a trellis on the side of the barn or house. Tip 2: The peppers grow best with fish emulsion when you plant the seeds. Tip 3: grow Marygolds between plants. They are a natural bug repellent and they attract bees. Question: Do you have a compost pile? Are you saving all of your old plants for compost? Tip 4: Turn your soil over in February with compost.
Regarding the brussel sprouts: you might have given up too early. Usually, they are harvested after the first frost. Judging by the footage it is just to early/warm for them to form the small heads.
When you are removing excess flowers from the pumpkins plant, those are a treat you can fry them and are delicious. Fiori di zucca . Cheers love your not-teardown video keep it up!
Get a drip (soaker) hose to lay in the plant beds and run along near the plants so that you can water at the base and roots without having to "burn" the plants by spraying water on them and leaving water drops on the leaves to act like magnifying glasses to amplify the sun, helps to stop getting fungus growth on the leaves as well. Vine varieties of Pumpkins need 50 - 100 square feet per hill (mound that the seeds are planted in). Pumkins need 4 feet between hills and 8 feet between rows, you can get up to 6 pumpkins off one plant and up to 12 from miniature varieties (plant those 2 feet apart). With your vine Pumpkins you can just plant them at one end and just control the direction the vines go as they get longer and make them go the length of the plant beds. Nice looking raised bed system you built! Also, buy ladybugs and praying mantis to put in the plant beds and control pest infestations, and certain flowering plants near the garden will attract and support insects that eat bad bugs in the garden!
We too. Our origins are from Bangladesh, mum makes a batter then dips the pumpkin flowers in it and shallow fries them. And also the leaves and some stems are havested and cooked like spinach with diced potatoes, then lightly fried off with garlic 😋
The first year I grew a pumpkin plant (one pumpkin plant) was the last year I grew a pumpkin plant. It took over my decking. The pumpkins were so large I couldn’t pick them up. Difficult to get a grip underneath them when they get big. Never again. It was a great experience, my friends and family were amazed with the attacks of the pumpkins. This is a great video, summarises what gardening is about. A fun journey full of experiences, laughs, mistakes, pride, excitement, disappointments, learning and becoming inspired for the next season.

I just realized Zack and Thanos share alot of things: -They both are bald -They both are farmers -They both have a sexy voice -They both like to destroy things -They both like to snap their fingers -Jerry said he's going to put less pumpkins seed next year, so he wants things to be balanced, just like Thanos.
From what I've heard, first year jalapenos are mild. Second year jalapenos can be quite hot. and after that they are generally "normal". My dad's aunt used to make salsa from her plants and the second year batch was really good for tests of courage or endurance.
@@insanebombgamer Most vegetables can be overwintered, but 99% of the plants will die at the end of the year because farmers and home gardeners don't both to overwinter. Peppers only survive winter outside in mild climates. It also was not a Jalapeno. Shape and color was wrong and the flesh was not thick enough. I would guess it was a Anaheim/Hatch Pepper. It was too green to be a Banana Pepper, but it was the right shape. There are mild or heatless Jalapenos... if you grow any hot pepper, the heat is related to the stress the pepper has, more stress, more heat. While the plant is growing fruit, don't water it at times, you will get hotter peppers. I grew Jalapenos, Bells, Pepperoncini, Anaheim, Serrano and Cayenne peppers this year.
My grandma used to pick all those pumpkin flowers and all the topped off runner vines that are still young and make it into pretty good strir fry along with pepper. You should try it so the pumpkin patch is also under control
Drip irrigation would do really well there. It only waters the soil instead of the plant. Wet leaves at the wrong time of day can actually harm some plants.The leaves never need water, just the roots. That can be pretty tedious when you have a lot of leaves to avoid. With a drip line, you snake a line around on top of the dirt, use sod staples to secure it down, and hook it to some water. Then you can either turn on a valve whenever you want or run it on a timer.
First year gardening as well! Going all out on the tomatoes next year!! Honestly it's such a night and day difference from what you can get in a store (everything else is only marginally better). Would highly recommend the mini and heirloom verities. Also herbs!! Much better than the grocery store that cost 5$ for a tiny pack and you can get some cool verities (highly recommend lemon thyme)
There is a technique called the three sisters. Corn, Squash and beans all together. The plants all provide something to each other. The Squash leaves hold moisture in the soil for the corn and the corn gives the beans something to climb on.
The beans bring nitrogen to the soil and make it thrive. All plants need nutrient wise to thrive is the right amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen increases growth increased phosphorus helps your flower stage and potassium makes your plant strong.
I always wonder how these people acquire so much wealth AND time. he obviously doesn’t have to work that many hours in a week as he has so much time to put into his million dollar property. Be honest. Was it family money? Trust fund? Insurance payout? Insider tip? Lucky investment? Honest investment? Family(interest free) loan/gift?

9:30 it was great to see Cambry is able to move her leg. I've always wondered if you lose all feeling and control or if you're able to still move you leg, but not put weight on it
1. I've had really good luck with strawberries up here in Logan, especially in a raised beds. Literally the best fruit I've ever had, but it might take a year or two to really get going. 2. Powdered milk when planting helps potatoes grow way bigger (like 3x) 3. Green beans also grow well here, if you make a little fence with two lines of wire running horizontally and yarn running up and down across the wire, the plants will grow up it in a neat spiral. Might work out better than snap peas, and they are super forgiving. 4. Some herbs like basil, mint, rosemary, and parsley can actually grow well in Utah, but basil has a tendency to spread everywhere and cross pollinate with mint. 5. You ought to try to grow some mushrooms, wet hay and woodchips along with the spores can grow a ton here. Could be a good collab with Cody's Lab. He is a very good gardener and could provide some neat insights. I know you guys don't live here in Logan anymore, but he's still close enough to collaborate with 🤷♀️ Just some thoughts!
@@samhaokip9126 A lot of good reasons actually. I've done it for better control over soil contents, density, nutrients, and water drainage/retention mainly. It's far easier to fine tune the growing conditions that way. Strawberries can be super temperamental in this climate, and raised gardens have a longer season than in-ground gardens because they are easier to warm early in the spring when the ground is still frozen. It can make a big difference.
I just started my own garden this year too. I was so excited to see how all of my stuff grew and what I'll change next year. I'm happy I can see your first time gardening too, cause everyone else I watch on TH-cam has been doing it for years, so I can see you guys learning too. awesome garden
The flowers of the pumpkin in Italy we use them to fry them app and they look and taste great next time when you get rid of the try and eat them they are really good
Very nice kids, good job for your first year. Plant your peas really early, they should almost be finished by the time the weather is warm enough to stress the plants. Don't be afraid to hack those darned pumpkins back, never hurt them. Plant your lettuce in succession. Half a row every ten days to two weeks, controls the harvest. Your beds would be ideal for some PVC hoops and some shade cloth. Beets and raddish are pretty easy to grow. Wifey and I always planted nasturtiums. They provide some bug control and the colorful flowers have a peppery flavor on salads. Herbs, I almost forgot. Herbs are easy to grow and if you have some favorites the flavors are some much better fresh from the garden. Good luck.
Yes, I was shouting no, no, no when he started riping them out. Those sprouts were the healthiest sprouts I've ever seen, especially since the were also grown without insect mesh 😭😭😭😭
Zach, if you get a load of hose and poke holes in it, then put it all the way round the edge you can just plug it into the tap and it will basically automatically water all the plants from the bottom, we did this for our entire garden and it worked brilliantly 😁
I admire your effort on your garden! I may have many words of advice for you and your garden, but will just share one piece of advice at this stage... When growing 🥕, be sure to use sifted soil to ensure thst there are no stones. Its the stones and/or pebbles in the soil that cause your carrots to grow around them and leave you harvesting "crooked" carrots. P.S. Also investigate in "companion" planting. I.e. plant the right stuff next to or in-between the veggies and herbs! Use plants like nasturtiums to lure away the bad bugs ! Happy gardening! 🤗
You need some mulch it will cut down the ammount of watering needed and decompose which will add nutrients to the soil. you could also add the dead plants from last year like all the pumpkin leaves directly on the soil, but you could also grind or chip it and then use it. mulch would also be nice because your garden soil will natrually sink over time so adding a layer to fill that and it would also add nutrients to the soil slowly over time, mulch also harbers benificial bugs and worms and it will add to increase biodiversity. i would also recomend putting up bird feeders in the area because birds can go in and around your garden and eat bugs and other pests that might hinder your plants growth and birds are just nice to have around. a cool idea is that you could biuld a pond or have a company like aquascape build one for you (they have a great youtube channel and would probally love to collab) build a pond for you then you set up a timer and a pump that will peridiocally pump fish fertilized water into your garden (compared to the drip system i think your gonna to put in) beds this would explode your plant growth compared to tap water it would also make for a great video explaining how the pond system works, the pond would also give you opprotumities to grow edible fish or just show fish pond this would also be great for realaxing and pleasure like feeding your fish and would lead to wonderfull expirences with nature. my opinion is is that the more biodiversity you have the more succesful you will be.
I remember visiting my grandpa's farm in childhood and having fun eating those fresh veggies 😋. Thanks for reminding good old memories. Will definitely have a farm in future! Also you can try to grow some fruits next year. Veggies you can add are tomato, lemons, spinach, broccoli or cauliflower etc
you should never water anything during the day, best time to water is in the morning before sunrise, or at least 2-3 hrs after sunset, but morning is the best
Before I make some suggestions for your next season of gardening, I just wanted to say you guys are an amazing, very talented, hard working, made-for-each-other couple! My very best wishes to you both! ♥️♥️ Lettuce and most salad mix crops are cool season crops. So, plant them early spring and a second crop in late fall. They bolt (flower) in summer with high temperature, and the leaves turn bitter. You can pull them out in summer but leave a few to bolt and harvest seeds for next season. Trellises for the pumpkins won't work due to the weight. Let them grow on the ground. Hope this helps!
Amazing first year results! Next season I am adding an arch between two raised beds to allow melon vines to grow vertically, giving me more bed space for other crops :) the sort I plan to plant is called Emir, it so delicious! There are people that grow small watermelon sorts on arches (depends on the size of the melon and strength of the arch) I think the sort often used is called sugar baby? There are tutorials of how to build cattle panel arches all over TH-cam, maybe this might be something for part of your garden? I also have started gardening in containers, mainly because we have limited space and sun so I can move these about if needed...carrots, beets and tomatoes...potatoes in sacks (add dirt as they grow). Good luck and thanks for sharing your gardening experience, hope your horse enjoyed the carrots...I love sharing mine with my little beagle.
Tomatoes for sure. I recommend cherry tomatoes on a “cattle panel” arch trellis. Mine is 8 feet tall, but yours could be easily shortened (with bolt cutters”) so Cambry could reach the ones at the top. The varieties to consider are “sweet 100s” “sun sugar” “sun gold” and “sweet millions”. You also could use full size cattle panel to control the sprawl of the pumpkins.
We started our brussel sprout plants from seed in April and the year was cooler than normal. They took until the following very early spring to produce sprouts. When they did it was a massive amount and awesome.
Interplanting herbs like Oregano, Basil or pots of Mint - that really keeps the bugs and critters out of the garden. Loved discovering all of this with you!
I'm so curious as for 2 things 1: Why did you let the pumpkins go rouge to the expense of poor little tree :c 2: what are you gonna do with so many pumpkins?
I thought I saw it mentioned, but you needed to give the Brussel sprouts more time. They like the cold weather! Some plants will not put any energy into growing when its too hot (tomatoes won't put out new flowers/fruit for example) so just do a little research on timing. The easiest way is to look up your garden zone, and your areas average last frost/first frost dates, and you can plan around those. If you mound more dirt on your potatoes they would have done a little better. They like to be buried as they grow. I would have also given your carrots more time in the ground as well- they looked so healthy and you guys could have gotten some huge carrots! Just some advice for your 2021 garden: make a plan for what you want to grow and what you want to get out of your garden. Because you have limited space, you can look into companion planting. That way you'll be able to get 2 plants out of the same space, and they'll be beneficial to each other. I keep a notebook of what seeds I buy and where, when I plant them, the days I harvest and how much, so that the next year I can look at what worked well, what I needed more of, and what we had too much of. I'm glad that the gardening bug has bitten you guys! It's so fun and rewarding, and you did a fantastic job on your first garden! My fiance and I love the content you post, and it just shines through how much Zack loves Cambry. You guys are amazing 😊
Next year try adding self-watering system to the garden. Pool liner in all planters then 4-6” weepingtile at bottom of planters. AMAZING results! (my experience from Canada)
I feel your pain with both pumpkins and butternut squash. They’ve taken over my yard/garden area. One technique for potatoes is to start a plant inside of an old tire, then as the plant grows, add another tire and soil. Keep doing this for four or five layers, and at the end of the season, you should have a greater yield than an individual. Peas and beans love trellises as do butternut squash. Love your work on the electric hummwv!
Squash bugs are everywhere in the states and can take down pretty much any squash plant in no time. And when they eventually show up they are near impossible to deal with.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO. This has got to be my favorite video on your channel. I always love the both of you guys doing non-smartphone things. Love love love this video.
With neem oil be sure to spray in the evening so they don't get sunburned! Do a test leaf first to be sure you don't spray the whole plant and lose it if it reacts badly. Beautiful garden. I watched both because I was wistfully wishing I could have a wheelchair garden! It's lovely.
I see we have similar gardening style: the "hmm... I should probably prune that for the sake of every other plant in the garden, but it's growing so well! Let's see how this plays out" method. 🥬🥒🌽🌶️
I see your like my neighbor his entire back yard was pumpkin and half of mine, and 2 others were also pumpkin. (They bought 10 packs of seeds because they went with the idea that if you plant 100 one of them will survive and will make good sized ones)
Hi, I just got on your site. Ssso it's cool for you guys to learn what's what. 1 brussel sprouts grow through the winter and are picked in Feb. Or March. 2 Asparagus takes around 3 year's before you can pick enough and have a patch. 3 Artachoke's take a year to grow, you need 2 ( Male and female) to bear fruit. 4. If you did an wire hoop over the wall way your Vegas well grow through it so you could pick under them. Just my thoughts great job for your first time.

Holup you're the real one

Some tips:
-Cucumbers had fungal disease or were dry (tomatoes and peppers also may be sick)
-Old cucumbers are bitter so chose small younger ones
-Potatoes are good to eat since early summer (after blooming) just poke a hole in ground and check
-Cultivate deep for potatoes because will grow flat (disc shape)
-Deep cultivation is good for plants
-Late summer break (without ripping from plant) leaves of onion to let underground part grow bigger (check, I may be wrong when to do this)
-Onion leaves are yummy with cucumber
-I would suggest watering at evening when sun is down because soil will absorb more water
-I would suggest planning few lettuces every 3-4 weeks than all in ones
-On seed package should be some useful information (planting date, plants per square foot, harvest date)
i thought cucumbers were climbers? and they need the mesh to climb up?
If you decide to water in the evening, DO NOT hit the leaves. Wet leaves will stay wet if the sun is down and that's the n.1 cause for fungal diseases like powdery or downey mildew.
Some other pointers:
Sprouts:
- Make sure you water the ground enough for each plant, moist soil is essential to getting good sprouts
- Get some fertilizer, brussels love a high nitrogen fertilizer on the top of the soil and this is likely the reason you didn't get any.
Pumpkins:
- Grow and train them into lines. For those size beds you are probably looking at 2 or 3 lines of plants which should get you around about 15~ pumpkins
- Don't be afraid of pruning new shoots, don't let them waste their energy growing excessively big. If you've got 4-5 pumpkins growing on a plant then you can prune the plant so it makes the fruits bigger. Bare in mind on smaller varieties you'll want 10~ fruits per plant.
- Get some wood/cardboard or even some plastic film and place it under each growing pumpkin this will help keep them mark free / rot free because if they sit on soil they can start rotting away. (You can buy plastic pumpkin holders which is a bowl type item that has a spike on it so you can keep the pumpkin off the floor)
Carrots:
- If you want bigger carrots try and loosen the soil with sand, broken leaves. Also make sure you thin them out so you don't have any overcrowding.
Onions:
- Your onions looked on the small side, you probably either didn't water enough or there was a lack of nitrogen in the soil. These can also suffer with dense soil just like the carrots.
- They also looked like they were picked too early, most onions you leave to grow until the tops fall over, die and feel like paper.
Peas:
- They 100% had too much sun, you could even potentially grow these in with your corn plants because they like similar soils and the pea plants will get support from the corn plants + shade from the corn plants.
Cucumbers:
- Remember most (if not all) cucumbers are climbers so they need something to grow up (the plants can get heavy so make sure it's very sturdy)
- This is probably because they were getting too much sun but it could have also been irregular soil conditions. If you have dry soil and then wet soil they don't like it. Try to keep the soil moist. You'll find most cucumbers will grow much better in a polytunnel or a greenhouse because everything stays moist and humid.
- Check your soil nutrition because a few of the above plants could have been affected by lack of nitrogen. Cucumbers will get a bitter taste with a lack of nitrogen.
- Make sure you prune side shoots!
Other:
- Add some separators!
- Consider dedicating one area of the beds for plants for bees, you can never have too many bees! Rosemary, Chives, Borage, Oregano, Mint, Fennel, Sage, Thyme and Lemon balm are all fantastic choices with the first 4 being the best because they do well in dry/sunny conditions.
As for potatoes, here in the netherlands the farmers grow them in mounts same goes for the aspergagus (?). Also if you want more information the Wageningen University is the university which does alot of research into efficient farming. There website will probably contain a lot of answers to your problems.
regarding onions, there are long day, neutral, and short day onions. for example the "walla walla" strain is considered a "long day" because once the daylight hours hit 14 hours of sunlight per day the bulb growth stops, (so in south central Kentucky that's about the beginning of June) and shortly after that (a week or so) is when you'd want to bend over those tops. to get super large onions, start them inside in late summer, plant them out in fall, mulch well, and depending on your climate you may need to put up a row cover to keep them from freezing over the winter. in spring pull off the row cover, and let 'em grow! there is a higher rate of bolting (sending up flower heads) in overwintered and onion sets (the tiny baby onion bulbs for planting) because as far as they're concerned it's their second year and it's time to reproduce, just cut the flower stalk off to direct the plant's energy back to bulb production. unless you have an heirloom/open pollinated strain and want to try producing your own onion seeds, then let 'em bloom, but be aware that the onion bulbs from those plants won't be as flavorful or keep as well as plants that were not allowed to bloom and produce seeds.
This may get lost in the comments, but here's a tip for super hot Jalapenos:
When planting, take a half an eggshell, fill it with Used Coffee grinds, and then put the Jalapeno seeds inside the coffee grinds inside the egg shell, and bury that just below the surface. Makes the hottest and most abundant Jalapenos I've ever had, probably due to the Acidity of the mixture.
Mathew! This worked!!! kissing YOU!
YOU ARE A THE MOST MAGNIFICENT PERSON EVER THANKS
Gardening comment sections are the best. I would aim only for slighly ! hot peppers ;) But the principle for sure can be transferred to other plants if they like a little acidity.
Woah!! Thanks man!
I never imagined I would ever watch a 30 minute video about gardening. Only with the love and wholesomeness that comes from these two cuties could make me want to watch more! You guys are so cool, and good luck with the garden.
Gardening is an important skill to have. You never know when it will come in handy. And it's really fulfilling.

In terms of suggestions: You may want to get some tomato plants next year, but remember to add supports, as they tend to snap undet hew weight of their own fruit if not supported properly. It takes some work, but the reward of your very own tomatoes is worth it. And since You had some success with carrots, You may also consider getting beetroot, turnips and kohlrabi
s next time.
One thing to consider - Your brussles sprouts are a TWO YEAR plant, so you harvest them in the second year. This is why you had nothing this year. It's awesome to have them, but at some point they tend to get big and with how You've planted them, half of them at least would have to go. Also kohlrabi
s are a two year plant, some beetroots can also be a two year plants, but some are harvested within the same season.
You should really read about every plant harvest, because it's not just about when the harvest season is, but also how many seasons have passed since planting. Hope this helps:)
same with the asparagus...let's hope they kept it for next year!

Cambridge rigs the garden
Fun tip, plant your peas next to your corn. They'll grow up the stalk and be shaded.
Also, if you plant watermelon and cucumber near each other you'll get weird hybrids.
Hybrids are only if you save the seeds and grow them. The mother plant is still cucumber or watermelon 🍉
Awesome, I wish I new that before. Ty
Yep.. they also suck too much water and steal nutrientsm
Some tips from my experience:
1. Those pumpkins will be coming back year after year...for a while. Probably until you remove all the dirt and replace it. You wont need to plant more.
2. Never spray the leaves of your plants with water. The sun will burn them. They absorb their nutrients, energy and water intake from their rooting system which is buried (hopefully) in the dirt/compost mix.
3. Adding mulch around your plants will also help them retain water, and also break down overtime which will add more nutrients to your soil mix.
4. If you prune back leaves and vines without nodes or growth on them, it will allow more sunlight to hit your garden. It will also promote more growth/flowering for the plants.
5. You will know when plants are done when they begin to develop flowers on them.
6. The white things on the corn are called "husks". The corn looks beautiful!
7. Never grow any vine (pumpkin, watermelon) all in the same bed. They will overtake the garden and eventually only the strongest plant will survive. A "trellis" system works amazing for vines.
8. The watermelon test is correct, yellowish skin and a hallow sound, but bare in mind the duration of growth they may not be ready.
9. Planting flowers around your garden will help with pollination (attract bees and butterflies - pollinators) keep bugs away, and can deter animals.
10. To save costs with your raised garden beds, you can try filling them with some leftover shrubbery, sticks, logs, and leaves (stay away from grass clippings). Top it off with some mulch/straw or compost. The rooting system probably only reaches about 18cm so you dont need to fill the entire unit.
11. The seed packages themselves have the amount of days it takes for the plant to be ready. It also provides details on how to plant the seeds, where to plant them, the different soil types required, and how much sun they need. Sometimes it helps to start them indoors. After the last frost, plant them outside.
Best of luck with your pumpkin nightmare! They spread like wildfire. I wouldnt wish that upon my worst enemy.
Great tips!
Thanks.

My girlfriend was tagging along and urged me to tell you that Brussel sprouts are supposed to be harvested in winter.
I'm just here for the pumpkins
Brussel sprouts are the best after a night of frost. They turn their starch into glucose, which acts as an anti freeze but also makes them sweeter. The same is true for kale
and parsnips

I thought that too
Was coming to comment the same, Brussels are winter. Don’t know your growing season so it may be spring but check growing season for plants :)
I love how you guys put so much effort in that garden, rather than buy a fancy house in the most exclusive neighborhood, you are happy with that lifestyle!
I'd love to be able to get a big area to grow my own food.
My passion is cacti and I know someday I'll have a badass greenhouse full of cactus from all around the continent.
Plants are the best!
Love this as well. Especially after seeing that giant house of whatsinside, the two seem to be pretty down to earth.
The pumpkins are pretty durable, scratches at a level 6 and deeper grooves at a level 7
I was told by the nursery today that when peppers grow fruit that fast, you need to pinch them off so that the plant has energy to grow :)
That makes sense! That's what they say to do with fruit trees too. For like the first few years.
You also do it with strawberries!
This applies pretty much to almost every plant or vegetable...
Hey Zack, your “jalapeños” are “Anaheim Chilies”. I had the same problem this year. All of my jalapeño starts were actually hot peppers.
Never thought I would watch a Gardening video with such an interest😂
You should grow tomatoes. Tomatoes from the store are actually half ripe in flavor because they have to be picked early for shipping, so home-grown tomatoes are very flavorful compared to store because you can pick them when they're actually ripe.
And you can pick them over a course of several weeks, because they get ripe in different times (and are even longer fresh than tomatoes bought in the store)
Yea hierarchy of tomotoes is homegrown > canned > store bought. Canned/frozen produce is usually pretty ripe but canned tomatoes just figured it out haha
The problem is, does the tomato scratches at level 6, with deeper grooves at level 7?
@@khtannnnnnnnnn would be hard to eat
@@N1ko0L I didn't realised that lol
Tip 1: peas grow with partial sunlight with a trellis on the side of the barn or house. Tip 2: The peppers grow best with fish emulsion when you plant the seeds. Tip 3: grow Marygolds between plants. They are a natural bug repellent and they attract bees. Question: Do you have a compost pile? Are you saving all of your old plants for compost? Tip 4: Turn your soil over in February with compost.
Regarding the brussel sprouts: you might have given up too early. Usually, they are harvested after the first frost. Judging by the footage it is just to early/warm for them to form the small heads.
True it's like that here in the uk you harvest the late november early December
I felt so bad when I saw how well they were doing and....then he pulled them out. 😔
We give them a year normally, he def took them out too early :(
Late answer but yes indeed, here in the Netherlands we harvest them always only after they got their first night of frost.
Tip: Brussels sprouts always form during fall/winter. So next year: just wait a little.
Yep. Basically harvest just before the first frost. Or just after if you want to kill the bugs on them.
Thats sad they got rid of them so close to forming
Yeah, seems like a little research could have saved them so much trouble.
Though they wouldn't of grown all that well, they were planted way to close, about 1/3 of the brussel sprouts in that same area would of been perfect.
you could also snap of the shoot / tip around september/october to speed up the growth and have a bigger yield
When you are removing excess flowers from the pumpkins plant, those are a treat you can fry them and are delicious. Fiori di zucca . Cheers love your not-teardown video keep it up!
A garden has to be one of the single most wholesome and fulfilling things you can create.
Get a drip (soaker) hose to lay in the plant beds and run along near the plants so that you can water at the base and roots without having to "burn" the plants by spraying water on them and leaving water drops on the leaves to act like magnifying glasses to amplify the sun, helps to stop getting fungus growth on the leaves as well. Vine varieties of Pumpkins need 50 - 100 square feet per hill (mound that the seeds are planted in). Pumkins need 4 feet between hills and 8 feet between rows, you can get up to 6 pumpkins off one plant and up to 12 from miniature varieties (plant those 2 feet apart). With your vine Pumpkins you can just plant them at one end and just control the direction the vines go as they get longer and make them go the length of the plant beds. Nice looking raised bed system you built! Also, buy ladybugs and praying mantis to put in the plant beds and control pest infestations, and certain flowering plants near the garden will attract and support insects that eat bad bugs in the garden!
In italy we are eating the flower of the pumpkins..fried are so tasty
In india too...delicious 😋
@@navneetsingh7641 really? I worke in pune for sometime and i did not know about this..wow
@@nurspass not sure if they eat in pune or not but my Grandmother used to pluck the pumpkin flowers and make Fritters of them....they are delicious 😋
We too. Our origins are from Bangladesh, mum makes a batter then dips the pumpkin flowers in it and shallow fries them.
And also the leaves and some stems are havested and cooked like spinach with diced potatoes, then lightly fried off with garlic 😋
Squash leaves are the best! I personally like them boiled, with some squash in a soup.
Unfortunately the pumpkin couldn't detach "like a Lego" 😂
Like a legooooooo
It came first in my mind when i clicked the video,
The first year I grew a pumpkin plant (one pumpkin plant) was the last year I grew a pumpkin plant. It took over my decking. The pumpkins were so large I couldn’t pick them up. Difficult to get a grip underneath them when they get big. Never again.
It was a great experience, my friends and family were amazed with the attacks of the pumpkins.

From what I've heard, first year jalapenos are mild. Second year jalapenos can be quite hot. and after that they are generally "normal". My dad's aunt used to make salsa from her plants and the second year batch was really good for tests of courage or endurance.
Too bad those weren't jalapeños. Looked more like banana peppers instead, they are milder too
First year. They die off every year. What are you talking about?
Jalapenos are mild when they are over watered.
@@goodphrase1 they die if left in the frost. Most grow them in buckets if they live in colder zones.
@@insanebombgamer Most vegetables can be overwintered, but 99% of the plants will die at the end of the year because farmers and home gardeners don't both to overwinter. Peppers only survive winter outside in mild climates.
It also was not a Jalapeno. Shape and color was wrong and the flesh was not thick enough. I would guess it was a Anaheim/Hatch Pepper. It was too green to be a Banana Pepper, but it was the right shape.
There are mild or heatless Jalapenos... if you grow any hot pepper, the heat is related to the stress the pepper has, more stress, more heat. While the plant is growing fruit, don't water it at times, you will get hotter peppers.
I grew Jalapenos, Bells, Pepperoncini, Anaheim, Serrano and Cayenne peppers this year.
My grandma used to pick all those pumpkin flowers and all the topped off runner vines that are still young and make it into pretty good strir fry along with pepper. You should try it so the pumpkin patch is also under control

😂
Don't worry that's an secret mission
Psssht it's his disguise
He is growing ricin to poison his target.
Drip irrigation would do really well there. It only waters the soil instead of the plant. Wet leaves at the wrong time of day can actually harm some plants.The leaves never need water, just the roots. That can be pretty tedious when you have a lot of leaves to avoid. With a drip line, you snake a line around on top of the dirt, use sod staples to secure it down, and hook it to some water. Then you can either turn on a valve whenever you want or run it on a timer.
Looks like agent 47 retired and is now a gardener

First year gardening as well! Going all out on the tomatoes next year!! Honestly it's such a night and day difference from what you can get in a store (everything else is only marginally better). Would highly recommend the mini and heirloom verities. Also herbs!! Much better than the grocery store that cost 5$ for a tiny pack and you can get some cool verities (highly recommend lemon thyme)
There is a technique called the three sisters. Corn, Squash and beans all together. The plants all provide something to each other. The Squash leaves hold moisture in the soil for the corn and the corn gives the beans something to climb on.
The beans bring nitrogen to the soil and make it thrive. All plants need nutrient wise to thrive is the right amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen increases growth increased phosphorus helps your flower stage and potassium makes your plant strong.
I love how wholesome you guys are! Can’t wait for the next season of “Attack of the Pumpkins”

@@WATalisman I'm a bilateral amputee, both of my legs were amputated above the knee and I can swim just fine. you don't need legs to swim.
@@charlottehanna4339 Right, fair enough.
Also with watering you have to do it early, what you saw with the snap peas (scorching) can actually happen with the roots if it's too hot out
1. I've had really good luck with strawberries up here in Logan, especially in a raised beds. Literally the best fruit I've ever had, but it might take a year or two to really get going.
2. Powdered milk when planting helps potatoes grow way bigger (like 3x)
3. Green beans also grow well here, if you make a little fence with two lines of wire running horizontally and yarn running up and down across the wire, the plants will grow up it in a neat spiral. Might work out better than snap peas, and they are super forgiving.
4. Some herbs like basil, mint, rosemary, and parsley can actually grow well in Utah, but basil has a tendency to spread everywhere and cross pollinate with mint.
5. You ought to try to grow some mushrooms, wet hay and woodchips along with the spores can grow a ton here. Could be a good collab with Cody's Lab. He is a very good gardener and could provide some neat insights. I know you guys don't live here in Logan anymore, but he's still close enough to collaborate with 🤷♀️
Just some thoughts!
Hey, any reason for raised beds?
@@samhaokip9126 wheelchair accessible
@@samhaokip9126 A lot of good reasons actually. I've done it for better control over soil contents, density, nutrients, and water drainage/retention mainly. It's far easier to fine tune the growing conditions that way. Strawberries can be super temperamental in this climate, and raised gardens have a longer season than in-ground gardens because they are easier to warm early in the spring when the ground is still frozen. It can make a big difference.
I just started my own garden this year too. I was so excited to see how all of my stuff grew and what I'll change next year. I'm happy I can see your first time gardening too, cause everyone else I watch on TH-cam has been doing it for years, so I can see you guys learning too. awesome garden
Awesome!
The flowers of the pumpkin in Italy we use them to fry them app and they look and taste great next time when you get rid of the try and eat them they are really good
Very nice kids, good job for your first year. Plant your peas really early, they should almost be finished by the time the weather is warm enough to stress the plants. Don't be afraid to hack those darned pumpkins back, never hurt them. Plant your lettuce in succession. Half a row every ten days to two weeks, controls the harvest. Your beds would be ideal for some PVC hoops and some shade cloth. Beets and raddish are pretty easy to grow. Wifey and I always planted nasturtiums. They provide some bug control and the colorful flowers have a peppery flavor on salads. Herbs, I almost forgot. Herbs are easy to grow and if you have some favorites the flavors are some much better fresh from the garden. Good luck.
Oh no the brussels sprouts 😭 they normaly grow when the first frosts happens in the netherlands ! Around end october and into November

I admire your effort on your garden!
I may have many words of advice for you and your garden, but will just share one piece of advice at this stage...
When growing 🥕, be sure to use sifted soil to ensure thst there are no stones. Its the stones and/or pebbles in the soil that cause your carrots to grow around them and leave you harvesting "crooked" carrots.
P.S. Also investigate in "companion" planting. I.e. plant the right stuff next to or in-between the veggies and herbs! Use plants like nasturtiums to lure away the bad bugs !
Happy gardening! 🤗
You need some mulch it will cut down the ammount of watering needed and decompose which will add nutrients to the soil. you could also add the dead plants from last year like all the pumpkin leaves directly on the soil, but you could also grind or chip it and then use it. mulch would also be nice because your garden soil will natrually sink over time so adding a layer to fill that and it would also add nutrients to the soil slowly over time, mulch also harbers benificial bugs and worms and it will add to increase biodiversity. i would also recomend putting up bird feeders in the area because birds can go in and around your garden and eat bugs and other pests that might hinder your plants growth and birds are just nice to have around. a cool idea is that you could biuld a pond or have a company like aquascape build one for you (they have a great youtube channel and would probally love to collab) build a pond for you then you set up a timer and a pump that will peridiocally pump fish fertilized water into your garden (compared to the drip system i think your gonna to put in) beds this would explode your plant growth compared to tap water it would also make for a great video explaining how the pond system works, the pond would also give you opprotumities to grow edible fish or just show fish pond this would also be great for realaxing and pleasure like feeding your fish and would lead to wonderfull expirences with nature. my opinion is is that the more biodiversity you have the more succesful you will be.
I remember visiting my grandpa's farm in childhood and having fun eating those fresh veggies 😋.
Thanks for reminding good old memories. Will definitely have a farm in future!
Also you can try to grow some fruits next year. Veggies you can add are tomato, lemons, spinach, broccoli or cauliflower etc
you should never water anything during the day, best time to water is in the morning before sunrise, or at least 2-3 hrs after sunset, but morning is the best
What a joy to see Cambry, I missed her, she looks beautiful and full of health, I congratulate you on your garden.👍
Before I make some suggestions for your next season of gardening, I just wanted to say you guys are an amazing, very talented, hard working, made-for-each-other couple! My very best wishes to you both! ♥️♥️
Lettuce and most salad mix crops are cool season crops. So, plant them early spring and a second crop in late fall. They bolt (flower) in summer with high temperature, and the leaves turn bitter. You can pull them out in summer but leave a few to bolt and harvest seeds for next season.
Trellises for the pumpkins won't work due to the weight. Let them grow on the ground.
Hope this helps!

Amazing first year results! Next season I am adding an arch between two raised beds to allow melon vines to grow vertically, giving me more bed space for other crops :) the sort I plan to plant is called Emir, it so delicious! There are people that grow small watermelon sorts on arches (depends on the size of the melon and strength of the arch) I think the sort often used is called sugar baby? There are tutorials of how to build cattle panel arches all over TH-cam, maybe this might be something for part of your garden? I also have started gardening in containers, mainly because we have limited space and sun so I can move these about if needed...carrots, beets and tomatoes...potatoes in sacks (add dirt as they grow). Good luck and thanks for sharing your gardening experience, hope your horse enjoyed the carrots...I love sharing mine with my little beagle.
Tomatoes for sure. I recommend cherry tomatoes on a “cattle panel” arch trellis. Mine is 8 feet tall, but yours could be easily shortened (with bolt cutters”) so Cambry could reach the ones at the top. The varieties to consider are “sweet 100s” “sun sugar” “sun gold” and “sweet millions”. You also could use full size cattle panel to control the sprawl of the pumpkins.
We started our brussel sprout plants from seed in April and the year was cooler than normal. They took until the following very early spring to produce sprouts. When they did it was a massive amount and awesome.
Interplanting herbs like Oregano, Basil or pots of Mint - that really keeps the bugs and critters out of the garden. Loved discovering all of this with you!
Finally i saw a tech guy close to earth !!🌱🌱🌴🌳🌲🌾🥔🍅,🎃🎃
I'm so curious as for 2 things
1: Why did you let the pumpkins go rouge to the expense of poor little tree :c
2: what are you gonna do with so many pumpkins?
They’ll probably give them to food shelters as that seems like something he would do
Pumpkin giveaways🤔🤔🤔
@@harrisonkelly food shelters, their own food and the probably carved some up for Halloween
Dario Delvoije yeah seems likely
I was thinking the same
I thought I saw it mentioned, but you needed to give the Brussel sprouts more time. They like the cold weather!
Some plants will not put any energy into growing when its too hot (tomatoes won't put out new flowers/fruit for example) so just do a little research on timing. The easiest way is to look up your garden zone, and your areas average last frost/first frost dates, and you can plan around those.
If you mound more dirt on your potatoes they would have done a little better. They like to be buried as they grow. I would have also given your carrots more time in the ground as well- they looked so healthy and you guys could have gotten some huge carrots!
Just some advice for your 2021 garden: make a plan for what you want to grow and what you want to get out of your garden. Because you have limited space, you can look into companion planting. That way you'll be able to get 2 plants out of the same space, and they'll be beneficial to each other. I keep a notebook of what seeds I buy and where, when I plant them, the days I harvest and how much, so that the next year I can look at what worked well, what I needed more of, and what we had too much of.
I'm glad that the gardening bug has bitten you guys! It's so fun and rewarding, and you did a fantastic job on your first garden! My fiance and I love the content you post, and it just shines through how much Zack loves Cambry. You guys are amazing 😊

Next year try adding self-watering system to the garden. Pool liner in all planters then 4-6” weepingtile at bottom of planters.
AMAZING results! (my experience from Canada)
Gardening tip: Carrots love sandy, well aerated soil. 😉 Keeping the soil loosely packed will help you get longer carrots. 😁✌️
"Bigger is better" and then transitions to a massive zucchini. Nice
Nice
Nice
Pumpkins are bullying the whole garden af😂😭🤣
I feel your pain with both pumpkins and butternut squash. They’ve taken over my yard/garden area. One technique for potatoes is to start a plant inside of an old tire, then as the plant grows, add another tire and soil. Keep doing this for four or five layers, and at the end of the season, you should have a greater yield than an individual. Peas and beans love trellises as do butternut squash.
Love your work on the electric hummwv!
Crazy to think Pumpkins are virtually extinct in the wild with how aggressive they grow.
Squash bugs are everywhere in the states and can take down pretty much any squash plant in no time. And when they eventually show up they are near impossible to deal with.
pumpkins as you know them NEVER existed in the wild. they are man made through selective breeding. aka eugenics for you soft types.

Zack always looks so proud to hear Cambry say, “Let’s get started.”

Hahaha 🤣🤣 best 👌
Great video thank you! Brussel sprouts need their bottom branches snapped off mid season in order for the sprouts to grow on the stalks!
I dont know why this gets dislikesJerry such a positive person entertaining and an inspiration to others much respects
Because on twitter he talks about politics
His name is not Jerry, and clearly you have no idea how the TH-cam community works
Because of the way he cut that watermelon /s
(No seriously, do you Americans actually cut watermelons like that??) 14:53

It's from people that don't like pumpkins.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO. This has got to be my favorite video on your channel. I always love the both of you guys doing non-smartphone things. Love love love this video.
I think the best way to utilise (slightly) unripe watermelons is to juice them or turn them into a smoothie/beverage.
With neem oil be sure to spray in the evening so they don't get sunburned! Do a test leaf first to be sure you don't spray the whole plant and lose it if it reacts badly. Beautiful garden. I watched both because I was wistfully wishing I could have a wheelchair garden! It's lovely.
I see we have similar gardening style: the "hmm... I should probably prune that for the sake of every other plant in the garden, but it's growing so well! Let's see how this plays out" method. 🥬🥒🌽🌶️
I see your like my neighbor his entire back yard was pumpkin and half of mine, and 2 others were also pumpkin.
(They bought 10 packs of seeds because they went with the idea that if you plant 100 one of them will survive and will make good sized ones)
I love when your wife says: “Let’s get start it” is soooo satisfying
Does your Veggie scratch at level 6, it need a durability test.

U love his wife
Love the new content! Becoming self-sufficient is the best way to live.
Hi, I just got on your site. Ssso it's cool for you guys to learn what's what. 1 brussel sprouts grow through the winter and are picked in Feb. Or March. 2 Asparagus takes around 3 year's before you can pick enough and have a patch. 3 Artachoke's take a year to grow, you need 2 ( Male and female) to bear fruit. 4. If you did an wire hoop over the wall way your Vegas well grow through it so you could pick under them. Just my thoughts great job for your first time.
Damn, never knew pumpkins were this savage. They just tear through anything and everything, no mercy. I'm kind of impressed actually.
