I'm try to buy but the app not accepted the direction. I don't know why.
I'm almost out of soap, I might need to order some more.
I'm in love with the cashmere soap! The others are nice too. Thanks.
I've still got 6 bars of soap but will be ordering more as soon as I finish a bit more of this. Sam, have you gotten any new wood projects for sale?
I used to use old pantyhose to hold the squash and zucchini on the trellis when they started getting larger. If pantyhose is no longer available (and it probably isn't - it's been a while since I've been able to garden), then maybe old t-shirts would do. Whatever is strong and stretchy.
What a nice looking garden.
Thanks!
Of course, you can trellis your zucchini! You ARE the BOSS of YOUR zucchini. Thanks for showing us how to do it. 😎
We took an old swing set, added cattle panels and grew our cucumbers on that. Also long green beans. It worked wonderful.
Thanks for the great idea on the squash. I've been using 1/2" conduit to stake my tomatoes for about 15 years now. No more cages for me. And yes, the jute twine because it breaks down very well. Yall have a Blessed day.
lol. we used the town metal reflectors and posts ( put up by town over winter to keep town snow plow off our lawn as we live on a rural corner) to stake our tomatoes this year!!! any port in a storm! shhhhh....
I put my cucumbers on a cattle panel and it works great,great video.I guess you know you have a million dollar view just Heaven so beautiful.
I loved watching you guys just good old country Folk
Beautiful vistas in this video.. nothing like those green hills...
Angela, tell Sam to stop stealing your thunder.. Your a great presenter on your own.. 😉😉
i dont see a prob with this, but another channel i watch they were putting watermelon on string trellis. i see that failing tremendously
I've wondered my self, so time will tell. In Texas, the mellons can be 30-50 bls and I seen 100+ lbs in Ok. And those would never make it on a string!
@@cherylsmith-bell6509 yea, we are in sw missouri and have had melons that are 50lbs plus. biggest i have ever grown was about 70 lbs but most average 25 to 35 lbs
And also you will see those snakes
I started yellow zucchini late because I missed planting them at normal times, they didn't come up so I planted more. Well, the first planting came up and so did the second one. I have 6 squash in a 4x4 area with a roma tomato in there too. LOL! Well, looks like this might work for me in a 27" raised bed! We shall see because I ain't ripping out perfectly good plants putting on blooms in August! 😊👍💕 My first garden after 30+ years without veggies! It feels good to grow food again. I must say that my Okra and cukes are also jamming. I actually might get some food to eat this year!
Aww, good luck!!! We hope you get tons!
Conduit and twine......necessity is the mother of invention. Good job!!!!👍👊😍
It's lookin' good around there! Sometime please share how you keep squash bugs from destroying your plants, thanks.
Yes, that's why I quit growing squash, those pests are hard to control, even with dawn soap and water!
You two are so cute - how did you meet ?
Originally? Middle school 😊
Very Sweet
I found some 50” wooden stakes at Lowe’s in the concrete aisle. Six for less than $9.
A little trick i learned is when you tie string to pole .Put extra wrap around string before u tighten the knot.It will hold tight till u tie second knot.Hope this works for you.God Bless.
Good for you both. My squash plants after almost a month are showing squash that my father in-law(former custom farmer) says will be ready in about a week. I have the cattle fence installed and added the red pins to help "guide them" up. I haven't had a garden for 33 years.
I'm loving how lush and productive your garden looks. I'm hanging out for Spring here in Australia!
Thank you! Yes, Spring will be just around the corner for you all! Hope you’ve weathered the Winter alright? Many are very nervous looking to Winter here in the US with the health concerns.
Our State isn't experiencing the same concerns as the Eastern States but it will be a relief when the warmer weather arrives. I've sorted my seeds ready for planting because all the gardens in the homesteading community have inspired me.
Great info, thanks for sharing! Very helpful!
I used to tie my vegetables up with old pantyhose. They are much softer on the plant. I guess no one wears pantyhose anymore. When I was working I always had plenty but since retiring I don’t think I have worn them myself. My stash of old ones has been completely depleted.
I thought Zucchini was a squash. Your idea might work also with cucumbers. I have used hog wire between poles and tied the vies to the wire. Has worked great for years. I have a bad back and bending is not an option for me.
Great tips and tricks! The garden looks very healthy and happy. How are the strawberries doing?
You two are adorkable. I've heard here and there people talk about trellising their zukes and squash, but have never really seen it up close like you showed. I might try it for our "winter" garden, since we have an additional growing season. If it makes seeing the things better, I'm all for it, versus finding a baseball bat sized zuke hiding out under a plant.
It’s very helpful! We have a yellow squash plant that’s just about to put grow the 4’ pole!! It’s amazing to see.
@@sam-and-angela I'll give it a shot - after all, what's the point of having a garden if you don't experiment with new stuff from time to time!
Super cool. I tried it with bamboo stick I think it did not work. So use t bar is the trick. Thank you for the tip!!
You look a bit like Melissa McCarthy . Very nice video .
Like climbing tomatoes and cucumbers
A friend of mine had her cucumber climb a section of fence. It was kind of neat, leaves n vegetation on one side n cucumbers hanging on the other.
What do you do with the pruned leaves?
I trellis mine up my fence and use panty hose to support them. I hadn't thought of using old tee shirts so that is a good idea!
Evening from the UK.
We all need Sam and Angela in our lives.
Fun, happy, and all round good videos.
We are about to have to hang up some hubbard squash
Your chickens will love those greens. Your gardens have grown so big!
Wouldn't it get to hot in the sun and burn the plant stalks?🤔
I would cover the hole in the top of the pipe. It will help it last longer.
6 foot rebar paited make great garden poles
Thanks for the gardening tips!
Let us know if the heat from the conduit (being in the sun) has any effects on the plants...........Thumbs Up
I've wondered about how your kids are doing during this CV lockdown. Are you home schooling, and will your school open this fall for them. I think this has actutaly been a blessing to a lot of parents and kids, to have to be together, like never before.Enjoy your videos, you're doing good!
We are homeschoolers. Our co-op has been canceled all of 2020 and for the Fall semester as well. It’s a bummer but understandable. Many schools in our areas are scrambling to get their systems in order. We feel for them and the families affected by it. We count ourselves blessed we were already in a place to educate at home. It is not easy and no doubt very difficult for so many to be thrown into.
I'm going to try this
I am concerned with using galvanized pipes for this purpose. Won’t the pipe react to the acidic soil and cause the zinc to leach into your food? I love your videos and think you two are great. I would hate to see you get sick. Please do some research. Anyone, am I wrong??
Never heard of that being a problem but feel free to show us some research on it.
Well I watched your video and tried to do what you did and broke off half of my summer squash plant. 😭😭😭
Oh nooooo!!!!!!! 🤦♂️😭
Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna give it a try. I didn't get not one zucchini this past season. I did plant a little late but not much. I got all male flowers. When i finally got female flowers i didn't get not one male flower. I was so upset i ripped them all out of the ground. The green worms got all my cantelope and a good part of my cukes. 😪😪 i had a terrible early summer. But i am gonna give it another go this fall. Y'alls plants were gorgeous
So sorry to hear this for you!
I use the 10ft conduit. I drilled holes and screwed hose clamps about every 10 inches. I put one on either side of my tomato plants then slide 5 ft conduit horizontally as supports as they grow.
Nice!!!!!
How long does it take the squash and zucchini to get from seed to flowering size?
About two-three weeks from what we've seen with our varities.
I tee peed my cucumbers and they were doing great until someone, either the neighbor who was tending his attached yard or our landlord's employee sprayed them with poison.
Oh no!!!
Just a tip with cucumbers, if you get a white variety they are much easier to find! I am finding things that the color shows you where they are so I can find them easier.
Interesting!!
Also ... how’s the sweet corn lookin ?
It’s getting there.. waiting for tassels to brown and the cons to grow out. They’re all over 7’ tall I think. Most have two ears per stalk too!
Great idea, I am going to stake my zucchini,thanks.
We’ve been happy with the outcome!
What do yall do with the leaves yall cut off? Do u feed them to ur chickens?
They get put in the compost pile. Our chickens won’t eat squash or zucchini leaves.
Thank you.
Fried Zucchini, stewed Zucchini, baked Zucchini, Zucchini relish, Zucchini boats, Zucchini soup, Zucchini & ranch dip, zucchini salad..........
Where do you get that black tarp stuff
We've always bought it from Amazon. It's called Dewitt Sunbelt Ground Cover. We saw a similar product being sold locally at the hardware store, but didn't want to risk using another brand we weren't familiar with. We've used this fabric for about 4 years off and on and never had issues. Here's the link to it on Amazon: amzn.to/3mMlv76 Thanks!
FRUIT!
Thanks!
❤❤
Conduit for beefin stakes....now why didn't I think of that. Brilliant!
You have a very healthy garden ...nice job guys ...good video ..lookin foreword to the one . Thanks again.
We tried this in our raised beds and it didn’t work so well. The problem we ran into was the plant out grew us tying them up. We had a ton of breaks! Didn’t help that we had some crazy storms during the early part of them growing.
Seen but not heard ?? 😳. Poor Sam 🤣. ( you go girl 👧!!). Y’all have the MOST. Beautiful Garden ❤️👍
Angela, that’s gonna be a bountiful vegetable soup! You’ve got the makings. Some nice hot corn bread or biscuits smothered in butter and some good ol home made jam! Wow! What a supper or lunch whichever you prefer!💕
Thank you! Lots of great information. I will definitely have to try this. You all are so cute!! Have a great weekend!
💖💖🐱👤
🙋🌻🙏

Thanks for the good info. I have never had great success with squash and zucchini. I may try this with mine.
Awesome to know! I have been doing the same on my tomatoes and boy does it make a difference. I have tons of tomatoes on my plants but just about apricot size and we are not having much heat this summer so I don't know if I will even get a crop in large enough to ripen this year. A lot of work but heat and sun only started being warm enough about two weeks ago. We shall see. What a year! Your garden looks wonderful. Soooo excited for you!
Have a great weekend.
Blessings
What a year indeed!! We’re battling blossom rot on our tomatoes now. We’ve had the heat but they’re just sitting there green.
@@sam-and-angela Perhaps it will end up being "fried green tomatoes"..........if all my blooms turn into tomatoes as of now I would yield 75 off that plant but thinking not .........especially with little to no heat unless we get an indian summer.
Angela you are correct anything with seeds i/e tomatoes and cucumber are fruit!
Thanks for the tip. I'm going out in a few minutes and cut the bottom leaves off.
I’m doing that tomorrow . Thanks for such a clear demonstration.
You can use cattle panels to trellis your plants as well, making an arch. It makes it easier for harvesting as well.
Everything is looking just great ! God bless you all.
Do cows, goats, chickens eat the leaves that you just cut off the zuccini?
Not to our knowledge. We compost them.
@@sam-and-angela When I moved to GA, our neighbor told me that his cows LOVE Kudzu. The Kudzu can grow 12in. per day so they could clean along the hwy. If only.
Just thought the suckers you are cutting off you could feed the goats or cows.
grow your cucumbers on cattle panels, works great for them
I love the outtakes I’m roflmbo. I miss my vege garden sigh maybe next year.
I have used twine, shoelaces whatever I had to tie plants. Improvise
Your garden is really pretty! Good job!
Where are the sheep?
Probably in the shady areas. It’s hot!!
That is a neat idea love it, ohh yeah they ran out of a lot of gardening supplies everyone wants a garden ,
Thanks for the great tip. I will try it.
Good tip about trimmimg for mildew!
What a great idea, thanks for sharing
Always going to end up smiling after your videos....love you guys. You are the children of my hearT ❤
Aww thank you! We are so happy to make others day better!
You have a beautiful garden!
Wow interesting. Who knew?
It's tough finding quart canning jars also. You never know now what may come up in short supply.
You’re right! We heard rural king had them and shipped but haven’t verified it. Thankfully our local stores have them now.
As you were talking in your garden at the end of the video, I became distracted by the most beautiful view of the hills in front of your home. So lovely.
Thank you! We are very blessed to have that to look at! It’s a farm and hopefully it stays that way! 😁
the bloopers are the best! haha
Garden looks great!
Can you give the leaves to your sheep I was just wondering🤔
They don’t seem to like them. Picky sheep. LOL
I have my butternut squash trellised horizontally on my fence. So far, so good!
Mine trellised itself on my green bean trellis and my fence!!
City-Wide Gardens Zone 6b NJ they’ll grab on anything standing still!!
OUTSTANDING! 👍👍👍💗💗💗
I love it when you guys play act ...so funny .lol
The aluminium pipes are a great idea , theyre light as well as strong . I wondered at first if you could use broom shanks?
How do you store the zucchini that you harvest ?
Do you compost your leaves and such ?
If i do worktime i get showtime .....as Sam said that .....i could see Angela repeating it in her mind to see if she understood it .....lol...I could see the cogs moving ....I had to listen carefully to what he sad too. and then she said .....ok.
We mostly freeze leftover zucchini.
@@sam-and-angela Thank you . you must have a large chest freezer .lol
We trellised our pumpkins and cucumbers on 7' fence posts and garden fencing and cattle panels. We did have to support the pumpkins with onion & potato mesh bags because the vines grew so fast this year once the rains started, though. {East Central Indiana]
Thanks! Love from Vancouver!
Wow, you live in a beautiful countryside. This was informative & fun.Keep on keeping on
