Your garden and mine too! Only my snap peas are doing anything, and they are usually six feet tall...this year...three at this point. So much rain! Things are looking better in both gardens though. I'm really glad to see your fork trick. I will have my update on the garden out tomorrow. Thanks for sharing how yours is going, it makes me feel better as a first time hay bale grower to see how your bales are doing! And, thanks for all the encouragement this year!
💢It's interesting to see the straw bale gardening method looks great. There's a lot of slugs over here in Ireland we have a lot of rain , happy gardening 😀💢
I love bale gardening. I'm on my 5th year and will likely keep doing it until I can't. Right,..I think the heavy slug pressure is due to all the rain this year. I always have some slugs but they are really bad this year. Thanks for stopping by!!
We used to grow sunflowers every year. Most of the varieties had multiple heads -- some have dozens. It's been much hotter here, but still very wet. The tomatoes are doing the best by far!
Good to know it's not a freak occurance with the sunflowers. I'm always learning something new. Cold and wet to hot and humid. Weren't we supposed to get some weather right in between?? Hmmm,....I think we're getting jipped.
That's the great thing about growing things -- there is always something new and interesting to learn! -- and yes, we were robbed by the weatherman again!
Your garden is looking really good! I appreciate your enthusiasm, that’s just how I feel about gardening too (always have). The cool wet weather has left us and we have been in hot muggy conditions lately. Your garlic looks really healthy and happy! Klaus
Haha,....cold and wet or hot and humid. Too bad we couldn't share some weather right in the middle. I guess that's how it goes. Keeps things interesting! LOL
You are just across the lake from me! I did tomatoes in buckets this year also. It has been cool and rainy here also. Your peppers are looking great! Mine got a late start. I am going to seed them differently next spring.
Oh, that's awesome! Yeah, the tomato buckets work really well as long as you keep a close eye on them. No worries about the peppers. Once it gets hot they will catch up and start pumping out peppers like mad. I do start mine very early in the spring. Usually 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost. Thanks for watching!!
Looking great! Isn't all of Wisconsin a beer trap?? LOL! All of your peppers look great. We can't wait for ours to fruit out so we can make some pickled peppers.
I love the trick with the forks! If rabbits become an issue ever I'll have to remember this. Great peppers. How many tomato plants do you have this year?
I have 30 plants this year. 15 different varieties. I'm still looking for the "perfect" tomato. Yeah, I'm really impressed with the peppers given the weather. The fork trick has blown me away. Who would have thought? LOL
We have a guy around here who grows his whole garden in buckets, it’s definitely a good idea! Damn slugs! I battled them this year in NY as well, it’s been super wet also. I’ve never heard to kale/Brussel sprouts combo! I’ve never had a ground cherry, I had no idea that’s what they taste like!!!!!
Oh, you must give the ground cherries a try. You won't regret it. My kids LOVE them and I do too. Growing in buckets is a great way to go. You can reuse the buckets for years and you can move them wherever,...whenever. Thanks for stopping by!!
Sorry to hear about your okra. I normally do extra seedlings as well just in case. Our peas started out great then all of a sudden turned yellow like yours. So I think we are going to pull those out and just grow pole beans. It is normal for sunflowers to have multiple flowers on them. Nice tour of your garden. Everything looks like it is producing great!
I think the quick heat up got the peas. Hopefully we can get a fall crop. Pole beans are a sure fire winner! Good to know about the sunflowers. Learns something new every day. Thanks!
Oppe - I'll have to try that folk trick. I wonder if it works on groundhogs??! I have a resident groundhog under my air conditioner next to my foundation. It ate all my lettuce, peas, and carrot tops. I use the beer trick for slugs with good success but also use DE. I envy your peas as I have none. Darned rodent! I tried growing ground cherries 1 year but then accidentally pulled the plants when they were a few inch tall thinking they were weeds. Have yet to try them. Thanks for sharing.
My groundhogs don't care about nothing, I stop them underground they go over. I trap them, either kill or relocate far away only thing for me that really works
@@Citystead I just came in from weeding. I found 4 half eaten green tomatoes under my plants and outside his/her burrow. That critter is ticking me off! \ I'm trying catch him in the act...weighs about 20 lbs it seems. It is so HOT outside today - 92% humidity!
Hey, better than no potatoes. Yeah, give it a go again next season and add some sulfur to bring the PH down a bit. That may be the difference between an "OK" harvest and an excellent harvest.
They work very well. If that doesn't do the trick you can also find a slug bait product called Sluggo that works very well. Good luck and have a great weekend!
@@BrewCityGardener Thanks, up to this point I have been putting salt on the outside of the raised bed and that slows them down a few days and then I hand pick and feed to the turtle =] Have a great weekend also, stay cool!
lovely Garden tour bro please watch my video upload this week and tell me the what kind of flowers is that you may know about that please send me in comment
I grilled garlics scapes for the first time this year. Quite yummy. Your garden is looking good. The weather has been a struggle this year.
Oh, the scapes are amazing!

It's my pleasure. Thanks for stopping by.
Looking forward to your update. 🙂
Garden looks great despite the little pest pressure. Your Way ahead of me over here.
I'm surprised how quickly the garden has caught up. This strange weather years really threw me for a loop. It's amazing how quickly plants adapt.

Everything is looking wonderful.
Everything is finally starting to get caught up. It's a big sigh of relief!
Just found you on two family! Great video! I'm obsessed with everyone else's gardens right now. Lol
Haha,...awesome!
I know what you mean. Garden season is in full swing and I love it!!

Give them a try. I have only found one solution for ground hogs that works..........
Audrey II!!😆👍
FEEEDD MEEE!!!
I pulled my potatoes up yesterday that were died back and found that they were small, but there were quite a few per hill. I don't have proper PH
Hey, better than no potatoes. Yeah, give it a go again next season and add some sulfur to bring the PH down a bit. That may be the difference between an "OK" harvest and an excellent harvest.
@@BrewCityGardener Will do, thanks for the advice.
I have severe slug pressure so the beer trap going out tonight.
They work very well. If that doesn't do the trick you can also find a slug bait product called Sluggo that works very well. Good luck and have a great weekend!
