Tomatoes and peppers are easy to save the seeds. Many fabulous blessings everyone everywhere.
Angela, you’re one of my favorite gardeners on TH-cam. Thanks for taking the time to teach us your secrets! Your videos are so relaxing and easy to follow. :)
Wow, thank you!
Always love to see a new video from you. Your teaching skills are so "on point".
Thank you!
Thank you!!!! Been gardening for couple years now. Every bit of inspiration helps. Thank you! 😊
You are the one who inspired me to start my first fall garden. I also live in southwest Arizona and am learning all the things that grow here. I’ve built my first raised bed and it’s almost full. Started simple with cucumbers, zucchini, marigolds, radishes, and snapdragons. Am loving basil and them in pots. Started peppers, Anaheim, jalapeños, and Serenos, in my aero garden back in May or June. My Anaheim is now repotted outside and three feet high. I think my favorite so far is the basil family. Thank you for inspiring me. Your videos are wonderful.
Congratulations! Sounds like you are doing well. Keep it up!

Thank you! I am 75 and use a wheelchair or scooter but feel overwhelmed at times like right now you mentioned in you September garden that putting my garlic in the frig is helpful even with soft neck type. another a guy said he did his two ways and got larger garlic with, not putting in the frig. Lol help mine have been in my frig for two weeks. Is it still to early to plant them. In Glendale Az. I actually only got 3 large bulbs from my last crop. However the largest got more sun and were planted at least 3 in deep. My memory (poor) has me re watching all of your videos many times.but when I follow you to the T I do pretty good. Thank you for all you do to help us. You are an Awesome young lady.😃❤️
Thank you! Forever Young Farms (where I get my garlic) says to put it in the fridge, so I do. I usually have pretty good harvests. I hope yours is better this year!
Wow, great, I am doing all of it, started my veggie garden in August 2021, also planted 7 trees, some died, had a good harvest. Saved seeds, started compost. Dug out the tough Kikuya grass and put concrete barriers in to block the grass. Still expanding. Over here in Cape Town, South Africa we have a mediteranean climate and there is very little information on what to do when etc. so I just try anything and it actually works.
Just discovered your videos and I love them. My new favorite Garden “podcast!” I used to live in Southern California, taught in a school garden, and had a wonderful home garden.
Now, we live on the central coast, near the bay, and our summers are foggy. I also have much less space.
But, I still have two compost bins, a worm bin, two rain barrels, four raised beds and several pots…. Just not a lot of sunshine or heat.
Even though you’re climate must be very different from ours, I know your videos will be inspiring and informative. Thank you! 🥰🌻🐝
Clear and comprehensive
Thank you so much for this I actually have a garden already even I'm just 9 years old I started loving plants when I was 6 I planted papaya, squash, hot peppers, cucumbers, bitter gourd, rambutan, Monggo, yard long beans, watermelon, okra, eggplant, orange, lemon, apple, alugbati and more...
Wonderful, keep it up!
One of the best Gardner on you tube....Love You!!!
Angela, I have been gardening in the desert for over 10 years, but I am always learning from you. Thank you!
Wow, thank you.
Love this video. I've tried to grow comfrey in the past but something always happened and it didn't last long! I'll have to try again with a live plant instead of seeds, then I can propagate from there. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much, so happy found your channel.Have a lot of ideas from your video🥰❤️
Oh I have so much to learn😊
Great content!
Great presentation and very good ideas. Thank you May God bless you.
Helpful, practical info. Thanks!!!!
Thank you so much for this vlog. It gives me something to strive doing. I do a lot now, just not all of your strategies. Take care.
Yay my favorite gardner! Especially since I live in phoenix!
Ditto to that!
Girl... (Excuse the language)... But I be having some really good thorough videos! Thanks for reminding me that I need to get some Asparagus! It's a good time for it right now too... If I can find some! My brother in law said it takes about 3 years for it to grow! I will save this video bc it was jam packed! :-) Keep up the great work!
Angela, I am a new subscriber and I must tell you that I am very impressed with your garden knowledge. Your videos are very interesting and most educational. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I look forward to your next posting!
Thank you so much!
Wonderful tips, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video Love you from pakistan
Thank you for sharing your valuable experience
Your videos are always right on! Love it
I was lucky enough to watch one of your videos on how to plant Cantaloupe, post that you are the first source I check for anything related to gardening! I love your information because after I search a lot on a certain topic, I find the information which you presented is the best. Thanks a million for your efforts and your knowdgle sharing :)
I wish if you we were neighbors so I can eat some of the vegetables and the fruits which you plant ;)
You are always so helpful - thank you
Very Good video. I am new to gardening and trying to learn what I can... I am starting with container gardening because the soil where I live is Georgia is highly acidic, hard and on a slope... I do have plenty of space (almost an acre) and an abundance of wildlife that I want to attract like butterflys and hummingbirds.
Best of luck!
Fantastic info. Thanks for sharing. Happy growing!!
You are Amazing! I was wondering if you have a video on how to be proficient in growing from seeds? I am retired and always want to eat from my own crop, and I have been for a long time have less trips to super markets.
Thanks for the video! All of your tips were spot on!!!! It was a great testament to how well I have been doing since I started gardening. These are all of the things that I have been implementing in my garden for the past 2 years ( Im still pretty new), I was never interested in the buying of soil, fertilizer, even pots lol 😂. I have gotten tons of stuff from Craigslist for free and I get lots of stuff like wood chips and leafs from my city for free. Im learning so much every day and I will do all that I can to make sure that my family becomes self sufficient in the very near future.
This is so inspiring. Thank u for sharing
Hi Angela, what a great video! We are using many of your suggestions in our new garden Two of the best so far are rain water harvesting and using ollas, just amazing! Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, very inspiring! Thanks for sharing good work! I wish you a wonderful day!👍
Thank you! You too!
You are so right.i have been saving seeds for the last 2 years.
Thank you
You are awesome. I really enjoy listening to you. I am new to gardening here in PV and try hard to follow your lead. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you! Will do!
Awesome video! Just found your channel and I really appreciate all the wonderful square foot gardening content you have!
I love your videos Angela they've been very helpful for growing in the Phoenix area!
GREAT LIST. THANX!
Love your videos, one of my favorite and relatable youtube channels!! Thank You!!!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you so much.
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you ❤️
Thankyou Angela your video’s always offer inspiration that’s actually achievable & enjoyable at the same time.
Thank you so much!
Thank you 😍😍😍😍
I would love to see a full video on each topic mentioned 😊
Om the topic of saving garlic, potatoes etc. to plant again : Something that came up in a vlog interview/film at Paul Guatchi's (sp?) garden was that it actually makes a difference, in Paul's experience, to save and plant from the best specimens ( and Ideally, from the healthiest plants too). Something easy to do is to just use all of little, odd shaped potatoes which are left, that you didn't want to eat that winter, and plant them ( often the little ones are more of a pain to clean up or something, for me ). Apparently that's not great ! I hadn't thought it would make a difference when growing from a tuber or root verses a seed. Also on the topic of saving seeds, it's handy to allow whatever usually does, to re-seed itself in the garden. Probably best in a no-till garden like mine is, and on thinner mulch, so it can root down. Dill and lettuces are two of the one's I have experience doing this with, I'm sure there are more, especially among herbs and flowers. I bought the more comprehensive of the two seed saving books available at PineTree seeds, " Seed to Seed" as part of my mild prepping, too. I have had to move and will again, so am always starting a new garden and am limited here, so, didn't do this yet but my hope is to continue to raise both hull less seeded pumpkins AND zucchini, which cross-pollinate, far enough away from each other so I can save seeds from both, and have seeds to sell from the pumpkins - or at least not have to buy, they're expensive & a packet is like 8 to 10 seeds at most usually !
Thank you for the tips
Thanks 👍🏼
Love this video..
👏 Great advice
Glad it was helpful!
thank you for what you are doing God Bless
I appreciate that
Very informative video on gardening and self sufficient. Thank you for your effort.
So nice of you
Amazing information.
Wow! I'm about to start a vineyard and I didn't understand why in the video I watched, they planted lawn first before planting the vines...This video made me understand and it is great for people who are beginners and want to grow as their own gardeners. I already feel self sufficient, thank you so much. Valuable content.
Thank you for tips my friend
No problem 👍
We all now know we need this
I'm in rural nsw, Australia, which is a temperate climate. I can't quite figure out if yours is similar or not. Still great advice and love this channel 💖
Hello, This area of Arizona is semi-arid with dry winters and hot summers. You would still experience hot summers so Angela's info is still relevant to you, but it probably gets colder at your place with winter dominant rainfall so you might not be able to over winter some plants like chilli or tomato. I'm in North Queensland with warm dry winters so this channel is a good model for my climate.
Florida is a more temperate climate similar to Australia.
excellent
Nice tips 👍
You are amazing
I am seed mad,,,As you say,I try every seed,not successful always, Tamarind seed,to neem, seeds!,motivation more after, your video!
❤️❤️❤️
These things are so easy in Arizona. Here in Tennessee we can't compost due to raccoons and bears . Deer rats and squirrels eat everything I try to grow. Even the sweet potatoes . And many trees don't grow well here . Not enough sun where I live. I wish I lived in Arizona
Each location has its challenges, I'm learning that the more I talk to other gardeners. Thanks for sharing yours.
I enjoyed your video and tips. I live in 8B (Village of Oak Creek at 4000 ft). There are very few gardening tips from gardeners in my zone. Do you have specific recommendations for a 25 x 25 foot area with raised beds?
I live in California's Central Valley where we have over 60 days a year of 100 degree heat with quite a few days over 105 degrees. We also get several nights a year that are below 30 degrees. I would like to grow rhubarb and avocados but fear it is way too hot. What has been your experience with these?
I’m new to gardening and to your channel 👋🏾 hii.. what’s the fam for your plants ?
Gloom
Hello, can you move or transplant perennial edibles, like artichoke? Thank you love your videos!
The best time to transplant is usually when they are dormant. I've successfully transplanted asparagus, but have had less luck transplanting artichokes. Always worth a try though.
Excellent,well made video.
I’m in Phx AZ and this is the second year I try planting pumpkins and the Beatles got to them before I even realized what was going on. What kind of spray do you use for Beatles ?
Tip #1 farm in one of the rare areas that is not drying up due to drought. ( IF there is still a place)
Wow. Thank you
Are there any specific Comfrey varieties that do well in AZ?
Yes, its a very overwhelming video with lots of info. I started composting but its brought rats to my yard. How do i prevent that? Its an open area madecof pallets gor goat and chicken poop and the occasional kitchen scrapes or cracked eggs.
What onions did you say to grow???? Many grand blessings everyone everywhere
I grow short day onions here in Arizona
@@GrowingInTheGarden yes. Ours are long day. But probably doesn't matter if only want to harvest green tops. Blessings everyone everywhere
I am new to your channel can you please tell me where you got your container you are storing your seeds in
Sure, here's a link: amzn.to/3T0UaP7
I want to breed a kind of winter squash that I've only seen as a hybrid. How do I breed a non-hybrid?
I'm not sure.
Good but no pest control measures
07:09 That makes my stomach turn.
The rain?
I have a question about worm composting. Why do you have to have a separate worm compost box in each of your raisedbed garden boxes? Can I just buy worms and put s few hundred in each raised bed with food scraps? It seems like you'd want the worms throughout your garden anyway..also the worm compostbox takes up space so you can't plant as many plants.🤷♀️
You don't have to have a separate bin, you can just bury scraps in your beds instead.
Where is the link to the seed case with clear containers?
These are the containers I use: amzn.to/3Xj80h6
where in arizona are you located?
Mesa
Peranual kale ? What is that ? Have they a name Angela ?
Different varieties, do a quick google search and some should come up for you.
Your voice change abit hope you are ok❤
Thanks - bit of a cough, but I'm feeling better now.
I watch you garden lot and I am going to make some videos to share my Cambodia friend, any suggestions 😊
Angela = angel
My mom says that's how I got my name 😂
