Thanks for your video. I just wanted to say I eat a lot of sandwiches. I love the chard leaves as a difference maker to lettuces. I trim the ridges out to put into stews or soup or anything multi vegetable. Thanks again. 👍 PS Salads
Glad you liked the video. I like Swiss chard on sandwiches too. Have a great day!
Your advice to wear gloves when digging in the soil is spot on. It makes me cringe whenever I see people just dig in the soil with bare hands and I know that many of them do it because they either don’t have gloves handy or perhaps they want to appear hard-core or as someone who is all into nature. Considering the amount of bacteria/pathogens in soil, no reason is good enough for not wearing gloves.
Thank you for your input. I feel it is better to be safe than sorry. Have a great day!
Nice Harvest And Good Tip's Thanks.
Thanks for watching. Stop back again soon.

Years ago I use to grow some winter squash that were over 35 pounds.As the squash produces runners if the vines become damaged covering the damaged area with moist soil will correct the damage.Thank you for another important video.
Great tip!

I have been growing swiss chard for a number of years.I only add a little olive oil to cook it covered less than five minutes.I never add any water when I cook any kind of green.Swiss chard is also healthy and delicious when eaten raw. Thank you for another nice video.

I’ve just prescribed to your channel could you let me know which size pot you are using for the tiny Tim ? Thank you 😊
Welcome! Thank you for stopping by and subscribing to my channel. To answer your question, I planted the Tiny Tim tomato seeds in a 5 gallon smart pot. It is a determinant tomato so it does not have long vines. However, I do give the stalks some support with bamboo stakes. Happy gardening!

Hello! I was scrolling and noticed your lettuce set up. That’s brilliant 👏🏿 I’ve never thought of doing that
Glad you like the set up. It is easy to do. Consider growing your own groceries. Wish you the best!
@@henrib723 I do! 😊 I have a market garden that helps feed my small community and a backyard garden for my family.
What size are those pellets and where can I get them from? Been looking for those big pellets.
Glad you liked the video! The pellets I have are 3/4" thick. They come in regular and and XXL size. They can be purchased in various size packages at different big box stores.Type in "Jiffy pellets" in a Google search and they will show up. Have a great day!
Your plants are very beautiful! Where did you get your 5" orange pots and tray? I said the exact same thing about growing my own lettuce. I've only started tomatoes, peppers and lettuce for now.
Glad you like them. I got the pots and trays from Bootstrap Farmer.
Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!

You make it look so clean. I make the biggest messes. Kudos to you. How is the quail doing singing in the background. You have a co host 😂
Glad you like the video. Yes, my rooster quails like to be heard on camera. They are real characters!
I really appreciate this video. I purchased the All American 1930 in November I haven’t used it yet just reading and educating myself first. I’m so excited never canned anything before but growing up I watched my mother can and garden. 😊
I am glad you found the video useful. Canning for the first time is very exiting. Decide what you want to can first and go for it. You've got this!
How exciting! Congratulations!
Thank you!!

Hello to anyone in the Big Mitten! I live in Zone 5b in Illinois. Not sure of the new zone.
Hello! To check your hardiness zone do a Google search. Type in USDA Hardiness Zone Map and hit return. It should take you to a page that is the 2023 USDA Hardiness Zone Map. In that search bar type in your zip code and hit return. You should get s drop down that displays your current hardiness zone and temperatures. Not everyone's zone changed but many did. It s good to check to see if yours changed. Best wishes!
My zone is still 8b for now.
Thanks for the information. Will head over to your website and check out your products. I’m in zone 8, SC.
Awesome! Thank you!
It's amazing how big they are I wonder how much they weight.
I don't really know. I will try to weigh them in a few weeks.
The squirrel game is funny i have that issue on my garden too
Hi. I’m in zone 8 SC. Just planted my last bit of garlic. Thanks for the tip on covering the raised beds
Glad to help!
I recently ordered 30 Michigan Tree Collard Seeds from Project Tree Collard on Etsy. The seeds I bought are from Tree Collard plants grown in Michigan that have been outside for the last 5 years in USDA zones 5-6, and have survived temperatures to 0 F. I live in zone 5 at 8,000ft elevation and I am excited to see how these seeds grow in my area.
Great! I hope you get a high germination rate of the seeds and a bountiful harvest for many years to come.
Thank you sister! HalleluYah!
Amazing how much they’ve grown in 2 weeks!
Yes!
When is it the right time to harvest?
Good question! You want to harvest your potatoes after the stalks the stalks have died back and turned mostly brown.
Beautiful keep up the good work I’m trying to do the same thing
Thank you for subscribing. Glad you liked the video. I wish you much success with your harvest!
