    If you plan on growing blackberries, I strongly recommend planting a thornless variety. Black berries are extremely invasive, and the plants with thorns are absolutely treacherous. However, the ones with thorns do make a great barrier to keep people out of an area.

      We had a cultivated blackberry along our hedge. Lovely big sweet but tangy fruits. We bottled them for winter in a light syrup. I used to strain the fruit and make blackberry crumble for dinner (we had dinner at dinner time about 1pm) and add gelatin to the juice to make a jelly (jello?) For tea.

      I don’t know about other geographic regions, but when I lived in north Georgia wild blackberries were plentiful. But I only went blackberry picking twice. Tiny red bugs you can barely see that we called chiggers live around the bushes, and they burrow into your skin without your knowing it. The next day you’ll be itching like crazy. There must be ways to protect yourself, but I just went back to buying my blackberries at the grocery store.

      If you look for greenbriar tips, you can munch like he is doing on a good, crispy tasty veggie for free. In the SETX big thicket environment sometimes I can find them that really are like small asparagus. The inside a thistle plant stalk is better than celery. My livestock likes them a lot. Chokecherry makes good berries but you have to process the juice to drink it. Poke is another great weed, that you have to get an oldtimer to show you how to use safely, but poke n egg is worth the trouble. I am not great at gardening so I forage what I have, and in nearby wild areas.

    I love rosemary. I am propagating one right now. I took a few cuttings from our big one. I am going to put it in the ground. When it gets large enough, some of the stems get woody, i cut them at about 12 inches. Drop them in a bucket of water for about a half hour. Get your wood fired grill going. Thread you meat and veggies on the rosemary skewers and plzce on the grill. Much better than bamboo or metal skewers. The other benefit to rosemary in the ground, your dogs and cats will rub against it as they walk by. It is a natural flea repellant, and your pet smells great.

    My grandmother, in Michigan, had every possible color of raspberries. And the blackberries grew wild behind the garage, while the blueberries were out behind the barn. Much better than the commercially grown ones, even though they were smaller. The patches just kept getting bigger every year.

      Yes, very important. That must be a huge change for you in terms of gardening. I moved quite a distance from where I grew up but still somehow in same climate zone - yet I noticed significant differences; so I can only imagine that moving way out of your accustomed zone to be đŸ€Ż (not necessarily in a bad way).
      Not that I haven't considered it - was in love with the idea of growing all those bulbs and stone fruits - until I spent a week in Spring in that zone; and I thought I had bad allergies before then - my nose and throat were bleeding a couple of days in. Guess I'm better where I am.
      Hope it's going well for you though

    When my dad was alive, he thought very highly of asparagus. Years ago I planted over 20 roots in dappled shade (4-5 hours daily sunlight) and they all died after the first year however the pokeweed in the same area is thriving and spreading. It tastes as delicious as asparagus that I look forward to every spring.

    I planted asparagus from seed last year and they're slowly coming up and I am SO. EXCITED. I know it will be a while before I can actually eat any, but it's so fun just to see the little spears popping up from the ground. I go out almost every day to look at them, like if I stare long enough maybe I'll be able to actually see them grow. 😂
    I also invested in blueberries and blackberries this year. The strawberries are already waking up from last year and they hang out with my asparagus! ♄

    My house when I was a kid had a relatively normal backyard and then one day we put a SINGLE sprig of mint in a flower bed. before we knew it the mint killed all of the ornamental plants in the flower beds by outcompeting them, even spreading into the lawn. I had never seen anything like that. but then a bunch of blackberries from the next property over came from under the fence and eventually choked out the mint. I didn't think anything could beat mint but apparently the only thing that can is a gigantic overgrown bramble

    James, I stumbled upon your channel while doing some gardening research. You have been such a wealth of knowledge in gardening tips. Wow! So impressed with everything you have taught me. Especially the tips on how to grow blueberries. I had one planted in a pot last year. It was so puney that it finally died. I was so sad. But, lessons learned and I am going to plant several this year along with some other berry varieties. When I'm not playing in my garden I'm gonna be binge watching your videos till my head explodes with green knowledge. Thank you for being so generous with all your helpful hints. Oh, and give little Tuck a kiss on the nose for me along with a tasty treat. He definitely deserves it because he works so hard at being the perfect little garden fairy mascot. Nice meeting you two. Now I am off to play in the dirt here in Mississippi.

    Hi James. I'm in Sylacauga, AL zone 7B. This year, I added a Lapins cherry, Stella cherry, North Star cherry, Yellow/gold plum, AU Rosa Plum, a lemon tree, Honeycrisp apple, and Fuji apple tree to my garden. I am experimenting with growing Wine Cap mushrooms in a straw pile in the shade of a Maple tree, I have radishes, kohlrabi, Arrow Peas, Oregon Giant snow peas, assorted lettuces, Imperator carrots, mustard, potatoes, chard, Red Beard bunching onions, garlic, Elephant Garlic, White Creole bulbing onions, Seascape Strawberries, Thyme, Oregano, mint, and Spearmint growing. I have seedlings coming up for catnip, yarrow, chicory, peppermint, and parsley. This morning, I transplanted the first of my warm weather crops into my raised beds and GreenStalk Towers, peppers and tomatoes. Tomorrow I'll finish with the transplants, zucchini, crookneck squash, lemon squash, basil, ground cherries, cucumbers, Hearts of Gold cantaloupe, and Sugar Baby watermelon. I'll also sow seeds for pole beans, dill, cilantro, marjoram, more carrots, and parsnips. I have a pretty big garden with 14 raised beds, a small orchard, an in ground herb garden, 3 GreenStalk towers, 18 ten gallon growbags, and a few assorted pots (for mint and a lemon tree). I enjoy watching you and Tuck tend your garden, and reap the rewards.

      @@jodibraun6383 I harvest the dark green leaves early, before the flower stocks appear. I tie the leafy stems into small bouquets and hang them upside down in the kitchen to let them dry. I have also tried drying just the leaves in my dehydrator on the lowest setting. Both work equally well. I store the whole leaves in an empty large plastic containers from yogurt. Storing them in an opaque container helps to keep their dark green colour. I crush them in the palm of my hand, by rubbing them with my finger just before dropping them into the food. Lovage gives a lovely taste to soups and stews. I got a small root of this wonderful herb from my cousin. Originally, I planted it in a very sunny spot, beside a link fence. My neighbour didn't like it when some of the leafy stems managed to grow through the fence to his side. To keep peace, I dug it out late in the fall, while the ground was not frozen yet and transplanted it in a spot next to my garbage carts where it gets only about 6 hours of the afternoon sun. It is happy in its new spot. I have had it for nearly 20 years. I do fertilize it in the spring with all purpose fertilizer. It does not attract any pests. I hope that you will enjoy yours as much as I do.

      I think it's a good idea to consider your pets in your planting design. Not only does it give them the opportunity to free range and thus get nutrition they most need; but also can help with behaviours by alleviating boredom (eg. lessen the likelihood of MN zoomies in your cats by giving them undergrowth they can prowl thru during the day)
