    Dear Gary, I just want to thank you for the abundance of knowledge you share with us. I have learned so much from you and I also want to mention that you are the only one that IS NOT about having the camera in his face constantly like everyone else. It is so much better to watch the plants and see the actual interaction with them rather than watch someone's face as they go on talking for an eternity. You are an actual teacher and it is clear you want to share and teach in the most effective way. I just wanted to let you know how great this channel is and how much I really love it (you). Thanks again.

    Another great way to use zucchini is to make flour out of them. We grate them and spread the zucchini over our dehydrator trays and dry them out. Once dry it gets put into a food processor and turned into flour. It makes great flour and is used at a ratio to regular flour of 1 to 1. The products don't rise as much but is a healthy alternative when needed for health reasons.

    I have never had any luck growing a garden . I stumbled across you here on CZcams to realize I was doing everything wrong. I took your tips and started seeds indoor, got my plots ready and holy smokes! I have way more than I can possibly eat. I have really aged manure, like over 15 years old that my plants love, though, I have taken your advice to fertilize. Thanks for the great videos.!

I have lots of good, healthy zucchini’s coming on. Love the instruction for how to use the zucchini at different growth stages/sizes. Very helpful.

    Dude, you taught more in this video about squash and zucchini than most college professors teach in a semester.
    I think the old adage is, "Give a man a fish and he will never learn to grow his own food."
    Teaching pruning with a sensible mindset makes the world a better place.
    Thanks Gary! You are appreciated much.

    Thanks for this video. I have my 1st garden this year, and have been so confused over what to do and how to care for it. This video helped me a whole lot! More than others I've watched. My squash and zucchini are growing better than anything else I planted, well the beans are doing pretty good too. I noticed some squash bugs about a week ago, so I've been on here trying to figure out what to do, but I absolutely hate bugs, and have been wanting to just run far away from the whole garden, LOL! But I'm determined to make this garden work. Really enjoyed the video & it was very helpful. Thanks again!

As I continue to live with prgressive vision loss, I put more value into preventative measures rather than relying on my sighted sous gardener. :) Being able to garden makes such a huge difference in my life, I am grateful to do it even though my mini trnips get bugs, and my squash plants get beetles. Thank you for showing how even fully sighted gardeners have to deal with these things. :)

    I love your channel. Thank you for the information from your indoor seed starting series because you saved us quite a bit. Six Black Krims, 6 Brandywines, 10 cukes, 50 peas, and many sweet peas. Oh yes, 4 zukes are too many for 2 people, 200 potato onions (doing wonderfully), 150 garlic (I think I got greedy and planted them too close but they are doing great!). Needless to say, my spring garden is over and the summer garden is in full swing. My husband and I love watching your channel and every time you mentioned using something OTHER than "organic" fertilizer or anything... I cringed because I know you'll get crushed in the comment! Thank you for weathering through the judgemental portion of the population 😂 We, little people, appreciate what you do. Thank you!

    Gary, I just received your book, "The Modern Homestead Garden", in the mail today. This is a very good book. Loaded with information all gardeners new and old should have. For the new gardeners it will get them started on the right path without making costly mistakes. For the old gardeners it is a good refresher reference tool. Thanks for all you have done for us. By the way, that video on squash was just in time for me. My zucchini needs some help to stay healthy and your information is just what I need. Thanks again.
    Condee from the Ozarks.

    I've found that Squashs and zucchini are easier to grow and manage in Totes. I love my Tote garden, way less bug issues.
    Gary I spray my cucumbers and squash with the Dr bronners peppermint Castile soap after pruning to cover up smell. I started with 4 squash plants and now have one after the vine borer destroyed my other 3. So far my last plant shot up to 6 feet after pulling those plants. I finally see my first female flower today 😀

    You have some gorgeous squash plants. Man I miss the soil up north...I literally plan on taking a grain truck up north to visit family and steal some black gold to bring back home to texas. and I'm not joking. You just drop a seed on that stuff and it is immediately going to grow into the most gorgeous thing you've ever seen. Not here in the southern part of Texas normally. Makes me sad every spring and summer.

    Hi I have been following your channel for sometime and I’m a newbie to your Facebook group and I absolutely love it. I have learned so much. My question is: Is the captain jacks ddb just as effevtibetas Sevin for cucumbers and Japanese 🪲?

    • @Razzy-sr4oq
      @Razzy-sr4oq Před rokem

      The Japanese beetles are TOUGH, and Sevin can be pretty harsh, but if the other dust doesn't work, I know you'll have massive success with Japanese Beetle traps. They look like hourglass shaped bags, hang them a little ways away from your plants and soon they'll be 5lbs heavy with bugs.

      I remove leaves. I typically prune back leaves that are blocked by other leaves

    My first planting of zucchini and squash just weren't productive and I replaced them with different varieties and some extra plants. Now it appears we have much healthier plants and are probably going to have a lot of zucchini and squash, more than we will be able to use and freeze. But that's a good problem to have with your garden. My 1st zucchini produced 3 different shaped zucchini 1 regular shape, 2 bulbous at the blossom end like a squash and 3 bulbous at the stem end. Plus most of them weren't fully pollinated. With half of July still left I had plenty of time to move on and try something else.

    I have learned MORE about real pruning and vine topping, and proper ID and reasons why to do what, in these 18 minutes than I have in 8 years of gardening, watching other vids, talking to alleged 'master gardeners' and using every book my library could give. You are a GODSEND. But I'm left with one question. Do you compost those pruned leaves, or burn them?

    Take the process one step further and tie the main plant vine to a stake. The stake will keep the vine going upwards. Trim all the leaves and secondary growth points below the lowest set fruit. By keeping the main stem staked and all the lower leaves trimmed, you prevent powdery mildew, reduce the chances for vine borers through visual inspection, you can grow more plants in less space and if you're pollinator challenged, makes it easier to hand pollinate.

    I am a brand new gardener. I have two zucchini plants that I planted in the end of May. Here we are in late July and I still have not had any female blossoms (meaning no fruit.) They were putting out blossoms (one a day) until it rained for a week straight. Now I have not had any blossoms for over two weeks. What can I do?

    This is my first year having success watching your video. I planted them on April 16-2024 and today is may 13 with 4 zucchini already. I am so thankfull for your video. Keep up the great work.

      Typically something organic with spinosad. If that doesnt work. Sevin Dust. Not organic though.

    You mentioned watering them only 3x/week. I would love to see a future video covering your system / technique of tracking which plants need to be watered each day. Do you create a markable spreadsheet each year since each plant's watering needs vary?

    • @THERUSTEDGARDEN
      @THERUSTEDGARDEN  Před 3 lety

      I don't have a spreadsheet because it just varies way too much. East verses West coast. Humidity on not. Plant size and temps. Just too many variables. Earth beds verses containers. When you are pushing upper 90's, it could be daily. Sorry. I have though about it but it would be almost impossible unless you lived next door.

    The main reason I grow zuchinni is to make lemon zuchinni bread... it's to live for. Zuchinni sliced long are good for making lasagna without pasta. You can also make them into delicious fries. Last year I canned some in pibeapple juice and they can be used as I would for any canned pineapple, as they take on that flavor. So I plan to use them in breads or cakes. Sometimes, when I have more than I can use or process, I grate it and freeze in bags for later use.
