I am glad I finally found a gardener from OHIO. I followed many gardeners in the south and all their tips are not working for me. Thanks for all your expertise and I will be here from now on:)
I hope you can find some useful tidbits here!
What am I doing to plan for my spring planting?
Watching Growfully with Jenna on CZcams and drinking hot tea on a rainy day. ☕️
😊
Florida here. We began planting for Spring in December.
And we've given up on the native soil. Everyone has turned to raised beds!
But you know what? It's working! We're getting more food out of a smaller space, with less effort.
Anyway, let's keep it green!:)
More food with less effort sounds like a win to me!
"Fool's Spring" - Accurate description! I'm in southeast Michigan and yesterday my husband tilled our garden for the first time ever in March. I asked him to bring out some of our lawn chairs and he said absolutely not. We will most likely get snow every day in April. 😆
Thank you for your videos! I appreciate being able to get gardening advice from someone who's in the same grow zone. You've been very helpful.
It's just crazy isn't it?! But I do agree- I think snow in April is highly likely 😆
Last year we had snow on April 29th 2023, I never seen so late snow coming down in Ohio.
I am so thrilled to find your channel as a zone 6a gardener in Massachusetts. All of your content has been amazingly helpful so far and getting me so excited for spring!!! Thank you so much! 🌱🪻💜
I'm so glad to hear this- thank you!
I am in zone 6b(Halifax, Nova Scotia), I started some indoor seeds and planted milkweeds, lupins in my pollinator’s garden 🪴
I'm very jealous of the fact you can lay down plastics and fabrics without it looking like a comedy show as the wind decides to torture you.
Lol
I'm lucky that I can do it here at home-- we're in a protected spot, surrounded on 3 sides by woods/tree line. Not the case at my parents'- where I get exactly what you're saying!!
Yes expect more snow. Thanks for this as spring fever is certainly here.
Jenna. This video was a wonderful asset to my garden prep work. I've been growing vegetables in the same area for 50 years and I needed to rethink some things. You're clear, concise and informative message gave me direction. Your work benefits people. Thank you
This is so nice to hear!
You’re a blessing to the Ohio garden community. Thank you for your work!
Thank you so much!
I love that your cattle panels are holders for your landscape staples just like mine are 😆
It's the perfect place to keep them so I don't lose track of them!
0:12 Love your sense of humour, in Kansas it's basically windy summer and windy winter.
I am eager to get back in the garden but i am still worried about disturbing our sleeping pollinators, especially since we had that nice weather and now we are back to snow.. Clevelander here. lol I do want to raise our one straight trellis as the peas and beans always outgrow it. So that is on the list to do before next weekend when I plan to plant the peas on St. Patrick's day. I have just got a at home soil test kit and have confirmed my soil in my raised beds is pretty depleted. So I have started accumulating my soil amendments so once its safe to disturb the garden I can amend away and retest the soil before planting.
So far 2024 Apple seeds, Lemon seeds, laid plastic out over the garden and gathered some creek sand for this rough Carolina clay
I'm ready to garden! But, alas, I've another month to go before I can start. My soil looks good but is still frozen a few inches down ...and I'm sure we'll get that one last snow dump that nobody ever wants. The "John Deere green" paint might sun-fade, but even if it doesn't, it will still be less noticeable than the white tops. 🌷
I'm sure you're right about that snow! But I hope you are able to get out and play in the dirt soon!
Just moved to 23 acres in Zanesville Ohio. Setting up 10 rows that will be 60ft long!
Planted shelling peas, lettuce, and cilantro today. Still need to dig in the row for carrots.
That sounds wonderful!
Shared some of your beautiful weather…! I put down weed barrier over cardboard in preparation for a wood mulch shipment I’ll be receiving in a few weeks. That’s going to be for walkways and for an area I plan to grow wine cap mushrooms. I also put up a new raised bed since most of my beds now have garlic in them. (I have no place for my onions)
I have 2 more raised beds I can put up and more walkways to prep. One bed will be strictly brassicas and will be covered with netting. That’s the plan for now…
When I saw you sitting by the winter sowing jugs I was hoping for a peek!
Glad to hear you took advantage of the weather too!
And not too much happening in the winter sown jugs yet-- just a few yarrow and thyme sprouts!
We had 74* Sunday. It’s unheard of in upper Midwest. We are warmer most days than west coast.
Still staying with normal transplant dates. I’m not running around covering everything in May. Need to wait. Not sure if I can even do more winter sow. The few I did may have sprouted already. Things are so messed up.
I prepped most beds last fall. Cleaned out coop and threw that on as I won’t be planting for a while. Did little pruning. Need to spray ag oil and copper on fruit trees before they bud, which could be soon with these temps. Threw some lettuce and spinach in under a tote-we will see. Have a few paths to cover in arborist chips. Cleared a bit of vegetation mainly asparagus beds.
Expecting rain, but when aren’t we in this drought. It will not be a downpour I’m sure-.75-1” again, we will see.
😅 just as I said that it’s sprinkling 😂
Just checked and no sprouts in WS -good. Have on east side of house.
Inside I was lazy in setting up heat pads and didn’t daisy chain them to regulator. Note to self to Not do that again. Hope I didn’t cook the seeds now. 😣
Under high fire warnings and I live in gasoline ally. Just seen they contained a fire in S. MN. And the heavy rain is north and SE of us.
I had to move my winter sowings to the shade... they were getting too hot & drying out to quickly!
Great points!
You will have to have 9’ wide paths between your raspberries like Laura 😂😂.
😆
This will be my first year growing vegetables in my clay soil. I've been following your advice on starting a new bed. Yesterday I cleaned up the fall cover crop and raked the soil into a bed. The soil already looks 100x better! Can't wait to plant it up!
I remember on April 21, 2021, there was 4inches of snow overnight and killed or stunted all the tomato seedlings I put outdoor, even though I tried to cover them. It's too easy to get excited and put them out too early. I won't start tomato seeds until mid-March at least.
Ugh- that's always the trick with gardening, isn't it? It's so tempting to put those frost-tender crops out early, but Mother Nature has her own agenda!
I've gotten so much accomplished the last couple of weeks with all this warm weather. Laying out new garden beds, amending soil in existing garden beds, mulching all the areas that grass and weeds were taking over last year, and setting up drip irrigation while planting cool season plants and setting up more wintersowing containers for the summer garden. Anything that was a problem before, I'm trying hard to get it all done now so after my LFD all I have to do is plant and harvest.
"Fool's Spring" is killing me here in Texas. Our date of last frost is a full month away and I keep getting the urge to plant things. But, like you, I've just been using the good weather to work on infrastructure.
Over at No-Till Growers, he uses a mix of clover as a living pathway instead of mulch (he used to use a creeping chamomile, but it got taken over by his crops).
Glad to hear you've been taking advantage of your nice weather!
I like the clover pathways for my perennial plantings.
Watching you work is inspiring. I can't wait to put up a cattle panel this year
I just followed your example and made an arched trellis over a path with some old fencing. Hoping to grow cukes on it!
Central Ohio here - mostly just trying to get a bit ahead of weeds, and planning to trim some of the dead branches from the bottom of our pine trees while it's fairly easy to get to them. After many years of many ways to support tomatoes and vining veggies, this year I will be going back to the vertical trellises made with electrical conduit and netting that I used at my first house over 30 years ago. Also, planning the veggies to grow this year, getting the seeds, and deciding what will go in pots, and what I'll grow in the garden. Front garden needs a complete redo, but still undecided about what I'll do there. Gardens are always changing, aren't they? 🙂
They are always changing! It's one of the best things about gardens 🙂
You just read my mind! I JUST said I wonder if you had a video on how to prep the garden for Spring and BAM! this was posted only a few minutes ago. ☺️🙌🏾
I'm so glad! And, if you want something that delves into prepping the soil more specifically, I do have this video as well: czcams.com/video/WHWSA1QiRm8/video.htmlsi=3HlwS_TxHLc3nVwy 😀
@@GrowfullywithJenna thank you! I’ll go check it out!
Yes that seasonal chart works for us in Michigan too! I got out to the garden last week though and did some clean up as well and think I’m gonna plant some seeds too soon
This is definitely "fools spring" in midcoast Maine. I'm going to Jamaica in 10 days and can't wait to get back and start some cool crops going indoors. Also going to make a pretty large growbag area.
Oh wow!! Have fun in Jamaica!
I actually planted peas, carrots, and radishes. I have started kale and even started hardening off onions. Weather looks warm in Virginia through March but I know that can change. I have planted poppies, snap dragons, cilantro and sweet peas too. The garden is all ready - layer of topsoil and compost and new archway. It is always hard oscillating between planting crops outside and still taking care of seedlings inside. So exhausting. I did transplant and split my sedum too. I was so glad to get that done before things got fully underway.
You've been busy! That's awesome!
Needed a video to watch during lunch... this pops up 32 seconds ago... LETS GOO
She's welcome any time and any day is my thoughts 😅
😄
I've always thought Jenna should be a daily/weekly please? reality channel. Can't get enough! Plus, she's already done it. Watch her older ones. She might motivate me to clean/reorganize my garage which is like her shed. We have so many common issues.
Love this! I was feeling kind of silly for wanting to rearrange my raised beds but the layout was rushed and really isn’t functional. So I’m putting in the work now and hopefully this year’s garden season will be more enjoyable & productive. 😊
I suspect you'll be so much happier with your new layout!
I started preparing for spring a week ago. In MA we didn't have much of a normal winter this year, but we are not out of the zone until late May
I know what you mean- my last frost date is in mid-May!
Fool's spring fever all over the world!
I'm very seriously getting that itch to get out and plant stuff even though it's still to early. Like you, I'm working on a fairly large sized trellis that will be for growing melons vertically. Right before I start planting I'll probably put in another trellis in the back part of my gardens for gourds and squashes. I'm also debating getting a few trees before dormancy breaks. Other than that, it's seeds in my basement seed starting room and greenhouse.
Hi Jenna! Looks like you've been working hard! I am currently working on a garden expansion and planting several dormant bare root shrubs and a couple fruit trees here in SOMO before real spring hits here! Lots to do! Happy preparations! 😅 💪
I spray painted my t posts, cattle panels, and wire fencing black! Loving the way they disappear.
I considered hitting the fencing too... I'll probably not get to it this year, but it's encouraging to hear that you're happy with your results!
What type of paint brand, matt, glossy, etc did you use? I love how black disappears
@@sn232 I used flat black. The exterior cheapest spray at Lowe's. This was three years ago still looks good enough.😊
Thanks for all the advice! I'm resurrecting a zone 6b garden after years and years away from it - and I've been super overwhelmed with how to even get started. I really appreciate your clarity and inspiration!
Do one small thing at a time. Before you know it, you're well on your way.
I'm so glad to hear you're coming back to the garden!! And I agree with @honeydew4576-- one small thing at a time!
Great video! I live in southeast Ohio and find your content to be particularly helpful. This year I've sown spinach, mesclun greens. carrot, and radish. But the big project this winter is carving a stream throughout the garden. Maybe this year the plants will get watered! (haha) Thanks So Much!
That is awesome! I'd love to hear how it goes!
Here in southern Ohio we’re expanding our garden a lot. I’m also going to be adding a couple cattle panel archways over a couple of my beds. I’ll be using them for baby butternut squash & the other for a few varieties of pole beans.
I’m going to get out there in the beds & start sewing a few things to get a jumpstart. I’m so excited for this time of year!
Sounds lovely!
Very informative video! Garden layout is something I definitely wish I would focused on a little more during the beginning stage of my garden
Glad you found it informative!
My boots are starting to split, just in time😉
Definitely time for some new ones 😄
Im in N.Y and today was beautiful. I to am thinking of atleast one or 2 more snow storms. Hope were wrong Jenna. My broccoli, cabbage are under my grow lights. Cauliflower seeds i decided to try to this year. Last year i just planted from seed broccoli and it was amazing. I beat the cabbage moths . Hoping to do the same again this year. Forecast shows alot of rain for the next week.
Honestly- as long as it's just snow and the temps stay in the upper 20's/low 30's, I'll be happy. Those cool season crops can take it. I just hope we don't dip back down to the really frigid temps!
I'm so glad to hear that your broccoli did amazing last year. I hope this year goes great for you!
I found some metal zip ties. So far so good after 2 years zone 5 Illinois.
Oh- I need some of those! Where did you find them?
@@GrowfullywithJenna Amazon. Twice the price of plastic but totally worth it.
Thank you for sharing this post 😊 I subscribed to your channel 🥇
Thank you too!
@@GrowfullywithJenna of course 😁
Thank you Jenna 🍏🍅👵🏻👩🌾
You're welcome!
Dear Jenna. So happy to hear from you. A few thoughts. I'm growing several varieties of gooseberries, but so far they are a pain. Honey berries are intriguing, but little fruit after 4 years. Interesting enough, one of the objects brought back from the Titanic wreckage was a container of goose berries. If your blackberries are of the Darrow variety, forget it . Their thorns are miserable and so consider other varieties. I have been trying to grow grapes for 30 years and the dirty little secret is that "seedless" varieties like Himrod, Mars, St. Teresa , and seedless Concord are not truly seedless at least in their early propagations. I continue to fight the deer, and despite a 7 foot plastic deer fencing and electric fencing I'm go to poultry (chicken wire) and electric fencing. Thank God for my 2 German Shepherds who are doing the best that they can to keep the critters at bey. Kind Regards, as always. Craig
My 20 year old son wants to start a tiny vineyard in our backyard. In southern Ohio, in the country (occasionally see a deer or two). Any suggestions?
We can’t garden without fencing. Totally agree about seedless grapes. I was surprised.
My favorite gooseberry of all time is 'Jeanne'- more disease resistant, fewer thorns and hands-down best flavor. If I had to do it all over again, it's the only variety I'd plant. The others just aren't worth it for me. And that Titanic tidbit is really interesting!
Sorry to hear about the deer-- I'm curious, is your fence just around the garden, or is it encompassing a bigger perimeter?
My deer fencing surrounds my vegetable garden and orchard (30 fruit trees, grapes, gooseberries (Pixwell), Honeyberries, currents, elder berries and mulberries and bee hives. Even though its a combination of electric fencing and strongest plastic from Home Depot (7 feet high), the sun degrades it and the raccoons claws cut thru it. Back to metal fencing and electric fencing, despite the cost (about 400 feet perimeter) Thank you. Craig@@GrowfullywithJenna
min 3:25 you spray paint the t post tops and I yell out "YOU ARE MY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!" YASSSSSS
I prepared a bed last Fall and already planted Red Mammoth Beets. I'm hoping to get some 10 pounders! The mild flavor should work well for fermented beets, Kvass and Beet wine.
Ooh- I do love kvass... I've never tried beet wine though!
Love this video! I need to be doing all of the above, but alas I am nursing an injury that prevents me from doing any heavy work. I have beds to create and reshape, log borders to install, paths to mulch, arches and trellises to build. Even bending is risky, so hopefully I can get this treated soon. In the meantime, at least my indoor starts are all going well.
I hope your injury heals- take care of yourself!
Your garden door that your daughter either painted or designed or just helped was beautiful, and perhaps her or your young son that seems to help own your garden might have art talent also.
I watch The Urban Gardener, and you are invited for next Saturday. I'm planning to join in.I told him you are my favorite gardener.
Radishes I'll plant and, as mentioned, a few others
Thanks
Thanks! I’m trying to convince my Father-in-law that we don’t need to till- (he was using a tractor 😳-turning the soil to slate) I have gotten about 1/2 of my rows established- so this video gives me so much ammunition information!
I'm so glad this helps! My dad was a tillage addict too... but I think we've finally turned a corner with him!! Thank you!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the tips!
Glad it was helpful!
As always, awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Growing in DE zone 7. Having my morning coffee, then heading out to the garden!!! See you there. Oh my, just noticed...I have the same brown overalls!
Nice-- you have great taste 😄
Golly was it a beautiful day here in southern Ohio!
Yes it was!
Thanks Jenna!
Zone 3b here in Canada. Dreaming about my garden while having a foot of snow all throughout my garden.
I hope that snow melts soon!
This is ny first year using spring covercrops! Im also starting onions from seed!
I'm glad to hear that! I hope your onions do great!
Last week I started kale, spinach, bok choy, variety of lettuce, green onions, dill, and snow peas in my outdoor greenhouse. First attempt at this🤞🏻… and today I started my beets, carrots, and radish in my beds. I don’t have any coverings for my outdoor bed except for frost covers. Trial and error 🙏 your videos have been so helpful for me because I live in zone 6b. Thank you so much!
I heard that intro music and was like 'Wait...is this a Ripe Tomato Farm collab?!?'😂
That music is used in lots of the farming/gardening channels I watch. It's probably one of the few available without lots of trouble and expense.
Hi Jenna I m in Ohio also so it’s ok to plant broccoli n cabbage now I’ve started them inside and now there in green house now but there getting huge in there it’s just a small green house hubby just out it up for me a month ago it’s awesome having it, we’ve been redoing all our raised beds mother time got them lol but wasn’t sure about these brassicas I’ve never grown them before everything else I think lol but this is new to me there looking great so far
That is a great question! Typically I don't transplant out until early to mid-April. But it's been so warm, I'm wondering if we could get away with an earlier transplant time. My fear is that it's going to get really cold again. Most brassicas can handle dips into the low 20's (even teens), once they're established. But I would definitely have the frost cloth on hand if you do decide to plant them out. That way you can easily cover them if the weather takes a turn.
Love your vids !! Thank you 😊 ..... I love my zone 6a gardening, northeast ohio !!!! 😊
Hooray for Ohio gardening!!
Nice job! I love the arch and will try it this year!!
Looks like your decision to let the garden just die down on its own last fall saved you some time and effort on clean up.
Ah, the Mint planter. AND..., right in the way! Looks like you finally had the scratch the head, “WT# was I thinking?” moment. Yeah, I kept planting more and more tomatoes last year, where I was then stuck squeezing around the tomato cages in order to just get in and out of my garden. 🤯
Dill gets out of control too.
Gardening is addicting! What can you say?
It has! I'm going to do this every year!
That is such a great solution for the ugly t-posts! Where did you get those metal corner brackets on the raised beds?
I got those brackets here: www.gurneys.com/product/raised-garden-bed-corners
Hi Jenna! Love your videos!! Well i amended garden rows and did some cleaning up but i also went ahead and planted beets, kale, spinach, carrots and lettuce. This is the earliest i have ever planted anything out in the garden so im really excited to see what happens! Next week im thinking about planting peas and turnips. Im Central Ohio area, out in the country.
I hope they do great for you!
Thanks for the tips. I've stopped using plastic row covers since learning more about microplastics in our food. I'm doing everything I can to avoid using plastic in my garden these days.
Ive been waiting on a Jenna spring prep video ❤ and LOL at the season.. same here in 5b/6a southern coastal maine… the 10 day forecast is way above average.. and I can get down at least 2 inches in my raised beds.. I may test some things cool.. cool things because Mother Nature 😂
Because Mother Nature... 😂 Exactly!
You go girl !
too wet here in Columbus to do much. Luckily all of my beds are well mulched. I would like to be broad forking, juts need 3 days of no rain. LOL
Love your videos.
God bless you I’m a newbie gardener from
Northeast Ohio
And what a blessing to have found your CZcams channel ❤
Can’t wait to see your Harvest and everything you plan on putting into the ground ..
I don’t have acres but I have a back yard where I can put pots and a couple of raised beds.. what do you recommend me to start seedling ? Thanks so much GBU 😇
So nice of you!
Nice boots but I think the pink looks better on you !!!!! I'm waiting for the garden to dry out so I can till 1/3 of the winter rye in to prepare for my early crops (onions, peas, cabbage, turnips and radish's). I'm in the bottom of a valley so timing is the hardest part come spring because of the ground being saturated. I didn't know that chickens eat chickweed, but I do now and I know what to do with it for now on (they also LOVE tomato worms!!!). Off the subject.... I was talking to an older gardener friend and telling him my peppers are being stubborn this year to sprout and he told me he soaks his seeds a few days before planting and most come up in a couple days. I will definitely give this a try next year but was wondering if you ever heard of this. Have a wonderful day !!!!
😆
Regarding the pepper question-- For almost all veggies, soaking the seed overnight (or at least for a few hours), can speed germination!
So much work! BUT! Oh - the exercise and fresh air and sunshine - and you actually get to watch your work grow and then eat it!
Exactly!
Missouri too!
Hello Jenna! I’m in zone 6b south of Pittsburgh! With this nice weather we’ve been having I will clean up my 12 by 16 garden of weeds and put a layer of compost in it. I also have 2 nice size raised garden beds to clean out and get ready for planting when time comes! I started my seeds of herbs(dill, thyme,parsley,rosemary, ) in my basement near a window filled with light!
I will be pruning my raspberries and blackberries this week, then prepping new beds for them and will transplant them. They are spreading and threatening to take over the entire garden. Last week was the earliest 70 degree day I have experienced in Wisconsin since moving here in 2008. I have lots of other garden infrastructure work to do, so I don't mind if the unusually mild weather continues, provided we don't get a hard freeze in early May when my fruit trees should be blossoming.
Northeast Ohio here! We started cleaning out our raised beds last week. I may have left some parsnips in there all winter 😅 But I’ve got some lovely broccoli and cabbage babies started that I can’t wait to transplant soonish.
Zone 3B.....just had a foot of snow last weekend! LOL Only indoor peppers here.
😮 I'm sure you're sick of it, but I'm jealous. I love snow and we've hardly got any this winter!
@@GrowfullywithJenna I am not actually complaining either because we are in a drought position....no fall rain and not much snow. That said, I envy all who are starting their gardens already. I am living vicariously because it will be at least 2 months before I can start mine.
Here in the east Texas 8b, I’ve cleared some raised beds and spread shrimp meal to fight root knot nematodes. The onions and potatoes are planted and lots of companion seedlings are ready to pop in everywhere in a few days.
Cool weather crops are still in my greenhouse waiting for a cleared raised bed to go in. So much chick weed to pull!
Another great video. It’s really nice to find someone so knowledgeable just below my zone. I’m in S.E. Michigan so 6a-6b I think.
😆
The chart at the beginning gave me a chuckle .
Where are we in the list are I wonder? It’s mid March. Thanks- I’m looking for your suggestions on onion planting but I guess this will do!
I'm near the lake.
I've been tidying up plant matter. I planted peas, carrots, and parsnips today.
A lot of my brassicas have popped up in my winter sowing containers. Once they're bigger, I'll plant them out. I'm waiting a bit longer on potatoes.
I also ordered a raspberry and a grape, which will arrive in a coiple weeks. Very excited for gardening to shift into gear fully!
Sounds like you've got the gardening bug!!
Nice warm late “winter” this year. Luckily Its been dry. I’m getting out this week to do my wood chip mulch, cut out wild raspberries, ground Ivy, and trim hedges. And throw down some grass seed. Give my gooseberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, the usual once a year love and attention and haircut.
Sounds great!
I have been taking advantage of the same weather in Southern Ontario (in 6B as well), dug up some invasive plants, fixing a raised garden bed, and hoping to be able to plant out my brassica seedlings in the next couple of weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed that this really isn't a Fool's Spring 😂 (doubt it)
love the video Jenna! May your harvest be blessed!
Thank you!
Really like this channel!
I appreciate that!
I love hearing you say "need fixed" and "need repaired". 😂 People are always trying to correct my grammar when I say things like that and I know they aren't from Ohio/Indiana when they do.
Haha-- gotta love our midwestern 'grammar' 😆. I try to speak properly, but things like that tend to sneak in!
@@GrowfullywithJenna I once did a poll on Instagram and most people from Ohio don't even notice it. It's so normal to us. I only started paying attention to it when people pointed it out to me so many times.
I love regional differences like that.
Do you call a vacuum a sweeper, too?
@threerivershomestead oh that is interesting! And I do call it a sweeper 😆
Just what I needed to hear! I’m always afraid to change something thinking it’s so much work, but you have inspired me to try it. Thank you.
Zone 5 but in false spring too! Cleaning up my compost as it never got above 40 in the pile except once. Obviously did something wrong.
Last year I trained a young thornless blackberry over a trellis tunnel and it worked great. So much easier to pick and maintain 😊
Ooh- I may have to borrow this idea-- thanks!
This was a very timely video! I spent some time today doing some of these same things, including moving some T-posts and sowing my first ever cover crop (the Johnny's Spring cover crop blend). I also started eggplant and peppers, including Gurney's Triple Delight and Perfect Rings. Thanks for those suggestions.
Appreciated the information.
Happy to share!
I like your season list, it’s so true.
Feeling refreshed ❤🏞️🏡
Hi Jenna! You gave me a great idea. I have blackberry and raspberry bushes in my garden beds that I need to relocate. Thanks for all you do😊
I have snow and sugar snap peas up about an inch. Some tiny kale but it's shady there.
Ooh that's exciting!
PAINTING YOUR WHITE POST ENDS , TRY USING THE “DARK OLIVE” CAMO spray paint like RUSTOLEUM… That’s what I use & it looks - Uhhhh🤔, NO, IT Doesn’t LOOK😂 , IT BLENDS WELL with most of your plants… I EVEN painted my Storage shed out near the garden and it HIDES very well right next to my CEDAR🌲Tree… 😁 👍
Thank you for the recommendation... I've really been struggling with that color. I picked up another spray can the other day thinking it would match the dark green of the bottom of the posts perfectly... got it home and it's exactly the same color green I used in the video 😆
I went out to start planning my garden and discovered my fall planted kale overwintered here in Kentucky. Didn’t know kale could do that. I literally just threw expired seeds on the ground around September and forgot about them. It looks great and tastes sweet. I was pleasantly surprised.
Amazing isn't it. I'm in Lexington and I had celery! make it through the winter not to mention 2 types of parsley that are begging me to eat them. Happy gardening!
What a lovely surprise!
I'm so in love with it!! your willingness to try is the first step towards making a positive difference, great idea !! 😀😇🤗
Thanks so much! 😊
Great video, as always. I need to consider that cattle gate at some point in the future for beans.
