    A good reminder that failures can lead to success in gardening. I scored an 80 but I'm sure I will still come across these problems again.

    I sure learn a lot from your videos. Insects are my big problem.

    • @PhilippinesFarmLife

      The best solution for me regarding insects is to use the very low cost mosquito type netting.

  • @Taloth1969
    @Taloth1969 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Wife and I know exactly what trying to grow in sand is all about. We are in DeSoto County, FL. on a sand bar pretty much. Doing much better after slowly converting to raised beds for most the veggies. But it has been a struggle. Sweet potatoes and Seminole pumpkins don't mind the sand though so they stay on the ground. Not sure if you ever tried Everglades Tomatoes before but once you get them started, they don't turn off....it's a welcome problem to have. The hurricanes are definitely the most heartbreaking when they come too close. Ian actually flooded our 32 acres and the 180 mph winds took out most of our big oak trees. They said we broke the 100 year flood record for our area by 4ft or more. The plants that did survive went to keeping our hogs alive. When the waters didn't stop rising, I had to cut the fence and let the hogs into the garden. They climbed up on the raised beds to sleep to stay out of the water. Thank God the water never came higher than the bottom step of our house. Many in our area weren't so lucky. The bright side was all the flood waters receded and left behind a lot of rotting vegetation. The pigs self seeded all the crops they had eaten for us and we had alot of surprises popping up all over the yard. Never had so many acorn squash before LOL.

    Hollis, will you please make a detailed video of how you organize your notebook and what kind of information is essential to keep track of. Your organization skills are top notch, and I'd like to do a better job of tracking my successes and failures so I can do a better job of planning for next year's garden. Thanks to you and Nancy for sharing and teaching us all how to be better food growers for our families and friends.

  • @valhallamcgaughey3720
    @valhallamcgaughey3720 Před 4 měsíci

    I scored a 100. THANK YOU for this video. It’s one of the most realistic and encouraging videos on gardening that I’ve seen. Also, you’re probably the only person I’ve seen discuss how weather affects the gardener **separately** from the crops. That is a real thing. For me, I don’t mind the heat but I am not a morning person so in the summer time here in Texas it can already be 90° before I get out to water my plants and they are always mad at me about it. We have drought water restrictions also, though, so I’m not allowed to set up timed irrigation. Happy gardening, y’all!

  • @thesassyfarmer_
    @thesassyfarmer_ Před 5 měsíci

    I scored a 40. I started out gardening last year with a few transplants from a vendor at the farmer's market. This year I want to start seeding and growing more produce to supplement what I buy from the grocery store. Your channel has really inspired me to get serious about gardening and has broadened my excitement and the reality of what's possible when it comes to gardening. I live in an apartment so I'll be continuing with container gardening. Hopefully by the end of this year my score will have improved.🤞🏽I'm a little late to the party but I've started my first seedlings two days ago. Can't wait to see what happens. Thank you Hollis and Nancy for all you do. May you continue to have an overflow of abundance. ❤

    @shelley2086 Před 5 měsíci

    In my old yard with awesome soil & in town where it's a bit warmer and protected, I would have gotten 90 even with squirrels. My gardens looked wonderful! In my not so new yard (15 yrs. now), I am still struggling with poor soil, every animal you mentioned except rats, timing, & more. I got 10. I'll be checking out your previous videos. Thanks!

  • @amyk6028
    @amyk6028 Před 5 měsíci +2

I have encountered a lot of setbacks but I just see them as learning opportunities. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your detailed videos! Some of the best on CZcams for sure! Be blessed 😇

    New subscriber here! I love you and Nancy, you are the sweetest couple, and your love for gardening and each other shows in every video. I have been gardening for 30yrs, started out with two indeterminate beefsteak tomato plants and one jalapeno. Have gradually over the years graduated to other vegetables, this year will be my first year growing spaghetti squash and corn in containers. I scored a 60 on your thumb test as 5 of the questions I do not encounter where I live (so far, lol). I am growing my determinate tomatoes and peppers in a pop up greenhouse and have had great success with that. Thank you for all the very practical and heart felt info you give in every video. Wishing everyone a fabulous harvest this and every year!

    I scored 85. I will definitely revisit this video in the future to see if im improving. Perhaps another extra credit question would be dealing with burn out. My garden is my escape to enjoy life and clear my head. When the garden starts stressing me out it can feel quite defeating. Wonderfully thought out video! God bless y'all.
