    Something I discovered last year that was really good for keeping bugs down was having water gardens, with waterlilies, and other edible water plants, in your garden in various places. The frogs arrive by the hundreds and spawn etc in them and there are hardly any bugs. Lots of frogs though...but since frogs don't damage crops, I am 'ok' with this.

    Jess, I ,too, am an introvert, and my most enjoyable social times are to just hang out with close friends and family. I don’t need nonstop conversation or entertainment, I just enjoy spending time together. That is what you bring to the table, a low pressure, warm, friendly, interesting, and educational experience. I just get to hang out with you and walk away enriched, rather than drained. I bless you, ‘til next time.

    Growing onion from seeds is SIMPLE, cheap, and rewarding. I start mine in February. I throw a bunch of seeds in 4x4 inch containers. They will grow like blades of grass. When it's time to plant them out, you dump them out of the containers and gently pull them apart. Because the roots are "stretchy," the roots don't break. You could probably grow 20+ onion plants in one 4x4 inch container. Good luck!

    Nasturtiums are one of my kids favorite things we grow. The flowers are really tasty fresh and the leaves are great in salad and really nice cooked into soups as well, but my kids love to pick the flowers and suck the nectar out of the "straw" at bottom. It tastes like spicy honey. Also the seeds are really tasty too, they are often used as mock capers in Italian recipes. As far as them working for pest control, I have found the best ones are the dark red varieties and some of the trailing yellow ones, but they really only work if the nasturtiums themselves are stressed. Then they are fantastic pest magnets and will be loaded with bugs. If they are thriving though, the bugs tend to ignore them. I plant them everywhere and some end up serving as traps, most don't.

    Just a heads up, but there are no *commercially available* GMO seeds ANYWHERE. When seed companies advertise that they are non-GMO, that is purely a gimmick.

    Also, arugula will germinate like crazy and grow insane amounts over the winter.

It is extremely cold tolerant, so it will handle a lot of frost very well.

But it is definitely a staple in our house. I can grab a canned jar, heat it, add the kale and then when it is fully heated add the cream. Eat it with a fresh loaf of bread. Fantastic.

  • @krickette5569
    @krickette5569 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Michelle you were talking about bug pressure. I have found ways to slow them down. I stopped planting my squash and cucumbers in the same area each year and I stopped planting them all together as well. I will grow one or two plants together in a container and it will be on the complete opposite side of the garden from any other squash or cucumber plant. I also plant Basil in with the plants, squash bugs do not like Basil. Because I grow only a couple plants in one spot, it's Much easier to look under the leaves to find the beetles and their eggs. And growing them far away from any other squash or cucumber plants it takes longer for the bugs to realize there are other plants available. Squash beetles overwinter in the dead grass/fallen leaves and under the boards and rocks, etc. around our gardens (my garden beds are made with cement blocks so there are Lots of places for them to hide) so each fall I will go all around my garden and clean it, haul away leaves and debris and then right before we get a hard freeze I will turn over any rocks or blocks I use as bed borders. That way the freeze will kill off the bugs. For trellising tomatoes, have you thought of using a cattle panel? I started using this method several years ago for my indeterminate tomatoes and haven't looked back. As the plant grows I will attach the stems to the cattle panel to support them. If you use this method, when you attach your cattle panel to the post make sure you attach it where the base of the cattle panel is a foot or so above ground level, your tomatoes don't need the trellis when they are small and raising it gives you more trellis up top when it's needed. I really enjoyed your video and will be going online to look at Berlin seeds. I'm always looking for new places to buy seeds from and I prefer the smaller companies. I hope Cody is feeling better by now!

    I’m in VA. I had terrible pest pressure the first year of my garden. Last year, I wanted to focus on making my garden beautiful as well as productive. I planted a ton of marigolds, nasturtiums, sunflowers, and zinnia all around the perimeter and a few inside the vegetable garden. The birds spent the summer eating the sunflower seeds and insects. I had ZERO pest pressure. I couldn’t figure out why until I realized the only thing I did differently was the flowers. I’m still a novice gardener so perhaps it was something else but I had a ridiculous amount of squash and cucumbers (planted more last year as I expected losses)! Maybe it would help in your area?

  • @dhansonranch
    @dhansonranch Před 5 měsíci +3

    You will have a good garden. As others have suggested, I would suggest planting marigolds amongst your squash, cucumbers and brassica's. I like the cracker jack variety for this application because they grow about 18 - 24 inches tall. Marigolds contain pyrethrin, a natural repellent. They are also edible and add some color to the garden. I plant a sprouting broccoli which sends out side shoots after the main head is removed - I get more weight from the side shoots than the head and have broccoli right up to freeze (your zone may be different, dunno). For spuds, might I suggest netted gems or russet - they are a drier potato but they keep really well and I often have until June in my slightly heated cellar. I would also suggest the Canada Crook neck squash as folks in your parts that grow them state that they do not seem to be affected by the squash bugs. I grow them but have no squash bugs here - their texture is similar to buttercup. There are so many varieties of dried beans to try - I grew 5 varieties and ordered a few more to try this year. They produced really well, although some better than others. BTW nasturtiums are really good to eat - a bit peppery but good. You can also make the seed heads into capers if that is something you like. Plant the greens! lol. Think greens powder for smoothies, etc. LOL Good video! Good luck!

    Regarding growing sweet corn in the midst of surrounding field corn: as long as they don’t tassel at the same time you should be fine. Corn is usually done pollinating within a few days of tasseling/silking, so they would almost need to be simultaneously at the same stage. I’m surrounded by corn fields as well within 50’ of my garden and have never had an issue with cross pollination. Also about growing thyme, yes it’s slow to mature but is likely a perennial in central Ohio as it is for me in central Indiana, so it should come back on its own. We enjoy your channel and appreciate you keeping it practical and real for ordinary folks like us. Thanks.

    I discovered something that works really well to keep aphids from brassicas and it also works well to repel squash bugs. I interplant everything with cilantro and radishes and let them grow until they turn brown. Even though they're dead don't pull them out until after a hard frost. I had aphid free plants and pulled out the dead cilantro and radish plants and the next morning everything was covered with aphids.
    I tried nasturtiums once but they didn't repel aphids. In fact, the broccoli was so full of them that the leaves looked like they covered with a green carpet. There wasn't a single aphid on the nasturtiums I'd planted next to the broccoli.

    My thyme, oregano, rosemary, sage and chamomile all overwintered and regrew. I’m zone 5b in Wisconsin. I also recommend putting the weeds, I mean sage, in a pot. 😂😉

    Hello! Michelle has mentioned some health problems she’s had including blood sugar issues and adrenal fatigue. I currently am a healthy young woman with blood sugar issues which doesn’t make any sense. When she’s ready (if ever), I would personally love to know about her experience and how she’s navigated it. Also… I found your guys’ channel and want to be your friends that’s how I refer to you when my husband asks what I’m watching 😂 Anyways, thank you for what you’re doing. I’m here to learn for the long run! Praying for your family’s happiness and success 🙏🏼

    I just found your page and I love it, not to mention a bit envious. I'm in Alaska, zone 3b, yes, the arctic region. Our growing season is less than 120 days. Last summer we had a crappy summer. We had a lot of rain and temperatures only got above 70 maybe once or twice. Even though crappy summers are commonplace, we have about g20 hours of daylight, so things grow fast and it all comes ready all at once. Better have the Ball jars and canners ready.

    I always plant my onions from seed and start them in January. I will have to give them haircut before placing them out but by planting them side by side with my mother in law bought bunches they do way better. So much so my mother Inlaw won't even buy the bunches anymore. We also live in ohio and my favorite white onion for size nd storing is sirra blanca

    I’m also in central Ohio and appreciate your content so much!! ❤I also have not been successful with cucumbers even though I try every year! I highly recommend nasturtiums! It’s one of my favorites to grow! It’s definitely a bug trap but I love the peppery flavor (similar to arugula) I’ve dried it it also and made herb salt with it for gifts for Christmas!

    We grow Jimmy Nardello peppers every year, then stuff them with fresh goats cheese and store them in chilly infused oil. Probably the best thing we make with out goat's milk.

    Hello! I only recently found your channel and I'm loving it! Just thought I'd share with you a tip I learned from Shawn & Beth Dougherty, authors of The Independent Farmstead. You can use a 10:1 delusion of water and milk to spray on your vine crops and it will feed the plants and deter pests like squash bugs. I hope you have a great growing season. God bless you.

  • @theddhunters2266
    @theddhunters2266 Před 5 měsíci

    Yay! I’m so glad I’ve found you all. We live in Central Ohio, and I’ve found it difficult in the past to watch gardeners that live in a different growing zone. We go to Berlin Seeds every year to get seeds. My all time favorite green beans is Blue Lake bush. They are a stringless bean that is delicious, prolific producer and great canned.

    Really enjoy your channel. The thing that gives you hope in the winter, is spring is coming!
    You should try thyme tea.I have found goldenrod is nice if that grows up there. I'm in Piedmont area, NC
    My grandpa planted Kennebec. You stirred up a nice memory. I was his shadow.
    Happy Garden planning everyone! God bless.

    Nasturtiums are amazing!!! Pop those seeds in the corners of all your raised bed. You’ll have gorgeous flowers pouring over the edges and you can eat every part of the plant. The seeds are as big of chickpeas for easy harvesting and they attract predatory wasps which are amazing at caterpillar control!!!

    Thank you sharing the seed catalog. I will not be planting on such a large scale so was happy to find many seeds suitable for containers. Now to get through winter. I am in SW Texas so a very different climate than you guys. Seeing how you think it through helps so much. Love your videos.

    Royal Burgundy Beans are amazing fresh off the plant. They're my favoirte raw eating "green" bean. Delicious! And don't forget about Lemon Cucumbers, great for relish and chutney, and the Kiddos (& full size) love eating them raw! Like a little juicy apple-melon!
