Is the BT spray safe to eat? My caterpillars are eating the broccoli itself (as well as the leaves) I’ll have to get rid of it all but wondering if after washing something sprayed with BT is safe to ingest?

Bought one that was being sold as a poblano. It was too small when I purchased it to tell the difference but as soon as it began to mature the difference became obvious. If the heat is too much, I’m planning on going the pepper jelly route.

Any recommendations for June bugs on my grapes?

I have 146 plants I started indoor I have most of them in the garden, and some in grow bags and pots, I started a second set of plants for a next harvest late season, and made a greenhouse from a old carport to extend my season!

I love your videos. Where did you get the shade cloth tunnel from?

I really ❤❤❤ like your video

I like your idea ❤❤❤❤

Omg your garden 😢 it’s gorgeous!

Great information to us gardeners in Ohio! Thank you!

Please post that strain of Bt you are using for disease protection. I haven’t heard of that strain for tomato early blight. And where to buy it. Thank you!

Thanks for the thorough explanation of Surround.

You are my favorite go to person for gardening. :). thank you ! I live in Miamisburg OH

Hi! I’m in Eaton OH! Any tips for ants on Loofa? I use DE but I don’t like it all the time due to pollinators. But these ants here destroy every bit of new growth on the Loofa! And shade cloth is a game changer!! 🎉 I sail it over my garden so I can work under it also! Yes my gardens are much smaller than yours!

Such a hard year - we are in IN - first year in many that I didn't lose the zukes as fast as the first fruit tried to come on. But we are having to use weed barrier as we can't get the Johnson grass to not take over . . . whatever can you do? You are growing in the ground - how do you get away from Johnson Grass, Canadian Thistle, the nightshades that grow in this area??? It is not as easy to cover the plants in weed barrier with the bug barriers and shade cloth - we are looking at making a frame. Help! We really need to figure out some of this. Thanks for your great advice - I want to know when to start brassicas for fall - this year is so strange!!!

Thanks! Well worth the full watch; wide range of info.

I live in southern Ohio and you have no idea of how much you have helped me with my gardening. THANKS so much .

I do a drill method. I have a 1.5", 2.5", and 3.5" diameter auguer that I drill into my hard clay with. It makes planting a breeze especially with potatoes and transplants.

Or, you could just buy the corn ears at 2 for a dollar and later on at 4 for a dollar at the grocery store. I'm not that smart, so I have 5 30 ft. rows of Incredible. It's a great hobby for someone who is retired like I am.

What poppies are planted at 13:25? They are gorgeous!

I'm a new gardener near Dayton Ohio and just have to say I love your scientific approach and detailed explanations, an easy subscribe from me! Also, I am big fan of Xero shoes too :)

Great to see you, and hear your voice Jenna! I noticed you have nicotiana planted in your vegetable garden, do you worry about mosaic virus with your tomatoes? Thanks for a great video!

I know this isn't your mulch video, but do you deal with pill bug population explosions with heavy mulching? I've been mulching much like you show for a couple years, and this year the pill bugs killed or damaged a large fraction of seedlings and transplants. I had install little fences around all large-seeded plants as they emerged, and around the stems of tomato plants.

If you totally saturate your transplants (read bottom AND top water) a few hours before they come out of the trays and fill the hole with water before you put them in the ground, none, except for the most sensitive plants will suffer transplant shock. No droop, no nothing.

When do you plant for fall Rutabaga, and when to plant Collard greens?

I'm intrigued by method two and creating seed tape using toilet paper in the winter. My question is whether exposing the seed to the moisture of the glue mixture will reduce later viability because they've been wet, dried, and stored until planting. Do you have any thoughts on this?

We tried an experiment starting sweet corn, watermelon, squash, beans and cukes during this last week of 90+ temps. Soaked the seeds overnight, saturated the soil, planted and then mulched with all of our spent broccoli and cauliflower leaves. For added pest prevention, we laid down a shade cloth over each bed to deter curious squirrels chipmunks and birds. We've had germination through the soil within 3-4 days on everything, and they are looking strong even with the heat. Gotta get creative this time of year!

18:05 What are those beautiful purplish flowers growing on both sides of you? I love them. Cincinnati grower here. TFS❤

2:23 It’s the adorable frog perched on the left on the right side of the screen for meeeee. ❤️

Beautiful people beautiful garden

Been going through my own struggles. without my garden and dog (dog is getting old), I would be lost, really miss my cat. My garden is sowed with love, I let her go her way and try to just add more beauty. 2/3rds of what I grow i give away or feed to my worms, I am fine with that. No matter what, my garden has brought nature back into my life. I have to start celebrating the garden outside again with my violin . A couple years ago I used to play a lot outside, actually grew an audience once or twice. Hope to survive the next year, really need to, many living things depend on that.Here is a poem I wrote a year or so ago. Who would care, at the stare, of a hummingbird! My only peace, is what they mean to me . When I am gone, no one will care, but the hummingbird, when they take, the flowers away. I care not bout the bounty of the garden, of what it brings to me, I care more for the bounty of the garden, that gives to all things that are free. It is my soul, as a combat veteran, I bring to thee, the aroma of the herbs on a warm evenings night, it should have been me. The garden has given me a light, not to fear the lonesome night. Love your videos. Please stay well!!!!

I have put shade cloth over my potatoes. I have them in 5 gallon buckets on my patio so between the sun and reflection from the cement and my white house they were just getting burned up. The shade cloth has really helped. I have thought about putting some to partially cover my tomatoes and peppers on these really scorching hot days we have had. I am in Ohio in 6b and like you this June has been rough. My tomato and pepper leaves are curling and wilting. When it cools off a little after dark they look better so I know it is the sun. I have never used it on anything but the potatoes. What do you think? Should I try it or just let them tough it out? Thanks for your very timely videos Jenna.

I use coffee bean bags for my paths ... I get them for free from Kicking Horse Coffee in Invermere BC

Sadly my growing season is too short for delays and succession planting, and this year we have had only one really hot day. If I don't plant on-time I get no crop before the frost. Loved the advice, though. I'm especially interested in that competitive bacteria. It might be worth trying.

I live in Ohio zone 6b. My brassicas got hammered this year. I noticed you use hoop tunnels with netting, where do you buy them at? My nets and shade cloth aren’t doing the job. Thanks! Love your channel, I get a lot of tips having a similar growing environment and weather.

I have worked on mending and adding compost to our soil for our vertical gardens here in zone 7b with some success. The greatest problems this year are a few you have addressed well here, increasing microbial content and keeping worm/beetle damage at bay. Oh, and definitely appreciate that we're not the only ones sowing crop seeds late in the season.

Rain! Glorious rain! Finally! My gardens were suffering with the heat and drought. I had to cover my basil for a week. Now I think everything has a chance and maybe I can fertilize. Extreme heat in NH is uncommon but we broke records last week, even reaching 100F. VT had rain. Northern NH had rain, but I'm in the central part of NH and, no rain for two weeks. After the rain over the weekend, I mulched with red cedar shavings. Seems alright.

I switched to burpless cucumbers last year and have had much less damage from beetles.

I’m new to gardening. How do I know which shade cloth is better? White or black?

But mulching blocks the attraction of the sun to the dark soil . . . if you mulch the soil takes longer to warm up and germination happens when the seed warms up

Most abundant resource I have is wood chips and saw dust (not really dust ... it was used for insulation in the walls of old buildings here that are dilapidated now). I'm on the west side of the Rockies with birch, cedar and lots of fir trees. The neighbor allows me to have all the saw dust from the waste pile from their old saw mill -- hasn't been in use for decades so the pile is rich in wood remnants ... pretty near soil. I have a wood shredder so I can make lots of chips but that too is in some of the walls in the old buildings.

Yes you get the heat and we don't -- it's been a strange spring here in the Columbia valley BC . . . cold for the most part with some teasing warm days and plenty of rain, but after planting out we got frost or near frost so seedlings suffered. Thank you for your tips!!!

Love your vids! As a beginner you are my 1st "go to" for anything. I was concerned I didn't get things planted soon enough and then the heat wave eased my worries. Your garden is amazing and I'm sure it is basically 24/7 work.

It's funny that you are now leaning into the liquid fertilizers. I have always used the liquids, usually as a foliar spray because it seems to make a faster improvement, but I just started adding in some granular fertilizers. I have always struggled to grow melons; the growth always seems very slow and I get tiny melons. I decided to try some bone meal and Espoma Plant Tone as a side-dressing every few weeks and that has made a big improvement. Now I'm testing it on all of my plants (even though I'm pretty happy with their growth and production).... always trying to tweak and improve things.

I watched both of your videos on moles. We have the same problem, they are everywhere. Like you I don't care that they have tunnels all over my yard but my gardens, really... they can do so much damage. I hate killing animals and too its my last resort. When they continue to tunnel under my whole row of cucumbers and push all my mature plants right out of the ground and instead of tunneling around my tomatoes they seem to tunnel right to them. We too have literally tried everything, I started with the sonic sound wave stakes and they did nothing. After trying every trap out there the best one we found too was the scissor trap. Last year after I thought I maybe had 2 or 3 moles in my garden I found I had more like 12. We have a pool in the backyard and the pump and filter are rather close to the garden, I will say that when the pump was running mole traffic was down. So vibration helped, it didnt work alone but helped. If you ever get good info on getting rid of squirrels or chipmunks please make a video. I can't seem to keep them out of my strawberries. They not only ate every ripe berry they ate every white one too. All that work for nothing it makes you want to cry. Thanks for the informative videos!

Yup.. here in Rhode Island... sitting in the sun HURTS!! I have sun burn all over everything. That includes a drought with intense UV then monsoons. I am an experienced gardener and I can't seem to grow simple things. Also my tap was is now pure alkaline which is killing things as well. I do as much as I can with rain water. Good post!

The most annoying part is that the garden store vegetable seedlings are all sad and pathetic and they don’t replace them with new ones. I’m not great at seedlings and prefer to buy them if my tries fail

Big zip lock bags in totes should work for this very unorganized gardener. Interesting your county in Ohio has the same green/white address number signs as the Ohio county I'm in.

Just came across your channel and have always used small baling wire or zip ties for tomato training. I just added 50' of velcro tape to my cart. Reusable and easy to use! Subscribed!
