How I Plan My Spring Garden | Layout and Timing

Lets take my a walk through my garden and discuss the upcoming spring garden plan! Most of my garden is full but I have to start thinking about where all my spring vegetables are going to go. Here I discuss timing, light, size, and layout of my upcoming garden and how I think about it all.

Hey Jacques you gave me advice on planting my first fruit tree in clay soil, just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to write me back! Much appreciated

"OUR favorite chard."

Nice save.

I can't hear "fava beans" without hearing a line from a certain movie from the 90's. That being said, great job, Jacques. Love the love for your garden!

When he say let’s get into the actual garden and I’m like dude I have a teeny area that’s an epic space.

You should make a recipe book. I never know what to do with all my produce.

I like it when you just grab a camera and take us for a walk and talk through the garden. It feels more real than something too planned out or scripted. You speak well off the cuff, so win-win! When you said you put tomatoes in the shorter raised bed, I see why, but funny thing, I just planted out 20 tomato plants we grew from Botanical Interests seed in the house this winter and because they are supposed to have deeper roots than most of the other things in my garden, I have them in 5 different tall Birdies beds. Reaching the top fruits on my indeterminate varies might be tough. I saw this video one day too late. Haha!

There were a lot of paintings of monkeys waving bamboo sticks in the gallery.

I like the causal videos like this. They are very inspiring. We will finally have a yard to garden with this year and videos like this one give me so much excitement for this season.

[ClaireInTheAire]

I love this style of video, it's great to see you walk through your choices and weigh your options and ideas. It feels natural, like you invited us along to look at your garden!

A PhD class - this rookie appreciates what an expert can do! 👍

[xEppyx]

I love how busy the garden is even through winter. Hope you have a great growing season this year!

Those cabbages are absolutely beautiful!! Here in Colorado, I'm still in the early stages of seeding/seedlings but my Sunday morning views of your garden keeps me motivated and inspired. Thanks for great content!

I would cry if I found out my asparagus bed stopped producing for some unknown reason. Such a long time commitment to get going. So sad to see and glad to see you taking it so well! Those grubs are the worst and I also have major issues with them here in San Diego. Wishing the best harvest season for all as we come into Spring.

This is only my second year gardening but I’ve got kale, broccolini, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and verbena seedlings going ❤ about to start cold stratifying some milkweed and getting some cucumber seeds going.

[Oltoir]

looked like a carpenter bee to me! Thank you for giving her a meal!

[lynnrector]

Hey Jacque, you sure do have a fantastic garden. A tip I learned from Liz Zorab on harvesting carrots. Push the carrot down first before trying to pull it out. I have clay soil too and it has been a game changer. Works great unless it is a really long carrot. Give it a try.

[BergenholtzChannel]

This was the most helpful garden tour I have ever watched!

I like to dry and keep all of my sunflower heads and put them out periodically for the birds, especially when I start planting stuff and making easy targets for wildlife.

My peppers are now in greenstalks. My son loves to grow a ton of variety and his pepper garden was taking over all my garden space. So now we have 2 lovely towers and the only ones that go in ground are the super tall ones.
