Garden With Us! 🌱 Ideas For Your Home Garden!

Hang out with us while we share what we have learned works, and what doesn't work with home gardening. We learn a little more every year and try to apply it the next year.

Are you growing a garden this year? What do you have planted?

“If anyone has a trick knee, you’ll know”😂😂😂 yep!

If you prune a third of the catnip ( just above a branching stem), it will bush out and grow many more branches. It will be fuller.

Here a vegan from Argentina. This year i started growing veggies on my balcony. Lettuce, chard, radish, basil, mint, radicchio, parsley, arugula, oregano, thyme and lemon verbena. all in 2×1 mt. Proud of myself 🌱

Keep these garden outdoors videos coming❤️

You two are a bunch of cute little gardners. HEHE

Just a little trick for tomatoes, strip the bottom leaves off and plant them deeply because the stems will grow roots from the fuzzy bits.

[andreawalker]

You almost converted me into a backyard gardener (almost 🤪). Can't wait to see how well your garden does.
Also, Crystal's laugh is everything. I never fail to smile when I hear it.

Oh, man, a bale of straw in Tennessee is about $3 or free from my neighbor farmer. 😉 Love that you guys have a little garden each year, and so much fun to see how it goes! Those mixed lettuces look especially nice. At the end of the summer, cover those strawberries with the last of your bale and it’ll protect them during the winter. 🍓 And for next year, you can pinch the bottom set or two of leaves then plant the tomatoes deeper for a stronger plant that won’t get too heavy.

Last year i planted:
Peach, Bush Cherry, Nanking Cherries, Rhubarb, Sea Buckthorn, Goji Berries, Artic Raspberries, Honeyberries (Hascap), Goumi Berries, Yellow Raspberries and a Plum tree! this year a Hazelnut bush, Black Raspberries, Blue Raspberries, Autumn Olives.
Also got a greenhouse for 2 lottery tickets 😅
Hopefully this will fuel upcoming workouts 💪
Good luck growing to all of us! 🎉

The potatoes, if you cut them let them sit for about a week maybe less to heal over (not so raw flesh) the cut part, less disease that way, lay them out so they don't touch each other let them dry then plant! Your property is beautiful! and green BIG trees love it! Thanks for sharing! Tomatoes you can plant those tall ones deeper and bury the stem take off that little leaf on the bottom and deeper bury, all those little hairs on the stems will turn into more roots! Learned that this year! Good luck! :)

Nice garden! some tips -practice chop and drop, as you trim leaves and take down plants leave them directly on top of the soil right where they are. Also never till the soil, and never pull plants out just cut them at the soil level and leave the roots as worm food / future air holes. this will help over time. look up permaculture and no till. Dr. Elaine Ingham and the soil food web. This is important for the long term success with minimal or no inputs. Worm bins are also helpful. It's nice to see your green thumbs developing!

Hi, my husband buries our food scraps in the garden, covers it with shredded newspaper, and then covers it with the dirt. Our soil is AMAZING, and the worms love it!!! I make broth out of the scraps first, but we also put in banana peel and a lot of other scraps in the garden.

[PaulLeMay]

I use leaves instead of straw as it is free. I also rotate crops so that I don’t plant the same thing in the same place year after year.

I enjoy a full garden with two green houses on an in town lot.

Happy gardening everyone. 🌱💚🇨🇦

I have a garden dilemma this year. My home garden is in Arizona but we are spending July and most of August at our vacation home in Utah. So, in AZ I planted things with a short Harvest date: green onions, Swiss chard, arugula, bush beans, jalapeño, spinach. A few plants survived the winter: kale, thyme, parsley, and chive. I planted a few in pots to take to UT with me: more Curley Kale, two types of zucchini, and Thai peppers. And lots of flowers to take up space!

Have you heard of ollas? They are clay pots that you bury in the garden and then fill with water. The plant roots grow around the pot in the ground and you fill the pot with water once or twice a week. It saves tons of water and the plants love it! It's made a huge difference in our garden. We get ours from Dripping Springs Ollas.

I’m a little late to this vid, quick tip on the potted starters, break the roots up just a tad before dropping them in their home it helps them open up and drink a little easier. Cheers from Seattle. ✌️

[laramccallum]

You guys have planted some great things! Hoping your garden produces lots of great foods/herbs for you. I love that you shared this video too. It’s always so great to see foodies sharing their love from root to table!

I'm in NewBrunswick and this year I'm growing grean beans, tomatoes, 3 types of squash, a melon, lettuces, Cuccumbers, herbs, carrots. I'm adding some flowers with my veg too. I'm planting cosmos, calendula, zinnias, sunflowers. In August ill be starting some cool weather stuff to harvest in the fall. My TIP would be grow your Cuccumbers vertically. Same for vining squashes. I use cattle panels with T bars to make a really sturdy trellis. This helps me to get so much more from my small garden.

When I was moving to a healthier diet and lifestyle I started a simple vege garden. I love growing sugar snap peas, mixed green leaves and beets in our Aussie autumn-winter and then move onto sweet corn, beans and sunflowers in spring. There’s nothing quite like an abundance of freshly harvested crops to keep you eating healthy.

You can pick the tomatoes green and bring them inside. They will ripen and are still excellent. I also make green tomato relish - a recipe from my mother in law. My family loves it.
