Walking the beam ■ before long I will not be supposed if your paths are planted, and you walk the wood; the rock cropping will be a real hike!

Hello Greg. Beautiful! ☺️ 👍🏼Thank God your place is now safe. I do always appreciate the content, thank you.😉

Hi, Greg! I always love your garden tours. There's lots of good information in them. I'm so glad the fires didn't affect your forest and that you and your family are safe.

We grow mint in 3 medium sized pots that produce enough mint for our mint tea year round. Even honey sweetened iced tea! We harvest the whole pot once it gets 8" inches tall 3 times in the season. It never has a chance to spread outside the pot. Love it!

Im happy with my NS garden this spring. The demise of the 45+ year old spruce tree has admitted much more sunlight into my back yard, and I’m enjoying the result. I’ve finished my winter-sown crop of spring greens and the radishes I sowed later. I’m getting a good crop of spinach and kale sown under cover. Carrots, parsnips, lettuce, beets, second arugula, endive, are up. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and summer squash transplants are now in. Potatoes are thriving. My first beans are germinating. Life is good.

It's looking really great! I'm glad you have had lots of rain. BTW I put my mint right in the pond. It lives in the water and kind of makes it's own little island out of it's root mass. It'll survive being submerged, no problem!

thx for posting....love your garden and your gardner's attitude...

Beautiful garden !
Love your covering apparatuses Great idea on the folding a-frame one!
Yeah peppers always start flowering on me too now mater how I treat them; light cycle, start date, container size helps a bit but even in 1gal. Pot they still do as they please haha-I’ve given in…😌
I know honey berries sneak up on ya and then they are gone.

Thanks for the video Greg! Your garden, as usual, is looking awesome!
Harvesting garlic scapes this week here is SW Ontario.
The birds this year have been going after worms and bugs with a vegence and blowing my mulch apart like crazy...every morning my first chore is to tidy up and uncover seedlings! But I would rather have them than not!
Have a great day and glad to see the fire risk is diminished for you!

My brussel sprouts that i startred indoors are a very good size, the broccoli i bought as a seedling and they seem to have stalled out ive never really had good luck with broccoli.

My squash started to sprout a week ago and then something started to eat them even after i put up an electric fence. I think i came up with a great solution. Use weeds as mulch around the seedling and it seems to camouflage the plants so nothing bothers them.

Thank you so much for this channel .. i moved here 2 years ago and im still getting used to the weather patterns here . But your dandilion trick was amazing !!

[jrboudreau]

Pool noodles used like the barrels under a floating dock would probably work for your floating mint garden. Love your channel!! Been watching for years. Shoutout from Cape Breton✌️

[PoisonBreaker]

I have similar flea beetle pressure. my solution is plant sacraficial radishes nearby as the beetles really love radishes then the other plants you want get a chance to get going. some DE works if you have a dry stretch of weather.

[lindasands]

If birds get a chance, they ruin my garden. What I do after mulching, is put bird netting on the ground, & cut holes for the plants. It works, but obviously I can only do this with transplants, not direct sowing.

Your garden is inspiring Greg! Makes me itching to plant. Trouble is, it's te start of winter here, with frosts every morning.
I have got quite a lot growing already. Mostly brassicas, but also carrots, celery, chard, beetroot, & different onions.

Can you grow corn where you are?
I have a short growing season here. Some success with corn, but not brilliant

[booswalia]

Glad to hear you weren't in the fire area. No doubt it is a worry living in the woods. Thank goodness for the rains.
I would be tempted to run that water so it runs out and makes a sound, and aerates the pond a bit. Although it might draw in more wildlife.

[christelfleet]

The garden is looking good, lots to look forward to this summer. I use an aquarium air pump and tubing that runs to a deep part of the pond. The air bubbles keep the water moving. In the winter the pond never freezes completely over.

[GettingThereGreenGTG]

I love your videos, been following you for awhile. I used to live in NS but now I'm in Ontario.
I just used your vesey code to get free shipping. THANK YOU!

Those eggplant seedlings look great! So glad your neighborhood survived the fires. I believe I can hear the air quality in your voice. Ever since Alberta started burning about a month ago, the sunrise here in Ontario has been surreally beautiful more days that not. Normally the sun is blinding white by the time it is above my neighbor's roofline, 8am or so, but the day after Quebec caught fire, it remained a gentle orange-yellow ball until passing behind the trees at 10~11 (solar noon is ~130pm here).

Last year I grew some carrots in a pot. Got them out when they were about 15 cm tall. The birds went to town on the greens...

[laurenjacobsen]

I have trouble with the birds kicking the mulch around, it definitely smothers tiny seedlings! I love the birds though, even if they cause a bit more work.
