Full Garden Tour - Late May 2023

It's late May and in this video I'm giving you a full garden tour. All of the gardens and how they're coming along. You guys asked me to do a monthly full tour of the garden so it's been a month from the last one... a lot has changed!

MENTIONED VIDEOS

Hey Guys, I’m Brian from Next Level Gardening

Welcome to our online community! A place to be educated, inspired and hopefully entertained at the same time! A place where you can learn to grow your own food and become a better organic gardener. At the same time, a place to grow the beauty around you and stretch that imagination (that sometimes lies dormant, deep inside) through gardening.

I’m so glad you’re here!

Alert! Alert! We have thatch!! For not living there, I'm way to excited about the roof. Great job

[susanramsey]

Oh that chimney! Those tiles worked great!!

[tanyat]

"When you spoon your onion..." before you even finished your statement, my brain went, "wow, the forever romantic." 😂 Hello, my name is Tanya and I am silly. I love and appreciate all the garden wisdom that you share with us. I am so impressed at all the skills you have. Holy cannoli, the garden, stone work, you're building a house, video and editing.... I'm inspired. Great job, friend.

How many of us said "thatch!" (excitedly) before Brian pointed to the roof? 🙋‍♀️😄
Where do we get microclover seed?

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to plant a shrub or tree and then decide to remove it for something else. I offered my neighbor what I was removing and plant stuff in their yard (I live on a very small 50' x 150' plot) when I decide to do it.

So excited to see the thatch! I straight up gasped and clapped :D

Gary Pilarchik has a new video out about making a snail/slug trap with 2 terracotta pots, pretty interesting! Yeah, that garlic won't store well. At least you can preserve it! You can peal and chop it and put spoonfuls on a cookie sheet to freeze, then toss in a freezer ziplock. You may need to add a few drops of water before freezing to hold them together (unless you used a food processor, which will release some liquid.) Keeps the flavor really well.The thatch looks so nice.💕

Love the thatch & the 'brickwork' on the chimney. Looking fab! Like the real deal😂😊

[Calmedseas]

👏👏👏👏👏 Well done, Brian!! That thatch roof looks fabulous!! I am glad you have moved past the intimidation that you have done it, you got this!! I don't know if I conveyed that I know that when you set out to do something you've never done, but you've seen it done, or have a general idea of how it's done, and you are confident you can do there is still that apprehension of intimidation until you actually push up your sleeves and dive in the first time. Now that you have crossed that threshold, the rest will move your confidence then you wonder why you waited so long to start!! Lol. That's how it works for me, anyway. You are doing great on look forward to seeing it finished. You are an will make it look good...I have seen your work!! 😉

im zone 5b in the Denver Area. our rule is after mothers day. I planted tomatoes 2nd week of May just before mothers day.

in our colorado group. everyone is still pensive about planting.

DENVER GARDENERS. Plant your nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, sweet potatoes, eggplant).

Brian your artichokes look amazing. keep up the great work. I can only aspire to have a garden as BIG as yours

[Mammafly]

I have a suggestion in the tropical garden area walkways. I’d keep them 3-4 feet wide. That way you can walk along with someone next to you.

I planted my tomato plants on Easter. They were growing fast and developing flower buds and then a deer came and ate two of them down to one limb with a few leaves left on it.

[laurie]

Love Blue Jays. Raised one with my parakeet. They were great friends and mischievous together

[debbies]

Your garden and cottage are so beautiful. I ring my onions here in the NC Piedmont. I learned from Deep South Homestead and Old Alabama Gardener. It makes a difference here for sure.

[pjsviking]

Hey, way to go Brian!! Thatching rock on!!

[caterjunes]

THATCH!!! It looks amazing! I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I can't wait to see the finished cottage with the garden in full bloom! It's wonderful seeing your vision taking shape.
Thanks also for the tour -- I learn so much and get so many ideas from your process and experiments. Your approach to gardening, including design and land management, resonates deeply with me, and no doubt inspires many others as well.

Maine here.. not planting out tomatoes and peppers until this coming weekend. Yesterday is was almost 90° but this week we have a few nights with lows to 40°! 🤦🏼‍♀️ it may not kill them, but it won’t be good for them. My seedlings are WAY past ready to go in the ground!

[Muffy.from-Oz]

Well done Brain. More power to your arm. Blessings to you and yours, Muffy from Oz.

Hallelujah the thatch looks great and the wall and steps too. With your carrots have you tried sowing the seeds, watering them and then covering them with a plank of wood? It keeps the sow damp even on a hot day. As soon as a bit of green appears you can remove the plank. On the onions, I do ease the soil away from the bulbs as they grow as we have heavy clay soil. It does seem to help

[tammyhoushour]

Love that English cottage...also I have friend's who have a pond and they get their house hold water from it . Work's great.
