This One Is For ALL Of The Naysayers!

In this video, I take you on a spring garden tour of my yard, garden and food forest and show you the incredible things I'm growing that the naysayers told me I couldn't grow in ground in North Carolina! Despite freezing cold winters and hot, humid summers with monsoon rainfall, these plants are thriving. This one is for all the naysayers that told me I couldn't do it!

I give you a garden update on all the special fruits and vegetables I'm growing and explain how I've been successful at growing things where many others have failed. The key is in creating microclimates that are warmer in winter and cooler in summer. I break it down for you in the video and in the links below.

I use the following products* to grow fruits and vegetables in my garden:

Application of human ingenuity, honest assessment of failures, and determination to succeed separate the average gardeners from the fantastic gardeners! Well done, MG - proud of you for proving naysayers wrong! ❤

[janeodom]

I am NOT a naysayer! I am a home gardener frustrated with gardening failures because of unbelievably hot and humid Texas summers and the 1-2 days in February that ice everything over. The info and guidance from your channel has allowed me to turn my backyard into a food paradise! Keep up the great work!

The brick holds the heat & keeps them warm. George Washington loved figs and wanted to have them at every house. He wrote in a journal that he was able to grow a fig tree as far north as Winchester, VA, if they were planted on the south side of a red brick wall.

Naysayers make you more determined to prove them wrong. Great Job. Awesome Content

[priscillamuriel]

I live in Florida and have applied some of your strategies. I have a spring/summer garden in between two ponds in my backyard. The pond keeps the plants cool. I had a friend who laughed at me and said it wouldn’t work but when I showed him last spring everything was so beautiful and abundant. I say try it anyway.

[hdwoodshop]

Dude, you’re almost at 700k subscribers. Glad I’m on board. Great ideas. Thx

[leviduve]

Things like this take a lot of determination. It's easy to see why some doubt. Anyway, great video and congratulations on the successes of the atypically grown trees!

[SusanHilesCreates]

Your garden is amazing! You have such a knack for figuring things out. It’s like when someone says ‘no’ it’s actually a challenge for you. 😆 Good for you! 👍🏻

[patrickackerman]

Me and my brother and girlfriend all love your channel! One of the most comprehensive gardening channels in existence! Keep it up 👍

[chubzeee]

Please do a video on the surround WP spray. How to mix and apply. Timetable, etc. your videos are very informational and to the point. Thank you.

[MrGrowit]

A busy mind with busy hands, adapting and overcoming obstacles while applying wisdom throughout the process of learning. Hard work, but having fun all along the way. Regardless of your genetics, you are adding years to your life through gardening, not only from the reaping and harvesting rewards, but because you freely share your knowledge gained with others. Thanks for what you do!

[desertflower]

Congratulations on persevering! I’m so impressed and happy for you!

[claustelmach]

Thanks to you I was able to save my aloe Vera here in Houston Texas last winter by using incandescent lights, they were strong and beautiful after freezing nights. Thanks you millennial gardener!!

[maggiemirenda]

Wow the attention to detail in your garden is wonderful!

[donhorak]

[conniegonzalez]

I'm 73 and just started gardening a couple years ago. I went to grow bags mainly because of all the shade . A lot of trees in my yard. Take care of the hound always like seeing the adventures with Dale . You and JP my go to channels .Thanks bro

[carolinapacheco]

[Patricia-vz]

Great video. You definitely showed that the “naysayers” were wrong. Glad you proved them wrong as this inspires others not to accept the naysayers’ negatives and find a way to make your dream garden happen.
