When you have a really cool dog as a sidekick… Life is good.

I just harvested 17 lbs of potatoes and immediately put in 40 more bush beans in their place. 😊

I missed harvesting some carrots and found them under the mulch in January in Texas. Those carrots could qualify as candy. Best carrots I ever had. My cat even ate a little.

I direct sowed pumpkin, a few zuch, and a watermelon. Man they sprouted so fast in the 95 degree heat and loved the full sun no shade.

I trim the pointed tip of squash seeds which speeds up germination

[bhalliwell]

About the parsley and germination.... Once upon a time, I direct sowed parsley in my food garden without realizing (gotta wonder about that!) that the garden hose which was nearby was running very, very slowly but it was a flow and not a drip-drip-drip.
And since I didn't need to use the hose for anything for three or four days, and didn't realize, either, that the spigot was open, that soil where the parsley had been sown stayed very moist for those three or four days, and it popped right up!
Now I'm thinking that probably that trick of covering carrot seeds with a board would work with direct-sown parsley seeds, too, and as my garden could use a late-ish sowing of parsley, both flat leaf and moss-curled, I'll give that a try. The worst that could happen is that nothing happens.
Oh, and if anybody reading this is afraid that the weight of a board would harm the young parsley seedlings, while I'd still remove that board soon after I saw emerging sprouts, the plant was originally known as a "rock breaker, " although I doubt that's literally true it's pretty determined stuff.

Much gardening love from Northeast Ohio! 😊💚💚💚💚💚😊

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Tuck!

My neighbor has a lot of Swiss chard that she gives me and I love it.

[jadarianharris]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Tuck lives his best life! Thank you James for always encouraging to grow!

You don't have to germinate your basil from the seed every time, just cut the branch from your basil plant and grow it straight to the soil and it will grow fast.

So true about Swiss chard. I grow it in rows super dense, like Lettuce. It's way better when not grown to full size.. it's not kale. So many great varieties from Italy other than Rainbow..it's spinach all summer.

[jenniferrevilla]

I grew Swiss chard for the first time last summer. I love it, especially dehydrsted. I add it to soups, spaghetti sauce, omelettes, nachos, on and on. I dry it, flake it and sprinkle it on everything. I get my greens that way all winterblong. I made English muffin pizza s the other day and sprinkled on the tops. It is invaluable to me now.

Watching your pup eat the garden harvest was so bittersweet for me. My senior dog passed in mid February and he was always there to grab a snack from my garden throughout the summer and fall. I still have two sweet pup babies with me but neither one of them are “into it”. Although the youngest (almost two year old Yorkie poodle) loves to bat a cherry tomato around like a ball, playing hide and seek in the grass with it before finally eating it. Love your channel and love your dog! Take care 😊

[mcgritty]

Perfect timing! I just put a bunch of herbs, leafy greens and peppers into starter trays and was thinking I might be too late but figured I would learn either way 😂
