I used to always lose my summer squash to the vine borer, but the past two seasons I haven't had a problem. My secret? I sprinkle radish seeds all around them and let the radish grow and bolt. My best guess is the radish smell keeps them from smelling the squash. I still get the squash bug but not the killing vine borer.

Hello and welcome to come back Jill So much more and all friends Tommy and all Thank you so much to helping me

I have gotten into gardening because I found it peaceful and stress relieving. Sometimes when I watch others show off their pantry, it feels like I am watching a contest to see who can be the best homesteader or gardener and I get a little frustrated. I need to do a better job of keeping my priorities in front of me and not feeling like I need to have my landscaping or veggie garden up to someone else’s standard (especially if they have a whole team or professionals making it look spectacular).

All that to say, we all just need to do what is best for each of us.

I eat luffa when they’re young and tender. cook them with meat or add them into soup. it’s soooo delicious!

Love this Jill! Always important to prune the planting list ;)

I highly recommend the Invincible Tomato from Hoss Tools. It is a paste tomato. I tried it summer of 21 and my garden was neglected. My in-laws both caught covid and I was helping take care of them. Regardless of that my Invincible tomatoes made a huge harvest. That was in southeast Alabama. Very hot and humid climate. The Invincible Tomatoes are disease resistant and held up surprisingly well. Hoss Tools shipping is very quick. I like their company.

We are heading for the worst of times, now you need to plant as much as you can, and yes labour harder. Plant what you eat, and preserve what you plant. Do not place yourself into a position where shoulda coulda woulda places you regretting. No matter how much $ you make between shortages and cost, we all need as much as possible put up and dehydrated, canned, and freeze dried if you are fortunate. Good gardening!

This year I am becoming the Frugal Gardener ! I only feed 2 now, my elder sis and me, and know what grows well in central FL. I have a heart of gratitude for how I have managed to feed us pretty well in these crazy times. Thank you for your sharing.

Bout to start a fantasy draft league for what plants get renewed or cut for the new season.

We live in SC we plant our black eye peas in Fall. Works out a lot better for us. And less bugs

I’m still in the exploratory phase, so trying out a lot of fruits and veggies but my goal is the same as yours - 1) find out what my family truly enjoy, 2) figure out what grows well in my microclimate, then 3) cut down to what is practical, not stressful to grow and we enjoy.

as gardner myself, i relate to how you love working in the garden, i work with more landscape plants with a few vegetables sprinkled in… so I too have to plant what we’ll eat. One year I tried pumpkins, just to try them, and since the landscape was so new it was like a ground cover, but they’re not being planted again….just tomatoes, 4 kinds of basil, and zucchini, always have oregano and thyme. I have only so much space, I tried pumpkins last year…took up too much space…I planted so grandkids could pick out one….I only had 3…🤦‍♀️
I’m new to your channel, this video popped into my feed….I like your style already so will subscribe and watch more of your videos.

Great advice!! One quick note on tomatillos—I use smallish green tomatoes late in the season (when peppers are ripening like crazy) and make all of my recipes that call for tomatillos—no one can tell the difference & it keeps me from losing tomatoes toward the end of the season, we still get our salsa verde and I don’t have to allocate space for tomatillos!

Interesting! Good, sound, logic applied! Well done. I'm reluctantly saying good bye to corn this year. My garden is very remote with woods around and the only human presence is on weekends when I'm there. Raccoons had a field day with my corn 2 of the last 3 years! It's heartbreaking and maddening to lose 240 row feet of beautiful corn to those demons! We're not talking about a couple of problem coons here, we're talking about herds of them! I didn't harvest a single ear last year. Until I retire and get my fence situation set up, and electrified, I'll buy sweet corn.

[leslienichols]

I am with you! This year, no zucchini, summer squash or artichokes ( aphid magnets). Tons of stuff we love- tomatoes, tomatillos ( for salsa verde, pork green chile, pork carnitas etc)sweet peppers. Finally a little room for decorative gourds!

[richardstrahin]

I found your page by accident and I really enjoy it. Keep it up, you are very good at sharing useful information. I am 84 years old and have been gardening since I was 12 - matter of necessity at first but I grew to love it ....

I replaced my pumpkin with butternut squash! Yummmm

I have a written garden plan, to keep me on task. I am able to research companion planting in the winter, arrange my garden accordingly, and also plan for seasonal harvesting and storage, such as dehydrating, powdering certain crops, etc. I log the pests, the controls for them. Fertilize on a prepared schedule. My wife is a picky eater, so I plant what she will eat, but I also plant for friends who can’t have a garden. Putting in a small greenhouse this winter, so I can start before the last frost, as well as start a couple containers for a friend who gardens on an apartment patio.

I grow our black eye peas on trellises. It saves a ton of space and easier to harvest.
