A good warm weather spinach is New Zealand Spinach. It can thrives in the summer heat, 35.5C, 96F doesn't phase it a bit. It is also drought tolerant. It will grow, and produce until frost. The only con is it needs frequent pruning to keep it from taking over the garden. Both flavor and texture is good.

Low maintenance gardening is like having a self-cleaning house – it's every homeowner's dream! Imagine plants that behave like well-trained pets: they stay within their borders, don't demand constant attention, and somehow manage to look fabulous all year round. It's the plant equivalent of having a robot vacuum, but for your garden. And the best part? You can claim all the credit for your garden's beauty while secretly knowing that nature is doing most of the work! 🌿✨

Always enjoy your videos & appreciate your honesty in trial & error. My mother told me long ago that T& E is what makes a good gardener. Glad your neighbor is contributing, perhaps he gets a gooseberry pudding 😁. Thanks again Ben, the garden looks marvelous. My garden is marvelous too, I only wish I’d planted more. Tomatoes, red, white & sweet potatoes, banana peppers, sweet peas, pole beans ❤, carrots, zucchini, cucumbers & various herbs, marigolds & wild flowers all just hardy & happy. Thank you for helping me!! Will be my 1st winter garden this year, I’ll be watching your videos for that.

Watching your video reminds me of my parents' garden, a small garden but full of necessary vegetables for the whole family's daily meals. It's fun, economical and special. Extremely clean and safe. Hope you have more videos like this. Growing vegetables and watching them grow every day is wonderful, isn't it?

The joy, kindness, and positivity in your video comments is a testament to the wonderful work you are doing. Thank you for sharing and producing such lovely and informative content.

Garden lime dusting fish heads will help. Also, if you have a fire pit or burn wood on your property wood ash and biochar (even just charcoal) will do wonders—cake it all over the fish head before bury. Use an auger bit on a drill and bury fish at least 1ft/30cm—use well-rotted compost on top of that to bring planting hole to proper depth for transplant and that will drastically help with animals digging up fish heads. I’ve also found laying physical barrier down around base of plant at soil surface but under mulch layer, like a hardware cloth skirt keeps animals from scratch digging to fish.

Keep up the amazing work. Your efforts are making a lot of positive changes in our shared planet.

Wow! You've done so many great things to minimize effort and maximize production. Congratulations on a banner year, despite the drought. Thank you for sharing your hard work and beautiful garden!

[marchosiasu]

I started this year by watching your videos, despite having hope I was almost sure it was gonna be my 2 year of zero harvest and dying plants in my raised beds. Thanks to your knowledge however I have just harvested my first snap peas, green beans, cucumbers and radishes. Still waiting for my tomatoes and kale to be ready : ) Amazing channel and great video as always

[thesodathief]

this channel is massively usefull, and incredibly professionally recorded and such! Keep up the great work

[debkincaid]

I learn so much from you every time I pop in to see what you're up to. Sometimes, I get key info when you are just making a passing comment! When it's not even the focus of the video. Thanks for all you share with us struggling gardeners. Your little pep talks are invaluable as well. All the best ~

Took your tip about growing potatoes in pots and tried it with 5 seed potatoes in 2 largish pots. Harvested a couple of days ago, and got a large number of really nice potatoes. It worked! I just kept filling up the pots with compost, until I got to the top, and watering when dry and voila! Certainly a lot easier to harvest, and also sure to get ALL the potatoes this way, as well.
