There’s nothing quite as rewarding as harvesting your own homegrown fruits and vegetables. But how can you tell when they’re perfectly ripe?

What about sweet potatoes?
Hi Very interesting. But how can you tell when beets and carrots are ready, since the vegetable is under ground? Thanks!
Your videos are very interesting. Nothing against the presenter, but I could understand better if he spoke American English. Is there no one in the USA who can do these videos? Maybe not.
It was a wonderful video, but this is my first year growing lemons and limes…It seems the lemons have been on the small tree forever, and are still green…I wonder if my lemons will ever turn yellow?
This year I am trying different things. Okra, Japanese Cucumbers very high yield. Watermelon honeydew loofah sponges and sweet potatoes long with the norm onions tomatoes peppers etc. I planted a few Jujube trees and Paw paws Nice video. Thank you
This year is our first real vegetable garden. Before was small patch stuff, a couple tomatoes, basil and strawberries. Most pleased with artichokes, which I thought would take at least a year to mature before harvest. We harvested this summer after planting this spring! We are in Idaho, high desert country, but with plenty of canal water for irrigating. Beets did fantastic and they were started from seed. Thanks to your videos I learned that I am picking tomatillos too early.
Followed the square foot method off the app. My question is when do I know califlower is ready to pick
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!! I am a relatively new gardener and I have found this video to be a god-send. Thank you again!
This is our first "real" garden. Love all the tips and videos! Have had tons of luck with everything except my blue lake beans. Have been canning and pickling as fast as my husband eats them!
Thanks for the great tips ! !
Thank you, so much, for your reply…How silly of me, not realizing it is the winter time when I see my neighbors lime trees producing…As you say, because the tree is young, the fruit may not ripen this year…I suspect the tree is about two years old…I'm thinking about cutting off the lemons, because they are weighing down the small branches of the tree…I'm having trouble doing this 'though, even 'though I'm sure it will be better for the tree…
Hey there! I'm wondering why my cucumber plant only has one cucumber on it?
I've got cantaloupe in my community pantry garden at work. How do I know when to pick that?
Thanks for the videos! They're just the right amount of information for my gardening brain at one sitting, as I also have other programs I have to concentrate on.
We moved this summer and one of the trees in our new home has pears on it. How can I tell when to pick and when to eat them?
Great video! Thanks for all the great tips!
pls upload difference between physiological maturity and harvestable maturity.
This is my first year. I'm starting with russet potatoes, carrots, onions & different herbs. Your videos have been very helpful, thank you!!!
Since Britain buys much veg from abroad how long would lets say typical cucumber, carrots last from being picked out of a garden since I assume it takes 2 days minimum for postage from lets say Italy or Israel or Mexico to get to Britain then into shops with the typical 3 day before going off does this mean if you have your own garden growing plants veg could last 7-10 days before starting to go off?
I' ve started my growing experience with Mint herb I will be making alot of herbs for tea as it is super healing and great to get rid of sugar the more you have in mind HEALTHY HERBAL TEA with no sugar the better it is to get off sugar, people typically have sugar in coffee or average normal tea but if you have it in mind this is HERBAL TEA home grown you are less likely to have sugar also you can have smoothies with them there for no one really uses sugar in smothies just honey why not use Manuka honey which is anti bacterial or biotic as well i think
We are kindergarten and we planted, broccoli, carrots, green onions, and green beans!
Great Vid thanks. How do you tell when apple cucumbers are ripe?
Do you happen to also be the narrator for Peppa Pig?
wowoow
Thank you!! This was exactly what I needed
I missed harvesting our broccoli (my first time planting it, and only second year gardening,) so now the florets have grown out of a tight formation. Is there a way to harvest seeds from them at this point so I can try again next year? Thanks for all the great videos!!!
That was great, im growing for the first time, carrots onions and tomatoes, just wasn't sure how you know when to pick the carrots and onions
First garden this year. I totally winged it. I should not have. I labeled nothing. I figure it will tell me what it is. But I thought I was growing all kinds of stuff until I google imagine searched the plant that made its way all through my garden. It’s marshmallow plant. I don’t know why it’s even there. I just want to eat one thing I grew out of this and the next time I will be way more prepared.
What about melons and watermelons?
