Thank you for the information
What do you use to protect the leaves of your watermelon?
Nice looking soil … Rich
Always amazing content
Have a great evening
Being in a similar zone, it's encouraging to know there's still time to try some summer planting. I had a late start this year and I thought I would have to wait until it's time to start the fall garden. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress of the winter wheat, too. Thanks for sharing!
Do you have enough time to get mature ears of corn?
Thanks for the info shared in your video! Be well.
I have a strip in my garden about 3 ft wide and about 30 ft long. I bought some white clover,red clover and buckwheat seed. I need to start enriching my soil. I was wanting to plant those seeds in this spot in an attempt to build my soil. However, I still want to plant some crop in there as well. After the harvest I thot I would cut the clover down with the hedgers, just let it lay there and break down. Does this sound ok to you? I guess another way to put it is, " Can you start a cover crop anytime during the garden season ? Hope you can make sense of my idea ! Haha!
How does the seeder space your seeds? Is there a setting you didn't show?
North west montana here. Weather has been so terrible that without a greenhouse it was hopeless! Most perennials went to seed last month and the berries did not even blossom!! Greenhouse next year!. Its been horrid. Now it's either in the 90s or low 60s every few days ssoo I'm skipping a fall garden as well!
Thanks, Mark. This year everything is at least 2 weeks behind. Even under cover. Cold nights, clouds, wind, aarrgghh. I harvested some of the garlic and so far it is really good. Yesterday, got 2 strawberries, first this year. Just got to keep going and be thankful for what we get. Rock on.
You guys got lots of water and cool temperatures. Here in NC Ive been getting high temperatures since our short almost nonexistent Spring. Ive been watering since May. Good luck.
So glad to see you're finally up and growing. Best wishes for the rest of your season.
Hi Mark, The summer planted winter rye did not vernalize (get a cold exposure) so they won’t set seed. So will the rye die by autumn or will it live to spring?
good luck – we had 100 + heat and no rain , so garden not to good
A little off topic, any thoughts on pest control, specifically Japanese Beetles? They have destroyed my cherry trees and peaches.
I’m in CO at 6000 feet. Sugar snap peas, potatoes and chili peppers are going gangbusters. Tomatoes and onions are so-so. Everything else is a bust. Nothing germinated outdoors despite 100% success in germ tests. Zero cucumbers, limited winter squash and pumpkins. Summer squash may be next to nothing and who can’t grow zucchini?!?! Our 8 inches snow May 21 didn’t help but even things planted after that have been bad. VERY HUMBLING. Worst garden I’ve had my whole life and I was born in the 50s!
Thanks Mark…another good video on how to plan your garden.
Thanks Mark great video of nature at its best. Very inspiring.
very interesting; looking forward to seeing how he squash and winter rye do together.
Hi Mark, weeds are also roots in the ground, what makes a cover crop superior to weeds?
Hey Mark. Do you happen to know what insect left their eggs on your pumpkin leaves. I have the same eggs on mine and I don't know if its a big issue or maybe it's a beneficial one. Great videos I have structured my garden using your guidance and it looks great really flourishing
The storms this year have been extreme. I hope it's just a fluke and not a indication of what the future holds for us.
It will be interesting to see how the crops do with the winter rye in the mix.
Great information, thank you for sharing.
YOU'LL LOVE THIS LINK ……… https://phys.org/news/2019-07-drought-stress-microbes-roots.html THANKS…. BEST WISHES
Looking forward to seeing how things turn out with the Winter Rye.
Just subbed! Thank you! QUESTION: whe you sow yuor winter rye, or any cover crop for that matter, are you just using a seeder that throws it around? and then what? you just water it back into the soil or do you use some kind of method that will lightly cover those cover crop seeds with soil?
watermelons and sweetcorn planting in early/mid july? gosh i always thought you planted them in spring, excited to see the end result
when im done with my garden project i think im gonna send you a pic or two aswell 😀 your method sure inspired me and probably many others aswell, thank you for that
Hi Mark, good work & great information for growing food nature's way !
Could you please comment ? :
What is the history of the soil in the video as far as cover crops/ roto-tilling/any mechanical work etc.
before roto-tilling shown in the video ?
One thing you never commented on but which I find interesting is that you drive over/walk on the
soil (which I fully understand because of the size of operation etc. but it somehow rang a bell
when I compare other no till gardens).
Would it work to just throw the cover crop seed (winter rye/crimson clover) on the soil without any disturbance of the soil ?
I ask because I was just given use of a small piece of land, it is 18/12/2020 and the ground
was worked with a large tractor beforehand and is now quite wet and I'm trying desperately to
at least get an initial start on cover cropping as I will be going "no till" and doing everything by hand ?
