Many of you have asked me to upload a video of me planning my garden. So I figured why not bring you all along. I am planning this year’s garden and I figured I would also include some tips and pointers as well.

Will have all day sun and for maybe two weeks its over 100 in the summer , what is best to grow
I've been keeping gardening journals since 2004!! Has the weather ever changed!! So each year I rotate vegetables.
Thank you so much for your video's. I have been binge watching them for the past couple of days. I am not a good gardener. Have tried and still try every year. I have a feeling this year will be the year of good gardening. Maybe I will get my gardener grammy. Thanks for giving me some confidence and knowledge that will help me with my gardening goals this year.
onions?
I do the same but on my PC so I can file them and review for next year plus it means I can create a template and just use that each year. Plus I print it out and make any changes on the fly then update on the pc version
ok i don't have very much OCD but that candle and tea is way to close to the paper for my taste. lol left a like! great info.
I love this video. Super helpful for a visual person like me. I have had such a hard time visualizing my garden. Thanks again 🙂
This video is therapy in itself❤
The intro made me think he was going to say "this is what date night looks like in the MIGardener household. Garden planning!"
You are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I wish you lived closer to Georgia!
I always thought you grew more things. I'm curious what fruit trees you grow.
Lmao I like how you bust out an architecture ruler XD
Should the beds be oriented N-S or E-W?
What do you grow before you can get tomatoes and peppers in the ground? Or after you harvested the garlic?
I'm new. Why is putting tomatoes next to each other a recipe for disaster?
Hi Luke, this was very helpful. I'm in Zone 5 – your neighbor in Indiana. I plan to start seedlings this year. The only space I have is in a barn. Its heated to about 55 degrees. Should I get a little green house to put inside the barn and put my tomatoes and peppers in there on heat mats? Will that help increase the temperature for them in the greenhouse?
Thank you,
Lori
Thanks for the tips! I learned a lot!
awesome. counted sun in winter. so now i know to multiply it by 2 for summer. phew! i was stressing about where to put my fruiting plants.
Your glasses are back, very nice although I liked better the other frames.Mature, serious handsome look.
I love your channel for most things, but I think you really need to revisit your internal definition of 'companion planting' when you're saying things like "they're not companions… they just go together, they grow well together". That's what the vast majority of home gardeners mean when they call two plants 'companion plants'. I suspect you read some blog that made it seem like a magical process, but it's not. It's just plants that grow well together, maybe repel pests or attract pollinators that are beneficial to one or the other, or maybe just don't invite harm (e.g. don't attract pests that would harm neighboring plants). They don't need to benefit equally or even mutually. It's just a suggestion for garden organization. It is insulting when you repeatedly act like we home gardeners think that companion planting is a magical process and you must educate us out of our foolishness.
I to have been planning my 2021 garden year 2 for gardening. But before I can place even 1 plant in the garden I have to amend the soil as my tomatoes had np flavor to them. So I was listening to Dave the Good on 1 of his taste testing video and realized it is not my imagination that my tomatoes really had no flavor The store bought one were better. I know I'm wearing the hat of shame by producing such poor tomatoes. but in my defense this was my 1ft year of growing in my new raised beds. So if you could share you garden amendment process that would help me a lot.
I know this may sound like the crazies question but what material is you cup made out of. & where can I get that. They remind me of cups my mom had back in the day.
Thanks for your videos, I really am learning a lot, & can't wait to start planting.
look at the website suncalc.org you can have all the shadow lenght for every moment of the year
I actually thought there was a lot of substance here. Really enjoyed the video.
I really like the style of this video to help visualize how to plan out a garden. As a beginner, I'm not at all familiar with what vegetables grow well next to each other or don't (besides what I've seen so far in your vids). I've been going through your videos trying to take in as much as I can but this definitely helps to see a few things mentioned that can be planted in the same beds. I think the bed layouts is what I'm most confused on still. It seems a lot of vegetables thrive better in their own beds, but if we don't need a whole 48 sq ft. amount of just that one vegetable it's good to see what other things can work in the same bed. I have the space to do some long beds like 8-12 ft but would definitely want to utilize the space with a few different foods if possible. I'm not sure if I've just not found the video that covers this yet.. but I'd be interested to see a video similar to this kind of garden mapping… but for beginners and giving maybe suggestions of foods which would work near to each other or in the same beds.. and what's definitely a no-no.
A great idea for an episode would be for people to send you their space info and you help plan out their garden for them. What do you think?
"Crop rotation and why it's not important to the home gardener" My uncle is proof of how wrong that statement is. He grew beans in the same bed year after year after year. After 4 years he was getting lots and lots of leaves and no beans. Too much nitrogen in the soil. Remedy? Grow leafy greens in that bed and beans in another. Or succession plant winter greens then beans. Rinse and repeat.
