Onions and scallions are way way to expensive and I think you should show us how to grow them too
Raspberries grow very well when planted at the edge of a wood line…very well. Just make sure they get enough light.
Did some leeks and onions this year alongside all the crops you mentioned. Had the garden later this year, but stil saving up to almost €100 this year and sold some of the left over little seedlings to cover the costs of my garden. It seriously adds up in a good way. And it tastes much better. Thanks for your advice.
Ben , your videos are wonderful! You make gardening so easy ! How do I winter over my herb garden in a pot ? I live in a cold climate , with no greenhouse, and very little in the way of sunny rooms .
Yum-yum-yum! Can I come live there and help you eat these harvests?
✋️ Whoa! Wait a dog gone minute! He didn't say anything about hamburger bushes or French fry trees! No rows of blueberry muffins? Feed me Seymour! Lol! Thanks for the video, even if it is about bunny's food! Subscribed anyways, la de da!
Good morning the last time we chat on onion. I wasn't satisfied with planting one onion and harvest one. I had already planted one but when I checked it out am haven about 5 bulbs of onion to harvest
About potatoes, is the mounding only to prevent green potatoes or does it increase the crop, if so how?
How do you grind the corn, will be pretty hard. Garlic powder is a good idea. Does it taste garlicky as much?
Any tips for those of us with too many rodents to grow edible greens? While my neighbors were re-building monster homes on both sides of me, all the neighborhood rodents took refuge in my lush organic garden, and began eating anything edible, including wild miners' lettuce and the marigold seedlings I had just planted! I've tried to grow dandelion greens and collards, and they eat the tiny leaves before the plant can establish. I know a cage would be too much trouble for me to open and close properly, so I'm just growing herbs and flowers and succulents, to have something in the raised beds I built in 2020. We have no predator birds in the suburbs (would need barn owls to eat the big rats and they won't nest here), and I don't want cat poop in my garden, so no feral cats. Poison is definitely OUT of the question. I am at a loss what to do! Love your inspiring videos!
Do you happen make use of the garlic in Vampire /demon hunting,haha?.
Lovely suggestions. I’d like to grow nuts, I love almonds, wonder if it would be successful in SW England?
Jerusalem artichokes are a great perennial vegetable. They're easy to grow, they'll reproduce from even the smallest tuber (or part of a tuber), they can be eaten raw, or cooked (we love to make them into crisps). Low glycemic index and high inulin make them great for helping regulate blood sugar. They do tend to make one gassy (we call them "fartichokes"), but a sprinkle of Bean-O before eating usually takes care of that.
How do your protect your redcurrants and other berries from the birds?
I tried something new this past summer. I bought a food dryer and an Instant Pot. I had a good crop of summer squash (in my case, tromboncino squash and a Korean round squash, both space-saving climbing squash varieties. I sliced them and dried them. A huge amount of squash turned into 10 quart sized jars of dried squash pieces. Now in winter I’m using the squash along with my tree collards in the instant pot with stew beef chunks for beef stew. The dried squash pieces have a mushroom-like awesome texture in the finished dish. Yum!
Thank you. Great information and no silly stuff. I would be interested in the overall plan of your garden area. Also, raised beds are not possible for me, and the garden space is just flat. The two main problems in the garden are: this was formerly farmland so there is no end to problems with grasses and weeds; and because it was farmland, there are many deer. They have eaten the beans, the greens, and nibbled and dislodged many plants.
I love peas, from the sprouts to snow peas, they're hard to beat! Another easy vege to grow is eggplant.
I just found this channel, but I have to say I absolutely love this man! He is very knowledgeable and kind, his videos are so uplifting ❤️
Hi, first let me say how much I really appreciate your video's I am hooked for sure but what I want to ask is what type of potting soil should I use since I'll be growing my vegetables in an enclosed sunroom, for my flowers I use vigoro and they grow like mad, but is that also good for vegetables, thanks in advance Oh! thanks for the electric toothbrush method of pollinating.
Is leaving a potato to sprout the same as bought chitted?
In your app you could add a feature that shows the direction of the sun and maybe trees to show where shade may fall.
Quem dera ter espaço para isso tudo
The vegetable which costs an absolute fortune to buy but is a doddle to grow and crops massively is MANGETOUT. Grow just like peas but remember to succession sow. If you grow the coloured pods you won't miss them when picking either.
I've just come across your videos and am thrilled with the info. You cover everything I need to know. One question I will ask is how do you stop slugs and snails. I grew spinach and cabbage last yr, they were doing so well then I went out and they had been demolished! My containers were on a pebbled path. Thank you
Carrots, beets great for canning
I love the beds you make. I love how and what you suggest to fill and maintain them. I was wondering if you could include some container growing suggestions and also give us an idea of how much yield you will get per square meter ?
thanks so much Ben. look forward to more videos
What about Broccoli, Ben?
Thanks for your helpful videos, where do you get all your woodchip for your paths from? X
Spinach is great to grow and so much better tasting than those bags at the store. Edamame is a fun treat as well.
