Good job
Thanks Ben for another wonderful and informative video. So interesting to see you working away and hearing you share your garden knowledge. Cheers!
What zone are you in?
I want to build a greenhouse this summer so that I can start plants earlier in Canadian spring. Will I have to use a space heater during frost nights?
Should all the windows be able to open?
Is there any plants that you keep in the greenhouse all year long?
I can’t wait till the harvesting starts it’s the best part and most of the work!!
You plant your tomatoes outside once the risk of frost is over? You don't wait until you have a lowest outside temperature of around 10 C outside during the nights?
I must be in a different zone. 4 degrees here, minus 7 with windchill. my garden is inside my patio door for a while. as soon a the sun crosses the line I will plant and cover at night in frost warnings.
Chiming in from western New York. 1/2 mile south of Lake Ontario. I have most of my 200 sq ft vegetable garden in. Now encroaching into my wife’s flower/ perimeter garden. Adding companion plants , marigolds, carrots, bunching onions. Thanks for the additional idea of dill Really appreciate your to the point videos and your enthusiasm
Ben, your positivity and wisdom are such a joy! I would love to be out in the garden with you, rain or shine <3
I use a giant dog crate as a temporary greenhouse, covered in the plastic that covered my freezer, when i bought it…. ! I can fold it up and put it away once i've planted out all my baby plants. I have very limited space to grow plants….south facing walled terraced house yard. You would not believe how much food i can fit in…all in containers…forget brassicas, though…
Gotta give this a try
12 in (30 cm) snow on May 21, now 85-95F ( 30-35C). Planting like crazy, hoping no early frost!
Please tell my wife we need more plantings! She doesnt like my pallet plantings in our garden. Theyre ugly she says. Dont mind eating the produce tho.
Everything grows great except my companion flowers, like wtf. Talk about slow runners
Love yoiur informative video guides to growing veg. I'm curious as to which part of the country you live in as you mention the colder climate? We've been blessed with courgettes for the last couple of weeks here in Wiltshire
my sunday morning viewing, even the wife is getting into this and my new plot. but where can i pay Ben for his advice services to come and view my plot in North Kent…? 😉
Always good info! Thank you
Sadly I have Texas Bermuda grass and don’t DARE use gras clippings as mulch. But we have pecan farms all around us, so I’m going to avail myself of a few loads of it.
Having trouble with my yellow squash. Do they need alot of sun. Mine are getting 4 or 5 hours but plants are still small after 6 weeks. Great show.

I love to watch passion ❤ you are amazing Ben xxx
I started gardening aged 6 with my gran 55 years ago. We had pots , barrels and planters.
to this day I still plant grans plants in pots , barrels and planters. All my other veg goes into raised beds Ala square foot gardening.
Unbelievable how much food can be grown in such a small area.
Fruit ….. columnar fruit trees. lift up one patio flag and plant 4 fruit trees. mini orchard for any tiny garden.
even at my age, new root stocks or varieties of veg often surprise me.
I am just loving all your videos. Having a binge while I wait for planting season.
Hi Ben. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video! I live in a relatively hot climate in the south of USA. Do you have any tips for keeping nasturtiums alive? Thanks.
