Watching your tour made me realize what is written "That God is a jealous God". i never quite understood that til recently having my own lil balcony patch and seeing it in your tour. I simply understand now the jealous is where one's attention is spent. If I fail to give attention or spend time in the garden the jealousy is the loss i will experience in a negelectic Garden. The Garden is jealous of my attention to spend time in it😊

I plant marigold flowers in my garden every year. They get very large and the bees love them.....

All I see NATE is the expression of LOVE reflected in your vibrant lush garden. The Maintenance IS KEY! Observations, weeding, prevention. Practicing the 5 principles. Brilliant video NATE!

Okay my friend!!! Love it! Nates da MAN!

Your garden looks so good! I agree, the most productive thing I do in the garden is to walk it and just be there wholly surrounded by the garden to see and feel it.

Great tour, and a good message. The best advice I got about beekeeping was much the same. The difference between a successful beekeeper and an unsuccessful one is to know what is going on in the hives, and then to actually do what you need to do as soon as you see what’s needed.

So reducing problems in the garden is all about the love? Yep, that sounds right to me. Almost every morning I take a look around and see what's happening in the garden. Pull some weeds, and if there's lots to do, make a mental note so I can fix it later. Nice video my man.

Hey Nate, thanks for the video. Have you tried biofumigating your bed that has the symphylans with mustard greens? I can't remember the best variety for that but you basically cut it down and then you immediately till in the greens then cover the bed. Good luck!

I’ve been told that purslane is a great companion plant for pretty much anything. We cut em back when we need and eat them in stir fries! Don’t yank em out! It’s a compact living mulch that’s loaded with water. REFERENCE: “Plowman’s Folly”

you have to assess if they are truly damaging things and if they really need to be dealt with... if they do... then I will typically use JWA with JHS the Jerusalem artichoke one or the gingko one... but that is not a guarantee to work... sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't... try the marigold one as well I've had limited success with that... flea beetles are very tough to manage organically so often I just let them be rather than spray the plants with all kinds things even though they're natural

My garden sucks this year. In Oregon, and even my arugula isn't more than 6" tall and is already starting to flower. None of my lettuce or spinach are really growing. My tomato plants still aren't more than 8" tall. Only my beef steaks are that tall. The other 3 varieties are only like 3" tall. Haven't grown since I planted about 3 weeks ago. Pepper plants, okra, onions, etc aren't really growing. Only thing that might be growing is my cabbage plants. Beets aren't doing good, nor is the cucumbers, zucchini. I can't get flower seeds to germinate very well. I'm using my JADAM that I started over a year ago. Added some store bought fish fertilizer yesterday. Have some urine that I tried with the JADAM and a fish as well as chicken manure solution I started back in Feb and March. I guess my light compost I added and leaves last Fall wasn't enough. I think my potatoes are starting to grow pretty good. We didn't get hardly any peaches, plums, or pears started this year. Last year our trees were loaded and this year I have less than a dozen on a couple trees and no plums at all. Even the old apple tree that was loaded last year has some fruit on it, but only about half the tree has fruit. This year appears it might be worse than it was last year. Last year was my first year trying to JADAM stuff, but thinking I might have to go to using fertilizers. I'm sick of not getting much out of my garden and spending so much time watering, weeding, etc. :( Our gardens area we are using hasn't been really used since we moved about between 2012 and 2022. The last 2 years have been the worse gardens I have ever have.

Nate, I see that you have camomile in your beds. I desperately want to grow some in mine but I'm having no success.
