Thanks for all the great videos. I am building new raised beds. I noticed you have some kind of black fabric all over your garden area. I need something like that because my native soil has Johnson grass all throughout my garden area. I want to put something down to stop that “Evil Johnson Grass” and keep it out of my raised beds. It grows from rhizomes under the soil. What is that that you have used and where can I get it. Again thank you for all the great information. You are awesome?

After calculating the costs to put out a very large garden each year and then watching up to 20 deer at a time believe this was made for them, we didn't grow anything last year and purchased a CSA from a local organic farm. We saved over $200 for the season and had locally-grown organic food until Mid-November. This year, we decided to grow indoors during the winter and had ample supplies of greens and microgreens. Rather than have houseplants in our sun room, we have lettuce, kale, collards, mustard, and arugula under the grow lights.

Deer do not like Rosemary so plant Rosemary as a border and then deer won't touch the inner plants. Also, fencing like this guy did around the garden helps as well.

@@TheKuptis we had large rosemary bushes that wintered over for the last several years, and it did nothing to deter these urban deer. Fencing is not an option for us due to restrictive covenants preventing all but wooden lattice. The biggest problem is neighbors both feeding the deer and even letting them come into their houses.

We don't garden to save money. We garden because we like growing things. Sounds like you should grow things that dear like and have a great garden for them and you can enjoy seeing them eat the things you planted for them.😂

I like how straight to the point everything is. No time wasted!

Burying tomatoes deep is not simply about additional roots developing along the stems. It's also about being at a depth that has more consistent moisture levels without the same levels of fluctuation the surface experiences. They do better with consistent moisture.

Just wanna say thanks for being such a great resource for folks just getting into gardening. Your videos have been incredibly helpful, but also great for just putting on whenever I need a distraction and want some Bob Ross style soothing content.

I have a confession to make. Last year I planted out our peppers & tomatoes before May, when our last frost date is around mid May. I had pepper & tomato transplants that were big & flowering. The tomato plants were so gangly I had to use bamboo stakes to prop them up our I would never have been able to get the cages around them. Instead of plucking the flowers, pruning them back & waiting until the coast was clear to avoid freezes, I planted them out way early as is. It turned out to be an absolutely amazing season for our peppers & tomatoes. I think I just got lucky. Our Michigan summer weather was very weird thanks to the Canada wildfires that raged back then. I'm still bitter about not catching those 27lb bags of plant tone on clearance at Home Depot years ago when you made the video about catching fertilizers on clearance. Our local TSC has 2 bags for $24 each, which is decent enough per pound but . . . nope LOL At least I caught their daily deal for 27lb bags of Holly Tone for $6.97 each last September!

That’s the thing about tomatoes - the earlier you get them in, the better they do. I always start a crop early to risk to get them in early, because if I keep them alive, I will reap big rewards. Tomatoes don’t like being out in the open in summer. They’re a forest vine, so growing them like we do out in the open to maximize flowering beats the plants up.

This is exactly what happened to me this week and I completely interpreted it wrong. I knew my tomatoes were starting to outgrow their cups so I potted up to 1 gallon containers until last frost date (April 1) The next day 2 were blooming. I thought they were happy because they honestly looked better. A few of them I had to fluff up the roots just like you did. I hope they will do ok. It’s my 2nd year growing tomatoes. They are in my unheated greenhouse now and been hardened for a couple weeks.

I think I'm a little late as I've just started my seedlings indoors this week but it feels reassuring watching this video because I planned to do my tomatoes and peppers exactly the way you've shown with the same products. The only 2 things I've deviated from your process is adding granular mycorrhizal inoculant underneath where the transplant is going because I'm planting in grow bags with a potting mix that doesn't have the beneficial fungal contents included and the other is that I'm going with fish hydrolysate instead of emulsion since it is more nutrient dense.

I learned a lot! I also loved the "Drop Mic" moment at the end of the training video!! Eating the orange!!!!!! 😂
