That Rainbow and Clouds between the two Trees was Beautiful ❤️

Thank you Jay and Jen 👍🏻 God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you my friends 🫶🏻

Good morning and Cheers!

At least in your garden when you say I don't know what that is, you know that it will be good for you. When we go to the store to buy groceries that come in boxes, we don't know what what some one put in the boxes. The box could say it is nutritious, but who knows? Keep up the good work and I hope your garden keeps you well fed!

Garden looking great. Lots of places just need a little more sunshine and heat - including my garden!😍🇨🇦

Gotta be my favorite garden!

Everything beautiful! Flower garden I love. Think you'll have abundant crop!

Great work guys 👍 that root cellar is going to need building sooner than you think.

I have noticed that berry plants do need a season or two to acclimate to the new surroundings , raspberry, blackberry, blueberry and ect ! Nice job on the gardens! Coming along nicely 👍 Don't think you will have an issue with the beans over the potatoes either as beans usually are done first . Trellis them and that would help! We are in SW Michigan and its very similar growing 💗

A small wood chipper might be a good investment. The wood chips would be good much and holds moisture plus it looks nice. You got lots of free material. New to the channel and really like it.

Jay, try using a solution of Epson salt & water to water your plants. I use one cup of Epson salt in one quart of water then add the solution to a watering can and I water the plants about every 14 to 21 days It makes my peppers really go to town.

Congrats on getting to 50k. Good luck on your garden. It’s looking really good. I’ve never seen tomato leaves that big. It is good to keep the bottom leaves off so it doesn’t touch the soil and stay wet. That’s what makes them go bad.

What a fantastic garden , Hey all you folks need is some chickens for eggs , You don't need a rooster just the girls feed them what you eat besides their chicken food , that is what my girlfriend does. Yes blueberries take a year or two to become established at least for the highbush one's . Darn Jen my lavender sprigs are falling over don't know why.. gets sun soil drains well.

Composted manure is the best. And it does take at least a couple of years to establish fruit plants.

Everything in your garden is really growing good. You're going to have a lot of veggies coming out and the flowers are looking good jen. You have to be careful with black-eyed Susans they spread a lot I had to t h i n mine out and plant Bose elsewhere and they stay blossomed for a good 2 months at least mine did I'm sure yours will as well.

i mostly grow the big ticket items that we would ordinarily spend a lot of money on feeding ourselves. 7 rows of corn, 4 rows of onions, 3 rows of potatoes a row of tomatoes, few rows of green beans.... Plus, you know... Rhubarb. The potatoes and onions store well in the root cellar but we freeze the corn and can the green beans. we mostly pick and eat the tomatoes and rhubarb as they ripen but we dry and preserve a variety of herbs. We have a few apple trees that look they are are finally going start to pumping out some apples, a lot of apples

Succession gardening. I'd like to see how that's done. I can only grow a few veggies at a time, and after we eat those, that's it.

You may want to research marigolds and ferns as well as learning foraging other 'weeds' for edible and medicinal purposes...(food, tinctures, extracts, etc)

You can eat the leaves of the broccoli too. 4 to 6 hours of sun is good

You'll keep yourself and the neighbors well fed with that garden.

If you want great tomatoes , use Jobes tomatoes spikes , then just stand back and watch the miracle happen .

The marigolds are so easy to collect the seeds from when the bloom dies and you dead head them just pull the bloom out and the seeds are right there

I’d take the sunflowers out because they’re going to take all the moister

Just rotate your potato patch... next year... we compost old potato patch in the fall. Just let the potatoes air dry, don't wash until you are going to use them. Just keep a journal of your garden and how it all turned out

According to Scripture, here's why: Leviticus 19:23-25 - “When you enter the land and plant any kind of fruit tree, don’t eat the fruit for three years; consider it inedible. By the fourth year its fruit is holy, an offering of praise to GOD. Beginning in the fifth year you can eat its fruit; you’ll have richer harvests this way. I am the LORD, your God."
