    Thank you so much for this information! I am going to prune my tomatoes and squash first thing tomorrow morning! I started my garden last month after my brother built me a raised garden bed. It’s been years since I’ve had a garden…I’m so excited, and have loved every moment. I also planted cantaloupe, peppers and other veggies…some in planters. My squash and cantelope are doing great, but I notice some of the leaves are turning. I’m not sure if I’m watering too much or not enough. But we will figure it out! I’m searching for more of your garden tip videos! Again, thank you! 😁

    I’m loving your videos. This COVID situation has me hanging out at home and, for the first time in many years, taking vegetable growing seriously. I’ve had good success with zucchini, thanks to your great advise on pruning. I’ve also really enjoyed growing cucumbers and tomatoes. I’d appreciate some advise about growing cucumbers. (I’m dialing in my recipe for cucumber, tomato and onion salad. So good!) I’m making plans for next year. I see myself happily spending the winter looking through “seed catalogs” and planning the 2021 growing season. (I’m thinking tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, summer squash, various greens, and God knows what else might fit.) I look forward to any advise you might have during that time. Again, I’m loving your videos. They are short, sweet and right to the point, the kind of videos I’d return to for a refresher. Well done, sir!
