What do you do with your abundant harvests? Any tips on food preservation so none of our hard earned crops go to waste?

Hi, you have tons of fruit and vegetables. How do you prevent Squirrels from eating everything? Thanks.

@@MaliaSoul Wildlife hasn't stolen any of my harvests this year! Have a multitude of squirrels along with two quarreling chipmunks that I provide a protection fee of pecans and walnuts. Bowl of water is always available. Also instead of bird seed I feed the birds crushed shelled unsalted peanuts. The nuts don't try to take root in my planters when they flick it and attracts far more species of birds. I don't overfill the feeders so that by sunset they are empty. Not keen on encouraging the more destructive nocturnal species. In spring I just use netting to prevent the rodents from digging. Critters cannot resist the soil's call even if you heavily mulch. Sow cover crops in situations where you'll need to eventually remove the netting. Do all that I do because "removing" them isn't an option without angering the locals who also adore and feed them.

Tuck found the perfect spokesperson, James, who is able to disseminate Tuck's vast agricultural knowledge in a format that us Hoomans can easily understand and learn from.

Hi James and Tuck🐕🌝 I am sad to report, I wish I could say the summer heat but no..I have lost most of my vegetable garden and flowering plants due to the devastating hurricane Beryl, although I tried to prepare and protect my backyard garden area. I'll find the strength to do it all again. I am grateful to God that our family is safe.🙏

I like how small your apple trees are, but still are filled with lots of apples. Everything looks great. 😊

Shoutout and love for Tuck, the best dog gardener ever. ❤🐶

I'm in Texas. One year, I ordered a load of mulch, but I made an error, and they FILLED MY DRIVEWAY with it! I put down about 10" of mulch all over multiple beds, and had to give a lot away. That year was FANTASTIC. The plants loved Loved LOVED the massive layer of cool protection from our Texas sun.

Man, I’m so impressed with your garden. My cucumbers and tomatoes are just forming fruit. So jealous. Thx for the info!

So hot and humid here in Georgia. The bugs are starting to get ridiculous . I am having to water all the time. People wonder how I keep my garden going into the fall…..water. I’m having a huge abundance of tomatoes. Should have planted more cucumbers….next year. Hot peppers are doing great. I planted Seminole pumpkins….praying I get many .Herbs …time to harvest and put up. Getting ready to start seeds for fall garden soon. Love your channel ❤

Hi, James. As a former NJ resident who moved to the mountain west, I learned to make sure my tomatoes had afternoon shade...also, they won't set (flowers, but no fruit) when it's above 90 or so.

❤I pulled one bed of potatoes yesterday and immediately replanted the bed with sunflowers and zucchini. The bed next to it was garlic replanted after harvest with carrots. My first tomatoes are starting to turn color today - THANK YOU for all your informational videos! I look forward to going into my gardens every day!

It is always lovely to see an amazing garden. Water timing and shade I agree so much with you! Great Pointers 💚🪴Happy Growing

A beautiful garden, James. Thanks to your boss man, Tucker😊🐶 I always love to see him in your videos. He’s the man👍 Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden and your knowledge.

Incredible food forest James. You’d be impressed with this novice’s garden. I listen to all your tips and advice. My family is appreciating it ❤s for Tuck.

I've been using seedling straw as a mulch.And I really like it. One of the things I use it for Is to keep the rain splash off the bottom of the leaves

We here in Atlanta Ga 🎉would LuV LuV LuV to see how do U prepare some of the items that U harvest ❤❤ Thanks for ALL that U and Tuck do❤❤❤❤

We’re in the same grow zone, so I know EXACTLY what the heat has been doing to our plants. 😂❤❤ I’ve put down leaf mulch and saw dust, on all the plants that like moist soil

I am happy for your tomato success! They are beautiful. We have had so much consistent rain and I’m in a new-to-me garden plot with subpar drainage (it seems). I’ve lost 12 plants now, and started with 50 ish. I’m researching what to do next season to help this soil. I am replanting some free ones I picked up at the hardware store and hoping for some more blossoms. It’s been a bad weather year for me, and plenty of other Iowa gardeners from what I hear. I’m so glad that Tuck shares his garden assistant with us, to make these videos! 😉 Clover, my garden boss, says hello!

Tuck is so cute! ❤❤❤❤I had such a green thumb when I lived in Jersey but here in the Southwestern desert, I'm even having a hard time with houseplants. And I've been here for over 25 years. I'm going to try an outdoor garden this coming year.

Next spring I’ll be ready with shade cloth and misters for certain areas. And surround WP!

I shared a cucumber with my dog for the first time this past week, and he's into it! lol Love & pets to Tuck! ❤❤❤❤❤

When I am a homeowner I'm going to strive to earn a garden like you own!

Your energy and love of gardening is everything!!! And Tuck is great too!!!

I use shredded paper from work, it works well as mulch and it also breaks down. My worms love it too.

James, you have such a great channel. You have such great energy about what you talk about because you love what you do and it shows so much. Watching your videos gives me such a lift. Your gardens are so beautiful too, it's like being there in a way when I watch. I love how you explain things and you look so good on camera. You are doing an awesome job! 👍👍

Love your garden - so beautiful. My garden is doing better due to all of your great tips! Thanks to you and Tuck!

Your videos are so therapeutic to watch! Thanks to you and Tuck for making these amazing videos. I also planted an apple tree from seeds, hope everything goes well ❤

This has been the absolute worst year ever in my garden here in New Jersey! 😭😭😭 Plants are dying, everything is below my stolen! EVERYTHING... watermelon, cucumber, pumpkin, tomatoes... an insane varmint even dug up one of my potatoes today! I had to plant my sunflowers 3 times! and my corn twice! My artichokes have been devastated... either stolen or murdered, this has neve happened before. Strawberries... each one half eaten 🤦🏼‍♀️ Finally my corn is progressing and my potatoes are thriving. Celery is behind but growing and my lettuce plants are also successful. I've never had to replant so much or had so much literally stolen by critters. Everything is behind now or dying from the brutal NJ heat. At least my son's cayenne peppers haven't been stolen.

Another great video-thanks. You give trustworthy advice! Hey Tuck❤❤❤

Very helpful, James. Thanks, to you and Tuck, for braving the brutal heat to offer these valuable tips and share another tour of your amazing garden.

Incredible channel! Thank you for sharing all your gardening skills and advice!!!

As always, thank you for great gardening tips.😊

I live in an APT and is all have is rail planters... I have Basil, Oregano, Dill, Pepper's and radish planted.. So what i can do is very limited.. but what i do, do is water the base of the plants with condensate from my portable AC unit.. I do not use city water, since the fluorinate it and the water is extremely hard.. I water the base of the plants in the early evening and in the mid morning.. Everything is thriving.. I know a lot of people have lost their pepper plants.. Those usually love the heat.. but the 95+ degree days and a lot of them has been low humidity.. I just do my best to keep the soil moist.. Only thing I use on the top is a cow manure compost that I bought a bag of the beginning of the season..

same here man thhe july and june heat was crazy but its beginn to rain again...god cares

❤❤❤❤❤. Tuck is super kool ...thank you for sharing the tips ...u have an amazing garden .

Thank you for your videos. Your excitement about gardening is inspiring. The things you teach are very helpful too. I was able to save some of my plants from what I learned from your videos

Great tips for gardening in the heat, it's been super hot here in CA too! ❤❤❤❤ For Tuck as always !

What great tips they make perfect sense! Thank you!❤

Thank you for the video, Hey Tuck!

Love your little guy. It’s amazing all the vegetables he eats.❤

Viewing from coastal GA, this is very helpful 😊

Absolutely amazing! James, your garden is fabulous! You are so sweet to share the produce with family and friends. You are blessing others. Thank you for your garden tips. Of course 🤗💝💗♥️😘💕😃 for the young king!

Tuck is the King-of-the-green !! My Jack-doodle ( Chia-poo) is the same size as Mr. Tuck and enjoys all of the vegetables that he does...soooo cute. He especially enjoys the Suyo-long cucumber. H adores carrots but our over 100 degree weather for 3 weeks plus now would be hard to grow successfully. I need to invest in shade-cloth ! Right now, I make good use of 30-pack beer box cardboard. Gorgeous garden fruit !! What kind of beef-steak is that ?? Wowza...grape-crazy !! , fun. Yay for a great little covered-bed of blueberries to keep pristine . Awesome food-forest !! Potatoes are so awesome and prolific. I had to cover my zucchini to help it prosper through the heat.

I'm so jealous love your garden😍💚 lots of love from Michigan!!✌💚 them for the tips!!

Love for Tuck. Great appreciation for James and thanks to his brother for being his camera man.❤❤❤❤

You make it look so easy 💙💙

Unbelievable sized strawberries you just have the magic touch❤❤🦋🙏🏻

❤❤❤❤❤go Tuck!!! Love watching your show. I have learnt so much. I’m in Sacramento California, much different zone than you but this is still helpful. We’ve had three weeks of over 100 temperatures and my garden is doing OK believe it or not. I have you to thank

Love u and Tuck! Love this show.

Had to laugh at this video! Here in UK it is the coldest, wettest season I can ever remember! Tomatoes are usually ripe by now, but hardly formed, slugs are a HUGE problem ( have eaten four plantings of carrots and eating their way into our potatoes). squash plants and cucumbers have failed..... Benefits? lettuce ! (inside or they would be massacred by slugs) , soft fruit tremendous crop.... We just have to work with what we`re given, and be grateful for what we get from our gardens- so much healthier and tastier than shop bought. Even the huge increase in rabbits agree!!!

❤❤❤love tuck and your guidance

Excellent growing garden my friend, watching from The beautiful Bahamas

I sure wish you were my neighbor then I could learn your gardening ways. Love your videos with your buddy Tuck! Thank you!!!

Love love your garden. AZ hasn't been nice to my poor garden. I tried but 🤷🏻‍♀️😞

The best show regarding caring for your plants in the heat of summer. Thanks for your insight, James! Love the Little Boss! He's right out there with you throughout the growing season and beyond. Hearts for Tuck ❤❤❤🥕🫑🥕🍅

to assist with my watering I invested in a few ollas (clay watering jugs), I have the drain for my AC run off attached to a soaker hose for my banana bed and I also invested in IBC bladders to catch my rain water....they hold 200 gallons and are connected to my downspout.

Very nice❤❤❤❤❤❤

Watching your abundance of healthy plants i got to remember my 15 big hands full of snails i collected the last days and moved them quite a bit away from my plants. Before even the big plants didn't get a chance. By now - july - they get their first chance to grow at all over here...

Garden Mukbang with James Prigioni! I love it❤️❤️❤️

❤❤❤❤For Tuck and you!

I agree. 💗Tuck is a sweetheart, tomatoes benefit by pruning but need protection from hot summer sun, 💗Tuck is so cute, staking squash saves space and easier to find pest. Start seeds for fall planting now with sun protection. 💗

I live in the Florida Panhandle! My whole garden is dead except for my peppers. I’m definitely getting shade cloth next year. Your garden is awesome ❤️

Hi James, I have learned so much from you and your videos. Thank you so much for teaching us and sharing your knowledge. I also live in NJ and it has been through your videos that I learned about gardening and what would grow in my zone. I would like to request a watering video. Where you tell us how often you water each of your plants. i.e: tomatoes, zuchinnies, cucumbers, potatoes, etc. I think it would be ao interesting to watch and learn about your watering schedules.

❤❤❤ for Tuck and all.

Man you have Great abundance that's awesome

Awesome garden!!
