Society's growing disconnect from nature is unfortunate. In this age of food industrialization, we must honour the practices of our predecessors. Organic gardening has a rich history spanning over 10,000 years. We used to cultivate high-quality, organic food for our families, but now we settle for nutrient-poor, pesticide-laden produce from our "trusted" grocers. Some say the days are gone, but I believe in preserving the good things amidst change.
Consider this: today's grocery store apple contains roughly 25 times fewer nutrients than one from 1914. To match the nutritional value of the past, you'd need to consume 25 apples in one sitting. Our current practices have depleted everything, unlike ancient methods that were less harmful to our planet. Although some may argue that there is no longer a reason to care, that is the exact mindset that needs to be eliminated.
I'm here to assist those who still care deeply. May the Lord be with you always.

What a sweet little thing 😍 baby caterpillars are the cutest 💚
Helpful little clip - looking forward to learning more from you! 💚
Thank you so much for the kind words!
I leave the onion flesh on as it feeds the new growth.
I assume that would work if you put it straight into soil. But when using water, it would probably just rot and make a mess. But thank you, I will try it!
@@therealgardener you have a point about rot.
If you want to ensure the eggs hatch, leave them outside until you can see their little black head on the tip of the egg. Then bring them inside. This always works for me and I haven’t had any issues with them hatching.
Thank you for the tip. I usually get scared of them dying outside, but I will try this. Stay tuned for my next short showcasing my new monarch caterpillars!
Do use softwood or hardwood rosemary cuttings for rooting in soil & water?
For rosemary, I use semi hardwood or softwood. Semi hardwood is basically when the cutting is rigid but still green. And you know softwood is when they are still bendy. Let me know if you try it!
@@therealgardener ok.. thanks a lot.. now I am able to differentiate between semi hardwood & softwood. Very valuable information learned here, 🙏..
Mint is a weed. Stuff grows everywhere at my place. Can’t get rid of it.
Yea you have to keep that mint contained.
Sometimes weeds are a gift. I let some weeds grow and they turned out to be prickly lettuce, a wonderful painkiller.
I do that as well in controlled areas. Typically dandelion or purslane.
Look at those cherry tomatoes dammm 🍒🍒🍒🍅🍅🍅
Killing innocence tree 😢
It is not a tree my friend. This is how we get our food. Unless you don't eat, then your food has to be killed as well
None of those were big
The last two were the biggest ones out of all of them.
There's nothing sad about that it's food keep up the great work patience is on your side
Thank you for the kind words my friend
Underratted
Thank you my brother!
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
i love prickly pear! never grown it myself but i’ve been gifted it before and it’s such a unique flavor
Yea they are delicious! Here in Ontario, they actually sell the fruit in the grocery store. But it's definitely better to grow your own!
Phenomenal tips 😉
Thank you for the kind words! 😊🙏
La chinita proteje y limpia la planta de los pulgones, viva la chinita!!!
Yes! Exactly right! 👍💯
Storm came through last night and damaged around 6 plants or so. I will know the full extent ones I get out there to repair the damage.
Yea I hate when that happens. 6 plants is a lot though
@@therealgardener I still have around 50 backups ready to go and 31 mature plants ready to set. Ended up only losing one thus far. Broke it about 4 inches up the stem. All that I t-post Florida weave trellised were fine. Had more t- post coming but didn't make it in time.
@@user-bt4oj1qk6p that's good to hear. The Florida weave method is probably the best for supporting the heavy plants; I use it in my garden as well.
First tutorial that actually help d
Thank you so much! Make sure you subscribe to get more videos in the future!
I have tried something like this in belarus. Tastes like a kiwi-berry mix
A handful or two of coffee grounds would be a great addition - get ‘em at a coffee shop…
Yes that is a great idea!
... did not expect you to whip it out and start pissing
I love raising monarch butterflies
Absolutely love this video! 🌱🌿 Your tips on organic gardening are so helpful and inspiring.
Thank you for the kind words!
Some also call this “post-hole composting!”
I've never heard that one before!
Subscribing. Great video. Helpful.
Much appreciated!
I am glad to help!
this video should have a bunch a vies already . thank you too much .
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
£6.29 for 20 seeds??? Yet each ripe tomato could contain 20 to 50 seeds? That seed company is making a FORTUNE!!!
Half that for GBP. $6.29 is Canadian Dollars. New seeds are often twice the price of seeds that have been on the market for a while.
Better with a netted enclosure rather than a jar, has better ventilation
Thank you. Been thinking about composting and this seems like the easiest way to do it in the garden
How beautiful, I want to start raising monarch butterflies. I'm watching videos and learning. thanks for the video
I am so glad to hear it! Thanks for watching and trying it yourself! 😃
Beautiful 🌿🦋
Thank you!
I have a milkweed plant and noticed about 20 caterpillars on it earlier today. I just checked them again 6 hours later … I’m going to buy more plants right now as they have eaten almost the entire plant!!
Wow! That is truly amazing! Keep them very well fed as they have a long migration down to Mexico. I absolutely love to hear it! Good luck 😀
What type of milkweed is that please tell me can you tell some Amazon names
They eat the milkweed with white or lavender flowers. Don't know the scientific name.
Monarch caterpillars will only eat milkweed. There are many types of milkweed. Look into what is native to your area and plant a bunch! 💚
Good vids, keep it up
I thunk thats the wrong ant i think its milk weed u need
The thumbnail was a bit clickbaity, didn't see anything about killing your plants having something to do with the last leaf. Sorry, no upvote for me. Nor a downvote, just a disappointed comment.
I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment. The thumbnail shows the late-season blight on my tomato plants' leaves. In this situation, most people would chop and drop their plants to cycle the organic matter. However, by doing so, you are putting the blight back into the soil to kill your plants next year.
@@therealgardener Ah, now it makes sense. Not clickbaity then, just a bit ambiguous :)
I gotta say, the title and thumbail literally MADE me click. I can definitely see your channel blowing up, keep it up.
Thank you my brother in Christ 🙏
Your tomatoes don't have blight,those leaves are just damaged,blight forms black patches on stems eventualy spreading to the fruif and blackening both green and red tomatoes,plants should be pulled up roots and all and placed in bin bags to be disposed of with general rubbish but if possible burn the affected plant with other garden debris that cannot be composted!
Yes, the plants also have black spots on the stems and fruit trusses. But I did not know that that was the only indicator. Thanks.
I gotta watch later cause I had 55 notifications 😅
I’m sorry I missed it my tablet was tooken away on Sunday or Monday I cannot remember but I’m here now!
30% of the fruit is a good rule of thumb for foraging
Yes, that is a good ratio. It is important to leave some for the wildlife as well
Wow
The problem with plantain, is that this plant may be useful as a medicine, given to enhance the coaguability of the blood, but, given to certain person, old, or at risk of developing a clot for any reason, it may dramaticaly resolve into an ischemic accident, such as a stroke. This is something definitively not to be considered simple food by people who are not used to it since childhood, or a long time. Anyone who already suffered a stroke, or a heart crisis, should even not think takink this plant.
Oh my I was not aware of that. I am glad you shared the information.
Congratulations on the harvest! The plants, and their bounty are looking good
Thank you my friend!
Me: that's a nice mini strawberry Him: the first ripe raspberry Me: yes, raspberry
Awesome 👍👍
Thank you! 😃
That pluck almost looked real.
Yeah, I will say that I pulled the cucumber off before I started recording. But I'm glad it almost looked real 🤣.
@therealgardener it all looked good I guarantee that.
God i hate tomatos 😂
Well that's too bad, isn't it? 😂
@therealgardener not for me fortunately....but I do like BLT's otherwise no thank you
Where is part 2? Thank you
