@snooch1975 ;) Marigold is said to help with many problems w/ the body. Mostly gardeners use them to help keep pest away. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

Just gorgeous!!! I have four fig trees and none of them have set fruit yet but they set late last year so I'm hoping for some at the end of the summer. We're picking our potatoes now. Did a big ol blog on it with pictures, so much fun actually digging them up and cooking them right away. Love the look of your chard also. Ours didn't come up so well but we're going to try some different seeds soon and see how they do. Putting ginger root on my list of things I want to plant now too. :-)

@LawnsAreDumb Thanks! We had many other fruit trees of all kinds but couldn't bring them from our last place. They had grown to be so big & it was the wrong time of year to move them. I had a set of kiwis that grew to about 30 ft tall. They are stunning plants. The red ribbed chard is one of my favorites to grow & eat. Took a while for the ginger to pop. I think I am going to buy more and try it in a few other spots. Mt tea plants just started to spout too. Very exciting! Xo, A

Oh man, i was So ready to get out in the Garden and plant some of the New seeds. i got out there, Planing a all day outing in the garden...And i got the in the ground and then...RAIN. i was so upset i wanted to stay out but i couldn't.. its been raining all day even still and tomorrow too. SO to cage my rage on not beable able to go out i have been researching everything! some things i wouldn't find info on was

Thai Edible Gourd

Pole Bean, Valencia

is what i can remember...

[cornsnakecrazy21]

also where did you order your Kale seeds? i cant get any in my store and i only planted 4 plants..(hybrid) Not knowing what kale was...tried it...and i LOVE it. So i wanna plant way more. lol Also how do you keep your Potatoes i have some and they are Just shooting up like crazy.. i was told i need to cover them with dirt? How many times? @cornsnakecrazy21

[artnuwa11]

@cornsnakecrazy21 I have rare Kale from Seeds of Change, Victory & Baker Creek. As soon as you see green cover them. Depending on how long your season is will determine how long you can keep covering. About half to 3/4 way through your growing season stop covering. Let grow to produce flowers. After the vines die you collect the potato on a cloudy day or near sun down. Potato should never ever see sun light.

[artnuwa11]

@cornsnakecrazy21 That is one thing about gardening & mother nature.... you may have your plans, but they are the rulers! Rain is good, bless it and be happy for it. :) The bean is like any other, needs a trelis of stake to climb and lots of warm weather,sun, rich soil. Pick them young and often, Middle of the season let your best beans mature on the plant, when they start to die pull them by the roots hang to dry. Gourds need to climb, lots of sun and water, fairly heavy feeders. 

[artnuwa11]

@cornsnakecrazy21 I was reading to pick very small and use in stir fry. They will be the size of a footbal when they are mature enough to collect seed. Pick mature gourd and take indoors. Let stand on counter until you see "moldy" type spots showing up. Cut, collect & wash seeds. Place of paper plate to let dry in a well ventilated dark some what cool spot.

[artnuwa11]

Very good info thank you I am in Mass. our weather sinks it has been raining for ten days . Last year I had my garden planted already. I have some radish and peas but when I planted them two days latter we had two feet of snow, so one third are growing . Sometime I want to give up , you give me hope

[artnuwa11]

@msrose312 Thank you so much for your kind words.... never give up hope or let set backs stop you. You would cry if you had seen all the work and the places I had to leave behind. Starting over is hard. But I will never give up working & gardening no matter how many set backs. Keep smilin and keep on pluggin! With Warm Regards & Respect, A

Your garden is doing beautifully! I had the last of my lettuce yesterday. It was bolting and was getting very strong, Almost couldn't eat it. Thanks for the info on the Thai edible gourd and the lemon apple cukes! Wondered about the tomatoes. I have many heirloom close together and worried about them cross pollinating! Your videos rock! Blessings and happy gardening!

[artnuwa11]

@jwlrymkr You too, my friend! More really soon. Be well.
