Donna's Square Foot Garden Part 7

@shuedue Thanks! This video is from a long time ago!! I am already doing much of what you have suggested and it really helps! I know I cannot water overhead in the spring because it is not hot enough here for it to evaporate off the leaves. I need to try the egg shell idea!! Thanks for watching! You may like some of my latest videos too!

Here's some advice. Do not plant mint on your garden. It is an invasive plant! Plant it on plant pots because it grows underground and it will eventually start coming out in your living room! I planted only three tiny plants 12 years ago and it has taken over half of my garden. I can't get rid of them! - is similar with some types of berries.

[dylan14570]

Thanks! I actually planted the mint in a pot, and put it in my bed so it would not spread. I have since moved it out into another pot. Mint is a great bug repellent, so don't be too discouraged by the mint...it might be helping you!!! Bugs hate it! Thanks for watching!!

whats the point?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dylan14570]

Keep the crows from eating the red tomatoes.

miracle grow wont hurt the blooms if it gets cold then really hot that can do it and if you water to much like more than once a day for 15 minutes is almost to much

[dylan14570]

Thanks! I figured it was the old temps! So I am going to try growing in the shade this year.

which video shows your carrots?

[dylan14570]

Hi,

I am not sure that I recorded where I pulled the carrots. They were good size, like a baby carrot. I probably will not plant again. They take a very long time and I guess I am just not muich into carrots! thanks for viewing!

Your tomatoes are not getting pollinated in the netting. I would suggest getting a fake owl to scare off the birds and removing the netting, so the bees can get to your blooms.

Also, you might want to start a worm bin. Worm castings are better than Miracle Grow and I'm pretty sure your boys would love to raise red wigglers. Check out vermiculture online.

[dylan14570]

Thank you! We have worms and you are right, my boys love them. They have not produced enough castings to use yet.

When I lived in Florida I grew tomatoes. Some animal would come and pull them off the vine and stack them up in piles, maybe take a bite and leave them. Very frustrating.

[dylan14570]

Great idea!

i grow a lot of watermellon and cantalope if you would plant one plant on each corner and then one in the middle you will have lots of watermellon and cantalope

hope this helps

I love your videos. It might be worth reading up on some green tomato chutney recipe just so you can make sure your getting something from your plants.

Next year, grow a few cherry sized bush tomatoes. They ripen so quickly and would suit the way you like to "go out and pick a few" with your beans and lettuce. Tumbler Tom obviously works fine and you can stake them a little if you want them to grow upwards.

It should give you the chance to grab a few before the birds take a shine to em.

[dylan14570]

Thank you!

when the tomatoes start turning pink you can pick them and ripen inside they will be just as wonderfull.I actully preferr them this way. I also use miracle grow but very diluted and very little because I am using a time release fertiliser in the soil.

your garden is very nice . and I'm sure that you will gain alot of ideas for next season. it's all part of gardening. my big problem is aphids and they are very hard to deal with

thanks for posting your garden!
