Donna have you ever tried planting zucchini? I just can't get enough of that. Lately I've been dehydrating quite a few vegetables because I have too much shade to grow a garden. So I buy from local farmers markets. I ran across a very interesting lady here on youtube. Her channel is dehydrate2store and I bought the dehydrator that she uses and now I still water bath and pressure can food for winter and long term storage but I will probably put up more veges with the dehydrator.

I have been thinking of getting a dehydrator, I will check out the channel. Thanks!!

Trimmings get in mine too! Doesn.t seem to be a problem as long as the grass or weeds are not setting seed. If a weed is setting seed, I remove it by hand befroe trimming. Don't worry about the grass cuttings. I love to plant kale and lettuce in the fall. Cilantro, parsely, brocolli, and fennel do well also. My nasturiums (wrong spelling - edible flower) did well too and they are great in a salad. thansk for watching!

How do you put up your peppers for the freezer? You mentioned it in the video and I was wondering since I have a few pepper plants. Awesome garden, have watched every single one!

[dylan14570]

Hi! I cut the peppers into slices and put them on a cookie sheet. I let them freeze on the sheet for about 4 hours, then I transfer them to a zip lock bag. They keep all through the winter for my pepper and kale soup! Thanks for watching!

I have noticed a few of your issues could be rectified by "Companion Planting". I discovered a book published by Mother Earth News.titled " The Abundant Vegetable Garden". I picked it up at a yard sale and it now has turned into my new vegetable bible. I swear by companion planting...It does work....The main Super Defender, as I call it, is the Marigolds. I put Giant ones at the corners of my gardens and I have no issues with bugs.

I hate having to edge around my square foot garden because all the trimmings get in the garden...is this a problem that you worry about? thanks for the updates. I have trimmed everything back and would love suggestions for what to plant for fall..I am in Houston, Texas..so we have pretty much the same weather I think.
