  • How do you know that the squash and the cucumbers and all the non-leafy veggies are ripe? just feel 'em?

  • Squash and cukes are ready whenever you want them to be, you can eat them small or large, although most people like it somewhere in between. For other fruiting crops, it depends on the individual veggie. In general, most fruit that is ripe will seperate from the plant easily.

  • hey john, if you put stone tiles in between the beds on the walkway it will look really nice and you will appreciate the look.

  • I did end up doing that in a later video:

  • Thank you so much for replying to quickly (love your videos/inforamtion). Sorry to seem like a pest however, when you pick them off do you mean at the top or do you cut them off close to the main stem? I just picked up som deem oil and was told to spray. I am going to attempt to stake my squash today. AGAIN, great videos/informaton, keep up the great work !!!

  • Its best to cut affected leaves near the main stem, as sometimes I find the powdery mildew on the stem.

see all

  • I answer many of your questions in the video at

  • How much did all this cost at first? Like your initial capital investment? What does it cost to maintain? What are your savings on groceries? I'm curious about the financial aspect of home supergardening.

  • On the lower growing plants - I grow things that dont require as much sun- ie: non fruit bearing crops- mostly green leafy veggies and herbs.

  • Put up a fence.
