    I paused this video at the five minute mark and ran out and planted cucumbers next to my tomatoes in the rain! Also, I rarely "prune" any of my plants. If I want more yield I just plant a few more plants.

    What I like most about your videos. You are never insulting to your viewers like so many so called experts. I don’t like to be called an idiot by a YouTuber that has some far fetched idea of gardening that doesn’t work for me. You share information in detail, with explanation. You’re not promoting nonsense products as you talk about gardening. You are honest in assessments of everything garden related. That deserves respect. Now, as for me, I’m older than dirt and I’ve been gardening for a lifetime, but I never proclaim to know everything, in fact I know very little and experiment every year. With that said, every time I watch your videos I seem to learn something or at least be reminded of why I do certain things. I appreciate all of your efforts to put these videos out and hope you continue for a long time to come. Thank You

    Leaf miners are easy to take care of before they become a big issue. Take your thumb and forefinger and simple pinch around the trails until you feel a "pop"😊

    This was a very encouraging video. We just bought our new homestead, and just moved in over Labor Day weekend. We had to clear the land, till a garden plot, order seeds etc, and I am just now (mid June) finally able to start some things. I have a short growing season so I know it will be a tight squeeze, but I am hoping I can get some food out of the garden despite planting in June. I can’t afford starts so I generally grow from seeds.
  • @lindag9975
    Thanks. Here in the Phoenix area, the only items in that list which can be planted here in June are basil, cantaloupes, and Armenian cucumbers (a melon). Everything else had to be planted long ago. It's even too late to plant okra here. Sweet potatoes can still be planted here though. However my summer squash, peppers, and tomatoes are still producing, and the watermelons are flowering. My tomatoes produced a little all winter, and the peppers produced in January but began producing again in late March. And almost everything must have been shaded a couple of weeks ago. It will be 110+ degrees later this week.
  • I have a couple catnip plants in a perennial bed that are absolutely covered in hover flies and parasitic wasps all summer. I am just getting to planting out the summer garden as we had a frost last week. Fingers crossed we are done now.
  • I planted my squash in July last year. The vine borer activity is almost gone by them. I had a few eggs laid for a couple of weeks but that was it until... later in the early fall. I missed one and it took out two plants but I had already had plenty to harvest. In the past, I had none. I'm in Fort Worth Texas. Check out when your vine borer activity is and plant around it if you can.
  • Perfect timing! I just finished three 3 x5, 17 inch high metal garden beds. Lots of work and money. I planted tomato plants and assortment of basil in them. So now that im completely wiped out from the whole process. You have just motivated me to add MORE! Thanks 😊 ❤ 🌼 Sylvia
  • @cobaltblue8363
    Plant more Summer squash, as soon as squash starts flowering. Cucumbers under tomatoes, basil, rosemary, okra and oregano. Plant corn now in blocks to encourage successful pollination.
  • @defensaiyans.
    Daisy, she loves you! The basil is very informative!😊
  • @joanies6778
    I am so late getting my peppers and tomatoes in the ground. Good thing, though... we just got decimated with a hail storm this past week. Now all of a sudden it's hot, so I can get some heat loving seeds planted. They will avoid being stunted or destroyed by the hail. Thanks for all the reminders. 🤗
  • @caroczel
    Gardening in West Africa, challenging enough, (originally from NJ) but this year a friend gave us a puppy 🙄😐😔 managed to get a few tomatoes before the chaos began... Going to replant in a separate space some corn, chilies, bnuts, (fingers crossed for last cocoa tree seedling) and maybe try some tomatoes before the rainy season sets in(July August?) definitely now a cat person...lol ty for the tips, longbeans are my faves...💚💚💚💚
  • We are aquaponics of cucumber, tomatoes,basil,mint, spinach, garlic, bunch onions: but squash, bean,corn, carrots, radishes peppers: other root veggies on ground. Our back gardening is busy: glad we don't have an HOA committee command center.
  • @marylouruss1087
    I just got the Powdered aspirin and the Earth you talked about. Going to try it Wednesday. I have ants every where so i hope it works. Thanks for talking about it.I'm on older gardner learning new things
  • @sharibc3597
    I didn’t know you wrote a book until I started following Chad that you mentioned. He talked about your book. I bought it and it’s helped a lot!!
  • @LaMagnatron
    I just built your trellis design, and I love it!! 3 rows by 15 feet. Thanks for everything! ❤
