Hi there! I'm in South Central Texas. Picked my first cantaloupe yesterday! I've had to use insect netting or kaolin clay on my entire garden due to grasshoppers. Replanted some things a few times. Shade cloths have really come in handy! Thank you for all you do to share knowledge and experiences with others! God bless you!

I put my tomato out 2 weeks earlier than I did last year good plants, I did my usual and gave each one a can of sardines packed in water sprinkled coffee grounds on top of fish then put in my plant. I usually see my plants jump I also made up coffee rods for each, planting 2 weeks earlier I think my tomatoes are going be 3 weeks later than last year so that would be 5 more weeks of growing time than last year. I was thinking we would have tomatoes by last week of June, it looks like it might be the last week of July before they are ripe. My onions on the other hand are jumping and are ahead of last year.

Live in Central Virginia and my zucchini is doing pretty good this year except three of my plants rotted off at the ground from water and it hasn't rained that much I'm going to water them too much, I planted onions for the third year in a row and they haven't done nothing last year and the year before I planted Onions by seed and they did not come up at all am I okra is just starting to put out okra

I'm in Milner GA. It's about the middle of the state. I put most of my plants out in early March. Everything was going good till late April through most of May. It's like they just stopped growing. It didn't matter what plant. But the end of May till now everything is just flourishing. My tomatoes started growing almost a foot a day. Most everyone I've talked to and gardens I've seen seem to be the same way. You talked earlier this year on porch time about the sun not putting out as much or not the right UV light. Seems the plants are showing that. It's not till we get the intense heat with the solstice that the plants started to grow.

I live in Wisconsin and the weather has been raining, damp and cool, we struggle to get in the 50s at night, tomorrow is our first 80s. And windy .

Mr Danny what happened to your thumb?

Laurel,Ms

Gretna LA my melon s is taking off container grower south east LA

Upper SC here, zone 8a, things growing better with the high heat but that’s typical for me. One thing I have noticed is that most of us here in my area have a delay in tomatoes turning red. Everything has come in abundance this summer, only one short rain in 3-4 weeks. There does seem to be a delay in plants to start to produce but once they start it’s abundant.

We're almost there

Those plants look great. I put up bell peppers, yellow squash, and tomatoes today. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am grateful and appreciative. This is in Northwest Georgia. Raised bed peppers are doing better than in ground. We need some rain bad.

Heat makes my banana peppers turn brown, not entirely, but in spots like yours look.

Glad you got some much needed rain. I'm still praying for ours to stop up here in Minnesota.

The radish tip you gave awhile back to deter pests has worked great for me this year & they are huge, bigger than baseballs, and they are the breakfast radish type, producing their pea pods now for seed saving. Still waiting on my tomatoes to turn red, but they are loaded. I bought some 3 ft. bamboo sticks on Amazon that are working great for stakes in my containers & raised beds!

Here in Mid MN, it has been somewhat a cool Spring/Summer with rain so far which is a contrast to last year. Last year, we had no Spring as it jumped right into hot Summer. My Cool Crops have been doing well. Tomato and pepper plants are just starting. Sweet potatoes just planted this week. We had a good Strawberry harvest this year as well.

Why do you keep referring to your wife as, "Ms.Wanda"? Doesn't make sense. She's Mrs. King!😂

Northwest Arkansas here... Yes, it is strange! Everything we planted struggled when the weather was what seemed like perfect conditions. We thought our soil was bad. Now that it is 110 degree heat index and ultra high humidity everything is taking off. Usually at this point it would be crispy and close to done. I don't understand it this year!

How to Get Rid of Flea Beetles Try this homemade spray to control flea beetles: 2 cups isopropyl alcohol, 5 cups water, and 1 tablespoon liquid soap. Test out the mixture on a leaf of the plant, let it sit overnight, then spray the rest of the plant if you don’t notice any adverse effects. Spray the mixture on the foliage of garden plants that are susceptible to these pests. Dusting leaves with plain talcum powder repels flea beetles on tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and other plants. Use white sticky traps to capture flea beetles as they jump. Insecticides may be used early in the season but are generally unnecessary in the control of flea beetles on adult plants. Be extra diligent if your soil has a history of bacterial diseases.

I live in Pawleys Island SC. Zone 8b. Only have room to grow in MANY grow bags... But my pepper plants this year are much larger, and later to come on. Now they are producing with a vengeance. Cucumbers behaved as usual and have come and gone. Potatoes, norm. Tomatoes a bit later than usual. Okra, norm. Rattlesnake beans did not do so well, but had a rabbit issue also. Watermelon, norm. Citrus norm so far. LOVE your channel!! 🙏🥰🇺🇸💪

I'm in central SC and a neighbor and I were discussing this same thing plants taking off since so hot and not growing earlier this spring. I haven't had the insect problems you've had with tomatoes. My eggplants are so stunted and pitiful an insect wouldn't touch them. I don't spray. I grow in raised beds and large tubs outside no high tunnel. I enjoyed the tour your garden is really productive and beautiful.

Flea beetles are especially attracted to eggplants and plants may be almost totally defoliated.

Flea beetles, caterpillars, false cinch bugs and diamondback larvae have all been known to defoliate horseradish. I bet it is your flea beetles getting your horseradish.

I am in W enteral Ga. Some of my peppers have that same brownish patch on them.Not all of them,just a few. My yellow squash produced several squash and then I got a whole bunch that were not pollinated even though I have lots of bees on the plants.Then the plants started yellowing and stopped producing. No squash bugs though. Usually they are a problem. Also had a few tomato hornworms but just a few where usually they are a big problem.

Hi I’m in Wisconsin my garden is producing in abundance it shouldn’t but my peppers are loaded sweet potatoes in abundance white potatoes plants huge green tomatoes squash lots of flowers but no fruit yet fruit trees loaded I have done nothing different this year

Lower SC. The only thing "on time" this year were potatoes. Ish. Planted mid Feb, 75 days they were ready. Typical red potatoes but also tried Kennebec. The Kennebec did amazing, which was a huge surprise to me. Usually can't grow anything but "Irish taters" here. Bumper crop of plums and peaches on very young trees. (again, surprised) Zero squash or zucchini - just didn't grow. Tomatoes are just now starting to make decently. Peppers are finally starting to take off. They stayed super small for months. Corn is doing good after replanting two weeks ago. Usually have some red rippers and butter beans this time of year but they're just starting to get going. Biggest thing growing right now is the cane I got from y'all a few years back. Gonna be some syrup making this fall. Started with about 10 feet and replanted all every fall. Got more than plenty to harvest this year. It's definitely been a weird growing year. Wonder if our humidity will break in August again along with first real frost by end of October this year like last. Crazy all over the place, seems like.

I'm in Oklahoma and growing sweet potatoes. They have exploded the last week. Planted garden late but it's going good.

South Alabama here. It has been an unusual year. My tomatoes lasted much longer this year. It was like plants got a second wind when the heat set in thought for sure I wouldn't get many cantaloupes the vines were sad looking then a second wind and new green growth and was able to harvest them all. watermelons have gotten there second wind also. Like you I am ending with sweet potatoes and okra until fall. With you also no more indeterminate tomatoes for me. Also I normally have a freezer full of yellow squash my favorite I have gotten 3 this year that has never happened. Thanks for sharing your garden

I live in central Maryland. Spring was cold, hot rainy, dry….it got too hot too fast. I am growing tomatoes, peppers, eggplant potatoes on my 3rd floor south facing patio. My third year growing here. All in 10 gal grow bags. All of my spring plants didn’t make it cause it got too hot. But I will be starting cool seeds in August. Love your channel.

God is blessing you with. Abundance to store Wanda try to freeze dry a cantaloupe I am in Connecticut it has been cooler than usual where I am not complaining critters eating my garden my potatoes plants look great

I'm in Central Pennsylvania. I got off to a late start. May 14th was my first day of planting. Today is 49 days and my garden is taking off. I started zucchini on May 27th and I harvested 33 days later. I have some pepper plants that took a hit from the 90 plus degrees heat we've had for 3 weeks now. Or maybe over watering I'm not sure but they are try to recover. The top leaves were all upside down and fluffy, now they are looking better. I have harvested Celery, Purple Bueaty peppers, Zucchinis, 1 red tomato (a bird pecked into it). So overall I'm excited about the progress. We have watermelons & Cantaloupes running. I didn't even plant any pole beans we have volunteers all up our trellis. Ok I'm done but I could keep going lol. Oh I did move on from some Cabbage, Cauliflower, and some container potatoes none of these were doing anything so we move on to something else. No I'm finished.

I have garden spots in Eupora and Spring Hill area and the squash and zuchinni have not done well at all…hand full of unpolinated small crookneck yellow squash but nothing to write home about. Peas and green beans are doing awesome! Shelling purple hull peas now. Pullled and put up 350 ears of sweet corn Friday. We are blessed with peas and corn for sure.

In Illinois I planted late, but after the solstice and the heat hit, everything took off. We have been getting rain every other day and it is like a sauna with high humidity all the time. Have to be careful not to water and let it soak up the rain. I did plant all but one garden in the shaded areas. The sandy soil here burns up everything. You do better with 4 hours of sun tops in my neighborhood. I plant in the shade of trees to have the afternoon sun out of the picture.

I planted 4 seedless grape plants. It is putting out more leaves but not climbing yet, here in Illinois. I planted them on Mother's Day. White and red. How long until yours started climbing? Tore muscles and dislocated my shoulder so I am a month behind in planting but got a lot done. I love the tour through your garden and high tunnel. Also hanging on the tidbits of information. gonna throw some peppers in with my watermelon plants now!

I'm in East Texas. I was just thinking the same thing the other day about this crazy weather we're having this year. It took for ever for the watermelon take for ever to grow this year. Just now started to come in. We planted our in late March.

Those pepoers are huge! I'm in Tennessee. Tomatoes, zuchinni, squash growing like crazy Made pickles and salsa. Froze green beans. My pepoers are doing well. There are no bugs so far. I have sweet corn, but it is just starting to tassel. There has been little rain the last couple of weeks, and the temps are in the 90s.

I put up a sunshade on part of my garden, but it's burning up. Never had this problem this early in the year. Trying to harvest what I can.

I'm in madisonville tn and everything here is just starting except my squash it done died out and our corn we are already on our second harvest

In Northcentral WV, it's been very hot and dry. There's been storms, but they've gone around us. We have a very large (4500 sq ft) garden. Corn, yellow squash, zucchini, and peas are just not growing well. But peppers (hot banana and bell), tomatoes, onions, beans (green and lima), winter squash, and sweet potatoes are doing well. The vote is still out on the Irish potatoes until we dig some. We need rain badly as well as fewer crows and less heat/humidity.

Lower Alabama: which cantaloupes and watermelons are these?

Oh I love fried egg plant and fried green tomatos you can hang your watermelons in panty hose or knee highs works great everything looks great

I know your peppers are in a high tunnel, but that sure looked like sun scald. The only other thing that I think it could be is blossom end rot. And I'm with you on removing the dead leaves. I'm in Zone 9A Texas Hill Country. My determinate tomatoes went to town this year and the indeterminates sucked wind. Cherry tomatoes are going pretty good though. I had an issue with the yellow straight neck squash this year also. But I ripped the plants out and am starting new ones. We'll see what happens there with a later planting. Grew 3 varieties of green zucchini this year and they performed extremely well. My other issue this year is green beans. They are being troublesome. But I keep planting seed to try and get a decent harvest. Think I canned about 6 - 7 pints so far. Ugh!

I'm in southeast Michigan. We've had some messed up weather this year. First we had weeks in the 90's, then it got cool and went into the low 49's and a couple times into the upper 30's at night for a week or so, then a week or two back in the 90's, now in the 70's and 80's. We'd have rain every day for 2 weeks, then 2 weeks with no rain over and over.

Fargo ND cherry tree is 2 weeks early.

Weatherford Texas here… the heat is killing most everything I have 😢. And trying to grow in this ridiculous red dirt is not helping either. Love you guys!!

Put some gypsum in those beds and you'll stop the blossom end rot, it's a calcium deficiency in the soil.

This is my first year of having any gardening space except for four tomato and four pepper plants next to the house. Tried to start seeds WAY TOO EARLY and lost all of them. Planted one variety each of melon, okra, and squash, and they are coming up. Started some various seeds for a fall that are just starting to sprout. IF the melon and okra are good, I will send y’all a sample for your own use. Praise Him for the showers of blessings! I rejoice in your success.

Hello again, another great video in the high tunnel.

Hey Danny and Wanda I'm in Western North Carolina and my garden is struggling. Our grass is dry and crunchy. We desperately need rain. I lost my greenbeans to Mexican bean Beatles. I have to say this has been my worst gardening year in the 5 years that I've been gardening.
