Resetting Garden Beds and Planting Native Flowers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- As my garden gets bigger I've realized I can't work on all of it at the same time. I've come to accept that It is best to just work on the garden in chunks and this chunk of my garden has been pretty much idle all summer. In this video I go over how I rebuild a garden bed that isn't growing well, planting fall vegetables like peas, and adding a new native wildflower patch!

I love the very first statement about the disgusting cucumber 😂 I feel better now about my disgusting long beans 😅 thank u for making gardening real ❤
A good garden fork is my favorite tool. My only suggestion is to rock the fork both ways when aerating. That'll get even more of your amendments into the openings.
100% it is a great tool to have!
That tool is called a ho mi digger and is Korean. It’s very versatile and I use mine to weed, scrape soil and cultivate, dig holes for planting etc. You can get one with a long handle too.
I have seen them refereed to deferent things before so thanks for the correct name and origin! I will look into longer handle ones as it is a practical and fun tool in the garden.
Thanks, I've been steeling myself to downsize the monster Shasta daisies. I had no idea what I was sowing when I put those in...
Haha, they are truly beasts!
Love the realness Jacques thank you!
When sowing small wildflower seeds by the broadcast method I like to mix them with sand. That way the seeds seem to get more evenly distributed and you can see where you have sown them using the sand as a reference.
Congratulations on 300k subscribers Jacques! 🎉
Look at planting some trees in there for shade and protect the soil from evaporation. I love the idea of regenerative agriculture using fruit/tree guilds. Plants don’t love direct sun anyway. The tree canopy will give you all the organic matter you need, also eventually wean from added supplements. I have been experimenting with planting the same crop in many different parts of the garden, including raised pots in a 75% mix of leaf mulch, the plants growing in ground in direct sun is infested with spider mites. The plants on the other side in pots are flawless and 3-4 times the size. It’s crazy.
I have been wanting to experiment with more natural shade like this, I just need to find the right plants to pair up. Thanks for sharing!
That's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
Thank you!
Not me giggling about “removing” arugula. The one year I got lazy and let it bolt. It weirdly loved my natural clay pathways.
It sprouted in the bed of my truck. It's indestructible. But the farm restaurant where I work, has arugula on a few items of their menu.
It is for sure a trooper and will just keep growing and getting more and more bitter!
I love your garden you got a lote going on I am thinking about doing the same planting peas I hope your peas and your sunflowers do well in your garden do a harvest video If you can I would like to see your pea harvest
Sugar daddy peas got me! Are they gonna have Kevin's faces on the pods 😂
Seriously, we need a rebrand!
The Garden is Beautifull....🤝🤝
Was going to plant fall crops,but we are so dying need of rain here in Kansas. For now just going to clean up the garden.
It is interesting to hear about gardening out there and banking on the rain. We are so accustomed to no rain from spring through most of fall that we just inherently rely on irrigation.
My nieces were as unimpressed as you were with the “hurricane” in San Diego. The oldest, who was visiting her sister there, texted a video saying, “Here’s the hurricane. It rained.” They had been in Jacksonville, North Carolina when Hurricane Florence made landfall, and they had to evacuate. That was a hurricane!
Haha, I have been in a few real hurricanes and this one was not at all that, pretty silly in the end.
Thank you! Learned a lot. After a long hot summer it is refreshing to start again!!
Thank you for sharing. The drought had been super tough for us here in Texas, so we have had to amend with so much peat/coir to the soil in our beds. I have compassion for your struggle. Have you tried Amish Snap peas? It is a family favorite
I haven't tried the Amish snaps or Amish Paste tomatoes, I really need to try some Amish varieties.
Amish paste is a better producer than the Roma’s and has a better taste.
Bien ahí con el cuidado de las plantas
Living in East County your videos are always good reminders for me to go out and do the things I need to do in the garden, just threw in a wildflower patch as well, hoping I didn't fail somehow 😭
Best of luck on the wild flowers!
I threw out wildflower seeds once still laugh over it. What grew were mostly all the weeds I spent time pulling in the rest of the garden. One of my massive failures but all is well. No doubt your seeds will be much better these days.definitely helps to have a sense of humor in the garden. 😂
I think what is best to treat the problem of these chunky soil stuff is to stir the soil to allow air to enter in between and to immerse the soil with plenty of water before planting to lighten the cohesive masses and remove any excess salts in the soil, and then we proceed with fertilization the soil.
I did water deeply before breaking it up but the surface crusted over so quickly. I agree with your workflow!
This is the exact video that i needed at the perfect time. Thank you!
Very glad to hear it!
I always forget to cut the old plants off soil level and leave in the roots.....just pulled up my tomato plants. Need to get some beds ready for garlic planting soon. I'm not really ready for fall but guess I don't get a say in the matter, lol 😂
Garlic season is upon us! I still need to figure out where I want to plant mine.
Las plantas son una bendicion de la naturaleza
Thanks!💚🐸😎
Que lindo jardín de frutas
Love your channel ❤️ I live in North County and your information is very helpful.
Glad to hear it!
I've never been so early
I’ve been earlier 😌
Hermoso jardín
I like the flower sample pot. My daughters pulled my flower bulb markers and as they started to come up I thought some were weeds and pulled them.
It happened to me back in the day not knowing how the plants looked as they were emerging, I do a sample pot now too with things I haven't grown before. We live and learn.
It is a smart low effort way to figure it out!
Can you tell us about your dogs and how are managing space with planting and pet ownership?
The yard basically has two spaces that make sense for a garden which is where the gardens are placed. The rest is paved or close enough to the house to be in full shade anyway. So we fenced off, with 2 ft tall hardware cloth, the areas that made sense for gardening and then left the rest open. They don't really mess with anything else and don't try to eat random things so I haven't put much thought into making sure everything is "dog safe" outside of the fenced area.
Yes oce jacques ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤i nice
I hurt my back so it's been hard for me to turn my compost pile. I made chicken poop soup. Smells terrible but but sure does work when mixed with some water
Bueno trabajo
Buen video 😃
That compost is EVERYTHING I’m in Long Beach and I wonder what a no dig garden would be like in this zone.
Should do great up there, you get more rain than us so it will probably even better!
Awww shoot ! If that rain don’t come I’ll do a little dance 💃 that usually does it .
Excelente
I was finally able to bring my plants out from underneath the shade cloth yesterday into full sun since the temps have finally started to cool, hopefully it will help to ripen my goji berries and stop my dwarf figs from shriveling 😅
I need to experiment with more shade cloth!
Thank you so much for another everyday gardening walkthrough. They are so helpful and enjoyable. Is that little triangle weeder available for sale at Botanical Interests? I didn’t see it but maybe it’s sold out?
They actually do carry it and It looks better than the one I got so now I am ordering one as well haha www.botanicalinterests.com/products/handy-hoe
Good
Muy buena informacion
buenísima
Genial
Hey what brand of spading fork do you all use? Any recs?
Siembras
Chevere
Do you have any suggestions on replanting a Jamaican sorel plant from a bed to a pot to overwinter?
How big is your plant? Mine get pretty large and I can't picture it being easy to move into a pot. Maybe try rooting cuttings as a back up, letting them root well in pots to take inside. I don't know what zone you are growing in, what the climate is like to offer any suggestions about the main plant. I would do the cuttings as back up before trying anything with the Sorrel though.
I think digging it out sooner and letting it try to acclimate to a pot now (outside) would be easier than doing it all at once and bringing it inside right away. Maybe you can dig out half of it now and try to pot it and have the other half as insurance.
@@bethb8276 Hi Beth, I am in 8a TX, these girls are huge! I did not realize how large they got. I have three in a 4x4 space. They took over half my 4x8 bed lol. I started these by seed and I do have 6 more. I was very fortunate with the seeding and would like to do a hedge with these and add more.
If I could upload photos I'd show you how large these plants are.
@wendygonzalez2532 Since you already have 6 more plants I would follow Jacques advice. Normally in my zone 10b which is subtropical they overwinter easily. In your zone I would probably try to keep some potted and inside, and one mulched well outside with incandescent Christmas tree lights and a tree cover just to see how they hold up. I always like to have rooted cuttings of anything I care about not losing as back ups though.
I had never heard of the Mycorrhizel before , can you explain how you use it? Found it on Amazon
It is a fungi that forms symbiotic relationships with some plants. The fungi will grow vast underground networks that are surrounding and attached to the roots of other plants. The mycorrhizae will transport water and nutrients around up to the plants in exchange for nutrients they need. I know it sound crazy and sci fi but it is a well documented thing. The catch is that they don't work on all plants, for example Brassicas don't form a relationship with them.
I find weeds really grow well in big clumps of hard soil??? Also, you plant your brassicas close together. I guess I could plant mine closer together.
Same
They do seem to love the hard ground. I plant some closer together and some further apart, the closer ones will end up being smaller in size which is nice when you don't want a basketball sized cauliflower.
Hi. Are those wildflowers native to So Cal? Here in 5b/6a many would need 6 weeks or more of cold stratification to germinate. Other areas can put native flower seeds in the frig to accomplish the same goal. Hope it works out!
Some are native to So Cal but a fair critique is that this is a generalized California mix so not truly native to my region across all species. The fridge vernalization move is a good one, I should try and see if I get better germination.
Where do you get the amonzite? I’ve been looking for it in the N. FL area and online.
Other similar products are Rock Dust or I think I've also seen "glacial dust" or "volcanic rock powder" they are all basically the same thing.
I have 3 sets of tomatoes. It’s 10/03/2023 and the plants have been growing for at least 4 1/2 months. They have flowers, but no tomatoes. 2 sets are in the Sun, 3 sets are in partial Sun. Should I just pull them out, or wait? I have the same problem my squash, cucumbers, and pumpkin.
Gotta ask.... it's that huge plant by your compost bin what i think it is???
I believe it’s a Queen of Madeira!
Ha!! Thanks! Never heard of it looks like it's got gorgeous blooms!
It is pride of Madeira, a stunning flowering bush.
I need help with my garden forking! I'm using the same sort of technique as you demonstrate in the video, but my clay soil is so hard that I've broken two forks in the past year! What can I do differently?
Pickaxe/Mattock
So for full hard soil I like to water lightly multiple times over a day to help breakdown the top couple of inches. After that I will use the fork to loosen as deep as I can without major work. Then follow that with more light waterings through the day and keep working it with the fork until its hard again. Just repeat this over and over until you are happy. It will be more upfront work but it will give you better results with lower overall effort and no broken forks!
I was wondering if there is any way to get the organic straw when I live in Napa?
I would imagine that up there you could find it, check for local feed store for horses and livestock. Otherwise your best bet is online!
Thank you so much!!! I love your channel ❤️
Cultivos
Do you sell seeds ?

Why are my plants not growing big and my broccoli are just small
Could be lack of space, water, or nutrients leading to it not being able to thrive. Another possibility is that it was root bound on transplant and is struggling to branch out.
Your editing is great. Can you talk a little slower? Do you have some great information.
I can try! It is hard switching between short form and long form content sometimes I end up talking too fast!
@@jacquesinthegarden understood
Also meant to say ‘you give some great information’🤪
It looks disgusting? Maybe you should make plastic vegetables, they never decompose, smell or attract insects .. yup, the real life is too much for you.
??????
😮 He is only remarking that the plant is dead now and it was time for it to go. I'm confused by your vitriol?
@@Disabled.Megatron no no, I’m just saying its a natural thing .. call it semantics or whatever, maybe saying the ‘real life is too much for you’ is a tad sharp, I could have been much more critical, his first videos were very good but as success creeps the content begins to stink .. is that better ?
@@bethb8276 its not vitriolic, its slightly critical in a commercial way is what I would call it. He makes money from his content, all that education he possesses is becoming a simplification of tediousness .. he actually has broken down how to use a trowel .. its a trowel .. dig ?
@hanzketchup859 what a hater. How bout you just stop watching if you don't like it?
Exelente y quién te ayuda hacer la cosecha? 🧺 es un lugar bendecido
