For those of you wanting to build these garden beds, here's a tutorial! ua-cam.com/video/SAzAovC2fqY/v-deo.html And here is a tutorial for the tall vegetable trellises: ua-cam.com/video/2MF5QHitZg0/v-deo.html
Excellent garden! ❤️ When we put in our first front yard garden, I was worried how the neighbors I hadn’t talked to would react. It only took a couple of weeks of working on it before most of the people on our street would stop and check it out. Everybody was extremely positive about it. It quickly became a regular stop for the ones who walked/ran, and a reason to get outside, hangout with the neighbors , and try some of anything in season for the others. Hope your front yard garden brings you as much joy as ours did.
Yes, that's true here too! I was not expecting that community aspect at all. I have given countless tours to passersby. It's been so great getting to know everyone in an age when most people tend to stay isolated in their homes!
Thats amazing u r so dope. If society smartens up front yard raised beds will be so commonplace that conventional lawns will cause more people to stop and stare at an unusual and useless waste of water. Cheers!
I also have a front yard garden but much smaller than yours. I live in a row house and so it is very noticeable by all my neighbors. One nice thing that happened with my neighbor to the right of me-he was so busy that he couldn’t keep up with mowing his lawn,which was very weedy,so I suggested that I would be willing to plant flowers at our adjoining fence for him,and he suggested that I could plant his entire lawn to anything I wanted-so I did!!! It was only 10x10 but between his and mine , and the fact that I put up supports and plastic row covers for the winter, I am able to garden for 10 out of 12 months in Zone 7a
I love stories like this!! It's funny I NEVER intended to put my garden in the front yard, but that was the hand I was dealt with my house. I hated it in the beginning, but I know ALL my neighbors because of it. Everyone who walks their dog stops to talk to me. People ask questions. I've given tours to random pedestrians. I'm seeing other gardens in people's front yards in my neighborhood in the last few years too. It's really been an amazing side effect of gardening in the front yard!
This is fantastic! I wish everybody did this as much as they were able. After initial setup, this puts a lot of change back in your pocket. I like that you put as much effort into how the garden looks, as you did in the actual gardening. Front yard gardens really should be lovely, as it helps inspire more people to convert their grass into something more productive.
You know, I always thought I spent more money than I got back but last year (because I am a nerd) I made a spreadsheet and actually added up the per pound price of everything I grew and multiplied it by pounds I grew and I made a profit! So it can actually be a money-saving hobby!
I agree! It makes me so sad thinking about all the people that live in great growing areas, have a ton of land, fluffy, nutrient rich soil & THEY DONT GARDEN!!!
Additionally, there are many communities where people cannot do what you're doing because they are covenant controlled, and growing vegetables in the front yard is not within the rules... We live in that sort of place right now, but are getting out soon.
@@ReSprout The black also looks really elegant and modern. If you don't already have one a video on making the trellises would be wonderful. As well as the wood and stains/paint on your raised bed.
I live in an urban area too, though the sun hits my backyard, my neighbors are close and there's only a chain link fence between us so I was very mindful to build a garden and trellis system that looked tailored, organized and not lower the value of their homes by making a messy garden. I have black painted raised beds as well and my trellis follow both fences to create beautiful 8f tall green walls. I did build a nice 8x10 greenhouse, a smaller 4x6 one for tomatoes (it's very humid here and blithe was a problem so I settled for cramming 9 tomato plants in one small greenhouse). My main greenhouse has 2 shelves for seedlings and microgreens and E shaped raised beds with trellises in the back for winter peas/ summer greenhouse cucumbers. I built a simplified pergola over my deck for grapes and scrarlet runner beans, it's like a cocoon of greens and flowers. I grow 50f of sweet peas, we never seem to have enough. I know this was a year ago but I can't imagine life without my greenhouse. I'd totally add a greenhouse. I did squeeze in 4 fruit trees across the yard, apricots and cherries are so popular with the kids. This year I'm removing my strawberries from the raised beds, we lost so many to moldiness and pest. That's why they grow them on hills with garden fabrics on farms, they rot on the flat soil. I decided to move them to a grow tower so the fruit wouldn't sit on the soil. You have a beautiful garden, wish more people would build and invest in growing food and landscaping with edible plants.
Yes I'm thinking greenhouse too! And I love the sound of that pergola. I've been thinking of putting something similar over the driveway, like a carport, so I can run grapes and things on it. That will be a "conversation" with the hubs certainly! 🤣
When I meet my neighbors walking my dog, and they ask me where I live, I always say "the house with the crazy garden on the corner" LOL and they all know which house I'm talking about. 😂
For your cabbages, I’ve read that some people wrap the head in panty hose to keep the cabbage moths from depositing their eggs directly on the head. And because the panty hose are stretchy, the heads can keep growing.
I'm a gardiner also, and I like all the abundance of food, you got growing in your front yard. May God bless, and keep you and your family. From Mildred and Chris Pendleton
Loved this tour! It shows just how much you can grow in a small space. This is so encouraging because we just purchased a home downtown, so it has a smaller yard. Thanks for the inspiration! ❤️🌱
Sophia what is your first frost date where you live? I have been thinking along the same lines lately with my broccoli. I already spinach in the winter and my fall broccoli was in my garden until a month past frost this year and they were in great shape.
Great garden!! You had my attention. Im just getting started on gardening and there is so much to learn. I hope I can have a garden like yours one day.
You are so nice Max! I just cannot believe how many times this video has been seen. Blows my mind. I hope to make a video on the trellis soon. Stay tuned!
I would add the greenhouse, take out your fence line beds for the espalier trees, and plant your summer greens at the foot of your trellis veggies (the greens would get shape there.)
Your video just popped up on my home feed. If I’m being honest, I typically don’t watch channels that have less than 1k subscribers and typing that out, I see how that might sound terrible! But in my experience, the lower the subs, the lower the quality of video, HOWEVER, yours is quite the exception! I see you are a new channel and I was super blown away! I hope you keep it up and keep making videos cuz this one is great!! Also, I will stop being such a UA-cam snob! Amazing video, amazing garden. New subscriber here!! ♥️♥️♥️ God bless you and your family. Thanks for the inspiration
Your comment made my day Sparrows! Thank you for taking the time to respond. It's definitely hard when you're first starting out. You work your butt off to the sound of crickets sometimes, LOL. Everyone's comments and encouragement definitely help me keep going. I'm so glad this video popped up magically for you and you enjoyed it. :-)
I always correlate lower # of subs, with lower quality content, but since I started my channel, I've been getting to get out of that habit, and I've found some really awesome channels!
Me too! This video just popped up as a recommendation. The way I see it, UA-cam recommendations are not necessarily what you want, but what you need.😉. I’ve discovered many-too many to count-awesome videos I’ve would have never found on my own.
I am in the process of moving my garden to my front yard! Backstory, I have 5.25 acres and a 'perfect' garden plot that is fenced in, but on the back of my property. This summer garden has been a busy and I feel like moving it to the always visible front yard would help it tremendously. I loved seeing this. It just strengthens my resolve that I am making the right choice! ❤️😍
OMG, 5.25 acres?!?! Is the back so terrible? Is it really shady? (That's my problem with my backyard.) OMG, I think I would die if I had to tear down or move my garden.
Not sure if you're looking to build this (or something similar), but I just came out with a build video on the trellises. ua-cam.com/video/2MF5QHitZg0/v-deo.html Enjoy!
It looks so gorgeous!! Great video and informative content, thank you! I wonder if you would ever be able to do a tour or list of the tools and equipment needed to maintain your garden? Also how you manage your annual calendar planning for planting. 🙏🏽
WOW is all I can say! Amazing! I live in one of those places with the HOA and they wont "lettuce" grow gardens in the front so....:o( Gotta be in the back but the front would be so much better!!
632 pound last year!? WOW!!! Thats 287 kg of food a year. 0.7kg a day of organic and healthy food p/day!!! Congrats from Uruguay! (Note we don't use imperial, so the math! haha! Keep the good work!!!
So excited about your front yard garden. I also have a front yard garden. One year (my best year) I got over 1100 lbs out of the garden. Of course that included alot of heavy crops like potatoes, pumpkin, corn and tomatoes. I have alot of insect pressure and have been unable to grow any squash, or cucumber well. This year I put some turkeys in the garden (I can get away with that where I live) and they demolished the squash bugs, beetles and grubs. I put them in the garden after the seedlings had grown enough that the turkeys didn't harm them. And took them out of the garden by mid August when the tomatoes were ripening (they like to eat tomatoes). I loved the trellis'. When you add all of your growing spaces together, you have a lot of garden. I'm looking forward to your other videos. Another youtuber that has really used his spaces well for growing is One Yard Revolution. I learned a lot from him.
Excellent. I'm jealous. I wish I had the area you have to garden. That said, I'm the crazy neighbor here. We moved to a condo in a semi-urban enclave in Ohio several years ago. We've devoted the foundation-area of our unit not to bushes and marigolds, but to an intensive organic garden. We're mostly in-ground, but grow eight tomatoes and most of our peppers in large, self-watering containers to take advantage of our patio. And I've met nearly all of my neighbors, who stop by, amazed at the bounty.
It really is amazing what you can get out of a small space if you have the right soil and right plants. And I do love how gardens bring neighbors together. It was definitely not something I was expecting but it's been amazing. :-)
just found you! I converted our front yard when we moved in (april 2019) and it has brought so much conversation and happiness to our neighbourhood! Its so cool to see someone else did it too! If someone is thinking about it, its time to do it for sure! Excited to see more of your videos :) Cheers from Heather in BC Canada
That is so awesome! I have to say, I've experienced the same thing, and it was a completely unexpected but AMAZING side effect of having a front yard garden. I know so many of my neighbors because of it and have the best conversations.
I just found your channel. I love your trellis garden and it is giving me lots of ideas for my own garden. Your videos are clear, concise, and entertaining. Thank you!
@@ReSprout I really liked how vibrant the garden is I live in a relatively hot country But very green here And it's very easy to grow everything I pick the leaves and feed the rabbits and there is a very convenient order And I really liked how fragrant everything is in your garden
@@ReSprout es un honor gracias a ti ! Yo doy tu suscriptora y seguiré visitando tu hermoso canal ! Y cuando tu tengas voluntad serás bienvenida s mi humilde canal! Saludos desde Aguascalientes ags México 👩🏻🌾🇲🇽
Love your trellis area. If you want any corn harvest, remember that corn is a heavy feeder. It needs lots of nitrogen. Corn also does best when planted in square blocks for better pollination.
Yeah, corn has never done well for me. But I never put it in the best spot and never plant enough, so definitely my fault! It's so hard when you have a small space.
I thankfully live where there is no HOA. Out of respect to my neighbors I put up a beautiful white picket fence. Then I proceeded to fill the yard with raised beds. Outlined the fence with flowers all the around. Has been the best thing I ever did.
Haha! Yes I do think the neighbors appreciate all my privacy hedges, too. Though I do catch a lot of people peeking through, because they are so fascinated. ;-)
Fruit trees are the only things you are missing in your garden paradise! It doesn't look like you have any problems seeding so I vote fruit trees! Your garden looks wonderful! Really enjoyed your tour. Thanks for sharing!
I watch food related content especially gardening every day. My motto is 'grow food not lawns', 🥔🥕🥒🥬🥦Kudos! HOA not giving you any grief? Your front yard is awesome.👏🏽👏🏽 It's easy to see a lot of love and care went into planning and layout. You really reap what you sow❣ Btw, UA-cam's algorithms are wishy washy. I would have subbed long ago. 😎
Amen! The world does NOT NEED more lawns! Luckily, I do not have an HOA but my mom does, so I'm very familiar with the craziness. And I'm so glad you found me! 💕
GREAT JOB! Making the Most of Suburbia space. More people should be doing just like You. I have 10 acres but most is trees, so I have a quarter acre dedicated to garden and food forest space. :)
Seems like such a silly tip right? LOL. When I read that in the Market Gardener, I was like, WELL DUH, why didn't I think of that before?! Definitely a game-changer!
I've thought about doing this since my front yard would be a great area but I was hesitant to do so. It's fairly large and received full sun morning to early afternoon. If I do I will be using containers and grow bags. I'll make trellises for certain vegetables. This would be more doable for me at my age. Thank you for sharing.
Take it slow! More than anything, gardening has taught me the Japanese concept of "kaizen," gradual improvement over time. It's ok to be imperfect. Just strive to do better each time, each season, each sowing, each bed, each harvest, and one day you'll just look at your garden and wonder how the heck you made all that. :-D
I garden the traditional way ie. in the back yard, but the sun is best in my huge front yard. Love your spunky display in your front yard, gives me the guts to try it myself!
You're so nice Carolyn! Believe me, I WANTED to garden in the backyard, but it was just a cave back there, and it was also a smaller space to boot. So I figured if I was gonna do the front yard, I was gonna OWN it! :-)
That is probably the nicest thing anyone can say to a gardener. 😀That being said, I be will completely forthright with everyone in saying I weeded and mowed and deadheaded and edged like a madwoman before I shot this video, LOL.
I love how clean and organized is your garden. Remain me I should work a little bit harder in mine. LOL. I love 💕 garden since I was a little kid 👧, it’s such a great therapy. Beautiful garden!!
Looks like slugs or cucumber beetles . . . or, both. I just use the tried and true squish method on cucumber beetles and have found that about a week of every day visits relieves the pest pressure. You don't have to get rid of them. Just knock them back. The slugs are a pain. I don't use Sluggo because I worry about what else might eat it. Friends of mine swear by the beer in a plate method. I just make sure to keep everything clean and healthy with regular harvests. They eat the wilting/diseased/dying stuff. I also found that if I leave a few leaves that are in their delicious zone near the bed, they go to the pile instead of to my plants. Good job all around! Kudos!
beautiful garden....I find that if I put out bird feeders with seed everyday they don't eat my garden things as much, sometimes not at all...I just put the feeders away from the plants I don't want them near....once a bird finds the feeders he will tell friends so they all want to go to the feeders ....
It looks beautiful and it's kind of my goal. I wanted to do something like this and I'm on my way to achieve my goal. I don't know why people are obsessed with the paved and grass filled lawns that can grow nothing to eat. I sarted growing some veggies during pandamic and now I'm not going to stop.
Haha! I have an INSANE record keeping system. I once put it in a powerpoint presentation for beginning gardeners and they were like, OMG DO WE HAVE TO DO THAT?!?! 😂😂
LOVE this garden. We just moved to a place with a fairly plain front lawn. But it gets TONS of sun. We've got hundreds of tulips on the way, some hyacinths, and other flowers. Going to make a veggie garden with pollinator areas planted around. Your garden is a great inspiration!
I love your food garden, specifically the front one🍎❤ I started a garden at all surrounding yard but I had to stop the one at my front yard cause my neighbor did like it and she turns on my enemy! You just gaive me the courage to keep on my front yard project! Thank you and congrats for your garden.
You can totally do both a small greenhouse and a bunch of espalier trees in that space! Especially if you choose semi-dwarf varieties. And the blossoms are so fabulous on stone fruit, and on pomegranate, as well as fragrant on citrus, so it makes such a happy place any spot you put them. Also, definitely consider Columnar Apples if they will grow in your zone. They save you the espalier hassle and produce quicker. Put in one each Scarlet Sentinel, Golden Sentinel, and North Pole (if you can find it). Or whichever will grow in NY.
Thank you for sharing. Took me awhile to decide putting my garden on my East front and South side yard. Only spots I get sun because of so many pecan trees.
Would love to see an instructional video on your trellises system. I see metal bracing at the ground level is that protection from rot or structural support? Either way, it is an excellent use of space...great job!
I love it. I stumbled across your video looking for ideas for front yard gardens. All of my sun is in the front but I live in a neighborhood, so I don’t want to offend the neighbors ❤
That was my situation Kathy! My backyard is tiny and a horrible full shade 23 hours out of the day. So this is how this all came to pass. I did my best to keep it nice looking since I knew it would be on display.
We just moved into a new house abs are planning our garden...I’ve been wanting to watermelons for years, and now I know I can...had no idea you could grow them on a trellis...the hammock idea has changed our plans a bit. We plan to have about 60 plants and now watermelons have been added thanks to this video.
Thanks for the hammock question. I actually incorporated it into and went over it more in depth in my new trellis build video! 😃 ua-cam.com/video/2MF5QHitZg0/v-deo.html
If I grew veges in my front yard it would all be stolen. All my fruit in the front yard got stolen. I always share with the community but I hate stealing. Your gardens are amazing!
OMG, really?? People stole it?? I've been really lucky. We live in a semi-urban area where it's a big no-no to walk on other people's properties and because I'm on such a busy street people would see the thieves. I've had neighbors over the years inform me about people on my property (always friends or contractors), but still it's great to know that everyone is looking out for each other.
Just found you today! Subscribed! I’m intrigued by your idea to make your driveway garden larger. I have an idea or two: place another temporary shelf 4’ above the driveway for more shade space . Line each side of the driveway with moveable raised beds( i.e.- lockable casters on the bottom and lay down sawdust beneath the drain holes of the planter . That will keep your concrete from iron stains, and it will help cool the bed from all the heat of the driveway’s concrete surface, And bonus, you’ll be creating compost for the next year. Love your pergola idea over the driveway expanse for grapevine. Those vines are very heavy once they begin fruiting (3 yrs). So make it very sturdy and mount the top structure higher than the gutter line so the vines and fruit won’t get knocked off when you want to start using your garage for parking again. While you’re waiting for the grapevines to fruition plant a blooming flower climber like roses or trumpet vine. **zephire rose is a pink, fast growing climber with NO thorns! Nice fragrance too. If you direct the gutters’ rain down go to the ground, you can block the end , drill a half inch hole , connect it to a soaker hose and let the rain water the driveway garden (if it ever rains again!) Finally, in the center of the drive way, you can set up your plant stand and neighborhood benches. Have kids? let them sell lemonade and garden tours a few days a week!
I've been thinking just that! Some large rectangular planters, the type you see at outoor dining areas, that act as dividers. I think I can take up the whole front third of the driveway like that and box out a nice little patio area on my driveway. (I'm gonna have to sell that one hard to the hubs, LOL)
Check out those window boxes I had in the middle of this video! You will love those. You can mount them to your balcony railing and grow A LOT in those boxes!
Well...hello there.....nice garden and herb area. In my opinion you need to cover your beds from the seedlings to harvest, otherwise you crop will be eaten in a short time or later on! by the pests! You have to water regularly, moisty soil all time. Use wooden trays/bed for your herbs, the water got to get out when there is too much water in the trays, metal is no go.....smiles. You could cover the walking areas with a fiber cloth to prevent the weed, because suddenly the weed will grow in your beds as well!The pests: use predators when you see the pests, they are very effective/useful. Use the covers and you might get close to your goal.....stay safe and enjoy life and your garden....Thomas, Denmark
For my organic insecticide I use 2-3 clove of garlic in 1 liter of water. But now I use 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp liquid/castile soap (not dish washing soap), 1 tsp neem oil (any oil will do) mix all ingredients in 1 liter of water. Mix well and preferable spray on the leaves and under the leaves after the sun sets. Don't use under the sun. Spray once per day until the pests are gone. Hope this will help.
Gorgeous setups!! I especially love the trellises. I'm thinking of doing the same concept may try using cattle panels sense I have some. I'll check our the way yiu did yours. Thanks Missouri Wrightchk
Cattle panels would word really well too, and they wouldn't be white, which is one of the drawbacks (I think) of the trellis netting. It clashes a bit with the black structure.
This should answer all your questions on the trellis build! ua-cam.com/video/2MF5QHitZg0/v-deo.html I think cattle panels would work with this, you would just need a different way of mounting than mine.

@@ReSprout you call that a small space? I would love to have that size of garden. How big is it exactly?

Yes I'm definitely leaning towards the greenhouse! I like how you're thinking with the greens at the foot of the espalier. 🤔
Wow beautiful garden.. well organised too.. I love the way you planted bushes.. in the boundary , no separate fence required and a lot of privacy..
I need those bushes with all the pedestrians and traffic in front of my house! Love them!
Your video just popped up on my home feed. If I’m being honest, I typically don’t watch channels that have less than 1k subscribers and typing that out, I see how that might sound terrible! But in my experience, the lower the subs, the lower the quality of video, HOWEVER, yours is quite the exception! I see you are a new channel and I was super blown away! I hope you keep it up and keep making videos cuz this one is great!! Also, I will stop being such a UA-cam snob! Amazing video, amazing garden. New subscriber here!! ♥️♥️♥️ God bless you and your family. Thanks for the inspiration
Same!
Your comment made my day Sparrows! Thank you for taking the time to respond. It's definitely hard when you're first starting out. You work your butt off to the sound of crickets sometimes, LOL. Everyone's comments and encouragement definitely help me keep going. I'm so glad this video popped up magically for you and you enjoyed it. :-)
You both are so kind. Thanks for the lovely comments on this Christmas Eve. Can't ask for anything better!
I always correlate lower # of subs, with lower quality content, but since I started my channel, I've been getting to get out of that habit, and I've found some really awesome channels!
Me too! This video just popped up as a recommendation. The way I see it, UA-cam recommendations are not necessarily what you want, but what you need.😉. I’ve discovered many-too many to count-awesome videos I’ve would have never found on my own.
I am in the process of moving my garden to my front yard! Backstory, I have 5.25 acres and a 'perfect' garden plot that is fenced in, but on the back of my property. This summer garden has been a busy and I feel like moving it to the always visible front yard would help it tremendously. I loved seeing this. It just strengthens my resolve that I am making the right choice! ❤️😍
OMG, 5.25 acres?!?! Is the back so terrible? Is it really shady? (That's my problem with my backyard.) OMG, I think I would die if I had to tear down or move my garden.
Amazing garden!!! I love the layout... My HOA would never allow for a front yard garden... I love the idea.....
Haha! Yeah HOAs are the pits. You can probably hide some edibles in your foundation plantings, though, especially herbs!
I really enjoy watching your videos, your smart, funny and adorable. Taking tips for my garden every video. Thank you
You're so kind Shauna! Glad my video helped. That's my goal!
OH MY WORD, I AM in love! I can see a trellis row coming to my yard soon.. how clever! zone 4b Vermont
Glad you enjoyed Cherie! The trellises definitely help save space.
Not sure if you're looking to build this (or something similar), but I just came out with a build video on the trellises. ua-cam.com/video/2MF5QHitZg0/v-deo.html Enjoy!
Wow. So good you includes all links to all things you use in the garden. Makes it easy to replicate. Thank you. The more details the better. Well done
Thank you. I’m glad it helped!
Great 👌.... Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️
Would like to hear more about your watermelon hammocks made with t-shirts!
That's a great idea for a video!
It looks so gorgeous!! Great video and informative content, thank you! I wonder if you would ever be able to do a tour or list of the tools and equipment needed to maintain your garden? Also how you manage your annual calendar planning for planting. 🙏🏽
Great idea!! Those are great video topics. Stay tuned.
Absolutely beautiful. I'm starting to garden, and as a result of watching this video I have some great ideas. Thanks a million.🤗
So glad I helped! :-D
Your raised beds look solid,, I’m going to have to rebuild ours soon
These are version 2.0 for me. Definitely get a good wood protectant! That was my mistake on my first ones. I think they survived only 2-3 years!
@@ReSprout I want to try and get some good rail road cross ties
Good luck! I have no idea where to get something like that!
@@ReSprout I do,
You are such an inspiration! I already started my garden but not so organized. Will try to follow your lead. thank you!
Thank you Leonora!
WOW is all I can say! Amazing! I live in one of those places with the HOA and they wont "lettuce" grow gardens in the front so....:o( Gotta be in the back but the front would be so much better!!
Hehe, "lettuce." We have a similar sense of humor. ;-)
Golden beets from burpee have large leaves!!! And they are just beautiful!!! So is tour garden!!❤🌿
Thank you for the tip! I might look at that. Also yellow beets are easier to squeeze into recipes without the knowledge of spouses. 😈
632 pound last year!? WOW!!! Thats 287 kg of food a year. 0.7kg a day of organic and healthy food p/day!!! Congrats from Uruguay! (Note we don't use imperial, so the math! haha! Keep the good work!!!
It IS A LOT! I haven't done the numbers for this year yet, but I'm crossing my fingers I hit my goal!
So excited about your front yard garden. I also have a front yard garden. One year (my best year) I got over 1100 lbs out of the garden. Of course that included alot of heavy crops like potatoes, pumpkin, corn and tomatoes. I have alot of insect pressure and have been unable to grow any squash, or cucumber well. This year I put some turkeys in the garden (I can get away with that where I live) and they demolished the squash bugs, beetles and grubs. I put them in the garden after the seedlings had grown enough that the turkeys didn't harm them. And took them out of the garden by mid August when the tomatoes were ripening (they like to eat tomatoes). I loved the trellis'. When you add all of your growing spaces together, you have a lot of garden. I'm looking forward to your other videos. Another youtuber that has really used his spaces well for growing is One Yard Revolution. I learned a lot from him.
I would love to keep turkeys or chickens! They're definitely good garden workers. Congrats on the 1100lbs! I'm hoping to break 1000 this year! :-)
Amazingly inspiring! How did you get your hubby/family on board?
I am blessed with a hubby who doesn't care too much about what others think and loves me a whole lot! 😍
I seen many videos on garden bcz m also interested in but ur idea ur garden is amazing really helpful for me when I started my garden
Just stumbled upon this channel . Loved the trellises and the tour. Was very informative .What zone is this? Thanks.
Hi Tenzerta! I'm in Zone 7A on Long Island Island in New York. Glad you liked the tour!
I just made a build video for the trellis if you're interested! Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/2MF5QHitZg0/v-deo.html
Absolutely love the black!.... thanks for sharing ...your garden is beautiful 😍🙌🏻💕
Yay! Glad you like the black! It definitely got some double-takes by our neighbors. 😂
Your bug damage looks like slug damage-try Sluggo in the evening .
I'll check that out! Thank you.
Try putting a board at an angle on the ground up against one of your beds flip it the next day if there are slugs or snails that's your problem
Excellent. I'm jealous. I wish I had the area you have to garden. That said, I'm the crazy neighbor here. We moved to a condo in a semi-urban enclave in Ohio several years ago. We've devoted the foundation-area of our unit not to bushes and marigolds, but to an intensive organic garden. We're mostly in-ground, but grow eight tomatoes and most of our peppers in large, self-watering containers to take advantage of our patio. And I've met nearly all of my neighbors, who stop by, amazed at the bounty.
It really is amazing what you can get out of a small space if you have the right soil and right plants. And I do love how gardens bring neighbors together. It was definitely not something I was expecting but it's been amazing. :-)
Some cities have bylaws against this for some reason. So check before you do it
TRUE! I can never understand those places, but, yes, make sure you check! Or just "forget" to check and do it anyways. ;-)
I'd still do it, fuck em
just found you! I converted our front yard when we moved in (april 2019) and it has brought so much conversation and happiness to our neighbourhood! Its so cool to see someone else did it too! If someone is thinking about it, its time to do it for sure! Excited to see more of your videos :) Cheers from Heather in BC Canada
That is so awesome! I have to say, I've experienced the same thing, and it was a completely unexpected but AMAZING side effect of having a front yard garden. I know so many of my neighbors because of it and have the best conversations.
I just found your channel. I love your trellis garden and it is giving me lots of ideas for my own garden. Your videos are clear, concise, and entertaining. Thank you!
Yay! 💪 That's my aim!
Your garden is so beautiful .. ❤️❤️ Cultivation is a beautiful art .. From Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 🇱🇰 🇱🇰 🇱🇰
I’d say add a greenhouse! You could do so much with one!
Yes, that's what I'm leaning towards!
I have an acre and a half in my backyard and this still makes me want to plant in my front yard lol
Haha! Well you could put the same thing in your backyard, definitely! I was forced up front by my lack of sun in the backyard and here I am today.
This is so breathtakingly beautiful and neat.
You're so kind, thank you!
Looks very cosy
Straight and to the point

I take that as a great compliment since it's a 20 minutes video! Thanks for sticking around! 😀
@@ReSprout I really liked how vibrant the garden is
I live in a relatively hot country
But very green here
And it's very easy to grow everything
I pick the leaves and feed the rabbits and there is a very convenient order
And I really liked how fragrant everything is in your garden

You popped up in my feed and I'm really enjoying the trellises and some of the ideas you implemented
Glad you found me! Thanks for visiting!
I just made a build video for the trellis if you're interested! Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/2MF5QHitZg0/v-deo.html
Love your trellis area. If you want any corn harvest, remember that corn is a heavy feeder. It needs lots of nitrogen. Corn also does best when planted in square blocks for better pollination.
Yeah, corn has never done well for me. But I never put it in the best spot and never plant enough, so definitely my fault! It's so hard when you have a small space.
Very beautiful garden. I like the black wood fence in the background and green and black mix very well. Vert neatly done.
Thank you! Yes, the black was definitely a BOLD choice. Took some spousal convincing. ;-)
It's lovely. This gave me so much inspiration for my garden - especially the way you did your trellises!!
Thank you Kim! Trellis build video coming soon. Stay tuned. :-)
Hi Kim, here's the promised trellis video! ua-cam.com/video/2MF5QHitZg0/v-deo.html
very good creations full of innovative and creative meanings that may bring success and blessings.
This is such an inspiration for our front lawn garden. I love how organized you are. Thank you for sharing.
L
Yay! So glad it was inspiring!
Beautiful garden!
I thought I was the only one who had a front yard garden.
Front yard gardens FTW! 🙌
This is my first year for garlic. Glad to have the idea of leaving one to flower
I think it worked well! I'm gonna do it again this year. 😀
I thankfully live where there is no HOA. Out of respect to my neighbors I put up a beautiful white picket fence. Then I proceeded to fill the yard with raised beds. Outlined the fence with flowers all the around. Has been the best thing I ever did.
Haha! Yes I do think the neighbors appreciate all my privacy hedges, too. Though I do catch a lot of people peeking through, because they are so fascinated. ;-)
Fruit trees are the only things you are missing in your garden paradise! It doesn't look like you have any problems seeding so I vote fruit trees! Your garden looks wonderful! Really enjoyed your tour. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for "visiting" my garden. :-) I definitely can't wait to get some fruit trees!
Your garden looks like fairy garden with lots of butterflies and bees 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,beautiful mam….
Thank you! 😃
This was fab, definitely going to use some of these techniques and ideas for my own vegetable garden.
Wonderful! Glad I helped. :-)
I watch food related content especially gardening every day. My motto is 'grow food not lawns', 🥔🥕🥒🥬🥦Kudos! HOA not giving you any grief? Your front yard is awesome.👏🏽👏🏽 It's easy to see a lot of love and care went into planning and layout. You really reap what you sow❣
Btw, UA-cam's algorithms are wishy washy. I would have subbed long ago. 😎
Amen! The world does NOT NEED more lawns! Luckily, I do not have an HOA but my mom does, so I'm very familiar with the craziness. And I'm so glad you found me! 💕
Excellent idea with the steaming pans. Save the landfill. 💚💚 Fantastic garden sunshine. 🌞🇨🇦
Also, save my lawnmower, because I kept running over those plastic ones and destroying both! LOL
I like your pavestone walkways. That will help extend your season
Tell me more! I need motivation to finish those pavers LOL.
My vegetable garden is in my front yard also! I adore it!🌿🥬🥦
I thought I would hate it but I love coming home to see it. Makes me so happy! 🥰
GREAT JOB! Making the Most of Suburbia space. More people should be doing just like You.
I have 10 acres but most is trees, so I have a quarter acre dedicated to garden and food forest space. :)
OMG I WISH I had 10 acres. I probably wouldn't know what to with myself, LOL.
The second crop of cucumbers is clutch! You have a beautiful garden =)
Seems like such a silly tip right? LOL. When I read that in the Market Gardener, I was like, WELL DUH, why didn't I think of that before?! Definitely a game-changer!
I've thought about doing this since my front yard would be a great area but I was hesitant to do so. It's fairly large and received full sun morning to early afternoon. If I do I will be using containers and grow bags. I'll make trellises for certain vegetables. This would be more doable for me at my age. Thank you for sharing.
Take it slow! More than anything, gardening has taught me the Japanese concept of "kaizen," gradual improvement over time. It's ok to be imperfect. Just strive to do better each time, each season, each sowing, each bed, each harvest, and one day you'll just look at your garden and wonder how the heck you made all that. :-D
I garden the traditional way ie. in the back yard, but the sun is best in my huge front yard. Love your spunky display in your front yard, gives me the guts to try it myself!
You're so nice Carolyn! Believe me, I WANTED to garden in the backyard, but it was just a cave back there, and it was also a smaller space to boot. So I figured if I was gonna do the front yard, I was gonna OWN it! :-)
This garden is immaculate
That is probably the nicest thing anyone can say to a gardener. 😀That being said, I be will completely forthright with everyone in saying I weeded and mowed and deadheaded and edged like a madwoman before I shot this video, LOL.
I love how clean and organized is your garden. Remain me I should work a little bit harder in mine. LOL. I love 💕 garden since I was a little kid 👧, it’s such a great therapy. Beautiful garden!!
I will let you on a secret... I tidied that garden for like THREE DAYS before I shot that video, LOL!
Looks like slugs or cucumber beetles . . . or, both. I just use the tried and true squish method on cucumber beetles and have found that about a week of every day visits relieves the pest pressure. You don't have to get rid of them. Just knock them back. The slugs are a pain. I don't use Sluggo because I worry about what else might eat it. Friends of mine swear by the beer in a plate method. I just make sure to keep everything clean and healthy with regular harvests. They eat the wilting/diseased/dying stuff. I also found that if I leave a few leaves that are in their delicious zone near the bed, they go to the pile instead of to my plants. Good job all around! Kudos!
Oh that interesting on leaving the piles to distract the slugs. I'm gonna have to try that!
beautiful garden....I find that if I put out bird feeders with seed everyday they don't eat my garden things as much, sometimes not at all...I just put the feeders away from the plants I don't want them near....once a bird finds the feeders he will tell friends so they all want to go to the feeders ....
It looks beautiful and it's kind of my goal. I wanted to do something like this and I'm on my way to achieve my goal. I don't know why people are obsessed with the paved and grass filled lawns that can grow nothing to eat. I sarted growing some veggies during pandamic and now I'm not going to stop.
You can do it! Foods Not Lawns!! :-D
Could you do one with your records system? Or even share the spreadsheets where you track planting/yield please? I'd love to see.
Haha! I have an INSANE record keeping system. I once put it in a powerpoint presentation for beginning gardeners and they were like, OMG DO WE HAVE TO DO THAT?!?! 😂😂
I know this is a SUPER old comment, but I finally did a video on my garden spreadsheet. Hope this helps! ua-cam.com/video/DFLbrwSwgaM/v-deo.html
LOVE this garden. We just moved to a place with a fairly plain front lawn. But it gets TONS of sun. We've got hundreds of tulips on the way, some hyacinths, and other flowers. Going to make a veggie garden with pollinator areas planted around. Your garden is a great inspiration!
Thank you! Food not lawns!!!!! :-D
Such a wonderfully organically maintained garden🙏👍✌🇬🇺🌺💕
Thank you Anthony! You're so kind. 💕
I love your food garden, specifically the front one🍎❤
I started a garden at all surrounding yard but I had to stop the one at my front yard cause my neighbor did like it and she turns on my enemy! You just gaive me the courage to keep on my front yard project! Thank you and congrats for your garden.
Keep going! I've found that presents in the form of fresh tomatoes to neighbors usually change people's minds. ;-)
You can totally do both a small greenhouse and a bunch of espalier trees in that space! Especially if you choose semi-dwarf varieties. And the blossoms are so fabulous on stone fruit, and on pomegranate, as well as fragrant on citrus, so it makes such a happy place any spot you put them. Also, definitely consider Columnar Apples if they will grow in your zone. They save you the espalier hassle and produce quicker. Put in one each Scarlet Sentinel, Golden Sentinel, and North Pole (if you can find it). Or whichever will grow in NY.
Ooooh, the columnar is a good idea! I've seen those in catalogs! Thanks for the reminder!
Please make more videos. You do a great job and made such a lovely garden.
I got one in the works right now! Thank you for the encouragement! :-)
Thank you for sharing. Took me awhile to decide putting my garden on my East front and South side yard. Only spots I get sun because of so many pecan trees.
Gardens need sun, good call!
Thanks for making your video its been inspiring for me
What an exciting and inspiring garden!! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Would love to see an instructional video on your trellises system. I see metal bracing at the ground level is that protection from rot or structural support? Either way, it is an excellent use of space...great job!
Hi Crystal, it's mostly for support, but there is the added benefit of protection too. I hope to making a build video in the spring!
Thanks for the video request for the trellis build. Here it is! Just went live! ua-cam.com/video/2MF5QHitZg0/v-deo.html
I love it. I stumbled across your video looking for ideas for front yard gardens. All of my sun is in the front but I live in a neighborhood, so I don’t want to offend the neighbors ❤
That was my situation Kathy! My backyard is tiny and a horrible full shade 23 hours out of the day. So this is how this all came to pass. I did my best to keep it nice looking since I knew it would be on display.
Great video. I am looking forward to seeing more videos from you.
More to come!
We just moved into a new house abs are planning our garden...I’ve been wanting to watermelons for years, and now I know I can...had no idea you could grow them on a trellis...the hammock idea has changed our plans a bit. We plan to have about 60 plants and now watermelons have been added thanks to this video.
Oh I'm so glad this made a difference for you Shawn! That's why I do this! 💕
Thanks for the hammock question. I actually incorporated it into and went over it more in depth in my new trellis build video! 😃 ua-cam.com/video/2MF5QHitZg0/v-deo.html
If I grew veges in my front yard it would all be stolen. All my fruit in the front yard got stolen. I always share with the community but I hate stealing. Your gardens are amazing!
OMG, really?? People stole it?? I've been really lucky. We live in a semi-urban area where it's a big no-no to walk on other people's properties and because I'm on such a busy street people would see the thieves. I've had neighbors over the years inform me about people on my property (always friends or contractors), but still it's great to know that everyone is looking out for each other.
Just found you today! Subscribed! I’m intrigued by your idea to make your driveway garden larger. I have an idea or two: place another temporary shelf 4’ above the driveway for more shade space . Line each side of the driveway with moveable raised beds( i.e.- lockable casters on the bottom and lay down sawdust beneath the drain holes of the planter . That will keep your concrete from iron stains, and it will help cool the bed from all the heat of the driveway’s concrete surface, And bonus, you’ll be creating compost for the next year. Love your pergola idea over the driveway expanse for grapevine. Those vines are very heavy once they begin fruiting (3 yrs). So make it very sturdy and mount the top structure higher than the gutter line so the vines and fruit won’t get knocked off when you want to start using your garage for parking again. While you’re waiting for the grapevines to fruition plant a blooming flower climber like roses or trumpet vine. **zephire rose is a pink, fast growing climber with NO thorns! Nice fragrance too. If you direct the gutters’ rain down go to the ground, you can block the end , drill a half inch hole , connect it to a soaker hose and let the rain water the driveway garden (if it ever rains again!) Finally, in the center of the drive way, you can set up your plant stand and neighborhood benches. Have kids? let them sell lemonade and garden tours a few days a week!
I've been thinking just that! Some large rectangular planters, the type you see at outoor dining areas, that act as dividers. I think I can take up the whole front third of the driveway like that and box out a nice little patio area on my driveway. (I'm gonna have to sell that one hard to the hubs, LOL)
I GO FOR A GREENHOUSE, WE NEED ALWAYS NEED IT! I HAVE RO SAY AGAIN THAT I LOVE UR FOOD GARDEN🍎❤😍
Yes, I've needed a greenhouse SO MANY TIME!
Inspiring! I grow in a balcony and always looking for ways to optimize my use of space
Check out those window boxes I had in the middle of this video! You will love those. You can mount them to your balcony railing and grow A LOT in those boxes!
Well...hello there.....nice garden and herb area. In my opinion you need to cover your beds from the seedlings to harvest, otherwise you crop will be eaten in a short time or later on! by the pests! You have to water regularly, moisty soil all time. Use wooden trays/bed for your herbs, the water got to get out when there is too much water in the trays, metal is no go.....smiles. You could cover the walking areas with a fiber cloth to prevent the weed, because suddenly the weed will grow in your beds as well!The pests: use predators when you see the pests, they are very effective/useful. Use the covers and you might get close to your goal.....stay safe and enjoy life and your garden....Thomas, Denmark
Thanks for the tips Thomas! I'm pretty lucky with the pests. My main ones are cabbage moths, and birds.
appreciate the sustainable and eco friendly tips sprinkled in
Yay! Glad you like Carly. :-)
For my organic insecticide I use 2-3 clove of garlic in 1 liter of water. But now I use 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp liquid/castile soap (not dish washing soap), 1 tsp neem oil (any oil will do) mix all ingredients in 1 liter of water. Mix well and preferable spray on the leaves and under the leaves after the sun sets. Don't use under the sun. Spray once per day until the pests are gone. Hope this will help.
I may give this a try this week Cookie! I have some nasty little bugs on my indoor herbs I brought in. Thanks for the tip!
Gorgeous setups!! I especially love the trellises. I'm thinking of doing the same concept may try using cattle panels sense I have some. I'll check our the way yiu did yours. Thanks Missouri Wrightchk
Cattle panels would word really well too, and they wouldn't be white, which is one of the drawbacks (I think) of the trellis netting. It clashes a bit with the black structure.
This should answer all your questions on the trellis build! ua-cam.com/video/2MF5QHitZg0/v-deo.html I think cattle panels would work with this, you would just need a different way of mounting than mine.
Love Love Love your garden! Love the vertical beds. I only have room for 1 but im building just like yours. Thanks!!
You can do it! So glad I inspired you. :-)
That's a gorgeous garden. I have perrenials and fruit in front, and garden and many fruit in back. keep on pushing the limits, and hope 1000 !
Thank you Carla!
