I love your channel, content, personality, and especially your intro music. It’s gardening for real people who have real lives where nothing has to be perfect to be enjoyable and rewarding. Thanks for what you do!
It’s so real, chill and intimate. It’s like hanging out with a friend. So glad I found you, keep doing what you do. 💕 I am learning a lot and getting back into gardening
That's an amazing garden, you're just proving that people that have small backyards can grow a lot of plants. There's no doubt in my mind that you are an inspiration to a lot of urban gardeners.
I wasn’t expecting to see such a large beautiful garden, & the way it is set up. You deserve to have a UA-cam channel to show off your garden. Keep growing and learning, because there’s still so much more out there to find. It would be nice if every plant could grow in every climate. If so, I wouldn’t be able to walk outside. 🐞🐝🦋🌱🪴🌿🌽🌶️🥬
Hello 💚 I have been gardening for 7years and I have tried to get my kids to enjoy it too and eat the food but they have never showed interest until now 🙄 but I remember you saying that you started gardening because your daughter LOVES vegetables 🤣👍 and it’s cool seeing her get involved with the garden and helping you😊 🌻🌻
Yes, it's wonderful to have as many kids interested in growing food as possible. If that's only one sometimes then that's great. (One at a time ..right.😊) I will never forget being in a Grocery store and having the cashier ask me if my item was "Corn". Corn??..She looked 20 - 23..and worked in the store but didn't recognize Corn. It was fully husked. (I was making a low country boil that evening.) I knew if she didn't know Corn, there wouldn't be a prayer with the Artichokes. ...I was right. Anyway we have a whole generation of people who have been raised with no clue as to what some foods like like in their natural states. And, apparently, no interest on finding out. Did I mention...the woman worked in a grocery store. 😮❤
I think green bush beans in the holes of the bricks, and spinach, cut and come again leaf lettuce, spring onions, beets, turnips, swede or ball shaped carrots, raddish, chives, strawberries just to name a few crops you could plant, lol enjoy whatever you decide.
Plant amaranth they are wonderful pest repellers for veggies. The only thing about the Florida weave is your tomatoes become squished together Your garden is absolutely gorgeous 🌟🌟🌟
Gurl! Gurl! Gurrrl! You Have Done An AMAZING Job In This Garden ! I Absolutely Love It and Just the Way you are and Present all The Lil’ Details and even the Losses Don’t Stop You; Go Gurl!🙌🏾 God Bless You and Your Family ❤
You could put parsley in some of the cement blocks. Grow lots and lots and let some go to seed. You'll have parsley for a few years from one planting. If you see funky striped catapillers eating parsley, don't hurt them because they are butterfly caterpillars. Blessings to all.
Great tour. I have 18 trees in my backyard so have problems growing any thing back there. Tomatoes servive and collards do ok. Not enough sun! 👍🏾🥑🍅🍆🥕👍🏾
I absolutely adore watching all of you videos. I used to work in the urban farming space but have been in the Chef world for 8 years now and really miss hands in the soil and all the abundance of cultivating from seed/soil to plate.
a tip for your garden system...First off....ive been watching your videos....that is what I do to accumulate knowledge...I follow alot of growers...Love love love gardening. I have to use my front yard in the middle of the city and do well...working on additional plans for maiximum harvest and processing. Two tips first id lose the cement boundary on your bed...looks like its about going to give you more square footage and leave you bags as your boundary....should give you a good amount more of cubic feet to grow successfully in...tip two get rid of the rusty old shed and use that space to create a small slender shed with maybe a peg board to hang hooks and shelves for all your garden tools and if youre in the city...looks to be so....lock it...then the rest of the space make a green house out of old wood windows....be sure to clean up and scrape olf paint that is chipping paint the frames with with a sealant paint in case of led in the old paint...just use a razor scraper to scrape up an paint mishaps on the glass panes. Im making a vertical 7 foot green house/cold frame...so you could use your cement blocks to make your foundation perimeter...the cold frame can be completely level you are super creative and the greenhouse cold frame will allow you to start your own seeds early and grow longer...and extend your growing season as well it will protect your starts from veg predators lol. oh 3rd tip....im going to do the same as well. Im going to attach a 2x12x8 piece of wood after i seal it for longevity, to my the outer part of my porch banister. that way I can put in more delicate hanging plants as well as more full sun growing. plus you can trellis on that level as well...might not work for you because I think your back porch is screened in...its an idea for you though...btw planting onions seeds rather than slips will give you huge onions the first year....this is the year first year that onions focus on growing their bulbs big because it wants to propagate in the second year. Onion slip are in their second year thru the way they process onion slips which is why the bulbs dont get to big as they do the first year. Just found that out....I love onions in like everything...Happy gardening to you...if you like cucumber you should try bitter melon on your trellis....if you like cucumbers and I found out....which I do a lot of research on because i have end stage cirrhosis that moringa leaves can be eaten fresh and also dried and milled to a powder ...its a superfood. They sell dwarf ones too....Recommend for your health...I hear you getting winded but you are still young....it will clean your body continuously if you continuously ingest it of course. Look it up...its very cool. Oh btw im very very poor and rely solely on my partner for income for the past two years. It gave me time to really discover how to crunch down on cost yet still enjoy life. You may have like I do a local habitat for humanity Restore. I got each of my big windows there for 5 bucks each....I cant really tell you how great the place is...but if you see something there...get it right then because the sales and no holds...people swipe stuff up...I also use Nextdoor app to check out my local area stuff and FB market place for good deals. Like this laptop yoga im on i got it from a local guy for 100 bucks and it has an i7 processor... Aso check out your city offices...My city collects yard clippings downed trees etc etc...Fom March to October I can go up there and get as many truck loads free compost as I want...however...im wondering if they are doing most of the collection from the rich that live up on the hills surrounding suburbia...I wonder about that ....like their picturesque lawns Im sure they use a chemical to treat their lawns that more than likely use roundup or something of the sort and im trying to grow good produce...I wonder about it because the plants didnt really become prolific producers until I used fox farms soil and put it on top of all my areas...im still kicking that idea around. I need to get it tested. Anywho, it was a pleasure watching your journey...keep up your back yard oasis!!!!
So glad I found your channel! Like you, I found the joy of gardening during the pandemic. With all of the grief and fear of the unknown it gave me peace and a reprieve. I no longer watch regular television and instead watch my favorite Black UA-cam content creators who are gardeners like myself. I continue to learn from you all and feel like I am in a beautiful community who share valuable life skills and experiences. I also live in Zone 7B
Awwww thank you! I’m happy to hear you enjoy the channel. I completely agree with that. It became a place to go that wasn’t scary and peaceful during that time 🫶🏾. The gardening community really is amazing. I love it here!
Garden looks FANTASTIC! I cant wait until my soil perk up .Im feeding it like crazy. Most " dwarfs fruits ,crops will grow in the cinderblocks. I have mostly flowers in mine and a few bunching onions.
Looking wonderful Asia yes Leeks are onions to me I love them. Do you grow celery or cilantro. You could grow them in the bricks. Everything always looks nice love the videos
❤being your daily garden watcher my patio garden is blooming as well I put my fruit trees in large planters my fruitcocktail tree has peaceably for the first time this year the tree is 2 years old I'm growing peanuts as well looking good I love growing New plants in my garden every year along with my herbs happy growing from Maryland
Awww I’m happy you enjoy! Oooo that sounds interesting…a fruitcocktail tree! I’ll have to look into that. You sound like you have a good mix of things! Happy growing!
I put bush beans and whatever herb I need to session plant. I'm also doing watermelon in my cinder blocks. I'm going to try onions next year. For my peppers this year, I did all bell peppers but 15 different varieties. I leaned we ran out over the winter. I freeze them in diced, strip and whole which works great for my family.
Those asparagus berries contain living seeds if you want more plants. New growth on established asparagus plants only come up in spring. Blessings, My Dears.
I have some many small plants from the seeds falling last year. I was supposed to dig them and take them to my coworker. I haven’t gotten around to that yet!
A pattern of Strawberries and nasturtiums or marigolds. I think the bricks will lift the strawberries off of the ground and prevent bugs from eating your berries.
Hello! I love watching your gardening videos. How do you water the garden. Do you just spray over them? Will you show a separate video how you water. I see lots of videos with wonderful gardens but never show how they are watered. Thank you!
Hi 👋🏾! Thank you! I’m happy to hear that. For some plants I will spray overhead such as beans, onions, basil, peppers, sweet potatoes, etc. However, I try not to get the leaves of tomatoes and squash wet when I water. I also try to only water when the plants need it. I normally but my finger in the soil prior to watering to make sure it’s not just the top that looks dry. Yeah, sure. When I water again I’ll record and walk through my process. Totally understand. I think we overlook that part sometimes. You’re welcome!
I would love to have a garden that big! I have just 3 raised beds and a couple containers here and there. I am super exicted for preservation time. I love in an apartment so I am just thankful they approved my garden beds! Happy gardening😊
Good evening,, I just want you to know that I’m in❤, with your videos I ❤ seeing plants grow it’s so amazing what you do and you know all the names I think you do a fantastic job, ❤ ya & keep up the great work, stay blessed
Asia...Hi !!! Mrs.H mentioned you in her video; so she sent me to you. I'm happy to watch your videos as I am also gardening in my backyard. I will be excited to be seeing what you will be planting. I already like you. My daddy used to plant calendulas every year. They were SO BEAUTIFUL !!!! 🤗
Wow this is my first time watching you ,you are awesome I like your gardening personality I know it just really tells who you are your awesome like I said and your garden is beautiful I'm a farmer myself we have animals and a garden may the Lord continue to be with you and your family 😇🙏
I think the whole topping peppers thing is one of the worst trends lately. I learned my lesson after topping it and getting nothing that season. It set them back like two months behind and by then it was fall. After leaving them alone they bush out and look like trees and gave me a huge amount of produce.
I love what you're doing and love your videos. I enjoy watching and following people who keep it 100%. I think you can grow a few carrots or celery in the holes once you pull the onions. Keep up the good job!!
Hi, I just found you after watching exploring alternatives. I love your garden. I enjoy seeing people doing the real deal and setting a good example. I have grown cucumbers in the holes of cinder blocks before and it worked very well.
Looking great Asia! I think you're about three weeks ahead of me in growth. Makes me think I'll be harvesting borage very soon! Happy gardening; the dress suits you! Jimmy Nardello=My Favorite!
mmmmm, leeks! They have a mild onion flavor. I love them in frittatas sauteed in butter, combined with cherry tomatoes (halved) rosemary and feta cheese. They are also good sauteed with halved cherry tomatoes in olive oil and wilted swiss chard...with the juice of one lemon. Makes a nice side dish or served over rice. YUUUUMMMM
Lemon balm: if you want more, rooting a cutting of the plant, or touching branches to the soil, will root more, faster than seed. They are apparently part of the mint family. Peppermint: I kill mine, every winter, somehow. No idea what I am doing wrong! In pots/garden...guess its my "talent" (said sarcasm)😂 lol
I was thinking about rooting cuttings also. My lemon balm seems to die off if too much peat moss in potting mix. The ones in pots of dirt seemed to live. Blessings everyone.
Thank you! That’s a great idea. I may do that this weekend. Thank you for the comment! Lol awwww I’m sorry to hear that. I lost one or two over the winter too. I’ll probably put the pots in the greenhouse this winter. Happy growing!
Thank you Asia you ve given me the motivation I needed to get out the bed today Some days is easier than others my garden is kicking my you know what. I'd love to have chickens but can't I live in a apartment but thank you again
Love your garden! ❤ You have so much growing with lots of diversity in veggies, herbs and flowers. I’m glad you said what you said about not thinning peaches, bcuz I was wondering if I should thin the fruit on my trees. Thx so much for your tour!
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead hooootsss!!!! How about petunias from seed? I could send a few of them. Or paper statice? I have dozens and dozens of hostas. Do you have a list for me? If I mail them to you, I don't have to find pots for them. Many blessings everyone.
My husband has suggested to me to put herbs in mine. I’m not sure if you know but you encouraged me to go on market place to find cinder blocks so this is a project for a few weeks. 😂❤ thanks for your videos love them
I just started watching your channel. I really enjoyed this video. I look forward to binge watching your videos. I love that you embrace your garden and let it do its own thang.
Hey I was looking at your garden it's so beautiful, I'm moving my garden plants around. Thanks you have so many garden plants and Vegetables, it's so nice and relaxing. Thanks ,I love gardening.
What a lovely and innovative garden - very inspiring! Leeks are a part of the onion & garlic family. I love to make creamed leaks for the holidays, or leak and potato soup and my favorite way to use them is putting them in guacamole fresh to make a chunky guac.
I’m loving that you grow onions 🧅 in the bricks. Have you tried garlic 🧄? I have a cinder block bed too and looking for ideas I haven’t tried growing inside the bricks yet . I’m loving your garden.
Hi Asia! Awesome garden tour. I'm so excited to share that my shishito pepper plants are producing peppers 🎉😂 As always, thanks for sharing, and enjoy your weekend. 😊
Hi Ashya. Love the awesome informative job you do and, I don't know, making us feel that we're gardening right along "with you". Watching your latest right now "Early June Tour". You were speaking of your issues with Squash vine borer damage. We also grow squash. Yellow crooked neck, straight necked ..and, something I would like to suggest to you, Lemon Squash! .Lemon Squash tastes much like the other yellow squashes, but are far less susceptible to vine borers due to the way they grow. They have no lemon flavor what-so-ever, but are shaped a lot like large lemons. Beautiful plants..and tasty. They sprawl like regular squashes..but also vine. So require trellising. Where some, but not all, of the vines touch the ground they can develop roots. Thus if vine borers try to get them, they can't take down the entire plant and we have squash (zone 7b as well) all season long (into early fall). And did I mention that they are prolific. We love squash and love Lemon Squash so much that we grow far less of the other varieties now. We actually only grow others out of habit. :)
I just love your videos every year I tell myself no Squash plants and what do I do grow them anyway Squash vine borer is my enemy but I do have to options cover them and pollinate them myself or if they do get them inject BT.
You just commented about the taste of Leeks which we also grow, They are delicious. A mild oniony taste, but still unique. Like garlic is kind of oniony...but "unique" ...you know. If you like onions/garlic..I think you'll love them. ..In the holes of the bricks (great idea by the way) ..how about bush beans or garlic for harvest next season; then you can use some of that in-garden space for something else.
Ok thank you! I’m really interested in trying them. Bush beans are a great idea I think I’ll give that a try. Garlic can work too! Thanks for the suggestions!
I love it that you are in city limits. I also have a very small backyard. I’m trying to get started with planting. I don’t exactly know what to plant. I also would like chickens, quails and rabbits. I’m not very good at organizing though. I right now my yard has nothing back there and I just don’t see where to place my things.
Hey Asia! I would plant more beautiful flowers in the cement holes (onion) so that you can enjoy some of that beautiful indoors without feeling guilty about cutting on them. 😂 🤷♀️ Wonderful early June garden tour!
Leeks are delicious! They have their own unique flavor. The battle with the vine borer is intense. I’ve handpicked so many eggs and have sprayed every other day mostly. They seemed to be on a break for a week and then I spotted more eggs yesterday. We have to seasons of them here. After all that fighting, we had a couple of cooler days and the plants are starting to get powdery mildew. 🤦🏽♀️
O nice! I can’t wait to try them. All the comments are making me think I’m gonna love them. OMG it really is! I haven’t seen any yet but it’s still kinda early for me. Good luck keeping yours under control! Happy growing!
I am joyed watching your beautiful garden thank you for sharing your garden it is such a pretty girl on my daughter you don’t want to make sure that I have a fresh carton because I need it vegetables and I think her so much and I love her so much with working in my garden today and cutting down branches and tree names and I’m walking to the train hurt my CO scratch on my eye can we clean the carts long time to heal May God bless you and thank you
Grand Rising one of the best urban gardens I have seen hands down you grow so much food in a small space a great guide to urban farming love it always

Awwww thank you so much! That’s exactly what I want my channel to exhibit. I wish I could live this comment 100 times 🤗💜
Amen to this comment, I was thinking the same thing❤
It’s so real, chill and intimate. It’s like hanging out with a friend. So glad I found you, keep doing what you do.

Ahhhh yes amaranth would be nice! Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll have to keep my eye opened for that. Thanks for letting me know!
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead mine came from baker Creek. It looks kinda like coleus. It a veggie amaranth. Many blessings everyone.

Thank you! Happy to hear you are able to grow somethings. Some herbs can grow pretty well in shade too.
I absolutely adore watching all of you videos. I used to work in the urban farming space but have been in the Chef world for 8 years now and really miss hands in the soil and all the abundance of cultivating from seed/soil to plate.

Mulch & compost will help you tremendously, good luck always❤😊 St X. V. I.
I put bush beans and whatever herb I need to session plant. I'm also doing watermelon in my cinder blocks. I'm going to try onions next year. For my peppers this year, I did all bell peppers but 15 different varieties. I leaned we ran out over the winter. I freeze them in diced, strip and whole which works great for my family.

A pattern of Strawberries and nasturtiums or marigolds. I think the bricks will lift the strawberries off of the ground and prevent bugs from eating your berries.
Not much of anything keeps strawberries safe except tight covers. Take care all
O that would be pretty! Thanks for the suggestion!

I totally agree! They are quick, don’t take up a lot of space and they are delicious! Blessings to you as well!
Good evening,, I just want you to know that I’m in❤, with your videos I ❤ seeing plants grow it’s so amazing what you do and you know all the names I think you do a fantastic job, ❤ ya & keep up the great work, stay blessed
Asia...Hi !!! Mrs.H mentioned you in her video; so she sent me to you. I'm happy to watch your videos as I am also gardening in my backyard. I will be excited to be seeing what you will be planting. I already like you. My daddy used to plant calendulas every year. They were SO BEAUTIFUL !!!! 🤗
You are appreciated love.god and gardening will make you feel better, and sharing your experiences is important to. ❤❤😊😊
Good morning! The garden is looking amazing! Great work! Thanks for sharing! Happy gardening 🤗🤗🪴🎋🌿💐
Thank you! You’re welcome!
Everything looks so lush and lovely - and it’s only early June! Keep up the great work, mama!
Thank you!!!
Wow this is my first time watching you ,you are awesome I like your gardening personality I know it just really tells who you are your awesome like I said and your garden is beautiful I'm a farmer myself we have animals and a garden may the Lord continue to be with you and your family 😇🙏
Thank you Veronica! I appreciate that. Do you have a channel? May the Lord continue to bless you and your family as well!!
I think the whole topping peppers thing is one of the worst trends lately. I learned my lesson after topping it and getting nothing that season. It set them back like two months behind and by then it was fall. After leaving them alone they bush out and look like trees and gave me a huge amount of produce.
Totally understand. I had the same experience. It’s not a trend I’ll be doing lol
It does give you more peppers but they are smaller so it just depends which you prefer you can do the same with tomatoes
I love what you're doing and love your videos. I enjoy watching and following people who keep it 100%. I think you can grow a few carrots or celery in the holes once you pull the onions. Keep up the good job!!
Leeks do taste like onions, sweet onions. I think they’re better than onions.
I grew some leeks last year, first time, and didn’t know what to do with them. We never used them
@@Farmerbettyboop2 dehydrate them to make powder.And use in your foods to perk it up.
@@delphine88313 Tks. I’ll do that next time I try them. ❤️
@@Farmerbettyboop2 🙂
Learn something new everyday. I thought leaks were baby onions.
Hi, I just found you after watching exploring alternatives. I love your garden. I enjoy seeing people doing the real deal and setting a good example. I have grown cucumbers in the holes of cinder blocks before and it worked very well.
Looking great Asia! I think you're about three weeks ahead of me in growth. Makes me think I'll be harvesting borage very soon! Happy gardening; the dress suits you! Jimmy Nardello=My Favorite!
Thank you! O ok. Yeah it grows really fast and will be treelike before you know it lol. Happy gardening to you! Thank you! OMG! They are so tasty!
mmmmm, leeks! They have a mild onion flavor. I love them in frittatas sauteed in butter, combined with cherry tomatoes (halved) rosemary and feta cheese. They are also good sauteed with halved cherry tomatoes in olive oil and wilted swiss chard...with the juice of one lemon. Makes a nice side dish or served over rice. YUUUUMMMM
That sounds delicious! I’ll definitely have to try that! Thank you!
Lemon balm: if you want more, rooting a cutting of the plant, or touching branches to the soil, will root more, faster than seed. They are apparently part of the mint family. Peppermint: I kill mine, every winter, somehow. No idea what I am doing wrong! In pots/garden...guess its my "talent" (said sarcasm)😂 lol
I was thinking about rooting cuttings also. My lemon balm seems to die off if too much peat moss in potting mix. The ones in pots of dirt seemed to live. Blessings everyone.
Thank you! That’s a great idea. I may do that this weekend. Thank you for the comment! Lol awwww I’m sorry to hear that. I lost one or two over the winter too. I’ll probably put the pots in the greenhouse this winter. Happy growing!
Thank you Asia you ve given me the motivation I needed to get out the bed today Some days is easier than others my garden is kicking my you know what. I'd love to have chickens but can't I live in a apartment but thank you again
I always get bit buy something in the garden when I’m sleeveless or have on shorts 😂😂 Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden ☮️❤️💡
I do too and I still do it 🤦🏾♀️🤣. You’re welcome!
Love your garden! ❤ You have so much growing with lots of diversity in veggies, herbs and flowers. I’m glad you said what you said about not thinning peaches, bcuz I was wondering if I should thin the fruit on my trees. Thx so much for your tour!
Thank you! I love having a mix of things! You’re welcome! It’s seems the trees know what they can handle. Gotta love Mother Nature!
Plant garlic or zinnias 😊.
I didn't think of garlic. Good idea. Blessings.
Thanks for the suggestions! I really do need more zinnias 😩🤣
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead hooootsss!!!! How about petunias from seed? I could send a few of them. Or paper statice? I have dozens and dozens of hostas. Do you have a list for me? If I mail them to you, I don't have to find pots for them. Many blessings everyone.
I love your channel so much. It gives me life and motivation! Girl go live one good time just for the fun of your personality!😎
Awwww thank you! I’m thinking of going live soon. I have to hype myself up for that lol.
My husband has suggested to me to put herbs in mine. I’m not sure if you know but you encouraged me to go on market place to find cinder blocks so this is a project for a few weeks. 😂❤ thanks for your videos love them
Always nice to see a tour of the garden 😊👍🏾
Hey Micheal! Thank you!!
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead 😊👍🏾
Yes leeks taste like onions. I ♥️ leek and potato soup. Yummy!
Roflmbo. Sorry about the die die die approach to potatoes. Lol. I. Was just trying to make a strong impression. 🤭🤦🤭🤦🤭
Lol no apologies needed! I thought it was a funny comment. Last year I harvested my potatoes early so it was a timely comment!
Artachokes (sorry I can't spell) veg the second or third year. Blessings everyone.
Ahhhhh thank you!! One plant is in its second year the other is new this year.
I just found your channel. Excellent job. Thank you for taking the time to share your content and journey with us.
Hi 👋🏾! Welcome to the channel! You’re welcome!
Chocolate mint and borage water genius!!!!
My bell peppers are light green as well....that's a 1st for me. Maybe I'll add some compost
The compost helped as well as the warmer weather I’m sure. Has it been chilly in your area?
@Yellow Door Urban Homestead no actually we've been getting high 80 close to 90's... ut now the last few days have been cool 😳
Hi Asia! I planted Thyme in the holes. Wondering garden and video! Peace-
I was thinking that also. Blessings.
O good idea! Thank you for the suggestion!
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead guess what. thyme is all over my parents place. Should I bare root some and mail it too you. Many blessings everyone.
I just started watching your channel. I really enjoyed this video. I look forward to binge watching your videos. I love that you embrace your garden and let it do its own thang.
Hi 👋🏾! Welcome to the channel! I’m happy to have you here. Glad to hear you are enjoying it!
Hey I was looking at your garden it's so beautiful, I'm moving my garden plants around. Thanks you have so many garden plants and Vegetables, it's so nice and relaxing. Thanks ,I love gardening.
Thank you! You’re welcome! It’s nice to be able to change the garden around. That’s why I love my bags! Happy gardening!
What a lovely and innovative garden - very inspiring! Leeks are a part of the onion & garlic family. I love to make creamed leaks for the holidays, or leak and potato soup and my favorite way to use them is putting them in guacamole fresh to make a chunky guac.
Thank you! That sounds delicious! I’m going to have to try it for sure. I can’t wait to harvest them!
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead Yes! Good luck with your harvest! ❤️
I’m loving that you grow onions 🧅 in the bricks. Have you tried garlic 🧄? I have a cinder block bed too and looking for ideas I haven’t tried growing inside the bricks yet . I’m loving your garden.
Hi Asia! Awesome garden tour. I'm so excited to share that my shishito pepper plants are producing peppers 🎉😂
As always, thanks for sharing, and enjoy your weekend. 😊
Hey Elwanda! O yay! I’m happy to hear your Shishito peppers are doing well! Have you tasted any yet? So tasty!
You’re welcome and thank you!!
@Yellow Door Urban Homestead nope, not yet😂
They're still small😏
Put strawberries in the brick holes😊
Hi Ashya. Love the awesome informative job you do and, I don't know, making us feel that we're gardening right along "with you". Watching your latest right now "Early June Tour". You were speaking of your issues with Squash vine borer damage. We also grow squash. Yellow crooked neck, straight necked ..and, something I would like to suggest to you, Lemon Squash! .Lemon Squash tastes much like the other yellow squashes, but are far less susceptible to vine borers due to the way they grow. They have no lemon flavor what-so-ever, but are shaped a lot like large lemons. Beautiful plants..and tasty. They sprawl like regular squashes..but also vine. So require trellising. Where some, but not all, of the vines touch the ground they can develop roots. Thus if vine borers try to get them, they can't take down the entire plant and we have squash (zone 7b as well) all season long (into early fall). And did I mention that they are prolific. We love squash and love Lemon Squash so much that we grow far less of the other varieties now. We actually only grow others out of habit. :)
Thank you Becca. I’m gonna go look for those seeds. Do the vine borers bother them a little less?
O never mind you already answered that question lol
Asia, thanks for the garden tour; things are looking great!😊You guys will have a lot to harvest this season.🌱🍇🍉🧅
You’re welcome! Thank you! I sure hope so!
I just love your videos every year I tell myself no Squash plants and what do I do grow them anyway Squash vine borer is my enemy but I do have to options cover them and pollinate them myself or if they do get them inject BT.
Awww thank you! Lol I totally understand. I do the same and still plant them 🤣. O that’s a good idea!
You just commented about the taste of Leeks which we also grow, They are delicious. A mild oniony taste, but still unique. Like garlic is kind of oniony...but "unique" ...you know. If you like onions/garlic..I think you'll love them. ..In the holes of the bricks (great idea by the way) ..how about bush beans or garlic for harvest next season; then you can use some of that in-garden space for something else.
Ok thank you! I’m really interested in trying them. Bush beans are a great idea I think I’ll give that a try. Garlic can work too! Thanks for the suggestions!
Okra, Ground Cherries once you harvest the Onions
I love it that you are in city limits. I also have a very small backyard. I’m trying to get started with planting. I don’t exactly know what to plant. I also would like chickens, quails and rabbits. I’m not very good at organizing though. I right now my yard has nothing back there and I just don’t see where to place my things.
Wow, just found your channel! I will go back and watch your previous post 😊😊
Lemon balm . Tends to propagate well being it’s in the mint family
That’s some good, City music on that intro! Totally subbing. Your channel reminds me of my house ❤️
Hey Asia! I would plant more beautiful flowers in the cement holes (onion) so that you can enjoy some of that beautiful indoors without feeling guilty about cutting on them. 😂 🤷♀️
Wonderful early June garden tour!
Great idea Nikki! I’ve been thinking about Teddy Bear Sunflowers.
Thank you!
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead Can’t wait to see what you decide on doing. 😊
Leeks are delicious! They have their own unique flavor. The battle with the vine borer is intense. I’ve handpicked so many eggs and have sprayed every other day mostly. They seemed to be on a break for a week and then I spotted more eggs yesterday. We have to seasons of them here. After all that fighting, we had a couple of cooler days and the plants are starting to get powdery mildew. 🤦🏽♀️
O nice! I can’t wait to try them. All the comments are making me think I’m gonna love them. OMG it really is! I haven’t seen any yet but it’s still kinda early for me. Good luck keeping yours under control! Happy growing!
Asia, girl, loving the garden and your enthusiasm! Chickens are coming along well.❤
I'm doing the Florida Weave! It's great! Thanks mucho ❤
Hey Dorna! Thank you! Happy you enjoy! Yes, so thankful they are out of my house lol. O yay! Are you liking it? You’re welcome!! 🤗
Hi sweet heart, I'm a first time viewer, and I love your garden. I think you should
Leeks are a light onion flavor. They are good in soup and stir fry
Try some beans in the brick
Ahhh good idea! Thank you!
Love your garden. Everything look so lush and healthy
Hello from Windsor,Ontario, Canada...maybe you can plant herbs or carrots once you pull the onions😊
Great job
Thank you!
I am joyed watching your beautiful garden thank you for sharing your garden it is such a pretty girl on my daughter you don’t want to make sure that I have a fresh carton because I need it vegetables and I think her so much and I love her so much with working in my garden today and cutting down branches and tree names and I’m walking to the train hurt my CO scratch on my eye can we clean the carts long time to heal May God bless you and thank you
Thank you for sharing your garden is super beautiful. You should plant some radishes inside of the brick holes.
You’re welcome! Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll give that a try for fall!
Asia...your garden is gorgeous. I love this time of year when everything is popping up, green, and early harvests. 💚💛🧡❤💙
Thank you! Same here! It’s the best growing season although I really do enjoy fall too!
I like your poly culture garden. It Inspires me to plant more
Thank you!
Having the onions in the cement block holes I'm guessing is keeping the pest pressures down. What an abundance...great tour as always!! 🌻♥
I have heard that it does. Seems to working so far! Thank you!!
Your garden is beautiful.
