Outstanding video Mark. Using your finger to plant the seeds, we'll have to make you a member of the "keep it simple" team. LOL Wish we were neighbors cause we would get along great. If you keep them watered you should see them pop out the ground in about a week.......... Donald
looking good ! and you have planned it well..look forward to updates..my veges won't go in till this next week ..I'm in zone 6b.. I might shoot a vid also
I'm trying something different this year too. I'm mulching heavily (4 inches or more) for weed protection and moisture conservation to see if I can manage without watering - Mark
you should get a pump.."sub pump"? idk.. ...or dig out large holes line with horse troffs and surround with tarp thingys...lolerskates! thanks for insparation of hills wooters
This year I'm trying a different method of watering. Previously I've had trouble watering my Squash, because the dry soil in a small hill causes the water to just run off, and doesn't soak in. So, this year I'm trying what I call the "Volcano Method". Basically, istead of flattening the top of the hill, I make it concave like a volcano to pour water into the center, with my seeds sowed around the rim. It seems to soak the hill better when manually watering my plants.
@robmelnoahzane Thanks Rob! You've inspired me with your sauerkraut; I will be anxious to see how that turns out. I anticipate having extra cabbage this fall and this would be a great way to preserve it! - Mark
@tamildeztiny Yes, I realize I am very blessed with this property. I have been looking for it for many years now! It is great to finally have some room to grow all the things I have wanted to grow!
@ojibway3 Thanks Paul! Yes, I am a little more south than Ma! I am 20 minutes south of the Atlanta airport in zone 7b. Of course, in August, I will probably be ready to change locations with you!! :)
@webcajun Thanks Donald! I have to admit, it would be super cool to have you as a neighbor! But of course, I would always be over at your house talking gardening and my wife may start to miss me! :)
glad to see you back at it this season...i always enjoy your webcast Mark!

How did you make a video & put it on youtube with out power??
@1968hambone Thanks Hambone!
@Praxxus55712 Thanks Ray!
@mywootgarden that is my plan as soon as I get electricity (in about 2 weeks) at the warm. Two strong boys can only carry so much water after all!! :)
@stymye Brrrr, zone 6b :) Of course, I will be jealous of your zone 6b come August in Georgia!
@tamildeztiny if it is on your property it is; I own the property on both sides of the stream
@ELHIEGER1 :) yes, my kids are super paranoid about this!!
@benobst when I finally get electricity (within next 2 weeks), I will get an electric pump and use it to pump water versus my two "strong" boys
