Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- Here are nine easy tips for growing more food in a small garden:
1) Grow in Beds, not Rows
2) Optimize Spacing between Beds and Plants
3) Grow Vertically
4) Succession Planting
5) Interplanting
6) Grow in the Shade
7) Grow Edible Plants in the Front Yard
8) Grow Microgreens
9) Grow in Pots & Containers
Ideas from viewers
1) Interplant sweet peas with sunchokes. The sweet peas fix nitrogen, the sunchokes act as trellises for the peas, and both attract beneficial insects.
2) 3 sisters garden
3) Grow dwarf trees and plant shade tolerant crops underneath
4) Grow in window boxes
5) Optimize use of space by growing food you like the most
OYR is all about growing a lot of food on a little land using sustainable organic methods, while keeping costs and labor at a minimum. Emphasis is placed on improving soil quality with compost, mulch, and compost tea. No store-bought fertilizers, soil amendments, pesticides, compost activators, etc. are used.

How to Build a Keyhole Raised Bed Garden:
• How to Build a Keyhole...
He is so right about raised beds; most soil has been so chemically treated because of lawns that you will be getting leaves and very little food. Also; try to focus on double crop vegetables like onions , spring onions, garlic, can be harvested and the leaves are great as chives.. you can even cut up and dry for later use. Sweet potatoes are wonderful for the potatoes; but the leaves are like spinach and can be cooked in soups, salads, and also are great for drying to add later to soups. Raspberries are wonderful for both jams and de-glazing pans for pork chops and dried for later use. The leaves are great dried for teas and great for cramps or upset stomach. Peas are a must to grow; shade lovers, the tops are delicious for soups, salads and grow like weeds if kept watered... Strawberries leaves are also edible; a lot of the teas we buy when they say strawberries flavor if not artificial are the leaves and skins of plants or fruit. I use the skins of fruit after I peal that are organic and dry and put into the coffee grounder and add to tea; delicious.
Don't forget the wild edibles; stinging nettle is a super food and also takes the radiation out of the body with the increase around the world of radiation is a must have. It also deters animals inside the garden if you plant it in a wild animal run. Mullen is great and has been used for centuries for bandages and to use on cuts and sores. Mushrooms are a must they feed the soil and keep the plants healthy and happy. Planting mushrooms at the edges on maple or oak logs looks really pretty and will increase your yields in crops. So much to learn and so little time. Keep learning guys; practice and keep sharing... we are in this together. I talked to the grocery store clerks and wholesale food company managers and they are running out of food. We all need to start to grow food... even hydroponics inside an apartment with a barrel of feeder fish will work. Buy a fountain solar pump... All you need is knowledge and practice . God Bless and stay safe guys.
I can't understand why anyone would want a lawn when they can plant a garden. Your garden looks great.
@{Delete this} Agreed! Millions of acres of grass for what? To compete with your neighbors!
@{Delete this} I don't have a lawn by choice. I have a sloping meadow that we want to have terraced, but we aren't going to bother without a fence (which we can't afford now), as wildlife is abundant here, and they eat damn near everything. Hence the grass.
Deer, that’s why. Can’t afford to fence it all.
@@sage0925 You could start with a small bed and fence it. In permaculture, always start small. You don't even need to dig, just make a lasagna. Good luck!
Surely the majority of people with grass lawns arent using it for this way, but, grass lawns are nice for dogs
I have a tip to add, I call it "staggering" which means don't plant your entire crop all at the same day. Instead plant over several weeks if not longer for certain crops. This ensures freshness and not an over or under abundance. Another tip is to spend 1/3 of your total gardening time by improving your soil through composting, which includes: turning and adding leaves in the fall, cut grass, horse manure from a local ranch, composting from a local waste management, and as much vegetable matter you can muster from your kitchen.
Very nice! I love the tips you gave. You hit on some of the main ones I focused on this year, and it is so true. rows kill your space, block formation is a winning idea. Thanks for posting, and sharing!
Thanks Luke! You're going to have so much food this year!
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover backyard garden designs try Loctavan Beautiful Landscape Strategy (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my brother in law got great success with it.
One of my favorite ways to grown melons is on a trellis. I build the trellis with the top secured to a fence for support. The base is in the ground about 16" from the fence. I plant the baby melons just behind the ground supports. This gives the baby plants enough shade to grow without burning from the hot sun. As the plant grows I just weave them through the uprights. When the melons start to develop, I gently place them in a mesh bag tied off to a horizontal frame piece just above them. I use dollar store bath scubbies as the mesh. When unfurled, they can give you several mesh bags. Just tie a knot in one end, place your melon in, then cut the mesh off to give you enough room for tying off at the top. It doesn't cause any harm to the melon, it's a space saver, and they're easy to harvest. Thanks, I enjoyed your video.
+Renee w Thanks, Renee! That's a great way to grow melons vertically. Thanks!
Great tips, plus, your instructions were so vivid and descriptive, I could see it.👍
I enjoy watching your video's. I've been a gardener since 1970 and used to make my raised beds just by pulling soil up in rows with enough room to walk between them. Used a rake to do it and leveled the top out. Then spread lettuce, radishes and carrot seeds on top and finished with just tamping with the rake. Worked great as the radishes matured, then lettuce and finally carrots. By harvesting the radishes first, it left room for the carrots and lettuce. But now I'm handicapped and can't walk or stand very well anymore. But don't feel bad for me because I am now using raised beds that I can get around in my power chair and still do what I love best, raising organic veggies' for us. We took down an old 2 car garage that has a gravel floor. I'm wondering if raised beds would work on that floor so I can still get around with the power chair. Right now I'm using recycled 55 gallon drum's that were well cleaned before drilling a few holes in the top and bottom and my husband cut them around the middle. Just refreshed the soil with recycled yard waste from a local recycle place. But I want some more raised beds that I can work in from a garden scoot (from Gardeners Supply). I'm so determined to keep gardening I have been trying to think of ways for more gardening space and your video gave good idea's. And love the raised beds you show. I just can't do a lot of standing and bending anymore. Love your idea's and appreciate you making these video's and sharing them. Sorry this was so long, but just had to tell you and will look at your other video's as well for more info.
+CatHouseMouse251 Thank you!I'm glad the video was helpful! I admire your determination to grow organic veggies for your family. Best wishes with your garden!
Tip # 10 grow only what your family will eat. Do and inventory of what you eat and break down dishes to find what is available for you to grow. Example: spaghetti sauce is mainly tomatoes but there are also many spices that can be grown towards making that sauce more your own.
That's a great tip, Ann!
You can sell, or give to friends, your surplus yield, which is a good way to bankroll your prepper plan. JS
You can always barter for eggs and other things that you don't grow. And does it help to grow stuff that will keep the soil aerated and use for compost?
Joe Wolf Get chickens
Yes! I tell my daughter's that I'm "growing you some eggplant parmegian and shakshuka. Eggplants; tomatoes; basil; oregano; parsley etc ...they get a kick out of it.
Did you really say that in some states it is not allowed to grow food plants!?
Mindblowing to hear that, for real.
❤️From Holland
I planted three dwarf apple trees in my small strip of grass along my front driveway. I also have been growing hard squash, small pumpkin close to my cyclone fence & guide them up the fence. It acts as a privacy fence & gives me room for other plants in my Chicago back yard.
Great use of space, Donna!
These were great tips. Its finally sinking in how to plant all my seeds and trees. My one plant saver is to plant my tree kale on the shady side of a large tree. Its shaded in the hot summer sun and when the tree looses it's leaves the kale has full sun all winter. Love your gardens from Florida.
Thanks, Nancy!
I learned that for cut and come again- the roots of greens can reproduce new set of leaves about 3x if I leave enough roots. i hope to try that soon to nourish the soil by leaving the roots
I’m a longtime gardener always looking for tips, tricks and new ways to garden. Your videos are educational and concise…thanks for posting great content!
Excellent tips Patrick! This is very helpful to new gardeners as well as seasoned ones :)
Thanks Misilla!
It is the dead of winter here, minus 7 degrees F. It is nice to see a nice gardening video!!
Thank you.
+Sandra Noneofyourbusiness You're very welcome, Sandra!
Oh my.
Are you also in New England?
We had -32 with wind chill this past weekend (in Connecticut) an Ice storm this morning, and then temps in the mid 50's this afternoon.
Crazy weather in NE! I can't wait to get out and dig in the garden!
+Sandra Noneofyourbusiness It sounds like we lucked out in Chicago. We just got past a cold spell, but it wasn't that bad.
+Sherry Lee Keep dreaming of spring, Sherry! It won't be long.
Great tips. I use most of these techniques and they really work!
Thanks suburban homestead ! I'm glad to here you've had success with many of these techniques. Thanks for watching!
I've been binge watching all these old garden videos. I can not wait to get mine started this spring!
Thanks for watching! Best wishes with your garden this spring.
Excellent tips and really great ideas. I'm a firm believer that a gardener can't never learn and know enough. There's always something new to learn and improve on. Thanks so much.
+Cultivating Organic by greenwiseJo Thanks! I'm glad you found the tips helpful. You're absolutely right. There's always something new to learn in the garden.
One thing we have done is incorporate dwarf fruit trees which can also be used as a trellis for fruiting vines. We have also used berry bushes as hedges which can be planted underneath with shade loving plants (I plant spinach underneath some). Thank you for the video!
That's a fantastic tip! I've added it to the description. Thanks!
grammapat ñnnlove your garden
Great tips! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the great tips Patrick. I grow in a very similar size lot....1/10th of an acre I believe, and have adopted a few tips mentioned. Growing vertically has been my most successful so far. We have a fence that borders our yard and I have trellised most of the full sun areas with peas, beans, and cucumbers so far. Succession planting is what I really need to work on as I want to be able to harvest produce from my garden all year if possible. Thanks again for the great tips.
You're very welcome, Bryan! I'm glad to hear you are making great use of your 1/10th acre! Growing vertically and succession planting make a huge difference.
I have less then your space .06 acres 😔
Short, clear, to-the-point. Excellent!
Excellent, tips, Patrick. I've followed each one of these myself and have shown them in my vids though I never really emphasized them as you have. Odd thing is this was stuff I figured out on my own. Everyone around thought I was crazy for breaking out of the mold. No help and didn't know about YT at the time and didn't know how to search for help. If I can figure it out anyone can and with great videos like this one others should be able to jump right in.
Thanks! I think you and I both like to go our own way and experiment in the garden. It took me years to learn about these things too. UA-cam really is a great learning tool for people getting started. Thanks for watching!
You make me ashamed of myself. I have 30 acres and don't grow as many veg as you do! But you are also very inspiring, with lots of practical ideas I can use. Thankyou!
It is frustrating though, that I live at the same latitude as you only South of the equator, yet my growing season is at least 2 months shorter than yours. In 21 years, the only month in which I've never had a killing frost or two, is February (August to you), and normally I count myself lucky to get 12 weeks between last and first frosts. However, it is impossible to know whether or not we will get that killer in late December (usually do; June to you) and nearly always my tomatoes are frozen solid one morning in mid March (your September), if I am lucky enough to be able to grow any at all.
We don't get snow like yours, almost never have any at all, but do get vicious frost, lashing rain, hail & 100 mph winds, so my poly greenhouse was shredded. I find I need to be content with the cold climate veg, lots more peas, leaves, roots and brassicas, then any beans, pumpkins & tomatoes are an occasional bonus. Many veg stay in the garden happily all winter long, so I can pick leeks, chard, brassicas, swedes, carrots, parsnips, potatoes, as I need them.
Do you have a video showing the annual yield breakdowns? Your per-acre equivalent must be phenomenal. Though I do think you could expand the growing area by eliminating many of the paths between those very small beds.
Thanks! Wow, those are really tough growing conditions. Glass covered cold frames with wood frames would probably work very well there. I've never tracked yields for the entire garden. We harvest very frequently, as needed for meals, instead of having a smaller number of large harvests. As a result, tracking yields would be a lot of work.
Aww go on, I'm sure with your methodical approach, you could do it! At least you could average the weight of vegetables used daily, and estimate your yearly production.
You sure do have a wonderful array of cyanoxanthins and carotenoids & other good things every time you harvest from your garden.
I love to eat from the garden. Eggs with a big handful of parsley and chives is so simple; I could do that almost every day, with tomatoes in favourable seasons. Homemade yogurt and berries. Ever-changing vegetable ingredients in thick dried bean soups. Pumpkin soup. Leek & potato soup; I could live on those. Stuffed baked potatoes. Steamed veg with cheese or luscious salads. Peas munched in the garden, with grazed raspberries for dessert.
Homegrown organic produce just tastes so good in its simplest form, that it cannot be improved upon by complicated "recipes".
If I could just maintain the continuum as well as you do, I would scarcely ever need to darken the stupidmarket's doors!
Hei, it is excellent to note all the tips. I do really appreciate the words you apprehended as " for the benefit of all "....
It shows your vested interest on public interest, welfare of all and social concern. **THANK YOU**
This year I choose smaller diameter carrots and radishes (Lady finger carrots and french breakfast radishes) which don't require as much spacing. I also grow more indeternament tomatoes instead of bush. I let the largest store bought cages I could find determine spacing (slightly smaller than sq ft). Inverted same size cages with zip ties for more height. Will post a video soon. Thx for the tips.
Your beautiful and bountiful garden has struck in to my heart the most unbearable nostalgia for my gardening days. Haven't the possibility to anymore, sadly. Thanks and best wishes from Germany!
You're welcome, Ashhari . I hope you're able to return to gardening soon.
Great video! I recently started a garden and I live in a duplex so I have a very small space to work with but I have maximized my space!! You are so fun to watch! I've actually created a cost analysis spreadsheet to track my garden expenses, retail cost of produce, and how much I harvest to see exactly how much I save my family in cost of produce! I'm trying to share with as many people as possible because gardening is so much fun and can save money too! I'm trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can and share what I learn with others too! Thanks for sharing!!
+Spend Smart Live Happy Thanks! Best wishes with your garden! We have a very low cost approach to improving soil fertility that relies almost exclusively on free local resources to make our own compost and vermicompost. We also mulch with free local resources. Please let me know if you have any questions about reducing gardening costs while getting great results.
Gardening is the best! Such great info on the effectiveness of garden beds.
Thanks!
Great tips. My obvious tip is to grow what you will actually eat. I am amazed by how many radishes people grow when they eat very few on a daily basis just because they are easy to grow.
Thanks TheRedheadsrus ! That's a great point. It sure makes more sense to grow food that you really like, especially when you have limited space.
I like changing the world one garden at a time. I live in a rural area so space is not a limiting factor. Many plant roots will use more space that the raised beds give. I've pulled tomato plants in the fall with roots more than three feet long. We have fields near our garden where we can cut mulch in the spring and in the fall we broadcast winter rye and hairy vetch on top of whats left of the mulch. In the spring if the rye is 70% pollen shedding it will not come back if you cut it. This no till system encourages the soil food web - see "Teaming with Microbes". I find that with winter squash they like to root along the vine so going vertical would preclude this which helps with squash bore and squash bug attacks. Maybe if you gave your potatoes more space they would get a little bit bigger. Thanks for the video. My comments are just to dialogue. I've seen many different garden methods and they all work if the gardener loves their garden.
Hi Robin! When I recommend growing in beds, I'm referring to growing areas that are wider than traditional rows. A good width for a bed is 3 to 4 feet wide because you can reach the middle of the bed without walking on it. I'm not referring only to raised beds.
Thank You. I am a Master Gardener in Az and always enjoy learning something new.
+Angela Brooks, Green Garden Chick You're very welcome, Angela!
Hi Patrick! I wanted to share with you my bean experience this year. I am growing several varieties, from scarlet runner to pretzel bean, including the Trionfo Violetto pole beans you'd recommended in a few of your videos. I'm also growing Mosaic Yard Long Beans AKA Asian Stir-fry Beans. I am finding the yield from these particular beans at least 3 times greater than from all the other varieties I'm growing this year because 10 Yard Long beans is about equivalent to 30-40 of the average length bean. I wanted to share because I think the yard long fits perfectly into your theme of growing more in a small space and spending less time in the garden. I can harvest enough beans to feed my large family of 8 in far less time when harvesting the yard long variety. Love your videos! :-)
Thanks for the information, Kelley! I'm glad the beans are producing so well. I'm going to put the Mosaic Yard Long Beans on my wishlist.
This is great, Patrick! It's a great list to go down through and make sure you are doing all you can to be successful in the garden.
Thanks Clay! Every year the garden gets more packed with food!
Tip 10 permaculture crop crops at the same time that benefits each other like the 3 sisters corn beans and squash it might fit into inter-planting. I think that would make a great poster for the greenhouse Great tips!
Thank you for your nice tips!!!
You're welcome, Virginia!
Subscribed! I began growing food in my backyard almost four years ago but its still at the hit-and-miss level. Will try to use some of your tips. Thanks.
You're welcome! Best wishes with your garden this year.
OneYardRevolution | Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening Thank you :)
Love to have a garden like that lots.of green veggies 👍👍
Love the video. Lots of good ideas. I would suggest one plant for you to grow that you haven't mentioned. This year I got seeds from Bakers Creek for an edible podded radish called Rat's Tail Radish.It is the most amazing plant ! I planted 3 of them and they seemed to start out very slowly--but watch out! When they start to flower they send out long tendrils of pods that produce and produce and produce.
You can pickle them,eat them raw, and stir fry them.They taste like radish but if you cook them they remind you of green beans with a bite. I love this variety!
Thanks Julie! The rat's tail radishes sound great! Thanks for the recommendation.
We planted rattail radishes for the first time this year, and we loved them! They look intriguing, and are delicious - quite spicy. The plants are so productive that we ended up rather overwhelmed and ended up having to compost a lot of the crop because we simply couldn't eat and can fast enough! One thing we found was that, like radishes grown underground, they get woody and unpleasant to eat if left on the vine too long. This year I'll plant them again, but not nearly as many as last year!
So great! Thanks so much for your videos!
Thanks, Elise!
definitely will be putting these tips to use this year. thanks
You're welcome!
I have a chicken coop next to them and I use the chicken drops as a fertilizer for the bananas and grapes as well. Thanks for your lovely video.
Great free fertilizer, Rena!
Collect pots and wooden shelves from the curbside during council clean ups to use for your own growing needs ❤ that's what I did recently and it saved me a heap of money! I only paid for bags of potting mix and seeds. The plants can be put on the shelves on a verandah or patio ❤ just pick a nice spot 🌻
Ppl also put pallets out that you can repurpose for raised beds.
I will definitely make one of this organic garden back home... It's beautiful...
Very good advice thank you much. Essentially now in this time with Grocery stores being empty. We are plant based and this vidio is awesome for more space. Thank you stay well eat your veggies and fruits (:
Great!! I like organic gardening.😊
FANTASTIC.... YOUR GARDEN ROCKS..
+Pamela Lehto Thanks, Pamela!
Thanks for your great videos. They're very informative. You have a nice voice that's easy to understand.
Thank you for this video.Please share tips for vertical gardening for community?
You're welcome! Here's a video on vertical gardening: ua-cam.com/video/dCZYAGv-bv0/v-deo.html
Love it ! Nice! God bless you so much. Hoping someday I'll wake up in that garden .it hurts knowing even $1000 for one acre I can't raise even for 5 years.pray with me
Such a beautiful garden and wonderful ideas. Thank.you so.much for sharing with us.
Thanks!
Love your garden, try it on my backyard too
Best wishes with your garden!
Thanks! I don't have a garden yet but would like to start this year. We have a lot of shade and limited space, so this video will help!
You're welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Great tips Patrick. My fav is to go vertical. I need to work on that more.
Thanks Andy. Growing vertically really does make a huge difference.
Great tips!!
Thanks Courtney!
@1:08 The comment about the beds being farther apart for the wheel barrow. I thought about that and pictured beds that were close enough to lay a metal / wood / composite, etc. grate over the bed edges with a ramp to access it from the outer garden when needed. Then, when done with the big project, the grates can be removed / stored.
Thanks for tips! And it was a pleasure to see how neat is everyting in your garden!
You're welcome, Alisa!
Great information Patrick. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Ann!
As always Patrick I this video was helpful and inspiring (the diligence in the way you document your progress is also very inspiring). Thank you
Thanks, Joe! I appreciate your encouraging words and am glad you found the video helpful.
Great video and tips!
Thanks Jayman2042 !
So many plants and vegetables in a small garden, it's great!👌👌
Another great video, Patrick. You are really inspirational!!! Great, practical tips!!!
Thanks, Ingrid!
I'm trying beds for the first time this year. It seems to be going well.
good to hear that small garden can be of great importance. thank you a lot!
Who would thumb this video down? I found it very informative. People are weird.
Good advice very informative. Thank you Patrick.
+Kokila Amin Thanks, Kokila!
Love the way your garden looks, but mine is way smaller. So I choose to integrate the dutch bucket system in to my aquaponics system. Harvest my veggies vertical and even my protienes. Veggies grow faster to, due to constant availability of nutriance..
Thanks! It sounds like you're making great use of your space!
Very inspiring thanks, your garden looks great
As usual, your videos are full of proven ideas. Thank you yet again!
Great video full of helpful tips. Thanks mate 👍
Thanks for the tips, Patrick!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.
Hi, I was looking for ideas for better managing my gardening spaces. The tips in this video are invaluable. Thank you so much.
Concise, to the point, realistic.
Thanks!
Your garden looks nice. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Hi there! Thanks for the tips. I've been lucky to have a few ideas from other gardeners and am using the info you have here (except for the shade garden - I can't quite figure out how to do that as my whole yard is full sun all day!) One tip that might help others (I'm sure it's been given in the past, but what the heck?) Take some old CD's, tie on some Christmas bells and hang them from flimsy strings (they'll swing easier in the breeze). Put them on Jacob's hooks or tall posts right in your planting beds (or close by). It's been super effective in keeping the squirrels and rabbits away from my plants! I've got one up about every two beds. Works great!!
Thanks for the tips, Laura!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Good tips! One more tip is to look into companion planting to deter pests and attract the good bugs. Flowers or herbs are good choices to interplant with your main crop.
Thanks! Good one!
Great video Patrick, really learn a lot from your videos as well as how to make an entertaining and educational videos
Thanks Isabella and Jaidyn!
Thanks a lot ! I can use a lot of it in my garden! Happy Gardening!
Many glorious ground covers. Some drought tolerant. My faves are Hacienda Creeper or Virginia Creeper.
I had to make my own garden beds out of dirt 😂, some do have a border but only as we find free wood. Trying to keep our costs low at a community garden. I’m loving the tips though, I was making 2 feet wide boxes with a two foot path all around. Realizing now that like you mentioned the other areas can have a big path but the inner ones less 👍
Hanging planters can hold an amazing amount of plants, and the vines of some can just hang down, such as in strawberries. These do well attached to tree branches, fences, or even clothes lines.
The best video ever I found on youtube.Good job
Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the tips you give in our videos!! I've started a garden one year ago.Since the beginnig I've been whatching your channel, and you realy help and motivate me to keep doing better! Big hug from Portugal
You're welcome, Mariana! Best wishes with your garden!
This was really an eyeopener for me to optimise the use of land
I have MS and, as a result, get tired easily. I've found that if I put a chair in the walkways between my boxes to sit on while I plant and harvest I don't get as tired. I also have to work during the cooler parts of the day.
Thanks for your wonderful videos.
This is a fantastic video... I am an organic farmer myself. I produce my own fertilizer and other concoctions. I operate at my backyard in an urban estate in Nairobi, Kenya. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Awesome advice. I just love your video's. Thanks for sharing. Janice
+jksatte Thanks, Janice! I appreciate you letting me know.
I hope you are well. Thank you for your videos.
Excellent video.Really has me reconsidering raised beds for my garden. I've traditionally planted in rows.
Thanks, Pierre! Even if you don't use raised beds, you could always grow in larger plots instead of rows. Thanks for watching!
I wish I have a garden buddy. I can spend all day in a garden. Just love to grow things
Mee too i also want a garden buddy intrested in plants
Thankd for sharing Patrick. Really appreciate your videos!
You're very welcome, Stevie! Thanks for watching!
Thank You Patrick
really like the video
Thanks, fely hilman!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.
Thanks, James! In my experience, when spinach bolts it's pretty much the beginning of the end as far as food production. The best way to delay bolting is to grow spinach in partial shade.
mine bolted early too and only got a few leaves off of it as they didn't grow very much (pre-tea days lol) So, I just started some more and will be getting them tea-drunk so I can eat some spinach before they bolt lol
I'm going to grow some good king henry this year as well as tree collards and malabar spinach.
Thank you for a quick overview of these useful tips!
You're welcome!
There's some great information here, I'm going to try harder to incorporate some of your tips into my back yard, thank you.
+Petals on the Paving Slabs Thanks! I hope these tips work well for you!
we only have a small space to plant vegetables so I think tip no. 9 is the best option for me.
nice garden. :)
+Avy Gee Thanks! Growing in pots and containers is an excellent way to go!
Excellent tips
Thanks!
Awesome ideas! I've already started some things in the house.......2 pinapple plants, red kale, baby bok choy, garlic, carrots, purple sweet potatoes, green onions, 6 types of lettuces and Pink Lady apple seeds germinating in the fridge.
Thanks, Jaemee! You're off to a great start. Best wishes with your garden!
Wonderful gardening tips thanks
