Digging your channel, keep up the good work! For such a huge state we don't have enough gardening channels considering each large city has a different growing zone. Stick with it, with more regular vids and your channel will grow as well as your garden :)
I like your composting efforts, great stuff. I appreciate the Back to Eden method, though I don't use it myself, the methods are sound. You have a nice garden.
i have a bunch of cherry tomato plants that i planted in march that are still producing tons of tomatoes. I knew that they did best in the heat and lasted longer in the season, but never expected them to go this long. :-)
I'm NW of Houston and the best hot weather cucumber I've found that not only survives the flames of hell but still produces, is an heirloom variety called White Wonder. The skins are a tad tougher than typical cukes and they'll get huge fast if you don't harvest regularly, but even then they don't get bitter as fast as the green cukes do. The taste is fabulous and almost more like a melon. Might be something fun to try if you can get the seeds.
Howdy neighbor, it's so funny, we have everything you listed seed wise growing in our Texas garden. I wanted to send you some Boule D'or melon seed to grow. If you're interested?
The big decision of whether to pull or not! Lol. I pulled everything but the peppers. Got some green beans coming in though. Prepping my beds for fall!
Have you ever tried cucuzza? Good lord, you could feed the world with two of those plants.They are delicious and you can cook them the same ways that you would cook any squash.
Thank you for your excellent video about Texas Gardening. I have great success with all kinds of peppers because they love the Texas heat. I planted Squash in July and they were doing great until the dreaded Squash Vine Borer Moth decided to lay their eggs on my zuchinni. I got one zuchinni until the larvae decided to hatch in my beloved plant. Have you had this problem?
Yes. I have lots of SVB moths. They hit my zucchini squash first. Then the white scallop squash second. I’m still able to get a good life span on my squash even with the SVB. And I planted more squash for the fall.
By the way, a huge litter (maybe hundreds ?) of toads just hatched near my garden water spigot. As they grow, I hope they help control some bad bugs....hope they leave lady bugs and praying mathis's alone ?
I work at a local nursery in North Texas and I am thinking about starting a gardening Channel. what are some tips or recommendations that you can give me for getting started?
I’m pretty new to it myself. But I would say make videos for a specific audience. Don’t try to make videos that will please all people, because that won’t happen lol. Be personal, not fake. And get a good microphone.
Hey you should still do the videos- it's hard finding NTX specific growing channels. Even short ones for little things you've picked up on. Or short comparisons to things like different root powders (bc they were all the same when I read the ingredients lol, but maybe not everyone does that).
20 min north of Austin. As long as you continue to build soil it won’t matter what type of soil you have. Most of my plants now grow in the new soil I built on top of the bad soil.
@@MyTexasYard I try to grow Mint around in my garden. Mice hate Mint...So far no mice, but then, I don't have many veggies yet. Not sure if snakes like Mint or not. Need to research for snake repellent plants.....I'm in Dallas.
Watching june 2023.
I'm in belton and trying gardening for the first time. Your channel is helpful for sure. Thanks. Nice to see fellow Texans on here.
Awesome.
What type of garden do you have? Raised beds or in ground?

I appreciate the comments.
I agree, there should be more Texas based garden channels. It’s so different here than most other places.
Very cool man, great to see a fellow Texan gardener! Liked and subscribed

Robinson, TX here. This is my second year with a garden. Thanks for the info.

Awesome. I have tried keeping large tomatoes through the fall, but the cherry and grape size do much better.
Good to know. I started mine in April. ❤ I hope they do well.
Love finding other Texas gardeners.
I'm also in Texas
I’m surprised at how few garden channels there are from people in Texas. Nice to see another one.

I have seen those seeds before and almost ordered them. I’ll give them a try.
Your apple tree looks happy! What kind would grow well in TX??
Nice garden op vray nice

Lol yea I can’t hardly bring myself to pull anything. And it causes me to get a late start on the next crop.
My Texas Yard I’m the same way.
Have you ever tried cucuzza? Good lord, you could feed the world with two of those plants.They are delicious and you can cook them the same ways that you would cook any squash.
I’ll have to look that one up. If it’s as productive as it sounds I’ll def give it a try.
I'm in Greenville, TX and trying to get my first backyard garden going.
Awesome. The first year is the hardest.

@@MyTexasYard But how do you control them ?

Central Tx gardening here as well. Have you tried Beit Alpha Cucumbers? Mine did SUPER last year Spring-November.
I have not. I’ll have to try them.
Hello Veronica. How’re you?

Prepping for the fall. How about pumpkins?
I have not tried pumpkins yet.
Because space is limited, I have not grow anything that I was not planning on eating. I would like to grow them though.
What kind of dog is that?
What part of Texas are you in? We are having a house built in wheatherford and unsure of the soil lol!
20 min north of Austin. As long as you continue to build soil it won’t matter what type of soil you have. Most of my plants now grow in the new soil I built on top of the bad soil.
Do melons attract the darn squash bugs, anyone ? thanx💐
I have not had squash bugs on my melons. Pill bugs are usually what gets my melons right when they sprout.
Houston?
30 min north of Austin.
@@MyTexasYard are you up in Salado? Cheers from South Austin and thank you for a great vid!
Hi .How’re e you doing?
Another potential downside to the dense planting - snakes.
It does make it harder to see if there was a snake, but I would rather have the snake than the mice. Personal preference lol
