That IS EXTRAORDINARY, Patrick. Even tho I grew up helping my MOM do what you're doing on a 'city lot', it's still amazing to see it done today on video. I'm thinking if it was anybody else but YOU showing that harvest, I'd be calling 'BS'. Much respect, and many kudos.
It's like the "clown car" of gardening... The harvested fruits and vegetables just keep coming and coming! Absolutely amazing garden! I've just discovered your channel and I'm hooked. =)
Major case of garden envy over here! I never thought I'd get into gardening. I always thought it was wasteful to invest time and water into plants that were just for show. It never clicked in my brain to grow edible plants until I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago. Thanks to you we are eagerly anticipating our first harvest of fruits and veggies!
Those are pretty awesome harvests - not a word I use often - you're vary lucky you can grow tomatoes outside, here, because of blight that's not possible which does limit the number of plants one can grow. But I'm not complaining, we're doing rather well this year, and sweet million is one of our favourites.
Thanks, Helle! I'm glad you enjoy sweet millions too. They seem to resist blight here better than many other varieties. Out plants get hit with blight in August, but we're fortunate that it usually isn't bad enough to kill the plants.
Hi Patrick, you make the best gardening videos! I would love to see more how-to videos on growing basil. Yours looks fantastic! All mine did was go to seed and produced very little foliage. Thanks for making such excellent videos! It's always a pleasure to watch them :)
For Pete's sake! You make it look so easy! As an added benefit for growing the beans up the tomato stake is deterring the rabbits. They snipped some fully grown bean plants 3 inches from the ground (the little @#$#@%$!), but left the vines growing with the tomatoes have never been touched. Patrick, you know you could easily overwinter those peppers, right? I don't know how much space you have in the grow room, but if I can do it, you can! I'm getting a crazy number of peppers from my one plant that I kept through the winter.
Thanks! Sweet Million cherry tomatoes are always our first to ripen. We're still waiting for our larger tomatoes to ripen. I hope yours are ready to harvest soon!
Hi Patrick, I love watching your videos and your laid-back, no-fuss approach to gardening. I'm only growing some tomatoes, herbs and salad greens on my balcony at the moment, but I hope to have a real garden one day. Best of luck in the future ... Say hi to Oscar 😀
Wonderful harvest Patrick! Love all your tomato varieties. I grew a ton of beans this year as well. So glad you mentioned how long before a good harvest on the blueberries. I have four plants this year so I guess I have a few more years before a good harvest... Take Care, :) Peaches
Hi Patrick--great harvest! I'm envious of your blackberry harvest--I don't stand a chance against the birds at my place. I have yet to get a single one. Greedy Blue Jays! Great video. I enjoyed seeing your harvest.
Thanks, Susan! We use bird netting on our strawberries and blueberries, but birds leave our blackberries alone - probably because of the thorns. Do you have thornless blackberries?
Thanks for sharing the wonderful harvest! I've been so discouraged with my 2nd year of gardening. With limited sun (4 hrs) and just switching over to the deep mulch/no dig method this year, I got hit with pretty much every gardening disaster imaginable. I did get one zucchini, a handful of cucumbers, and plenty of jalapenos and cherry tomatoes, so I'm trying to remain optimistic and remember that Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm going to try some hybrid seeds out next year, and try some shorter carrots and maybe next year will be better :). Love your sun challenged garden - it gives me hope!
You're welcome, Kerith! The garden will definitely improve over time. Yes, smaller carrots and smaller varieties in general will definitely grow better in a shady garden.
Great and abundant harvests Patrick. I love Nardellos too but I planted so many last year that I got sick of eating them, can you imagine that? So I am mixing it up with Marconis and Anaheims this season. You've encouraged me to try more of a permaculture approach this year than having one area for tomatoes, one for capsicums and so on. Seems a waste of a fence for example for beans when I can just plant one or two with each tomato. I hope it works well even in my small garden where pests and airborne disease only have at most a few metres to travel to get from plant to plant. We're expecting our first baby in spring so it will be a doubly exciting time for us!
Congratulations on your first baby! How exciting! When growing tomatoes and beans up the same stake, I recommend only doing it with single stemmed indeterminate tomatoes. Like you said, I'd start with only 1 or 2 beans on a few stakes and see how it goes.
What a beautiful, bountiful harvest! I'm jealous. We have so many critters in the yard (mostly rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels, and birds), and they eat a large share. Other than polyculture planting, I'd like to learn how you keep animals at bay.
Thanks! I cover our blueberries and strawberries with bird netting to keep birds away. They don't bother blackberries (probably because of the thorns). I lay metal grids (you could use chicken wire) down on the beds to keep squirrels and birds from digging up seedlings. If rabbits were a problem, I'd use fencing to keep them out. I hope this helps!
Not sure I believe it's organic AND as easy as he makes it look! I see no infestations whatsoever. lol Is it just Georgia or something? Bugs everywhere.
Gorgeous, healthy harvest. Who could ask for more? Love the idea of growing pole beans up tomato plants. Will try that in my container garden next yr. Thanks Patrick
Impressive harvest! And just amazingly beautiful garden. It is SUCH a big dream of mine to have a garden as beautiful and productive and healthy as yours one day. You're definitely inspiring me to keep learning and keep gardening better. Really, thank you so much for the continued inspiration and education Patrick. Wishing you and your little family and your garden a lovely fall. :) Cheers.
The blueberry bush that was on this property we bought in 2015, has SO many blueberries, I am going to have to begin to make pies! I have already made muffins, a blueberry cake and my husband goes out in the early evenings and grazes on blueberries! It's simply NUTS with the fruit. We found an abandoned apple tree that is producing apples right now. They are not ripe just yet, but when they are, we will be waiting! I plan on starting a new blueberry bush and seeing if I can graft a bit of the apple tree and begin a new tree closer to the house. Thanks for letting us see what you got. I may get these purple pole beans you mention as my husband is very fond of dilly beans. Will this variety of bean do will in a canning environment?
I'm glad you and your husband are enjoying your berries too, Barbara! It's really amazing how many berries you can get in a small space! Trionfo Violetto beans should can well, though I've never canned them.
Great Harvest Patrick, your garden is very productive as usual, have you tried the Fortex pole beans they are delicious, not quite as good yield as the Trionfo's but better tasting. Cheers. :-)
Nice harvest. I get more of a harvest in August as well. Kentucky pole beans are a well producing bean , delicious to. Love the Sweet William cherry tomatoes The variety of produce sure makes some delicious meals. Enjoy it immensely. :)
Look at that garden and I hate you. No I don't. Yes I do. No I don't. Wait, I want to, but I can't hate a fantastic gardener who has a cool cat LOL!! Well done.
I really enjoy your inspiring videos, Patrick. Living in dry So Cal, I'd love to hear what your watering practices are - how you water, how much and how often. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Martha! We get quite a bit of rain here, so I don't have to water often. I sometimes go for weeks without watering, but currently I'm watering about once per week (with a garden hose).
I've never had luck with beans. They'll grow & flower but put out few to none. I've tried full sun to partial shade. I mostly just put compost & vermicompost on them. Sometimes I've used store bought fertilizer. I've also tried to plant different times of the year. Blech!
OneYardRevolution | Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening when I manage to get beans they tend to be kind of stunted & not filled out well Maybe it's just too hot here (tx.)
Planting earlier in the season might help. I'd plant as soon as the soil temperature is 60 degrees (hopefully it gets that cool there) and there's no risk of frost.
Wow its all so beautiful Patrick! I guess bc of our zone differences, our fruits ripen at different rates . Theres about 1month between them. Oh well. I checked the wild plums Friday and they will be ready this week! We didnt have any last yr due to a late freeze. Im ready to make preserves! My niece opened a sandwich shop in town this week and wants to get all of her greens onions and herbs from me next yr. So i have already started planning what i will do and grow differently next yr!
Great haul Patrick. I'm a purest when it comes to straight berry cobbler, but my partner loves Apple and Black berries which we find wild here in NZ. The Black berries are a mass of thorns and I always come away bloody and sore, but yours look like a thorn-less variety?
Thanks, Jon! I've thought about trying an apple/blackberry cobbler but haven't yet. Our blackberries have thorns, but I'm used to them. You can see the cuts on my hands when I'm harvesting the blueberries. LOL
What an amazing harvest! You are truly an inspiration to beginner gardeners like me. I planted amaranth for the first time, and the leaves have been devoured by insects to the point that they can't be used anymore for consumption. Do you use any organic insecticides on your leafy greens? Any suggestions on how to avoid this problem the next time?
Thanks, Anu! I'm sorry to hear about your amaranth plants. What insects ate them? Knowing that will help determine the proper response. I don't use any pesticides on my greens, but there are times when I would use organic controls if needed.
Beautiful! I know you guys eat a lot of produce, but do you eat all those beans? And the rest of your produce? We've had a heat wave so I'm having preserving anything, and while we eat quite a bit of produce each day as well (produce loving family of 4) I always try and plan my garden for eliminating grocery store produce or easy storing produce/expensive treats. I would love a video of how much you guys eat a day, how you prep your produce, storing, how long it lasts, Your meals made with it, etc. Thanks again Patrick! Happy gardening!
Thanks! And thanks for the video ideas. We eat most of the produce fresh from the garden. So far this season, I've stored onions, garlic, and potatoes. I dried some peppers and froze some beans and peppers (not much though).
Great video as always, Patrick. Have you discovered a way to freeze the few beans you do so they don't end up being "rubbery" like mine?? Thanks so much for your many informative tutorials (although it can get a bit depressing by times comparing your results to mine although I'm improving thanks to you...and Oscar of course.
Brilliant as always but where do you store it all? My freezer is full. Do you have other methods you use? I'm in a very small bungalow and I mean small, I just can't see where I can store apart from bottling which I have never tried. What I need is a nice cool basement.
Thanks, Lesley! Though we have a surplus, it's not a huge one. We eat most of the crops fresh. I dehydrated all of the little yellow peppers and will run them through the food processor and store them as a spice. I'll probably freeze some of the peppers too. I've also frozen some berries and we have potatoes in the basement. Other than that, everything is eaten within days of being harvested.
Patrick watch your video's all the time helped me a lot this spring on when to plant seeds. Just wondering if and what kind of pest control you use if any? Thank's Carl from Michigan
Thanks, Carl! I'm glad my videos have helped. For the most part, my approach is to create an environment that is hospitable to pests and predators alike and let them sort it out. The only pesticide I've used in the garden in the last 10 years is Sluggo Plus, which is a very effective organic slug control. I don't use it anymore, because ground beetles and centipedes that live in the mulch eat the slugs. Wasps help control cabbage butterflies by eating the larvae. I also rely on manual control when needed. This video describes my approach in more detail: ua-cam.com/video/BqRklCi-FDA/v-deo.html
What a great harvest! I have a question about your basil harvest. I've always just pinched off leaves for what I need, but I saw you actually cut a chunk of the plant in the video. Have you ever just taken the leaves, and if so do you notice a different effect on the health of the plant with one method compared to the other? Thanks!
Thanks, Kate! Topping the plants off when they're tall makes them grow more branches and keeps them from bolting and flowering. I pinch lower leaves too, especially when the plants are smaller.
Hi Patrick! Those Nardello peppers look gorgeous, love that deep red color! I'm going to have to plant some of those next year for sure. The only peppers I planted this year are the Cubanelle type, they are a greenish yellow thin skinned frying pepper which will turn red if you leave them long enough, did you ever grow any of those? Great video as always!
Awsome video! I did not had any great success with the basil because of fusarium wilt. Is there any recommended way to prevent it? I really like pesto. :/
Thanks! That's a tough one to deal with and I've been fortunate not to encounter it. I'd try interplanting basil all over the garden next to plants that are not vulnerable to fusarium wilt. This might help reduce the spread of the disease. And, of course, I'd remove all diseased plant material from the garden.
I started the basil indoors in April and transplanted it out after the last frost. There are dozens of plants in that one bed. I don't do anything special for them. Just add some compost or worm castings and mulch. They're in a nice sunny spot too.
Wow, beautiful garden. Nice harvest! Expart gardener. I love your work. Ilike your channel. Keep it up dear. 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

Thanks! We get a good amount of rain here. I sometimes go for weeks without having to water. Lately I've been watering about once per week. PM isn't too big of a problem for us. All I do is remove infected leaves.
Where did you buy your grow bags and how do you like them? Are you able to reuse them for multiple years? Also do you have to water them often (as they are in a container and in your sunnier front yard)?
Yes, the grow bags hold up very well. They're in their 3rd year and are as good as new. We get quite a bit of rain here, so I only have to water the containers about once per week. Here's where we get the bags: amzn.to/2vqq2C2
Hi Patrick, First of all, I want to say your garden looks so amazing! Great work! My blueberries are not doing great this year in my garden.. I only harvested some blueberries from one plant. The rest of the plants are carrying no berries at all... I don't know why this is.. The plants are getting a bit high though and we had some late frosts in late spring. Do you have any advise for my blueberries? I hope they will produce abundant again next year, like they did last year :) Greetings from Holland.
My guess is the late frost too. My fruit trees have only a couple fruits forming this year and my blueberries were very very abundant last year... I took the plants over on my allotment when I started three years ago and I guess they are there for a while now. I mulch the soil arround the plants with cardboard and woodchips. Do you think any pruning is neccesary on blueberry plants??
Living on the veg. Hi Oscar. Patrick, I noticed your tomatillos out front - do you have to put 2 side by side? Mine are few feet apart and no fruit yet. As for blueberries, how do you apply aluminum sulphate? I mix with water first but sometimes we get a lot of rain and I wanted to know if you can work it dry into the soil before a heavy rainfall. As always, trying to reduce work in the garden.
Hi Valerie! We have 3 or 4 plants out front but they're not right next to each other. A few feet apart should be fine. I use elemental sulfur instead of aluminum sulfate. I apply some on the soil surface every fall.
Gread Video! How do you make your cobblers? If I remember correctly you said that your vegetarian. I checked out and liked your Facebook Page. Thanks again!
I love your garden! This is my first year gardening in a long time. I would love to set my garden up similar to yours. Do you have any videos on your exact layout? I've watched several videos and I want to do what you do as it obviously works very well.
OneYardRevolution | Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening Thank you! I see you are growing honey berries. I haven't tried them yet but I'm really considering growing them. My family loves blueberries and raspberries and I heard they taste close to those, do they?
2020 - We miss you, Patrick! Please consider resuming your garden videos next year or even this fall. Best wishes from Virginia!
I have severe garden jealousy right now! LOL Can't wait until our garden is a beautiful and productive as that. Thanks for sharing all that you do.
You're welcome! Best wishes with your garden!
Nothing beats fresh picked berries!!
I couldn't agree more, Jacob!
That IS EXTRAORDINARY, Patrick. Even tho I grew up helping my MOM do what you're doing on a 'city lot', it's still amazing to see it done today on video. I'm thinking if it was anybody else but YOU showing that harvest, I'd be calling 'BS'. Much respect, and many kudos.
Thanks! And this was just one harvest!
What a joy to see the tremendous fruits of your organic no till gardening. Can't wait for my little garden to look like that!
Thanks Patricia!
Thank u heap Patrick. Cannot wait for our garden to bloom again.from melbourne
Best wishes with your garden, Tethra!
It's like the "clown car" of gardening... The harvested fruits and vegetables just keep coming and coming! Absolutely amazing garden! I've just discovered your channel and I'm hooked. =)
Thanks!
What a joy to see such plentiful harvest!
Thanks, Lina!
Major case of garden envy over here! I never thought I'd get into gardening. I always thought it was wasteful to invest time and water into plants that were just for show. It never clicked in my brain to grow edible plants until I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago. Thanks to you we are eagerly anticipating our first harvest of fruits and veggies!
Best wishes with your first harvest! Thanks for letting me know my videos helped.
Hii Patrick! Fantastic harvest!!Those red tomatoes makes me mouthwatering,lol.Best wishes,Shalbin
Thanks, Shalbin!
Those are pretty awesome harvests - not a word I use often - you're vary lucky you can grow tomatoes outside, here, because of blight that's not possible which does limit the number of plants one can grow. But I'm not complaining, we're doing rather well this year, and sweet million is one of our favourites.
Thanks, Helle! I'm glad you enjoy sweet millions too. They seem to resist blight here better than many other varieties. Out plants get hit with blight in August, but we're fortunate that it usually isn't bad enough to kill the plants.
I think is the best looking garden in all you tube so far. Absolutely stunning! Please keep it up.
Thanks!
Hi Patrick.. . amazing harvest. . ur garden keeps looking better every year. Feels like abundance when I see ur garden. Thank u for sharing.
Thank you!
Super crop especially tomatoes are so bright and shiny
Thanks!
Great harvest. Amazing to see so many crops in limited space, welldone Patrick.
Thank you, Ali!
All i can say is.... "WOOOWWWWW"....... Out of a very small garden...
Love your channel :-)
Thanks, Meinita!
everything looks so healthy and beautiful.
Thanks!
love your harvest videos. It is so inspiring.
Thanks, Donnalda!
What a wonderful garden you have!
Thanks, Rowan!
Great, You're such a good guy and gardener. Thumbs up!

You are awesome!!!!
Love your garden, thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you, Rebecca!
Thanks for sharing your videos, I really enjoy them.
Thanks, David!
Awesome! I wish I was your neighbor 😀 I am never able to reap that much tomatoes before the bugs attack. Love your videos!
Thanks! What kind of bugs get your tomatoes?
I love your harvest - I wish my tomatoes were ripening as quick :)
Thanks! Sweet Million cherry tomatoes are always our first to ripen. We're still waiting for our larger tomatoes to ripen. I hope yours are ready to harvest soon!
What a awesome harvest... Thanks for sharing.. :)
Thanks, Angie!
Hi Patrick,
I love watching your videos and your laid-back, no-fuss approach to gardening.
I'm only growing some tomatoes, herbs and salad greens on my balcony at the moment, but I hope to have a real garden one day.
Best of luck in the future ... Say hi to Oscar 😀

What a haul. Great work mate.

Great video. I enjoyed seeing your harvest.
Thanks, Susan! We use bird netting on our strawberries and blueberries, but birds leave our blackberries alone - probably because of the thorns. Do you have thornless blackberries?
Yes. Good for me.........and I'm guessing good for the birds.
Sigh.
That squash is ridiculous, I love how you walk by it like its normal... :)
LOL! That's funny. The squash fruit will be more noticeable soon too. They get huge.
Beautiful sight during this winter snowstorm!
Thanks Julie!

Wow, thanks!
Not sure I believe it's organic AND as easy as he makes it look! I see no infestations whatsoever. lol Is it just Georgia or something? Bugs everywhere.
Congrats on 100k, you desert it and more!
Thanks!
Love your videos and information! I grew Trionfo Violetto on your recommendation here in Colorado - they are wonderful!!
Thanks, Peggy! I'm glad you like the Trionfo Violetto beans too!
Gorgeous, healthy harvest. Who could ask for more? Love the idea of growing pole beans up tomato plants. Will try that in my container garden next yr. Thanks Patrick
Thanks, Sophie! The tomato/pole bean technique is working well for us. Make sure to start on a small scale just in case your results differ.
You sure get the maximum output for the land you have. I hope to have the same output you have achieved in my garden too. ~ Happy gardening, Mark
Thanks! I hope you do too, Mark.
Abundance and a happy time for you 👍👍. What was tomato plant variety you used in your experiment? They were bigger that the sweet millions.
Thanks! I'm not 100% sure what variety it is. It came from a volunteer tomato. It could be a Sweet Million "parent".
You're living my dream! So glad to have watched it. Looking forward to a book so we can emulate your techniques . Keep the videos coming! Cheers!
Thank you for the encouragement, Kathleen!
Wow, your garden is "off the hook"! Thanks for your continued inspiration.
Thank you!
Wow! Beautiful harvest.
Thanks!
Nice harvest.
Thanks, Andrew!
You're welcome. Might see about planting some of those next year.
Congratulation my friend, from south Chile,sudamerica.
Thank you!
Impressive harvest! And just amazingly beautiful garden. It is SUCH a big dream of mine to have a garden as beautiful and productive and healthy as yours one day. You're definitely inspiring me to keep learning and keep gardening better. Really, thank you so much for the continued inspiration and education Patrick. Wishing you and your little family and your garden a lovely fall. :) Cheers.
Thanks so much, Inger! You can definitely do it! It's amazing how gardens can get better and better every year. Gardeners too!
Thanks for the encouragement! :)
Hey Patrick, could you please make a video on preserving the surplus food you produce in the garden?
Thanks for the idea!
Jealous of that basil and pepper harvest! I harvested my one habanero today ha.
I hope you have plenty more ripening and ready to harvest soon, Christopher!
Haha sadly my couple of plans are not looking hopeful. It is a learning process.
The blueberry bush that was on this property we bought in 2015, has SO many blueberries, I am going to have to begin to make pies! I have already made muffins, a blueberry cake and my husband goes out in the early evenings and grazes on blueberries! It's simply NUTS with the fruit.

Thanks, Kevin! I haven't tried Fortex beans yet. Thanks for the recommendation!
Wow! Your garden looks amazing now! And the harvest😍!
Thanks, Emma!
Nice harvest. I get more of a harvest in August as well. Kentucky pole beans are a well producing bean , delicious to. Love the Sweet William cherry tomatoes
The variety of produce sure makes some delicious meals. Enjoy it immensely. :)
Thanks, Pam! I'm glad you like the Sweet Millions too!
That's awesome, thanks for your inspiration!
Thanks, Jim!
Look at that garden and I hate you. No I don't. Yes I do. No I don't. Wait, I want to, but I can't hate a fantastic gardener who has a cool cat LOL!! Well done.
LOL
Very nice Patrick, Always great videos, Gratz on 100k Keep rocking!!!
Thanks!
How awesome! Im so jealous!
Thanks, Shane!
amazing harvest! glad to hear the music back 😊
Thanks, Mari!
I really enjoy your inspiring videos, Patrick. Living in dry So Cal, I'd love to hear what your watering practices are - how you water, how much and how often. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Martha! We get quite a bit of rain here, so I don't have to water often. I sometimes go for weeks without watering, but currently I'm watering about once per week (with a garden hose).
That harvest is telling me to make a homemade red sauce with those peppers, tomatoes and basil. Fruit cobbler for desert.
I couldn't agree more!
Nice harvest! I'll get there one day... lots of soil building to do!
Best wishes with your garden!
I've never had luck with beans. They'll grow & flower but put out few to none. I've tried full sun to partial shade. I mostly just put compost & vermicompost on them. Sometimes I've used store bought fertilizer. I've also tried to plant different times of the year. Blech!
I'm sorry to hear that. Do the plants appear to be affected by a disease or pest?
OneYardRevolution | Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening when I manage to get beans they tend to be kind of stunted & not filled out well
Maybe it's just too hot here (tx.)
Planting earlier in the season might help. I'd plant as soon as the soil temperature is 60 degrees (hopefully it gets that cool there) and there's no risk of frost.
Let's harvest.
😁
WOW.
Thanks, Michele!
Fantastic!
Thanks!
Very impressive Patrick !!!
Thanks, John!
The amazing abundance thanks to the Almighty! Love it.
Thanks!
Wow its all so beautiful Patrick! I guess bc of our zone differences, our fruits ripen at different rates . Theres about 1month between them. Oh well. I checked the wild plums Friday and they will be ready this week! We didnt have any last yr due to a late freeze. Im ready to make preserves!
My niece opened a sandwich shop in town this week and wants to get all of her greens onions and herbs from me next yr. So i have already started planning what i will do and grow differently next yr!
Thanks! Very cool that you'll be supplying greens for your nieces sandwich shop!
Great haul Patrick. I'm a purest when it comes to straight berry cobbler, but my partner loves Apple and Black berries which we find wild here in NZ. The Black berries are a mass of thorns and I always come away bloody and sore, but yours look like a thorn-less variety?
Thanks, Jon! I've thought about trying an apple/blackberry cobbler but haven't yet. Our blackberries have thorns, but I'm used to them. You can see the cuts on my hands when I'm harvesting the blueberries. LOL
Congrats! So nice to see, so happy for you!
What an amazing harvest! You are truly an inspiration to beginner gardeners like me.
I planted amaranth for the first time, and the leaves have been devoured by insects to the point that they can't be used anymore for consumption. Do you use any organic insecticides on your leafy greens? Any suggestions on how to avoid this problem the next time?
Thanks, Anu! I'm sorry to hear about your amaranth plants. What insects ate them? Knowing that will help determine the proper response. I don't use any pesticides on my greens, but there are times when I would use organic controls if needed.
Beautiful! I know you guys eat a lot of produce, but do you eat all those beans? And the rest of your produce?
We've had a heat wave so I'm having preserving anything, and while we eat quite a bit of produce each day as well (produce loving family of 4) I always try and plan my garden for eliminating grocery store produce or easy storing produce/expensive treats.
I would love a video of how much you guys eat a day, how you prep your produce, storing, how long it lasts, Your meals made with it, etc.
Thanks again Patrick! Happy gardening!
Thanks! And thanks for the video ideas. We eat most of the produce fresh from the garden. So far this season, I've stored onions, garlic, and potatoes. I dried some peppers and froze some beans and peppers (not much though).
Great video as always, Patrick. Have you discovered a way to freeze the few beans you do so they don't end up being "rubbery" like mine?? Thanks so much for your many informative tutorials (although it can get a bit depressing by times comparing your results to mine although I'm improving thanks to you...and Oscar of course.
Awesome! Inspiring!
Thanks, Gabriela!
Hello there. Are you gong to do a vid on your grocery cost versus harvest for July?
Hi Isaac! I'm going to do that vid later this month. Thanks for your interest!
Brilliant as always but where do you store it all? My freezer is full. Do you have other methods you use? I'm in a very small bungalow and I mean small, I just can't see where I can store apart from bottling which I have never tried. What I need is a nice cool basement.
Thanks, Lesley! Though we have a surplus, it's not a huge one. We eat most of the crops fresh. I dehydrated all of the little yellow peppers and will run them through the food processor and store them as a spice. I'll probably freeze some of the peppers too. I've also frozen some berries and we have potatoes in the basement. Other than that, everything is eaten within days of being harvested.
Patrick watch your video's all the time helped me a lot this spring on when to plant seeds. Just wondering if and what kind of pest control you use if any? Thank's Carl from Michigan
Thanks, Carl! I'm glad my videos have helped. For the most part, my approach is to create an environment that is hospitable to pests and predators alike and let them sort it out. The only pesticide I've used in the garden in the last 10 years is Sluggo Plus, which is a very effective organic slug control. I don't use it anymore, because ground beetles and centipedes that live in the mulch eat the slugs. Wasps help control cabbage butterflies by eating the larvae. I also rely on manual control when needed. This video describes my approach in more detail: ua-cam.com/video/BqRklCi-FDA/v-deo.html
Fantastic! ..Off to face Book to see what you're makin' ~Blessings~

Nice harvest
Thanks, Chandan!
OYR Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening welcome
What a great harvest! I have a question about your basil harvest. I've always just pinched off leaves for what I need, but I saw you actually cut a chunk of the plant in the video. Have you ever just taken the leaves, and if so do you notice a different effect on the health of the plant with one method compared to the other? Thanks!
Thanks, Kate! Topping the plants off when they're tall makes them grow more branches and keeps them from bolting and flowering. I pinch lower leaves too, especially when the plants are smaller.
Hi Patrick! Those Nardello peppers look gorgeous, love that deep red color! I'm going to have to plant some of those next year for sure. The only peppers I planted this year are the Cubanelle type, they are a greenish yellow thin skinned frying pepper which will turn red if you leave them long enough, did you ever grow any of those? Great video as always!
Thanks, John! I haven't grown Cubanelle peppers yet, but I'm looking to add some new sweet peppers! I hope you like the Jimmy Nardellos.
Awsome video! I did not had any great success with the basil because of fusarium wilt. Is there any recommended way to prevent it? I really like pesto. :/
Thanks! That's a tough one to deal with and I've been fortunate not to encounter it. I'd try interplanting basil all over the garden next to plants that are not vulnerable to fusarium wilt. This might help reduce the spread of the disease. And, of course, I'd remove all diseased plant material from the garden.
Hi Patrick, could you do on how you grew that hedge of basil?!
I started the basil indoors in April and transplanted it out after the last frost. There are dozens of plants in that one bed. I don't do anything special for them. Just add some compost or worm castings and mulch. They're in a nice sunny spot too.
Thanks
You're welcome!

You're garden is so beautiful and lush man. I'm curious, how often do you water and how do you deal with PM on your squash?
Thanks! We get a good amount of rain here. I sometimes go for weeks without having to water. Lately I've been watering about once per week. PM isn't too big of a problem for us. All I do is remove infected leaves.
Ah that's ideal! Thanks! Keep up the inspiring work!
I am always so impressed with your garden and harvest!! Thank you so much for sharing :)
Thank you!
:)
you are great
Thanks, Mohamed!
I always love the vids. I can't wait to see how much food you produced this year. :)
Thanks!
Love your garden Patrick. Are you pruning the peppers' top to become bush like?
Thanks, Kostas! Yes, I pruned my peppers back once while they were still in the grow room.
Do you also do that for the eggplants?
No, I don't prune eggplants.
Where did you buy your grow bags and how do you like them? Are you able to reuse them for multiple years? Also do you have to water them often (as they are in a container and in your sunnier front yard)?
Yes, the grow bags hold up very well. They're in their 3rd year and are as good as new. We get quite a bit of rain here, so I only have to water the containers about once per week. Here's where we get the bags: amzn.to/2vqq2C2
Hi Patrick,
First of all, I want to say your garden looks so amazing! Great work!
My blueberries are not doing great this year in my garden.. I only harvested some blueberries from one plant. The rest of the plants are carrying no berries at all... I don't know why this is.. The plants are getting a bit high though and we had some late frosts in late spring. Do you have any advise for my blueberries? I hope they will produce abundant again next year, like they did last year :)
Greetings from Holland.
It's possible that the late frost was responsible. How long have you had the plants? Do you do anything to keep the soil pH low?
My guess is the late frost too. My fruit trees have only a couple fruits forming this year and my blueberries were very very abundant last year... I took the plants over on my allotment when I started three years ago and I guess they are there for a while now. I mulch the soil arround the plants with cardboard and woodchips. Do you think any pruning is neccesary on blueberry plants??
Living on the veg. Hi Oscar. Patrick, I noticed your tomatillos out front - do you have to put 2 side by side? Mine are few feet apart and no fruit yet. As for blueberries, how do you apply aluminum sulphate? I mix with water first but sometimes we get a lot of rain and I wanted to know if you can work it dry into the soil before a heavy rainfall. As always, trying to reduce work in the garden.
Hi Valerie! We have 3 or 4 plants out front but they're not right next to each other. A few feet apart should be fine. I use elemental sulfur instead of aluminum sulfate. I apply some on the soil surface every fall.
Gread Video! How do you make your cobblers? If I remember correctly you said that your vegetarian. I checked out and liked your Facebook Page. Thanks again!
Thanks, April! Yes, I'm a vegetarian. I'll try to post my cobbler recipe on FB soon. I made up my own recipe.
I love your garden! This is my first year gardening in a long time. I would love to set my garden up similar to yours.
Do you have any videos on your exact layout? I've watched several videos and I want to do what you do as it obviously works very well.
Thanks, Joseph! This video shows the layout for the spring garden: ua-cam.com/video/4LaYF7ADezA/v-deo.html
OneYardRevolution | Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening Thank you! I see you are growing honey berries. I haven't tried them yet but I'm really considering growing them. My family loves blueberries and raspberries and I heard they taste close to those, do they?
*“I love gardening from my head tomatoes”*
Wow! Such abundance. I really like the color of those pole beans, how is the flavor?
Thanks, James! I love the beans. They taste pretty much the same as the Kentucky pole beans to me.
very nice harvest. what method do you use to save/preserve your beans?
Thanks, Patrice! I'm freezing our bean surplus.
