Happy spring! I’m in western Oregon (Willamette valley). I planted my peas last weekend and potatoes, lettuce, spinach, radishes and carrots are in. I’m sitting outside in the partial sun watching my goats run and play. They don’t get outside much this time of year cause they hate rain! Glad to see you back in the garden!
Willamette area is beautiful. We were in Eugene for a short time for work. Wanted to move there but didn't get to.
@@triciasklodowske5653Yes, it’s nice here. Luckily we get to enjoy dry summers but everything is still green.
I can't believe it has been over a year since I saw you gardening!! I know you started earlier, but this is the first video I've caught this spring!! Welcome back…we missed this!!
I'm in Florida and last weekend I finished planting my full garden. 🌴
Love hearing all of the birds trying to drown you out...LOL! Blessings on your growing season and your day Kiddo!🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿 (planting peas and greens)
Central Missouri here, our last frost is usually April 15. I planted out lettuces a little early this year, but just planting peas this weekend. This is my favorite channel for canning advice by far! Hoping for an abundant harvest for all of you!
I'm in Saginaw bay area of Michigan and you have inspired me to plant peas this week!
I’m in southern Idaho zone 6 I just love your channel! Found it during Canuary! Something about your videos gives me peace at heart. The kids and I planted peas, some potatoes, and onion seedlings this week. So happy it’s about springtime here.
Glad you've found us friend ♥
Loved all the sounds of nature in the background. Even the faraway sound of the train horn was very soothing, Thanks for sharing your beautiful day.
I am totally with you on how peas bring a sense of peacefulness to gardening. My Mormor (grandma) grew peas and always let us go out to her garden and devour what we wanted. She passed away when I was ten, now in my fifties. I get super excited when I find that first full pod, snap it open, and savory the sweetness inside and remember a time so long ago. I find shelling them so relaxing and satisfying to my soul. It's bizarre to some people, lol my family, but there isn't anything better! Well, maybe that first green bean!
Yippie! We’re back in the garden!
I'm in Mesquite NV!!! We have tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, all of our herbs!!! Everything we are growing is in and growing high!!! God Bless Us All!!!
I bet you are really happy to be back out playing in the dirt! I did the same thing this year, planted peas first. They have gotten their first leaves yesterday! So happy!! Love your channel!
You inspire me to take advantage of the warm days we've been having (I'm in Ohio). I love learning from you! ~Kim
It feels great to see you in the garden
Love it! Thanks! I am trying Mr. Big Pea for the first time this year.
Great to see the soil looking so rich, and you enjoying the garden again. We are still 6 weeks out of putting anything in the ground. Freezes expected on the weekend again. I do have onion, long season peppers, and tree seeds started in the house.
Southern MN. Zone 4B and snowing! I’m so jealous and happy to see you in the dirt!
Same here! Middle MN and shoveling!! ❄️❄️ ... Also snuggled up to my happy seedlings in the house anticipating when they can finally get outside!
@@tanyamosher9056 we’ve only planted 🌶️ seeds so far.
Hi Rachel, I’m in Southern California. I have planted peas, tomatoes, peppers,potatoes herbs in the green stalk and flowers. I start earlier due to high heat in the desert during summer. Having fun in my small apartment garden.
In Northcentral WV, the rhubarb, thyme, oregano, mint, and echinacea (perennials) are growing well. Planted peas and lettuce a couple of weeks ago. Dixondale onions arrived yesterday, so I hope to get those in the ground this week. Potatoes and cabbage, followed by broccoli and cauliflower, will be next. Using your garden planner/journal. Love Spring!
I am having a great start to my gardening year here in North Texas zone 8A- I have planted Wando Peas (heat and cold tolerant) and they are taking off and I am so far very pleased with them. I also planted Kelvedon Wonder peas as they did fabulous for me last year and produced huge peas. I have also planted carrots, onions and garlic and am doing a trial run with onions, beets, kohlrhabi and potatoes. All seem to be doing very well, but we will see how they do once the heat sets in. I also have tomatoes started inside as well as some marigolds and peppers. I am so excited about gardening season this year!
Good to see you planting in the garden again. You have such beautiful soil! I’m in NE Mississippi so far I have cabbage, onion and potatoes growing. I’m late getting my seeds started this year due to having cataracts removed from both eyes and then I had a huge varicose vein to deal with. I’m about a month off but have my soil ready to plant seeds today. Praying they come up quickly and are strong.
Blessings 🙏🏻🩷
Happy Spring to you and your family!! I’m so glad you popped up in my page today!! I know you took a 7th year rest but I’m so excited to learn from you this year!!
Your hair is so beautiful....thank you for your videos..I love them! I am in South Georgia and my peas are 3 ft tall at the moment! This is my first year growing them for my husband!
Detroiter here 👋🏾
I winter sowed my cauliflower, gourmet lettuce mix, spinach, and planted out my onions. I may plant peas because of this video. Thanks for the inspiration!
Was thinking about getting peas and maybe some onions out soon here in Central Maine and then we just got a foot of snow this weekend! I've never been so happy to have been lazy a few weeks ago 😂 Living vicariously through this video. Soon enough it'll be our turn!!
I'm in Zone 7b in the southeast US, and my peas, beets, turnips, kale, collards, onions, leeks and garlic are already growing. The peas were planted back in mid/late February, and are showing their first tendrils now. Where I am, peas only get about a 2 week window for harvest, so I plant Green Arrow peas which are a dwarf variety that has about 10 peas per pod. I sowed about 750 this year, and it probably still won't be enough!
Fun to see you in the garden again! Just the joy I needed as I watch from the Northwestern UP... it will be awhile yet for me ❤
I'm glad you have the patience for peas! No peas grow here. We had one nice harvest of peas one year and after that they just don't grow. So I gave up on growing peas! I just go to the freezer section and buy a 4 lb bag of peas and just can those. It's a lot less work! 😂😅😂😅
Love the more regular content lately!! Also, your hair looks gorgeous in this video! 🤩
I would love to see some weekly meals during the summer of you how you consume your garden vegetables without any preserving. Just how do you eat from the garden recipes.
sounds awesome that your planting peas I love peas I planted peas just recently In my garden well I wish you luck on your garden this year I hope It does well for you
Hi Rachel. Birds chirping and an adorable Woolly Bear Caterpillar. Fatso ate plenty with our unexpected mild winter here zone 6b. Ct. 800 hundred pea plants. Great tip on what to look for. Thanks. Beet greens coming up from last year. Don't know how that happened. Your garden soil, worms and birds are happy. Looking forward.
TY. Beautiful and wish for more planting area here. Have planted peas potatoes spinach lettuce raddishes dill kohlrabi beets carrots. Love this time of year.
I am in NC and I have broccoli in the ground, as well as trying TPS (True Potato Seed). Tomatoes and hardening off. I am about two weeks from my last frost date.
Hi! We are in north west Georgia! First year having a garden of my own. We had to hire a crew to level out a spot for my raised beds but we have had an extremely wet month. It’s not quite ready for planting yet. I’m bummed but I will plant peas, cabbage and greens this fall! Ive learned so much from you guys! ❤️
I agree, creeping charlie is the the worst. It grows over the top of mulch, any root will regrow a plant, as well as self seeds. Uggh. That soil looks amazing. Good luck with your peas.
SE Michigan about 15 minutes from the Ohio border. Between today and tomorrow we will be doing potatoes, planting out a granny smith apple tree, pink blueberry bush and transplanting a dogwood tree and elderberry bush that I thought the ants had killed last year. April 1st will be onion transplants, radishes and beets, April 5th will be peas. I'm doing the gardening by the moon method. Worked very well for us last year so I'm continuing it.
You are so nice to watch love your gardening chat and demeanor and demonstration! I’m in Idaho, haven’t planted anything yet, seedlings going on inside tho. And a new greenhouse to use this year! Woohoo.
I'm from Oklahoma. Planted peas, perpetual chard, rapini and collards. Will be planting beets, carrots and turnips later today.
I love your gardening content… I missed it last summer. Glad to have it back! (Ps I love all your videos)
Happy planting!
Hi, I am in central CO at about 8900’ elevation with a 90 day mostly frost free garden season. Our bad weed here is bindweed which is a wild morning glory type weed that is impossible to get rid of. It wraps around the stems of other plants and chokes them out. The roots break very easily and can grow with very little root in the ground. Just a horrible plant!! Glad to see you with your hands in the soil. Happy gardening!
Have you ever considered starting your seeds using the Winter Sowing method? This is my third year and so far, it's been great for me. I have a small house with no room inside for starting seeds in it. Plus, it gets me 'playing in the dirt' at the end of February. I do have some sweet potatoes growing slips in a $ Tree container and am looking forward to having a nice crop of them. I still have about half of a box in the garage from last year's harvest. Best of luck with your garden this year.
I can't wait for everything to come up 😊
I'm so glad to see you planting again. I think I will put in some carrots and beets first in my garden
I'm in SE Ohio and I've planted my peas, potatoes, radishes and rapini so far. This weekend I'll plant my carrots and maybe lettuces/greens.
I am in Minnesota with 8 inches of snow on the ground. Can't wait for it to be gone so i can start my gardening season
Just planted carrots today outside. Have lettuce, peas, spinach & beets in the hightunnel. Hudson Valley NY
I'm excited to grow along with you again. Got some peas in last week and put some asstd seeds into my greenstalk 2 weeks ago.
Central Illinois, I'm going to be planting peas this weekend with potatoes and cabbage in the near future. Creeping Charlie and crabgrass are my menace.
We have pole beans, cukes, onions, celery, tomatoes, green pepper ... we already had growing tomatoes (cherry), kale, onions, garlic, carrots, green peppers from the fall... we will be planting more carrots also. We have sweet potato slips starting but we don't have them planted yet. Also have genovese basil, purple basic, thyme, parsley, lavender, coneflower, cilantro, sage, borage and chamomile. Some are seeds and some are starts.
East bay California here, I've got tomatoes going ,I put basil in between, and I only have 1 basil left. I hate slugs. I put purple green beans I started inside out 2 weeks ago, and those mother truckers ate all my efferts. I'm scared to plant the rest of my stuff. I started inside because of them. I put stuff down, but with the rain off and on, it gets washed away or diluted ☹️ I will plant my onion starts out today, and my potatoes have started to show signs of life 😄
I'm in SW Minnesota. Nothing planted yet, just got 3-4" of snow topped with sleet. 🙃 my first real garden year. I'm excited to get started.
Fayetteville GA potatoes, collards, cilantro and brassicas. Love your content ❤
I'm in NY. I sowed Fava beans and sugar snap peas. I'm so excited for garden season. So great to see you back in the garden again.❤
Thank you for sharing ❤
So I am in Houston Texas so I have a little warmer and I think we’re done with the frost. I did over winter some bell peppers that I’ve already took back outside and they’re doing good. I’ve started a bunch of seeds, onion seeds I think I saw in my garden or someone say after about eight weeks, separate them, and start putting them in the soil I do have onions getting ready to be done I planted in fall. I also planted recently too big old batches of potatoes. I did garlic for the first time hopefully be done by July. I’ve already done with my first batch of lettuce and I still have some kale I planted some tomatoes in trays and a couple of squashes in the ground in the soil. I do container gardening where I live in my backyard. I have no grass no grass, so I have to use those massive big containers and I’m four years into gardening. Oh my carrots are gonna be ready to pull by June. I’ve gotten so good at carrots I’d like to succession grow carrots as well I even have a big pear tree that provides shade for cooler Cooler weather plants that won’t get so much sun to where they’re gonna burn. I’ve done spinach for the first time in a smart bag hanging basket it’s on my porch so I look forward to that. My spinach in my backyard garden is doing well. I’m so happy that your back out in the garden, hope you wish you much success I look forward to looking and learning from y’all guys🌱🌱🌱🥦🥕 🧅 🥔 🥬 🍐 🍅
I’m so happy to see you in the garden again!
I have bad bind weed problem in my onion raised beds so was given a roll of 3x100feet of fluted cardboard so added over bed had more cedar 2x6s put on cardboard filled with my soil mix will see if it stops weeds it could be exspensive to buy 3x 256 feet is $189 on Amazon but covers my bed totally was free 😉😀
I planted lettuce and spinach already and they've sprouted even with our cold snap, and tomatoes and peppers are in the greenhouse. What's the best sugar ratio for peas? I planted a bunch last year after soaking them to sprouting and the birds ate at least three beds i planted on the trellis, about 200 peas. I think your birds are celebrating and meal planning in the background. 😂 All i found every day were holes in my soil and it was all the green arrow variety. So nice to see you back in your garden. It really was strange not seeing any gardening videos from you even though i know you needed the rest. Thanks for your content Rachel!
I live in NM at 1600’. We have already planted potatoes and have more to plant, then peas and carrots next! We have to add mycorrhizae, otherwise, there is little life in our sand.
We are in central Oklahoma. I should have planted out our brassica starts in the high tunnel, but have been trying to be more gentle with myself and my expectations. Tons of pepper plants and tomatoes and roselle hibiscus to plant out once this cold spell passes the next couple of days. Until then, I’m just cleaning up the high tunnel & prepping while watching others garden on YT. 🤪
YES! looking forward to seeing your garden go from brown to green. NEVER gets old to see how the Lord has given us the joy (and yes it's hard work, but we were forewarned of that after The Fall) of seeing pounds of produce or dozens of flowers come from one little seed. Now, finding less large oak tree seedings and random pecan trees (with DEEP tap roots already) in bad locations is another story, but they too are a reflection of the Almighty Creator's handiwork...like you mentioned...all those little strawberry seedlings 🤗
Happy spring girl. I just planted 1st row of peas my carrots are coming up. Potatoes & onions just planted yeah
My garden is still covered in snow.
Going to plant onion and brussels sprouts seeds, in the grow room, this weekend.
Looking good!
I planted a little over 500 pieces that two weeks ago. I’m hoping for a good harvest this year.
Zone 2 here. No dirt to plant in yet...started some seeds though, and giving "winter sowing" a try.
In midatlantic I have potato, cabbage, experimenting with fava beans, chamomile seeds, lettuce, and other greens in the ground/greenstalk.
I already have peas, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, arugula, kale, shallots, onions, and garlic IN the ground. My Bok Choy is already going to seed. East TN
I use a t-post, I drop it on the dirt then pick up one end then pull it along the line I made when I dropped it. That is the only way I can make a some what straight line. I just planted onions, peas, and lettuce. This is the earliest I have planted.
I’ve planted peas, kale, radishes and spinach so far. Most have germinated then we got 6 inches of snow but they should be fine. I was experimenting in our false spring here in Wisconsin lol oh well can’t learn anything if you don’t try. Happy gardening season!
Southern CA here. Having a cooler and wetter March than usual. My tomato plants are inside in a south facing window. Have uppotted them to solo cups and some are starting to get a bit leggy. I take them outside on nice days for direct sunlight and some breeze. Waiting for nighttime temps to get over 50 degrees F before I plant them out. Right now it’s 45-48 at night. This weekend another storm is forecast. ☹️ My peas were planted a few weeks ago and have sprouted. Most are 2”-3” tall now. Not all came up, so I planted a few more last week. Something ate my broccoli & cabbage starts after planting them outside 😡. Happy to watch you gardening again!❤
In New Hampshire. And we just had 8” of snow Saturday sooo no planting for us yet. Hoping mid April to gamble with some spring crops.
Enjoy! I am in zone 3a. We still have feet of snow in the garden. I have started celery and onions from seed.
Rachael I feel for you as I deal with creeping Charley as well. I mostly feel it is a losing battle.
I’m in NE Oklahoma, we have a freeze warning tonight. I love that… I want proof of life!
Middle of NC here. Hi. My garlic is really coming up from the fall and I've planted my spring onions. All my indoor seedlings are ready to go out in late April. Other than the healing benefits of fresh foods to my body, yeah, the peacefulness I find gardening draws me to it. I think we all need to spend more time seeking calmness.
❤ we planted potatoes so far, Arizona ❤
I planted snow peas, two colors green and yellow.
I'm about to move to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, so no planting yet. Looking forward to starting tomato seeds in mid-April, and get some radishes/salad turnips/lettuce going as soon as makes sense. :)
I live on the Oregon coast. I am planting onions and leeks. Potatoes and peas this weekend and up potting all my brassicas.
I heard killdeer in Sparta! My peas are going in in the next few days, too. It's nice to be in the garden "with" you again!
All those peas I planted last year, too late for them to respond, have now sprouted and climbing their trellis. about 50% of them !
South east Arkansas here. We’ve planted lettuce and beets.
I too have an over abundance of creeping Charlie and chick weed in my garden . It is a constant struggle
Hi Rachel! I’m trying the Lincoln pea this year. FEDCO Seeds (a Maine co-op with a great mission) sells 2 oz for $3 (approximately 160 seeds). I agree and LOVE MIGardener seeds, but for the quantity needed, I won’t order peas from them except to try varieties.
Northeast SD, absolutely nothing is being planted in my gardens yet! Way too cold, dropping below freezing every night and barely above during the day! We should move so I can garden sooner!!
We have a lot of creeping Charlie here also ,what a pain to manage .
I am in wayne county michigan, and will get my peas in the ground by the weekend
Not planting here yet in New Brunswick. Just got 20 inches of snow
Will you two please make a good amount of canning video's? Looks awesome 🎉maybe some new recipes?
So Fun!! So Happy for you to be back in the garden :) Mine is under many many inches of snow :/ Did you get snow instead of rain?
We are in the mountains of western NC…and we have creeping Charlie 😫
Here in Manistee area, no planting yet, below freezing the next few days. My lettuce is coming up in my green stalk in my greenhouse. I had let lettuce go to seed at the end of the season, so on a warm day a month ago, I pulled up the old plants, and sprinkled the seeds over the soil, and watered them in. Starting to empty last years pots into a bin, to refresh the soil for this year. I have broccoli, brussel sprouts and cauliflower started, and a few peppers sprouting indoors. Going to start some flowers, herbs and tomatoes next week.
Here in South Wales, I have my beds prepared but the ground is too wet to plant anything 😔 I have a dinning room full of seedlings, onions sets will be the first thing to go in the ground, but I think they would just rot at the moment.
I am in central Ohio and I won't be sowing anything outside until the first week of April!
One woman's weed is another woman's flower! 😹❤🌱
Growing all the things...yum.
Love peas! Anyone, Question- last season i had a lot of my pea plants severed right at the base. Ideas as to What might be the pest? Only evidence was earwigs or slugs. But no other damage . Very disappointing.
We can't get rid of buttercup. Ugh!
❤❤❤
