Welcome! So glad you are enjoying our content! =)
New subscriber. Looking forward to your channel and journey ❤
Welcome! Garden will be coming on the third growing season next year! Happy to have you along for the ride!
WOW, your tomatoes look fantastic!!! I have grown the big ones, with little success I did not single stem like you have done. Think I'm going to try that this year, the results are amazing. Thanks for sharing. Your garden is amazing. 👍👍👍 clap, clap, clap.
Well thank you! We definitely see earlier fruit and ripening as well as less disease when pruning them this way. Wishing you best of luck next season!
You have a beautiful garden and a very calm and reassuring voice.
Well thank you! Happy gardening to you ☺️
Beautiful garden ! Great presentation!

Thank you and welcome! 🤗
You just showed up and I just subscribed! Thanks for sharing
Welcome!! 🙏☺️
Ok
I’m a relatively new gardener in SW Ohio Zone 6b (2 years).
HOW AM I JUST NOW FINDING YOUR CHANNEL!
This video is AMAZING!!!!!!
I can’t wait to binge on your content.
I’ll probably figure it out as I watch more videos, bu lt can’t wait to figure out what part of SW Ohio you are in.
LOVE YOUR GARDEN SETUP!!!!!
Thank you! We are between Dayton and Cincinnati. Always good to follow along with people in a similar growing area!
@@TheGardenFamily - That’s great! We are basically neighbors then! Funny, I’ve described where I live the exact same way you just did.
Looking forward to catching up on your previous content as well as the future content.
Best wishes to you both.
Hi from Indonesia!! Your garden is amazing! I can see they are very healthy and have almost no disease. Looks like the circulation technique between plants is very helpful in avoiding pests! Thank you for the tour and information it’s super helpfull! ✨
Hello from the other side of the world! Yes, we have found air flow to be very important for disease, probably important in your humid climate as well! Glad you found the video enjoyable!
You have a wonderful garden And very blessed production of vegetables and flowers.. watching from glecious tv your new friend
Thank you very much! Appreciate the comment =)
Excellent!!🎉
Thank you! 🙏
Great video of a lovely garden. We live in a south suburb of Dayton so same growing zone as you.. We downsized to a patio home last year so my 3 pots are growing cukes, tomatoes and beans (itty, bitty garden)🌿
Thank you! We are not far from you then! We have grown gardens in many spaces including patios and loved every one of them. Happy gardening to you!
Everything looks great! Nice job!
Thank you!! 😊🙏
I just stumbled across your channel and I was so excited to see garden content from Ohio. We’re in Northeast Ohio working to maximize production in our urban backyard. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to have you along! We had gardens in many different settings, most recently a small suburban lot before this one (you can see it in some of our old videos). Before that we did apartment balconies and many other locations. We learned a lot and loved every one! Wishing you all the best this season and beyond
We are in awe, thanks for the update!!!
Well thank you! Hope you're having a nice summer!
Beautiful garden. I like how you stake the tomato's. Very neat
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it =)
Beautiful garden and first time visiting your channel❤
Thank you and welcome! ☺️
Looks fantastic 😊😊😊
Thank you! =)
This is so similar to what I’m trying to create. Very happy to find your channel. And looking forward to watch your videos 😊😊😊
Thank you and welcome aboard. Wishing you best of luck with creating your dream garden!
Your garden looks beautiful and perfect 😍😍😍 So well-planned and looked after.
Love from Darjeeling, India.
Thank you very much! 😊🙏
Love your garden!
Thank you!! 😊
Great tour!
Thank you Helen!
You answered why my long Island cheese pumpkin is doing so well! I didn't know it had better resistence to the squash bug.
Oh good! Yes, we prefer them to regular pumpkins for that reason. Best of luck with the rest of your season!
Your garden is really beautiful. I'm in the same area but it looks like everything of yours is well ahead of me. I can't believe you have ripe peppers already! All of my peppers are still green.
Hey neighbor! It's been a very early season for us in general. Tomatoes were planted around May 1st, a couple weeks ahead of schedule. Peppers came super early this year too! Wishing you a wonderful rest of your season!
wow thats some crop regards from ireland
Thank you! Happy gardening from Ohio, USA! ☺️
This was my first time seeing a video of yours, LOVED IT! I am now subscribed! We are in South Mississippi (Gulf Coast area) Zone 9A. Our tomato plants would benefit from your style of trellis with the heat and humidity we have here in the deep south. Can't wait to show my husband your video so he can build me a trellis.
Welcome aboard! Yes, the plants have done much better with increased air flow, something I had to learn since moving from California which had less disease. Hopefully you have a wonderful Fall garden coming up, I’m sure you’re in a little “hot summer” lull down there currently until things cool down a bit?
your garden is so prolific it definitely makes me a little bummed about mine 😂 absolutely beautiful work
Well thank you! And don't be bummed, every year has different challenges and ways we can continue to learn! Wishing you success in the rest of your season!
Wow! New subscriber here! Your garden is awesome!
Thank you and welcome aboard! =)
Hi from Australia, you have a beautiful garden and it's something to be proud of.🍉🍈🌶🫑🍅🍆🌽🧄🧅
Well thank you! I’m sure you are dreaming of the warm season down your way! Wishing you a wonderful upcoming season! 😊
We want to see harvesting all those veggies in your next video
We harvested most of these the day after but we should get another harvest video in at some point here! ☺️
Good morning, how is it going. Definitely 💯 like the garden nice vibes
Good morning to you as well! Thank you =)
Hello, from Oklahoma 7B. I just started a couple months ago & I absolutely LOVE your garden! 😍 do you over winter your pepper plants? I’ve also learned so much! Thank you for showing us your beautiful garden. Your smile is contagious, great job on all your crops!
Well thank you!! We don’t over winter our peppers but perhaps we will try a couple in future years. Do you? We start ours indoors in Mid Feb and they tend to have very early pepper production this way! Thanks for the comment and encouragement!
Nice garden
Thank you very much!
Please do a video of how you build and install your cherry tomato trellis/cages. Thank you in advance.
I will have more info on a video coming out very soon!
I love your video!! Great harvest!! I live in zone 6b also!! I love poblano peppers & tomatillos!! Did you start the plants from seeds or bought them in a nursery? If from seed which brand did you use? My poblano peppers grow very small 😕😕 any advice? I’m a new subscriber I’m so happy your channel showed up on my feed!! Blessings from Kentucky 🙌🏻🦋🙏🏻 Amazing advice to learn & follow!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I’m going to binge on your past videos!! I’m looking for dwarf fruit trees!! Thank you for taking the time to share so much important information!!🤗🦋
Thank you! We started almost everything from seed. The tomatillos are the variety "Pancho" from Johnnys seeds. For the peppers we like to grow them large in our grow room before planting them out and that seems to help very well. And good luck with the orchard. Glad to have you on board! -Peter
@@TheGardenFamily yes thank you!! I binged on your older videos & I learned a lot!! You are a beautiful family!! I love that you are teaching your precious kids!! They are always so eager to help!! 🤗🦋 I live in the same zone. I tried to grow artichokes bc they are expensive & I love them!! I ordered the seeds, I planted 12 & 6 germinated really nice. Plants are huge. They start giving you artichokes on the 2nd year. I’m going to mulch them very well this winter & cover them with frost & heavy snow blanket to protect them!! I’ll let you know next year if they survive!! If you like them you might want to try them!! 🤗🤗🤗 Blessings from Kentucky 🙌🏻🦋🙏🏻
New subscriber here I really enjoyed your garden tour your tomatos look great what do you feed them
Welcome aboard! The tomatoes get a few fertilizers: a liquid non organic fertilizer in the growing room indoors, then a mulch of composted straw as well as espoma tomato tone during the growing season. We actually haven’t fertilized them since! If they are disease free as the weather starts cooling slightly we will give them another boost of organic fertilizers. 👍
Your video was so informative I learned too late a flimsy tomato cage is not near strong enough to suport a cherry tomato. Its sprawling everywhere. I was so impressed with what you rigged up. What is your square cage made of please
Hello! Thank you very much. The cage is made from a bent "cattle" or "livestock" panel. I'll have a little more information on an upcoming video.
Good
Thank you! 😊
Looks great! I think this is a best garden I ever seen. What do you use against blight disease on tomato? From Ukraine.
Thank you very much! The way we prune tomatoes gives much air flow to help with blight. Happy gardening from Ohio, USA!
Do you eat your dahlias? They're in the potato family and technically the entire plant is edible, but my favorite is to sprinkle the petals in salads. Each variety tastes different - sweet, spicy, bitter, etc. - and they add both visual and flavorful interest to your meal :)
We haven’t tried that yet, thanks for the tip! Dahlias were new for us this year but they sure got huge!
Hello, hello!
We might be neighbors. I am also in southwest Ohio. I am about 90 minutes northeast of downtown Cincinnati. Where about are you?
You have a beautiful garden, and I enjoyed your video.
Hi Peter 👋 Your Garden is SPECTACULAR!!! What is the name of the small low growing orange flower under your peppers? PS I LOVE Salsa Verde! ... FedEx ? 🚙💨
Thanks! I think(?) that is a calibrachoa but I can’t remember for sure!
@@TheGardenFamily I always forget the name but we have them out here and they are a favorite! Love you!
Beautiful garden. What type of paste tomatoes are you growing? How far apart do you space them?
Thank you! The paste tomatoes are all determinant. We grew 4 varieties to compare: Paisano, Plum Regal, Roma and Super Sauce (from Burpee). They are growing in straw bales and we have them growing relatively close together with two plants per straw bale.
My tomatoe leaves are curled up just the same and I never know what was wrong with them, thank for the info
Whaoo!🤗🤗 very beautiful vegetable garden. How many m2 du you have ? (Vegetable garden plot ?)
Cheers from France 🇫🇷
Thank you! Our garden area is approximately 650m2, that includes the area of the dwarf fruit orchard. Happy gardening from Ohio, USA!
@@TheGardenFamily thanks
I just found your channel and love it! What city in Ohio are you? I’m from central Ohio - just north of Columbus. You inspire me to grow more vegetables
Hello fellow Buckeye! We are between Dayton and Cincinnati. Thank you for following along! =)
Everything looks fantastic! How do you keep all of these crops well watered? Do you have an automatic system? I don’t imagine that you hand water all of that.
Thanks Zach! The raised beds have drip irrigation. Nothing else does. The in ground plants generally don’t need much supplemental water we have found with our clay soil and rainy summers. The straw bales need a bit more water but those we hand water…hoping to get a bit more drip irrigation done this fall!
Can you briefly describe how you fertilize tomatoes (and other plants) throughout the season? Specifically the tomatoes growing in straw. Thanks.
Hi Jeff, for the straw bale tomatoes we initially have to condition the bales. For this I just use an inorganic nitrogen lawn food. You just need to make sure to use something that is ONLY fertilizer and no other strange lawn additives. It takes about 2 weeks of every other day watering and nitrogen fertilizer for them to heat up and then cool back down and be ready to plant in. After that I plant with a slow release organic fertilizer, I believe we used Tomato Tone, at the time of planting. I actually haven't fertilized them since that initial application!
For other plants it just depends on where they are planted and the type of plant. But in general I like to use organic fertilizers in the outdoor beds even though I'm not opposed to inorganic fertilizers for conditioning the straw bales or for growing seedlings indoors but I usually stick to organic fertilizers outside to promote a healthier soil ecosystem. For a liquid agrothrive is nice and I've used the espoma products for a granular fertilizer. I also mulch the beds with the conditioned straw from last year and I've noticed that adds a good amount of fertility. Hope that helps!
Did you just crush those bugs with your bare fingers? 😮
I am so scared to get them (even with gloves 😅😅😂)
Haha, yes! It’s sort of sad to think how many I have crushed at this point…😬
I’ve been searching for a site dedicated to Ohio gardens. I’m also 6b on the east side, Ohio river area. We’ve had no rain for 6 weeks. Not a lot of produce this summer. Everything is dry and dying. I’m so distressed.
Welcome! It’s definitely been dry, did you get a bit of rain today? We did but not much. Wishing you a wonderful fall season!
Will you share how you built your tomato trellis?
I’ll try and work that in to a future video!
can you do a video on how you pruned your tomatoes?
Not one specifically but perhaps that will be on the list!
Hi will you share how you attach your 2x4 to your t posts for the vertical tomato garden?
It's a bit hard to explain in text but if you take a circular saw and create a notch in the 2x4 you can then pound it into the flange of the T post (the bottom of the T). To make sure they don't pop out I also secure them with some wire as well. Hopefully that makes sense?
@@TheGardenFamily this is what we thought but wanted to ask! Great idea! And thanks for sharing :)
I’m in your same zone in southwest Ohio! What are the varieties of onion you chose? Love your videos!!
Hey neighbor! We chose the following varieties: Sierra Blanca (white), Cabernet (purple), Super Sweet Yellow Utah Jumbo (yellow) and Patterson (yellow). They have all done very well for us this year!
@@TheGardenFamily did you start from seed or order starts?? Thank you for all the videos! Very useful!
I was wondering the exact same thing!
Sir thank you for the tour. Your garden is beautiful. This would have been our four year as a gardener but we moved. But you video has motivated me to get back into gardening Great job.
Also what seed was used for your determinant tomatoes please
Where did you get those tomatoe cages from??
They are bent from a livestock or cattle panel. I have some more info on a video I just filmed so look for it soon!
The rats don’t get them?
We haven't had any issues with rats luckily...
Please you need to harvest all your veggies even if you won't eat, you can give to someone else.
We did! Although we didn't do a long form video you can see some of the harvests in our "shorts" =)
