Hey Guys, I’m Brian from Next Level Gardening
Welcome to our online community! A place to be educated, inspired and hopefully entertained at the same time! A place where you can learn to grow your own food and become a better organic gardener. At the same time, a place to grow the beauty around you and stretch that imagination (that sometimes lies dormant, deep inside) through gardening.
I’m so glad you’re here!

Thank you for not heading your videos with "you'd be silly not to plant these now" or "you'd be foolish not to plant these now" or "you MUST plant these now". I appreciate you just saying what I could plant, not that I'm an idiot if I don't.
Yeah that seems to be a trend out there doesn't it?
😂 For sure!
“You’ll DIE ALONE without THESE 17 Plants TODAY!”

Bro is sneak dissing certain gardening UA-camrs in UA-cam comment section 😂
Brian, you have become my 5th kid. I miss you when I dont see you. You are loved by this momma and gardener. Happy to see your face. ❤
Wow, thank you Michelle!
The sheer amount of bees I have at my new home is unreal! I couldn't be happier. No one in my area sprays so we still have quite the abundance of every type of bee. Will be growing vertical with squash now
I was glad to see the pine shavings for mulch... That's what I'm using.😊
Okra, sugar pumpkin, gherkin cucumbers and Hubbard squash just planted in my garden 💚
Brian, I love to watch your garden videos. I have a large backyard here in SoCal inland, and though I didn't do much gardening as a young person, I grew gorgeous tomatoes and strawberries. My dad, in his time, grew delicious boysenberries (so much better than blackberries, by the way). Now in my 90s and chugging along with a walker, gardening does not come easily. However, I encourage anyone with a growing spot to use it to the best of their ability. My nephew has a number of raised beds in his small yard. He brought me some beautiful tomatoes a few days ago. He or other family come over and water my little peach and avocado trees. Your videos are the very best I have seen. Besides, when you flash that wonderful smile, it lights up the world.
Oh Brian WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Someone else is coming on pretending to be you ? He only has a couple thousand subs so I knew it wasn't you. So Happy you're back.❤😊
Who is that??
@@NextLevelGardening I don't know I looked at his channel name and it said Next level and something else different. I will try to get it and let you know. I said Brian wouldn't change his channel name without telling us. But it's all your videos that are played on it. I'll stay in touch with yall now that you are finally back. I was worried about you all.
@@melindaroth5796Brian does have a second channel called Little Homestead, Big Dreams (Next Level Homestead). Is that what you saw?
@@kaylakitty3814no she is talking about someone stealing content. It has happened before.
@@MichaelRei99 I hope that people who see these channels are reporting them for impersonation as well as sending Brian the channel URLs so he can do what he needs to do to copyright claim his content. Anyone can report videos and channels. It is best to do it from a web browser so that the URL to the channel being impersonated can be included in the notes of the report.
Brian. Praying for you 🙏 Take as much time as you need. We'll be here. ❤❤❤
Thanks Brian! We are SO glad we found your channel. We have been watching it since a few years back. It was either 2019 or 2020. We then watched the ones we missed before that time. You give GREAT advice and communicate it well! We grow vertically and use companion planting on our 4 raised beds. Our HOA tried to pass a regulation limiting gardens to 10x8 and that no plant can be in excess of 3 feet. We fought back wearing and sharing our Garden Defiantly shirts from y'all. The HOA board rescinded the decision based on the numerous residents joining our cause.
Good for you all!! I’m in a similar situation trying to get a community garden started with my neighbors before any more rules are introduced limiting our use of outdoor space to just. ornamental plants.
So glad you’re a fried okra fan! I grew up in Rome, GA. But when I moved to Maine for three years, they’d never heard of it nor knew how to fix it! Great reason to move back South, haha!
I'm from Toronto, Canada, and have loved Okra since I was little .we have no relatives or friends from the south. My dad and I have always enjoyed food from many other countries, and one of my favorites is gumbo.
I'm cooking okra as we speak (or type.) A South GA favorite, but I don't care for it boiled. I will either bread and deep fry it, or cook it low and slow in a cast iron skillet til soft and dark brown ... don't salt until it's done though!
I grew up in Savannah...gumbo 😊 I started growing it 40 years ago when I moved to Maryland. Love it!
I've been growing my squash vertically on stakes for about 4 years and trimming leaves as they grow. I'll never go back to letting them sprawl because it's easier to control pests and disease when I grow them vertically. You're spot on about the bees...they're more likely to find the flowers if the extraneous leaves are removed.
1:47 you just made me so happy. I never thought to do this and my yellows always get eaten up. Thanks!
Plant in July must be a popular theme amongst the gardening UA-cam channels
I would be planting if tomatoes would take off from right now. Unfortunately tomatoes are gonna be my intro, so I'm just building my compost pile and gathering info for now.
Good to see you and hear your wisdom sir. Thank you for all the knowledge you have shared and keep sharing with us.
Zucchini is my all-time favorite, actually yellow zucchini, it is sweeter than its green sister! It is great on the grill cut into "planks" or cut into chunks, cooked in butter and onion, and finished with heavy cream for a very tasty keto side dish!
Yes, agree! I love it grilled on my bbq.
There is a vining zucchini, named Incredible Escalator.
Thank you very much for your videos. As a natural black thumb I need all the help I can get and have learned a great deal from your videos. They are concise yet full of information I haven't heard anywhere else. Well done and I look forward to more.
I love the timing of this video Brian! I have made a list of what I am starting tonight and here is my list for Summer/fall, some of these are my second sowing:
Okra, Cucumbers, Basil, pumpkins, eggplant, tomatoes, dill, watermelon, black eye peas, celery, banana peppers, bell peppers, butternut squash, cantaloupe, zucchini & yellow squash. Happy Growing!! 💚
I love this video! Here in Texas my garden has been battling the heat, bugs, and diseases for a while now and it looking sad and spent. I’m excited to know I can plant some fresh things!
A great video, and I love your companion planting book. Thanks for everything that you do.
I LOVE that you kept in the Oprah bit
Welcome back! You were missed!
Great video! Your joy of gardening came through and inspired me.
Wow Brian perfect timing. I'm waiting for my cucumbers to have female flower's and I'm planting some bush bean's today.
Thank you so much.
Super info! Had to chuckle over the okra admonitions! Here in upstate SC, we can all say--oh, yeah, for 2ce a day harvest! Love it in winter soups! I just cut them up in freezer bags, & stick them in the freezer-- that's it.
Much needed inspiration! I was running out of ideas here in Texas 100 degree days!😊
Love your July planting guide, I also plant cilantro to grow through winter
Great video. In 10b on the coast we just barely started to have sun, so quick growers are a must.
I laughed so loud over the Fried "Okrah" comment that my hubby heard me through his noise canceling head phones. Great video!
Very helpful video. Thank you.
Excellent video! Thank you
Thank you Brian! I appreciate you! Watching from Alaska!
Missed you! Glad to see you back!
Thank you
Pet bedding!!! What an ingenious idea! I love that! I keep doin mulch all these years and doesn't really help at all! One guy even said 3-4 inches so i did....nothin. Still dried out. I hope the pet bedding works better for me. Thanks so much!..... M
Good to see you Brian! 😊
Thanks Cindy!
I just planted Okra last week and just popped out
Good job! Keep up the good work! It’s all good!
Thank you! That was a great summary 👍🏻
You make such helpful videos thank you
Great choices. Thank you.
Excellent video thank you!!!
I JUST planted beans and cucumbers (first planting). I don't feel so behind now!
I was getting a little concerned about you. 🥺🌺💚🙃
Thank you. I'm ok. Just needed some time.
Thanks for the list! I am goibg to do a succession planting of most of the vegetables you mentioned. God bless!
Thank you always follow up on your suggestions
Thanks much for this list. I wanted to plant corn but everyone here had gotten rid of their seed displays. Take care
Thanks for the info. Good to see you and hope all is well :)
Thanks! My Swiss chard from the winter has finally gotten bitter. But it grows fabulously here in the low desert during the winter and spring. My favorite green. Malabar spinach is also a fabulous hot weather crop. With a little shade cloth, it grows very tall and produces all summer even in 115 F temperatures.
You are spot on about sweet corn planting No later in the Midwest ,no later then the first week in July to harvest before the first Frost !! Per commercial growers sweet corn producers !!
We have had some early weather/pest issues here, so I've been having to replant a little more than I'd like. The last few weeks, I've just been filling in bare spaces with beans or okra, but I like this list, especially the cosmos. I could really use some more flowers right now. Thanks!
GREAT video! Thank you. ❤
Thanks Brian 😀
I LOVE Cosmos. as well...Birds love them too! If the birds let me, I'll harvest the seeds to use next year. An absolute fav and so glad they're not invasive!
Thank you, Brian. 😊
I grow mine up a stake too. I trim all the leaves below the flowers. They are looking great! I also have them under a 55% shade cloth because, Texas.😂
What a waste of a good steak.
@@brettmullins4107 🤣🤣 never trust talk to text!
Thank You!
Thank you Brian. 🌺💚🙃
I grow those cosmos and the starburst taller ones as well. I’ve been growing them for like 20 years and they do self seed and I save seed I give him out to friends and family and envelopes.🐝🌸
I need dripping irrigation which is not going to happen right now, it's so hot and humid 🥵 and I am not watering during the day. Sweating at night is more than enough for me!
It's nice and green but heat and humidity sucks!
Sorry about complaining, maybe if I could move freely would not be such a problem but for me everything is an effort.
Have a blessed week Brian, Emilie and Noah and gardeners! Stay safe and cool 🙏🏻❤
I’ve had no luck with sprouting beans in May but last week I decided to try again and it sprouted fast and has been looking great so far. I guess it likes Florida’s summer 😂
Thank you .I've got an idea from you
glad to see you i was worrying
can you post on your community page when schedule is changing or you just need time off so we
dont go down the mental rabbit hole lol
Thank you. I'll try to remember that
I just cut down a few cucumber plants in one large pot. It had lots of flowers but no fruits. All the leaves looked bad. Will start new seeds soon.
Thank you❤
Thank you, Brian, for another great video! I had a cold wet Spring again this year so all my warm weather crops are only now starting to grow. But I like to get a second crop of snap peas going late summer. BUT and this is a big BUT! For the last 3 years I have had a terrible problem getting snap pea seeds that are ACTUALLY snap peas! And this has been from at least 3 different companies. They are usually a mix of snap and shelling peas and once included even snow peas. VERY frustrating especially in a stir fry when you get chewy little buggers, lol. Anyone else having this problem? I have one pack that I sowed late summer last year that were ok but happened to be 4 years old. I am trying very hard to learn the difference this year.😢😅
Foarte interesant
Most of my transplanted okra failed. Thanks for the video
thank you 👍🏻
Thank you you given me hope!! Grasshoppers chewed off all the tassels of my corn, and I thought I would have any this year again. They are the entire plant last year. They've been horrible. Maybe we can still have BBQ!! 11:06
Thank you ! I watched your video about Vining and zucchini and I ended up whining for some. God knows reason the butternut squash so all of a sudden this thing is so huge. I’m not getting it and realize.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I had the wrong so now I have my zucchini bing and it’s fantastic and I thank you so much
We have small wasps and tiny flying pollinators besides the honey bees on white clover. I do have a soft brush to help my cucumber’s
Thank you for the videos! We have white spots on basil like yours, do you know why?
Love your posts. I have successfully grown some fabulous tomatoes. Question: What do I do or what insecticide to I use to keep bugs from eating my strawberries and its leaves? Please leave me some ideas. Thank you.
I have a bunch of rabbits growing in my back yard and they haven’t touched my raised bed garden. They have had two sets of bunnies that they hid in the garden but aren’t bothering the garden itself. They have plenty of food outside of the garden so they are doing well. I don’t have to eat them yet. 😊
The rabbits ate and destroyed my pumpkin (2 varieties), cantaloupe, and watermelon plants. 😢 I started them in a 5 1/2 inch tall garden bed. They haven’t touched my raised beds tho which is good!
I found bunnies in my lettuce bed, in my high tunnel. Lettuce was about done so I let them have it until they started venturing out. Then they got relocated and we beefed up security.
Bella doesnt manage rabbits ?Sorry Oprah 😂😂 ...you are a riot. Great video. Thank you.🎉🎉
Jambalaya okra is 55 days. Sm plant 2’ very prolific. Also trim the leaves immediately under the okra pods each time you harvest. I plant 1’ apart.
Great video! Perfect for this time of year. I like that you show how to plant with your suggestions!
Love fried okra, haven't tried growing it yet, now maybe the time, I'm in Texas, I'm going to follow your directions😊 However I picked my cucumbers, plan was to pickle, they have all turned a white/yellow , so should I harvest seeds and start over. Tks so much
I live in zone 9b the low AZ desert. Do my cucumbers need any shade covering? We are getting 115 degree heat.
Bunnies, quail, squirrels maybe the ravens! Something has eaten my in ground beans. My container beans seem ok all though some have been picked at. One of those years 🤔.
I want to start a second planting of both. Due to circumstances beyond my control, got a late start this year. So only got 1 zucchini out of eight plants & as soon as my yellow squash just got started when vine bores hit all. So, here in stheast NC, it's so hot! I'm afraid to start them now. How do I know when the vine bores are going to leave them alone?
Great suggestions and tips. You're so right about planting new cukes instead of trying to save the old ones. I have them on an arched trellis this year but really want to try single stemming them on twine next year (didn't have the infrastructure in place for this year). I also want to try growing my summer squash vertically next year; I will have to rewatch that video. Do you single stem the squash?
I just allowed the squash to grow normally except I keep it tied up a stake instead of letting it go along the ground
Summer squash
Beans (continuously harvest)
Cucumber 🥒 6 to 8 hours of sunlight
Okra (yuck, sorry)
Basil (plant near tomatoes every year)
Oregano (I've heard it is cancer fighting)
Swiss chard
Sweet corn early V
And marjoram
(I'd also.add radishes, lettuce, and quick growing carrots)
Hi Brian! I live in 9b (in the desert). Do you think I can direct sow some of these plants now? I don't have much in my raised beds now but kale. I really dropped the ball, but not sure if its too late, or just try. What do you think?
Good tips. I really liked the squash ideas. But we are going to be well over 100 for a couple weeks and I can’t bring myself to garden. 😢
Do pine shavings not give off pinene which can inhibit seed germination?
Brian what kind of irrigation do you have in this video? Looks like a soaker hose, but I’ve seen it in other videos in your raised beds. Looks more rigid. Love your channel! Barbara
Brian, i can't get rid of black bottom on my tomatoes...2wk spraying aspirin as you suggested..2wk feeding tmoato food..regular daily a.m. watering...what to do now?
Should i pull infected plants up? NE TN
Brian do you harvest the drying beans like you do the freah eating beans? Such as pinto beans or kidney beans.
Which mulch do u use the TS? Is it the flakes or bedding?
Waooo.. thanks for sharing!
I like to ask: Is it ideal to mulch garden beds with wood shavings or sawdust? Will it not affect the soil negatively?
Your response will be highly appreciated!
This is such great information! Thank you👍 about the cosmos, what cosmos seed do you use that makes the dwarf cosmos in you garden bed? I've been looking for a good variety that stays short... And those look perfect😀
I also grow "Dwarf Sensation, mixed" cosmos and love it
❤ okra also but it's impossible to grow it in the northeast.
Never had much luck with beans pushing out more and more. What is your favorite beans to plant?How about your recipe for Okra? Thanks!
What brand of mulch do you use?
Are there different varieties of zucchini? All I have ever grown stayed more like a bush while ny squash, pumpkins and melons trailed along the ground.
Garden pests have been my bane of existence this year. I'm managing the squash bug and hornworm by surveillence, but the black flies decimated my eggplants, cabbage worms got my brassicas and mexican beetles my beans. Brassicas I will replant later, and I'm going to try restart eggplant and string beans, and use wood ash to repel critters.
What type of mulch are you using?
I use tomato cages for my zucchini
🇦🇺 In Australia Swiss chard is known as silverbeet.
I have a question about cucumber, melon and summer squash, I have all these plants and they have male flowers and no female flowers what should I do
