Local food banks would live your excess produce. Sometimes just bring it to church and let people take want they need. Add Ziploc bags to your tray of basket of extra veggies\fruits for convenience.
Thanks Luke, doing succession on radish, tomatoes-beef stake and cherry, corn, beets and beans. First garden in over 15 years and that garden was a disaster-clay and poor sunlight, but I tried. Growing up, we had 7 1/2 acre property and two huge gardens for family of 8 and harvested enough for a carry over winter and spring via freezer and canning. Just two of us now so scaled down. Thanks again from the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario.
Hey, Luke, love your videos. They get me through the winter and seeds from you grew great! On your determinate tomato succession planting... if you root some larger suckers as replanting time approaches you'll save yourself from dealing with seeds and small sprouts and you'll be off to a quick start in phase two of your season!
Brilliant episode. You’ve just made me rethink all my planting guides, and that when a packet says to plant in autumn/ fall that you need to have it started and reach maturity in that season, not planting something in autumn that then carries over into winter. This may be why I’ve had some failures
Thanks so much for your great knowledge and content. Due to the lack of space in my garden, I am not able to do a whole lot of succession planting. Can I plant seeds near other plants which I know will be pulled or finished in a few weeks? For instance, I planted bush green bean seeds for weeks after another 6 inches apart. Can I plant seeds in near the first set a few weeks later since I know I will eventually pull out the first set? I’m sorry if this is a little confusing. I just want to make the most of my space. I was thinking the same about plants like beets or leeks. Planting seeds in between them about a month or 2 later even though I haven’t harvested them. Thanks!
My tomatoes come all year as well I just keep picking. Not sure they have a time. I do however plant small seedlings later as well to get bulk for canning
Christopher P Creation same here. Leaf lettuce grows so well where I live. We can get pretty warm during the day, but our nights get very cool. In the 40’s or so.
I tried succession planting my corn this year. I live in a very short season year, so I started it in the house. Corn I planted two weeks after my first seeds is largest! I don't know if that indicates maturity, but it is huge in comparison. Maybe the extra sunshine gave the later corn a boost that the earlier corn didn't have?
I have cucumber, and tomato (Roma, and Independence Day Cherry) seedlings that are only about 4-5 inches tall. Do I still have time to try to keep them going, or am I too late?
Love your videos Luke. It's been a difficult June here in Cape Breton. Gardeners are calling it Junary.........still getting frost.....Good luck on your grand opening,,,wish I lived closer, but I'll be watching live.
Hi, just have a question... curious if you could do a segment on pink Brandywine tomatoes? I have some planted and CANNOT get them to fruit... I even tried hand pollinating. Any ideas?
I learn something new with each video. Ty Luke. Also..very nice nod to Curtiss Stone. I like him too, altjiugj5 hes a little more advanced than I'm about Yet. Lol. Thanks for that tidbit about the tomatoes. Blessings
Kind of off topic but sorta not... The weather here in Washington State has been off at best. I started 16 varieties of tomatoes this year, most of which came from the migardner store, and due to this crazy bipolar weather I only just started planting them out yesterday. I figure they will be ok seeing as they are 5 ft tall and doing well in the half open greenhouse. The problem with 27 one gallon potted 5 ft tall tomatoes in an 8ft ×6 ft greenhouse is that they are all tangled up. Not too hard to get apart actually, just be careful. The question is, all the different varieties are mixed up in the greenhouse right now, what would happen if I planted them all mixed up? All heirlooms. Will they cross pollinate? Or would I expect everything to grow true to its variety? Thanks for your time! Keep up the good work!
Question on succession planting of onions.. im in Missouri near the boot heel zone 6b i believe. But question is what if i start with my long day Utah jumbo and succession plant my red burgundy which is short day in about a month if i start indoors right now. Just planted Utah jumbo and a few or the burgundy reds because i mixed them but have planted out already for the Utah's
It was a rough spring for leat lettuce (Black Seeded Simpson) in Illinois-- there was hardly any spring this year-- the thinning of the seedlings tasted good but summer came on too quickly and the remainder tasted bitter and now are bolting-- Could I hope it seeds and replant around Labor Day hoping for a fall harvest?
Hey. New to your channel and really liking it. May I make a suggestion as a lot of channels are starting to do this. But for people who don't always have the time, but need info, maybe write a summary? I'll glady watch your videos, but it would be nice to know in advance what tips you are referring to if short on time.
I bought some netting from Amazon specifically made for keeping birds off of fruit bearing plants. It worked like a charm! I also used it on my raspberry bushes - it also worked well but the thorns kept catching on the netting making it hard to lift when I needed to water and it caused the netting to tear.
i'm from west michigan and i enjoy your show to see the way your get all to grow, i tryed growing strawberries last year , didnt get one strawberry and bye fall all the pants turn brown and so far i only have one plant returned , did i miss something
I'm also in Michigan. What was the soil like and how much sun did they get? Last year I planted 75 strawberry plants in an area that only had direct, unobstructed, sun a few hours a day. I got a couple berries from 75 plants. This year I put 75 in a FULL sun area. From the first light of dawn till the sun goes down there isn't a drop of shade. The difference is staggering! I have 7-10 berries per plant. I know I'm supposed to not let them fruit the first year, but I have little kids and I'd rather buy a new set of plants next year than go another year without strawberries. Another difference is fertility. The first area was native soil with some organic solid fertilizer sprinkled on. The second area was worked by chickens for six months the previous year. I also piled almost a foot of wood chips on that area. The amount of earthworms was incredible. It was very awkward planting because I was on a big hill planting deep into the soil. Hopefully that helps a bit! I'm not a super successful gardener, so maybe Luke can chime in too, but just wanted to tell you what worked for me.
First thing did you cover your strawberries in a deep layer of mulch prior to the first hard frost? They can die in extremely cold weather. I know ya'll had a hard winter this year... also did you fertilize in the fall? I generally fertilize in the fall... the drop some rabbit manure and compost-in the spring.
the plant turned brown before first frost ,so i didn't brother covering them up, and no i didn't fall fertilize , once they turn brown i thought i killed them off already '
i bought bags of garden soil and peat moss ,and manure , i put it in long potting boxes in full sun , i had to water it a lot , seem dry all the time , thanks for your info
Mushrooms mean that your soil is holding on to water. You can cut back on your watering. It's also a very good sign in terms of soil life. Just watch for plants vulnerable to humidity problems, like tomatoes and squash.

My garden is going in late this year , this video gives me hope.

Thanks luke, I got a late start this year. things will work out 😊

Can you offer some tips on how to keep Spinach from bolting?
It's over 31 days. Day 1 (25%), day 11 (25%), day 21 (25%), day 31 (25%)
Getting ready to start my garden on my own so glad I found your videos.
Hi Luke, I also have 10’ raised beds. Is it possible to plant 5’ of the corn, then wait 10-15 days and plant the other 5’? Planning for next year 😉
Excellent Info as ever man... All the best from the Little |Farmers Farm... Good health dude!

Luke I know what you mean I used to watch his shows all the time anyway thanks for all your information
My lettuce grows back after I cut it. I plant a long line of it and just keep cutting salads.
My tomatoes come all year as well I just keep picking. Not sure they have a time. I do however plant small seedlings later as well to get bulk for canning
Christopher P Creation same here.

Mine bolts as soon as it gets hot.

Very helpful information! Thanks 👍🏾
Killing it with the gardening strategy!
Aren't leeks & green onion allium? I think leeks would be good to succession grow but I don't know how.
I have 2 strawberry plants that are in hanging pots.. what do I do after they are done producing to preserve for next year. I reside in the Midwest
Thatnk you, thank you, thank you! I was going to try onion seeds, just to get green onions but now I'll wait for spring. :-D
With potted tomatoes is it okay to quarter turn the container daily/weekly? Any opinion on this?
What about bunching onions? They don't have a bulb right?
Fantastic gardening! Wishing you a beautiful day x) 🦋
I kind of do this naturally bc I can’t do it all at once
How many mouths are you feeding?
Looking so healthy, Luke!
Great video for planting.
I have cucumber, and tomato (Roma, and Independence Day Cherry) seedlings that are only about 4-5 inches tall. Do I still have time to try to keep them going, or am I too late?

Hi, just have a question... curious if you could do a segment on pink Brandywine tomatoes? I have some planted and CANNOT get them to fruit... I even tried hand pollinating. Any ideas?
If you're growing scallions/bunching onions (where they won't be bulbing up), does the "don't succession plant" warning still apply?
I learn something new with each video. Ty Luke. Also..very nice nod to Curtiss Stone. I like him too, altjiugj5 hes a little more advanced than I'm about Yet. Lol. Thanks for that tidbit about the tomatoes. Blessings

Luke, the first garden bed you were sitting and talk just after the intro, What kind of pipe is that? Where did you purchase? Thanks! Great videos!
Thank you for explaining how to plant lettuce and succession growing.
Luke a little off subject but what do u think of using high intensity in a hydro system?
Do a video on weed please
Good to know👍🏼
How do you keep the birds out of that strawberry bed?? 😳
I bought some netting from Amazon specifically made for keeping birds off of fruit bearing plants. It worked like a charm! I also used it on my raspberry bushes - it also worked well but the thorns kept catching on the netting making it hard to lift when I needed to water and it caused the netting to tear.
I add cats to my garden. Keeps birds away but you have to keep them from pouncing on the cantaloupe leaves.😂

We were wondering how many raised beds you have at your house?
Do a video on how to grow raspberries in a container
Great video Luke, and I love Curtis.
Great Vid, thank you.
Awesome tips and info as usual :-)
What zone are you in?
Where do you get those ~7-8' tall wood stakes?
In another video, I think Luke said he uses furring strips. Doesn’t seem super cost effective to me, but he seems happy with it.
This is so helpful.
Thanks for these Tips 😊
Earned a like for dropping Curtis Stones name!
Earned it before that I would say!
Curtis stone is a kook
Good Video.
Great info!
:)))
1st comment
Great video. What zone are you in? Would be cool to include that in the descriptions.
Ah. 6a. Found it for Marysville :-)
Please advise, is it a bad news if there are bunch of tinny white mushrooms growing in the garden? Should I throw out all the soil and start a new?
Ngoc Long it should be fine. I get mushrooms when I water a lot. They haven't harmed anything yet.
Thank you. Now I feel at ease. ^_^
Mushrooms mean that your soil is holding on to water. You can cut back on your watering. It's also a very good sign in terms of soil life. Just watch for plants vulnerable to humidity problems, like tomatoes and squash.
