What a summer. Almost felt like throwing in the trowel. 😟 The cooler temps seem to be working their magic. Even though my fall vegetable starts were battered by leaf minor, I planted what could be salvaged (mostly bare stems with a hint of one tiny leaf) and covered them with sheer curtains to help keep off the moths. We shall see. Thank you for the videos of your abundant garden and the much needed motivation to keep going.
We are always amazed at the variety of plants in your garden. We have zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers growing in our container garden. Have not picked anything yet, but it’s getting close! Our Double Delight and Peace roses are pushing out fall blooms. Looking forward to a bit lower temps! Ok, a lot lower. 😊
Hi Angela your garden always looks so much like a beautiful meadow. It’s half way through spring here whilst september was nice and warm in the 2O Celicus range . I planted tomatoes capsicum zucchini cucumbers watermelon lettuce radishes basil rocket sunflowers zinnia marigolds gladioli petunias .After an initial burst of growth due to the sun shine and new compost and worm castings
Oops touched over the send arrow before I finished my message. October has brought very cool weather and lots of rain. Hopefully they will establish well as we also have very hot summers. I used your idea of unground worm bin in a garden bed that was dry crumbling and not responding to traditional t ammendments a a few months have passed and the soil texture and structure have so much improved.
I am in Glendale AZ zone 9b. We had NO rain at all. Many plants died. Was able to save a few. Planting seeds hoping it isn't too late already. Love your garden. Working on growing Wild Palo Verde trees that volunteered so maybe I'll have good shade from those trees next summer!
How often are you watering right now? My Armenian cucumbers are still growing strong and my neighbors are tiring of them. Tomatoes, peppers, basil and squash are all producing. Planted some parsley, beets, radishes, kale and Swiss chard. Getting ready to plant broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. Love this time of year!
You have such a beautiful garden! I’ve just purchased lettuces and kale, lemongrass and garlic chives and will be planting them in large barrels. I’m hoping I’m not planting them too early. Enjoy your weekend - thanks for the update!
Thanks for this tour and the video. I grew up with Roselle Hibiscus. In Trinidad, we call it sorrel and make juice with it. Mine are just starting to bud again and I was worried about it but I will be patient with it now. I'm zone 9b, Murrieta California
Are your trellis and arch from local shop or big box stores? I recalled you mentioned the name of the local shop in previous video but didn’t catch it. I live in phx area, want to find a local shop to install arched trellis.
Where did you get the root beer hyssop from? What is your favorite local & online place to buy plants & seeds from? What about where you buy your compost and soil / soil amendments from?
I got the hyssop from Renee's Seeds: sh2543.ositracker.com/159509/9151/url_29327 I like Botanical Interests and Renee's Garden Seeds. You can also get Arizona-adapted varieties at Native Seeds Search. I get all my soil, compost, and amendments from Arizona Worm Farm.
Just planted lettuces and onions. Garlic goes in tomorrow. I have some sweet potato slips to plant but they are not quite ready yet. I am on zone 9B Southern California. Do you think it will be too late to plant the sweet potatoes? I have never done them before. We were 45° this morning. We should get a light frost early next month.
I'm in zone 9a. We have a saying here about planting sweet potatoes around Valentine's Day. "Love in the air; potatoes in the ground." or "Hearts in the air; potatoes in the ground." It's a good way to remember when to plant them.😊
Do a seed starting cold weather crops like mustards collards cabbage broccoli please thank you for sharing I think I know but just wanted to perfect some ideas on starting cold weather seedlings 🌱 thank you 🙏
When did you start your passion fruit!? After I type this comment i'm gonna search your channel, but I'd find it really helpful to see what plants are good to start from seed outdoors during Zona's October!
Here's a blog post about it: growinginthegarden.com/how-to-grow-passion-flower-vine/ I have a planting calendar that lists what to plant each month: growinginthegarden.bigcartel.com/category/planting-guides and a guide on my blog for each month: growinginthegarden.com/category/this-that/this-month-in-the-garden/
It was great to learn that you keep the ends of your beds free for herbs and flours. Do you select these places because of sun exposure or convenience? It looks like the east end of the bed from the shadows, but hard to tell, really.
I am getting ready to convert my grass backyard into a garden of Eden. Your videos are so helpful and informative. And your garden is inspirational!!! Do you have issues with cockroaches or scorpions because of all the mulch and moist soil in your yard?
Thank You for your input. I have another question. Do cucumber seedlings like Styrofoam containers? Or would bell peoper plants be better for Styrofoam container? You are awesome with the informative videos. I wished I had the land room to have a real garden with raised beds, room for greenhouse. But instead, we live in RV Park, I use the picnic table for all the plants. ⚘️😁❤️
Hay ! I'm living in Peoria and I'm Mexican and I understand a lil English but love your work !!
¡Gracias! Debería poder agregar subtítulos en español en la configuración de UA-cam.
Saw you on Epic Garden!!!
I live in Glendale and I can't even keep my store bought herbs alive. 😭

Great question I was just wondering the same thing.
Two Brother's Metal Works made them.
Thank you for sharing, Angela, most everything did so well even with the summer heat this year! It was a tough one here.
how did your tomatoes grow in 100+ degrees of weather?
Not well. Lost all but two yellow pear tomatoes.

I'd wait until spring to plant the sweet potatoes. They grow best in the heat.

or

Beautiful garden as usual. Do you take out the roselle every year and plant from seed? Mine have never grown that big but I plant seeds every year.
I haven't successfully overwintered one yet. These are new plants this year.
@@GrowingInTheGarden they must be really happy then!
Hi, where did you buy the squash trellis from?
Two Brothers Metal Works
Do a seed starting cold weather crops like mustards collards cabbage broccoli please thank you for sharing I think I know but just wanted to perfect some ideas on starting cold weather seedlings 🌱 thank you 🙏
Same principles apply - you can see my seed starting tips here: growinginthegarden.com/how-to-start-seeds-indoors-10-steps-for-success/
When do you plant Roselle?
Spring

It was great to learn that you keep the ends of your beds free for herbs and flours. Do you select these places because of sun exposure or convenience? It looks like the east end of the bed from the shadows, but hard to tell, really.
Connivence and beauty. Each bed has different sun exposure, so I have to vary what I plant.
Your plants look so healthy. Do you typically use compost for "fertilizing," or do you also add fertilizer products?
Usually compost, worm castings and vermicomposting bins in each bed.
I am getting ready to convert my grass backyard into a garden of Eden. Your videos are so helpful and informative. And your garden is inspirational!!! Do you have issues with cockroaches or scorpions because of all the mulch and moist soil in your yard?
Great idea! I love my food forest
Yes, we have roaches and scorpions - the chickens help.
@@GrowingInTheGarden geez! Scorpions…
When do you plant potatoes and sweet potatoes in zone 9b?
Plant sweet potatoes in the spring and potatoes through the fall and into January
My cucumber female flower are finally showing up, do u think the 100 degree days that are coming n Phoenix will kill it 😢
We have nice cool nights - I hope not!
Tucson Az here. I'm on round 2, being a first time gardener. Lol. Should Watering be cut back to 1x a day?? ❤🎉
Right now I'm watering once every 3 days.
