Gary, the little bird that's making all the noise is a Wren! You must have bird houses or holes in trees because he is looking for a nesting spot. He will make a few nests and then bring his mate real estate shopping. She will choose one nesting spot, tear it apart, then build it back up!
I do have lots of birdhouses. Bluebird size and they do nest around here. And very interesting. Thanks. Thanks for your support and please visit..

I love that you showed a mess, we can all identify and it's good to see. It's like Julia Childs cooking show, at times she'd tear a dough rolling it out and said not to worry, put a patch on it and done. It helps the average Joe to see not just the best in a garden, showing the actual goings on makes things far more relatable and endearing.

I know and agree with you that so many warm season varieties can be direct seeded and I do on the second wave. I just can't let go of having transplants in the beginning!! Old dogs not learning new tricks I guess!!!😅

I’m in MD as well and spring is so hard for cold weather crops, all of mine bolted 10-14 days ago, have left them for insects. It bums me out every year because I never get great crops of spinach or long season radishes. Snap peas are doing great! And lettuce!
Radishes here in the fall are so good. Thanks for your support and please visit.. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD
My radishes bolted with the spring heat. I only got a handfull of Malaga radish, and one German Giant. Next year, I'll plant earlier. My cucumbers are doing great, flowering, and starting to climb. The summer squash, especially the crookneck squash, is going crazy. The cantaloupe and watermelon are flowering and climbing their arched trellis too. The peppers I planted in the Twin Towers of Peppers are doing amaizingly well. I've had to stake up about half the peppers so far. I have extra tomato seedlings for my detrminant tomato replacement crop. I'm going to plant them in my radish beds. I've been harvesting lettuce, bunching onions, strawberries, and now I have a few peppers ready to harvest too. I just transplaned two Goji Berry bushes into my herb garden this morning, just in timw for a rainy week. I had a lot of flower seeds that didn't germinate, mostly marigolds, and strawflower. I reseeded with alyussum, and something else-can't remember, and didn't write it down, or make tags. Whatever I sowed, it and the Alyssum have germinated. Attempt number three growing kohlrabi looks promising. I have at least a couple plants that are bulbing up. My potatoes are flowering and beginning to turn yellow and fall over. I'll harvest them in about two weeks. The garlic will be ready to harvest soon afterward. Update on the sonic stakes: I haven't had any new vole holes or damage since deploying them. Is it them, cats eating them, the repellent, or a combination of ll three that worked? The voles were ignoring, or using the repellent to get high, so I can eliminate that. I've seen one of the yard cats eating fresh vole meat, and they havent been eating their food most days. They are hunting, and eating prey. But is it them? In part yes, but not entirely. I think the stakes are working. How far? I have one in each unprotected 4x8 foot raised bed, big time overkill. They are supposed to work in a 96 foot (diameter) area. I'm not trying for a mass eviction, just keeping them out of my raised beds. I have cats keep the vole population in check.
I am going to plant more for the fall. Cats work. Thanks for your support and please visit.. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD

I’m out every morning painfully collecting pill bugs with a plastic spoon into a coffee can. I think they are laughing at me while they are happily feasting on my plants and reproducing. 😂 May try food grade DE, but for now, I am noticing fewer.
That much looks really cool 👍this suggestion might sound weird but maybe a few hundred seeds from the bolted broccoli plants could be planted there just to see what happens..? I mean as a no-maintenance thing - maybe it works, maybe it doesnt, and maybe it doesnt really matter. Maybe it doesnt make sense timing wise either but it's still a new round of plants that perhaps can be put "somewhere" and work anyway! If the mulch is made up of small pieces - not big bits of wood and stuff - then maybe seeds will germibate in it 🤔 and it should stay cool beneath the surface but maybe not at the very top... My spinach kind of failed - we got a sudden spring, it's hopeless - so I tried doing that, with spinach and mustard, but into gravel! If that much really cant support seed starting then maybe an inch of soil underneath

I've seen a lot of people that do dense planting do 1 pepper/ft. I don't know how the production works with 2 peppers right next to each other or 1 per ft. I think if you're happy doing what you're doing and get good results it doesn't matter what some book or seed packet says. Seed packet info tends to reference information from farming, and farming crops is not the same thing as gardening. Farming techniques are designed for beginning to end, plants in a row to make it easier for treating and harvesting.
Best idea is not to think the seed packs are gold. Test out some ideas and like you said, stick with what works. Thanks for your support and please visit..

Been struggling with my market more cucs this year. They did good for me last year in northern Arkansas but not doing to good in central Illinois.

You're definitely warmer than us up here. We had some 80's but not that many consecutive days and we've been going down close to 40 some nights lately. I've held back on a lot of my eggplants and peppers because of the cool nights but it looks like lows should stay above 60 starting tomorrow so everything is going in. I don't have any ripe strawberries yet but my broccoli is hanging in there and hoping for some nice heads in a couple weeks. Did you ever try purple sprouting broccoli for a fall crop? Looks like it takes longer to produce than regular broccoli but I never grew it.

Another wonderful video! I love it that you are showing more of your whole garden recently. I’m just down the street from you in Northern Virginia, and I’ve pretty much given up on kale or anything from the cabbage family because of the white moths. Same with direct seeding cucumbers - the vine borers get to them before they get a chance to establish. How do you deal with both of those?
Glad to share. Doing more long formats but now with timestamps so people can see more or just jump around. Moths are a pain but I found eating the the kale faster than they can hatch works well. I was planting too much. I also build a chicken wire cage around some and that is working. Just keep direct seeding or putting out more transplants and you plant through the vine borers life cycle.

I usually feed the rabbits in the woods away from garden, then I have my garden around my house watered from rain barrels. So as long as they are fed they don't come near my house. So quite a distance from my house is where I feed them. All my wild animals are fed consistently in the woods. Even in the winter, I feed the deer.

I just love looking at your garden It’s so relaxing. Wish my garden looked as good. 😊 Another great video. I do have a question. I’ve searched and searched but cannot find an answer. With the exception of my tomatoes I plant everything in containers. Do the same rules apply regarding companion planting? I read do not plant potato’s (sweet or regular) near tomatoes because of blight. Other vegetable, all I can find is certain vegetables should not be planted together because they can rob the soil of nutrients or just cause a problem in general. Like don’t plant basil near fennel… is this applicable to container gardening? I hope I made sense. Thank you!
In containers you have to really stay up on water soluble fertilizer anyway so nothing really will rob anything. Diseases travel a good distance, so in a home garden, plant as you wish. You arent going to cause diseases issues. Thanks for your support and please visit..

You mix sugar with it. I have a video on it if you want to look it up. Just search Borax.This works for ants that eat sugar. Thanks for your support and please visit..

I live in MD also, what do you use for the slugs & snails... I have heard ducks are the cure, though my husband has said no to ducks & chickens. I was hoping the birds would eat the baby slugs, NO THEY don't... Just found your video....
I use snail and slug baits. I have video on it if you search that. Slug baits work hands down. Thanks for your support and please visit..

I prefer to err on the side of caution therefore I will not use galvanized steel metal raised beds. It has a protective zinc coating which contains an impurity of lead. I guess if you trust that Chinas quality control is top notch, then thats your perogative. I do not. Galvanized steel can also contain cadmium, mercury and aresenic.
Also depends on which elements actually get pulled into the plants. You can also line beds. Thanks for your support and please visit..

Gary, the little bird that's making all the noise is a Wren! You must have bird houses or holes in trees because he is looking for a nesting spot. He will make a few nests and then bring his mate real estate shopping. She will choose one nesting spot, tear it apart, then build it back up!
I do have lots of birdhouses. Bluebird size and they do nest around here. And very interesting. Thanks.

I love that you showed a mess, we can all identify and it's good to see. It's like Julia Childs cooking show, at times she'd tear a dough rolling it out and said not to worry, put a patch on it and done. It helps the average Joe to see not just the best in a garden, showing the actual goings on makes things far more relatable and endearing.
I think it is important to see how a garden is most of the time lol. Cheers
Thank you for showing what your "working garden" looks like on a regular day. Makes me feel a lot better about how mine looks a lot of the time! Lol

I’m in MD as well and spring is so hard for cold weather crops, all of mine bolted 10-14 days ago, have left them for insects. It bums me out every year because I never get great crops of spinach or long season radishes. Snap peas are doing great! And lettuce!
Radishes here in the fall are so good.

My radishes bolted with the spring heat. I only got a handfull of Malaga radish, and one German Giant. Next year, I'll plant earlier. My cucumbers are doing great, flowering, and starting to climb. The summer squash, especially the crookneck squash, is going crazy. The cantaloupe and watermelon are flowering and climbing their arched trellis too. The peppers I planted in the Twin Towers of Peppers are doing amaizingly well. I've had to stake up about half the peppers so far. I have extra tomato seedlings for my detrminant tomato replacement crop. I'm going to plant them in my radish beds. I've been harvesting lettuce, bunching onions, strawberries, and now I have a few peppers ready to harvest too. I just transplaned two Goji Berry bushes into my herb garden this morning, just in timw for a rainy week. I had a lot of flower seeds that didn't germinate, mostly marigolds, and strawflower. I reseeded with alyussum, and something else-can't remember, and didn't write it down, or make tags. Whatever I sowed, it and the Alyssum have germinated. Attempt number three growing kohlrabi looks promising. I have at least a couple plants that are bulbing up. My potatoes are flowering and beginning to turn yellow and fall over. I'll harvest them in about two weeks. The garlic will be ready to harvest soon afterward. Update on the sonic stakes: I haven't had any new vole holes or damage since deploying them. Is it them, cats eating them, the repellent, or a combination of ll three that worked? The voles were ignoring, or using the repellent to get high, so I can eliminate that. I've seen one of the yard cats eating fresh vole meat, and they havent been eating their food most days. They are hunting, and eating prey. But is it them? In part yes, but not entirely. I think the stakes are working. How far? I have one in each unprotected 4x8 foot raised bed, big time overkill. They are supposed to work in a 96 foot (diameter) area. I'm not trying for a mass eviction, just keeping them out of my raised beds. I have cats keep the vole population in check.
I am going to plant more for the fall. Cats work.

Pill bugs are eating my marigold seedlings. So much for starting from seed…. I’ll have to grow some larger plants and then put in the garden.

I’m out every morning painfully collecting pill bugs with a plastic spoon into a coffee can. I think they are laughing at me while they are happily feasting on my plants and reproducing. 😂 May try food grade DE, but for now, I am noticing fewer.
That much looks really cool 👍this suggestion might sound weird but maybe a few hundred seeds from the bolted broccoli plants could be planted there just to see what happens..? I mean as a no-maintenance thing - maybe it works, maybe it doesnt, and maybe it doesnt really matter. Maybe it doesnt make sense timing wise either but it's still a new round of plants that perhaps can be put "somewhere" and work anyway!
If the mulch is made up of small pieces - not big bits of wood and stuff - then maybe seeds will germibate in it 🤔 and it should stay cool beneath the surface but maybe not at the very top...
My spinach kind of failed - we got a sudden spring, it's hopeless - so I tried doing that, with spinach and mustard, but into gravel! If that much really cant support seed starting then maybe an inch of soil underneath
Interesting Idea. I do always recommend experimenting.

I've seen a lot of people that do dense planting do 1 pepper/ft. I don't know how the production works with 2 peppers right next to each other or 1 per ft. I think if you're happy doing what you're doing and get good results it doesn't matter what some book or seed packet says.
Seed packet info tends to reference information from farming, and farming crops is not the same thing as gardening. Farming techniques are designed for beginning to end, plants in a row to make it easier for treating and harvesting.
Best idea is not to think the seed packs are gold. Test out some ideas and like you said, stick with what works.

You're definitely warmer than us up here. We had some 80's but not that many consecutive days and we've been going down close to 40 some nights lately. I've held back on a lot of my eggplants and peppers because of the cool nights but it looks like lows should stay above 60 starting tomorrow so everything is going in. I don't have any ripe strawberries yet but my broccoli is hanging in there and hoping for some nice heads in a couple weeks. Did you ever try purple sprouting broccoli for a fall crop? Looks like it takes longer to produce than regular broccoli but I never grew it.
I havent tried it for the fall. The broccoli is the video was a purple variety btw.

Another wonderful video! I love it that you are showing more of your whole garden recently. I’m just down the street from you in Northern Virginia, and I’ve pretty much given up on kale or anything from the cabbage family because of the white moths. Same with direct seeding cucumbers - the vine borers get to them before they get a chance to establish. How do you deal with both of those?
Glad to share. Doing more long formats but now with timestamps so people can see more or just jump around. Moths are a pain but I found eating the the kale faster than they can hatch works well. I was planting too much. I also build a chicken wire cage around some and that is working. Just keep direct seeding or putting out more transplants and you plant through the vine borers life cycle. Good luck.

I usually feed the rabbits in the woods away from garden, then I have my garden around my house watered from rain barrels. So as long as they are fed they don't come near my house. So quite a distance from my house is where I feed them. All my wild animals are fed consistently in the woods. Even in the winter, I feed the deer.
Great tip. Thanks.

I just love looking at your garden It’s so relaxing. Wish my garden looked as good. 😊 Another great video.
I do have a question. I’ve searched and searched but cannot find an answer. With the exception of my tomatoes I plant everything in containers. Do the same rules apply regarding companion planting? I read do not plant potato’s (sweet or regular) near tomatoes because of blight. Other vegetable, all I can find is certain vegetables should not be planted together because they can rob the soil of nutrients or just cause a problem in general. Like don’t plant basil near fennel… is this applicable to container gardening? I hope I made sense. Thank you!
In containers you have to really stay up on water soluble fertilizer anyway so nothing really will rob anything. Diseases travel a good distance, so in a home garden, plant as you wish. You arent going to cause diseases issues.

Hi, I’m trellising my tomatoes this year. Is there a difference in spacing between one stem and two stem plants? Love your site easy to follow and thorough.
Not really but if you dont go with 1 or 2 stems more spacing is needed.

The garden looks great! I have a question on blueberries. Mine have been looking vibrant and green since I added acidifier, but, now, a couple of mine have red blotches on the leaves (center of the redness looks like a bug bite). Suggestions?
Unless it is spreading, I would just ignore it. I don't know what it is. You can remove them as a precaution

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN thanks
AFTER 21:35 there is a V shaped trellis next to your tower of peppers. It is anchored in a raised bed. The wire it is made of is so straight, it doesn't look like it came off a roll, and it appears quite stiff and sturdy. Can you tell me what kind of wire you used? I would like to make some trellises like yours.
Thats a shelving rack. I have a video on it from last month called easiest trellis to make or something like that.

I'm just north of you in Sykesville, MD. I lost all my onions and spring onions on the last 2 weeks. Peeled them back, all infested with Onion maggots. Didnt know if your garden was experiencing anything similar this spring?
Probably have maggots. Sadly.

In N Texas we’ve been having rain for days! It’s been a cooler spring than normal and plants have had a good opportunity to get a good start before blasting heat starts. I’ve actually had large nasturtiums for the first time ever.
What are your thoughts on the sq ft gardening metod?
It works. Some stuff is kinda of tight. I plant close together. Just depends on how you like to plant.

I put in a purple asparagus bed in late March and in the beginning of April something dug up the crowns. I replanted them. The first week in May nothing had sprouted,dug up a couple of spots where I had crowns,nothing. Got more crowns and replanted. Any thoughts on what dug up the crowns and will the last planting have enough growing season by frost kill to comeback next spring? Upstate New York.
Nope. But I would lay chicken wire across it. It can pop through the holes. Just remove it in the winter.

GARY! I've been gardening for 30 ish years, living in N. VT zone 4b turning into 5a past decade. It's been unseasonally warmer. It was 48• last night. (lMy poor baby pepper seedlings. I just put 3" transplants out, if I cloche them is there hope for them or are they stunted. Planted 6"-8" apart.
They will be okay once the soil gets to be warm regularly. Cloche helps at night. Just dont forget to remove it during the day with full sun. They can get damaged.

Question, do you use anything with the borax or is it just Borax. I have a huge ant problem. At least 5 different ant hills on my 4 1/4 acres. 1 of those is just beyond our property on the neighbors but its right by our backyard. They hit my Raised Beds heavily.
You mix sugar with it. I have a video on it if you want to look it up. Just search Borax.This works for ants that eat sugar.

When did you direct sow your peas?
Mine were done back in later march and early April.
I live in MD also, what do you use for the slugs & snails... I have heard ducks are the cure, though my husband has said no to ducks & chickens. I was hoping the birds would eat the baby slugs, NO THEY don't... Just found your video....
I use snail and slug baits. I have video on it if you search that. Slug baits work hands down.

Is Borax better than the ant stakes?
You know I dont know. But if if ant stakes work, I would stick with them. Some people all also concerned about chemicals baited traps have.

Is it possible to make potting soil from garden soil? I got the wrong thing from Garden store…
Garden Soil bagged just requires additions of peat moss to bring it to potting quality

Every single one of my raised beds has ants in them but none of my in ground beds have any. It’s very strange.
Lots of rain?
They like the edges I think.

How do I email you?
I would like to order 24 of the #10 fabric bags but it only lets me order 12
You can reach me at therustedgarden@gmail.com. I will have my brother contact you. We might just have to flip a switch. Thanks for the order.
I prefer to err on the side of caution therefore I will not use galvanized steel metal raised beds. It has a protective zinc coating which contains an impurity of lead. I guess if you trust that Chinas quality control is top notch, then thats your perogative. I do not. Galvanized steel can also contain cadmium, mercury and aresenic.
Also depends on which elements actually get pulled into the plants. You can also line beds.
