    Hello Susan- I wanted to let you know that I just watched GROWING A GREENER WORLD.
    And there you were, talking about your garden and snapping photos of birds! It was a wonderful program!
    I chose this garden tour, done 10 months ago, because I needed to take a 2nd walk through it. We just commissioned our carpenter to build our first set of raised beds with fencing. Your garden is the perfect example of what we hope to achieve! And I see your Insect Hotel behind your tomato bed. Our house is situated next to the woods. I will plant Borage as well as a bee hotel. Any suggestions what else the bees can't resist? What do you do to get ahead of dreaded squash bug :-O. I know it is best to plant early and hand pick... Thank you for sharing your wonderful garden with us. We three are sheltered in place on our family farm.
    The first calf arrived yesterday. A lovely Hereford hefier. 19 to go, unless we have twins!
    I look forward to following you spring plantings :-) - Sincerely Diane

    • @SusansInTheGarden
      @SusansInTheGarden  4 роки тому

      Hi, Diane. It's nice to meet you! I'm so glad you enjoyed our episode. Some of my favorite perennials that attract bees are goldenrod, sedum, bee balm and coneflowers. You can find a great list of pollinator-attracting plants on the Xerces Society's web site: xerces.org/pollinator-conservation/pollinator-friendly-plant-lists. Re: squash bugs, here are some ideas: www.susansinthegarden.com/guides/organic-pest-control/solutions-insect-name/squash-bugs/. This is from my website's Organic Pest Control section which is under the "Guides" menu. I hope some of the ideas will help! Take care. (and that's exciting about the first calf, they're so adorable)

    • @SusansInTheGarden

      Yup, they are a form of scarecrow and came from the dollar store! We have a lot of quail in our garden, so we use toy snakes to keep them away from young seedlings until the plants can fend for themselves. They are surprisingly effective but I have to tell you, you're not the first person to point them out!

    "Hey, there's more pepper plants out here!"....Susan, you made me laugh out loud at this. You've gotta love that Bill! By the way, you guys have a beautiful garden. I learned something new watching this, I have never used copper foil (I believe that's what you called it) around plants to eliminate the slugs. Where do I get this and does it come in a roll like aluminum foil? I'm going to have to try this around the new Hosta plants which I'll be planting soon, I'm creating a new shade garden (eliminating more of my lawn mowing). I really enjoy your garden tours and here's a suggestion, I think you should make a video of Bill harvesting his peppers when they're ready. Oh, the use of row covers is a fantastic idea too! No more holes in the leaves!

    Love your videos. My granddaughter just started her freshman year at Gonzaga and was surprised by the early snow as well.
    I was interested in your method of storing veggies in the plastic container with the moistened straw. Do you put the cover on the plastic container to keep out critters and if you do does that present a mold problem? I live in the Central Valley of California and am wondering if our winters are cold enough to keep a closed moist container from molding. Love the copper ring idea...will try that as we have a slug problem as well. Thanks for all your good information.

    • @SusansInTheGarden
      @SusansInTheGarden  5 років тому

      Hi, Penny. We only rest the lid on top of the container, so there's still some air circulation. We don't have any critter problems in our garage so we don't have to worry about that.

    • @SusansInTheGarden
      @SusansInTheGarden  5 років тому +1

      Thank you. We have drip tape (a type of drip irrigation) in the majority of the beds, although we are considering switching to 1/4" drip tubing as we feel it might water the veggies a little better. However, I did produce a video on our drip irrigation system last year. Here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/AHvWFn7v7y4/v-deo.html

    • @SusansInTheGarden
      @SusansInTheGarden  5 років тому

      Hi, Tony. Thanks for your nice comments. We are using some recycled 1/2" drip tubing from an old irrigation project. You could use flexible PVC pipe or bent rebar rods or bent electrical conduit instead. The last 2 would make them extra sturdy and they would withstand a snow load if you happen to grow a winter garden as well. Cheers!

    I am in Western WA and aphids on my cabbage have been awful this year, also first year growing turnips---sadly they were decimated by cabbage root maggot.

    • @SusansInTheGarden
      @SusansInTheGarden  5 років тому

      Floating row cover will definitely prevent aphid problems on the cabbage family crops and can help with root maggot issues as well. Here are my suggestions: clean up garden debris and remove any of the targeted crops at the end of the season to eliminate potential host plants for the pupae. If root maggots have been a problem in your garden in the past, cover your target crops with floating row cover to create a physical barrier that the adult flies can’t get through. Avoid planting cabbage family crops or onion family crops in the same location over a three-year period. It is also possible to sprinkle diatomaceous earth around the base of your plants to make it difficult for adults to lay eggs. I hope this helps. Good luck!

    I there Susan ,love your videos ,,I have planted my green pole beans a few times already and they don’t seem to be coming up I planted them like you say but it put them in little peat disc do you think that could be why I have them in a container with the clear plastic lid on them a couple of beans have come up but that’s it

    • @SusansInTheGarden
      @SusansInTheGarden  5 років тому

      Hi, Val. Well, that is frustrating. Are you planting the bean seeds within an opening in the peat disc? The reason I ask is that I've found large-seeded vegetable crops don't germinate very well in them. You could either plant your seeds directly in the ground at this point or try planting them in a container where there is nothing that restricts the seeds from sprouting. Also, how old are the seeds? That might be an issue. But if they are new, I would say the peat discs are the problem... provided they are somehow preventing the large seeds from germinating. I hope this helps!

    • @SusansInTheGarden
      @SusansInTheGarden  5 років тому

      Hi there. If I understand your question correctly, you are wondering what we use to grow winter crops? If that's the case, we grow extra-cold-hardy salad greens through the winter months inside our little hoop house (where the peppers are right now). And during the coldest parts of the winter, I also have a sheet of floating row cover over the 2 raised beds to give the plants a little extra protection. The following links go my videos on growing a winter garden: ua-cam.com/video/uu4WemeCFq0/v-deo.html, ua-cam.com/video/CTcYa7dAmfs/v-deo.html,
      ua-cam.com/video/9P81HWVZHTQ/v-deo.html. If I misunderstood your question, let me know. I do use floating row cover out in the garden early in the spring for some frost protection. I hope this helps.

    I have 4 Tomato Plants in a Raised Bed. Three out of the four are not flowering at all. They've been in the ground approx 3 weeks and are growing taller. Any Suggestions? My Box Store suggested that I replant them to another bed/container and that might shock the plants to start flowering?

    • @SusansInTheGarden
      @SusansInTheGarden  5 років тому

      I have a couple of thoughts: 1) they might not be ready to flower yet, esp. if they are indeterminate tomato varieties which are a little later to set fruit. 2) you might want to give them some organic fertilizer that is higher in phosphorus (the middle number on the container) than nitrogen or potassium. Phosphorus promotes blooming and setting fruit. If you have fertilized them with a high-nitrogen product, that promotes leafy growth rather than blooming and setting fruit. I hope this helps!

    • @SusansInTheGarden
      @SusansInTheGarden  5 років тому

      Hi, Judy. In theory, one should orient beds or rows in a garden north-south so taller plants don't shade other plants as the sun moves across the sky. However, we didn't know that way back when we originally put in our raised bed garden (nearly 30 years ago!) so we went with an east-west orientation. And it's too daunting to redo the entire garden! However, I have to say it really hasn't been a big issue for our garden. Have a fun garden season!
