3:36 …. IseeWhatUdidThere with the "Sandlot". 🤭 5:01 FACCCCTS. I have too many other options than to take up that real estate in My garden FOR THAT. Someone was gonna send Me the honeypan squash, but she flaked on Me. I'm sure I'll get it from a trusted source eventually though. 5:29 THE WHOLE ENTIRE TRUTH is what keeps bringing Me back here. I keep trying to see if I can "train" large tomato plants to be prolific 'cause I'm CONVINCED THAT I CAN (using specific knowledge that comes from particular experience) — but I haven't been successful so far. I'mma try ONE MO' TIME THO' & that's IT…. wellllll, MAYBE TWO MORE times.
What do you hate of the patty pan squash? seems like they have maybe a thick skin, maybe bitter but considered it but now now! I like gray zucchini which seem like calabacitas.
The way smell kills insects is them being exposed to hunting bugs longer. When they have to look around for what they like, they are being hunted by your predators longer.
Butterfly peas are in the pea family.. and although edible not meant to be eaten as peas..
for me its a useful decorative plant… it grows enthusiastically, the flowers are beautiful and nutritious.. since it is a perennial legume in the tropics i am now trying it as a nitogen fixer in my food forest… time will tell if its a success for that use… if not it still brightens my garden..🤷♀️
Love your channel I learn a lot watching it. I Have not had luck with bush beans I tried to grow in summer. Is that the wrong time to grow? I'm getting ready to try again for the fall
Kohlrabi – sure, it's fairly easy to grow, but aside from dipping it in something with flavor, we just don't use it for anything.
Considering not growing big beefy tomatoes too… It just takes so long for those to put any out!
Okinawan sweet potato… Almost. I love the color, flavor and texture, but man it is so inconsistent for production. I'm gonna plant a few next year, but that's it. If they don't produce, then I'm done with em. I planted something like 25 slips, and I'd be lucky if we got a pound per plant average. Some had decent roots, some had zero. There are so many other varieties that produce well, and have good flavor. That's what we want!
On our love list – Sungold cherry tomatoes. Man, these things gave us loads of sweet goodness, and have produced even after a touch of frost this fall.
Potatoes -fresh potatoes are so delicious, and pretty easy to grow here with our cool wet spring and warm dry summer.
Kabocha squash – fairly short vine to produce a good family sized squash that tastes delicious.
Garlic – I love how "set it and forget it" it is, and we get great yields up here.
Yeh with the onions it's more about mild confusion with smell than actual pest repellent. Now if I wanted to truly repel something with smell, like say, voles, just plant daffodils around whatever needs repellent. Vermin hate daffodils. One time I accidentally walled off a vole INSIDE my flower garden by planting daffodils in a ring around it. Flowers got rekt, but it didn't dig through the daffodil border.
1. SPOON TOMATOES. Man don’t do it! They are a big fat No-No. They taste good, and look good in a salad. HOWEVER, they are SUPER invasive and extremely difficult to harvest. Much like the ground cherry, the next year, I had spoon tomatoes everywhere; even in places I didn’t plant them. Plant them and you will have spoon tomatoes forever; like it or not.
I’m a houseplants fiend and I don’t normally grow veggies as I’ve just got a NYC balcony. I had a old potato which I planted. They were so good when I dug them up out of that pot and cooked them. I do grow purslane. It’s normally a weed but it’s edible. It volunteers in my houseplants and it’s got a slight lemony sourness and satisfying crunch and once you get it you can’t get rid of it so might as well use it.
@Brokefarmer I was really wanting to know what was the name of that pear tree you mentioned in a Livestream with another gardener. You said you were opposed to the way it grows, or it invades and takes over too much space, or something. I have had 2 pear trees in containers for a couple of months, wondering if they are one of those that you spoke of🤔🤷🏽
🤣🤣🤣 Try the cherry tomatoes! I agree with you about the large ones. I tried it last year for the first time I said NEVER AGAIN too! I put in all that work and I didn't get to eat NOT ONE! The horn worms took over! Smh. I started me a list of what I will never try again myself. Lol. I mostly grow herbs now and the fruits and vegetables that I love and can freeze a long time. I love growing okra and crookneck squash in my garden as well. Very easy!
My list is 1. Corn. Nuff said. 2. Squash. I keep only getting male flowers. Very strange. 3. Soybean. I did it as an experiment. Never flowered. 4. White potatoes. I have tried every technique and my harvests are so small. 5. Broccoli in spring. Just too many bugs but they are doing great now in late fall.
I had given up on cabbage due to bugs in the spring but I will try your technique of doing them now. I'll see.😂
Hello! I’m doubling down on MELONS. I grew Minnesota Midgets this year & my favorite days were the ones when I got to eat a warm, ripe melon!! Filled me up. 1 melon per serving, I think I got 6 melons per plant. I also plant 12 basils in a 8 gallon grow bag to make pesto for noodles (swoon!). I will NOT grow chard or spinach again — oxalates!! Chinese cabbage was filthy with earwigs, but will try again in pots. YES, green beans are a must-have, and so is romaine lettuce and peppers. Always, always grow those.
I'm with you about the ground cherries. We love them, but the little critters, rats, squirrels and chipmunks love them even more. We had no ground cherry harvest, only ground cherry husks. Never again!
You are very funny, I appreciate that. I like your opinions except for the Butterfly Peas. They have the deepest blue flowers that can be gathered and dried for a blue tea. Delicious. Thanks for your tips. 🌵🥑🐓🌱🌷🦠🍊🍀
Great, great, great video. Give us more! What about growing some of the less desired things in smallish containers? Why can you not eat butterfly peas? Are they poisonous or bad tasting?
Im from georgia and moved to michigan. im trying to start a garden for next spring. Thank you for the squash tip. I grew butternut in georgia. Now ill try cushaw and honey nut here. Ill let you know how they turn out.
In northern California if you plant one large heirloom tomato species, you'll have more than you'll know what to do with 😂 everyone I know who grew tomatoes this last summer in my area had a tomato explosion
I planted Red Ripper Purple Hull Peas around my young fig trees this year to add nitrogen to the soil, keep the wild bunnies away from my main garden, provide ground cover and I got a great harvest. I let them dry in the pods inside out of the rain. They get stung by beetles in summer which ruins the developing peas so in summer I cook the green pods whole but by September the beetles go away and I pick the pods when they turn purple and dry them inside. It`s too humid outside and they will rot. It`s November and there are baby ground cherry plants coming up 30 feet from where the plant was. I put one in a pot to grow under a 24 watt Sansi grow bulb on a timer indoors this winter.
Lemon cucumbers I won't ever grow again. Got a lot of em and grew like a redwood but it looks like a cross between a lemon and cucumber and don't taste sweet no matter what stage you harvest them.

Sounds like you just had a bad variety of tomatoes. I have a beefsteak variety that grows tons of fruit and reseeds itself each year.
CUZOOOO XOXO
First of all Patti Pan is the best squash. For you to be bragging kusa, You can't even cut into that thing. What do it taste like to you.
You are crackin me up! Right there with ya on certain crops that for us are just not worth it!
Bruh, you made me laugh so I had to subbed🎉😂

NO pattypans. Zero taste. No big tomatoes or maybe no tomatoes 😂. Probably no lemon squash.
What do you hate of the patty pan squash? seems like they have maybe a thick skin, maybe bitter but considered it but now now! I like gray zucchini which seem like calabacitas.
Plant black eyed peas every few yards of melon and squash. The wasps and ants will come for the bean sap and stay to hunt borers and bugs
I’m growing walking onions
The way smell kills insects is them being exposed to hunting bugs longer. When they have to look around for what they like, they are being hunted by your predators longer.
Ive never heard of butterfly peas, just butterfly pea flowers
Thanks 😊
Loved your video and definitely agree on your opinions!
Butterfly peas are in the pea family.. and although edible not meant to be eaten as peas..

Diabolically horrible 😂. Never tasted it….
100% love honeynut squash!
My never list this year goes to:
Kohlrabi – sure, it's fairly easy to grow, but aside from dipping it in something with flavor, we just don't use it for anything.
Considering not growing big beefy tomatoes too… It just takes so long for those to put any out!
Okinawan sweet potato… Almost. I love the color, flavor and texture, but man it is so inconsistent for production. I'm gonna plant a few next year, but that's it.

brother, you should harvest the thyme more often. The longer it gets the woodier it gets. You can dry it. That helps it get bushy and stay green.
Larger tomatoes have been crazy for the past few years.
I'm from Texas and I had worms eating my onion
This is hilarious 😂 I love it. Just subscribed. I have never heard of ground 🍒 cherries
Okra
I laughed through this whole video! I'm subscribing 😂
Great video , thanks so much for sharing
I don’t even eat slicing tomatoes. I use tomatoes strictly for sauce making so I only grow paste and cherry tomatoes
I asked my husband if I can make dirt taste good? 😅
09:10 = Cushaw Squash

I love the winter squash but I can't cut the darn things up! Its so hard!

New sub here so hello from South Carolina, neighbor!
I enjoyed your video so much – I agreed as I laughed – so funny. Jerusalem artichokes are another to not grow again! The will take over everything!
Lemon cucumbers I won't ever grow again. Got a lot of em and grew like a redwood but it looks like a cross between a lemon and cucumber and don't taste sweet no matter what stage you harvest them.
