Hire some help to knock out your garden clean up. Sounds like you don't have a lot of time. Congrats !
Congrats on the new grandson. I was laughing so hard when you kept talking about how you were so excited for him to come over and garden with you and pick out a pumpkin this Halloween. My mom was the same way with my son when he was born. Sadly, she passed away when he was only 5 weeks old, but she did make sure that SHE bought him his first Easter basket, and we still have it and put it out for him on Easter – 14 years now!
I feel like she's blessed my yard this year. My pumpkins usually die by July, but this year we tried the Cinderella and Jarrahdale varieties instead of the Jack O Lantern variety, and the vines have completely taken over half our yard. (No deer in our neighborhood.) Our kids are going to have a blast picking pumpkins.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW GRANDBABY!!!!
Congratulations on the grandson I also became a grand dad this year . My garden ok could have been better lots of cucumbers, cherry toms , gold jubilee, melons and squash still doing good . Heat was hard on things this year.
Life happens. in your case for all the right reasons! Congratulations!
Happy Birthday Gary and congratulations to you and your wife on becoming grandparents! You've given me a ton of advice over the years. My advice in return is to never leave visiting the grandbaby until Grandma has had plenty of baby holding time and says it's ok. Lol learned that the hard way. Congratulations!!!!
Happy birthday 🎉
Happy birthday, and congratulations on your new grandson, Gary!!!!
Happy birthday 🎂 🎉
Can’t wait to watch the new “layout/changes” in your garden!
I am also changing a few designs in my raised beds to make the garden flow better for my brain.
And your garden looks amazing considering you weren't there to water it!
Happy Birthday 🎁🎊🎂 & congratulations 👦🍾 to the new addition to ur family!!!❤❤❤ 🪴 🧑🌾
I just moved a few garden beds around in my garden also… gotta make it easier for my back 😣
Congrats. I just planted tomatoes…let's see if I am able to get fruit before first frost. Zone 7B
Awesome news Gary. As a proud "Pa Pa" to my grandchildren let me say that it really "is the best":) Family and including family is what it is all about! I have followed you for at least ten of those fifteen years and let me say thank you for being my mentor and garden guru. I retired about the same time you did and we gardeners and outdoorsmen always have something to do. I am also and Archer and have enjoyed seeing your target in the background as mine is also next to my garden:) I had to Florida weave my tomatoes one year when they were little and helping me plant and got them to close together:) My garden here in East Texas only has Okra and Peppers hanging in there. The peppers have stopped producing due to heat but I know they will take back off when it cools down. Winter vegetables are under grow lights now. Whatever direction your garden takes next we will hang with you. And "Happy Birthday" my grandchildren are coming from "Austin Texas" this weekend to celebrate. Great name for a grandson:)
Happy birthday and congratulations on the grandson grampa Gary.
It's amazing how time flys by.
Enjoy the little bundle of joy.
Happy Birthday, Gary!! Lots of wonderful memories yet to be made!!! Garden looks just fine to me!! This is the time of year I struggle with preserving burn out!! But, come winter, all those canned jars and frozen bags of veggies sure are nice to have!!🤩
Congratulations & happy birthday!
Congratulations on becoming a grandfather. Hope you and your wife get to spend lots of time with the grand baby.
Happy Birthday! What a wonderful year for you! Mine was 2024 with my retirement and first grandchild being born in the same month. I can very much relate to the vison you and your wife have; I'm now turning a spare bedroom into a playroom. Have you thought of making baby food for Austin? I did when I visited, but wished I could do more. They are coming for Thanksgiving and it will be the first trip to my house for my granddaughter. I don't know how much of the garden will be left to show her, but I'm trying to grow as much of the Thanksgiving Dinner as possible. She's got some teeth now and will be almost 18 months, so I hope to feed her well. I love to cook and bake. I shed a few wistful tears when you talked about the pumpkin patch. I wish you and your family years of wonderful memories. ❤
Happy Birthday, hope you have a great day. Thank you for all your tips and tricks , from a fellow gardener in Va.
🥳Happy Birthday Gary!🥳 All that you have going on sounds like a wonderful, blessed, and joyous time! 🥰 A new grandson 👨🍼, a wedding🔔💍, and new plans for your garden🫑🍆. Enjoy! We all deserve this type of happiness 😊 and the way you keep mentioning your grand baby I just know he is going to be EXTRA LOVED!!! Blessings to you and your family! 💙🙏🏾🌱
Before you know it, your grandson will be a toddler out there 'helping' make potting mix. Mine LOVES helping me!
Congratulations all around! Irrigation is wonderful, makes life easier. 😊
Congratulations 😂🎉❤
Happy birthday Gary
Congrats on your grand baby blessings to your family
Happy birthday Gary!!! Hope it was a great day.
Fun fact: Grandkids who have no interest in veggies with their parents will eagerly sample sugar snap peas, carrots, purple broccoli, blueberries and more when out in the garden with a grandparent. You're in for some wonderful memories!
Congratulations on the grand baby
Congrats Grampie ! Wishing you and your family joy with the wedding and birth of your grandson! Ty for the videos / wisdom- Steve zone 6 b

Austin is a lucky kid.
