  1. I canโ€™t wait for this season. Thanks for the tips. Iโ€™m trying pole beans this year. I canโ€™t wait to see your new vegetable garden!

  2. I have rattlesnake pole beans growing on an A-frame trellis and on some corn in a three sisters bed. โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘

  3. If I could add one, LOL, it would be beets. Very productive and you can eat the beet greens sauteed for a very long time while the route is growing. Of course you have to make sure you leave some leaves on their, but I have found that when I thin my beet leaves they grow way more productively. I tried a new variety recently that was so good I couldn't even believe it.. they were albino beets, white with of course green tops. Sweetest beats I've ever tasted. And the leaves were wonderful for sauteing you can also parboil the leaves, dry well and then store in the freezer or can. Love your videos. I never miss one.

  4. Been planting pole beans on a homemade arch trellis made from cattle panels for years. Holy crap do they ever produce. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  5. Herbs would absolutely top my list. Oregano, rosemary, basil, marjoram, parsley, thyme, sage. All very prolific and herbs both fresh and dried cost a fortune in the store. They also top my list for return on investment. Many will grow in shade or partial shade…make great companion plants…deter pests…and can last for years in many locations.

  6. Malabar spinach is beautiful, but my climate isn't warm enough, it doesn't really take off until late August.

  7. One morning I'll see a zucchini the size of my thumb, "oh, how cute". The next day I'll go out and its almost perfect size, "I need to pick that tomorrow". The 3rd day i go out to the garden and it's the size of my lower leg. Slight exaggeration, but close to reality.

  8. Great info Brian! Im really liking these informative springtime videos! Question. Where do you store your sweet potatoes so they last until May? In a refrigerator? Im pretty sure you don't have a basement or fruit cellar.

  9. Year because last zucchini was almost the only thing that did grow were for me. Iโ€™ve found my plants almost always start out with only female flowers. But if you pick those unpollinated flowers the second day the fruit hasnโ€™t rotted yet and you have tasty fancy baby zucchini to eat.

  10. Malabar spinach is a beautiful plant! The flowers and berries are so cool, I love how it looks growing over a trellis shading my pumpkin plants. Gorgeous! This year I want to try dying fabric with the berries, cause those things are dark and juicy. No, I donโ€™t much care for eating it. But is a beautiful plant, dark glossy leaves, pink bunches of flowers followed by juicy purple black berries. No idea if the berries are worth eating. Brian, do you eat the berries?
