🌱 This channel is for anyone who has always wanted a garden and just needs someone to make it feel simple enough to start. You don’t need a big yard. You don’t need a lot of time. You don’t need a perfect setup. You just need a garden that fits your actual life.

I’ve been growing food for over 20 years — through container gardens, 28 raised beds on 3.5 acres, burnout, a life rebuild, and starting over completely. What I have now is small, intentional, and the most joy I’ve ever had in a garden.

I’m Cortney — a Clemson Master Gardener and homeschooling mom of three in Upstate South Carolina. And I can’t wait to help you get started.

    In colder climates, early June is the regular time to transplant tomato and pepper seedlings out in the garden. Any earlier, it’s just too cold for them to thrive/survive the transplanting. The pepper seedlings we bought in late April suffered as we got them climatized to the sunlight. I put 3 out of 4 in various spots in the ground and none of them have taken off, it’s just too cold.

    I don't even plant cherry tomatoes anymore – there are always several that sprout from the prior season's drops and they go wild.

    I'm sorry I can't agree with your comment on bush beans. Bush beans like pole beans are harvested through the whole season not just once.

    Id love to get rid of the pill bugs in my garden. The continuous rain in the northeast has been brutal 😢

    zone 6 here. I always grow Roma II bush beans. Every year I trial a second bush bean type and a pole bean. Nothing has enticed me to save seeds except the Roma II. Great dilly beans and great freezer beans. This year I'm trying "dragons tongue bush" and "rattlesnake pole beans" as my next trial. thanks for your content.
