You speak of past gardens doing better in the ground….couldn’t you keep your white cover but burn holes in it to plant directly in the soil?
The water is getting too hot during the day. Only water AM or PM. No wet feet.
Same process every year: notice what does well, learn from failures! Each year brings a new challenge. Thankfully, no major pest problems here this time. Just battling plant loss from an early summer heat. Already 100° here in inland So. Cal.
Thank you so much 😊 for your updates – successes and fails or “opportunities to improve” which are helpful on what we may be experiencing or seeing with our plants. Take care everyone! 🤗🧡
i moved my green beans to part shade.. and they fluffed up…and started putting on beans again.. began flowering again.. might be a good experiment.. if you add a shade cloth over them to see if that makes them happier
you could just add cardboard to your pools to hold the water in the pools maybe?
Note to self…plant in the ground! I know I will have to do this in my zone 5a clay soil, but I will have to be vigilant about "building up " my soul. I cannot let myself rely on watering it either. I am learning so much from other's experience. Even strawberries in my greenstalk didn't have near the flavor of my inground berries. Gardening is a battle, buy your veggies while you are learning to garden! Thanks, for the video, we are all learning.
Live in South Texas. The heat and sun have burned up most of our garden. Sweet potatoes are doing awesome in raised beds.
The Texas heat has mostly messed my garden and orchard up. I am running out of water and will probably have to have some hauled in. I am in the hill country.
Tomatoes do not like their feet wet. Water them deep and then let them almost dry out. Also, last year I did part of my garden over a white tarp and it reflected so much heat onto my plants. I put all my containers on and surrounded them with mulch to help keep the soil cool and and moist.
Enjoyed the content and information of this video, very helpful stuff. I hope you don't mind but I'd like to make a small suggestion. When watching this video I got a horribly sick headache from the motion of your filming. I finally had to just listen. I'm not being critical, simply offering advice. Maybe in future garden videos move a little slower instead of trying to pan around so fast. Also it might be helpful to turn the camera around and show the item you're discussing instead of trying to be in the picture too. You did that when you showed the sweet potatoes and corn and that was much better but you still kept swinging around trying yo show everything at once. Again, please take this as a suggestion, not a criticism. I still listened to the video and enjoyed it, just couldn't watch it. Thanks for the container update. I love seeing other people's gardens.
Can you plant regular potatoes? Or do you need seed potatoes?
I love Salmon Faverolle. The hens are very sweet
This year I put woven ground cover in the ground. Put down a layer of spent straw about 2 inches thick then put down potatoes one per square foot then a thick layer of spent straw about a foot thick. Once the potatoes came up i put another 6 inches of straw and added a bag of bone meal and a bag of blood meal and a quarter bag of potash. My potatoes did great. So easy to harvest. Just push back the straw
Love this!!!! Thank you for sharing!
We planted a couple of buckets with potatoes just to give it a try. We also planted potatoes in the garden too since the buckets were an experiment. We harvested our potatoes yesterday and I'll definitely stick to planting them in the ground. The buckets grew beautiful potato plants with hardly any potatoes.
Im new to your channel ,
We are in Montgomery County, Texas
We have put Shade cloth – even cheap camping tents over some new succession plants , especially when I put our Sweet potatoe slips in for a few weeks they took great –
I move the tents around so the Sun doesnt burn up our hard work * my hard work , my husband helps alot , but 85% is my job ,
Its very therapeutic for me also .
God bless you

I have tomatoes in 4'x8' raised beds, an 18"×30ft raised bed, as well as several in 25 gallon grow beds sitting in cement mixing tubs for some water retention. I'm in a very hot dry climate.
The tomatoes in the raised beds are thriving, some are 8ft tall. The ones in the grow bags are smaller, less tomatoes, and 2 plants of striped romas have blossom end rot. I did pick off the damaged tomatoes and fertilized the plants. Both the raised beds and grow bags were filled with compost, vermiculite, sand and a little bit of peat moss. I've done both ways for years, and had similar results. I'm slowly switching over to just raised beds.
I’ve heard something about the 3 sisters method. Corn, beans, and squash together. Does anyone have any knowledge, or experience with this?
What fertiliser did you feed the tomatoes during the season? They look hungry
Just an idea you can take some of the potatoes to harvest out. Add a bit of compost to simulate hilling them up again, fertilize and see. A fun experiment.
Potatoes do not like heat….So plant early and water a bunch and make sure you have enough dirt and manure.
