Somethings to note that may have been cut out in editing.
1. Tomatoes & potatoes can get blight. There are three technical versions of this: Early, Late & Leaf Spot. This is over wintered in soil found in warmers climates. In cold climates out temperatures will kill the blight. If you suspect blight do not compost the potatoes tubers or foliage. As well as the tomatoes or foliage. Planting these crops together does not make the issue inherently worse. The infection itself if present anywhere in your environment (neighbours included) will cause a problem regardless of proximity.
2. Legumes – the reason why we place peas and beans (any legume) together comes down to rhizobium bacteria. We want heavy colonization of these bacterias in our rhizosphere (root zones) to aid in N fixation. Alliums are often associated with suppressing this colonization but there is no evidence to suggest this under gardening conditions. Under continuous cropping (agriculture) they may acidify the soil over years.
3. Squash – you can plant nearly anything beside these. The best choices are call plants like indeterminate tomatoes, sunflowers, corn. Avoid shorter plants like greens, radish, alliums & potatoes unless you trellis. Absolutely must avoid is other squash, pick one variety for the year and stick to that.
I’ll keep adding to this as we find missing pieces 😂.
Are you gonna show us how you actually planted your garden now that you got expert instruction?
Zone 9b
This was really helpful! It's great seeing you two talk about gardening. This year, I'm focusing more on plants that produce a lot of calories like squash, pumpkins, beets, and carrots. I have yet to try cushaw. They can get really big. For something sweet and fun, I have strawberries. Nasturtiums are pretty flowers too that can attract pollinators and act as a catch crop (for aphids and pests).
I loved the video and watching you two together. Very helpful for me here in the U.K. I’ve only been growing veg since 2021 so open to learn stuff. Because of you both I’m growing even more this year in tubs as well as on our allotment. Just need a greenhouse now!
Ok, "i never like to put potatoes in the same place"
Well, my potatoes have another idea.
Every year I dig what I think is all of them up – and next year, the bastards pop up in the same place, again!!!
I heavily compost the patch every year to ensure the soil quality is kept high.
“Simple” and “garden” don’t seem to fit in the same sentence. I can’t keep a single plant thriving. But I’m glad you give us smart and helpful content from people who can help!
Saving seeds would be a good one too
Thanks!
Was that a 10' x 10' plot? or what size was that??
Three Sisters is a good one to practice!
Bub…what zone are you at?
"The landlocked province of Saskatchewan is known for its rolling hills, countless lakes, sand dunes, and flat prairies. The region stretches across five different planting zones (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4), with most of the province sitting between 2a and 3b."
You get in those lower zones and your fruit trees are more limited. What kind of fruit trees even grow in zone 0 or 1? I can't imagine, that is some arctic cold right there.
Can you talk about the pros and cons and how to growing potatoes in a 10 lbs potato sack?
Excellent
A national and natural disaster will make Earth uninhabitable with lost atmosphere. As much as optimists hope to survive on Earth, it will be seriously impossible because the magnetic poles are meeting in the Indian Ocean, during the micronova, which will completely destroy the magnetosphere and atmosphere. Earth is already losing oxygen in the atmosphere, due to the weaker magnetic field and solar maximum. The big event of micronova is planned in 2033, when the blast will fully destroy the atmosphere. On top of this, Earth has a risk of explosion from volcanic activities. According to lucid dreams, Earth is a black planet without an atmosphere. There are 10 years until this blackout, but it is smarter to move to a new planet, instead of hoping to survive in the Stone Age without any electricity or technology. NATO and globalists travel from elevators in 10 minutes.
Gardening in zone 9a for two years. Great info, awesome tips. Thanks Nate.
I really enjoyed this video. I actually took screen shots so I could recall this information when I go to plant. Thank you.
I took pics of the correct garden planting to print out.
Marigolds would be good? Im asking because i have eczema and i want to make balms for my condition
Crops don't produce at 104f and most places should see that and beyond this year. Prepping is for sufferers. Peaceful exit plan is the only thing we can do to lessen our suffering when sthf.
Excellent information and presentation …..well done
Dang it. that's super hard work Lord!! 🙂
I shared this one with my wife. She loved it, and GardeninginCanada gained a subscriber! My wife is a tropical girl (from Central America; legal, we paid the parasites), and temperate / cool weather gardening is new to her.
TY CP and Ashley for addressing how the gardens have to change the following year as I don't think that's general / common knowledge. At the beginning of my gardening journey I assumed that if a plant did well in a certain spot last year, it'll appreciate the same spot -mostly not true. Rotation is key so your placement strategy is appreciated as well! Great stuff!
Ashley said something I am not sure people heard with the editting. For the long term, grow open pollinated plants that will breed true. Don't grow and buy new seeds each year. Get seeds from the best plans and find out how to store them. Those seeds are from plants that are "learning" your environment and will likely do better the next year and the year after. Those are the seeds you want if the SHTF.
She mentions growing just one type of squash (but mentions only winter squashes). If you plant more then they cross pollinate, so you get one generation of what you expect, but who knows the next generation. If you don't care if the Butternut pumpkin looks odd and tastes different from the squash, why not. I don't know about summer squashes or how the two types interact. A zucchini-spaghetti squash?
Peppers are also well known to cross pollinate so Nzte may get spicy bell peppers.
There is a lot on a lot of levels.
I love the diagrams here. Thx for taking the time to put this together.
Me & mine live in the Ozarks in Missouri.
We literally live under a canopy of trees.
And where there is basically one big splotch of full-time sun, is where we have 3, 14' x 20' and 1, 6 foot by 25 foot gardens,
fenced with 6 foot high wire fences.
We grow to sustain & supplement our kitchen / galley. EVERYONE should be doing this!
Grow food ~ feed you loved ones !
I really liked this video. Our growing season is June so this is timed just right. Good job!
More great information.
Thank you very much!
I really enjoy the shows about the gardening. Gives you great information on how to grow and plant your veggies.
Awesomely informative interview!!! Now this is prepper knowledge!!! Thank you so much!!! More like this would be appreciated; I am gardening for first time in my life.
I'm in Connecticut and this year is my first garden. I think this is great info! I needed a lesson on crop rotation. ❤❤
Minute 12:20 What did she mean when she said, "you only have so many years to garden". ????
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Others find out you have plenty of food, you won't have to worry about eating it. You're probably dead after trying to protect it.
I'd be interested in a weed mix and by that, I don't mean the drug or the type of seed mix you'd love to spread on your neighbor's lawn…
No, what I'm referring to is a collection of plants that grow without ANY help from your part and in even poor growing conditions (like pioneer plants, but also covering a range of sun hours and moisture levels). However, the challenge would be that these plants must serve another purpose other than ground cover that keeps more invasive and problematic weeds out. I'm thinking of edible plants, herbs that enhance the flavor or can be used as a home remedy; plants that attract pollinators and supply them throughout the year (unlike the monocultures that all blossom at once), and things such as nitrogen fixers…
