What brand of mulch do you use?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻looking fabulous! My beans are looking as sad as yours. 10a 😭
Thank you for sharing this with us! I loved seeing the images of what it looked like a month ago, then compared to what it looks like today. That was very helpful and entertaining. You are amazing! Heart Eye Emojis from Oklahoma 🙂
when did you plant the onions and what spacing?
Your garden looks amazing! You're so right about plants improving after being put in the ground. My tomatoes and tomatillos were so leggy and sad looking cuz they were left in 3" pots for WAY too long. But once I got them in the ground they really took off. I'm also following your advice about feeding 1/2 strength every week (Neptune's Harvest, of course) and it's made a huge difference in the health and productivity of my plants. Still trying to figure out how I can grow citrus and avocado here in zone 7b without a greenhouse . . .
Beautiful!
Beautiful! Those onions wow!!
Question about transplanting growing veggies plants:
I am growing vegetable plants in containers. I was shopping online for 3-tiered shelves for the plants. I can't find tiered plant stands w/shelves wide enough for the containers (12"W). So, I was thinking of transplanting the plants to a self-watering grow box. I love the City Pickers box. I am growing container-size tomatoes and peppers. The tallest plant is 16'" and the rest are a lil shorter. Is it safe to transport them to the City Pickers box. It's cheaper to buy these grow boxes ($25/each)(on sale!) than to buy two 3-tiered plant stands. I only put 4 plants in each City Pickers grow boxes so they have ample space to grow. I have 8 veggie plants to transport. So $50 for two boxes, $34-$40 for moisture control potting mix.
I just adore sweet peas. The pretty colors and wonderful fragrance. Things are looking great!
It all looks 😍
Ok. Need a monster onion how to!! Oh my word. 😮
Thank you for the 'eye candy'!!! I'm growing the very common dwarf, thornless "Baby Cakes' blackberry bushes. (planted two years ago and producing well) Taste is good, but you need to grow a hedge of them to get enough and they do send out suckers. Hmm…bush beans – too much nitrogen, maybe? That was a problem I had last year. I think I over did it with feather meal by getting too much near a few bush bean plants when I was applying it to the corn next to them.
Y'know, a time-lapse video of your garden over the seasons would be amazing!
It's funny hearing your issues with carrots. I am in Wales, UK…known for loads of rain and humidity and yet carrots are a big challenge to germinate or to grow on to aa good size. I recon there are other things to look into.
Nah! Thorned blackberries are easy enough to work with. You just don't let a patch get thick to where stalks in the middle are hard to get to. You get them going more in a line, remove entire stalks after they have some age and do some trimming. Wear thick gloves, have loose pants on with good shoes.
Love your videos.
Wow just beautiful! You’ve done such an amazing job!
Once again, beautiful and informative tour. One thing blew my mind, though — those onions! Just wow.
💚
I just stick a sweet potato in the ground and it grows just fine.

Such a lush, de-stressing garden❤Absolutely breathtaking and inspiring ❤ Adore your garden tours ❤❤All your hard work and care has really paid off❤❤So proud of you and all you do! Enjoy it all❤❤❤
Wish I could give 100 👍- VERY VERY COOL garden tour. 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It’s funny to hear how you are JUST now looking at getting some 80 degree weather in S. California while we here in Michigan have had a good deal of hot weather so far this spring/early summer. My tomato plants are as big as yours .
The cooler weeks sure benefited your heavy duty landscaping efforts as the cap stones and cottage garden stairs look very nice .
I have had great luck with the carrot germination technique you showed a year or so ago (putting something solid over damp soil with the carrot seeds resting on the soil – I think you put a board down over them ) I am growing my carrots in pots on the deck and I use a melamine dinner plate that perfectly fits the top of my pot – it rests lightly on top of the soil keeping the seeds in contact with the damp soil . I peak under the plate every 4 days or so and after about 10 days enough are germinated so that I can take the plate off and scatter cedar shavings over the carrot tops to continue their growth. My first batch are about ready to pick (I stagger times setting different pots of seed every 3 weeks to keep myself in constant carrots).
I love those dark l leafed dahlias you showed at the end of the video – do pretty . I have about 2/3 of my dahlia tubers sprouted and potted – first time growing this year .
I know you had gopher issues last year and that you put hardware cloth in the bottom of your raised beds and around your trees' roots. Have you had any gopher problems in the cottage garden flower beds this year? Also, don't feel bad about your beans–mine here in SFBay 10a, both pole and bush beans, haven't been doing well either. I think it's been way too chilly. Will it ever get warm here this year?!
I planted 4 zucchini plants and a few yellow squash plants and I lost most of them to vine bore. What could I have done to prevent that? I've had trouble growing onions too. Your onions are amazing!
What type of onions did you plant? I have tried onion sets from tractor supply twice now and they don't bulb. I split the sets with a friend, and they grew theirs in different conditions, soil and fertilizer dufferent, and they didn't buld either. They are supposed to be short day onions but who knows. Zone 8b, Tehachapi mountains.
Love onions! Question is what made the really big onions grow so big? Or did I miss the explanation? Sorry short memory span!
I love watching this evolve! Do you have a video on how you made your stump garden edging? I live on a hill and wanted to do some areas like that. Thanks for all you share with us!
