Looks good, so what’s your plan for selling the pumpkins? Isn’t it kinda late to plant?
Howdy Brock! Wow Steve does have a nice garden for sure! I started a garden a few years back, then between Covid and several family related issues I wasn't able to plant the last few years… hopefully next year the garden will be back in full force! My water is very hard and high in iron content… so I would really like to collect rain water for use in the garden. Never planted pumpkins so looking forward to seeing how that goes for ya. Thanks for sharing 🤠
I enjoy Steve in your videos. I hope that you will consider having him on more and do updates on his garden. Maybe monthly? Thanks again for another good video.
Brock do some looking into Landscape Fabric for gardens, I have been using it 4 seasons now and it works great! I roll it up in the fall and roll it back out when I'm ready to plant
It's all about the time invested. A really good garden requires a serious commitment. We've grown large gardens for years. I compare it to fishing. Both are relatively simple on the surface. Anyone can catch a few bluegills. However, learning to consistently catch large fish takes years and years of practice, learning and time. Keep your goals reasonable the first few years and spend lots of hands on time with your plants. You'll learn to understand the seasonal flows and how to anticipate the problems and get ahead of them. And, just like fishing, no matter how hard you work at it, sometimes you're going to get skunked. But, even the failures will teach you something that'll make you better next year. A bad day in the garden is still better than a great day at work.
Mulching could help with your weed suppression too.
Good luck with your new pumpkin patch, Brock!
I've had good luck using woven weed fabric in both my elderberry orchard and my vegetable garden. It really does a great job of keeping the weeds in check. In the orchard, I just put the fabric in rows where I planted the elderberry plants, not in the space between the rows. I sowed clover there to put nitrogen in the soil, and I mow it weekly like a lawn. In the vegetable garden, I put fabric everywhere and burned holes in it for planting. Quick and easy and all but eliminates weeding.
Take care and God Bless.
Good morning Brock. I hope that your garden and pumpkins do well. I personally am not a gardener. Growing up my Dad had a big garden and I remember spending hours picking greenbeans. To this day and I'm 73 years old I would starve to death before I'll eat a greenbean. My wife on the other hand puts in a small garden every year which I till up for her and the best way that we've found to keep the weeds down is to use Geo-tech. It's the fabric that they use to build roads. It'll let water go through and keep weeds from coming up. And we reuse it from one year to the next. We just turn it end to end. God bless and have a wonderful day. 😊👍👍
I’m looking forward to seeing how big your harvest turns out 👍

👍👍
I love raised bed strawberries about waste high easy to weed and pick holdd modture well
Brock you have the best rock garden that I know of lol! Awesome job!
One thing i did this year was take a soil sample to the county ag office and they tested it for me and told me exactly what my soil needed
"Don't mess with that man's garden!" ~Filthy McNasty
Nice setup he's got there. We've got a 40×100 ft greenhouse but its being used as just the frame for the past while. Seems every year we put money into putting some plastic over it, it doesn't last more than 1 or 2 years before hail and 40KMH winds completely destroy the plastic. Have yet to find a product that can take marble sized hail and once it gets broken the wind gets behind it, its all over the field. Remember.. the closer you put that garden to your back window the easier it will be to keep the pests out with a .22!
His garden is mind blowing lol I’ve also considered planting pumpkins for some extra income. Anyone reading this know the optimal time in Middle TN? Open to any suggestions or advise.
Think of gardening like marriage. You have to work at it every day. Once you start to neglect one another the marriage or garden falls apart.
Good luck to you! Gardens are a wonderful thing to have. Someday I'll have one again, but I have to finish laying out my property and complete all the trails and dirt work. Little by little I'm getting there. Very enjoyable video!
I never had enough room in my raised beds to plant pumpkins or watermelons. A pumpkin patch sounds very cool, I hope they do well for you!
Man Brock his garden is nice. I may try for a fall garden. I planted my potatoes in tires this year and they got ate buy ants. So I've got nothing this year
Steve has made the best of his 3 acres for sure.
Keep us updated, good luck
Hold my beer-
This video should be called how to build a giant freaking wall of firewood good job Steve
At 3:58, it sounds like you made sure to include "I'll be able to share with my neighbor"! 🤣 Your momma didn't raise no fool.
Another good video. Informative and hopefully encourages others to garden. Even if they don't have a green thumb.
Great gardening video. Good luck with the pumpkins and fall garden!!
