Fantastic as always! Thank you for these excellent tips. I’ll let you know how they do. Question: We are leaving our huge home to live in an RV for a few months and build a new home in the country. Planning on bringing my garden with me and putting it all around the RV to make it beautiful. How do I keep animals from eating it all up?
Thank you so much
Good kim is it little too late to start peppers seeds because I want to grow habanero peppers 🌶🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
Can you tell me what soil to buy and I’m going to try this weekend to pick up all my supplies to start.
Great timing on the video. I think I’ll try planting more beans, cucumbers, basil and maybe a sunflower.
But I lol have to defend against the deer and squirrels. 😊
Does the scallop squash spread? I have never grown squash because of how wide the vines grows, so maybe this variety won’t spread as much. 🤷🏽♀️
Today and yeaterday it was 102F in the shade here in Sylauga AL. Living out in the country, it is always about five degrees hotter in the summer, and five deegrees colder in the winter than in the city where the temperature is recorded. All my plants are mulched, and I've had to switch to daily watering, some plants twice a day to keep my garden going. In July, I start transitioning to a fall garden. In a week, I'll plant fall potatoes, and on July 15th, I'll do seed starts for cabbage, and sow carrot and turnip seeds. In Auguast, I'll sow seed starts for cauliflower and broccoli. Then it is time for the ground cherries, summer squash, and carrots to come out. In September, I'll sow seeds for Yellow Heart Winter Choy and Boc Choy, and in October—garlic. I don't have my fall garden completely planned out, so there may be other plantings. My chicken run has arrived, so tomorrow and Friday I will be assembling it. It won't be long before the little chicks are moved out to their new home. The puma has returned; we lost another cat, Sneaky Pete, last night.
Southwest Idaho here. Still planting for some late summer.
Thank you Kim for the tips. I'm going to try the bush bean's I bout from you. Hopefully they will grow this time.
Don't know why I even bother planting a garden up in the mountains behind San Diego. I have "HERDS" of gophers in my yard. I planted 9 tomato plants and 22 pepper plants. The tomatoes are quarter size and the gophers have taken out 3 plants already. They took out 2 pepper plants. They will all be gone before I get one ripe tomato or pepper. Just buy them from the store and appreciate the work the farmers do to get it to you.
Your vegetable garden is clean and beautiful, it looks very nice
I’m trying to start up my garden but having a hard time. It’s been hard doing anything after I was hit by a drink driver. I can barely walk.. but nothing will stop me from being a gardener. Love your channel.
Drawrf tomatoes. That's one tomato I have never tried, although I guess I should.

Have you tried the orange hat tomato? One of my favorites. I had great success with cucumbers this year thank goodness. I planted 8 varieties. I also like the lemon and boston pickling as my favorites. I will plant beans tomorrow. Good video 👏
