Harvesting veggies, flowers, and herbs! Each year I’m still surprised how much I can get from my deck gardens. I’d say this size harvest is pretty typical from July through early September and it makes me so happy.

As much as I love buying seeds, it’s way more fun to share seeds!
This is my first growing season and I grew an Apache pepper plant for funsies. It's been thriving and now it's chock-full of fruit and I'm like, "Well, now what?" I harvested a handful of red Apache peppers the other day and my man popped one of them into his mouth, cuz dudes. Instantly, he was like, "Oh God!".
I’m impressed! When I harvest my mints, I have to put a label next to the bunch. I cannot always tell by smell which is which!😂. I love that wooden harvest basket!
Love your deck jungle!! Beautiful harvest… though mosquitos 🦟 would have eaten me alive in shorts😂
I had a container raspberry plant this year. It produced fruit but the flavor was not good. I am not going to keep it. Love you videos.
i got champagne holly hock also nothing yet.. i think they dont have enough sun 🙁 but im zone 5b montreal… im hopeful because its an annual for us
I would get a dwarf raspberry bush. Im still kinda obsessed with dwarf plants, especially my hydrangeas. Your hollyhock looks incredible. My name is Holly and I can't grow bc they get horrible rust 😢. It looks silly when there's more rust than flowers
My cucumbers have powdery mildew also. They have produced quite well but I think they're about done for the season. It's absolutely amazing what you've done with container gardening!
How proud you must feel! My garden fills my heart with joy also!
Love it !!! 😜
This give me hope as I, a first time gardener will have some sort of harvest
You should definitely get a thornless black/raspberry bush!
New sub!!! What are your plans for the garden for the month of August??? Do you still plant for this month? Do you plant for next year this year? How do you prepare for fall and winter??? 🤔🤔🤔
I'd say ditch the raspberries. There are too many flowers you love that probably could take priority.
Awesome work
It was very satisfying watching you harvest your herbs. I’m growing some herbs for the first time this year. This gives me courage to harvest my own. I’ve been hesitant in fear I’ll cut back too much. Now I’ll have an idea of how much is ok to cut back.
Máte úplně nádhernou zahradu i se zeleninou. Super rajčátka. Papriky si prostříhejte, máte tam moc listů a málo světla. Zdravím z Česka.
