Evening JIll I presume your are in Blighty as I am in Portugal and you don't plant anything here n July or August or it will die in the hot sun you need to wait while Sep, then start planting for winter harvest. As I have learned to my cost since arriving you plant first crop 6 weeks before Blighty and a second crop in Sep so can harvest Christmas on.

good info.

Ty I learned a lot

We've had some great luck with carrots in the late summer/fall. You can also keep them in the ground up until the first hard freeze, or longer if you cover them real good with some leaves or something.

I was wondering what you do with your levees salad, or chicken food. Beet levees,and carrot levees (but you have to peel the stem off) are great in a salad. Hope you got rain its been on all sides of me but missed me. Typical Arkansas weather.

You are right about leaves. They are wrappers around bulb. Green leaves are wrappers still intact around bulb underground. Brown or dead leaves are wrappers that already disintegrated. Don't care about brown leaves. Green leaves are indicators.

When would be the last call for corn in central Massachusetts, zone 5b?

I LOVE pickled beets!! I grow them every year & use my nana’s pickling recipe. If you have some brine left over (or when you finish a jar) boil up some eggs & make beet-pickled eggs!! Sooo yum!! I’m definitely going to try your ranch dressing!! I often see people using ranch mix on American channels, but I’ve never seen the mix available in Australia (maybe I’m just not looking hard enough!! Lol!!) but that recipe from scratch looks delicious!! Thank you!!

❤❤❤ Trying a project with different potato’s & sweet potatoes All in buckets grow bags Potts & makeshift grow bags So excited ❤

Not like there isnt already hundreds of sites like this

Informative and nicely done! Subscribed.

I *thoroughly* enjoyed this video!

I really enjoyed this video!! More like this please!

💗💗💗

Wouldn't an absorbent-type rock like lavarock or broken up terracotta a better choice, because when the water level goes down even an inch then how will the water be absorbed through the cloth?

Do you use the beet greens? They are edible and nutritious

You do inspire me. I haven’t even planted beets yet but I also love them in salads so will be doing that next season. I have never canned but want to try that too.

The large ones that started to separate because in ground too long you can use it first or for my area I replant just before first frost for following years harvest and you try again…

I pulled one today that had a mini bulb on the stem about 8 inches up from the bulb. What causes this?

Your comment about freezing celery is well taken. My home-grown celery never gets enough irrigation. The stalks are tough and stringy so I just chop it and freeze it in bags. The bags are always too big for my use and I get a lot of freezer burn. Fortunately I use celery more as a condiment for flavouring than as an ingredient so I haven't had to buy celery in years. I dehydrate the leaves. They have a fantastic aroma any time the jar is opened. Dried leaves can last for well over one year and are far easier to use - much like your dried dill and onion powder.

Thank you so much! I’ve never heard of them.

Thanks,Jill for taking the time to do this kind of video.Enjoyed it.

Way to go Jill! Beets are so nutritious. You are so talented. 🎉

Girl, I know the labor of love that went into these!!! Whew!!❤

where are your harvest baskets with the holes from. I love them!

Love your canning setup

Does charcoal make a good mulch?

Good news about dandelion. I have a lot of dandelion and milk thistle here, and sometimes stinging nettle, which is actually good because they have medicinal properties. Sometimes people have a whole pharmacy around them and they don't even know it. Interesting take about tilting.

What a great harvest! Your beets look wonderful. I have tried beets many times, and just can't like them. Yours look tempting.

i don't like beets that much but love the beet greens,steamed,with olive oil and lemon juice. ❤

Great podcast and easy to follow and understand. I have a metal raised bed, a fabric raised bed, and a bed that is built from the ground up with branches and a compost/soil mixture. There are no actual in-ground beds. My question is: what crops are better grown using ground beds instead of raised beds?

So where is the follow-up revealing the results of this test?

Love your comment about not expecting crops to look 100% perfect! As a beginner gardener, I was aiming for flawless plants like those you see online or in supermarkets. But I’ve come to understand that it’s practically impossible for an organic garden to look like that. Showing real gardens with funky leaves and pests will help a lot in managing expectations, I'd love to see a video from you of something similar.

How do you keep the broccoli from being eaten by inch worms?

From everything I’ve heard you actually want clear plastic, not black. If it’s properly done the heat from the sun’s rays gets intensified with clear and it gets hotter than with black. I’ve heard of university studies being done on this. Makes sense.

My husband and I have grown garlic for two years. The first year some of the bulbs were large, so those were the ones that we purchased and did for the second year, but they’re small and all my above ground are mostly brown. What am I doing wrong. I really wanted to have a nice size bowl. We put them in probably before November last year, we’re pulling them out and they’re so small we???

How are you tacking that netting to the ground?

Great information to get me started with my own raised beds. 😊

Great presentation Jill. With the exception of Bermuda Grass, I LOVE weeds & don't understand people calling them weeds - they are wildflowers. They not only give me free mulch, compost & chop n drop, I eat a lot of them, such as mallow, wild mustard, purslane, dandelions, & filaree. They also provide food for birds, which in turn, helps control pests & they also bring in pollinators. To me the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages as long as I don't let them takeover. I actually grow them in pots, which I place all around my crop plants & when they start to go to seed, I move them far enough away, so the birds can eat the seeds.

My snaking around cucumber is growing because of this amazing video. Thank you! Well said.

🎉🎉🎉

Good topic and I think you provided a lot of good info you were point on I have been gardening for quite a while and every year is a new learning opportunity in my last few seasons I’ve started using raised beds and containers it’s so much easier for me in my later years even though I have a few crops we still do our in ground gardens we’re making that transition thanks for tips and info, God Bless

Unbelievable how much you find to write about and how dependable you are thanks

Hello new ro gardening. I like you video. My question is do you cover your raised bed garden until you get ready to plant?

Excellent, thank you. 🧅😊

it would be even better if the extra water goes to another bed to minimize wasting water.

Thank you!!! Worked beautifully.

Thank you so much for this video. I have been searching for such an idea for my newly built garden raised beds, and this video has given me great ideas to start filling them with much confidence. Thanks again.

What should we succession sow after garlic?

What do you use to soak your garlic before you plant it?
