Welcome to Part I of the August Vegetable Garden tour of my Zone 6, Ohio garden.

I am growing in Zone 6a, mid-western Ohio, and focus on growing things I love to eat (vegetables, fruits & herbs), with flowers thrown in primarily for the pollinators & beneficial insects.
Today I share what is growing, being harvested and some pest & critter challenges happening in August at the first of my garden locations. Be sure to subscribe so that you don’t miss the August Vegetable Garden Part II– which will highlight my 2nd location!

    All I can say is a big WOW!! Had no idea you had such a big garden area. Inside and outside the garden fence. And also you never told us your thumb is so GREEN! Great drone shots too! This video is so good and the entire area is fantastic and beautiful! I'm going to watch again, and maybe even again and again! Great job! (Oh, and didn't see a weed growing either)

    I live in Northern Ohio and caught a Tomato worm on my Jalapeno plant this year. I have grown them for a few years and this is the first time I've seen one on them. I had no idea they attacked peppers too until now!

    YouTube recommended this video. I’m so glad I found your channel. I just subscribed and am looking forward to part 2. I’m in zone 10 but my garden is facing north and gets maximum 5-6 hours of sun. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge. I learned so much. Keep up the great work. I loved the garden map when you moved through your plot and the “You Are Here” really helped me to see how to plan my garden beds better with cover crops and companion plants for next season. Thank you!

    i love fresh okra! I, too, just eat it off the plant while in the garden….in NC…..so, yes, in the south. I've never coated it and fried it…..just a very light stir fry w olive oil. YUM.

    Very nice! Jealous of all those tomatoes! I've had some nice cherry tomatoes in the 4 hr part of the garden and a few early girl there as well. The sunnier part (8hrs) has that sweet 100 at about 8 ft and only now starting to ripen. Got first mini melon a week ago on August 12th. Seriously, try the Minnesota Midget Melon. 4 ft vines. 10 softball sized melons per plant and very quick times for short season growers like us. My only problem is that I lose a couple plants to rotting at the roots from rain in May and then I have a ton of very ripe fruit to give away in August. One year I harvested 30 melons in 3 days after only 75 days. Very sweet and delicious tho, so nobody refused them. Top comment was , "Adorable" . 🙂
