Enjoyed the garden tour. From Kettle Falls Wa.
I love your garden. Lots of inspiration. What are you using for the hoops over the beds? Metal conduit?
Hi Susan. Can you ask bill why both my pepper plants and tomatillos are dropping their blossoms after flowering and not setting fruit? I’m regular with my watering, plenty of bone meal in the soil, can’t think of why this is happening. I’ve got very healthy soil and chopped hay mulch. I thought it may be a pollination problem but now I can rule that out as I have 600 leaf cutter bees. Would love your thoughts. My tomatillos are 5 ft tall, looking amazing but no set fruit.
Hi Susan,
I’m here in the Okanagan of BC and we are having extreme heat. 41degrees today. During the day some of my tomatoes and peppers look stressed but rebound at night. Any tips for extreme heat? Any tips would be welcome. I’m watering twice a day, is that to much?
New potatoes, green beans and ham. Mmmmmmmm I make it as a complete meal.
NO GREEN LEAVES LEFT
THE ONLY GREEN IS THE TOMATOES
I HAVE A TOMATOE PLANT BLACK CHERRY AND IT HAS TOMATOES ON IT BUT THE LEAVES ARE DRIED OUT SO I CUT THE LEAVES OFF IT WILL IT SURVIVE
I love the trellis idea for the beans. I bought some cattle panel this year and planted my beans. I just finished watching an older video you did on pole beans and notice you planted the beans inside the trellis. I should have watched that first. I planted mine on the outside of the trellis thinking that would make it easier for the beans to fall through the holes for picking. How do get the beans to cling to the trellis from the inside instead of just falling towards the path? Do you have to tie them? Mine are starting to grab onto the holes, but as I mentioned I planted them on the outside. Should be an interesting year. Thanks for your videos. They're very informative.
Thanks Susan, your garden looks great. I am in zone 6b, about when would you recommend a spring planting of broccoli? I grew some last spring, they slowly grew all summer and then finally produced in the late summer/early fall. We also had the extreme heat here too, it seems to be over at least for a while so things seem to be recovering! I am growing Chef's Choice orange this year too, hope mine turn out as well as yours. I know what you mean about the sneezes, the heat seems to have made the pollen worse and here in the West also getting some wildfire smoke in the air. Enjoy that beautiful artichoke!
BLESS YOU!!!!
Susan, what date did you plant your green beans?
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour today Susan. Congratulations on the overwintered artichoke! I’m trying Tavor artichoke for the first time in my garden, based on your recommendation. It’s coming along, but quite a bit behind! I hope it catches up in time to produce some edible fruit before the cold comes! Rockford MI
Your garden looks so nice! I also have hip high corn so far it’s doing great! I’m really worried about the coming heat, I don’t see how any plant can handle triple digits! Especially if it gets to 120! What are you going to do to protect your plants?
Wow I'm learning new things
Thank's for the ride. Have a good day…
