Hi fellow high desert dwellers - I’m wondering how you’re doing this without shade cloth? It’s the only thing that got things growing for me. Does you yard get shade??

Great video...I grow everything in containers. I have no room for ground-gardening...I will plant greens for the fall/winter season, like peas, beets, cabbage, carrots, onions, garlic, and plant more potatoes. Because of the extreme heat, my bell peppers start slowly to get fruits. Tomatoes are blooming, but we will see if I get any fruits. So we will see how it goes

Hi I am new to your channel, i like what i see so far. Next time mix some cinnamon in your dirt or soil it help plants to grow many blessings family ❤❤❤❤

Tiny house. FYI. Motorcycle dealers (especially imports) have cardboard and wood containers that their motorcycles are shipped in. Cardboard very good and wood too (I have a local BMW motorcycle dealer with these with wood I have used in my garden).

Btw. If you want to do air layering, the best tool IMO is The Rooter Pot. Invented years ago by a guy from Spain. Google it and you can find them. I have used them to root trees (placed on branches). I am going to use them next year to get some more plants from my fig tree/bush.

Cool idea. I have used pantyhose before. It works too. The pantyhose expands as the fruit/vegetable grows. Helps keep bugs off squash better too.

My people. Thanks for the info. Really appreciate it. Please please invest in a gimbal. You made me dizzy and seasick.

Got arber for 2 last year

We had alaska fertilizer for 11 the bigger one

Thought I was the only one who called Walmart Wallyworld

Good video, my garden has finally started to come to life since its wet season again in south florida

Pretty much same here

Nice design plans 🌱 TFS your garden tour!

Certainly possible you had contamination from chemicals. But could also be a problem with nitrogen. Leaves when they break down, rob the soil of nitrogen. And growing plants suffer as a result if extra nitrogen is not added. Strawberries are particularly bad about absorbing nitrogen from the soil. So the leaves probably robbed your strawberries and the pepper of needed nitrogen. As a test, plant some hairy vetch in some of the containers you planted strawberries that died. Let it grow over the winter. Hairy vetch fixes nitrogen in the soil. (add in the green vegetation of the hairy vetch for even more nitrogen). Then next year, in those pots, get some more strawberry plants and see if they will grow. Mulch some with leaves and some not if you wish. And see how they all grow. I think you will find the strawberries will survive ok. Nitrogen is SUCH a pain to keep in the soil. It leaches out with watering at times. Natural sources like vetch (or other legumes like rye, etc) are best. If you prefer organic methods.

Yes, to overwinter herbs. Especially the camomile, it does amazing by spring, love it.

Facts Fam, I'm currently amending my beds and pots for collards and cabbages mostly.

Hi guys, I'm only growing a few things this season. Kale, Collards, beets, arugula, & onions, the green ones. I'm gonna grow in my in large containers only this year. Happy Gardening to you all!😊🌱🥬🌿💚

This is good advise for people who go pick up free manure compost too. You never know what is in it.

How nice.😊I love seeing children working & harvesting from the garden.😍🥭🎃🌱 And that was nice harvest.👍🏽

Be observant. Biggest things I've learned is to trust your instincts (in life in general)and LISTEN to your plants. They're living and doing things far beyond our comprehension.... they're way more intelligent in many ways. I do like hand watering because I like to pay close attention to my plants and I like the view/ambiance (humming birds always come buzzing around when I come out). I'm not really a hippie, but I have a high understanding of living things.... we ain't that special(humans), we just understand each other(getting better with translators). No matter what advice we can give each other, understand that the heat/light source/soil content/whatever are a bit different for each of us, so it really does take a lot of experimenting. I don't grow for high yield since I'm only really trying to feed myself and those things harm the plants by forcing them to stress grow fruit in hopes they can provide seeds to keep their life cycles going. I plant most seeds that I don't end up eating back into the ground... my way of helping them out more. I leave it up to them. Sometimes I get plants growing randomly and it's all welcome. Flowers. I planted wildflowers around my baby mango tree that was dying since I wasn't living here for a few years and nobody payed any attention to it. BEST thing I could have done. Pollinator attracting and the flowers themselves are pest repellents... and they provide shade for the soil and homes for the jumping spiders/mantis that also help keep things from getting too crazy. I let them grow as their namesake... and it's always a beautiful oasis in my barren backyard. When one group dies off for a season, the next group starts growing, and since I keep it natural, the seeds just keep doing their thing... infinite flowers, and the mango tree that was a little dying 3 foot tall thing is now about 7-8 feet tall, starting to grow mid-sized mangos, thriving within 9 months or so, after being the same size for years due to neglect... it survived through some harsh times somehow. Natural protectors. I've learned to love wasps... they may not pollinate as much as bees, but bees ain't killing the harmful bugs in your garden like they are. Lady bugs, mantises, spiders(mainly the hunter variety, as they actively seek out plant eating flies as such). I love these guys! And there's a reason grasshoppers/locusts are Biblical doom-bringers... this is why you want the birds a plenty. Grow/have anything you can that attracts more of all of these. Flowers are super important for that alone... and they're pretty and smells nice, all the good thing! Simplicity. I try to have as simple as a diet as I can while getting the most nutrients, and mostly am trying to figure out what I can plant in my area that is just easy. Beans! Out of a bag, grocery store beans... they want to grow so bad, toss them anywhere and they'll be off. I actually plant beans all around that I have no plan on eating, because they fix the nitrogen in soil, are amazing to plant around tomatoes as they act as a big brother until they naturally start to die out when it's too hot, but by then the tomatoes are strong enough. Potatoes... super easy, and the healthier sweet potatoes are even easier. Garlic... super healthy! I put it in most things, and also, like potatoes, we all know they will start to grow whether you want them to or not if you leave them around near some sun too long. Garlic takes a really long time, but can stay in the ground for a long time(and they keep growing), so you can sorta pick then as needed... which means you should really just plant them in between and all over your garden. They need about 6 inches of space, but that's it... let em grow. When their greens are big,(they're also delicious) they provide good shade for plants as well. Weeds! The most nutrient dense plants around. We've all been brainwashed into killing weeds, while maintaining super invasive weeds that provide little nutrients (grass). This may require each to do their own research and some alchemy, but you can create all your own medicines with these little suckers, and they provide some of the best mulch/compost. I always throw some weeds in when planting anything new along with some compost. Shade. As you said... it's a must if you live in a hot area. If you're feeling it, the plants feeling it more, since they live outside. I'm a bit too poor to get any netting and such right now, so I keep my plants as of now near walls or behind established plants. I have one 'Jupiter' jalapeno plant... I only call it that because it kind of protects all the peppers behind it, while getting lots of burned peppers and whatnot. I still eat em, or use for compost. It's a bit of a hero plant, one of the first I planted. Composting. I am starting to just plant directly into compost. I compost in holes, and it's working very well. Just food scraps/egg shells/weeds/leaves from my orange tree/fruit that either gets eaten into or isn't fit to eat, banana peels are a huge help for potassium and magnesium(break down fast), and again... BEANS. They keep the compost from drying out and provide lots of great leaves for composting as well. The grubs do all the work. I tend not to use things like paper or cardboard in this kind of compost because if the bugs have a choice... they leave that stuff and it takes forever to break down. It's not a bad thing though, since it'll be there for later since I plant in the holes... I may start adding some as I'm constantly experimenting myself, and there's tons of boxes around here still. I'm gonna start adding wood scraps when I plant things as well, because they take a long time to breakdown, but they hold water very well... seems like a no-brainer that for some reason I haven't tried yet. It's good for topsoil, it should be good for root health as well, which is actually more important. I love your channel... it's about sharing the process of real living gardening, which is truly what we should all be doing.

This season was weird. Hopefully next season

❤

Hey, Cory. The heat got us too. We ended up letting most of the garden go because of it.

Well y'all already know I deal with the heat down here too, 10A Florida. My humidity changes the game a bit and makes it tricky to judge the watering because different plants absorb water at different rates. I must've lost half the garden trying to keep up with hand watering daily. I definitely learned how to deal with potatoes this year watching you put them into containers. I've started prepping my beds (Ammendments) a week in advance now so they have time to break down and be readily available when I transplant into it. Watching you guys always gives me that "oh yeahhh" moment and off to the garden I go, lol.😊

Thanks for sharing your experiences 🙂

This is my third year growing. I'm trying to make notes on what I learned, what worked, and what didn't. I shared one of your learning experiences. Irrigation. I watered my fruit trees and fig trees a lot more and got more fruit. I have heat like yours, we got up to 119° and I thought I was watering very well but now I see that it took even more than I realized. Another thing I learned was to let go of some garden areas. I hand water everything, up to 4 hrs a day when it's super hot. I work too, so I was getting major burnout. I decided I had to analyze how much labor an item was taking and was it worth it for the return. This led me to empty 3 garden beds and the relief of not having to water that was joyful!! I still have plenty. I'm trying out a lot of flowers and am specifically looking for ones that can handle a quick splash of water and also survive our heat. Yarrow and Verbena bonariensis are excellent survivors. Happy gardening y'all. This was a great video!

I’m in North Yorkshire, England. Pretty much the opposite environment to the high desert. Summers been odd this year over here, weeks of rain, a bit of Sun then back to rain again. My sweetcorn’s hardly grown. Great video 👍🏻

Thank you, this is good advice.

Looking good Fam! Im down here drenched

Nice video.

Love the melon patch. TFS.

"His and Herbs" LOL, that's clever!

I'm growing cantaloupe, honeydew, and potatoes in containers.

I have super squirrels because they know how to avoid those traps. I have to use deadly traps otherwise they eat and destroy everything. Just yesterday, my apple tree got completely wrecked. They broke all the branches, topped it, and took every single apple! They somthing else over on my side 😬

You're on it! Make that living soil!

Oh dear

I'm glad you figured out the critter problem 🙂in the garden.

No tomatoes for me this year ... I'm thinking of growing them indoors...the sun and a 108 degrees is too much for them, even under the shade cloth...😒😒😒

You 2 are awesome, you make it so simple and cut out all the confusion. Thanks so much, James and family in michigan.

A canteloupe started growing after I uncovered a planter that I was tossing kitchen scraps in. It is growing vigorously.

I grow things as naturally as possible, not trying to 'get as much fruit as possible' (which hurts the plants, forcing them to do things out of stress); growing in full sun is tricky... they do need some sort of shade, so I usually grow by a wall, but I might get some sort of mesh to help my plants that are further from the wall. I have cats and the neighborhood is kind of a cat hood, so there's no threat of rodents. I've only had one tomato so far get eaten a bit, which was probably a bird or potato bug trying to get some water... which I'm fine with, I plan on growing enough to share with the bugs/birds as well. Love your channel... keep it honest, keep on trial and error growing, because we all have different soil/sun conditions, and we gotta work with the plants.

I didn't prune mine either and the ones on the ground got eaten by rodents. I believe pruning tomatoes cause diseases

another process is using cording, and placing the cord, like cotton, into the soil, and it draws the moisture through the cord as needed, this works for the plants that need a moist setting, but not requiring a 'watering'. same process, though the cord will draw moisture even in lower placing, unlike the drip set up. This can also be used with bottles, as well as a buckets, for smaller jobs.

Really enjoyed your energy and style, 🥰

you can rocks or some weight to prevent it from blowing over also, which water will flow through so it is not wasted

That was a great harvest!! But K was pruning the heck out that pepper plant 😂. Yep that's sunscald on the pepper. With it being so hot there and dry heat. I'd recommend only direct sun till 10am.

Great harvest; they only get better!

Growing my first cantaloupes. Idc how big they get, just that they taste good.

So appreciate you showing this as I was trying to figure out a gravity feed system myself. It's not expensive and I will be looking for updates as you go along.
