Excellent content as always! I am a new subscriber and don't often comment on videos, but wanted to let you know I appreciate your gardening knowledge and down to earth personality. Please continue to share more content! May GOD bless you!
Thank you so much! Welcome to my channel!
Praying for sponsorships! Hey you have not when you ask not!!!
Amen!
Praying in agreement with you
A Gardener's Journey Homestead, You're the best! I just had to subscribe!
Aww thank you! Welcome! Where do you live?
Excellent idea Barbara on the raised garden beds in your outside space. Check with Vego or Epic Gardener to see if they will sponsor you. I wish you the best on your idea.
Thanks!
Thank you for the tip. I have a small garden and learned to continuously fight weeds and keep every inch of my garden filled with food growing. But its still a struggle. i like you and enjoy watching and listening to you. Keep it going. Oh and I learn something important every single year. Suz
I love pulling weeds!!! Wish I was close I would help!!! Your garden looks great.
You do? I hate it! And yes I wish you were my neighbor lol
Thank you for sharing your space with us! My garden is doing well except for 2 beds that seem to be struggling so I think it's a soil issue which can be corrected since I only have small backyard raised beds. But they won't grow anything so once I fix the soil, maybe I can get a fall harvest over there. anyway, I picked my first tomatoes this year and for the first time since 2020(also my first year gardening), they are big ones and not cherry tomatoes! And I also planted tomatillo plants this year. first time. So I'm learning and growing with you sis! Happy gardening!
Since I'm 75 years old it's hard for me to get down on the ground to garden so my grandson said he would build me some raised beds. I love them! They are all 4 foot by 4 foot by 3 feet deep and he built them for free, well, just about. Where I live businesses beg you to haul off their wooden pallets. My grandson went out and got 5 pallets and made me 5 raised beds. All I had to do is buy the weed block for the bottom and the nails to put them together. He even built me a little sitting place on the corners so I can rest when I need to. I know you are thinking about how much dirt I must have bought but I didn't have to. He took the soil from the old garden beds and used that plus some old logs from fallen trees that had blown down. They will help to hold water that will have the plants putting out deeper roots. I know they aren't the prettiest raise beds out there but they will serve me well and provide me with the means to keep gardening. Would it surprise you to hear that that grandson of mine is a true granny's boy?
Best of luck with those onions. You've got your work cut out for you there. Oh, one last thing. If you want to get rid of those bug find you some Wormwood plants. They grow wild about everywhere in the US. I found my first growing along side a ditch. But please do not plant them in the garden....they spread real easy. If you plant them around the outside of your garden about 10 feet away, when they get about 3 years growth on them they will be like a fence. Even though we think the Wormwood smell so nice and earthy animals and bugs do not. A deer won't even walk through it to get to a berry bush. Once it starts really growing you take cuttings off it which makes it grow even more and you hang the cuttings in your tomatoes, scatter the cuttings around your squash and cucumbers, hang them in your beans. You won't have any problem with bugs. If you google Wormwood you will see it says, "Wormwood deters insect pests such as ants, cabbage loopers, cabbage maggots, carrot flies, codling moths, flea beetles, and whiteflies. Wormwood is also deer and rabbit resistant and repels mice. Deadhead flowers to prevent any undesired self-seeding." You can plant Wormwood in pots and set them around your garden, just don't let them go to seed. If you go to a garden center they may have some Wormwood that you can look at and smell so you will know it when you see it. If you find you have a problem with silverfish in a closet or even spiders then scatter some cutting about and that's the end of that problem.
God bless,
Jenny
Thanks so much for the tip and that is awesome on your raised beds! You have a great grandson🙂
I love your channel.
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
This is how my corn always looks. Everything looks so good. Praying for the sponsorship.
Thank you!
Love your beautiful healthy garden, especially how you companion plant with gorgeous flowers and other veggies ❤❤❤Love your channel❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate you being here.
Hi Barbara, when the husks turn yellow and you can see the tomatillo on the inside sticking out, they’re ready to harvest.😊 You’ll love them!!
OK good to know-thanks! What else do you do with them besides salsa verde?
Hi Mrs. Barbara. I grew corn the first time last year. That short corn may be a need for higher nitrogen, but the plants with leaves and no corn have no male pollen pods at the top, so they’ve not been self pollinated. Hopefully, I’m not insulting your intelligence, but I’m new to corn so wanted to share.
Thank you so much! I appreciate all the tips!
Beautiful garden Barbara,thanks for sharing! 😊❤
Thanks Gwen!
Hi Barbara~! I just stumbled upon your channel and I absolutely love it, you and your garden~! I’ve only decided this year to really get into gardening so I decided to start with medicinals…all from seed~! Thank you for sharing❤
Oh that is a great place to start and hope they do well! Thanks for stopping by my channel!
Thanks for the share Barbara. Your garden looks amazing. We are in the triple digits now so I really have to keep a watchful eye on my garden. Praying and fingers crossed for a successful growing season🙏🏾😊
Thank you and wow that is hot!
corn is doing good girl,tassel on top !!
Hi Barbara, If I may suggest using 20 to 30 gallons grow bags for growing your potatoes, garlic and onions. Then, when you go to harvest it will be much easier. I use all grow bags and don't have anything in the ground. And I use the grow bags on top of the weed block fabric. I am in zone 7B (Middle TN), as well. Happy Gardening!!
Thanks for the idea!
@@AGardenersJourneyHomestead You're welcome!
Jalepeños = Poppers. 😊
Thanks for sharing your garden with us.. your garden is amazing.
Thanks!
Great plan
I thought they were all yellowish green color also
This is my first time watching your video, and I must tell you how much I enjoyed it. You are so down to earth and funny, and you give us such great information while keeping us interested and laughing. I'm sorry I can't give you any suggestions on the problems you're having with the corn, but I think you're going in the right direction. Keep up the great work. Thanks❤😂
Thank you and welcome to my channel! I appreciate you being here!
Hey Barbara....I wanted to let you know that amazon has the metal raised beds for way cheaper the the price you mentioned.., some less than $100 Dollar unless you looking for the brand you mentioned ....just passing on info...have a blessed day ❤
Exactly. I got a 2 pack for less than $50. You can make 2 4x8 or 1 4x16. They are 1 ft deep. But still can get 8 beds for less than $300. And if you get compost from the refuse yard may fill them all for a couple hundred more. Excited to see.
Hmm good to know...let me check it out!
Yes…I purchased a 2 pack - 48x24
(12 deep) for $56. With free shipping from Amazon.😁
I don't have one myself but I have heard that you can use a black light to look for bugs. Also might a magnifying glass help you see tiny varments that could be causing your corn to not grow as you want it to. Bugs can be vicious but you already know that. Thanks for having a good and informative channel.
Lol I am already tried of squash and zucchini. Frozen canned freeze dried. Eaten. I'm letting some get really big now for animal feed.
Oh wow! Congrats on the abundance!
I was sitting here having a conversation along with you on RUclips and that’s why there are so many comments from me. 😊
Hope you are well. I used your Greenstalk discount code for supports. Greenstalk had them on sale. I wasn’t “gate keeping” the information, but forgot to go back and share it.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate you using my code!
On the corn, that part at the top is the tassle and on the actual corn cobs is the silk. The pollen from the tassle had to fall on the silk to make the corn kernel. Live your tour ❤
Thank you!
All peppers ripen to a different color than they start. The greenish-yellow banana peppers we normally eat are actually the unripe version. They ripen to a reddish orange and are good at any stage of ripeness. When I pickle banana peppers, I usually just use a mix of whatever I have.
Ok thank you ! How do you use your pickled peppers?
@@AGardenersJourneyHomestead a lot of the time, straight out of the jar 😜 Aside from that, I use most of them in marinara for seafood pasta since that’s a dinner we eat a lot. They’re also great on sandwiches, in salads or even chopped finely and sprinkled on top of eggs with tomatoes and basil. The sky’s the limit 😊
Great plan. I love the medal beds from Vego
Yes me too!
You're right, and it is a nitrogen issue. The center squash is the tromboncino squash. You may want to move one. They get really big and choke out everything.
Ok thank you!
Thats a great idea with the raised beds🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Thank you! Now to just buy them...
For bananna peppers it depends how long you leave them the longer you leave them they will change colors just like bells. I always pulled at bright yellow. I always stuff some for hubby when I am making jalapeño poppers since he don't like hot.
OK good to know! Thanks!
Hey Lady. I grew tomitillo this yr for the first time because i want to make salsa verde. You know their ready to harvest when the husks start to bust open. Depending on the variety it takes alot because they are small. I made my 1st salsa batch the other day and water bath canned it, so exciting. Thanks for sharing
Ok good to know! Hopefully my 2 plants will give me enough to make some!
I have vego garden raised bed I love them
Yes that is what I have in my tunnel.
you have to wait for those tomatillo to fill up the little papers and the outer paper like covering will turn crispy and dry up and that's how you know they're ready. They will almost fall off the plant. they get a pretty good size, and should fill out the entire paper. you may want to put the plant up on the trellis too. You will get a lot of tomatillo, they are very very very prolific producers.
they make yummy salsa
Good to know!
I hope you get that sponsorship! I’m growing sweet banana peppers for the first time too. All of mine are yellow but I’m going to leave them a bit longer to see if they change to red
Ok thanks!
Hey Barbara! You give me hope! My garden isnt doing much of anything really. A few things are doing great, but the majority not so much. It really hasn't been very hot here so I need to be more patient. That's what I'm taking from you. Patience.
Where did you get the blueberry tomato seeds from. I'd love to try to get my hands on some. Thanks again 👋🏾
Yes let patience work lol! I got them from Baker Creek!
Is that a volunteer tomato at 19:29 😅. Garden looks great!
I think so!
Hi, I grew banana peppers last year. They started out the yellowish color but left on the bush they turned orange and then they turned red. You can eat at any stage.
Ok thanks! How do you eat or what dish with?
I'm growing tomatillos for the first time also.I thought I heard on one video that when they fall, they are ready.I got to check mr.google, if I get anything.😅😅.My okra is slowly putting out .I got Okra planted EVERYWHERE, lol, and folks really want some.So they need to put out! 😅
Congrats on the okra! Ok on the tomatillo! Now that you mention it I think I heard that too about them falling off
Hey Barbara, my okra is growing slow also
Is it hot where you are-like above 90 degrees?
I’m outside Dallas, TX, zone 8/8a. My okra is growing very slowly. I have harvested 1 okra! I’m sure they will overwhelm me in a couple weeks. I kept planting more okra seeds and put out some more last week. I have a feeling that may have been a mistake. My beans are not growing well at all and I have reseeded a couple times
@@AGardenersJourneyHomestead yes
@@laurasmith4509 Give it a couple of weeks and let's see what happens
Hi, the sweet banana peppers will go from greenish yellow to yellow to orange to light red typically, but they can get the purple/brownish blotches on them too. I've always enjoyed banana peppers on pizza, but I stopped growing them a couple of years ago because I ended up liking other varieties better. Like bell peppers, you can harvest them as soon as they're the size you want, but to get a sweeter fruit you have to let them ripen up.
Ok thanks for letting me know!
The tomatillos look great. They need to be staked up. You pick them when the husk is full and start to split. I freeze mine just like tomatoes. When you have time you can make your sala verde. The nasty bug's will start attacking them in about 6 weeks. So pick pick pick. Happy gardening.
ok good to know! Thank you!
banana peppers can change colors depending on how long they stay on the plant. you can get them in sweet or in hot peppers. most of the time they are yellow, but you can get a red one or a purple one on the plant too. sort of like how some of the japanese shisto will be mostly green but you can get a red on one them too.
Thank you!
@@AGardenersJourneyHomestead you are most welcome!
Okay, it doesn't look like anyone has answered your questions on the corn. You are seeing the tassels on the corn cobs that are forming, that is actually the silks that accept the pollen from the tassels. The tassels are the part at the top where you aren't seeing leaves. That is where the pollen forms and then it drops down onto the silks with wind.... or if you are hand pollinating you cut that top part off and I believe rub it on the silks. Please keep in mind that this is coming from someone who hasn't grown corn in the garden and did not detassel as a teenager, so this is just the 2nd hand knowledge from people who have in corn country. Lol.
So are you saying it is ok that they do not have leaves at the top?
@AGardenersJourneyHomestead yes! That's normal
yeah last year i had horrible squash and zucchini too! the bugs were so bad. Im hoping for better this year.
Yes mine are doing better this year. I have harvested over 20 this week!
@@AGardenersJourneyHomestead wow !!!!! that's a lot :D
I've never seen colored banana peppers, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist, so I guess you'll be surprised. And, Barbara, now you know better than to wsit two days to harvest that zucchini! It'll be a baseball bat by then! 😂
Lol! It is too small but I am watching it!
I find that landscape fabric doesn’t really keep the weeds from growing. Weeds want to grow, and they will, even if under the landscape fabric, because the holes created for the plants provide just enough air, light and water to keep them going. So, even though you don’t see them, they are there and robbing your plans of nutrients. Also, the weed fabric can keep you from amending the soil with compost, which may then lead to hard soil. I find that it is easier to plant without the landscape fabric and work on reducing the amount of weeds in your soil over time by directly dealing with them. Good luck.
I live the dark tomato's and I'm hoping I like they taste. They are supposed to be mu h better for my artitis inflammation, than red. Yellow is too but I'm not crazy about them
Idk about that since my issues from tomatoes are lectin/gut related, but for some reason thought I should mention boron has greatly helped arthritis type pain for me.
@@GoingGreenMom Boron in what form?
You tried sungold tomatoes?
I’ve had some banana peppers stay in long enough to get red!
Ok what do you eat your banana peppers with?
@@AGardenersJourneyHomestead on sandwhich’s!
Banana peppers are yellow but turn pink to red when fully ripe. That purple color you see is sun scald. For your large leaf basil what is the name of it?
The large leaf basil is Mammoth Basil. Thanks!
Hey Barbara. I pray you're well. I wanted to let you know Amazon has several metal raised garden beds for a very reasonable price, depending on the style/brand you want. I just ordered a 2-pack, 6x3x1 that comes with tomato cages, gloves, & tags. I can't remember the brand, but the current price is $39. I feel that is a very reasonable price especially if you need quite a few. Hope this helps.
That is very inexpensive! Can you send me the link to my email?
@@AGardenersJourneyHomestead I'm not real tech savvy, but I'll do my best. Hold tight...
@@AGardenersJourneyHomestead So I just sent the link. Please let me know if you got it.
@@tinatriestoplan8316 Lol that is ok. I saw some on Amazon when I just looked. They are not as tall as I want. I want 17 inches high.
@@tinatriestoplan8316 No I do not have it in my email. Did you send it to barbara@livingfoodsfarm.com?
Hi Barbara the garden looks great. I enjoyed the video. Happy gardening.😊😊😊
Thanks!
Beautiful garden. I can't help with corn. It is only my second time with corn. The first was a complete fail 😂
Hi Barbara, How did you freeze your peppers?
Slice in strips usually or dice and then put them in my Stasher bags
I follow another creator. I’ll look up her channel if you like. she has a whole really great video on the metal Raised bed gardens and she’s in Florida so it’s close enough heat wise for what you do and I believe she has a discount code I will reply to this comment with it if you want me to I just don’t want to cross reference another user without your permission.
Yes it is ok-thank you!
ruclips.net/video/TVcHHMjlNGo/видео.htmlsi=b-6hhnhtf9zXHVr3. If you look ahead has several videos on raised beds. This on is a not to get one lol. There is a coupon code for the one she loves now in her description:)
For the corn in my research you are only “supposed” to do one type at a time, separate varieties by 2 weeks when planting or they will cross pollinate and not do or taste well. The corn to me does look stunted did you direct seed or transplant?
Oh wow good to know. They may not be good so we shall see. I transplanted them.
But I thought potatoes were pioneer plants and helped knock out the weeds when planting in ground? I've not really had to weed them when I've planted.
I should note I was planting in crap soil so I'm questioning this because that easily could have been the reason I didn't have weeds. Lol.
I do not know because that would have been my first time so maybe you are right! Did not know that.
What do you mean by “pinching your basil”?
When you pinch out the tops the plant branches out 2 directions making it bushier and giving you a harvest.
You pinch right above the leaf node once it gets about 6 inches tall.
@@GoingGreenMom I see… thanks!
Let me know if you still have questions about the tomatillos. I got you girl 😊
Thanks. Is there anything else you make with them besides salsa verde?
@@AGardenersJourneyHomestead this is my first year growing them but just to give you a bit of info I found, they freeze like tomatoes, they have to be boiled or roasted for 5-7 min before making salsa verde, and you purée it. I did notice that most recipes were a salsa, but a lot of them switched it up in order to put them as a base to some Mexican dishes. I have also seen some people cut them up and eat them raw. I plan to start off with just salsa Verde until I get that right☺️ but you can definitely freeze them and get a good quantity up before you decide on a recipe.
Oh, and I forgot to say you will know they are ready when they turn the size of a tomato and the paper around them pops open at the bottom and then you can see the shiny green tomatillo. They pop off of the stem very easily and you can store it with the paper on to protect it a while longer. I took the paper off and washed the tomatillo to put it in the refrigerator since my quantity is not a lot right now I am going to use the ones I have to do a small test batch of salsa..
@@theheardhomestead Perfect and thanks so much for the info! Very helpful!
@@theheardhomestead Thank you! We will trying together!
