I actually stopped this video when Luke was talking about pruning herbs and went out and cut the flowers off my basil and rosemary plants! Now my kitchen smells amazing! Thanks for the tips Luke!
Annie B: The term “weed” is subject to interpretation but you can certainly eat all parts of the dandelion plant and the burdock plant from the roots up to the growing tip. Also, invasive plants such as the mint family (mint, basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, sage, etc) are edible except that we tend to use them as herbs and garnishes and we don’t usually eat certain members such as bee balm and catnip. Other “weeds” such as crabgrass could be eaten but are mostly cellulose and cannot be digested by humans. Anyway, the list goes on and on, but check before you eat...some plants are extremely toxic such as deadly nightshade.
Mint is a magic crop. It grows out if you harvest it. It grows out if you don't. Until all you have in your garden is MINT! :) Planted for a friend, told him to trim the mint. He didn't. Came back 3 years later, and he basically had mint lawn. Gotta keep an eye on crops like this :)
I actually tried planting mint in the lawn last year to let it spread (it's mostly weeds anyway), so the yard would smell like mint when I cut it, but they didn't take. 😥
@@MariaLuna-ri3cv It was peppermint. It just didn't take for some reason. I've also noticed it's dying back out back where I initially planted it as well. Maybe it was too shady and/or dry?
@@UrbanGardeningWithD.A.Hanks14 When I first planted mine I kept it potted. Then I put it in the ground. I'll have to dig it up and start again as it is growing weedy now. I managed to keep it in the corner of the bed for years. It does come up in the lawn. I dig up up those vines to maintain it and usually give those babes away. I'll be keeping them this time to start afresh.
Nice video, thanks for sharing the knowledge. Just two things I wanted to add: 1) Rosemary and lavender have leaves. I know they don't look like leaves, but they are. And harvesting regularly does cause them to split and generate new branches. 2) Peppers will continue to ripen on your counter. My wife's colored peppers were succumbing to pests while waiting to turn red, orange or yellow until she started picking sooner. She started picking when the size was about right (even for green peppers), and they finished ripening on the counter, and tasted great.
Perpetual harvest video pretty please! Thanks for all of your awesomeness Luke! It’s been a tough start to this season but your ‘perpetual positivity’ and amazing advice has been helpful and kept me going! 🌱
I would encourage when harvesting herbs, that you take only what you will use fresh (and dried to get you through the winter), leaving the rest to flower for the bees. YES I would like a video on perpetual gardening.
Love this episode Luke. Growing plants in this way especially lettuce, where you can remove the outer leaves and keep harvesting over months really, helps folks who have limited space. It also makes folks get to know about gardening more as they become more familiar with regards to successional sowing as it will mean they need to think how many harvests they can get before they need new ones to replace it. Great video
I so messed up. I have like 20 zucchini plants growing because I didn’t know how much they produced. Guess we will have a lot of zucchini bread and zucchini noodles...
Toodles Mossberg 😮😂 wow if I lived near you I would happily help you harvest some of those zucchini. You are in my prayers, because man that’s going to be a ton of zucchini. You may end up having to start a little zucchini farmers market. 😁 well that’s pretty exciting. Good luck with everything.
Hi Toodles. A time-honored tradition with Zucchini is "Dump and Run". In my neighborhood everyone makes sure to roll their car windows up and lock their car doors at night, thus ensuring that in order for anyone to "gift" them with zucchini one must at least have the nerve to sneak up onto the porch in the dark! ;-)
You can pickle them just like cucumbers. Try adding different flavors to each jar, like garlic, peppers, dill, peppercorns, etc and different combinations so that opening up each new jar is kind of exciting. Chocolate zucchini bread in muffin size freezes well in freezer ziplock bags. Also zucchini sliced in half brushed with a little oil or Italian dressing is great on the grill. Also just plain ol sauteed with a little salt and pepper and garlic if you like, goes with just about any meal. -From someone who planted about 20 zucchini last year. We moved into a new house mid-summer and beans and squash were just about the only things I could direct sow and have mature in time, so we had a whole garden of them. There were times I was starting to resent them, but over the long winter it was so nice to still have that gift from the garden and a reminder of what we have to look forward to (gardening in general I mean, not gallons of zucchini...). If you still have more than you can handle, try checking out local food banks, soup kitchens, or even farmers markets to see if you can off-load some if need be.
I just gave my cilantro a haircut midway towards your video.. I was wondering y they stopped growing all of a sudden and realised those pretty white flowers were a cause.. Big thanks brother! I hope to learn a lot from your vids..
Definitely do a video on perpetual harvests! I’m a beginner gardener and your videos have become one of my favorite places for food production gardening tips. Thanks!! 🌱
Just went outside (at 23:30pm) to harvest all of my beans and peppers... Thanks for the Heads-Up Luke !!! And YES PLEASE, about the 'Perpetual Harvester' Crops Video !!! =D
Highly enjoy your videos. Very helpful. Thank you. You are very funny too. "Zucchini size of babies"😂 love it! Gardening and laughs. Keep doing what your doing
Grew zucchini one year and had one plant just stop producing. In one week I missed one fruit buried in the center of my four plants. It went from the size of my finger to the size of a watermelon. Picked it and feed it to pigs. Yah gotta remember where you seen small fruits. And keep up.
I always get some good information from this channel and I really like that it’s out there for everyone to learn from! Thanks so much for helping us learn on our journey of growing food! We hope to spread the word of the value of growing and raising food on our RUclips channel as well! Keep it coming! 🙏
I love my basil plants! I have 8 (3 purple 5 green) gowing together in a small, acute corner of one of my beds, about a inch to two apart. Looks like a perfectly circular bush, almost decorative. Whatever I harvest today, will be replaced within a couple days. Its definitely a very giving plant and perfect for small spaces.
I grow all 5 of those plants you mentioned for this very reason, they keep producing most all season long. Great for business farms too as well as home gardeners. Those crops don't require insecticide or fungicides either. Great video. Yes to more videos. I recommend your site to many of my customers. Thank you, Justy
what I would like as a new gardener are videos that cover crop "X" from start to kitchen. what plants can go next to each other, for watering purposes and fertilizer usage. I have been watching all your clips to try and put them into some master plan that works for my crops but it is getting confusing. that said I am still learning from you channel and think you have a good presentation.
We just started Container gardening this season. We are blown away by how much the single Zucchini plant is producing. We have harvested 10 to 12 from a single plant, and it is still producing more.
Howdy from Wisconsin sir! 3rd year gardner in the urban space of Madison, WI. The Mrs. and I have access to a wonderful sundeck with tons of sun and your videos have provided incredible guidance for what we're doing. We're staying tuned!
Yes. We want your gardening brain. Perpetual gardening and more. hahaha Also, I'm thrilled that as a novice gardener (less than 1 year) I also shared the idea of "what if I just took all my seed packets and mixed them all together for a 'Surprise' garden this fall" and then what do you know, so did you. lol This is really cool to be planting this way right along with you. I will copy this comment and add to your other video on this very topic.
Luke, i tried bush cucumbers this year. Heavy producing on compact bushes. Got 16 pints of pickles from lke 8 plants, not to mention the early and late outlayers. They werent as dense as pickling cuke, but held up pretty well for dill
My majoram grows well and it has spread, i leave the small white flowers for the many bees that love it, and i can always still find usable leaves... It is not in full sun at my front door garden and the smell after picking is amazing. I have trouble growing many herbs but this one never dies back completely and from one plant ive had years of majoram and so have the bees! Love your videos
I'd love to see a video on perpetual harvest plants vs exponential ones. This is the first time i've heard of that distinction so i'm curious to find out more. As gardeners it's very useful to know what the 'normal' behavior is of the plants we grow. :)
Very good description on seed plants stressed into hyper reproduction , most annual flowers will produce more flowers if you regularly pinch the dead heads before they can mature seeds.
My favorite veggies! Oh I can't wait to have my garden back again, looks like the first crop I'll be putting in will be Fall veggies Love your vids Luke
I just wanna say that somehow you always manage to put an interesting or somewhat new spin on the 'ol RUclips "top 5-10" vids. Not only that but yours are genuine. What I mean in this case by "genuine" is you're not just trying to cash in on a RUclips algorithm like so many channels that use this format in a reductionist way. Anyways, I really enjoy your channel and new take on an old method regarding presenting your info. I found this title/concept particularly interesting. You've assembled a valuable archive of data on this channel, friend. I've been subbed for a long time but somehow always manage to find a great old video of yours I didn't see
Yes make other video New gardener Now I know just pick flowers off and my lil buk choy will continue.. And now I know you must harvest even if plant is pretty and you don't want too. Thanks Luke!
Awesome video ! I learned some new things on your video thank you so much! Have been growing a vegetable Garden past 3 years, I wondered why my cucumber plants or Vines, LOL, only grew only one cucumber or two cucumbers, I left the cucumbers on the vine in hopes of the Cucumber would grow bigger, now I know where I went wrong, same thing with my bell pepper plants, 2 bell peppers per plant maybe three, I did not pick them I was hoping they would turn red before I pick them, now from your video I'll know to pick the bell peppers off the plant at the right time and also have to pick the Cucumbers off at the right time so they'll grow three times as many fruit or vegetables and four times as many after I pick for the Third growing wave, thank you anyway you help me out a lot! I did not know beans cucumbers and bell peppers and pepper plants behave that way but thank you for letting me know, I'm always open to learn more and I'm glad I am cuz I would have never known this if I was not open to learning more we're always students and always learning no matter what, ! Some people learn a tiny bit about growing vegetables and think they know everything about growing vegetables but I know there's always more to learn! Thank you for your video I learned a lot I subscribed and put thumbs up on your video you're helping out a lot of people! God bless you and yours!
I totally get where he's coming from regarding the carrot comment but I have carrots in my small garden, both in my raised bed and in containers, just because I LOVE homegrown carrots and can't always get to the farmers market. Same with parsnips. I've learned to plant what I love to eat fresh from the garden and just make room for it where I can. If I were totally reliant on my garden, I'd probably change my mind on that ... or make make my entire backyard a veggie garden (my dream!!)
Great video! I'm still new at gardening and this info was so helpful. Thanks for sharing it and yes I would love a video on perpetual plants as well :) Blessings, Judy & Ed ( Arkansas)
The moment I heard you talking about flowers on my basil plant, I stopped the video and ran outside to cut off all the flowers that were growing on top of my plants. Now I have a bowl full of leaves ready to use my my cooking. By the way, I got those leaves with a long stem so that I can strip the bottom of leaves and place them in water. After 1 to 2 weeks, they will start to grow roots and I can plant them to get even more plants. I’ve done it before, and it works! Thanks!
Thanks Luke, great information. Wish I would have known this when I lived in NY. I've been living in Central Florida now for the past ten years and it's been hard to garden down here because of different growing season's here. What to grow at different times of the year and what can take the heat. July through August is our dormant season here because of the amount of rain and humidity. Still trying to figure it all out.
I love your videos. Especially on growing a lot in a small space. Just like your cucumbers. I accidentally left on to long and I am getting less production out of that one plant. To prevent that next year I plan on trellising my cucumbers, zucchini, and all of my other crops I can even pumpkins. It will also help save on space, Were I grow on a 1/3 od an acre of land it will feel like a 5 acres of food production.
Thank You So Much! I have a lot of herbs growing. I will now be going out to harvest and dry some. Looking forward to more herbs growing. You have a wonderful channel. I am learning so much. Yes please do a perpetual harvest video!
I so enjoyed tthis VLOG,, the exponential growing and the leafy plants for spices and seasonings, and ending with the fact that tomatoes are not exponential growers. You and your knowledge are a great channel.
I ha e never had an abundance of peppers. Last year I got 3 total from 3 plants! And so far this year I have yet to get a blossom! #perpetualpepperfail
Unfortunately I root rot on my six plants (beef Steak tomato) was given to me. Always wanted to try and love it. ??????? Can I take the healthy green tomatoes (large ones) pick them and allow them to ripen on their own in the sun? I tried calcium etc... So learning experience. But I truly enjoy. Thank you and your family for sharing knowledge with us. Sincerely Michelle Pup Harley and Kitty Liam Arlington Massachusetts.

These were the ingredients chose to create the perfect little garden. But professor Luke accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction.
marry me!!
@@1369legend he's married to Sindy.
Trellis the cucumbers and you will always see the fruit hanging. Also frees up room on the ground to add another plant.
I actually stopped this video when Luke was talking about pruning herbs and went out and cut the flowers off my basil and rosemary plants! Now my kitchen smells amazing! Thanks for the tips Luke!
I would love to see a video on how you draw out your plans for the year and keep everything mentally organized. Thank you!!
Yes, a perpetual harvest video would be GREAT!
Yes, yes, yes ~ video on perpetual harvesters!
And ~ video(S) on edible weeds, please!
Love you AND your great tips!
Thanks SO much! Keep 'em comin'!
What Annie B said.

@@jillfisher6386 have you ever tried lavender tea? It's so good ❤
Thanks for the tip on the peppers 😉👍
Skylar Tipton no, but I do add it to my lemonade. I’ll have to try tea.
I have read that peppers do NOT continue to ripen after you pick them, as in, their flavor doesn't get any better, unlike with tomatoes.
Perpetual harvest video pretty please! Thanks for all of your awesomeness Luke! It’s been a tough start to this season but your ‘perpetual positivity’ and amazing advice has been helpful and kept me going! 🌱
Would love the video on perpetual plants! Love your informational videos!
You mean like permaculture? I get it! Plant once lean back and eat forever! 😉
Peppers are perpetual plants, but you need to overwinter them.
I would encourage when harvesting herbs, that you take only what you will use fresh (and dried to get you through the winter), leaving the rest to flower for the bees.
YES I would like a video on perpetual gardening.

Dehydrating for winter use is also an option, then store for zucchini bread.
In the 70's we canned zucchini with pineapple juice and extract or almond flavoring. It tasted like fruit and made wonderful Jello, salads, cakes.
Another exponential crop in the south is Okra, if you don't pick it daily it will stop but if you keep it picked it will produce a lot.
And it's really the only thing that survives the heat. It just thrives in it.
Amen. Has to be picked every day. I have picked twice in one day more than once.
I just don’t like “okra” too slimy tasting, ...
@@johne.osmaniii7217 don't boil it. Saute it, fry it, etc
I need more recipes, we get sick of it after about a month haha
I have to go cut the flowers off my basil now. Great video. Thanks! Make the perpetual crops video please!
Aaron Barrett I cut flowers off my basil too not long ago and it produced more flowers the next week. I feel like I can’t keep up with it lol
My mint needs pruning. I better cut those seeds off.
Now I need to cut my basil flowers too.
I let it flower to attract pollinators. I noticed this week tons of stingerless bees love my basil
Kate thank you so much for all the info you are sharing! It is wonderful to have people like you and Luke to help guide us ‘newbies’ 😊

Same
he is not kidding about that... i let my grow too big... picked one the other day must have been 4 lbs...
I also picked a cucumber 11 in long and 11 in round...
RaisingWar omg that’s how much I weighed when I was born, that’s so funny
Those are for zucchini bread! Yummy!
Very good description on seed plants stressed into hyper reproduction , most annual flowers will produce more flowers if you regularly pinch the dead heads before they can mature seeds.

I am obsessed with my container veg. Thanks for the knowledge nuggets
Great video and learned a lot and would love to see a video on perpetual harvesting
The moment I heard you talking about flowers on my basil plant, I stopped the video and ran outside to cut off all the flowers that were growing on top of my plants. Now I have a bowl full of leaves ready to use my my cooking. By the way, I got those leaves with a long stem so that I can strip the bottom of leaves and place them in water. After 1 to 2 weeks, they will start to grow roots and I can plant them to get even more plants. I’ve done it before, and it works! Thanks!

Thanks Luke, great information. Wish I would have known this when I lived in NY. I've been living in Central Florida now for the past ten years and it's been hard to garden down here because of different growing season's here. What to grow at different times of the year and what can take the heat. July through August is our dormant season here because of the amount of rain and humidity. Still trying to figure it all out.
Yes perpetual plants as well. Thanks
Wow. Thanks so much Luke!!!
This information explains a lot of my garden questions that ended up popping up from last year ☺️! Thank you for being you and sharing the knowledge.
Yes, interested in perpetual crops too
I'm really hoping you made that video on perpetual harvest!! With everything going on, I'm looking to have a successful garden.
Excellent information Luke! Excellent! Thank you very, very much!❤️
Reduction in Production, I love this!!
Hey thanks for all the videos. Starting to get into gardening this year, inflation man, and your videos have been help h. Thanks
Yes sir. If you don't mind, I'd definitely like to see your video on Perpetual harvesting. Great content as usual. Thx.
Yes perpetual video!!!
I love your videos. Especially on growing a lot in a small space. Just like your cucumbers. I accidentally left on to long and I am getting less production out of that one plant. To prevent that next year I plan on trellising my cucumbers, zucchini, and all of my other crops I can even pumpkins. It will also help save on space, Were I grow on a 1/3 od an acre of land it will feel like a 5 acres of food production.
I truly enjoy and learn from all your videos.
Yes! We want the video!
Yes! Perpetual harvest! Great video! Like a fool I’ve been waiting on my first flush of peppers too long. Thanks so much.
Yes, I'd like a video on the different types of tomatoes. Please!!! Thanks for all that you do and share. Blessings
3:25 "...It's always very small in the very beginning" amen brother!
Thank You So Much! I have a lot of herbs growing. I will now be going out to harvest and dry some. Looking forward to more herbs growing. You have a wonderful channel. I am learning so much. Yes please do a perpetual harvest video!
I love your channel ❤️ I have a confined area and grow for my neighborhood. I thank you
I so enjoyed tthis VLOG,, the exponential growing and the leafy plants for spices and seasonings, and ending with the fact that tomatoes are not exponential growers. You and your knowledge are a great channel.
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge! Great video, keep them coming!!!
That explains why my bell peppers are coming in like crazy now. I harvested them and now I have an abundance of bell peppers 💜
I ha e never had an abundance of peppers. Last year I got 3 total from 3 plants! And so far this year I have yet to get a blossom! #perpetualpepperfail
Heidi Snavely 2020 I was in the garden yesterday and the bell peppers are beginning to sprout. What are yours looking like now? I’m in US Georgia
There are a couple blossoms on one, the other 4...nothing.
Unfortunately I root rot on my six plants (beef Steak tomato) was given to me. Always wanted to try and love it. ??????? Can I take the healthy green tomatoes (large ones) pick them and allow them to ripen on their own in the sun? I tried calcium etc... So learning experience. But I truly enjoy. Thank you and your family for sharing knowledge with us. Sincerely Michelle Pup Harley and Kitty Liam Arlington Massachusetts.
