- This is my first video for San Antonio gardening. I made this channel and video because I don’t see a lot of videos specific to gardening in the San Antonio area. I am not an expert gardener but I am learning and growing each year and hope to share my knowledge and learn from my audience. Thank you for watching.
My goal with this channel is to answer some common questions like those below. If you have expertise you would like to share on this channel please leave a comment and let me know.
I would like to thank the following channels for inspiring me and teaching me a lot.

Thank you for posting! I was surprised there weren’t that many San Antonio specific gardening videos to look through
My pleasure. I felt the same way so I decided to just start sharing what I am doing. I hope others will start too. Thanks for watching and supporting.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching and the kind words.
I love your round bed! I have extreme dry heat in summer. I tried planting potatoes in part shade and they did not do well. When I planted them in full sun they did much better. This surprised me since our heat gets up to 115°. I start everything as soon as the danger of frost has passed.
Thank you for the comment and best of luck in your garden.
Finally a fellow San Antonio gardener!😊
Yes. No one was putting out content so I figured I would give it a shot. Thanks for watching.
Howdy neighbor, I'm in Schertz also. Glad to see someone doing a gardening channel for the San Antonio area! I've been here about 10 years and doing gardening for about 8. Really wished I had known more when I first started, I would've just worked on soil for the first year and not worried about flowers so much! 😆 Digging here is no joke 😵
Smart idea about rotating the circle/key bed! Do you have dappled sun all day in the area you were showing? Recently had a mature cedar elm in our front yard diagnosed with rot in the lower 3 feet of the trunk, so it will have to be removed in the next year or so, feeling pretty sick about losing that shade! We'll put another tree in the front, but it's going to be awhile before we can enjoy it!
Thanks for the comment and following along. I do have dappled sunlight in the area where the circle garden is and I have been primarily focused on soil development. If I get the soil right I should be able to do all sorts of things in the future. Stay tuned for more.
Hey I had just posted on san Antonio gardening if there was any San Antonio RUclipsrs. Glade I came across.
Hi Angie, I just started. I was surprised that there is no one here making videos. I would love to travel around the area and maybe video different peoples set ups so that we can all learn together. Thanks for your support.
Howdy neighbor! I’m also San Antonio area.
Hi Patty. Thanks for joining the channel.
I too am happy you started making videos. I live in San Antonio and I have a family member that lives in Cibolo up your way. I was wondering how much sun you get. My yard is mostly shade but my family member's yard gets a lot of sun and the plants do great over there. Keep putting out videos. I love to get ideas on gardening.
Thanks for watching. In my yard I have some spots that are full shade, partly shade, and full sun. I am experimenting with plants to see what grows best in the different areas.
Hello from Austin, Texas!
Hey. Thanks for subscribing. I just subscribed to you as well and look forward to seeing your content.
@@sanantoniogardening thank you!
Buenos días. Just found this video and I agree. So happy there’s a video specific to our area. Planting and gardening in south Texas is no joke. The heat and the sun do not know how to play nice with our plants.
Here’s to Happy and hopefully stress free gardening in south Texas.
Thank you for the comment and following along. I greatly appreciate it.
Thank you so much for this channel. I love the simplicity of your set up. Im a container gardener since were renting, but im interested in learning about soil amending and in ground planting now that im helping my mom start her garden bed on the far southside. The soil is mainly sand out there but we’re slowly starting the process amending with garden soil and cow manure… haha we don’t know much on what were doing but we’re just jumping in.
Thanks joining and all the kind words. Just about everything I know about gardening I learned in the last few years from RUclips so I figured it’s my time to give back. I think the quickest way to get the soil going is just lay down a bunch of wood chips. I would recommend watching a documentary called back to Eden. It’s really inspiring. If there are any topics you want me to cover just let me know and thanks again. AJ
Subscribed! Way to go!! Love it! Looking forward to more videos! I started my channel last year and I’m loving it.
Thank you for the support. I am always out in the garden anyway and I figured I would just start documenting it. Thanks for following. I will check out your channel too.
Glad you suggested this channel!. Looking forward for the pizza oven video 😊
Thanks for following. The pizza oven is awesome. I’ll probably update that video when the weather cools down.
Subscribed!
Thank you
Wow, keep it going. I’ve been gardening for a couple of years here in San Antonio it’s always a challenge . I also have pomegranate trees, this spring planted plum and nectarine. Started with flower beds but now I wish I would’ve used them instead for garden beds. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
Thank you for the comment and following along. I am happy to share what I am experimenting with and wish you the best of luck in your yard.
I see lots of efficiency in your yard. Looking forward to learning more!
Thank you. I made the circle for efficiency but that’s about it.
Hey there-I’m just up the road from you in Marion. Glad to see you making videos!
Thank you. You are my first official comment. If you have any ideas for videos please let me know.
I am having a really hard time growing veggies here.
Same here. It’s a lot of trial and error for me.
Preying Mantis will eat good bugs too, they eat all bugs, fyi
Thank you for the comment. Unfortunately my preying mantis didn’t survive the summer heat or they moved onto different terrain.
@@sanantoniogardening I am sorry to hear that! I hope you try again with them, they are so cool…good luck!
Great idea to start this channel! I'm in Boerne and I'm always on the hunt for creators specific to here. I'm just starting my garden after moving here a couple of years ago, but I def appreciate the experience you seem to have and will be all the way tuned in. Quick question, I see you have your blueberries in the ground, I'm on the other side of town but was told I need to keep them in a big pot because our soil was too alkaline, is that true for you as well? And if so how are you amending it to keep them fruiting?
Thank you for tuning in and the comment. I started living here in 2020 and was also surprised that nobody had a local RUclips channel so I figured why not do my own. As for the blueberries I was told the same thing but I also did some research on amending the soil with sulfur. That’s what I did. I dug a big hole and made my own soil with with sulfer to get the PH right. So far I have only gotten a handful of berries from the plants. Not sure if it’s the soil, location, or some other factor. I’ll keep you updated throughout the year. Thanks again for watching.
Hello, from Spring Branch! Do you have limestone very far down under your soil!?
Hi and thank you for the comment. In most of my yard I hit limestone rock as soon as I start digging. I usually have to break it up if I plant trees or bushes.
@@sanantoniogardening Me too, i am doing mostly raised beds or containers. I did plant a few trees, my nephew brought a jackhammer over and we dug holes with it…we will see if they make it to not…😬
@holly1391 let me know how it goes
Where did you get your hay?
Tractor supply
AJ what's up.
Hi. Thanks for watching the video.
