Gardening in a Drought - Can It Be Done?

- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2022
- It's unreal how dry it is in our backyard gardens currently. We've been running water 24/7 for the last week or two, but it's still been tough. Join us as we show you how much we've been watering just to keep things alive around here.
We'll also show you some unusual growth on our Glass Gem Corn that is making it especially thirsty and demanding. Why does this year's crop look so much different than last year?

Your videos are packed with so much info. I cant believe you only have 19,000 subs. You are going to be huge channel someday. All your content is top notch. Thank you
It is really dry in Alabama too. I have been using grass clippings as mulch and shade cloth on tomatoes and pickles.
We’ve had 100+ temps for the past 14 days and no rain since April so it’s getting really dry. Luckily I got a pretty good haul from all my garden. Okra and peas and a few of the tomatoes still going strong. Pulling everything else up. Got my sweet potatoes planted. Hoping for rain every day but nothing in sight atleast for the next 10 days. I’m on a well also and trying to keep everything watered
Last year was BAD. but this year is lining up to be historic for us in texas.
Hope you get some rain soon, glad you have a well😀
North Florida here, dry and hot too! Send some rain!
Watching the video this week is how gardening is for me out west zone 9b. No measurable rain from May - Oct. so I run the drip irrigation every other day on each of my gardens for about 6-8 hours. But we are used to it, so it must be a lot different for y’all to deal with it when your area doesn’t get any rain. Thank goodness for the drip tape! It has made my garden life so much easier! All your plots look great!
Well, I will not complain about my hard clay anymore. Water my crops once a week only, and they are thriving. We had no rain here, except for a few sprinkles for about 2 months now. North central GA, 8a.
We need rain so bad here too they said we might get some in July the heat dome is right over us unfortunately great update
Travis, you are experiencing the same weather we have in California for 9 months out of the year. We only get a little rain in late winter/early spring and then it’s dry and hot the rest of the year. If it wasn’t for drip I wouldn’t be able to grow anything, and I too am thankful I’m on a well so I don’t have a water bill or am subject to water rationing like they are in town. You see a lot of rocks and cactus here instead of trees and grass in peoples yards ever since we went into a seemingly perpetual drought a few years back.
Thank goodness I have a well too. Appreciate the video.
Hope your well doesn't go dry!
Same here in Peach Country Central Alabama bad dry
I agree that you're handling the chickens in a beneficial way. Especially how much they love eating the legumes in cover crops.
The Heat Wave in Texas started in April and after 2 months we have high temps. that are usually reserved for August/ Sept. we are talking 102 F in the shade and that's air temp. add in the Gulf moisture 110-115 F and that is in the shade , so I water continually and pray for some relief which will unfortunately be a hurricane as the Gulf is boiling hot in June !
we really need some rain here in Northeast OK. Ive had to just pick which plants get water. Cold front is finally going to drop the temps but not looking like rain anytime soon.
Hang in there. It’ll rain sooner or later.
🌼🌻🐝☀️🌺👨🌾 I love your garden!! Such a great inspiration to me as I am just also a gardener and RUclips creator. l’m just harvesting my first fruits and veggies. I still have so much to learn and I appreciate your tips, tricks! Please Keep sharing! I would love to learn more about gardening from each other.
It’s warming up in San Diego and we’ve been in a drought for years with no end in sight. I mulch in the veggie garden and plant natives and low water need plants in the landscape. Haven’t had a lawn in years and don’t miss it.
My corn took a severe hit but I'm still getting a really good tomato harvest. Thank God I installed a whole lot of raised beds this year. If you look at what happened to me last year, I lost everything because it was all drowned out. This year, completely opposite. It's crazy. A Tale of Two Years.
