THANK YOU for being here!!
Northeast Minnesotan here, glad I found another gardener to 'compare notes' with. Garden is looking good!
Yay!! Hi neighbor!
A great companion/cover crop for your tomatoes is radish. They love the cool shade under the maters. Re-seed as you harvest.
I didn't know this...I'm going to try this 🙂
Yay! Garden looks great! Fellow Minnesotan here!! So glad i found your channel, helps me keep healthy expectations ( and hope) for my garden. Keep it coming, love the content..
Hey there neighbor!! I’m glad you found me 🫶🏼
Minnesota 4B here! I’m having nearly the same struggles and successes :) glad to know I’m not alone. Thank you for your videos! Keep them coming ❤
Hang in there!! ❤️❤️
Hi neighbour! 👋 I'm just across the boarder in Ontario. Nice to find a channel that's relatable with my zone 3b.
How cool!!! I’m glad you found me :)
Insect row covers works perfectly! I highly recommend
Thanks for the tip!!!!
Before i clicked on this video, i have seen like a survey from youtube asking me what i think about it. I clicked on the informative and useful spots.
Gardens are looking awesome, especially with the weather we have been having this year!
Heck yes!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m in zone 4 BC Canada.
Very good tour with great information along the way. Thank so much.
Glad it was helpful! Fun to meet people in my same zone! ☺️
@29.40 I hope you didn't throw away all those radish leaves. You can pickle them just like Kimchi or eat like normal greens. TY for video. Blessings from Aust.
I gave them to the chickens - they LOVED them!
Don't thin the cilantro. It grows better in close quarters, and doesn't bolt as fast.
Good to know!! I haven’t grown it in years so I appreciate the tip 🙏🏼
That's great, my friend. New subscriber for you ♥️
Thanks for the tour. It's looking good. I like to watch other gardener from my part of the state.
Thanks for watching!!!
Do you think it would be more advantageous to keep your garden, covered in a large greenhouse?
Great job!
What a beautiful garden!
Thank you so much!!
Hello from Forest Lake Minnesota! Great tour! Now I'm hungry 🤣😋
Come over!!! 🥦🥬🥔🧅🍅
We are also in Mid/Northern Minnesota (zone 4a)! We are so far behind this year, everything is getting pelted wuth rain and smashed with wind this year.
Ughh it’s been a weird spring for sure!!!
💚👍lookin good!!
Thank you!!!!
I am also glad to watch someone else in Minnesota that is dealing with similar conditions. This year is a difficult weather year. My garden is struggling with all the rain and wind damage. Does anyone have something that actually works for mosquitoes! I am done being carried away! Great garden tour!
Love finding other MN gardeners! I’ve been wearing my bug suit a lot (geni.us/AmazonBugSuit) and my DIY bug spray works good too (thehomesteadingrd.com/essential-oil-mosquito-repellent-recipe/). Hang in there!!
Hey, we are close by in MN zone 3B to 4A depending on the year. This year is the mosquito condominium year, we live in nets from May to Nov. Our garlic is starting to produce scapes. Some years I have successfully grown Scotch Bonnet peppers and some years not. We have a large 50’ X 80 garden, several raised beds ands a few vertical. They all have a purpose. We’ve been battling slugs, bunnies, deer, bears and even watched skunks jump in the raise beds and dig. The UPS and Fed ex guys says our place is the worse they have seen for mosquitoes. But we have rain! Lol! Thank you!
Hello neighbor!!! So good to hear that Scotch Bonnets are a possibility! 🙏🏼 It’s been a cool and cloudy June so we’re not off to a good start, but here’s to hoping! Wow!! You’ve got all the critters for sure - have you tried electric poultry netting? I LOVE mine! No one breaks through 💫. The mosquitos are definitely at an all-time high! All my friends/family refuse to visit until it dries up 😂. Hang in there!
@@thehomesteadingrd I’m very interested in the poultry netting. We’ve had electric fencing. The deer take a running jump, so I’ve been making odd size inner fenced portions, lol! I made copper bracelets for the beans, seems to be working for slugs. My friends came over, got out of the car for 5seconds, then got back in and said they’d call us and left, lol! Thank you!
@@beckyhennanddevihenn6327 It's amazing! I've been using it for 6-7 years now. This is the fencing: geni.us/AmazonElectricFence and then you can power it with this geni.us/AmazonParmak or this geni.us/AmazonParmakSolar . I also highly recommend getting an extra pack of these geni.us/AmazonEFenceStakes to keep the fence propped up and off the ground. Good luck!!!
@@thehomesteadingrd thank you! Very much, I want to install one for next years garden, so I will start the infor now!
Have you ever heard of putting fish in large barrels of water so the mosquitoes land their eggs on the water and the fish eat them? I’m in Canada and that’s what people do to lower mosquito population. Might be worth a try :)
Love your video 🥰... thanks for sharing! New subbie here 😊
Yay! Welcome 🫶🏼!
Your garden area turned out very nice. Thanks for sharing the video.
So nice of you!! I’m happy with it ☺️
Hello from Aitkin, MN! Yes, my garden is struggling with all the rain and cool weather.your tomatoes look great. Mine are not happy, too wet. I have alot of clay in my soil. My peppers are doing good.
Hi there! We LOVE Aitkin! That's actually where we were trying to move to initially :) Lots of rain, for sure. Hang in there!
Love the tour. Can you note how many of each plant you have? I’m trying to gauge at how much to plant per year to be able to eat for each year. Much love and thank you! ☺️
Look up "plants per person garden " it should pull up charts
Two questions:
1. What was the gardening book you said you learned a lot from?
2. How wide are your planting rows and your walkwayaisles?
Hi there!
1. Here’s my fav gardening book: geni.us/AmazonVegetableBible
2. My rows are 3 feet wide and the walking paths are 1 foot wide
@@thehomesteadingrd Thanks and the garden looks great!!
Your garden is awesome Katie! Do you still water the same way as last year?
Yep! I still just use my basic 1 sprinkler head that's propped up on a tall pole. Nothing fancy
Newbie here! Where can I find info about planting onions? Mainly when do they need to be planted? I threw some seeds into my garden beds in late May and they are still super tiny. Thanks!
Hi there! Onions need a LONG time to grow. They are the first seeds that I start in doors (late February for zone 3/4), so if you started them in late May then tiny is to be expected. Sorry! I hope they finish out in time. You might still be okay if you have a long growing window.
Thank you for your reply! I unfortunately don’t have a long growing window. I’m in southern South Dakota. But I’ll remember for next year. Thank you for the info!
Do you have problems with potatoes coming back up again the next year even after you’ve harvested them. I do two years later and I thought I’d got them all!
Haha yup that happens sometimes to me, too! It’s hard to get 100% of them at harvest time. It’s kind of a fun surprise in the spring
👍🤠
Thanks for coming along for the tour!!
I grew kohlrabi for the first time. As soon as I brought it in the house to ac it got soft. How do you store it?
They do tend to go limp pretty fast (even in the crisper drawer), so I try to just pick them as we eat them. However, even if the leaves go limp, the edible bulb is usually still good for a while!
