We have been snowed in here for about a week now, with extremely low temperatures outside, and I have enjoyed long leisurely hours with my seed boxes and with my thoughts about Garden 2024. I found some colored pencils and was about to put them into a donation box but decided to sketch out a garden diagram and add colored placeholders for my vegetables. It turned out quite nice!
Congrats.
That's so awesome to hear! Hope you are alright in the snowy conditions.
@@leafygreens9582 I'm used to inhumane treatment and trauma.
Sounds like the snow we should have. Snow banks left day temps high 30's low 40's. One day closer to spring!
LOVING getting nosey at your garden, thank you ❤❤❤
I like doing the same with yours. 😊
😂😂I’m avoiding the analysis paralysis conundrum 😂😂
I just get out there at the time to plant and dig in. I don’t worry about rotating this or that because there is plenty of nutrients and no major pest problems. 😅and I’m not moving the cattle panels😅
I had a Wonderful shopping day!! I rarely go anywhere especially shopping and I picked a super day as I found many deeply discounted items-Oh, And seeds!😂. I studied online catalogs from the seed companies that my nursery carries and pretty much knew what I was looking for when I seen it. There were varieties I’ve been hearing a lot about over the past couple years and will give them a go. I was really excited to find most of them so I don’t have to pay shipping. I got a tiny tomato to get growing-I will definitely have a tomato before July 4th 😅.
It’s been well below zero all week and I had to get out of the house. One more below zero night and then January thaw-upper 30s next week (YeeHaw) and 3-6” of (I’m sure) heavy snow Monday night. Suppose tomorrow will roof rake the load of snow off from last week in case it rains.
Maybe add a few San Marzanos Paste tomatoes to your greenhouse? I would have a blast planning your garden. 😁
Thanks for the suggestion.
I took your advice and got the Planter app! I'm graduating from container gardening to ungrounded because my husband gifted me with two arched trellises and 5 raised beds! I cannot thank you enough! It made it so much easier!
Congratulations on the gifts. If you don’t mind me asking ; which planer app worked for you darling? ❤
@terrionsmith2914 It's called Planter on Google play.
Nice opportunity to see your garden beds in the middle of winter. Stay warm!
Oh that melon patch will be real interesting to see Scott. Here we need to grow them under cover. Exciting to plan the new growing season even when there is snow on the ground. Great video mate.
Thanks, Tony. I'm working on ideas to cover the patch so it doesn't get destroyed by hail.
I have been looking at square foot gardening this year. I can grow way more than I need. It is amazing what you can do vs. row gardening.
Scott, you have such a big area. I wish I had that big of an area.
Oh neat! Coincidentally I just made my garden plan for the year earlier today
Thank you Scott for all you do. Enjoying the info from N.C. Thinking of my own garden blessings to be in 2024.
Great plan for your garden space!. I usually plan earlier than this and then change it several times because I come across new seeds that I cannot live without. This year we had an over abundance of snow that kept me shoveling daily. Now that it’s only raining now I can plan. Maybe this year I don’t have to change it a few times. Lol
Scott you do shallots ? shallots I plant with the garlic garden , folks don't grow them enough . shallots will last years when stored right . Nice trying new things , keep up the great videos .
Shallots are great in the garden. I plan to do more this year. Thanks!
I'm starting seeds indoors for transplanting outdoors for the first time and that has been a learning experience let me tell you. I've learned that when the internet says, "Start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost date," that is butkus.
I have mapped out my garden so many times this season. I've had to redraw and edit my plans so many times I've lost count. I think I'm in the conundrum most gardeners can relate to. I'm struggling not to overplant and wish I had more garden space. I'm really thinking about trying square foot gardening and intentionally planting things so I can maximize my space without sacrificing harvest amounts.
Square Foot Gardening is a great way to learn how to grow more in less space. Here's my video on getting started with it: ruclips.net/video/pt3rRBA1-wc/видео.html
Excellent episode mr Scott! I’m looking forward to seeing your 2024 garden!👍
Love hearing your reasons for the future gardening season! Be well, my friend!
Thank you! I was thinking about your garden with the recent terrible weather. I hope you're well.
I always try at least one or two new varieties every year. I used to always grow the same thing once I found something I liked but I don't think that's a good strategy since there is so much out there to try.
On another note, I was wondering how your metal beds with the corrugated roofing are holding up and if you had a video on how you constructed. I've built a few with that roofing but have done it the hard way with the roofing cut in to smaller segments and overlapping going up and down instead of across like you have them. I saw someone do it that way in a video and thought you needed to do it that way to make it sturdy but it appears yours is holding up well. Thanks Gardener Scott.
They've held up well. Here's a video on it: ruclips.net/video/3GUEfP9K07o/видео.html
Excellent. Nice helper. Thank you for the great Ideas.
Hi Scott, It's nice to hear all the things you are trying this year! I'd love to see more tours of your garden as it progresses throughout the year. I'm glad you are trying melons. I first really got into gardening after I grew two cantaloupe plants successfully and have been into gardening ever since. I've grown melons now for about 6 years around the SLC area. Melons are so rewarding but can be tricky and are more challenging than most vegetable garden crops I find, but I've learned some interesting things along the way so I'm getting much better results with melons.
Hey thanks for the comment. Nice to see a local on here. I'm just down in the utah county area myself. I'm going to be trying to put in some grapes and berries this year, along with some possible metal raised beds and maybe some other stuff. Hope your garden turns out decently this year and hopefully mine will too! Thanks!
@@weirdsweetcoolplants That's awesome! I'm also from Utah County. Glad to hear you are adding so many new things to your garden this year. I planted grapes, blackberries, strawberries, and several fruit trees last year. I'm hoping to add some more this year.
⛱️😎 Greetings from North Florida Scott, I've been doing same, not Quite as cold! Best of Luck in'24.
Just a thought, you could stick a couple broccoli between the tomato and fig tree.
Time got away from me, was going to suggest an heirloom cherry tomato, Chadwick Cherry. A friend sent me some seeds last winter. On the small side, nice flavor, very prolific an option to hybrid cherries.
Stay well!!!
Thanks for the suggestion, Brian.
Were the geese heading home for spring or fleeing to warmer weather? lol
Glad I'm not the only one who wanders around the garden in the wintertime! Just mused that there's nowhere to grow squash in our ever expanding gardens. But in the plans are to expand our 3 fruit guilds into a food forest. I can use squash as a groundcover until the fruit trees, bushes, and herbs mature. Yay!
Scott have you ever tried collard greens, broccoli or brussels sprouts? I’m in Nebraska and that’s what I’ve grown and they do really well also pole beans they do good in fact last year I tried different beans, kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans they all did well. I planted cantaloupe, pumpkin and watermelon last year and my space is nothing like yours you have such a large amount of room. I love it. Enjoy gardening, I know you will.😅
I have tried those. I don't eat those specific vegetables much and focus on the ones I do, plus sone new ones this year.
@@GardenerScott yeah, I did the same thing. I wish I had your big area though.
can you talk about what squash can be trellised and which should not? My buttercup did NOT like being trellised. is it a winter vs summer squash thing?
Many squash can be trellised, but summer squash tend to do better. Heavier winter squash can be difficult.
Hey Gardener Scott hope things are good. Before I ever apply anything to my garden beds, I like to run things past someone with many years of knowledge. Anyway I'll get to the point I was watching MIGardener and he was using Kingsford Royal oak bar-b-q wood chunks as biochar what is your opinion? Thank you in advance Jim
Wood charcoal and biochar are different. The biochar is almost pure carbon as the pyrolysis process burns away potentially harmful oils, volatile compounds, and chemicals. Charcoal may still have some of those contaminants and may have added petrochemicals to make lighting easier. I don't like the idea of adding that to my soil.
Any suggestions on growing in Pueblo?
Much of what I show in my videos is similar. The warmer temperatures allow you to start earlier so learn about season extending to get more growing.
You may have covered this before, but which planting app do you recommend?
I use the Planter app and they offer 25% off the Planter Premium subscription with this link: planter.garden/promo/GardenerScott
Too cold for me outside.
Do you grow different varieties of squash close together?
I’m asking, because I’ve had spaghetti squash and a butternut type of squash cross. I canned it anyway and made dog food using a bit of it in each batch of dog food till they could eat regular dog food.
I do. When squash cross pollinate it only affects the seeds for the next generation.
@@GardenerScott what varieties have you grown close together and hadn’t crossed? My Spaghetti squash couldn’t be eaten as spaghetti squash because it crossed tolerated with the butternut type that I grew the same year
Most of them did not cross, because I planted corn and green beans in between them, however as they vine towards each other, the ones that were growing on those vines that were close to each other actually crossed that year
@@ruthcalsada1440 I've had many that probably crossed but because I didn't save the seeds it didn't matter. Cross pollination does not affect the fruit in the first year. If the taste or appearance are different there is another factor that caused it.
How do you compost in wintertime?
I don't, but you can if you spend time caring for the compost pile to keep the heat up.
Did you receive those Greek seeds I sent you that come from Cyprus.😊
I haven't received them yet. Hopefully soon. Thanks!
? May I inquire is there a benefit not to rotate crops? I heard that it is important to rotate crops to ensure enough nutrients (ex tomatoes deplete soil of nutrition and next year it would would be a weak crop if planted in same spot) , disease is less, etc.
I amend my soil regularly with organic matter like compost. That replenishes the nutrients. Without amending, rotation helps avoid the nutrient depletion.
@@GardenerScott thank u!
Are you in Northern Colorado?
I'm outside Colorado Springs.
Mala as in Mala beads?
Mala, as I chose it, is Hawaiian for gardener.
aha!@@GardenerScott
Not everyone rotates in their garden unless there a problems. but you are rotating peppers and tomatoes instead of rotating to a different family. You do have winter so maybe you don't have persistent pest problems I would have planting the same family of plants.
I don't have pest and disease problems and rotate mainly to see if they do better in a different spot since I've only gardened here for a few years.
@@GardenerScott Where I live in Hawaii, pest problems are perennial. I cannot plant the same family of plants in the same location if there are problems. But I do try other planting in different spots to see if it grows better. I found that I have fewer pest problems if zucchini is planted on the other side of the house from other cucurbits because it is a magnet for melon flies. They don't bother the other cucurbits as much if the zucchini is nowhere near them.
Noticed your thermometer in the ground in your greenhouse, not good as it will shorten its life by corroding the tip.
Thanks, but it's just temporary monitoring. I just put it in to measure morning temperatures and then take it out. It happened to be in the shot while the soil warmed a bit.
Scott, wasps ruined my gardening safety last summer. I had to call a guy. Any advice?
Finding their nesting spots is an important step. If you can remove where they live before they become a problem it might help.
