Good morning from the Berkshire hills of western Mass. I had given up on growing tomatoes due to this blight. I’m going to give your buckets on the deck idea a try. Thanks Jack!
Like you, we plant vegetables in the flower beds around our house. It is good use of landscaping spaces to get some extra veggies. Good luck gardening this year!
“It’s January, nobody’s thinking gardens...” lol this was the video I needed! I set up my basement grow tent last week and container planted some lettuce and spinach in there, but I’m about ready to start my chives, herbs, marigolds, then onions!
Congrats on the TV exposure Jack! I bet you can get 5 years from your untreated beds, easily. Another good wood choice would be rough sawn hemlock. It might be even cheaper than dimensional lumber. I just bought most of our seed the other day and am starting to think of my bed layouts / planting dates. It's still a ways off, but a great time to plan. We get late blight, too but it's not SO bad we can't still manage a good crop. since yours is so severe, I have no doubt you'll have a great crop this year. And for your flower garden : consider perennial herbs. Thyme, rosemary, chives (as you mention), garlic chives, lavender, sage
Not a boring video at all! Bring on more gardening episodes! Also, I enjoy the tips from New England growers since we have a similar growing season here in Wisconsin.
Saw you guys in chronicle, and my family was super exited! We live out on East Rd in Greenfield, and raise goats and pigs, and do a farm stand every year. Nice to know you're here 😁
Great bit on Chronicle. They did a great job representing the channel. Have you ever thought of looking into something called an 'Earthtainer'? I think I have the name right. You take totes and make a self watering system for growing tomatoes and you can place them anywhere.
SO ready for spring. Took your idea of the movable greenhouse. Got one from amazon last week. I plan to attach it to pallets. Got a bx2680 last fall and ordering pallet forks here soon so I can move it as I need to.
🌱❤️ I ordered new planting flats yesterday. I went through my seeds already and now I’m ordering. My big ordering this winter is fruit trees for spring. ☮️-Kirsten.
Yup saw you on chronical! And I am glad! Many years ago I had a good size garden, but now I'm down to container gardening and I wish it was bigger. So when I plant seeds for squash or melons it seems like I get one or two plants that grow, but last year I didnt get any fruits or vegetables just the vines. Also how long do seeds keep?
Good morning. Ive started some zucchini, peppers, brussul sprouts and swiss chard. When taking them outside in pots is there a process on warm days 50 degrees and up to get them used to being outside?
Before you totally give up on in ground tomatoes try the red plastic mulch. That, combined with drip irrigation stops rain or whatever from splashing the spores up onto the plant. I had good luck with it last year. Oh, and there are much more boring videos on YT...
Snow is a pain, but it doesn’t really “hurt” anything. We don’t farrow litters of pigs here, and instead choose to purchase piglets in the spring from farmers we trust. That provides us the benefit of not having to worry about keeping and feeding pigs through winter when fencing becomes and issue and the pigs eat more just to keep warm. Egg production slows down, but that happens every winter since it’s based on the hours of light in the day. Really, the only thing that “hurts” is in the winter is the crunch of time needed to clear snow, and the cost of hiring someone to sand the driveway occasionally as things ice up. That and the fact we can’t just run a hose out to water the birds. Lots of hauling water.

Not boring at all. I really enjoy your videos!
I agree! Winter is integral to a successful growing season!! Congrats on your TV appearance!!!

Haha. Thanks. The whole time I was editing it, I was thinking of ways to make the topic interesting for fun to watch.

as the song said. you look good today. congrats on the T.V. show.
Great bit on Chronicle. They did a great job representing the channel. Have you ever thought of looking into something called an 'Earthtainer'? I think I have the name right. You take totes and make a self watering system for growing tomatoes and you can place them anywhere.
The system we are looking at building is similar to an Earthtainer, but smaller and more modular. Those are really cool though.
SO ready for spring. Took your idea of the movable greenhouse. Got one from amazon last week. I plan to attach it to pallets. Got a bx2680 last fall and ordering pallet forks here soon so I can move it as I need to.
Awesome! Let us know how it works out!
New subscriber here. Saw you on chronicle WMUR. Still buying seeds and will be planting cold hardy in the greenhouse soon. Not a boring video at all.

When's the Chronicle episode going to air?
New subscribers! Looking forward to your content! 🤗

I subscribed because I like gardening and also have a compact tractor.
Welcome! Glad to have you here!
Hi! Love your channel. What seeds do you typically use mid-March?

Oops, I guess I should have watched at bit more of the video.
All good!
Question, has less snow helped or hurt your operation at home this winter as of this posting?

Do ticks get to your garden?
What part of NH is this?
