Thank you!! Sexy or not, it is very useful to newbies and experienced alike. We can always learn something new from each other and get new information for something we've never realized or thought of. Thanks again for all the videos that you make to teach us new things.
Jacques , i’ve come to the conclusion that you are my favorite gardening channel on RUclips. I love how first of all you’re not about selling us proven winners, and secondly, you really know your stuff. I’ve been gardening for a long time and I learn things from you, I appreciate that. On other channels, I sometimes feel like it’s all about pretty and not about best practices. And of course, then there’s Kevins channel, I love his channel too and when you’re both on it you’re like a comedy team , you’re a perfect fit together. So there you go, great channel!
Content using Proven Winners' plants gets particularly tiresome since their plants aren't readily available in California. Bri from Blossom & Branch/Regenerative Gardening is a good follow for pretty and practical things.
I love my carrot flowers too! There are HUNDREDS of bees and flies and small bugs all over them 24/7, i actually might plant carrots in my front garden and leave them alone, it's like an even more prolific annual Yarrow, very beautiful.
I am using the leaves of my Borage plant for "chop and drop" on one of my tomatoes plants and skipping fertilizer every other week. I am using the Borage leaves as mulch and fertilizer. The plant is an Early Girl bush, getting tons of healthy looking fruit!
I think the most interesting thing about being a gardener is watching all the dozens of different bee, hover fly, and butterfly/moth varieties that come to our yard. It's almost zen if you just sit and chill in some shade watching them buzz around. 🥰
Just had my first substantial harvest this week (I'm in Canada). So far I have harvested 3 broccoli heads (2 of which were bigger than my head), 1 cauliflower (first one in 2 years that I manage to grow), a cabbage, two spring onions, 2 zucchinis, 4 small carrots and a cucumber. That's in a growing space of around 70 sqft
@@jacquesinthegarden yeah, I have a few remaining cabbages and the increases pest pressure really is starting to show. Good thing they only need a week or so to harvest. My collards on the other hand are basically just stems at this point, decided to leave them as a trap crop for now.
I find wandering about my own garden and dealing with whatever I happen across is my favorite part of gardening. This was a terrific example of that. Keep this type of content coming!. You and Kevin are both great educators.
DUDE!!! Honestly loved this video! This kind of content is fantastic and I absolutely love when you and Kevin do “Seed to Harvest” content. I’m literally storing up ALL THIS KNOWLEDGE for when my wife and I get a spot of our own. Btw she’s a HUGE fan of those gorgeous daisies! Keep it up man! Blessings!
I am trying the vertical grow method for my zucchini this year and all I can say is “Wow”! I’m getting massive amounts of squash without the monstrous sized plants. You just have to stay on top of keeping it tied up as it grows and cut all bottom leaves off. Simply amazing!
I really appreciate seeing these little normal tasks around the garden because I didn't grow up around any sort of gardening, so I have zero perspective on what normal daily garden tasks look like. It's really helpful to see this. ❤
Not going to lie, your flower garden inspired me to finally grow my own this year! I've always wanted to, and your content has been incredibly helpful during the process. My garden is a silly hodgepodge of color and pollinators, and I wouldn't have it any other way :)
I enjoy these videos that feel like we’re just walking around in the garden with you. More behind the scenes 💚 Love the Shasta daisies and carrot flowers!
You have truly developed your own style of gardening here among the greats. I've never seen anyone tie their flowers together like you have. It's both wild and somehow contained at the same time.
I turned to your video today after listening to my favorite sources for international news, all of which was sad. I love your flowers, especially the Shasta daisies. You’ve cheered me up, or Mother Nature has! I’m smiling & ready for re-planning my (hopeful) fall garden! 😊
Excellent, I setup my Instagram so that I never see any news because I wanted it to be gardens and food only! Its nice to have a space that is just chill.
I appreciate your laid-back clamer approach, I hate being yelled at, or having to listen to over the top talk.. Gardens should be a haven not an assault
I love this behind the scenes video, please continue to make more. I have learned a lot by just listening to you because as you are talking about one plant, you sometimes mention another one nearby that I am curious about, especially when you mention the names of the plants. I love your garden and techniques! Thank you for sharing you knowledge so freely. 💖💝
My garden has a lot of carrots that I let them grow to seeds every year and yeah their flowers so pretty and attract lots of pollinater.❤❤❤❤your garden.
This was a great video Jacques! I really enjoy seeing various things around the garden and getting little tips here and there, with flowers, cucumbers, egg plant, etc. I especially appreciated you planting out those "old" peppers. Haha makes me feel better to know it's not just me with some plants hanging around a bit too long before planting out 😂
That chop and drop bed is so inspiring though....I am definitely giving that a shot this next spring! We added several new raised beds this year, and I can tell the plants aren't too happy with the soil we bought. Fava beans will fix it! 😁
to answer your Q - basically love ALL the content. all of it is a teaching moment. i'd like to hear about your sunflowers. like, are you planting them, are they all volunteer at this point?
My favorite cucumber has been the "Merlin" variety from Burpee. Incredible numbers of fruits and since I grow them up a vertical string the fruits all stay pretty much perfectly straight. A good eater and wonderful for refrigerator pickles. Thanks again for the informative content!
@17:40 😂Was JUST pushing the button to leave--when I heard you mention a Zenia! Well now, you answered an unasked question! I just found a small volunteer ALREADY blooming. So NOW, I will take you along to go and cut off the blossom❤
You’re such a clear and concise communicator. Thank you for posting this even about simple tasks like tying off flowers since I’m a newbie. Your corn is legit - I’m from Indiana so I would know 😂
Love the flower tips, for me so much of that kind of thing is new, and honestly unexpected, I just assume if flowers grow a certain way, you can just forget about it, (compared to the vegetable garden which we've done a lot of trellising/staking because they grow something heavy on them) but very quickly I've found that, sometimes, they just need a bit of help to not look like an entire crazy forest. We have some variety of peony, and the flowers are bonkers HUGE and absolutely need twine to keep them from just being on the ground, not sure if its normal for that plant or if its doing "too good" hahaha. But I also still really struggle to fill in my garden at the moment. I'm glad we've had more flowers than we started with, but I still feel like our garden is just pretty sad in terms of any form of aesthetics. And I really want most of my filler plants/flowers to be mostly perennial just to help with year to year maintenance!
I love bachelor buttons they so beautiful. They bring bees and stuff to garden immediately and they come in such beautiful brilliant colors! My garden had blues and pinks and purples.....I did a wildflower mix with alot of the same flowers as you have. It is one of my fav parts of my garden I'm making from scratch!
Dear Jacques, I appreciate so much, how your channel is not only about, how much you have harvested, but also (mostly) very educational. Thank you so much. You are a big inspiration. XX
Coincidence- I’m not copying you. I just sowed BI Martian Jewels today. I got just a few last year but it was the best corn I ever ate, tied with Allure. Hopefully it will be ready last week Sept/early Oct. Allure had 90% germination and is growing so fast in our 80-90 degrees. I’m also sharing the bed with Mello yellow 55 day beans. You and Kevin had those videos encouraging us to plant quick stuff so I took your advice. Preciate you!
I love carrot flowers, as do the pollinator insects. Always leave some carrots in the ground to flower the next year. Just have to catch them before they set seed. Let them go one year and my entire bed was nothing but volunteer carrots. It killed me to pull out so many volunteers, but needed them to share space with other crops.
Just what I needed for my flower beds (yarrow can spread!!), and my zucchini and cucumber plants. Thank you for your gift of gardening (in my zone too) and gab. While your garden is still way above mine, I feel as if I can relate to it quite well.
Garden's looking great - Thanks for sharing! I quite enjoy the informal style of gardening videos, so if you enjoy making those I say keep'em coming. Best wishes
I had no idea shasta daisies were so gigantic when I grew some from seed 2 years ago! I think some will have to go because they block so much sun...fortunately some were well placed and can stay.
Just now found you, love how you talk and explain everything. You are not boring at all, I subscribed. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge of gardening .
Hi Jacques, I love your style. You are a natural teacher and present information that is easily digestible and practical. I also like your hat, but couldn't easily buy it online without paying a crazy shipping fee. Bought a similar one for myself on REI. Could you please do a video on tying knots? Keep up the excellent work. Thanks.
Haha knots are a big weakness for me I basically just overhand knot everything until it stops moving! But I agree, we tried exploring selling the hats but the shipping is pretty rough
Sir!! I love and adore your Garden... I hope someday i can take a Visit in your Colorful Garden... and to know more more types and species of your plants in your garden and it's Medicinal Uses.
Oh yay! just ordered Katrina seeds from Johnnys. I've discovered that parthinocopic plants have the additional benefit of being a little easier on the stomach, which is amazing because I can eat my body weight in cucumbers. These multi-topic garden task/tip videos are my absolute favorite BTW, I discovered Nature's Willow from Garden Answer and its really amazing for the light arthritis in my hands (thanks for nothing PhD) that gets exacerbated when I weed and prune for too long. It really does help!
I'm living vicariously thru you Jacques. I live in Texas (aka Hades). We were in a heat dome for the last couple of weeks hitting 100+ heat days. I think our highest was 104. Thank God it hasn't been no repeat of 2000 when our highest was said to be 111. Keep growing my favorite hermit gardener and more videos 👏👏👏.
Flowers is something I severely slacked on this season. I know that Sunflowers and Borage will self seed to return again, but I am thinking of PERENNIAL flowers to make life a little easier in the future.
Hi Jacques! Thanks so much for these videos! I love the Shasta daisy support you have! Could you give a small more detailed video of how you set that up, please? Not sure if it’s a special pulley knot you used to get it in place. Thanks again 😊
Basically, cut back vines with no grapes in them and then prune vines back to 1 or 2 leafs last the last cluster of grapes! This is a good starting point
That was one of the best videos I've watched! So many techniques that I hadn't seen before, and I'm excited to implement in my own garden now! Thank you, and more please!
I'd love to see the extra videos... I'm still new to planting and having gardening knowledge so I really like how you approach explaining topics and showing things in very easy to digest ways ;w;
I spent last Saturday doing most of my pruning and feeding! The chop and drop was quite helpful because I had some quite vigorous cover crops that needed to be terminated to make way for my corn and tomatoes!
I love these techniques! Yes please, do more of these kind of videos. I learn so much. I love the flower and the ruler trick. What kind of twine do you use?
Excellent video! It's my first year gardening and I've learned so much from you and Kevin already. I'd love to see some more fruit tree care videos. I've got a persimmon and apple tree that aren't doing so well :0
You already have the T-posts just add hog wire and do a zig zag with string to that for tomatoes. Much easier. Some flowers do much better and grow sturdier if not crowded, zinnias are one. Love the Shasta Daisy and I accidentally cut the tops off trimming poppies🤦♀️. One year they grew over 5’. Love the info of what happened to fruit/veg that are deformed.
Please do give us more behind the scenes.
Happy to do more of these!
Thank you!! Sexy or not, it is very useful to newbies and experienced alike. We can always learn something new from each other and get new information for something we've never realized or thought of. Thanks again for all the videos that you make to teach us new things.
Agreed!!! Love the extra tips
@@jacquesinthegardenWe need to what's in that Shed! LOL.

True words spoken.
Content using Proven Winners' plants gets particularly tiresome since their plants aren't readily available in California. Bri from Blossom & Branch/Regenerative Gardening is a good follow for pretty and practical things.
Preach
I totally agree with you! Thank you for your words. I feel the same.
I love the carpenter's ruler trick. I struggle to measure on a diagonal to maximize space. This will make a difference.
I love my carrot flowers too! There are HUNDREDS of bees and flies and small bugs all over them 24/7, i actually might plant carrots in my front garden and leave them alone, it's like an even more prolific annual Yarrow, very beautiful.
i thought it looked a bit like yarrow, too.
Totally! It is insane how much life they bring, way more bees on these carrot flowers instead of my yarrow!
Try parsnips too:)
I’m going to grow carrot flowers next year! Perhaps a carrot flower and dill patch. And salvia for a pop of color!
Appreciate you keeping us updated on that chop n drop bed. 🙏🏼
I am using the leaves of my Borage plant for "chop and drop" on one of my tomatoes plants and skipping fertilizer every other week. I am using the Borage leaves as mulch and fertilizer. The plant is an Early Girl bush, getting tons of healthy looking fruit!
@@MPOULLdo you think it’s making a difference? I’ve been dropping comfrey leaves in my beds and I think it has helped plants it is near.
@tiffanyhayden-yx8ip yes, my peas, tomatoes, flowers have definitely benefitted from the chop n drop of Borage leaves
I think the most interesting thing about being a gardener is watching all the dozens of different bee, hover fly, and butterfly/moth varieties that come to our yard. It's almost zen if you just sit and chill in some shade watching them buzz around. 🥰
I have never in my life paid so much attention to insects as I have this year. I’m completely amazed by what I used to always just walk in by.

So far I have harvested 3 broccoli heads (2 of which were bigger than my head), 1 cauliflower (first one in 2 years that I manage to grow), a cabbage, two spring onions, 2 zucchinis, 4 small carrots and a cucumber. That's in a growing space of around 70 sqft
That's an awesome harvest! By the time my cucumbers are ready it's basically aphid and cabbage moth season for brassicas!
@@jacquesinthegarden yeah, I have a few remaining cabbages and the increases pest pressure really is starting to show. Good thing they only need a week or so to harvest. My collards on the other hand are basically just stems at this point, decided to leave them as a trap crop for now.

Tying up flowers 💐 who’d have thought 😅 sometimes it is the simplest solution that works the best! ❤
You literally became an expert in two years!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Not an expert yet, but hopefully continuing to improve!
It was so cool to see the full turn around on the chop and drop bed! Your garden is so beautiful!
I grew sweet corn this year in a 4x4 block, but 1 side gets more sun and is maturing faster.Picked 5 cobs and they were 1/2 eaten by worms 🐛🌽
Try putting a post with a bat/ bird house nearby. I hope this helps.
Il be posting some content on corn and corn ear worms, but it can be an extremely frustrating venture!
Please do ! More behind the scenes.
Such a beautiful garden you have 😊
Behind the scenes please 🙏 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 yes yes!!
Love this "puttering in the garden" video. This is how I garden every day. Just a little of this and a little of that.
Yes I'm insanely jealous of those dense flowers!
That chop and drop bed is so inspiring though....I am definitely giving that a shot this next spring! We added several new raised beds this year, and I can tell the plants aren't too happy with the soil we bought. Fava beans will fix it! 😁
A cover crop is a great way to jumpstart the soil again!
to answer your Q - basically love ALL the content. all of it is a teaching moment. i'd like to hear about your sunflowers. like, are you planting them, are they all volunteer at this point?
I can do a sunflower video for sure! All of these were seeded by me as either transplants or direct sown, and I have a new round going in now!
Cant believe its just twine 😊 I will try this around my flowers. Your garden looks great Jacques
My favorite cucumber has been the "Merlin" variety from Burpee. Incredible numbers of fruits and since I grow them up a vertical string the fruits all stay pretty much perfectly straight. A good eater and wonderful for refrigerator pickles. Thanks again for the informative content!
Nice, sounds like another winner!
Yup, appreciate this kind of little tips. 😊
Great vertical gardening. Jacque you have perfected simplicity. Twine and a stake.😊
So jelly of your daisies. Here in Jersey when it rains it ruins the actual flower. Yours are stunning!!!

Jacques, I can’t tell you how many valuable tips I get from your vids, and I’ve gardened for about 12 years now. Thank you!!
Great to hear!
yes, please! i enjoy chore/harvest videos quite a lot. they remind me of how it felt gardening alongside others at the allotment.
also, your daisies are simply beautiful.

Hi, Jacque. Loved the behind the scenes video.
I’d love to see some behind the scenes videos! It’s like saying, “wanna know a secret?”
Willow bark- aspirin. It works great for aches and pains. Great product.
Jacques, have a good gardening day.
Beautiful arden and flowers!
Sir!! I love and adore your Garden... I hope someday i can take a Visit in your Colorful Garden... and to know more more types and species of your plants in your garden and it's Medicinal Uses.
Oh yay! just ordered Katrina seeds from Johnnys. I've discovered that parthinocopic plants have the additional benefit of being a little easier on the stomach, which is amazing because I can eat my body weight in cucumbers. These multi-topic garden task/tip videos are my absolute favorite BTW, I discovered Nature's Willow from Garden Answer and its really amazing for the light arthritis in my hands (thanks for nothing PhD) that gets exacerbated when I weed and prune for too long. It really does help!
I was pleasantly surprised by how much it helped as well. That's very interesting about parthinocopic plants and digestion as well!
I'm living vicariously thru you Jacques. I live in Texas (aka Hades). We were in a heat dome for the last couple of weeks hitting 100+ heat days. I think our highest was 104. Thank God it hasn't been no repeat of 2000 when our highest was said to be 111. Keep growing my favorite hermit gardener and more videos 👏👏👏.
OOF, that kind of intense heat is so rare here, don't know you guys do it!
Oh we live like vampires 🤭. Only coming out at nighttime.
I love the carpenter ruler template tip!
Very handy tool, discovered it when I tried to do triangle planting
Very informative and such a beautiful garden space! Love your style and content presentation!
Everything you grow is so beautiful thank you
Thank you!
Flowers is something I severely slacked on this season. I know that Sunflowers and Borage will self seed to return again, but I am thinking of PERENNIAL flowers to make life a little easier in the future.
Totally! They solve a lot of garden planning and provide year round benefits and beauty !
Hi Jacques! Thanks so much for these videos! I love the Shasta daisy support you have! Could you give a small more detailed video of how you set that up, please? Not sure if it’s a special pulley knot you used to get it in place. Thanks again 😊
Excellent format…enjoyed it.
Yes, please!
Awesome tour! more please!
Jacques, you are THE BEST!!!!!!
I need your grape pruning step 2 video ASAP! I cut one back, but now idk what to do next for the mid season clean up
Basically, cut back vines with no grapes in them and then prune vines back to 1 or 2 leafs last the last cluster of grapes! This is a good starting point
Jacques your garden is absolutely beautiful!!
That was one of the best videos I've watched! So many techniques that I hadn't seen before, and I'm excited to implement in my own garden now! Thank you, and more please!

I spent last Saturday doing most of my pruning and feeding! The chop and drop was quite helpful because I had some quite vigorous cover crops that needed to be terminated to make way for my corn and tomatoes!
Should be a good corn and tomato crop!
You're brave touching that zucchini plant without gloves 😂 I don't like to use gloves when I'm gardening but definitely use them on the zucchini😂
Why is that? I've never grown zucchini
Me, too-except they still majorly scratch up my arms.
They are spiny but I have become so used to it that I just automatically touch them lightly and never really get hit by them!
I love these techniques! Yes please, do more of these kind of videos. I learn so much. I love the flower and the ruler trick. What kind of twine do you use?
Love ALL your videos, Jacques So informative and easy to watch!! from Southeast Missouri
Excellent video! It's my first year gardening and I've learned so much from you and Kevin already. I'd love to see some more fruit tree care videos. I've got a persimmon and apple tree that aren't doing so well :0
I'm working on learning more about the fruit trees! They are the newest endeavor for me currently!
You already have the T-posts just add hog wire and do a zig zag with string to that for tomatoes. Much easier. Some flowers do much better and grow sturdier if not crowded, zinnias are one.
Love the Shasta Daisy and I accidentally cut the tops off trimming poppies🤦♀️. One year they grew over 5’.
Love the info of what happened to fruit/veg that are deformed.
Yes, love the garden maintenance videos!
Oh! Do a vid on how to plant out older starts when avavailability is at issue? I had that with Toms and cabbage and know I'll have it again for fall
I tend to strip off any flowers/fruits and any really bad leaves then usually will give a light liquid fertilizer dose
Very useful video! More please
Thanks for the tutorial!
I'm learning so much from you!
