Mrs H.,I JUST ADORE YOU AND MR. H, have been watching your channel for about a year off&on, I have been growing a little but I would love to grow a lot, I love the pond and everything else, you guys are magnetic, keep that spirit.
Mrs. H. We 💜 you so much, and your funny giggle or laugh, that even the insects are attracted to/by you. In your other video that butterfly couldn't stay away from your hat 3x's or more, it left and came back. Continue to do and let the seed that God has planted in you grow. God has great plans for you. You speak of Him often so I know that you are not ashamed of Him. He will reward you openly 💜.
Thanks Mrs. H. I am so excited to let you know that I have now purchased a pressure canner to go to the next level of my canning. I have already canned some foods from my garden through the water bath method but now I am ready to move forward with my new pressure canner. I already know how to pressure can because I grew up watching my mother (who has now gone home to be with the Lord) do it. I am so grateful for this precious gift that she left behind for her children because now more than ever do we need to have this knowledge of what to do for self sustainability. I am also preparing my fall garden as well and thanks to you and Mr. H. I am in my second year of gardening after being reawakened from something that I should have been maintaining all along, but hey, better late than never at all right? You guys put the fire and inspiration back into my life, I say once again, thank you and God bless. To all of the gardening families near and far, may prosperity and abundance be upon each of your gardens and may your cupboards and pantries suffer no lack, we are all in this together, and we really can do this.
Mrs. H- I finished planting my fall garden today :) I pulled out my broccoli, cauliflower, snow/sugar peas and replaced with more "groceries" :) I was finishing up my row of beans and my son who was helping said there's a storm rolling through. Lol, I looked up and see these dark clouds over head but had to finish getting those beans into the ground. I no further stepped foot into the house and it poured! I said God wanted to make sure I got those beans in today haha. Free water for the seeds too, hooray :)
Zone 7 here. Started first time a month ago 3 sisters garden for first time. Corn then pole beans to climb up stalks, pole beans bring nitrogen to the corn, squash helps keep critters away from corn. Critters hate stepping on squash leaves. Going to plants turn ups next
Love how I knew a few of the names you mentioned 😊 1st year gardener and I have been on post 😊. Everything is everything in zone 8/A. Love your sprit ❤. And you not lying about that watering errrvy day😂❤
Well I took your advice started a garden . I am 66 and not a gardener . I am on a very low income . I tore down my old free couch since my cat ruined it anyway(lol) . The wood was good enough to make a garden bed with the help of my brother . I have planted all kinds of veggies and they are coming up great ! Praying I can keep them alive .
Karen check your local stores and even Amazon you can purchase seeds with EBT. Just trying to help. Some people don’t know this. Walmart may offer this idk.
I'm from south Ga and the fall is when we plant our turnips,cabbage,broccoli,cauliflower,ect. Cause they taste a whole lot better when the frost gets on them for the first time man what a flavor difference lol
Thank you Mrs H. For being positive and encouraging to others ! You are down to earth ! Never change dear! Now I am ready to get started! I have had the worst luck with my soul for the past 3 years. I planted green pepper and zucchini squash this year! Know luck with tomato plants ! I got 2 zucchini off of one plant 3 peppers off of another! I am going to do a raise garden for the fall. I am going to be positive. It is going to work with Gods blessings. Blessings to you !
Zone 8 in the house! Looking for some things to pop in some containers…. That will be done by the middle of October. Going to Cali the end of October for Mom’s 89th birthday. Hubs will let everything left die…God love him
I have always loved growing beets that my Mom planted and then the canning process was always so fun when I got home from school! Mom made canning fun and not a chore - I'll never forget that about her (RIP Jan 2022 😢) and Grandma, her Mom (RIP Oct 2020 😢). I'm the only one in my childhood family carrying on the tradition of canning at this point and for the first time in my life, I'm "flying solo" (mid 30's) and it's a little daunting to be honest. I just don't have either of them to ask questions or hear stories from anymore so I'd best have listened closely to what they taught me over the years. Anyhow, I HATE eating beets, but I love growing and canning them, it's just a fun process! I even saved the beet juice they had pre-cooked in the last time I canned them in 2013. I said I hated to waste the beet juice that was leftover and could we can it? Mom replied "Well... idk, but what would you do with it?" I replied "Idk right now, I suppose I'll figure that out later but we have room in the canner, so let's can it!" So we did. It turned out, 9 years later, I still had that canned beet juice that I had saved the last time we had canned beets, possibly to color sewing material a purple color?? 🤷🤷🤷 --- 9 years later I still hadn't figured out what to do with it, that while Mom was on palliative and then hospice care, she needed high protein smoothies, she loved the flavor of beets, and that beet juice was perfect for those smoothies that we had saved all those years ago together. God works in mysterious ways, huh? 🙏🙏🙏
Oh, I recently discovered if you cut beets up in very small cubes and mix them with other veggies, they aren't all that bad. Mom always cut them into "mouth-full" wedges, canned them, later we opened them to eat, heated them up on the stove, and that's precisely how we ate them, no seasoning or spices, or even a hint of butter. That's a lot of beet all at once! 🤢🤮🤮 If you add some sort of spices (garlic's my go-to, and even a hint of butter, and chop them up in small cubes, maybe mix them with other root veggies like carrots, potatoes, parsnips, they really aren't all that bad. It becomes edible with some assistance imo. But straight beets all by themselves in large wedges? Blah!!! 🤮
@@return2basics249 Thank you for sharing your precious story. ❤️ The skills from your Mom and Grandma live on in you. That's so special and a wonderful memory of the use of your beet juice. I'm glad you told us about it, very heart-warming. :) God bless you!
Mrs. H., You have been my inspiration! I just enjoy your channel so much and the encouragement that you give everyone. With all the depressing news, the doom and gloom channels makes me as a 58 yrs old single woman with no one but myself scared to death!! Your channel calms and encourages me. Thank you xoxo
I LOVE LEEKS. Easy to grow you'll love them in anything you would put onions in. They was super easy to grow.They dehydrat great. I'm excited for you to try them! Plant plenty for you and Mr. H. Thank you so much for all the great GRW YOUR GROCERIES tips.
I've started brocolli, cabbage, carrots (yes they germinated in July in NC!), onions, leeks, and replanted green beans, zucchini, and determinate tomatoes...oh and more cucumbers
Hello Hello Hello! I'm so excited and tired of the youngens eating up my pantry, I went and dug up 2 nieces backyard to be ready for next year. Now, since seeing this; I'm gonna plant them a Fall garden! Love this channel. So informative❤ Also, I found 2 cases of 1/2 gallon Ball Jars for $15. each. I got them because they charge the same for one at most stores. Thanks for everything!!!
Hello from a newbie. I guess I would consider myself one because it's been probably 30 years since I had a garden. Plan to start. Appreciate your enthusiasm and you're encouragement.
Hello beloved !!!!!! Mr. H how do you feel about clearance meat???? I got $8.98 lb turkey today for $3.03 and beef roast for $2.70 (sale price not reduced) and chicken for $3.00 a lb clearance I’m waiting for my all American 🇺🇸 cooker Thursday and will be canning all the meat 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 the clearance meat I put in the freezer till I can can it I saved A LOT!!!!!! Blessings!!!!!
Leeks. Onion seeds don't keep but one or two years. I started some in a gallon pot. In oct or Nov, I will transplant them 6" apart and 9" to 30" btwn rows, depending if I'm intercropping. Plant them a few inches deep. umm.. the guy in England who does No Till... yeah.. Charles Dowdimg... does a great planting video. Beet greens are excellent. If you don't like the roots, feed the animals the roots after a month or two of greens. Lettuce and greens- it's a bit early here. I think I'm a zone 8 in Spring and a 9 in Fall. Mid Sept is my best time for the stuff that bolts easy. I may start some indoors mid to late August. I love having a few plants of red mizuna and sorrel in my salad bed. Romaine is probably the most heat tolerant, followed by black seeded Simpson, then deer tongue... at least from what I've grown so far. I like to transplant a dozen plants into a 4 X 6 planter, them sow seeds btwn for a longer harvest. If your garden doesn't freeze, perpetual spinach is a great substitute for spinach. Don't know what I'd do without you and other motivators. My garden is doing poorly. But you all keep me hoping. I put in a few seeds of cucumbers, started a pot of leeks, a few square feet of carrots. Today after watching you all, I planted a few raised beds with Anasazi soup beans, basil, and more carrots. That's for keeping me hoping next season will be better. Some things are experiments... That helps too.
I think the only golden beets I've had were on a store bought salad.🤷🏻♀️ Grew some regular beets about four years ago. I love the earthy flavor. Only thing is that I ate too many and got scared when I went to the bathroom, lol. Thought I had some kind of UTI or something.🤦♀️🤣
A lot of people don't think of that when they eat beets I would always tell my parents from my home daycare Business when I gave their kids beets and red velvet cake so they wouldn't freak out when they went to the potty.😱
Hello HH! I live in zone 7ish. Some neighbors were over a couple of weeks ago with a load of their copious cousins to buy some of my tomato overage. As they were leaving I walked over to pick up the hose pipe nozzle, for at the time the rain had failed and I had some watering to do. When I bent over I let out a nice groan. When I straightened up I casually looked back at the departing folks only to see them looking at me with shocked faces. Quickly assessing the developing situation I hollered to them that I always make noises when I bend over. Everything AOK. The other day a vid popped up on my scream. The gardener was complaining that he had the lousiest garden ever. Did a whole video on that. So, since I had one of my best gardens ever, in the midst of local folks complaining how awful their gardens were this year I left a comment offering to tell the videographer how I did it... 40+ years of experiments, grand fails, etc. leading to the way to doing it the right way. Well, he kindly wrote back telling me in so many words that he planned on doing it next year like he did it this year. Oooof!
Hi 👋 newbie here. I'm in Ireland ( think I'm in zone 9) and leeks, beets and turnip are staples for us. Lekks like soft light soil. I usually add some sand to my rich clay-type soil. I can leave leeks in the ground over winter and just pull as needed. Turnip and beets grow in most soil types and again can be over-wintered in the ground. They all love damp wet weather so perfect for growing in Ireland! Keep them watered well.
I love watching you and your videos. I've been canning 53 years and still I learn from others. Absolutely wonderful. You do an absolutely wonderful step-by-step tutorial on all of your videos. Thank you sooooo much!!!!
Oooh, I have some grey zucchini, my spring/summer zucchini and squash told me to try again next year😆so did my tomatoes, peppers and okra but my feelings weren't hurt cause this being my first year, I told myself this is for learning, don't expect to harvest too much. I was only going to be doing the cushaw and patty squash for fall, you have inspired me to do a few others😊
Have recently discovered your channel and have already fallen in love with your energy, common sense, and delightful laugh. Appreciate your canning instructions and now gardening advice. Looking forward to exploring more of your videos. God bless!
Hi,,, you are so fun to watch.. I don’t garden, very cautious with water here in calif. plus we have a lot of local farmers in our area, for now anyway! However , I will be canning meat soon, we have chickens for eggs and meat, sheep, pheasants, and a couple beef we will be harvesting this fall.. Just now getting fired up to stock up! I know,, late bloomer! 🤪 Don’t have good soil here for a good garden and my chickens are free range, so I d rather have the animals than a garden.. I will be stocking up on canned goods as well… it gets so hot here for 3 mths of the year so I’m having to make room in my home where I can manage the heat better for storage. Anyway, all that to say, thank you for your time and effort. I appreciate you so much. You are inspiring me to prepare for whatever is coming, and something is coming!!! God Bless you and your family… 🥰
Please look up Robbie and Gary garden easy. They are in Calif. she grows mainly in 18 gal totes. Squash, tomatoes, carrots, onions, lettuce, collards. You name it she most likely has it growing. Maybe that would help you to grow a few vegetables you don’t have to have a tiller and good dirt she’ll show you what to do!
Spiced pickled beets don’t taste like dirt, they are delicious. Love your channel! We got too hot too quick so going to try the fall garden, Zone 8 here in TX
Yaaaayyyyy, I'm not a new gardener, the spring was my beginning but I'm starting my fall garden this week. I purchased your cushaw seeds and been waiting to plant them. I have 10 packs so I'm going to do some in the ground and in pots. It's going to be a great learning experience, I also have 1 pack of your luffas gonna try one seed for experimental purposes 😊I thinking I have a patty squash, too.🤔
Hoss has a super sweet beet called, Merlin, that is not supposed to taste like a mouthful of dirt. We're trying those and a golden beet variety this fall. Happy gardening!
LOOOOVVVE this! I'm in south FL, 10B, our best planting for conventional type veggies is in the fall. We can do tropical veggies over summer but I want some "regular" stuff too. Right now I have my beds solarizing so they will be ready to start in a few weeks. Everyone give it a try, you have nothing to lose.
My parents gardened. We had no choice but help. When my children were younger I gardened some but stopped after a few medical issues. I have started back and even though I knew some things I am learning A LOT!! Planted things I have never been exposed to. Planted 5 fruit trees and 5 berry bushes. Never had a fall garden. But I’m going to try carrots and maybe collards.
Mrs H I really needed to hear your heartfelt accent in your adorable pink overalls. Where did you get them? Texas weather has been so discouraging & you're so wonderfully encouraging. 💖
SoilSista I absolutely love this!! Powerful message... We are blessed to have Baker Creek as an awesome sponsor and we are giving away tons of Fall Seeds to help our beautiful community grow!! Come on SoilBrotha's and SoilSista's let's grow and raise our own groceries ❣️
Love all of this. Growing leeks from seed for the first time but been growing starts for years and we always get 2 crops from each leek. We just cut at the base, leave the root and base in the ground, and within days it starts to grow back. Thank you for sharing.
I'm not far from you in Talladega Co. Alabama. I just sowed seeds for Lemon Squash, and Yellow Scalloped Squash today. I started seeds for carrots, rutabagas, and turnips the first week of July, and they are doing well. I'll be harvesting a batch of potatoes in a day or two, and replanting. Later this week, I will be sowing seeds for Yod Fah, Chinese cabbage, Bok Choy, and a second succession of turnips. September is my big planting month. I didn't have any luck growing beets this spring. It got too hot too fast. I will be trying them again next month.
What i would love to see as a collab is how you use some of the less common veggies once you grow them...i did not come from a gardening family so we really only ate the common summer veggies. I have never eaten turnips or rutabaga so i wouldn't know what to do with it.
Steam the turnips and mash em with butter and cream, salt and pepper. Delicious! You also may can them and do this in the winter too. The greens are more important to me even than the root as I give my chickens the greens as they grow and then when harvested. I think some of the root veggies are great in casseroles cut up with anything from rosemary and garlic with butter or olive oil, or with a cheese sauce.
I'm a brand new gardener and don't really know what I'm doing! Haha. And I'm just gardening in pots. But I love watching you! You got me excited about the cool weather crops! I'm getting tired of this heat! My tomatoes did great for a couple months but now leaves are turning yellow and not as many tomatoes. To hot? Or anything else I need to know? I had 4 huge beautiful cucumber plants covered with yellow flowers! But didn't have any other flowers, marigolds etc, to draw pollinators so no cukes! Plants just died. My first potatoe crop I harvested to soon and they were tiny! So now I know to leave them in longer at least 90 days I planted some more and should be ready around September 20th👍 I also have 4 pots of sweet potatoes growing and some sweet peppers and basil. I want carrots, lettuces, and squash. I just pray I will eventually get some good food out of all this work.😀 I won't give up! I'm enjoying my tomatoes and basil so far! 😄👍
Thank you so much Mrs. H! I had never heard of cushaw squash until watching your channel last year. I got seeds from your store last year and they are more resistant to the pests. They grew prolifically and taste delicious. I froze a lot of it. They did great! Lord willing I'll be harvesting more this year! Many Blessings to you all! 💚💚💚
"Grow them Groceries!" ⚘💜🤗 Mrs.Heart, your just amazing and so upbeat. Im planting more seed today too...and every other day, for the next 2 weeks. Started dropping new seeds, as of last week. 😉 fall harvest will be awesome!
Yes! Starting a garden in late summer is amazing. The plants start off strong and then it cools but not too cold. Congratulations to y'all new gardeners! Zone 7 here and we grow so much. I have peppercorn this year and as I'm told that is rare around here. Just do the thing and grow the stuff!!!
Don't forget to were gloves and use a cutting board when you prepare the red beats they stain everything. Love this inspiring video ❤ ps didn't see what onions your going to grow I love the red ones myself but the only thing I can get to grow in my yard is a red Welsh onion I got from bakers creek thease onions are awsum they have a strong flavor and can be used for everything you need onions for I think they mite be my forever onion for my garden I want to try your cushaw I think it looks butiful and that looks like a lot of food just from 1of them can feed a lot of people ❤
Hi Homestead Heart. I am happy to see you doing the Fall garden. I am up for all the tips & suggestions I can get. Glad to say I planted a Lemon seed 2 weeks ago and I see a little plant coming up. I ❤️ Squash. The yellow ones especially. I will be trying the Cushaw. Thanks for the video.
I love your smile! I'm on the same page in planting out seeds for my fall garden. I just plant the seeds in between the summer crops, they will be shaded until my summer crops move out. I allow purslane to run rampant through my garden beds to act as ground cover. I eat the leaves raw or cook with them, my chickens enjoy them but my pigs absolutely love love the whole plant roots and all. Anytime I need to plant something I just pull up some of the purslane feed it to the pigs and then there's beautiful loose soil to plant in. I call that a win-win!
Mrs. H., your positive energy is infectious!! We all could use this positive attitude right now. We can do this!!!
❤❤❤
Yesssss She got me enjoying my harvest and canning Everything... 😁😁 I love her!
I came here to say exactly this! ♥️
Big facts to all the new Gardeners, We can grow our own groceries

You got this Brenda!!! Do it girl!!!

Will start this weekend on a fall garden. Our first!
Somebody gave my son some golden beets. I canned them. There sweet tasting. I love them. Blessings for you and your family 💖
I think the only golden beets I've had were on a store bought salad.🤷🏻♀️ Grew some regular beets about four years ago. I love the earthy flavor. Only thing is that I ate too many and got scared when I went to the bathroom, lol. Thought I had some kind of UTI or something.🤦♀️🤣
A lot of people don't think of that when they eat beets I would always tell my parents from my home daycare Business when I gave their kids beets and red velvet cake so they wouldn't freak out when they went to the potty.😱
Hello HH! I live in zone 7ish. Some neighbors were over a couple of weeks ago with a load of their copious cousins to buy some of my tomato overage. As they were leaving I walked over to pick up the hose pipe nozzle, for at the time the rain had failed and I had some watering to do. When I bent over I let out a nice groan. When I straightened up I casually looked back at the departing folks only to see them looking at me with shocked faces. Quickly assessing the developing situation I hollered to them that I always make noises when I bend over. Everything AOK.
The other day a vid popped up on my scream. The gardener was complaining that he had the lousiest garden ever. Did a whole video on that. So, since I had one of my best gardens ever, in the midst of local folks complaining how awful their gardens were this year I left a comment offering to tell the videographer how I did it... 40+ years of experiments, grand fails, etc. leading to the way to doing it the right way. Well, he kindly wrote back telling me in so many words that he planned on doing it next year like he did it this year. Oooof!
Hi 👋 newbie here. I'm in Ireland ( think I'm in zone 9) and leeks, beets and turnip are staples for us. Lekks like soft light soil. I usually add some sand to my rich clay-type soil. I can leave leeks in the ground over winter and just pull as needed. Turnip and beets grow in most soil types and again can be over-wintered in the ground. They all love damp wet weather so perfect for growing in Ireland! Keep them watered well.
Shalom that's my family good evening Miss Hart hello brother age get started it's a good thing love y'all keep pushing shalom
I see that your Leek seeds are from MI Gardener. I’ve had good success with his seeds. Hope you do as well! LOVE your channel! God bless!
I love watching you and your videos. I've been canning 53 years and still I learn from others. Absolutely wonderful. You do an absolutely wonderful step-by-step tutorial on all of your videos. Thank you sooooo much!!!!
Thanks for being you! I feel like I CAN do this now! 💖
just harvesting and saving Pok Choi and Mustard seeds! Thank you ❤
My bok choy didnt do anything. I was so looking forward to it.
@@jillbayer641 Try again in the fall?
Oooh, I have some grey zucchini, my spring/summer zucchini and squash told me to try again next year😆so did my tomatoes, peppers and okra but my feelings weren't hurt cause this being my first year, I told myself this is for learning, don't expect to harvest too much. I was only going to be doing the cushaw and patty squash for fall, you have inspired me to do a few others😊
Hello Mrs H and everyone 🥰❤️
Thank you Homestead Heart. You are great. We had the best onion harvest ever from your recomendations. Yes, grow your own groceries!
"Leekologists" 😂 I love growing Leeks and have been regrowing them from leftovers in my balcony garden. They grow back so fast
If you don't like the beet roots, eat some of the greens. My favorite!
I grow beets for the greens
Have recently discovered your channel and have already fallen in love with your energy, common sense, and delightful laugh. Appreciate your canning instructions and now gardening advice. Looking forward to exploring more of your videos. God bless!
Hi,,, you are so fun to watch.. I don’t garden, very cautious with water here in calif. plus we have a lot of local farmers in our area, for now anyway! However , I will be canning meat soon, we have chickens for eggs and meat, sheep, pheasants, and a couple beef we will be harvesting this fall.. Just now getting fired up to stock up! I know,, late bloomer! 🤪 Don’t have good soil here for a good garden and my chickens are free range, so I d rather have the animals than a garden.. I will be stocking up on canned goods as well… it gets so hot here for 3 mths of the year so I’m having to make room in my home where I can manage the heat better for storage. Anyway, all that to say, thank you for your time and effort. I appreciate you so much. You are inspiring me to prepare for whatever is coming, and something is coming!!! God Bless you and your family… 🥰
Please look up Robbie and Gary garden easy. They are in Calif. she grows mainly in 18 gal totes. Squash, tomatoes, carrots, onions, lettuce, collards. You name it she most likely has it growing. Maybe that would help you to grow a few vegetables you don’t have to have a tiller and good dirt she’ll show you what to do!
@@edithking975 I don’t understand?
@@annhendrick8681 They also use Kiddie pools to save on water.
Yes we can do it on with the planting! Because growing your own is the best way to go ❣️ Thanks Mrs. Heart for sharing 🙏💜
Zone 9b here central valley Cali, started my fall seeds today ❤️ thanks for the motivation Mrs.H!
I love it! I never knew about Fall gardens now I'm so excited to get it going
Wow, your prices on the seed packs are sooo good. Had never looked at your seed store. Thank you beautiful lady.
Spiced pickled beets don’t taste like dirt, they are delicious. Love your channel! We got too hot too quick so going to try the fall garden, Zone 8 here in TX
I love Pickled Beets ! If not pickled I think the do taste like dirt.
@@neldaproctor6739 hi Nelda, small world, this is Debbie..Waco! Yes non pickled does taste earthy.
I am in the hill country. My garden didn't get no bigger than 3-4 inches tall before it died.
Gonna gather my seeds for the fall garden. Thank you for all the info and upbeat attitude! 🙏🙏❤❤
I love that earthy flavored beet
Yaaaayyyyy, I'm not a new gardener, the spring was my beginning but I'm starting my fall garden this week. I purchased your cushaw seeds and been waiting to plant them. I have 10 packs so I'm going to do some in the ground and in pots. It's going to be a great learning experience, I also have 1 pack of your luffas gonna try one seed for experimental purposes 😊I thinking I have a patty squash, too.🤔
Patty pans are yummy!
Tomikia you can do it!!!! Have fun learning honey!!
Try balsamic vinegar or tarragon vinegar, I find that takes away a lot of the earthy taste.
Hoss has a super sweet beet called, Merlin, that is not supposed to taste like a mouthful of dirt. We're trying those and a golden beet variety this fall. Happy gardening!
Thanks Mrs. H for sharing your Positive Energy, I can always use it! Peace and Blessings to You and Mr. H Always!!!❤🤗
LOOOOVVVE this! I'm in south FL, 10B, our best planting for conventional type veggies is in the fall. We can do tropical veggies over summer but I want some "regular" stuff too. Right now I have my beds solarizing so they will be ready to start in a few weeks. Everyone give it a try, you have nothing to lose.
❤😂 This lady is my twin, spiritually. 😂😂❤ I really enjoyed this video!!!!❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
My parents gardened. We had no choice but help. When my children were younger I gardened some but stopped after a few medical issues. I have started back and even though I knew some things I am learning A LOT!! Planted things I have never been exposed to. Planted 5 fruit trees and 5 berry bushes. Never had a fall garden. But I’m going to try carrots and maybe collards.
Mrs H I really needed to hear your heartfelt accent in your adorable pink overalls. Where did you get them? Texas weather has been so discouraging & you're so wonderfully encouraging. 💖
I live in South Dakota and I think your channel is awesome you help me in a lot of stuff and I really appreciate your channel
New Gardner here...scared but will be trying😊
Just ordered some Seeds from you yesterday. So Excited Thank you!
SoilSista I absolutely love this!! Powerful message... We are blessed to have Baker Creek as an awesome sponsor and we are giving away tons of Fall Seeds to help our beautiful community grow!! Come on SoilBrotha's and SoilSista's let's grow and raise our own groceries ❣️
Love all of this. Growing leeks from seed for the first time but been growing starts for years and we always get 2 crops from each leek. We just cut at the base, leave the root and base in the ground, and within days it starts to grow back.
Thank you for sharing.
This is great!! I want to garden for the fall. We are in our first year gardening in Guanajuato. In a high desert. Thanks for the inspiration!
I'm not far from you in Talladega Co. Alabama. I just sowed seeds for Lemon Squash, and Yellow Scalloped Squash today. I started seeds for carrots, rutabagas, and turnips the first week of July, and they are doing well. I'll be harvesting a batch of potatoes in a day or two, and replanting. Later this week, I will be sowing seeds for Yod Fah, Chinese cabbage, Bok Choy, and a second succession of turnips. September is my big planting month. I didn't have any luck growing beets this spring. It got too hot too fast. I will be trying them again next month.
MIgardener seeds are wonderful!
What i would love to see as a collab is how you use some of the less common veggies once you grow them...i did not come from a gardening family so we really only ate the common summer veggies. I have never eaten turnips or rutabaga so i wouldn't know what to do with it.
Steam the turnips and mash em with butter and cream, salt and pepper. Delicious! You also may can them and do this in the winter too. The greens are more important to me even than the root as I give my chickens the greens as they grow and then when harvested. I think some of the root veggies are great in casseroles cut up with anything from rosemary and garlic with butter or olive oil, or with a cheese sauce.
I'm a brand new gardener and don't really know what I'm doing! Haha. And I'm just gardening in pots. But I love watching you! You got me excited about the cool weather crops! I'm getting tired of this heat! My tomatoes did great for a couple months but now leaves are turning yellow and not as many tomatoes. To hot? Or anything else I need to know?
I had 4 huge beautiful cucumber plants covered with yellow flowers! But didn't have any other flowers, marigolds etc, to draw pollinators so no cukes! Plants just died.
My first potatoe crop I harvested to soon and they were tiny! So now I know to leave them in longer at least 90 days I planted some more and should be ready around September 20th👍 I also have 4 pots of sweet potatoes growing and some sweet peppers and basil. I want carrots, lettuces, and squash. I just pray I will eventually get some good food out of all this work.😀 I won't give up! I'm enjoying my tomatoes and basil so far! 😄👍
I love collards and turnips I'm going to try again to grow them
Debra what happened the last time you tried?
Love your hat!
Just planted my carrots 🥕. Starting my fall seeds this weekend Pittsburgh 6B
Thank you so much Mrs. H! I had never heard of cushaw squash until watching your channel last year. I got seeds from your store last year and they are more resistant to the pests. They grew prolifically and taste delicious. I froze a lot of it. They did great! Lord willing I'll be harvesting more this year! Many Blessings to you all! 💚💚💚
Im gonna do BEETS can't wait
I'm in Zone 6. Abingdon Virginia!!
I’m diggin that hat. It looks so cute on you.
Thanks for helping us beginners!!!
I love your spirit!
Thanks 4 putting these up. You are amazing and ❤🎉motivating and SO Talented
"Grow them Groceries!"
⚘💜🤗 Mrs.Heart, your just amazing and so upbeat.
Im planting more seed today too...and every other day, for the next 2 weeks. Started dropping new seeds, as of last week. 😉 fall harvest will be awesome!
I’m trying really hard maybe too hard . It’s so much to learn. Seedlings 🌱 composting ph soil etc. but I love 💕 the garden 🪴 it’s therapeutic
Yes! Starting a garden in late summer is amazing. The plants start off strong and then it cools but not too cold. Congratulations to y'all new gardeners! Zone 7 here and we grow so much. I have peppercorn this year and as I'm told that is rare around here. Just do the thing and grow the stuff!!!
Don't forget to were gloves and use a cutting board when you prepare the red beats they stain everything. Love this inspiring video ❤ ps didn't see what onions your going to grow I love the red ones myself but the only thing I can get to grow in my yard is a red Welsh onion I got from bakers creek thease onions are awsum they have a strong flavor and can be used for everything you need onions for I think they mite be my forever onion for my garden I want to try your cushaw I think it looks butiful and that looks like a lot of food just from 1of them can feed a lot of people ❤
Count me in too! I'm working on it hahahah. Prepping my fall garden now. Loves ya.
I love your positivity
Hi Homestead Heart. I am happy to see you doing the Fall garden. I am up for all the tips & suggestions I can get. Glad to say I planted a Lemon seed 2 weeks ago and I see a little plant coming up. I ❤️ Squash. The yellow ones especially. I will be trying the Cushaw. Thanks for the video.
Yes yes y’all new gardener here, thank you!🥬
I love your smile! I'm on the same page in planting out seeds for my fall garden. I just plant the seeds in between the summer crops, they will be shaded until my summer crops move out. I allow purslane to run rampant through my garden beds to act as ground cover. I eat the leaves raw or cook with them, my chickens enjoy them but my pigs absolutely love love the whole plant roots and all. Anytime I need to plant something I just pull up some of the purslane feed it to the pigs and then there's beautiful loose soil to plant in. I call that a win-win!
You are the bomb!!! Would love to be able to sit and chat with you!
great video. thanks!
Hi fam, I'm newbie to the channel and excited to see what I can learn and grow this up coming season 😊
Plant your leeks at least 6 inches deep. And feed and water like you do your onions.
If you get a chance try Center Cut squash. It’s yummy and so prolific, I think we’ve picked over 85, and they are still going, very creamy!
Start leeks in a tray and transplant like onions but plant them deep in the ground to get more white on the stem. They are better that way. Good luck
Yay!! ✨️✨️✨️ New gardener here 😅 I was getting overwhelmed til I saw this , absolutely amazing 👏🏾
Thank you for Sharing
