Hello from Oklahoma. Started this quarantine re-shingling my house & garage, then built a gazebo, then a bridge. As boredom continued started a raised bed garden and built nine raised bed hinged hoop houses, still bored clear cut bamboo along back fence & hand dung and pulled all the bamboo rhizomes. Put up my trail cams and live inside the city and my backyard chain link fence didn't even slow down the critters coming into my new backyard garden. Rabbits, possums, skunks, squirrels in my yard? When Bloomberg said anyone can be a farmer; just dig a hole & toss in a seed, is far from truth.
Ring the tops of the holes with the top couple inches of paper cups. Push them down into the soil, as deep as the seeds. This will prevent the seed from washing out.
Well, gee whiz, Jaime. You did well so far. We can barely grow a stinking tomato this year because we tried starting from seeds, no plants to be had here, and the weather is insane! We're expecting a freezing night two weeks after the last frost date , even! We even put down black plastic in the large garden and have raised beds with amended soil in the other one. Thankfully, at least the squash, potatoes, purple hull peas and the Chinese long beans that a company sent us as a thank you for buying the pea seeds are growing really nicely! We have a few more things like onions and garlic and bell peppers, plus our heirloom crowder peas. We have plans to put in a growing area in the basement next season with grow lights, etc, because, finally, my husband has declared he's cleaning out that no-man's-land subterranean dungeon this summer, once and for all, LOL. ~Cynthia
If you're up to trying an asian green that can take some heat, tatsoi was a favorite of ours. You can eat it raw or cook it just like spinach. Very durable against the bugs, too. Garden looks great!
Just a thought.... cut the bottom out of solo cups... insert in the ground in the cloth holes... and plant your seeds in there. Remove when plants are rooted. The cup keep the pill bugs from climbing in and eating the new sprouts too. Nice Job setting up so quick.
If you build yourself a table and put a canopy over it, like a FarmTek canopy, and grow your lettuce in pots, watering it a couple times a day during the heat of summer, you should be able to have fresh lettuce all summer.
I highly recommend a floating row cover for helping to avoid pest damage on your plants. If you use hoops and pin it down on the edges with rocks or boards it can really help!
Next year look for Clemson spineless Okra. We found it 3 years ago and it is one of the best Okra varieties we have run across. Superior taste. Love okra! My niece gave me recipe to roast in oven. Y'all gotta try it that way. Better than popcorn.
In the landscape cloth holes for seeds try using cardboard rolled into a cylinder and place in the hole. It’s biodegradable, adds protection for seeds to keep from being flushed out and will steady and protect the fresh stem in its early growth. I’d only make it an inch or two above the top of the opening.
Your garden beds look nice, and they vegetable are coming in nicely. Little bugs eating. ...trade you, we had severe hail and 60mph winds destroyed my lettuce, spinach, peppers ect....
They are calling for a freeze this Saturday. It is long past the last frost date. I hope it doesn't kill everything off. If it does, we may be in the same boat as you...replanting (ugh)
For beets - depends how big you want them Put 3 or 4 seeds in a toilet roll insert with putting soil - once first "true leaves" stick the toilet roll insert into the hole in the landscape fabric (soak em so the cardboard breaks down sooner) - it won't "wash away" when it rains. As they grow they'll push each other apart, take the biggest and the others will grow larger. (see Charles Dowding videos on multi sowing)
Yes I use the toilet paper roll method for all my seeds..I cut slits fold them put soil in, seeds in, and when they are ready for the garden also Im in Florida I start all my seeds on a table in my garden, no greenhouse so there's no hardening off process. I just unfold the bottom and put in the hole, this way I don't have to touch the roots at all...
Well the experiment looks to be working out with just a few bumps. If you plan on seeding more you might want to use toilet paper rolls and put seed in there so they dont float off in heavy rain. Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻
Have you thought of using jiffy pots in the landscape garden spots to keep the seeds in that area instead of washing them under the cloth when it rains? The pots will rot away and become dirt and the seeds can sprout and go through the pots.
I am kind of glad I just pulled this video up today. Reminded me I had to bring my potted plants indoors and cover my garden. We are expecting a freeze tonight....
Love it. You guys literally changed my life. It’s cause you’re inspiration and bringing things to my mind that I hadn’t been taught before- we had extra food and tp etc. and we’ve been faring ok this pandemic (Washington is totally freaking out). Thanks you guys. You’re reasonable. Entertaining. And Spunky. Love it. Can’t wait to see you’re dream garden and house finished. My favorite bug deterrent is Netting. Just got mine cheap from Walmart.com but you can get big netting anywhere, and just got copper wire and bent them to the size and shape I wanted and covered them with the netting. Water goes through. It’s worked great for us.
I put pest netting over my cabbages and when I went to check on the garden there was one of those dreaded white butterfly’s trapped inside trying to get out 🙄 Love your experiment, looks great!
THANK YOU!! I planted what I could for a victory garden along with you, I have never really gardened like this before, I was beginning to think I was doing something wrong, but my plants are about the same size as yours so I feel much better now! just doing what I can with no land.
I just watched your older podcast on the 10 mistakes you made with your previous home. It was awesome, I felt so bad for you. I'm so glad to see you have new place, and your able to realize your dreams. What an inspiration you are!
I wonder if you cut toilet paper or paper towel tubes into short lengths (maybe an inch or two), set them down into the earth through the hole in the landscape cloth, then planted your seed inside the tube segment if that would prevent the seed from washing out under the fabric?
Great to see y'all jumping in front of what could be a massive shortage/food price spike! Looks great, keep up the great work and thank you for showing the process!
@@nancyfahey7518 No, not really. You can experiment with new plants, new structures, new soils or amendments or growing vine plants on a trellis instead of a fence or things like that. Plant in a different place maybe or in ground fabric like you saw here. For the most part once you figure out the best place and time to plant certain things and you know (barring unforseen disasters) what the result will be its not an experiment.
Hand watering is tedious, but it gives you a chance to look at each plant closely... your emergency garden looks great and I hope it does well and provides well for your family.
I love it! Plant as crazy as you like. I plant brassicas in a small high tunnel and after much loss to insects here in TN, we've been planting insect resistant varieties where we can. Sweet Meat sounds good, we plant Seminole, Tan Cheese, and Old Tennessee Vining pumpkins because they require little work and no pesticides. Tagetes Marigolds are great repellent plants and when the Japanese Beetles come in, they'll eat them and make them sick.
For the beets. Try using 3 inch pieces of 2 inch pvc. Until the beet is rooted in place. When we plant Geoducks we use a piece of PVC stuck into the mud and place the geoduck into the center. When the tide comes in and goes out. It helps to keep them in place.
I don't have a deer problem where I am now, but when I did, the neighbours told us: use blood meal, which came in big paper bags. Worked GREAT - just sprinkling handfuls around.
I purposely do this with my bell peppers. I mix in the jalapeño plants along with serrano peppers too. This year I thought to kick it up a notch and add a Carolina Reaper plant to see how much "damage" that can do. :)
New ground, new garden, you'll be doing a great job if you have a decent harvest. Really a difficult situation for a garden, but you''ll never know unless you try.
0:40 I like the *ANT & GRASSHOPPER story* 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 Winter comes, and the ant has enough to eat. The grasshopper goes hungry. The moral: if you want to succeed tomorrow, you have to start working today. Those who do not plan for the long term will not succeed in the long term. another version is the *CICADA and ANT* The ant worked all summer to stock up on provisions while the cicada was singing. At the beginning of winter, the cicada asked the ant if she could lend her food. The ant then replied “what did you do this summer”? The cicada answered “I was singing”. The ant then said “Well, now you can dance”! The moral of this tale is simple. I think it means that you must only rely on yourself and not to wait at the last moment to do the important things.
Another fantastic video! Love you guys. Started watching several months ago, first video with Jeromy's long hair and Jaime's tattoos, thought you're a couple of hippies living in the hills. Ooops, sorry. (not that there's anything wrong with that) Didn't take long to appreciate your talents and dedication. My wife and I hope to follow your lead someday. Thank you for all your hard work!
I am in Florida and I have had a lot of success with a homemade bug spray in and around the house, and especially in my garden. Simple mix of 1 gallon of water, 1 cup of Dawn Dish Soap, and 2oz of Orange Essential Oil. We also spread diatomaceous earth around after the bug spray has dried. I do have to reapply after it rains, but it has really helped with the insects. One note, because of the essential oil in the mix you have to be careful with cats and dogs.
I hadn't gardened in 6 years but I will be putting my garden starts bought from other individuals and from the nursery as well as grown from seed into the ground this week.
We do raised-bed hydroponics in 5-gallon buckets using flood and drain system from the fish pond I created with bluegills, we use ladybugs to fight the bugs and aphids. They are a few dollars for a big box of several hundred. I just release some on all the plants and they stick around until all the bugs are eaten, then they will wander off somewhere else for food. I do this once a year and this typically holds off 99% of the bug issues I have... i have to be careful what i spray on the plants, because the water i feed the plants with comes from my man made small in ground pond i created with a pool liner, the poop and such from the fish is what i use to feed the plants.
Cheap: fishing line strung, just 1-2 lines at the very top of your posts. We read the deer can slightly see the line but it confuses them and they are afraid to jump. Don't put flags on it, you don't want the deer to know exactly where it is. Works for us. Deer pass our yard by everyday and have stayed out for 3 years.
I started picking yellow squash today. Tomatoes won't be to far behind, and the peas are sweet. I'm lucky enough to live on the zone 8/9 line so I can grow a lot of different things and can get zone 10 plants and trees in if I put them close to the house. You have a nice garden. My dad was from eastern Kentucky where I spent most of my summers on Unc's farm. My mom's family is from Sicily and grandma grew a killer garden and raised chickens, in the middle of New Orleans. I guess that makes me a hillbilly dago red neck Cajun. Thanks for posting!!!
Looks great!! My Spring crops all bolted a couple of weeks ago when we got up to high 80s a couple of weeks ago in Durham. I had to give up and wanted to set out my tomatoes and peppers this weekend, but we have a frost warning for tomorrow morning. Joy.
Other than the plants the bugs are snacking on, the garden is looking pretty good. One of the good things about radishes, other than their taste and how quickly they mature is, the radish part can store in the refrigerator for quite a while. And, the greens are very good sauteed in a mix of sesame oil and olive oil, with a little garlic and a light sprinkle of soy sauce if you like Asian flavors.
Have 60 tomato's plants , three flavored corn 2 cucumber beets , onions ,squash 3, beans 2 , horseradish root,sunflower , popcorn, garlic, carrots ,you name I'm trying to grow it. and pepper out the yazoo Love gardening .
Your doing great! Everyone has to start somewhere. I enjoy the tips you offered on the organic bug spray. I found raised beds were wonderful for eliminating tilling and weeds. Plus one doesn't have to bend all the way down to take care of the plants. In your permanent garden you might want to invest in raised beds.
great looking garden , you shouldn't have a problem sustaining for many months. I use old CDs stung across diagonally across the top of my fencing to deter deer and birds. it works !!!!!
While the house build has been interesting to follow, THIS type of video is what I'm here for. More please!

So glad to see some garden content again xx
Thanks for this, so nice to see such a wonderful place being used so well! this is our dream from a smaller gardening youtuber :)
Nice emergency garden! I realize it is not the ideal garden you want, but it still looks pretty good!
Ring the tops of the holes with the top couple inches of paper cups. Push them down into the soil, as deep as the seeds. This will prevent the seed from washing out.

Ya same here..frost this Saturday. Ugh.
Thanku. Wow! You’re very productive. Congratulations!
Pretty good results considering it's part experimental. Thanks for the knowledge Mrs.Jamie and family
GOD BLESS😇🇺🇸🗽

Many kudos to you (both of you!) for how hard you work on your property, great looking garden for a throw-together attempt btw. Thanks for sharing...
_You got my vote, and the garden looks great!_
It’s looking good! I love it!
I highly recommend a floating row cover for helping to avoid pest damage on your plants. If you use hoops and pin it down on the edges with rocks or boards it can really help!
Broccoli and cauliflower leaves are also edible n very tasty mix in with your greens
Looks great! I hope you are successful with those pests.

I was wondering how that Victory garden was doing, thank you for the update on it.
Wishing all the best on this garden
Looks great to me! Journey On! Victory Garden On!
Looking good! I'm in zone 5 so our garden is just starting. Hope you have a bountiful harvest.
Keep the good stuff coming thanks

If you're having a frost can you cover what's been planted?
@@Guildbrookfarm The weather has been so strange. I hope it doesn't freeze for y'all, and your plants end up with no issues.
I've been watching your videos for hours today and I absolutely live your family! Such an inspiration!
Great job. Anything grown is a blessing. Great job.
Never met a potato I didn't like...
Great job
For beets - depends how big you want them

We'll you have been busy!!! If everything makes it to Harvest you will be straight out putting up all that food!! Looks great though...

I love green beans to!
It looks victorious 🎇
Yahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! So excited to see the garden!💜🧡♥️. Beautiful job!!! I sent your canning how to video to my sister........

Your garden is coming along nicely! Thank you for sharing.
Great video Jamie. Thanks for sharing!
Don't get overly distracted from your build. This is America, we got this! Carry on.....

I like Charles Dowdings way of no-til and requires no landscape cloth. Cool to see and can't wait to see what you make and can with them!
It looks awesome!
Careful with the jalapeños, they can cross pollinate with the bell pepper, and then you get spicy bell pepper
Sounds delicious 😋
Even better! 😋😋
I purposely do this with my bell peppers. I mix in the jalapeño plants along with serrano peppers too. This year I thought to kick it up a notch and add a Carolina Reaper plant to see how much "damage" that can do. :)
Let me know! 😎
@@Guildbrookfarm Will do !
Suggestion for the runway seeds. Toilet paper rolls/paper towel rolls. Might help keep them in place better.
That's a brilliant idea!
Well done!!!
Always fun to see new gardeners try gardening. So many mistakes but you have to start somewhere.

Good work on the garden. Been at it for decades. Still learning new things each year. We are down in SE GA.
You could put netting over your plants and a small battery operated electric fence. I believe you could also get a solar operated one as well.
Good for you! 🙋🏻♀️💞

Thanks for posting!!!
Nice garden Guildbrooksters .... you are already enjoying the "fruits" er ah, vegetables of your labor. Take care.
Looks great!! My Spring crops all bolted a couple of weeks ago when we got up to high 80s a couple of weeks ago in Durham. I had to give up and wanted to set out my tomatoes and peppers this weekend, but we have a frost warning for tomorrow morning. Joy.
Deer always eat my squash and zucchini blooms! I don’t have room to plant them inside the garden fence either.
Still winter up here in northern Appalachia. My garlic has sprout that is about it. Only thing green is the evergreens.
Other than the plants the bugs are snacking on, the garden is looking pretty good.
One of the good things about radishes, other than their taste and how quickly they mature is, the radish part can store in the refrigerator for quite a while. And, the greens are very good sauteed in a mix of sesame oil and olive oil, with a little garlic and a light sprinkle of soy sauce if you like Asian flavors.
Patrice's Projects ....and if you let radish go to seed you can eat the tasty seed pods !
So true. I like them better than pods from brassica family.
thanks for sharing
Looking great
I like your emergency garden set up 😊
love it you go girl
Have 60 tomato's plants , three flavored corn 2 cucumber beets , onions ,squash 3, beans 2 , horseradish root,sunflower , popcorn, garlic, carrots ,you name I'm trying to grow it. and pepper out the yazoo Love gardening .
Best wishes! Hope it goes great!
Beauty!! I’m doing a victory garden this year and extra garden
Your doing great! Everyone has to start somewhere. I enjoy the tips you offered on the organic bug spray. I found raised beds were wonderful for eliminating tilling and weeds. Plus one doesn't have to bend all the way down to take care of the plants. In your permanent garden you might want to invest in raised beds.
Try Dixie cups with the bottom cut out in each hole after planting your seeds so they don’t wash under the cloth when it rains.
Yessss! So cool! Can't wait to see the harvest : )
Your garden looks great! I do the same, wherever I find dirt, I plant! 😂😂
great looking garden , you shouldn't have a problem sustaining for many months. I use old CDs stung across diagonally across the top of my fencing to deter deer and birds. it works !!!!!
