OYR is all about growing a lot of food on a little land using sustainable organic methods, while keeping costs and labor at a minimum. Emphasis is placed on improving soil quality with compost and mulch. No store-bought fertilizers, soil amendments, pesticides, compost activators, etc. are used.
Anyone else getting withdrawal symptoms from the best gardening channel on YT?
Definitely yes! I keep thinking there has got to be a new one any day now. The suspense is killing me! Lol
I’m starting to get worried.... it’s unlike him to ignore comments. Even on old videos, he responded to my comments.
No worries. I've just been very busy. Oscar and I are will be back soon with new videos.
Sorry for the wait, Bethany! Oscar and I are planning a new video now.
Thanks David! Oscar and I are working on a new video now.
Picking the greens and the guitar...nothing better!!!
Thanks Jaynee!
Hi Patrick, I haven’t seen you for awhile. I hope you and your family are doing well.
I was thinking the same thing! Hope all is well Patrick!
Hi Pamela! Yes, we are well. I'll be back with more videos soon.
OYR Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening OYR Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening Hope to hear from you soon! 😁 can’t wait to see your garden’s progress. Say Hi! To Oscar!
OYR Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening While I’m looking forward to more vids my main concern was that you and your family were doing well. Family is always the most important thing and gardening sometimes must take a backseat.
I followed your advice this winter of leaves on the garden beds.. When I planted my potatoes this year in a section of the garden, I had earthworms under the leaves. First time EVER in the 10 years I've had a garden there, that I've had earthworms! My soil is so much looser after just one year of the leaves, and I have beneficial earthworms. I've only turned the soil once so far, and by next year may not have to turn it at all. Thanks for this channel!
That's great to hear, Mary!

Hope things are good in the OYR yard. This is probably the most important channel on the net. Nothing touches sustainability like your content. It is with such generously that you put you expertise and experience out there. I think I'll go get myself a shirt..
Thanks! Yes, all is well. I hope to release a new video soon.
I have missed your videos. I hope all is well with you and your family.
Hi Leonard! All is well and I hope to be back with a new video soon.
Making my way through your backlog and I can’t help but get upset that your videos are ending! Thank you for sharing such informative and entertaining content from a fellow Chicagoan!
I hope all is well, can’t wait for your next video
Hi Rachel! All is well and I hope to be back with a new video soon.
Thank you Patrick for sharing your joy and knowledge. BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you, Lark!
Am so missing Oscar😊! Indeed the spring to summer transformation is quite luscious and fruitful! Looking forward to your next awesome!!!
Eek! Is Oscar ok?
Hi there I wish you were still doing videos they are very helpful and informative
So awesome to get that harvest in April
Love watching these.. can't wait to see May's garden
I get unreasonably excited every time you post a new video. I just harvested some Hungarian Pink Winter lettuce myself yesterday that I overwintered. First EVER lettuce that I've managed to overwinter, and it was just under a clear plastic container. Thanks for the recommendation!
Wow, that's great! I'm happy to hear you've had success with Hungarian Pink too.
Please keep teaching. Thank you
Gorgeous as always! Because of you, I am growing red veined sorrel for the first time ever!
I also love gardening and love to see those crops growing very well and rewarding whem its harvesting time of those veges.
The way you grow your greens is goals! The harvest looks amazing!
Thanks Eva!
You inspired me. I'm going to start a backyard garden this summer. Thank you!
Best wishes with your garden!
Patrick! My gosh! You are so talented! I couldn't believe my ears when I watched your music video! Yankees making hillbilly music! Unbelievable! Wished ya'll were here in Dixie! Can't wait to hear more! Oh, and the garden is awesome too! Love how you get everything started so early! Blessings from Bama!
Thanks Felecia!
Such a delight! I could watch your videos all day. Alas, my own garden calls! Must limit watching to several per night! Thanks!!
I haven't seen your channel in a while. I will see you often. I have a lot to learn.
To have such perfect vegetables so early in the season -- it seems impossible.
Since i saw a video for the first time of you and your garden i am hooked on your video's and gardening myself the permaculture way . Incredible what a garden one can get this way! Thank you Patrick, for all the info and fun video's.
Greetings from Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Thanks so much for letting me know! I'm glad my videos helped.
Great to see your back, I did your double hoop this winter and it worked well. Put my cucumbers in a month ago and forgot to open it one afternoon. Lost it all 118 degrees. Started over again, still early. Stay healthy and safe.
Ow my God yes 😍 I have been waiting for months for harvest videos 😍
Thanks Nourine! I'm glad you like the harvest videos.
I'm glad you told us how quickly you'll eat your harvest; I was wondering "what's he going to do with all those luscious greens?"!!
Hoping all is ok with you and your family haven’t seen a new video in a while
Hi Cheryl! All is well and I hope to be back with a new video soon.
Great to see your garden all set for spring and summer 😊
Finally! A good, organic, Zone 5 gardener. I am a new sub and found you via Christian at Ice Age Farmer. Thanks for your hard work and for showing us how to be successful!
Godspeed!
Welcome to my channel!
Over the last couple of months I have watched all of your videos, starting from the beginning and implemented many of your ideas. I finished last week and have been going through withdrawals so I was so excited to see a new post today. (side note...you have a very calming voice) Thank you for all the amazing inspiration and very insightful videos, please keep them coming. Also Arlo our black and white cat would like to give a shout out to his video twin, Oscar! Happy Gardening!
Thanks so much for watching, and best wishes with your garden! Oscar says hi.
Just hearing the crisp lettuce being harvested means spring is getting close! Great update Patrick.😀
Thanks!
Beautiful harvest Patrick. Your spring garden was quite successful. I've got a couple lettuce plants in my raised bed but I focus mainly on summer crops like tomatoes, peppers, cukes, etc. Looking forward to seeing what this season will hold for both of us :)
Definitely hope you're doing okay Patrick.
Sorry to cause concern. All is well. I've just been very busy, but hope to release new videos soon.
Oh I'm glad to be back. I haven't watched in ages as I wasn't able to garden, but now I can. I'm not sure who has got greyer, me or you. Lol.
Thank you so much for the encouragement. I have only found your videos recently and they are heartening. It is deep winter here in New Zealand--Or as I like to call it, Down Under Down Under. I grew up in northern California but moved to NZ in 2001. Since my husband passed in 2006 my veggie gardens are my life--Right behind my fur baby Princess, of course! I wonder what you could do here where there is little more than light frosts through the winter? My current plans for upgrading include a new greenhouse beside the house and a large grow tunnel on the front lawn. Again thank you, we all appreciate that you share your vast knowledge.
Nice to see u again sir
Let us know you are ok, buddy!
Hi Rachel! All is well. I hope to release a new video soon.
I'm just gona have to get building a few of those low tunnels to extend our growing season ... I'm obviously missing out on alot... Thanx for sharing.
There is always something Rene and growing in your garden!
Love the music! Thanks for the extra special effort!
Thanks!
Hi missed most of your videos. we are having a very cold wet spring only thing doing well is my lettuce everything else is still in the greenhouse, wish the weather would warm up so I can get the veggies out into the ground, keep those vides coming always so very informative. thanks from one gardener to another
Yeah, we got off to a slow start with our summer crops, thanks to the weather. Things are picking up now, though. I hope your garden is doing well too, Eleanor.
Just got mine in as I was waiting on a tabletop bed for my patio, just planted cucumbers/beans/beets, transplanted peppers and one eggplant and the last 2 tomatoes, the rest are in pots on the other side.
It’s so relaxing to watch your videos.
Wow, awesome harvest video!! You implement quite a total use of space in your garden, virtually every available inch of space has something growing in it, happy grow season this year!
I am so glad every time you post a new video! Your channel has completely changed the way I think about gardening and having a garden like your garden is my goal! Have you heard of perennial broccoli? I saw it yesterday on Instagram and am adding it to my list of things to grow
Thanks! I haven't heard of perennial broccoli. Please let me know how it grows for you.
Epic harvest and thank you for motivating, inspiring and sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Daniel!
Great music, especially the tune accompanying the siber frill kale picking - somehow missed Oscar, or was he taking the day off? I know I've said it before, but it's so inspiring seeing the videos, reminding us all what is possible.
Thanks Helle! Oscar is well. At the time he was recuperating from a recent trip to the vet.
Thanks...you basicly got me started on composting and leaf mulching in my garden....thats working out well, garden looks great and worms just about everywhere I dig.......I retired my tiller as a result. I have a small heated cold frame, but will do a closed bed or two next year.....nice to have greens in the winter.
We are about to get a 36 deg night here in NJ....I have some tomatos outside that seem happy with 45 deg nights and 60 deg days.....I have buckets over them now for tonights cold........what do you think? May 10 is my frost date.
I'm glad you're having good results with the leaves, Mike! As a rule, we try not to leave tomatoes outside when it might get colder than 50 under cover. We'll probably move ours out in a week or so. Your tomatoes will probably be fine, but I'd keep the rest inside until after the last frost.
How's the summer garden coming along? We look forward to hearing from you again.
It's coming along well! I'll be back with an update soon.
@@OneYardRevolution Oh good! We will be checking back from time to time and looking forward to it.
Looking forward to seeing the jungle. Was surprised to find some sorrel growing in my garden under the mulch last week. The 2 feet of snow for the big chill this winter did it's job and then some. Asparagus is starting to peak thru and my goji berry bush is starting to bud. The wait continues.
It won't be long, Valerie!
@@OneYardRevolution thanks Patrick. Forgot to ask, do you harvest the outer most leaves on Egyptian walking onions? Not sure where the bubils will come from.
I lowkey miss these vids.... but I won't pretend that ALL Our lives haven't been adjusted over the course of the past couple of years. I trust you're prioritizing life, as needed.
I am just honoring the content you've been providing, whether you continue or not, and randomly sending HighFrequency & GoodEnergies and hoping yall're surviving in your neck of the woods.
Peace.
Great garden! Thank you for all the inspiration! They key to our future is small scale gardening like this.! Imagine a United States with millions growing their own food! It's the most practical way to combat the current system in place which feeds people garbage!
The jungle garden in summer. I seen it. It gets better every year too. You have inspired me so much in the garden. Have a fantastic day..!! Love the music too..!!
Thanks!
I hope all well with you and your family!!! No new videos so far thought i might've turned off the notification by accident !!! Happy 4th of July !!! Hope to see you soon!
Hi Sofia! All is well. I've just been very busy, but hope to have some new videos out soon.
love your videos and you have a brilliant way of growing veg.
Thanks!
As /I was pondering what to comment on another wonderful & inspiring video, i thought I should giver you an update: Mark is in the yard, Sawzall in hand taking my 10'x10' bed down to 2 4' x 10';'s. he is laying a path in between. Since these are my biggest beds the path will be wide enough for my bistro set, do we can do coffee, tea & a good book occasionally in the bed before it transforms to a hoop house for winter crops! Without your channel as inspiration& motivation, it wouldn't have happened. I too been harvesting lettuce(baby greens all winter) full sized today, Also got some w radishes today a couple cherry belles & a couple French Breakfast.It is not up to your fighting weight as harvests go, But I am learning, so thank you!
That's great! I'm glad my videos have helped. I hope Mark doesn't get mad at me for making all this work for him.
@@OneYardRevolution Lol, nope, he binge watched your build playlist & got psyched up i think! You know how you boys like the buzz of power tools!Then he go to work!
A solid month of rain has me fighting slugs, despite that, with nights staying in the 40's here in Tacoma, I already have most of my tomatoes, plus peppers, in situ and have also planted squash and cucumber seedlings in the last couple of days. I am going to give watermelon another go but not until the weather really warms up.
I am fighting with the birds to get peas growing (and beans too which the slugs also love.) I am eating huge salads regularly, I am really looking forward to a bigger chickpea harvest this year, green chickpeas are delicious. Happy to see the season starting up and your vlogs again Patrick.
Sounds like your off to a great start, even with the slugs!
I am so glad everything is OK. Looking forward to see you and Oscar.
Thanks! Oscar and I will be back with a new video on Saturday.
We're getting a really late start this year (didn't start seedlings inside). Should be able to catch up once our heat loving crops are up in a couple of weeks. Going to be trying some varieties that you've recommended, should be a fun learning experience.
Best wishes with your garden!
Such a great harvest video! Enjoy your greens & thanks for sharing👍
Thanks Denise!
Hey Patrick, we haven't seen a new video for a while, hope you and your wife are doing okay!
Sorry to cause concern. All is well. I've just been very busy, but hope to release new videos soon.
@@OneYardRevolution So relieved to hear you guys are okay! Hope you had a Happy 4th of July!
You should do a video on whether enzymes really do anything for plants. Like seed sprouted tees.
Thanks for the video idea!
Another great video :) Thanks for sharing :) I was a bit surprised that I did not see Oscar running around in this video.
Loving your music and garden as always, thanks.
Thanks!
So Claytonia - I don’t like eating the stems but it seems to take forever some time to do stem them and harvest them one little top at a time, do you eat the stems? Tricks of the trade?
This might seem ridiculous, but while I love gardening, I hate all the washing in the prep for the produce I grow! I’d sure love any tips you have on that!
Love the music.
And makes you wonder… What could anybody really dislike about this video so much to actually give it a thumbs down!?!
Yes, we eat the stems too. The easiest way I've found to wash greens is to put them in a big bucket of water, shake them vigorously, and remove them a handful at a time after shaking. For this harvest, I rinsed the greens outside in a 5 gallon bucket before bringing them in the house, and poured the water on the garden. Shaking vigorously and removing them from the water, as opposed to straining, is the key.
QUESTIONS: 1-Remind me how many degrees of protection each layer of plastic gives you during the Fall / Winter / Spring. I know you mentioned it but can’t find it. 2-Have you modified your hinged double covered design from the original?
I use Eliot Coleman's guideline that each layer of cover effectively moves the garden 1 1/2 zones to the south. So, with 2 layers in zone 5, we have a microclimate that is similar to zone 8. The only modification I made to the hinged low tunnel was to slip metal conduit over the center purlin.
OYR Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening thank you for taking the time to answer my question, you’re the best
Looks brilliant it’s given me a bit of an idea on my allotment plot over here in the Uk cheers 🍻
Hey Patrick. Haven’t seen you in a while, hope you’ve been busy making music or gardening....
Yes, I've been very busy lately, but I hope to be back with a video soon.
Great!! Glad to hear you’re okay.
How are these crazy rains treating you? I'm a bit swamped out over in Buffalo Grove.
Our summer garden definitely got off to a slower start this year thanks to the weather, but it's coming along nicely now. I hope yours is doing well too.
Patrick you might want to try the tartar bread plant. It is a perennial related to sea kale and has a slightly mustard green flavor.
Thanks for the recommendation, Eric!
You can also grind up the root and use it as a flour
wow i was just going to quit scrolling the comments, glad i went a bit further this sounds like something i need to investigate
Beautiful green harvest and yes, I was enjoying the beat of the music but have no idea it was you playing. I am impress :-)
Hi Patrick. Looks good. Here in Denmark we got snow and cold weather 4. May. Onions and potatoes grow well. Everything else doesn't grow at all. Sad to look at ... Nice to see you have luck with your .. Greetings Finn, Denmark :)
I'm sorry to hear that. We had really lousy weather through most of June too. The garden got off to a slower start this year.
Just came to check the comments to see how you're doing, glad see you're ok, can't wait for new videos.
I love the channel, you so informative on so many levels, from succession, to when to plant and how to get a head start. Also I think I'm going to start saving my Aldi cottage cheese containers also for my tomatoes lol.
I'd love to know how much time it takes to "forage" all the components for compost and mulch.
Thanks Michael! Oscar and I will be back on Saturday with a new video. We spend very little time gathering compost and mulch materials. We make a couple trips to the wood chip pile every year, and collect bagged leaves and grass clippings from some neighbors. We use to make a weekly trip to Starbucks but don't do that anymore. Save up those Aldi cottage cheese containers!
Such a great harvest! In Central Ohio, things are getting going also but a little slower. We still have a couple of weeks before our average frost date. Great job on getting harvesting year round!
Thanks Serena!
Fantastic Patrick, as always.
the contrast from inside your greenhouse at the beginning, compared to when you step outside... pretty remarkable. i didn't notice any garlic sticking up anywhere? Last year i had pests all over my garlic. I just let them go. still got a beautiful harvest. lost most of the scapes though. i was not going to plant more garlic, fearing even more of those pests. but the garlic is looking stronger than ever this year. being lazy has its advantages.
We planted garlic in the front yard garden this time. Almost ready to harvest now!
beautiful greens! and what a huge harvest for this time of year. congrats!
Thanks!
I love your content so much! I planted my spinach/carrots and kale this past week (zone 4a) now we just had 20cm of snow. I hope my seeds will survive,but who knows. I didn’t see any germination during the 5 or so days of 12-20c days...so maybe there’s hope! I love watching your garden grow and appreciate the knowledge u share,it really helps me as a new gardener who suffers from a lack of both knowledge and confidence. 🙃 I do have enthusiasm though!
Thanks Derek! Those seeds won't care about a little snow.
those 3 crops survive nasty winters for me, no problem. they are tough and seeds are designed to "survive". so don't worry too much. still doesn't hurt to sow more than you think you will need. can always harvest extra sprouts but you cant rewind time and plant more seeds last week... when i started out i was so cheap with seeds, till i have so many packets from years ago. better to use it up, right?? $2 for a pack of seeds, lettuce all summer... or $2 for a bit of lettuce at the store... 1 salad...
Well its 2021 OYRFrugal! Areyou you still growing? Love to see some new video's! Thanks so much! Happy Planting! Marlene from SC
Are you reusing grow bags from last year ? Do you plant anything in the bed with perennial cold hardy greens during summer ? I have a bed where I want to do that but don't want to dedicate it only for greens for the whole season due to lack of space. Also I would love to see your Asparagus harvests. As usual a great video. It is so refreshing to see harvests coming in so early.
Yes, the grow bags are in their 4th year and they're still good as new. These are the bags we use: amzn.to/2GXdIAp So far, we've planted pole beans and pumpkins in the hoop house.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic! I look forward to each of your videos. Thanks to you, we over wintered kale this year ! I was surprised to see the temperature in the hoop house. The greens don't bolt?
Thanks, Donna! I'm glad to hear you overwintered kale. Yes, some of the greens in the hoop house are starting to bolt. We're keeping the covers on because we're starting some summer crops in there.
I know you are not sponsored, but i could use a reminder link to those grow bags you use. Thanks!
These are the grow bags we use: amzn.to/2GHHbwX
Fantastic garden!! What a soothing and uplifting video♡
Thanks!
Hi, I was going over some of your old videos and came across the episode about using spent beer grains. I was wondering 5 years later are you still doing this? And have you learned anything new about the process that you can share in a new video. I have found a local source myself and would like to use it in my compost/worm bins all year long.
I don't collect spent grains any more because we don't need to make as much compost now that our garden is well established. But they're excellent. Only 2 caveats: 1) rodents like them a lot, so make sure to bury them deeply in the compost pile; 2) they can get very hot when breaking down, so make sure to not put them into a worm bin until they've aged a while and are no longer hot.
Have you had a year in which you didn't have to purchase plants or amendments due to your efforts from the previous year?
Yes, we start all of our plants from seeds, make all of our own compost, and don't use any store bought fertilizers. Sometimes we have to buy amendments for our grow bags, but never for the garden beds.
Great greenhouse garden! Thanks foe sharing!
My Apple tree just bloomed after all. So I will have apples cherries& cherries bushes for jams rhubarb black raspberries strawberries& grapes. The peach tree didn't bloom this year.
Sorry to hear your peach tree didn't bloom, Betty.
got to try sorrel for the first time...............yum.
I'm glad you liked it!
Love this video! Can’t wait for May???
My claytonia has taken over the hoop house.
I know the feeling, Kimberly.
I'm about to plant tomatoes for the first time soon. Do you ever get mildew or other diseases on them? What should I know to prevent that except cutting bottom leaves close to the soil?
I don't do anything other than remove diseased leaves and keep the soil covered with organic matter.
First frost free day 🎉
Beautiful harvest!
That looks mighty sweet. Was finally able to get my potatoes and onions in the ground. Now if it would just warm up a bit. :-)
Thanks Mark! Good to hear your potatoes are in the ground.
Hi, Patrick. At discount grocery stores here in Toronto, they put enormous boxes next to sweet corn displays. Customers husk their corn, and I bet you could fill a half dozen garbage bags with corn husks. Would you ever consider using them as a free, local green compost ingredient? Your biggest fan
yes
hope all is well, we miss you! be well and stay safe. joyce
Thanks Joyce! Yes, all is well. Oscar and I will be back with a new video on Saturday.
Great video and AWESOME music. You should be proud of both.
Thanks!
