Leave the potatoes. When they start yellowing harvest them. Probably a pickle seed mixed in with the mellon seeds. Start harvesting your tomatoes before the birds discover the ripe deliciousness. Pruning vining plants is fine. Just leave enough leaves to promote additional growth. Take the struggling zucchini out. It probably has a vibe borer
Blossom end rot is actually from low calcium. Couple recipes to prevent it: 1) antacid tablet dissolved in water, water plant with it. Find a natural one without artificial colors or sweetener instead of the colorful Tums. 2) 1Tbs ground eggshells (pulverize to powdery substance in coffee/spice grinder). 1Tbs vinegar Combine, let foam, wait 30 min. Then add to 1 gal of water. Water plants with it. Happy gardening! Blessings! 💞🙏🏻🙌🏻
Angela I love love love gardens done by non professional.Count me as one.My garden grows wild like it would do in nature and I make it up as I go along.It is indeed my very happy place.
Freezing pesto without adding parmesan in baggies works really well to have for the winter. Though and add the parm. I froze them flat then they stack really easily.
If you have too much basil you can chop it and freeze your basil in ice cube trays with olive oil. So easy to put into dishes when you need it. Works with any other herbs too.
Really enjoyed your garden tour. You have a very healthy crop which considering you are new you are doing great. Keep posting garden tours i enjoyed. This is how we all learn from each other.
Your garden is looking very nice. For a first year garden, I think you garden is looking very nice and healthy. Gardening is a learn as you grow process. New fans of the channel..
I’m one of those people who scours for gardening tours and garden experts. You were a recommendation.Glad I clicked! I’m also a first season gardener and I LOVED this video and your garden space!
Please share more of this. Beautiful garden, well done! Started a garden this year for the first time as well, and what a blessing it has been..never going back to not gardening 😆
Tomatoes do really well if you companion plant them. Next planting, try adding some bell peppers, parsley, and basil in the bed with them. Also, prune the bottom leaves of the tomato seedlings, before putting them in the ground. Put more of the root in the dirt. Tomatoes can get to be 6ft tall, if you lay enough of the stem in the dirt. Your garden is beautiful!!! Such a great homeschooling tool, therapy for Mama, frugal for the bank book, and the flavor is so much better!!! Congratulations, on your first (and very successful) garden!
Your vegetable garden is thriving!! I keep my tomatoes pruned to provide good air flow so our heat and humidity doesn’t cause disease. I struggle with squash pests and I was completely devastated the first year I gardened vegetables but this year I’m doing better. I think we’re always learning and adapting. Your gray trailing plant is dichondra falls. Love your containers! I love mixing different plants and combinations in my many containers. Your herb garden is beautiful! Everything looks fabulous. Keep up the great job. Thanks for sharing.
FYI you don't want to prune Roma tomatoes much other than the bottoms leaves. Because they are a determinate tomato they will stop growing at a certain point so too much pruning will limit your fruit.
I love garden tours. I give them to my friends periodically. Gotta show the growth after all the time, intention and effort is put in. Poor Lottie, taking away her scrumptious treats, haha. Watch her figure out how to climb onto the roof, lol.
Gorgeous garden!!! You are doing a great job! No matter how many plants are doing well, it's hard when some are not. But, it's totally normal to lose some. Are you going to get a greenhouse too? It's nice to have one to start seedlings in the winter. BTW only indeterminate tomatoes need pruning, if you have any bush varieties (determinate) , leave them alone. Your potatoes are fine, they look great! Corn needs to be grown in a rectangle or square for best pollination. You, and your family are amazing!
You did a great job in my opinion. I started a mini garden this year, but things didn't worked as planed. I only have some chilly peppers outside and some basil and bell pepper inside that are doing well. I would love to see more gardening videos from you😍🤗 Keep going, great job🤗🤗
Great job! Every gardening year is different from the last so it really keeps you on your toes! I’m finally at the point where I get enough harvest for fresh eating and canning!
The gardens looking great! Cucumbers and melons are in the same family and melons don't get sweet until they're totally ripe and ready to pick so it could make sense they taste like cucumber as they won't have developed any sweetness yet. Either that or you accidently planted a cucumber and it's growing up it! Cross pollination only effects the seeds that come out of a fruit, it can't effect the fruit that's growing. If you saved the seeds, planted them next year, then they might grow some weird fruit.
My experience with cross-pollination happened when I was a young new gardener. Seeds that had cross pollinated fell to the ground and survived till the next year. One popped up in the squash patch. It was a strange gourd/squash hybrid. Dried, it was actually pretty. I tried to save seed from it, but not one grew...it wasn't fertile. My dad named it "mule squash".
I am no expert at all but I was always told not to water plants when it's hot and sunny as the water + full sun scorches the leaves and turns them brown and they die. So to always water very early in the morning or in the evening at dusk kind of time. Just a suggestion that might help? You garden is so beautiful xxx
Just found your channel love your garden,your doing a great job . This is my first year growing I’m over in England it’s rubbish weather. I love roots and refuge too. I will have a look at your other videos now.
I just found your channel through this video. I love it. We all start somewhere with whatever we have and we learn as we go!! I love Jess from roots and refuge.. I wanted to say I have never thinned potatoes and I believe the more above ground the more is happening under ground :) also using the basil to make homemade pesto, it can be poured into ice cube trays and frozen then put individually into a freezer bag for use throughout the winter!! Your basil looks very happy and healthy!! Also wanted to suggest if you like growing Romas to maybe give the Amish Paste variety a go, mine are outgrowing my romas magnificently and were the first with blossoms!! When i first started I was a lazy gardener, I would plant things then just go back later to harvest, and had decent harvests despite the neglect. I. General plants want to grow :).. I think you are doing a great job! You have far more production coming through than I did with my first garden 10 years ago!
Your garden looks great! My wife and I are beginning backyard gardeners and learning lots every year (north Florida area). We use raised beds too, as well as bucket gardening. I'm sure you're aware but next year your raised bed soil will need nutrients. We've had good luck with vermiculite, garden soil, and Black Kow manure mixture. Love the tour video, keep them coming!
It's interesting, here in Australia Lantana is the huge invasive weed, I couldn't imagine planting it for it's flowers! It's definitely eye opening to see how plants are used and grown in different countries (not a negative!). Gosh I adore your garden! Love watching all of your videos Angela ❤️❤️❤️
Angela your garden is so pretty...1st time gardner? Girl you have found another area you are talented in.😊 i enjoy both your channels and your family adventures. 👍 Blessings...
Excellent garden! As an armature gardener myself I find this video helpful! I learn things just now and have inspired me to get some more things planted and just give them a go again. I planted a native garden bed along the side of one fence line and tomato plants grew - I didn’t even plant tomatoes! So weird! So I guess gardens do what they want to do sometimes! Lol keep up the garden tours I am inspired!
FYI corn is super hard on the soil, if you want to do corn again next year, you’ll have to fertilize the area pretty well. I don’t grow anything, I just grew up in cow/corn country
Beautiful Garden. I have found that raspberries do better if they get only partial shade, mine are against the front of the house. It is in shade all afternoon and there are 60 blossoms as of this morning! Blueberries love full sun but watch they don't get too much...a sunshade should help control how much they get. I love your garden tours. Rusted Gardener is good for plant tours too. He could help you.
Your garden is looking really good. The plant with the silver leaves spilling over the sides of the pots are dichondra, probably dichondra Silver Falls.
Really enjoyed seeing your garden 🪴 would love to see your progress, and what you are learning along the way. I’m starting my garden and have little experience as well, would love to learn along with you,
You've done a great job!💚🌿 Watch your tomatoes for horn worms. I'm in zone 7a....the worms are bad this year. Get a black light, fun to night hunt😂🐛 My lettuce bolted, even with sade. You should be very proud of your garden....so good for the soul.
Your garden is beautiful. I enjoy how excited you are about how it has come along. Also appreciate how you are sharing what you are learning. I’m a new gardener and although mine are all in pots your experience and tips are helpful!
I loved this garden tour! This is my first year doing my garden and you learn so much! For next year, do not plant zucchini and cucumbers next to each other. They do not do well together! Also, there are two different types of tomato plants determinate and indeterminate! My pumpkins are also taking over and have now grown out of the garden and into the lawn.
we done a garden for awhile. my husband made a garden box for are garden. we have corn, potatoes , tomatoes bell peppers strawberries banana peppers cantaloupe cucumber watermelon onions pumpkin . that looks like a nice garden
Enjoyed seeing your garden, as I have loved seeing your whole process with the garden and all your projects since you moved. I love how you jump into things!
Love your trying keep up the good work try growing blackberries plant in a large pot. Use crates and anything u can put a plants in this is my second year of having a patio garden I'm growing herbs too I'm proud of you
I love that you do the same as I do… I always assume that something won’t take and then boom that is the best plant I’m my garden… remind me to tell you of the year I plants 28 tomato plants 😬
I love this. I've been watching you for years and am stoked that you're gardening! I'm really a beginner too... and your garden is wayyy more beautiful than mine. I'm inspired!!
Also- not sure how you fertilize your flower containers but applying proven winners water soluble fertilizer at least once a week it will help keep them performing well. It has kelated iron in it and will keep the foliage of the plant looking green and full with lots of blooms! Annuals are heavy feeders Bc they are suppose to be performing plants. They need lots of help to get them there, and the heat will eventually take its toll on them and make them look leggy and tired. 🥰💜 It will also benefit your dahlias!
For your blueberries, you should do a soil test and find out the pH of your soil. That will help you decide what you need to add to the blueberries to help them grow.
Pick and freeze the peppers until the tomatoes are ready. Then make the salsa. Water only early in the morning or after the sun goes down. Love all your vlogs, make as many as you can please.

You're doing great.
End rot is usually a combo of calcium deficiency and inconsistent watering.
Your doing fabulous 🤩🐝🌿
The farm has changed your entire spirit, in a beautiful way!!!!! The glow and happiness and peace you radiate is lovely.
Awww, thank you. It’s been so good for my soul- and I’m learning so much about myself from gardening and the animals. 💗
Honestly for a first year gardener, you are doing so well! I’m very impressed!
Hello
Roots and Refuge Garden Tours are my happy place. Your garden looks great. Everyone starts somewhere
Blossom end rot is actually from low calcium. Couple recipes to prevent it:
1) antacid tablet dissolved in water, water plant with it. Find a natural one without artificial colors or sweetener instead of the colorful Tums.
2) 1Tbs ground eggshells (pulverize to powdery substance in coffee/spice grinder).
1Tbs vinegar
Combine, let foam, wait 30 min. Then add to 1 gal of water. Water plants with it.
Happy gardening! Blessings! 💞🙏🏻🙌🏻
The gardening community is very helpful with new gardener's. We will help you, and a lot of stuff fails no matter how much experience you have.
Angela I love love love gardens done by non professional.Count me as one.My garden grows wild like it would do in nature and I make it up as I go along.It is indeed my very happy place.
I’m seeing a cameo with Roots and Refuge in the future. Once they get settled in!
Your garden is beautiful! You’ve done a fantastic job. Gardening is always trial and error.
Freezing pesto without adding parmesan in baggies works really well to have for the winter. Though and add the parm. I froze them flat then they stack really easily.
Hi
You could make watching paint dry, interesting and amusing. I think if you enjoy something, your enthusiasm spills over. Keep doing what you do.
For a beginner you started out BIG! You are doing a great job!
The silvery foliage plant at the beginning of the tour is called Dichondria Silver Falls.
The corn looks spaced fine. They need to be close together for pollination by the wind when they touch eachother. I would also leave the potatoes.
I am a first year gardener too...U did much better than I did...its encouraging for me
If you have too much basil you can chop it and freeze your basil in ice cube trays with olive oil. So easy to put into dishes when you need it. Works with any other herbs too.
Really enjoyed your garden tour. You have a very healthy crop which considering you are new you are doing great. Keep posting garden tours i enjoyed. This is how we all learn from each other.
Ooo a delicious way to use up basil is pesto 😋 blend cashews to almost desired consistancy, add basil, salt, lemon, olive oil blend, enjoy!
So happy for you super mom!
Need an update sometime.. Nice tour. Grow garden grow!
Your garden is looking very nice. For a first year garden, I think you garden is looking very nice and healthy. Gardening is a learn as you grow process. New fans of the channel..

Your garden is wonderful! Yes please show more garden tours and property tours. You are blessed with a beautiful home.
You can harvest your peppers, chop and freeze them, then make your salsa
Hey! A Roots & Refuge tee! Love! 😊🌱 I'm a minute and a half in and I already love this video 😂
Everything looks so tidy! Your garden is beautiful and clearly the result of great effort. ☺️❤️🪴
The plant you couldn’t remember is Dichondra silver falls 🥰 Another amazing gardener you might want to look into is Laura with Garden answer.
Please share more of this. Beautiful garden, well done! Started a garden this year for the first time as well, and what a blessing it has been..never going back to not gardening 😆
The green thumb shirt!!!
Ahhh! I didn’t even realize your shirt until you pointed it out!! I’m staying around for more!!
“I don’t know what I’m doing” lol you have a whole garden! I was expecting to see a small bed of a few things 🤣🤣 love your garden, it looks amazing!!
Roma tomatoes always get blossom end rot, they ARE finicky. Try cherry or grape tomatoes, they aren’t fussy.
I love how you give everything your best shot- really great example to your kids that you can succeed at anything you put your mind to!
Please keep us updated on the gardens... absolutely love them
You are doing great! Don't beat yourself up! Weather has affected a lot of our tomato's and food crops, and the flowers
Hi
Its so funny when you said, you have no idea what you are doing... I actually laugh! Its still so much fun to see you...
Tomatoes do really well if you companion plant them. Next planting, try adding some bell peppers, parsley, and basil in the bed with them.
Also, prune the bottom leaves of the tomato seedlings, before putting them in the ground. Put more of the root in the dirt. Tomatoes can get to be 6ft tall, if you lay enough of the stem in the dirt.

Tomatoes can grow much taller than 6 ft. Mine get 10+ feet every year
Loved the video! Thanks for sharing! Your first garden is going much better than mine!!

Your garden is gorgeous! Please continue to share updates! I am a beginner as well, this is my second season, and continuously learning.
I loved when your sister was doing her garden tours! It'll be nice to watch your tour. It'll kind of be nostalgic for hers.
I love garden tours. I give them to my friends periodically. Gotta show the growth after all the time, intention and effort is put in. Poor Lottie, taking away her scrumptious treats, haha. Watch her figure out how to climb onto the roof, lol.
This is amazing!! What a wonderful outside space you have created!
You look beautiful too!! I started intermittent fasting after seeing you’d done it!
I LOVE Jess at Roots and Refuge Farm! I have been watching for years and have learned everything from her. ❤
I love garden tours! Please do more 😁 your plants are looking fantastic!
Gorgeous garden!!! You are doing a great job! No matter how many plants are doing well, it's hard when some are not. But, it's totally normal to lose some. Are you going to get a greenhouse too?

You go girl. Its addicting, have fun.
Great Job on your garden!!!
I love how real your videos are
Love it so much! Inspiration when I have my own garden!
Your fence is exactly what we did for our first year!
It looks great! I’m excited to see your garden through the different seasons!
This is great! Glad I just found this Channel
Great job! Every gardening year is different from the last so it really keeps you on your toes! I’m finally at the point where I get enough harvest for fresh eating and canning!

I loved the tour!
