- Here are a few selections from our July homestead garden tour. We are growing in zone 3 on the Canadian prairies with an average last frost date of May 21 and first frost date of September 15.
Some of the main subjects you'll see included this month are the use of relay planting to maximize the use of our garden space (3:50 and 15:32), the trellising and pruning of cucumbers and melons (5:32), and the ideal harvest timing for hardneck garlic. (12:37).
Please leave a comment below to let me know what other subjects you would like to see included in future tours.

Great video, very informative.
I love the way you explain things, makes easy to understand our vegetables and they requirements. Keep doing this.
That's good to hear. Thanks for the comment.
I have plenty of land and still grow melons like you do. Having them off the ground really has some advantages! Great info btw. Nice setup you got there. It is my first year growing garlic and you actually taught me something useful! Thanks bro!
Fantastic. I especially liked the info on the wheat. I knew there was a difference between heritage and today's wheat but didn't realize that part of the breeding was to sacrifice some of the total production per plant to ensure more uniform growth and then plant closer to increase yield. If makes me think I should consider a small patch.
Thank you.
What a great tutorial video! Thanks, Jared. Neil and I are loving the Seed to Table course.
That's was a great video. Very informative and a few tricks on a couple of crops that I will utilize when I'm growing them. Thx very much
Thank you for sharing
Great vid. Thanks. Garlice portion was new to me.
(0:14) Intro
(0:58) Heritage wheat
9 standard beds (30" x 25')
(3:50) Veggie beds
beets, insect netting for leaf miner flies, harvested 1 week ago
lettuce, harvest in early July, replanted more lettuce with multi-sown turnips
turnips are salad turnip, 2" diameter max (golfball size)
Netting stops moths and flies from laying eggs
(5:31) Cucumbers, trellised in bed, lower/lean method
Cucumbers, pruning and lower/lean method, remove lower leaves and suckers (do this weekly)
(9:40) Cucumber growth habit explained
(10:00) Melons, trellis in high tunnel
Melon growth habit and pruning explained
(12:36) Hardneck Garlic
dry leaf tips means harvest is near
harvest at largest bulb size, but before all paper covers have disintegrated
each paper layer is a leaf on main stem, dried leaf means corresponding paper layer is also disintegrating
6 layers of paper (green leaves) is optimal for size and storage
(15:31) Carrot/Beet bed
Carrots followed by Beets
Carrots harvested in early July, Beets transplanted in
Beets protected with insect netting and shade cloth
Beet variety is Forma Nova, cylindrical, good for slicing and storage
(16:55) Outro
KEY DATES:
Jul07 Carrots harvested
Jul07 Beets transplanted
Wow gorgeous produce! I'm in BC and my peas had 95% failure, carrots same, no strawberries and the corn is about 9" tall...it's not been a great year in my coastal garden (which will be in full drought soon ) :)
Really appreciate these youtube videos I don't have funds for the course so - thank you so much!
Do you have links for the row covers, etc you use in this video?
Will you be talking about cover crops on youtube? I want to make sure I don't miss planting this year :) thanks so much!
Hi, just found your channel, great videos. Are you in Saskatoon? Would love to visit you next season.
Do you grow garlic more than once in a year? When do you typically plant your garlic. I have always had problems with growing garlic. Thanks for these tips
We just grow garlic once per year. This video will demonstrate our planting process for you. Be sure to read the video description for more details about timing. ruclips.net/video/evJ5BpEvKAs/видео.html
If you are growing cukes on a trellis is pruning laterals still necessary?
Where can I get the material list for your compost pile construction???
The compost bin materials are listed in the description under this video: ruclips.net/video/hNb25I1g1H4/видео.html&lc=Ugz4C-jSSddKydxMYc14AaABAg

Hi Jared, my garden got hailed out this year and my fall garlic plants are just stems, the leaves got beat off with the hail. Is there a way I can tell when I should be harvesting them without the leaves to help.
Yes. I will follow up with you in your email.
