    I hear you about the "last frost date"! Our date is May 17th, zone 4 Canada 🇨🇦. I now wait until at least June 10th to put my tomatoes 🍅 and peppers 🫑 in the ground. I've been impatient and planted some out early June ..... then we get a frost warning! 🤬 They were fine because I would double cloche them and also cover them with fleece. So happy to see you and Tuck back in the garden 💕! PS Excellent tip about the gardening journal! My garden is gradually getting bigger and bigger, and I have to start writing everything down!

I've always pruned the bottom leaves and taken off the suckers in the early life of the plants but after awhile I just let the plant do its thing. Should I be taking off the suckers the whole time? I found your channel about a month ago and have already learned so much. Tuck is awesome. I love seeing him in your videos. Yorkies are my fav. I hope to have one someday soon.

I'm ready for it to warm up and the gardening season to begin even if this year it's going to be light for me, I'm going to concentrate on doing a few things well and on getting my fruit trees thriving rather than try to do too much. (I'm still going to try to get okra to grow well here in zone 4b, whether it wants to or not)

    Hey, nice video! A tip to add for Southern California gardeners, or anyone who might be dealing with that insanely powerful mid day sun and some equally powerful wind: harden off your plants in the shade and start by leaving them out only for an hour or two hours per day in the morning or evening. Direct sun around here will kill your babies in less than 30 minutes, so please consider you local conditions. Happy growing!
