    My mother told me a story from her childhood: Her family worked hard all day one day (1920s) picking watermelons & stacking them up for a man to pick up the next morning. That night, her pet goat got out of her pen, went straight to the watermelons, & ate or put her hoofs through every single watermelon. Her father gave the goat away to the man who came to pick up the melons. Have backups for your backups!

    I live in Belgium, only on my 4th year of gardening ever, and this year planted mostly what I know works for me (corn, potatoes, pumpkins, squash, courgettes, tomatoes), and all seems to be going well. We're very blessed to have a nice amount of bees. I'm experimenting with some new things like beets. Every day I work in my garden I learn something new.

    My husband and I are in our 70's and our garden is small by necessity. So far we have been blessed to have nearby produce stands to get some beans to can and dry, etc. Judging from our experience this year, I'm not sure how much longer we'll be able to continue either activity. So I'm beginning to stock up on the canned goods from a grocery store (gasp!) to make our pantry a little easier to handle. Patera, I'm saying prayers as I'm typing for your Nana - that her health continues to improve and you all enjoy one another as you can. ♥

Before I give up entirely, I'm going to build a few more raised beds instead of expanding my inground garden. Canning? I think it is a wonderful way to preserve food.

    I did an experiment with my purple hull peas. I had seed from 3 different places: local store we buy from, some I saved and one pack of commercial. I wanted to see how each grew(especially my saved seed). I'm so happy to see they are all growing equally well! This is the first year all my tomatoes are from my saved seed. I have about 100 tomato plants (trees!!). Cukes are my saved seed too. On the tomatoes we have battled the heat, deluges of rain, aphids, blossom end rot and we are winning !!! So far, we have put up 300 ears of corn. I almost feel like the garden is free except for HARD WORK!!! We are in our 9 th year of homesteading and am still learning what we will grow and what we will buy. Some things are not worth it

    I really have learned a lot this year gardening. I have never had so much pestilence in my garden in all the 10 yrs that I have been planting. Bugs, slugs, bunnies and a persistent buck who kept jumping our fence and eating my plants definitely made me talk to myself a bunch🙄

    About the bees. I have always planted pollinator flowers around my garden and had a lot of bees. This year we had to reseed a few areas around the edges of my yard so my husband reseeded with clover and red clover. This year we have had probably 10 times more bees than ever before. They love the clover which is close to my garden ❤️

    I agree. So far my garden survived the drought we had here. I have mulch down and I think that helped a ton. Our well has a slow refill rate so we have to be careful. I finally have a lot of bees here. For years I didn’t have very many but this year I dedicated a couple flower beds for them and they showed up. One year my apple trees produced nothing because they were not pollinated at all.

    Our garden is coming along but not where we were last year. All seed started here at home, but we are going to get something. No such thing as “just a farmer”, where would be without them?

    Our weather in Arkansas is brutally hot today. Our garden has produced lots of cucumbers and squash early on. I have more planted that look so so. Our tomatoes are doing so so. The plants look leggy but I have been getting tomatoes from them. Okra is starting to come off. The heat is really taking a toll on everything right now. Earlier this year I had a good harvest of potatoes and garlic. I am gonna try a bigger Fall garden this year. I am thankful for my grandmother teaching me how to grow a garden and only wish I had learned more from her when she was alive. She also printed a cookbook of her recipes for all of her family. I use her recipes all of the time. Prayers for your Nanna!

    Farmers on both sides of my family ( idaho and indiana) I listened to my elders and asked lots of questions while they were here. My grama even gave me a book with recipes for food and soap and such from when she grew up. ( 1920’s) I’m so happy to have been blessed with them in my life. You are correct, in it’s hard work and lots of failure in growing your food. I do my gardening vertically due to small yard but, i get a good amount to supplement my food stores.

    I planted tomatoes in containers. They got blown over a few times in some strong winds but survived and are producing! They taste soo good. I am a novice and not dependent on it but it’s so fun to grow food to eat and share. I’m going to try a fall garden for the first time. Wish me luck! Southwest Missouri

    I’ve learned a lot from my grama! Especially flowers. She was in garden club & she taught me how to can tomatoes & spaghetti sauce. I got my jars & want to start canning again. It’s been awhile but I can do this! You’ve taught me so much too Patara! I’ve made your pastry egg bake several times now (I have chickens & a lot of eggs) & it’s been a hit! Thank you so much for your videos! 💕

    Just wanted to come on here and tell you. Thank you for your gardening videos last year. I've been having a hard time learning how to garden where I live in a city. Now at my gardens are thriving due to the hard work I realize it takes to put into gardens. I thought you planted it. Watered it and let it go.

    So sad for my garden, I got sick and it turned into pneumonia. Starting to feel a little better finally after 3weeks, gonna get out to try and clean it up and salvage what I can this evening, and what I've learned is don't give up. Love your videos thanks for being such an inspiration to me and so many others.

    Those beans look perfect to make 'leather britches' -- and useful to store that way as they can be seed backups next spring if you don't need to eat them. Corn looks great! .. I'm growing some Hickory King as well this year but also Blue Hopi, Jimmy Red, and some Mexican heirloom blue/red/purple corn from the original corn belt of Mexico -- reason is the dark kernel corn has 5x the protein of the white corn like Hickory King and the hybrid/gmo yellow corn (heirloom yellow dent has about double those). I grew HK mostly as a novelty and to have more genetics available if I can't get seed later; but my focus has shifted to landracing the dark kernel flour corn varieties. A family friend started getting twenty percent larger pig litters after switching to the heirloom higher protein corn.

    My garden is limping along. The rabbits keep eating my beans. Finally planted some in grow bags. I have tiny green beans! Patio gardening isn't half bad.

    Here in the Northeast, we have had so much rain our gardens are rotting. My son and his family moved back to New England from another part of the country a couple of years ago and has not had a successful garden yet. They are so discouraged.
