I live in the desert , I’m afraid everything would burn up. What state are you in ?
Just put my second round of cukes, zukes, squash, beans and herbs in my garden beds. Hoping the vine borers are finished devastating my first round of crops.
I might just pop some in!
Does the ladder mesh rust?
I’m going back like you said and watch these over again on what to plant for late summer.
You went from #3 squash to #5 basil. What was #4 supposed to be? Otherwise, it’s only 5 crops.
What am I missing? I keep watching and only count 5 veggies and a flower. Caucus, beans, squash, basil, chard and zinnias……
Thanks for sharing! I have been looking for trellis and found then expensive. Your ladder mesh is really a good price $7+ for 2!!! Wow!
Nice video btw!
Wehi
Thanks so much
Very Good!.
Question. I love the idea of the ladder trellis. Do you think it would shade too many of the plants underneath?
What are the red flowers in your garden beds? Beautiful.
What insecticide/ hints do you have that are safe to keep bugs and beetles away? I have done too much research and have spent enough money on stuff that doesn’t work. I can’t seem to get my strawberries to maturity without being ravaged and all of the rest of my fruits and veggies are headed that way
Too bad , I live in MN zone 3 nothing can grow on this cold weather but thank you for sharing
Why plant a seed?….Because I said sow.
Hi Calikim 29. I love to see your videos. I learn a lot. I just put 9 eggplant seeds. I put a while back potatoes. Never have luck with them but it looks like they will be potatoes. Everybody that comes to my house, says that I have a jungle. The good thing is that I live in San Juan Puerto Rico is very hot. The winter is cool or chilly but it doesn’t get frizzing.
Wonderful video. Trellis idea is fantastic. Very helpful. Thanks.
That trellis is too week to hold cucumbers.
So nice
I love ur garden ideas
How tall is that trellis? Looks 8ft wide by 9ft tall?
Nice, now even my cold hands could grow that ?
Great video
This is great and NOT boring. Thank you!
Am growing cukes and zucchini vertically and using similar but inside the greenhouse. Happy plants!
Just ordered the seed packet and making my trellis tomorrow. Can’t wait! Super great video and informative! Way more confident after viewing!
I’ve always wanted to grow in the winter. Thankyou for such a beautiful video that is so informative. I’m glad you included the chard at the end, and i’ll add kale too. Your soil looks beautiful.
You said you got that ladder mesh at Home Depot I looked on line but couldn’t find in the Home Depot app
She shook the hell out of those plants at the beginning lol
I just learned something, plant some flowers to bring in pollinators. Ingenious! I’m on that in 2022. Thank you!!!!
Where can you find ladder mesh in Ontario? I can’t find anywhere and I want to make the trellis for them next year
What kind of beans?
I pulled my chard. Come to find out I really don’t like the taste or texture of the stuff.
Longevity spinach and Moringa trees
Thank you .Cali. It is really a good video to show how to plant the late summer plants. Awesome.
i just ordered late summer seeds. Just wondering if its late to get the seeds I am in California. Please guide.
I see you have Petunias in your garden bed. I would never plant my veggies near Petunias. Every time I’ve planted Petunias, I’ve had to constantly battle grubs.
Do you have that problem?
Edit: I saw your petunias again and it looks like they’re definitely munching on your flower petals.
Help; am loosing all my crops. So hot . I have not been able to get anything from my crops.. I don’t have them in direct sun, on my porch in pots and have them on a irragation system. heat has reached 99 to 106. lots of 106. What can I do? Have spent so much money on seeds, plants. Please advise.
I have a beautiful straight eight cucumber plant with lots of flowers and is super long. The only problem is there are no cucumbers!! I have fertilized them but it hasn’t help. Do you know what might be the problem?
What kind of soil you need for potting plants ma’am.
What zone are you?
We seed what you did there.
Did you cut the ladder mesh from a big piece? I have been to 3 home depot stores and 1 lowes store and can not find the ladder mesh pictured in the video.
This lovely lady is a savior.
My little garden this summer has helped me so much, mentally.
