Great video, guys! In the spirit of self-sufficient living, I have a question/challenge for you. I love to make quick and simple bamboo teepee trellises and other uses in the garden out of bamboo. And I would love to just grow my own, instead of paying for these bamboo bundles. Bamboo is a grass that grows notoriously quickly. So it seems like a good candidate for adding self-sufficiency to my garden by growing these instead of buying them. Can I grow these same bamboo that I buy at the garden centers, right here in my own garden in Arizona? If so, what type of bamboo would I grow, when should I plant, etc? Where can I obtain seed, cuttings, or whatever I need to get started? Can you do a growing guide? That would be awesome!

There is something you can make with those green unripe apples. Pectin. You can look up how to make it. That way you don't waste the fruit's potential and if you make jams and jellies you don't have to buy pectin.
PS there is a fun science experiment you can do to test the homemade pectin for strength of jelling. Pour some isopropyl alcohol in a shot glass. Put a spoonful of your pectin into the glass. If the pectin is strong enough to gel it will do so instantly when it mixes with the alcohol.

I planted a large grow bag with corn last week and the next day I went out and it had been dug up. I suspect either a raccoon or a squirrel. since it seemed to happen overnight, Id bet on a coon.
Ive taken your advice this year and planted alyssum with my tomatoes for the first time. I used to plant it every year in my childhood flower garden, so I have fond memories of them, and Im so excited that theyre beneficial for tomatoes!

I live in Phoenix AZ and was given some dragonfruit cuttings in February an they have rooted and growing in 1 gallon pots. I know I have to move them to bigger pots with the support structure. But, terra-cotta pots here dry out amazingly fast. One of your past videos had them in big black plastic pots. Plastic degrades and dries out here. Can you give me some advice on what pots to use here in the hot desert?

Epic Gardening So interesting to see your seasons in play - I'm in FL 9b and to give an example our strawberry season is in February/March. Strawberries will die off in summer if not babied, or at least mine did on the coastline. And our lettuce and leafy greens have long since bolted and yours are fine - even though you are in 10a/b. Interesting that apparently the big difference is the humidity!

Hope everyone is getting prepping as much as they can for an increasingly likely bad future. Plant what you can now. Get your water collection systems in place. Help your neighbor, support your communities. We can weather this storm if we band together and take care of each other.
Most important of all, stay safe.

So I had a Strawberry bed just like yours. They Strawberry plant grew runners etc. I havent gotten 1 strawberry from that bed at all for 3 years! I finally pulled it all up this year. Not 1 Strawberry! What was I doing wrong. I had heard that it wont grow anything the 1st year planting so I gave it 2 more years. Nada!

Can you do a video about the right way to plant intensively? I want to learn how to do it without courting fungal problems, pest infestations, etc. I would LOVE to plant as intensively as you do in your garden, as I dont have a lot of space, but I always thought you had to worry about airflow.

Love your garden tour and that you're incorporating wise water usage. About the cordon steel is it rusted? would you line the inside with something or is it safe to plant edibles straight in? What kind of soap would you use in your washer & shower for safe grey water usage? Thank you!

When my string beans were disappearing just when they were just coming from the ground I successfully deterred the culprits by putting a sheer white curtain over them to protect the plants. It still had sun and rain and it had no more problems with the chewy culprits.

Im really enjoying your videos. I notice that you are trying co-planting different varieties. I wondered why you arent doing the holy trinity of corn, squash, and beans, do they not work together as well as indigenous legends tell? Bountiful harvest!

I see a lotus flower in your pond. Can you grow edible watercress and water grown ong choy! That would be amazing! The water grown one is softer than the soil grown one. I ate a lot of ong choy in Thailand stir fry w garlic and chili

In hot sunny climates you'd want to reverse the sun orientation. Tomatoes & peppers suffer from sun scalding, so some protection is necessary. You can shade them with taller plants or with shade cloth, whichever works for you.

I have 6 squash and zuchini plants - each have 4-5 fruit with beautiful female blossoms - only problem? I HAVE ALREADY LOST A DOZEN FRUIT DUE TO ZERO MALE FLOWERS! I've never had this problem before - any ideas?
