Scallions and green onions always grow so well here. Even after they flower they just decide to grow again from a new sprout nearby and I don't even have to re-seed. Each leaf saber grows so large too that often I only have to cut down two leaves for a meal. They're even more drought tolerant than other plants that guarantee that they're drought tolerant too. And they can easily handle overwatering aswell because they just store it in the hollow part of the leaves as a gel and they're completely fine. It is the best vegetable I'll ever appreciate growing.

Hello, I planted my Garlic (GERMAN RED HARDNECK) the last week of October 2021 and I am in zone 5b. I pulled 1 up just to get a sense of the progress on July 9th this year (2022) and it is not very big. The root system seems to be pretty good, but the Garlic is very small. The plants seem to be very alive and not yet dying off at all. I water 2 times a week since it has been fairly dry this year. I have been researching and see that others are harvesting already. I am wondering if harvest time can take longer sometimes?
Thank you, Scott

Love the video, one veggie that I like to always grow since we eat salads at least once each day is lettuce. I like to sow a wide bed of assorted lettuce seeds, all different types and I harvest them in a cut and come again manner so I can literally have fresh lettuce every day of the week. I cut a section about once every 5-7 days and by the time I've gone through the bed, the first section is way ready to harvest again. The gift that keeps on giving! Keep up the good work!

I have an apartment garden and I love growing garlic! Lots of herbs, too. Unfortunately, once upon a time, I also grew mint, Jerusalem artichokes and comfrey. now I have all three, forever! Mint is good for suntea, and the other two are good for compost (and eating the roots, not my fave, but geez! Don't plant things that will get away from you. Lesson learned. My favorite tomatoes are Stupice. They make great salsa fresca!

Those in high/irregular rainfall areas beware: Cherokee Purple tomatoes split easily. I gave up and just grow cherry/currant tomatoes. This seems odd, since the Cherokee were native to the rainy Southeast, but maybe the rainfall was more uniform than it is where I live in the Midwest, or maybe the variety was selected in Oklahoma (where most Cherokee were forcibly relocated, which is much drier.

Don't have nearly as much space as you do, but for me cherry tomatoes, cucumber and some sort of lettuce are a must. I grew spinach early this year, was delicious, now I have some leaf lettuce, two types of rocket and curly lettuce. Can always make a salad this way! i also love butternut squash, but they definitely take a lot of space. Maybe I'll try beans next year: )

2: 50 the name for the taste you're looking for is savory (or savoury, if you're from the Kingdom. People forgot how to use this word (especially with the great culinary forgetting of the mid-20th century USA, and then timing of the mass popularity of the umami loanword has almost supplanted it. Like an unwanted thorny blackberry trying to take over your garden.

My must grow herb is lemongrass. I live is a small apartment so to get free mulch I use the extra lemongrass leaves. Like mint they spread very quickly. I try to grow all kinds of herbs and cut down when its exceeded my limited living space

current sized tomatoes are a nightmare, impossible to harvest, the front tomatoes on the truss would rot before the back ones were finished forming, I had to pick them individually off multiple plants. stick with cherry and grape style

Our sunny spot is on our back deck, making it the only place to grow tomatoes. The problem is a black walnut tree about 20-30 feet away. The tomatoes dont seem to survive under those conditions. We love tomatoes. Any suggestions?

Youre definitely right about beans. Last year, my pole lima bean plants mustve gone haywire, towering right over my head and producing a shtload of delicious beans for fresh shell beans and also for dried beans for the winter.

Calendula! One of my favorites. I've tried to grow it for years but this is the first time they've ever produced flowers. Even though right now they're super small, I'm hoping that they'll grow in size as more and more pop up.

Considering 6 of these are cultivars or varieties of plants native to the USA, it explains why they grow so well. I think more gardeners should focus on plants that are native to their regions for this reason.

i keep potted dwarf tomato on my porch, Red Robin variety. They are small, compact, and will keep producing all season. so nice to step out the door, grab a couple tomatoes for breakfast or a quick salad each day.

Oof, yeah, we had another one of those cold springs in Vancouver. Set a lot of crops back. My serranos are not going to be very productive this year. Honestly, I feel like they shrunk since transplant.
