0: 30 1: 00 those sunflowers are looking good
Since we are in different seasons, this is some of what I grew this year already:
Watermelon - dwarf small sugar baby, small but very sweet and shorter growing time - good for smaller gardens as it can easily be grown up a on a very small trellis. my trellis is only 0. 5 - 1m and I had 4 or 5 plants growing in a container together up it, each plant produced about 2 or 3 small, very sweet melons
Zucchini - bush type that grows more upright / like a bush instead of sprawling / spreading out - also good for smaller gardens
Sunflowers - loads and loads, since there are so many benefits. break up clay, don't need much water, great for bees, provide shade for other plants and ground, home and breeding ground for lady bugs, bring up deep nutrients, leave a giant root mass when finished, produces a ton of biomass, entire plant is edible, and they look nice too

I've struggled with my cucumbers this year. I'm from New Zealand (Southern hemisphere) I bought 3 from a gardening store and 2 died early - 1 got sat on by a cat, I wish I was kidding! - the third produced several before succumbing to something. So next season I'm going to plant 2 and try planting in ground instead of a big 30L pot. Kevin your old homestead garden is about the same size of my current garden but I've got a fence shading out the light in the morning so.

I like how you skipped the Hybrid White eggplant I was actually watching this entire video hoping you’d get back to the REAL THING. I use to grow them in Hawaii when I had my garden and was hoping to get pointers from you about doing it RIGHT I’m now in the south Georgia haven’t had the same luck as I did back home

I just got my seed order from BI with honey and cream sweet corn, Bell Peppers, Butternut Squash and others I’m excited to plant! What struck me is that you guys sent me a pack of Thank You lettuce seeds instead of just a standard thank you note! Best gift ever for a gardener on a budget!

Hello. In Greece we have 2 most common types of peanuts. The common peanuts that were shown in the video and the aegina peanuts (as we call them here) which they do grow from trees. Maybe thats why people believe common peanuts grow from trees. I was one of them just a few months ago: ).

Zone 8a here. Tried to grow Roselle last year. Plants grew fantastic, however, they are day-length sensitive and don't start blooming and producing calyxes until late fall. We had an early frost in October and unfortunately the plant died before I could even see 1 bloom. :(

I recently came across a mixed seed garden and think it would be such a cool idea for you guys to do. You just mix different seeds in a container and distribute them in a bed and let them grow wild! I personally don’t have the space but would love to see you guys do it!

Thanks for the video because it helps me prioritze what seeds I need to start in zone 8A. I am so behind with starting seeds, I've been focusing more on my fruit trees and fertilizing. As a Jamaican, I love the hibiscus/roselle feature. We make Jamaican sorrel with it.

Consider growing another pumpkin right in the same place that you did last year because her body did not rot and become bioavailable for the plant. Parts of it did but the rest took quite some time to completely finish decaying and feeding the life in the soil.

I feel like you left out Dent corn, or also commonly called Field corn. You dry it out just like popcorn, but then grind it for grits, cornbread and such. I had good success with Bloody Butcher and heirloom variety. It is what you want for long term storage

you can plant a sugar baby watermelon on your balcony. You just need a 10 gallon container and a 5 foot tomato cage. Send the vine up the tomato cage and make hammocks to support the melons when they emerge. I do this every summer.

So many questions:
(1) Did not hear a mention of dent corn. Do you have a recommended variety
(2) Do you recommend a self-pollinating cucumber
(3) Is the cuc trellis something Josh built or something for sale

Well look who it isthe proud FL towel thief has been hired. Hope the condo company charged you. You’ve obviously never worked in hospitality. Not cool to steal, just makes it more expensive for everyone.

So cool to see the plant from which Flor de Jamaica tea comes from! Otherwise known as hibiscus. Thanks to Meg for showing this, I’ve had the drink in Nicaragua, it’s very traditional there.
