I just had you Im my feed and decided to watch you. Im impressed. I know a lot about landscaping, took 2 year classes years ago for my own yard hobby only. Now Im into veggie herb gardening and wanting some fruit tress for our front yard along the 4 hi aluminum fence. Could you look into what grows well in North Carolina south east of Raleigh? We have pretty fertile dark rich soil in our yard. The best is closer to the house in front and all of the back, but along the fence is not bad either, just not as loose and dark, some pebble in it at times, but we have evergreens that are thriving, only lost one out of 9 different varieties. Im having trouble with my roses in the front flower ends now. Ive lost 1 yellow, 1 coral peach, 1 pink, 1 red all knock out roses and I have lost one medium carnation pink rose that I received the great great grandchild from the original from, I had 7, now I only have 3 left of these. I got the original roses from my beloved Aunt in 1994. They are so fragrant and get very big if you let them. I would live more info on fruit bearing trees and shrubs for this area please? We have 1 blueberry Bush out of 2 that has survived 2 years, it is not producing much. We have not fertilized, not sure if we need to, but the plant itself is hardy, but kind of small still. Still learning. Im good with most of our trees, plantings, perennials and shrubs, bulbs, but not sure about the blueberry busy on what to do. Its at least healthy.

It's all good Kevin! Its like tomatoe tamoto. lol
Thanks for sharingi your kInowledge with us! This year I started a companion garden, so i am hopeful that my editable and medicinal garden will be more successful then last year! It took me three months to come up with a plan and so far I stuck with most of it, but a few changes here and there. I will send you photos in the summer once everything takes off. I live in the heart of Baltimore City and have enjoyed gardening now for the last three years since the pandemic started. My neighbors are always loving my garden space which of course makes me proud. Gardening is my happy place.

I saw a recipe where u roast radish like u do potato, broccoli. Toss in olive oil, season to ur preference. Says it brings the heat or in the radish & makes a great summer app w a cold IPA
I haven't tried it yet, I'm doing good if the radish makes it into my salad vs my mouth. I have a terrible habit of grazing my way thru my garden.
I pick baby radish leaves & throw in garden
Hint: radish do well companion planting in summer where they r tucked in spots shaded by their companions. When I pull my radish I throw a new seed in that spot keeping me fed all yr long

Due to the sub tropical climate here I grow most of my veggies in the very late summer to very early summer times.
Otherwise they just bolt to seed due to heat, high humidity and rain.
So I actually get the best results in WINTER! However in winter we do not get much (if any) rain, so they need regular watering and here in South Africa that can be a problem. Even more so now with the climate changes we are experiencing right now.
Extremes in all directions.
Slightly inland South East coastal region.

I can vouch for the cold heartiness of spinach. Here in the southern Ohio area where it gets down to single digits during the winter. Had some spinach I planted during the fall in the more sunny section of my backyard against a fence. It lasted all the way through the winter. At one point it was covered in ice and it came right out of it. Have also had decent luck with potatoes and onions in shady sections during the summer although, as stated, the yields were not as great.

Im a little jealous of you because of the loquat tree. Having been born in Bermuda as a young boy I enjoyed the fruit of my Grandfathers four loquat trees. Luckily Grandpa came to the conclusion that his low yield was due to birds.
Having retired here in Florida it was to my dismay the Socialists of the Property Board have established rules that forbids fruit trees in common areas to avoid rodent populations!

Thank you for acknowledging our UK 'Herb' pronunciation. It annoys us Brits when you say ERBS because it's a French affectation from when it was considered 'cool' to speak French. It's not cool, it's ridiculous. The French even chop of consonants from the ends of every word, don't you find that weird. Why do they do that?

So, re: escarole? Italian Sicilian here. I grew up hearing my NY Italian family saying ska-doughL: ) Escarole is great with garlic, pepperoncini as a soup! Or raw, in a great antipasto with roasted red peppers, olives, etc! Great video: ) Love from the garden state (NJ - no, not Newark. Appalachian mountain foothills; ) )

Wow now I know why my peas died and my spinach had struggled. Too much South FL sun. The peas didnt even sprout! But the spinach popped up and then its been sort of stagnant. I dont want to bring the pot inside now since its got some tiny mites or something living in there. But Ive moved it to a shadier spot.

Thank you so very much. I'm a 1st year gardener. I live in South Eastern Oklahoma and have trees all around my yard. Literally I have no full sun areas. I was looking for dappled shade and full shade veggies and herbs to grow. Question which ornamentals and flowers can be grown with these 15 plants?

The somewhat rare root vegetable called crosne or Chinese artichoke does really well in the shade. It has a really yummy nutty flavour and is harvested in autumn. You should try it! Btw, basil is pronounced differently by us Brits too! You say 'bayzil', we say 'bazel'! :D

I have radish in my shade garden (3-5h full sun) and while they've never produced a proper radish root they put out a ton of leaves and I cook with those. I live in a year-round temperate zone and one of the plants is going on two years of constant leafing out.

Im about to start my first garden. It will be a shade garden but Im in houston. Humid and hot. So things like watering less isnt going to work. The excessive heat means more watering. How about a video on gardening in humid sunny and humid shady areas.

Awesome I just moved into an apartment but outside my door after the sidewalk is a beautiful blooming tree and two beautiful blooming large bushes BUT enough space between them to start a patio garden and I have two places that get more shape than Sun.

My chives, oregano thyme, and sage have done marvelously well in partial sun and are perennial in zone 6. Theyre in raised bed made with pave stone so the light colored pavestones probably retain heat and reflect light.
