  1. Your garden is amazing! I can only dream that mine would be as beautiful. What do you do with all the produce? Especially the tomatoes. If you don’t can, that’s a lot to grow. I would love to see a weekly progress video. Any tips on slug, stink bug, or vine boring pests?

  2. I planted borage in our old house 8 years ago. Borage kept self seeding throughout the following year. When we moved to our new house 6 years ago we took a lot of the garden bed soil with us. I have never planted borage in the new house yet every year we have so many plants come up. They are always the first to flower and the bees love it.

  3. This is very informative! Have you talked about lilacs? I'm near Whidbey Island and they thrive here. You'd give good advice about how to trim them.

  4. First time subscriber love your garden… growing honeynut for the first time too and oh those 🐇🐇🐇 the zinnias will be gorgeous 😍 l
    Holly is scrumptious 🐾 I am northern Illinois near the Lake oh so hot and muggy🥵

  5. Hi Mark
    Thanks for sharing your passion for gardening and for being yourself. It really comes across well in your videos. I love all the details you give and how you say what you're thinking.

    Here in the UK, we've had a wetter than normal summer, meaning that things are still looking quite fresh for the time of year. It's interesting to see what and how you grow plants where you are.

    Best wishes

  6. Great garden! Well organized! Curious about the grass. Or is that clover? So green!

  7. All the videos I have watched so far are great! The ground cherries took me back to my grandparents farm, laying on my stomach and eating these off the ground. But, not all of them, because she would make pie! I enjoy learning and listening.

  8. I Want to see the cucumbers grown when their hanging from the top of the cow fence structure thingy 🙂 has that happened yet ? If so, where can I see them, I bet that looks pretty cool. Sooo imaginative with great insight. God, I can’t get a tomato to grow for the life of me, LOL. Tried growing elephant ears and they’ve been growing since 4 months ago and they won’t get any bigger than like 2 1/2 inch leaf length, SOOOO DISAPPOINTED ☹️😟😩 So I RE-NAMED them, Mouseketeer ears, ever since I put miracle grow on them they’ve been like that. I have lots to learn about planting 😂 ohh well,,, Maybe someday my thumb will be green.

  9. I cant wait to grow produce in my backyard but first need a fence. I live in FL, have a conservation area right behind my yard so raccoons, armadillo, lynx & deer would have a field day with anything I sow. But yes, a lovely, organized space like yours would be a haven for me. ❤️

  10. I'm not sure if anyone commented on this but I believe those schwarzenberren are edible type of black nightshade. Just make sure you have the edible strain because we have the unedible variant called mustakoiso popping up in fields here in Finland. It's considered a weed that plagues specifically potato fields as it steals nutrients from potatoes. it is related to potato and tomato. You can eat both the ripe berries and boiled leaves. Just make sure the berries are ripe. The raw berry is more toxic than the ripe one.

    Edit: It shouldn't be terribly toxic but eating a large number of berries is probably going to give you upset stomach

  11. You really put in a lot of work and it seems to be paying off…..you must be able to put away food to last you all year…how wonderful is that…..thanks for sharing!

  12. Love the look of the garden! Its like a work of art! Thanks for sharing this with the viewers.

  13. I've not been watching your videos in order (I just recently discovered your channel), so it's interesting to have first seen your garden later in the season, then see it in its early season state. I've always thought of a garden as something you plant early in the season, but had never considered that it could evolve over the season, with new plantings. I like that you seem to mix your expertise with some thoughtful experimentation (and whimsy). BTW, your farm setting is truly beautiful. It was easier to see the surroundings when you garden plants were smaller. I'm happy I discovered your channel.
