Why Growing Zones are Overrated for Vegetable Gardening
Grab your copy of The Self-Sufficiency Garden here: geni.us/SelfSufficiencyGarden
I wanted to make a video that highlights a more important way of looking at growing climates when it comes to growing annual vegetables. Rather than focusing on extreme minimum winter temperatures,, where not many annuals will be in the ground anyway, it is far more important to know the growing window you have

    Finally, one of the big garden channels singing the praises of the honeycomb tomato. I've been growing it since 2019, it's the best! And it seems like almost nobody knows about it or grows it.

    Absolutely agree, I had a volunteer Tom grown in my strawberry bed without pruning suckers a single plant produced over 15kg tomatoes. It was well over 6 feet trailing on the ground without any support. As a result it grew additional roots where it had direct contact with soil.

    BOOK HELP! Some of the garden structure you say what size you've made for your garden, such as the hoop house, hot beds, and hoop beds. But your other raised beds have left me guessing. I know that I will need to make some adjustments, although I have the land to do your exact layout... for example I need wider paths for a wheelbarrow. But I need a starting point, since you are very exact with your planting (so many cm apart, with one in the middle...). Do you have a layout of your garden beds with measurements? At the very least, what is the measurement of your standard raised bed?

    @misssophie6515 23 години тому

    The problem of many yt videos is also that they can lead the beginner to believe that everything is easy and picturesque and that you can fix or correct everything. My garden dreams made me ignore the reality that the only spaces available to me at that time for growing were unsuitable for most of those dreams and not really fixable by means within reason. I ended up putting in so much effort, trying to make it work, rather than say: this is what I have to work with, maybe let's not try to grow xyz, because it is not going to be satisfying or efficient. I ended up giving all my free time of two seasons to a veggie field and the yield was terrible, I neglected myself, during the hot summers often ate at 11 or 12 pm after rescueing and watering everything, stopped other hobbies that had previously brought me joy and since then it is a lot harder for me to relax or enjoy gardening work, during the frustrating seasons I still put myself under the pressure to not give up on that harvest, but I started seeing it as a chore, as something that makes it impossible to go away for even a short holiday anywhere between april and october. so if you just don't have the right conditions, step it down, play it safe, grow things where not much can go wrong or if it does go wrong where at least you didn't put in a whole bunch of time and money and you can always expand next year if you know that it works well.

    Very true on the first point... I grew my first tomatoes out of curiosity and that was it. Ended up building a whole greenhouse devoted to them and barely eat any out of season now. I will say you can get some okay supermarket tomatoes these days but they're expensive and very inconsistent.

    In Australia 🇦🇺 never pruned tomatoes growing up so I haven't as an adult. Last year was steaking the extra growth and got loads of tomatoes way more than we could eat and so was constantly making tomato relish through the season next time will experiment more with making sauce and bottling it.

    One year I let a cheery tomatoe go wild and it had better production than all the rest. So now I don’t do much pruning cheery tomatoes. Tried that with other tomatoes and ended up with quite a mess. But I think over all more production.

    Funny how we find all these ways to reproduce what happens naturally. I've been playing with aquaponics, sustainable fish tanks, and resurrection jars (and previously, worm bins and compost tea). We're really just reproducing different sections of the ecosystem, so we can feed the waste product of that imbalance to the section of the ecosystem that needs that the most. If you just put them in the right order, it's really just a river...

    Love it! Doesn't quite apply to those who don't have frost. For us tropical gardeners, it is the beginning and end of our dry seasons and the elevation we are growing at. Definitely a good rule of thumb for any kitchen garden in temperate climates.
