James, you may want to cut those potatoes into eyelet/planter size. You'll save a little money, and you'll need far fewer whole potatoes. Do you grow giri, by chance? Sicilian watercress. If you'd like some seed I can send you some later this year :)

so true about "it's better to plant to late than too early". I've tested this with a few plants, planted in March and May. Even with two months difference, they still came out at the same time in July

I'm in Nova Scotia Canada - so I'm always planting about a month 'behind you' - - could you do a video please on the 'amount of sunshine needed for various plants" - - I have a bed that only gets about 5 hours of direct sunlight during the summer & I struggle as to what 'crops' to grow in there.............Thanks so much - happy gardening to you and Tuck!

@justYouJesus1God Ай бұрын

Can you go over and list on the comment section or pin it what crops you saw on the ground and what crops you start inside. You name so many of them and I can't keep track unless I see it on visual. Like which ones do you put in the square foot gardening I already lost track, thank you for your video

Strawberry Spinach does well in areas that don't get sun all day long. So do actual Strawberries in pots.

@Stryke_Gently Ай бұрын

I have a very similar set up for my beds. It’s super hot in Florida during summers so both beds f my beds are in heavily shaded areas and each get about 5 hours of direct sun while the rest is incredibly shady. We’re having a very cold spring (was 50 degrees this morning after a nasty wind storm the day before) but even with the cool temps, I’m noticing that eggplant, peppers, cucumbers, potatoes, onions, garlic, and tomatoes are super happy and full of life… while only 3 out of 12 kale took off and the rest sat almost dormant. Brussels sprouts don’t seem to be enjoying the lack of sun either. Broccoli is sitting rather dormant as well.

I like the 1 ft. square board you have- can see quite a few uses for that. I do most of my gardening in a greenhouse (it’s really cold here), so the square foot method is very important to me.

Many of those "Spring" crops can't be planted until fall here, too. It just gets too hot too quickly. On the other hand, I was harvesting peppers and eggplant in January.

@@elisabetk2595 I'm in zone 8 -- 8b, probably - but since I'm in the foothills of N California peppers and eggplants in January are not on my agenda! On the other hand, that happens for my friend in Baton Rouge sometimes, if the rains don't drown everything. Interesting how different a zone can be...

@michaelsherron5750 Ай бұрын

is it easier to maximize companion planting with square ft gardening?

@selecttravelvacations7472 Ай бұрын

@@michaelsherron5750not necessarily. Sq ft gardening is a guideline only, though some take it very very seriously. Often, plants like to be closer together so don’t think sq ft gardening is the only way to go. Group planting in 3’s and 5’s in a zig zag formation allows you to put in more plants that are still spaced as they should be. It’s a beautiful, more natural look as well.

@beckysnead8914 Ай бұрын

Interesting that you mention planting onion sets in April. I did this last year and they didn't get ginormous or anything but they were plenty large enough. I've seen so many KZfaqrs disrespecting and advising not to plant onion sets. I'm in northeastern Maryland, so maybe you and I are in just the right planting zone for this.

@rachelholdt6840 28 күн бұрын

The reason not to plant onion sets is because they have already gone into dormancy once. Onions are biennial, which means they produce the bulb in the first year and go to seed in the second year. Onion sets already think they're in the second year, so even though they may bulb up, they won't be very good for storage, and many may try to go to seed. I either plant seeds early to transplant, or if I'm buying, I'll buy onion plants instead of sets. Hope that helps!
