If you plan on growing blackberries, I strongly recommend planting a thornless variety. Black berries are extremely invasive, and the plants with thorns are absolutely treacherous. However, the ones with thorns do make a great barrier to keep people out of an area.

We had a cultivated blackberry along our hedge. Lovely big sweet but tangy fruits. We bottled them for winter in a light syrup. I used to strain the fruit and make blackberry crumble for dinner (we had dinner at dinner time about 1pm) and add gelatin to the juice to make a jelly (jello?) For tea.

I don’t know about other geographic regions, but when I lived in north Georgia wild blackberries were plentiful. But I only went blackberry picking twice. Tiny red bugs you can barely see that we called chiggers live around the bushes, and they burrow into your skin without your knowing it. The next day you’ll be itching like crazy. There must be ways to protect yourself, but I just went back to buying my blackberries at the grocery store.

Tuck is such a good garden guardian. Our furball needs some lessons from him - he decided to “help” last year by pruning our blueberries and brand new apple trees.

Our dog used to help with the weeding. He considered it a game of tug. All you had to do was wrap your hand around a stubborn weed and he'd come take over and pull until it was out (although if he couldn't get it out he'd then proceed to destroying it as much as possible by biting and clawing - seemed to take a personal offence if he couldn't get it out. Such a great dog. RIP Rangi 🥺)

If you look for greenbriar tips, you can munch like he is doing on a good, crispy tasty veggie for free. In the SETX big thicket environment sometimes I can find them that really are like small asparagus. The inside a thistle plant stalk is better than celery. My livestock likes them a lot. Chokecherry makes good berries but you have to process the juice to drink it. Poke is another great weed, that you have to get an oldtimer to show you how to use safely, but poke n egg is worth the trouble. I am not great at gardening so I forage what I have, and in nearby wild areas.

I love rosemary. I am propagating one right now. I took a few cuttings from our big one. I am going to put it in the ground. When it gets large enough, some of the stems get woody, i cut them at about 12 inches. Drop them in a bucket of water for about a half hour. Get your wood fired grill going. Thread you meat and veggies on the rosemary skewers and plzce on the grill. Much better than bamboo or metal skewers. The other benefit to rosemary in the ground, your dogs and cats will rub against it as they walk by. It is a natural flea repellant, and your pet smells great.

I moved quite a distance from where I grew up but still somehow in same climate zone - yet I noticed significant differences; so I can only imagine that moving way out of your accustomed zone to be 🤯 (not necessarily in a bad way). Not that I haven't considered it - was in love with the idea of growing all those bulbs and stone fruits - until I spent a week in Spring in that zone; and I thought I had bad allergies before then - my nose and throat were bleeding a couple of days in. Guess I'm better where I am. Hope it's going well for you though

My house when I was a kid had a relatively normal backyard and then one day we put a SINGLE sprig of mint in a flower bed. before we knew it the mint killed all of the ornamental plants in the flower beds by outcompeting them, even spreading into the lawn. I had never seen anything like that. but then a bunch of blackberries from the next property over came from under the fence and eventually choked out the mint. I didn't think anything could beat mint but apparently the only thing that can is a gigantic overgrown bramble

Hi James. I'm in Sylacauga, AL zone 7B. This year, I added a Lapins cherry, Stella cherry, North Star cherry, Yellow/gold plum, AU Rosa Plum, a lemon tree, Honeycrisp apple, and Fuji apple tree to my garden. I am experimenting with growing Wine Cap mushrooms in a straw pile in the shade of a Maple tree, I have radishes, kohlrabi, Arrow Peas, Oregon Giant snow peas, assorted lettuces, Imperator carrots, mustard, potatoes, chard, Red Beard bunching onions, garlic, Elephant Garlic, White Creole bulbing onions, Seascape Strawberries, Thyme, Oregano, mint, and Spearmint growing. I have seedlings coming up for catnip, yarrow, chicory, peppermint, and parsley. This morning, I transplanted the first of my warm weather crops into my raised beds and GreenStalk Towers, peppers and tomatoes. Tomorrow I'll finish with the transplants, zucchini, crookneck squash, lemon squash, basil, ground cherries, cucumbers, Hearts of Gold cantaloupe, and Sugar Baby watermelon. I'll also sow seeds for pole beans, dill, cilantro, marjoram, more carrots, and parsnips. I have a pretty big garden with 14 raised beds, a small orchard, an in ground herb garden, 3 GreenStalk towers, 18 ten gallon growbags, and a few assorted pots (for mint and a lemon tree). I enjoy watching you and Tuck tend your garden, and reap the rewards.

I would like to add one perennial plant to your list, which is rhubarb. Have you ever tried to propagate your blueberries? I would love to try it. So far, I have only succeeded in propagating red currant. But I hear that red currant in one of the easiest berries to propagate.

We have 3 rhubarb plants in our garden that were planted in 1962! They're still going strong and occasionally even having babies. We've gotten 2 new rhubarb plants in recent years, because I forgot to cut the flower stalk. 😂

@@jodibraun6383 Yes, cutting off the flower stalk is also important when you want to keep your lovage growing strong year after year.

@@JS-jl1yj Good to know! Thanks! I'm growing lovage this year for the first time.

@@jodibraun6383 I harvest the dark green leaves early, before the flower stocks appear. I tie the leafy stems into small bouquets and hang them upside down in the kitchen to let them dry. I have also tried drying just the leaves in my dehydrator on the lowest setting. Both work equally well. I store the whole leaves in an empty large plastic containers from yogurt. Storing them in an opaque container helps to keep their dark green colour. I crush them in the palm of my hand, by rubbing them with my finger just before dropping them into the food. Lovage gives a lovely taste to soups and stews. I got a small root of this wonderful herb from my cousin. Originally, I planted it in a very sunny spot, beside a link fence. My neighbour didn't like it when some of the leafy stems managed to grow through the fence to his side. To keep peace, I dug it out late in the fall, while the ground was not frozen yet and transplanted it in a spot next to my garbage carts where it gets only about 6 hours of the afternoon sun. It is happy in its new spot. I have had it for nearly 20 years. I do fertilize it in the spring with all purpose fertilizer. It does not attract any pests. I hope that you will enjoy yours as much as I do.

Thanks for all the lovage info! Celery is one of my favorite flavors for soups and I’m excited to get some of that flavor without the work of the long growing season to get celery plants going

James, 2 things….. 1, I have tons of strawberry plants. They get tons of flowers, but never make an actual strawberry!! Why?!?! 2. You should grow hops. The young hops are as good as asparagus and they come back every year. Plus you can brew beer or make tea with the hops.

@susie9893 12 күн бұрын

Also good for summer shade if trellised, and supposed to be great for chickens. I've read recommendations of growing them over the chicken coop - great idea imo

Tuck is a great gardening buddy! I like seeing him on the show and it's nice that people learn what types of fresh veggies their pups would enjoy and benefit from.

I think it's a good idea to consider your pets in your planting design. Not only does it give them the opportunity to free range and thus get nutrition they most need; but also can help with behaviours by alleviating boredom (eg. lessen the likelihood of MN zoomies in your cats by giving them undergrowth they can prowl thru during the day)
