So...One day, I was waiting in line at Gaskos in Monroe, NJ for it to open and began a conversation with several other patrons. After a few minutes discussing our love for gardening, we began talking about our favorite KZfaqr, James Prigioni. It was so fun talking about Tuck, the crops you grow, and your wonderful personality. It's no wonder you have over a million subscribers. We are all fans!!! Thanks so much for the information and the encouragement!

The Moringa Tree is very resilient tree, just put that bucket in your garage or closed porch in the winter time & it will survive, the leaves will die out but the trunk will still be good, just keep the soil moist. Then bring it out in Spring time or when there's no more freezing temp. It will sprout back...I have 3 growing in a bucket too for 3 yrs now & still thriving in Zone 6. Moringa is also medicinal, the crashed leaves(to get the juice out) is applied to a small cut & it will stop the bleeding acting also as a antiseptic. The leaves are also good when mix with any chicken soup dish.

you are missing a powerhouse veggie, from Baker Creek it's called "Yod Fah" or Chinese Broccoli. the white moths pass over it in favor of brocc/cauli so it is nearly pest-free, plus it produces all summer (however best to replant early August for younger plants thru Fall). It has a thick stem plus minimal flower head but also the immense leaves are edible....cut or break off the ones with the tiny flower head and eat, MORE will follow! I grow mine with thick mulch, into October (zone 3b/4a midwest) love love love my Yod Fah even more than broccoli.

I live in Sugar Land, Texas - zone 9. Our summers are long, hot, and humid so; it can be challenging for many plants. This is the first year I’ve grown okra - I’ve planted the Clemson spineless and Jambalaya varieties. I’m very impressed with how well it’s doing and how productive the plants are. It seems the hotter it gets the faster it grows. No problems with pests or disease on the okra either.

Dazzling blue kale is also my favorite kale. It doesn't seem to get as bitter in the spring as other kales. It's also the kale that won my husband over for kales.

I'm in the same zone as you, and my cucamelons re-seed themselves in force. They just started resurfacing about two weeks ago when things started getting hot. Most vines are already about a foot long and one is probably a smidge over two feet. They tend to produce well and aren't subject to typical cucumber issues while having a zesty cucumber flavor. All I did to get them to reestablish on their own was put down a little bit of straw at the end of the growing seasons on top of a few cucamelons that got old and fell to the ground. Easy peasy!

You need to grow Chayote. I've mentioned it a few times in comments. The seeds are the fruit and are the size of a softball. It's one of the easiest, most robust, disease resistant and prolific things I have ever grown. It's like a cucumber taste with the crunch of an apple. It's our favourite thing in our garden. Try it. It will really blow your mind. You don't even really plant it. The seed sits half in the soil and puts out a shoot that finds the ground then uses the energy in the fruit to build a crazy root structure and these insanely strong invincible vines. Nothing impacts it. It just grows till the snow comes.

The amaranth that you use as a trap crop is better steamed with green onions, onions tomato, sweet pepper, butter or olive oil if you like and a little black pepper. You can add shredded cod, chicken or whatever you like. You can eat with a staple of your choice. Funny to see you eating it raw 😮😊

The summer vegetable I would suggest is yardlong beans. Usual American varieties stop producing when temps get over 90F, but Asian yardlong beans love those conditions and also tolerated the Delmarva area's ridiculous humidity well. The flavor is similar to snap beans. They just need to grow up a trellis because the beans really will be 2-3 feet long. The leaves are also edible (as most beans leaves are) - just blanch them and season how you like.
