🙌 Thank you so much! If this rain would stop I'd love to get back out there. Don't mind working in the rain, but would rather not plant potatoes in it. 🥔

🙌 Thank you Ted, that's awesome! Wasn't totally sure when the scapes showed up (so will be keeping my eye out for the curled bit), and love the olive oil/ice cube tray tip!🧄🧄🧄

Anything that can help the garden, I'm down for. Looking forward to seeing the results on our little experiment! Will definitely be pruning them much more diligently this year though, that's for sure. 🍅

Thank you for the knowledge on the tomatoes! Definitely keeping up with the pruning this year 🍅 - the Ash Borer has really done a number around here, pretty much wiped out all the trees.. and the ones remaining are quite sad. Only plus about it seems to be the lumber, because other than what they do just under the bark the rest of the wood is nice and dandy!

🙌 Thank you! I totally agree though, if it was between camping or choring, I'd be in the woods. ⛺ Next weekend maybe!

Hiya Joe! We water them a few times a week - all dependant on the weather really. There's zero shade in this area until well after 5:00 pm, so it gets scorching hot there. I have a water gauge I put in the soil to give me an idea of where things are, but the plants droopy level usually tells me if I need to get the hose on lol.

🍅 It's always tomato time! Honestly, last year we weren't anywhere near thinking about planting at mid-May, we even took herbs inside one night in June with a frost warning... but this year summer seems pretty hell-bent on showing up as early as she can, so who am I to say anything about it? ☀️

OH NO! 😮🍅 What happened to the tomatoes???? It's really early for us to be sure, last year when I built the herb garden boxes in June, we had to bring them in for fear of frost... I certainly hope that's not going to be the case any time soon, but it does seem spring has arrived and is in full force. 🤞

@@simplewoodslife it was more self inflicted. Going too hard too fast as well as too early. Plants started inside, got too big for my area and I had waaaay too many. Eventually I threw my hands up and said I can't do it and I'll start over outside. 😂 Next year I will have my outdoor infrastructure built before spring, plant my seeds in April, and try to automate a few things.

@@farmasaurus Gotcha... that sucks though, I love me some tomatoes. Hear you on the infrastructure side of things, Ms. Lady and I are looking at building a potting shed/greenhouse for us to start from seed and getting a little setup going. I couldn't imagine trying to start in the house with where we'd have to do it + dog lol.

@@simplewoodslife we had to give up a bathroom to make it happen. Haha. Great stuff man! Keep it coming!

@@farmasaurus 🏆🍅 holy cow, now THAT'S dedication!!!! Will do, thanks for watching!

I didn't realize it took years?! 🤭 We had planted asparagus a couple years back and it didn't do too well... the following year it came back, but we yoinked it out given how poorly it did the year before. Whoops! 🌱

@@simplewoodslife the greenhouse I work there it was traditional we sold 3-year-old asparagus seedlings would you grow in a trade for 3 years first nobody in lower Michigan had it for us you had to handle it a very special when they went to hybrid roses we stopped got too expensive to selling roses the lady that taught me a traditional lady she lived through the depression she taught me a lot I was always hanging out with my grandparents who are the the older people in the group for wisdom ever since I was a kid
