So awesome.!!! We also wanted arched planting areas. The cattle panels are also $40.00 here in TN. Only a few friends with trucks, so we stopped that idea. Now we'll look for these wire rolls. Thank you for this vid.

And the foliage is a SUPER fertilizer.

Hi Leigh - lovely tour! I’m catching up on your posts this weekend. This year you look well rested and in a better spot to handle the tomato onslaught that is about to happen. And those blueberries - very sweet! I’m looking forward to your sauce making; next year I want to try that. I was out on a very long road trip with my husband and oldest grandson for the last four weeks, 6000+ miles. My garden survived, but it needs a lot of work next week. I’m harvesting tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, beans, onions, and rescuing what’s left of the garlic. Setting it back to rights is going to take some doing because my watering system only worked for 80% of my garden. I had no one to water it. 😢 As always, I wished we were neighbors and could help each other out.

I have the same issue but your idea of adding wood is helpful

I found the instructions very helpful built. Mine in two days no problems looks great.

Have you done a lead test on the raised beds? I've heard that some internationally sourced steel and paint product from these raised beds can be contaiminated.

I grew Kelloggs for the first time this year and I ADORED it. The fruits were huge. I will always grow it from now on.

This was great information! Thank you!

Nice haul! Now as hot as it is add a head net, glasses, headband, handkerchiefs around neck, T-shirt and long sleeves, pants and mosquitoes and that’s me 🥵. Heat index today 97*! Do share a recipe from time to time. Many of us need enlightenment. Yep, shishito can have a few sparky ones and weather plays a role. I left the Megatron s in the garden and they were ruined by the time I got to them. Ugh, tonight we had a bobcat!😱. Good thing we’ve been locking up the roosties. Poor things wouldn’t stand a chance. Picked up a bird bath today p-heavy-as my old homemade ones were wore out. Birdies are cute! Keep up the good work guys!

❤ thx for the tips on growing peppers!

Leigh! There’s no doubt about it. You are the Goddess of Peppers. I wish my shishitos look like yours. They’re tiny and shriveled. I’ll try some bone meal and blood meal.

❤️❤️🦜🥰

Beautiful video sharing dear sister ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌿💚🐦🤗

Dull ass knife

I adore the fragrance of sweet peas. Thank you! I've ordered these varieties at your suggestion.

My Nasturtiums do not like the Alabama heat😢 I started them inside and then planted in the garden. Maybe I need to plant them in April instead of May next year.

Beautiful. Your hard word has paid off. I was wondering if you get dragonflies at your pond? I heard that they like flat rocks so yours looks ideal for them.

Blossom end rot is more to do with watering. They can’t uptake the calcium and I know you use bonemeal. It’s funny how some plants here produce sooner than warmer zones and most are much later. Trying to gauge where we are at as this has been an awfully WET year so far with 31.69” of rain since March and avg annual is 37”. We will get a break tomorrow-I Hope! Then Sunday through Wednesday more rain. Don’t know what we will end up with if it doesn’t stop. At least with drought I could control the water and NO flipping mosquitoes! 😵‍💫 I do know we harvest tomatoes early August. It’s just a set timing here no matter when you plant. However we had Orange Hats in winter and the Mexican Midgets were also producing. I have already had a Megatron Jalepeno 👏🏼👏🏼. Nice size and vigorous grower. Your garden is really turning out well. We will wait a month and see what we end up with in this swamp. At least I have the sandy soil working for us. Oh, I think the shishitos can be a hit and miss on the heat scale. I see it’s been hot and dry there as the leaves are curled and lawn looks crispy and that weather will make peppers, onions and radishes hotter. What! Random tomatoes-it’s TomatoGate this year? Last year was PepperGate.

Wow your tomatoes look great. My Dr Wyches are not that big at all. I'm in Ocean County closer to the ocean. Actually the tomatoes looking the best and healthiest for me are the Dwarf Tomatoes. Brandy Fred, Uluru Ochre and Baronia. They have so many fruits on three foot tall plants. Its amazing. The Dwarf Tomato Project. Great if you don't have much space. But your garden is just beautiful and so healthy. Good for you guys. Here's to a great veggie year.

So much I could happily comment on. I'll cut it short and say that's a garden to be very proud of!!! I find you & FJ very inspiring. I'm starting out with only grass, well, what is left of it due to the voles. Happy Gardening!

Hi Leigh! 109 here is SoCal. My garden is shrouded in shade cloth. Yesterday I harvested many blushed Parks Whoppers to let them ripen indoors. Lots of harvested zucchini and zucchini bread for family but now the vine borers are settling in even after using beneficial nematodes. They are relentless. I’d say I harvested maybe 10- 12 nice zucchinis this year. My Diva cucumbers are coming along and the first dahlia to bud and bloom this year is Arabian Night. Waiting on 20 other varieties to bloom in my raised bed. I am watering in early morning and at dusk as well as drip system for deep watering twice a week. Our dry SoCal heat just sucks up the plant moisture. Bye for now. You and Farmer John are my garden heroes.

Wow your garden looks beautiful!

Great tomato review video!

I love seeing what seeds you get. Gives me good varieties for my wishlist! The long white radishes might be White Icicle. I grew those with the French Breakfast from MIgardner.

This shed for me is a Nightmare. I have 1 and it only Last for 4 months

Both tomatoes are gorgeous! Now I wish I'd bought Kellogg's Breakfast seeds! It looks like Mango!

🎉 I enjoy your hauls. Your joy is so cute. I can't wait to griw all these and more! Thx for sharing! 🎉 🎉

I'm enjoying your channel and garden tours.

Just assembled mine all by myself, furniture clamps came in handy when you don’t have six hands . Just needed help with the panels . Door was warped but easy to train with a shim jammed into the bottom. Poured a slab for foundation and used tap cons to attach. Main thing was to level foundation and square four walls . And make sure the roof peak has an overhang of 1.5 inches . Thanks for the video, it’s super helpful because I can probably prevent some of those things from happening. We are here in Florida so we don’t expect it to last more than five years or one hurricane but I’ll do my best to make it last . I already love it

I ordered on the 16th, they shipped on the 19th and arrived on the 27th and I’m in WI. I don’t get it just like I didn’t get 2 packs of free pollinator seeds. Lol, I got Shishitos which I have and didn’t plant this year because it’s not our favorite. Mine came in an envelope. So you got free veg seeds and not the agastache or zinnias? Don’t get me started about Swallowtail. Ordered coral geraniums last year and they were scarlet. Told them and they resent for this year-and they are just starting to bloom and look scarlet 🙄. Guess I will have to get orange and I will try coral from another vender and see what happens.

Fun seeing the garden and the seed haul ! 🌺

Baker creek tried to sell a gmo tomato while demonizing gmo seeds. I don’t think they are ethical for other reasons you can look up easily. MI gardener, Seed Savers exchange, Fedco, High Mowing, Botanical Interests, Territorial Seeds, Renee’s Garden, Roughwood Seed Collection, Hudson Valley Seeds, Experimental Farm Network and so many others are more ethical choices.

Everyone should have a stockpile of seeds. This is a crazy time in the world and seeds equal food security. When watching someone's video with sounds of planes, birds, goats, roosters, lawnmowers, parrots, kids or whatever it just makes it feel more authentic, like visiting with a friend. I love watching all your videos.

I'm in Texas so we definitely need higher. Thanks for the video.

Enjoying your channel the past few months... thank you for sharing your passions!

Love all your stone designs!

Awesome green house! Beautiful!

To keep poles from poking thru add solo cups or small seedling pots over them under the shade cloth.

Wow you’re going to have a million tomatoes!!!!

You're gardens are beautiful! Just curious what zone you're in?

Bought mine at Costco last October and it sat in my garage all winter. Just installed it now. No warping and skylight is functioning as designed. Ran electric into foundation before assembly of the structure. Time to grow!!!

I have been searching for reasons my German Pink is having trouble. It's looking like it's getting a bit of blight. I wasn't sure because the yellowing leaves are not just isolated to the bottom. The blossoms also have been falling off. My plants are huge for southern MI but haven't set fruit. It's last of all the varieties to set fruit. My volunteer borage isn't harming my tomatoes yet but I will keep an eye on them. I think it's only Orange Icicle that it is competing with. I'm going to look now.

Thanks for the review of the shade cloths and clips. I actually got the garden clips for less at Dollar Tree. $3.75 for 3 packs of 20 at Dollar Tree vs $9.98 for 1 pac of 60 on Amazon.

Thanks for sharing! It is HOT!

I am growing German Pink and German Queen tomato plants..., the German Queen has potato leaves... the German Pink does not... I think your German Pinks are actually German Queens...

You were in my suggested… lovely channel. I love your hat!

Hi Leigh, Your tomatoes are looking so healthy! Are you suggesting keeping other plants away from your potato-varieties?

Love the garden content! Us KZfaq gardeners have to stick together. Rock and roll!!

I'm having a great tomato season so far to. In section 5 Adirondacks upstate NY. Raised beds trellis like yours with air flow being my priority. Trying new varieties this year . Kellogg's are in my batch for a first time this year but by far the best new plant is called a silver fur tree tomatoes. Very odd leaves / plant. Highly productive, disease "resisting" . Thanks for sharing your plants .

Your property is so GORGEOUS and I appreciate everything you share!!!🌺🌻🌼💗
