Wow your getting peppers already? How early did you start thems...mine are just starting to poke out now

Looks like a decent amount. Could always just plant the chewed on ones. I hope you have all the success with your garden.

I have a lot of peppers in my plants, just waiting for them to turn colours - they can be so slow! I'd even be content with somewhat reds for the jalapenos and things haha.

Lol, we just made a roaster of stuffed peppers yesterday. What sweet green bell pepper does the best in your garden? Chinese Giant and Crispy hybrid are both doing great in Z5a. I still need to find tags as I have a King of the North that’s new this year and hope that is producing. I need to get out and harvest today and trim tomatoes. I dread it because the mosquitoes are so horrible.🤯. It’s not been pleasant. I have 2 mosquito zappers going 24/7 and in the evening it’s like fireworks. Everyday we have to clean them and there are thousands and yet I’m not sure if it’s helping. I just heard that if sweet and hot peppers are close that the sweet will retain its sweetness, but the seeds could be hot. True? Then I heard that cucumbers can cross in this year’s cucumbers. Have you heard of anything on either? I can’t believe I’ve been gardening so long and just now learning these things if they are true. However, I don’t know how I never thought about corn crossing and affecting the current year’s corn 😂. I believe we are using similar drip emitter irrigation. It’s tricky to get things right. We had a ton of rain so haven’t needed it until now. I’m finding some 1/4” lines not delivering water evenly.-pepper leaf curl. Then I had switched to granular fertilizer because of rain and I don’t believe drip will help distribute the fertilizer as in sandy soil the water basically goes down and not out. So I hand watered yesterday to get it worked in-then it rained😂. So I need to figure if it’s too many emitters on a zone or plugged lines-don’t know. Maybe will need 1/2” lines, but the emitters are 17” apart and that’s ok for larger plants. It’s the 2nd year of using it and hope it lasts a while.

Howdy, Prairie Plantgirl!👋 Nice picking of peppers!👍Have you ever made stuffed bell pepper soup?🫑 It's tasty. Your peeps might enjoy them in this dish. Stay safe in that heat.💕

A nice pepper haul. Thanks for the share!

Very nice pepper harvest, I need to pick some of mine this morning. Happy Gardening from z10b Southern California.

Amazing work!

Question: I harvested some Warba potatoes yesterday. Not realising that I could start potatoes in pot and transplant before tubers formed: would it be possible to replant the smaller, like 1 inch potatoes, still attached to the root system and stem with leaves and harvest again before fall, as they are early and determinant potatoes?

😘♥♥♥♥♥Thank you PPG for another great video. Please keep posting. Love from NY.

Good day, Prairie Plantgirl and sweet Buster!👋 Ya can't go wrong planting more delish potatoes.🥔😋 You are such a great example of growing what your peeps love to eat!👍 Gardeners create wonderful memories when our loved ones see us joyfully and diligently tending to food they enjoy! Hopefully, your daughter will be happily growing cauliflower or some other loved veg for your future grandbabies.❤ It seems the west of the US up into y'all beautiful land will be receiving the heat we usually have. The cold air coming will push the heat y'all's way. Enjoy!😃 Thanks for teaching us so very much!💕

❣❣❣❣💋

I have no seed potatoes left BUT I’m going to try something I read about: I am going to carefully lift out my Red Norland plants that are wilting, remove the big tubers, leave the tiny ones, trim the foliage back to 6”, and replant. It’s an experiment that may fail, but otherwise those pots will remain empty. Wish me luck!

Yeah, it is a terrible virus that is so widespread these days. People think that it is a "natural" occurrence of a plant, either due to age or even transplant shock. Or they have just forgotten what the plant looked like originally. My brother was given a bunch of plants recently, he asked me about them and I said "do yourself a favour and bag 'em then toss 'em." We did an internet search and they all looked similar to HVX. So we trucked them to the other side of the house to get them out of sight and bagged them up. It was heartbreaking really, they did look "unique" but could not chance it. He didn't know which neighbour left them, they were just left in a box at his garage door when he was out. Hopefully they didn't see us.

Thank you very much for that information! I have a new Patriot hosta that looks weird, I will go to my garden center where I bought it to show them a picture of it. 🦠🍃

Good video . Thanks for doing this and sharing that information . I am sure not many gardeners are aware of it. Glad a viewer caught it and let you know. That was a workout !

They look great! My cabbages are still small because I overcrowded them in a container haha. Waiting for them to size up some!

What a bummer, but thankfully an eagle eyed viewer stopped it. You could have lost every one of your hostas. Won't know for a while if you managed to swerve it. Good luck.

Prairie Plantgirl, you got part of your daily workout in...wrestling with that first hosta. 😃 Thanks for the knowledge. I'm passing it on. Thanks to the fellow gardener who spotted the problem.💕 Hey to handsome Buster!🐕 👋 We have a rare summer cold front coming through, and it sure is nice weather!💃 Till next time!💕

The possibility exists that the heat could also damage the nearby organisms

Hostas can be quite tenacious! I often cut them into quarters from above before digging them up. The pointy shovel is the right tool for getting under them!

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻💜

My garden is on the verge of providing early potatoes, bush beans, and zucchini. I planted too many beans but my neighbors love them. Tomatoes and cucumbers are on their way! What will you do with all your surplus produce? Your family can’t possibly eat all that!

Good explanation and tips.

Great update. Those containers are beautiful! Slugs are nasty, slimy, creatures aren’t they!

Yuccas are one tuff plant. I moved one and if you don’t get all the root it keeps coming back. I started planting them along our path to field as it’s dry as dust and figured they would survive. One is blooming and was surprised as it was small and couldn’t believe some animal munched on some. The Butterfly Milkweed comes to mind when I think of the tap roots both have. They say they don’t like to be moved, but I guess they love it here as there is no problem in this sand. They seed everywhere. I read there are some locations say the same about yucca. Ok I have a question. I have a Romeo and Juliet also. Do they come in tree form and bush? Or do they need to be trained? Had them for a couple years and nothing yet. It takes forever for some plants in my yard. I think it was a decade for a sand cherry(?) to produce. If I had nets on trees with the last few storms they would have snapped. Ugh, the wildlife! We have lush vegetation all around and the worse animal pressure than drought last year. Now we have a bobcat we seen last night and we have chickens. I’m thinking they are getting pushed up from low land flooding. I hope this dry spell and cooler air going forward this week takes care of the mosquitoes also. It’s been some good and some bad and this weather is testing gardeners skills around the globe. You have beautiful garden going for cold country. Lol, I’ve been trying new flowers and I’m finding they just don’t grow fast enough here because of cool nights in late spring and they end up with a flower and hit with frost-Poof! The blackeyed susan is just now figuring out it should climb and most are only 5” and one popped a flower. I have them in several locations so that’s not the problem. We are fairly hot here in the sand and they grow rampant in hotter zones-some I just can’t figure out. And slugs-I have a few in the cabbages with my clay beds. Just be thankful they aren’t huge like in the UK, at least mine aren’t. This rain is causing many plants to be behind so don’t feel bad.

I must have planted turnips a bit late-nice harvest! I don’t recall growing turnips before. Well and the area they are in needs some soil work. Already harvested cauliflower along with other brassicas and garlic. We are on to peppers and hope the tomatoes make it with all this rain the blight started 3 weeks early and plants are not as big as should be. We will finally cool down now that the storms are done and hopefully no more fungus started. The wind was terrible and rearranged things. And the mosquitoes are the worst! There is no way I could be out in the garden dressed like you and not be attacked-it’s bad. Z5a, Wisconsin.

Where did you order the seeds for your Katarina cabbage? I like how small and early they are. I am harvesting yellow bell peppers. I plucked seeds out of a pepper that I bought in the grocery store and put them in seeding soil without even drying them first. They look and taste great. On your advice, I added the dolomitic limestone to my tomato beds. This year, all my undetermined tomato fruit is noticeably larger and the plants are bigger. Thicker stems, much bigger leaves and much taller than ever before.

That is a beautiful cabbage! Will you be making any sauerkraut? I have never grown or eaten turnip. How do you cook it?

Howdy, Prairie Plantgirl!👋 Beautiful, delish harvest!😋👍 You didn't mean to leave those turnip greens behind...did ya! Just cook them like collard or with collards!😋 Thanks for taking us along for the harvest!💕

All flowers need to be removed? Lots of shade is best?

Thank you for the tour. I really am impressed with your planters, especially the orange petunias! How often do you fertilize your flower planters? What fertilizer do you use?

Your yard is looking so nice despite the heat we have been getting. Every year is a surprise...thats keeps it from getting boring. It seems we prepare our selves for 1 bug and another sneaks in when we aren't looking. I make your same face when i encounter slugs...so gross ! Too bad about the chinese cabbage though. Those heads were beautiful. My Kohlrabi is haviing a tough time also. It should be bulbiing up by now . Maybe it has bolted. Now I am scared to look under my cabbage netting 😮 Keep going..you're doing a great job

You have to save the seed from that red petunia. I'm getting Nemaslug next year to reduce the slug load in my garden, it's so bad in wet weather like we've had.

Wow I loved those planters.I am always inspired by your videos and follow your lead.You are a great resource.thanks for helping me

interesting how the garage containers each did their own thing!

Love this garden tour! You have just a beautiful place made with your plants! My celery did so well in June with the cool weather, but is declining now in the heat weave. I will be growing celeriac roots again next year. It does so much better for me. My cucumbers, melons, tomatoes, and ground cherries do fantastic in my greenhouse. I am zone 2 garden, and I would not be able to grow this outside to the fullest.

they like the chinese cabbage because its more tender :-)

i would leave the cabbage. remove a few leaves.. otherwise they might go for your other ones

Sweet garden tour, Prairie Plantgirl and handsome Buster!😃 It's amazing how you bring such beauty to y'all's outdoors spaces!👍 Your planter combinations are lovely! And that cut flower garden...goodness! Wow!😃 I'm so glad everything is taking off in the veggie and fruit areas!💃 I'll be there for your super sweet potato harvest!😃💕 Yay, on the beautiful blooming yucca!👍

Starting from seed is a beautiful thing. It's been a heck of a season for pests here in Ontario. Same thing happened with my beans. Your planters are gorgeous. I would leave one cabbage as bait as an experiment. Great tour.

Mid Ohio from 14 black Krim I've picked around 15 and seeing a Terracotta almost ready.3 salad tomatoes produce since june.3 cucumber plants picked 11 made 2 quarts of refrigerator pickles and couple w/ vinger water fresh. You always have beautiful flowers Enjoy your day

It looks like you are heading into some hot weather there. We too have been having too many days in the 90's with little rain. Been doing a bunch of watering over here too. I hope the weather cools down for you soon.

Thank you!

Such a great video! Do you ever add fertilizer to your water? I'm trying to get my flowers looking better and I'm thinking this might help. Thanks for sharing

Great topic, Prairie Plantgirl!👋 Thanks for the advice...I learned something new.😃 Your planters look great...stunning!👍💕

Thanks for the great advice.

Nice video

Very nice. Last spring i got beautiful heads of broccoli. We had lots of rain and i beat the cabbage moth here in N.Y. But this past Spring no shade cloth and weather got hot way to soon so it all bolted. Im trying again for a fall harvest but will have to cover it.
