I have cucumbers in the regular ground Dirt and my cucumbers are thriving.

Some great tips there Gary! I bought a small basil plant on discount from a UK supermarket about 6 years ago i think. I have been propagating them since then. I put them in water for 2 weeks and then put them in 2 pint plastic milk bottles to establish and then transfer to our 25cm pot indoors. I have several in one pot and give away a lot. The leaves i remove when propagating, i dry off and take fresh from the big pot. I am just removing the garlic that we just inter planted with the tomatoes. I did save some spares for someone but as it has been some weeks now, i might plant them in the place of garlic so i can re start the process of propagating. I also tend to slow down propagating during winter months as they grow more slowly. If leave it too long the stems will get too big and harden off brown, so i try to keep on top of removing any leggy green stems. Anyway, Take care!

Great video as usual Mr. Pilarchik, but I want to learn from your failures please.

Gary thanks very much for your ideas.❤️

Great advice thank you

Thank you Gary for a very informative video!!!

Great video! I have not used basil cuttings to make basil vinegar but have steeped basil in olive oil to make basil olive oil. I also make pesto out of the excess basil cuttings and freeze in small canning jars. I add a little olive oil on top of the pesto to preserve color. It keeps in the freezer for at least 6 months.

I got a late start on my garden. I just planted cucumbers, summer squash, a honeydew, radishes, beans. So surprised how quickly they germinated. Hoping to get some harvest. I think im in zone 5. Chicago area.

I had so much volunteer basil last year that I didn’t plant any this spring, thinking I’d have a ton more volunteers, but I got 3 lemon and a couple regular plants.

My lemon basil makes such a good tea with my lemon thyme. It definitely doesn’t produce as many leaves and wants to flower but it’s worth it.

where did you get your sprayer?

Hey, how deep of a container for onions and leeks? I have Alison Craig (the big one) as well as smaller red onions. I also have leeks, which I wish to place in containers as well. Both the onions and leeks are currently in small pots ready to be transplanted. I live on the west coast of Canada.

I was just saying I keep topping the flowers and every week they are back. Now I know why lol

Love this, thank you! Question: I'm out of peat moss but I do have a cube of co-coir on hand. Would I need to add anything additional other than what you've already suggested? Thanks again for all you do.

Thanks for the video- I’ll make sure to shade my basil as appropriate. Question: Do you have experience growing Everleaf type basil? It says it holds off flower production 12 weeks longer than other types. Would it still be helpful to prune to increase branching, so to speak? Also, does basil propagate from cuttings easily? How does it compare to starting from seed in terms of length of time until harvest?

I always wait too long to plant my basil and slack on succession sowing and here I am getting schooled again I thought when the flower was at the stage it changed the whole flavor of the plant🙌🏻😂😂 maybe it’s ok at the budding stage?

THANX! I've been doin flower cut 1/2 right LOL😜. I DO like 2 LEAVE a few PRETTY varieties to BLOOM, bc it brings BEES. Great idea for the vinegar & shade cloth 👍. My bunny LUVSSSS BASIL🐰🌿.

Great advice!

My basil gets Downy Mildew by the mid to late summer, every year. I’ve even planted the Eleanora basil which is supposed to be resistant to it, and it still got it. Do you have any recommendations with how to stop basil from becoming afflicted?

It’s June 26 here in southern Colorado, Zone 5A-6B…. The temperatures here have been abnormally high for this time of year. We are in the high 90s and with this extremely arid climate my basil is struggling. I found if I shade them 80% of the day and water them moderately 3 times a day and fertilize once every two weeks, they are thriving… My Basil tries to flower even though the plants are not producing lots of leaves. Should I leave the flowers on? Thank you for your video Gary. Love from Colorado..🐝🏔️ 🪴

I need to pinch farther back!

Thanks for the great info 😊

Love the channel most of the time. But it’s demoralizing to hear a Gardner talk about using chemical fertilizer and pesticides. I know you know what this stuff is doing to the ecosystem. You shouldn’t be teaching ppl that’s the way to do gardening.

What about hot peppers? Does this apply to them also?

So helpful. Subscribed! ❤

What do I do if I think I have too much nitrogen in my soil. I'm waiting on new capsules for my home testing kit. I have a lot of green growth and not too many fruits.I use compost, agro thrive and espoma garden tone. I'm in central Florida 9b. Thanks for sharing your videos. Any advice is welcomed.

Started mine in a tray until I could find a spot. This tip will really help.😊

Can I use them for actual plants? Like Gardenias and flowers plants without killing th3m?

I assume if your happy with flowers/buds the following year the fertilisation process will happen in winter so no need to put them out in the cooler weather in that circumstance.

Squirrels love garlic, i had to cover mine for the past few years

Thanks for your expert info. I am getting only flowers from my second year plant, as yet at the end of June…no backberries Will they still come out?

I just did this on an area of rock I will not plant on…poison ivy growing out of it…do I still need to pull it? Or will it just go away? I also have a rock area behind my pool that has tons of weeds everywhere. Do I just spray and wait. Like the weeds just disintegrate?

What are your thoughts on the sq ft gardening metod?

Wow look at this! Duhhh

NC here, frustrated by lack of rain. Watering daily with this city water which is costly. Rain barrels are empty. I have some kind of plant empathy for things in pots. Trying to keep perennials alive and composting suffering annuals 😢thank you Gary for showing everything and not just picture perfect plants. Motivated to keep on keeping on…

anyone try this burying plastic pot in the ground with cannabis

Lovely~

I live in northern Arizona and I was told that diatomaceous earth works. I've been using it for the past month and so far it's working. I'm going to try your water method just to make sure

I absolutely love your videos and the knowledge you share. You’ve inspired me and helped my confidence in growing and maintaining my garden. I was hoping you were talking about squash vine borers instead. That is my biggest issue here in Zone 9…Houston, Tx. I’m out there at least 3x/day hunting for eggs which are laid at the base and occasionally on the leaf stems. The adults fly quickly and rarely sit still long to be caught. The squash bug you’ve presented here is a problem on my tomatoes and cucumbers. Do you have a solution for the squash vine borers? Would love to know your thoughts about the Robber Fly. I’ve never had an issue with them until this year. Thanks so much.

Do you use different ratios for different plants (cukes, squash etc)?

I harvested my tomatoes 3x,already I still have lots more to harvest and that's only 1 seed( big beef). My Zucchini just keeps on going...harvest after harvest. I stir-fry it with pork and Sautéed. I just water 2x daily and fish soluble fertilizer 2x a month. I never purne any of my tomatoes, peppers, Blue Cobra chiles I just let be lol. Every year it's loaded even in 115 degrees( Phx, Az)

How are your garlics doing?

Another idea. A girl at my work passed away, I took two large trays of my volunteer tomato starts into work with a nice sign to take a free plant or 2 if you want to grow one in her honor. They all got taken!

You put on the neem oil and then washed it off when you watered.

Have you had any problems with vine borers on butternuts? My understanding is they don’t really bother them because they are a different species from summer squashes.

What's your experience with BT for vine borers? its organic.

The thermometer on my porch, in the shade, was 102F this afternoon. I don't even want to think how hot it was in full sun. Zero rain this month, and extreeme heat has everything dried out. It is the first time I've seen the grass die off since living in Sylacauga AL. To keep the garden going, I have had to switch to daily watering. The exceptions are my fruit trees which get watered every four days with the newest trees, two peach and a crabapple, watered every other day, and the GreenStalks and raised bed tomatoes watered every other day. No signs of fungi, and pest pressure is sunder control. I am harvesting something nearly every day, peppers, pole beans (red noodle beans this year), lemon squash, zucchini, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The Sugar Baby Watermelon aren't producing as much as I had hoped for, but the cantaloupe are doing great, with more female flowers for future fruit. I think the watermelon need more sunlight. I may try growing them in a different location next year, and double the amount 0f cantaloupe. The chicken run was delivered this afternoon. I'll inventory thre parts tomorrow, and assemble it Thursday and Friday. The chick's wings are fully feathered, and their tail feathers hacve grown in. They are making a mess, learning to fly, dust bath, and scratching the pine shaving bedding. I have to clean the waterer multiple times a day. One more week, and they go in the chicken coop. It is fully assembled, and the perimeter of its run is lined with concrete pavers.

Hi Gary thanks for this video.😊❤

Hi Gary, I went to Jamaica for ten days and returned last Friday to find my garden looking like it had an heatstroke ask someone to water for me, but I think I would have done a better job inspite of the heat, however they started bouncing back. Had to give them a lot of TLC and shade cloth😢
