Very helpful. Thanks. I've been moving volunteer lettuce plants. Most survive. I'll try using boxes and other forms of shade to see if my mortality rate declines. I did not know that greens and root crops could be sown closely, thinned and transplanted. I'll give it a try on beets that need thinning. I really appreciate that you shared this. I'll be watching for more videos that will help me get more out of my limited garden space. I've been following your channel for a few years. Keep up the good work.

40 lb bird seed plastic sacks. One under the rock, tied, the other to glide the wrapped, tied rock across. I use these two also to slide under the car for oil changes also - no fuss/muss on the shirts.

Thanks very much. We have goutweed in a patch of native perennial and it has taken a lot of work to begin to slow it down.

Glad your doing well enough to hire a camera man..lol. I had started swiss chard in March under cover then in May moved it outside spaced well. Your lot looks really nice!

Love that you have a camera guy now🥰

Thanks for the tips on tricking the plants! Been doing a ton of transplanting...even corn (totally surprised it worked...did it during a rainy evening). I dont have the heart to kill any carrots when thinning, so the extra carrot tips are very helpful That garden is looking so full already, great job!

I didn't know that you could move carrots, good to know. Thanks

Won't pruning off the biggest leaves (that will wilt and die anyway) help, and give you a micro-harvest at the same time?

Thanks, Greg! Your garden looks great. I'm a month behind you on Aspy Bay.

A better part of a weekend? It would take me about a week to make that amount of woodchips with a regular 3" woodchipper to make that amount of chips working full time all day. Lol I still have a chipper and use it because they're useful, but my first big load of woodchips was seeing a truck in my rural area towing an industrial woodchipper and I flagged it down. They dumped about 12 cubic yards of chips, and they refused any offer of money. They did give me their card for the company they worked for though if I wanted more later, and now I pay $50 for them to come out of their way periodically to deliver instead of themselves paying to dispose of it. I'm in rural Eastern Ontario, and options like ChipDrop are not available here.

Can you use fire cement to set the fire rope

Thank you for the demonstration. It helped.

Thanks so much - I've never tried a haskap! I'm thinking that would be good to make a hedge out of. I'm lazy when it comes to cooking - I'd do it by weight so I don't have to transfer hot syrup to measuring cup and back. I'll try a small batch 1:1 and adjust for sweetness.

New sub here; this is one of my favorite videos ever. Your are so very right on tractor comments. Your simple, easy, cost-saving nature is oddly very relaxing to listen to. Also, the slight humor mixed in is a delight. 😊 Do you have a recommendation for the length of hookaroo?

Ratio recipe for the win

Great job thinking out of the box! Thank you so much.

Greg, thank you for the Haskap cooking video! My thoughts: you mentioned once that strawberry freezer jam is superior to water bath canned strawberry jam. On the other hand, raspberry jam is better as a water bath canned jam. Is the Haskap jam better as a freezer jam or a water bath can jam? I’m guessing water bath canned jam since that’s what you’re doing. What do you think about adding lemon juice to the jam recipe? Or are the Haskaps acidic enough? I would like to see how you use your bird netting to cover the Haskaps. How about showing how you net your Haskaps during one of your garden tours? If I don’t say it enough, your channel is the best garden, cooking channel on UA-cam.

I wish that Hascaos would grow in Virginia but I think it’s too warm.

Thank you so much for this recipe! I love that it is done with proportions rather than set amounts. We grow our own hascaps too and my family just loves them. I got 22lb of them this year! They make a terrific topping for cheesecake and I made a hascap crumble this season too which didn't last long in our house. Last year, I made hascap jam but I cheated and used Certo, following a blueberry jam recipe. It was delicious but perhaps a little too gelled. For the optimum ripeness of hascaps, I find that they are ripe at least a week after they colour up completely to purple. I think many people pick them too early and then are disappointed in their flavour. And ya, covering them with bird netting is a must.

Thank you for sharing. +Continued Blessings to you & yours+

Thanks for the video. I just remembered that my aunt gave me some frozen haskap berries from last year! Think I'll take those out of the freezer and give your jam a try.

I love dill potatoes...

I smear garlic on steak before grilling. I wonder how that would work as the paste. Maybe just not too thick.

Did you follow up on this?

One can buy boric acid to puff around and or use diatomaceous earth to do away with ants. Borax is toxic is to humans and animals a very broad statement - dose is everything.

Borax is boron, a trace mineral and in the right dilution or dose is actually helpful & healthy to people and plants.

Can l dry garlic leave to eat

WONDERFUL!!!!

So did your vine survive

Great video! This single mom and boulder roller thanks you ❤

Tons of wild Saskatoon (June/Service) berry bushes/trees in Ontario I have 6 trees at 25’ and numerous bushes at the berry peak picking time right now, great on cereals or ice cream but better to make pies with!

A video about the construction of you dome bed cover would be nice. Thanks Bruce

Greg, I had an idea about varmints eating root vegetables. In my garden the varmints eat my sweet potatoes and my white potatoes, but the varmints never eat my garlic. What if we take the garlic greens and garlic stems and bury them in the potato patch. The garlic greens have a very distinct garlic smell. Would the buried garlic greens keep the varmints away from my sweet potatoes or away from your saskatoons?

Helpful- thanks!

Greg, I’ve noticed that when I store my seed garlic my garlic cloves dry out or desiccate. Do you have any suggestions on how to preserve seed garlic for the next season?

I bought a wheelbarrow a few years ago. One of the best garden investments I have made. I didnt have a lot of money at the time and got one on sale, and it was a cheap model. But it does what I need it to do and its in good shape still. I use it more for dumping than shoveling out, and transporting heavy things like containers and bagged products. It has some of the flaws you point out, but what likely keeps it in good condition is I always put it in the shed when I am done with it. Thanks for the video and I will keep it in mind for when I have to replace mine.

When not in use store them with the handles down and the wheels up leaning on something. Leftover deck stain and sealer works great on the wood. If you can store it out of the elements even better.

I was my mom's garden slave, weeding an waterning and now i love gardening.

flat free tires are really bad for really heavy loads, light and normal loads they are fine but full of gravel or sand or wet soil they get harder then if had flat tire.

I have both a heavier duty 2 wheeled wheel barrow and a regular 1 wheel barrow. I find that I choose one over the other depending on what weight of goods that I am planning on carrying, how tight my path is, and how rough the terrain is where I'm headed with the barrow. The 2 wheeled barrow can indeed carry more weight but it is a much bumpier ride than the traditional 1 wheeled barrow and turns are tough. If I could only have 1, I'd choose the 1 wheeled barrow.

Greg these are the videos that I can relate to the most. Like you, I try to keep up a garden while also having many of the same day to day obligations that you do. I just like to spend time out in the garden but there are days when I look around and only see all the things I haven’t completed or started. It can be overwhelming but I can’t live with myself just letting it all turn to weeds either so I’m slowly refining and perusing an equilibrium of what I can grow with the time and space I have. Keep up the good work on all your channels. I don’t know how you do it all TBH

I am married to a metallurgical engineer. She spent her career studying corrosion in marine environments. This is what I learned from her: dissimilar metals in a wet environment will suffer from galvanic corrosion. It’s a battery!

I have had a crappy old traditional wheelbarrow for over 40 years!

You make some good points in what to keep an eye out with a new wheel barrow!

Greg, to treat the lumber, try boiled linseed oil. It’s a good wood preservative. I actually apply boiled linseed oil to my raised bed boxes to extend there life.

I always buy the "contractor" model. Just scrapped my old one that was at least 25yrs old. My new one has a run flat tire and Fiberglas handles.

I like a two wheeled wheelbarrow. Easier for an old fart.

im leray of putting jars in my freszer i can see glass every where already.

I was in British Columbia when the Hyundai Pony came out. They rust out fast here, i can't imagine how fast they must have rusted in N.S.
