Remember the bushes I had pulled out in the last video? If you have room on your property to put the “brush“ you can make a habitat for wildlife.

Think before you plant. These once tiny bushes would have inevitably compromised our foundation and the sidewalk. Will the root system be invasive? Will the mature plant be an appropriate size? Is the plant going to “bite” you?

Don’t be quick to pull everything out of your garden just because it looks “dead.“ Flower heads are a wonderful food source for the bees and other pollinators at the end of the season. #Fall #GardenCleanup #Pollinators #Bees

The hardest part about making a squash arch is getting your cattle panel home.

Making a squash arch is simple, except transporting the kettle panels to your house. I will try to find the tutorial I did on transporting them. You WILL need a pick up truck for this. kettle panels measure 50“ x 16‘ long.

Well maybe growing vertically on a squash arch IS an addiction.

I absolutely love growing things on a squash arch. Growing anything vertically is the most efficient way to save space in your garden. #SquashArch #VerticalGardening #SquareFootGardening4U #ContainerGardening.

Here in the US, we tend to throw away a lot more of a plant than most other countries.

This is a good reminder that not everybody has the same circumstances or the same physical capabilities to garden. Let’s show a little grace to one another.

July 2017. This spaghetti squash grew in 2 sq ft of Mel‘s mix growing medium that was just 8 inches deep. The vine was almost 28 feet long. And yes, medium size squash can grow on a squash arch without support.

Here’s another video on tomatoes at the “mature green stage/state.” See! They really do ripen indoors. #Tomatoes #GreenTomatoes #SquareFootGardening4U

This is another way to store seeds. And this is why I put the seeds in the refrigerator. #Seeds #SeedSaving #Garden #VegetableGarden #SquareFootGardening4U

I have deer, squirrels, and other critters, so I pick my tomatoes when they are a very light green with just a little blush of color. #Tomatoes #SquareFootGardening4U #Gardening #VegetableGardening #VeggieGardening

Honored that my second book, Growing Herbs for Health, Wellness, Cooking, and Crafts, won a Silver Laurel Media Award from Garden Communicators International. You don’t need a “medicinal” garden when you have culinary herbs.

I love tulle material for my garden! It allows water and sunlight in while keeping the moths out. It’s stretchy and does not snag your plants. #ProtectingYourGarden #Gardening #VeggieGarden #SquareFootGardening4U #RaisedBedGardening

Basic number three of the Square Foot Gardening method is the use of a special soil blend called Mel’s Mix. BTW, I helped finish the third edition book after Mel passed away.
