Come and tour our garden, where I grow most of my family's food. Things are thriving and the harvest is just about to start coming in. Start growing your family's groceries and beat inflation at the store.

    Interesting comment about the usda zone. It’s all about probability so even if you only see 15 below once a decade your perennials will still have to live through that rare cold snap. Like my zone is 6b but we’ve seen-24 F one time in my lifetime and-10F a couple more times.
  • Please share how you don’t have any weeds. My garden is new, just the second year in this location and it is aggressively trying to turn back into forest. I laid cardboard and wood chip mulch in my walking paths but it isn’t enough. Your garden is beautiful!

    The garden looks fantastic! I"m in zone 5a, but I'd agree that I think our old one (4b) is what it really is.

    So much good information! Your garden is huge, so inspiring!
  • In your climate I’d try growing Italian stone pines. They are the pine trees that produce those fancy pine nuts the grocery stores charge $30 a pound. Also my favorite food is pomegranates. Can you grow those? And fig trees would be fun too.

    I hope you take us along when you process some of your tomatoes. I’ve never made marinara sauce. Also, do you have a video of your pickle technique? Love these garden tours. I’m in Maine and we just put our gardens in a couple weeks ago.

    Do you happen to know the name of your blackberries. Im in north Florida and have alot of varieties. Love the the garden tours and the information you give is really great. Thank you for all the hard work you put into doing this for all of us to see and learn from.

    Would you mind sharing the variety of berries you grow? We are in Texas but very hot humid most likely 7B also though they say we are eight

    I was curious about not seeing any mulch. I live in Florida and if I don’t put mulch down, the plants cook. Do you use a mulch or just keep your drip system on all day?
