It is amazing how little time you spend in the garden for the amount of food you are getting! 1 hour and 36 min is nowhere close to what a part time job would take up! You were doing a lot of prep work too. Looks like you have the work smarter not harder retean down to a pat.

Hello! Thanks so much for your videos. They are so useful as I plan my first backyard garden for next year. I browsed through your videos and can't find any on how you wter your garden. Do you use drips or do you hand water?

I've taken your advice and double layered my garden trug bed on my deck.. So, far (zone 4a) I've still have my zinnias growing and some spinach .. We've had minus temps and snow so far.... Looking forward to seeing just how far I can push the growing season in northern Ontario, Canada

Hi Pat, Another great video thanks. Could I ask what are those white grids are you’re using to discourage the squirrels from digging in your garden beds? I was ready to buy the reinforcing metal grids used for concrete work for next Spring until I saw your lighter white grids you are using. Butch

one yard revolution, i just recieved a comment on my comment to you. reading my own comment i am seeing omfug. i never put that there. i started out with thank you! not omfug. so starting out on the down side of up trying to figure out how to remove notifications to videos i have already watched and liked, now i see omfug. i don't even know what that means and i hope i'm guessing wrong as i don't quite know all the new lingo in texting. i am finding out about marsmallows, lollipops and kitkats though. which just makes me want to start a bonfire, make a smores out of this smart phone and once toasted to perfection, bury it in my garden! any help on the omfug would be helpful.

1hr 35 min!! I must really like hanging out in my garden. lol. Your's looks great! I like the idea of a high low hoop house for super cold climates. I wonder, does your kitty damage the plastic cover? Your videos are really well made. thanks!!

I ended up spending a LOT of time in the garden this past Summer, and Fall. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed every minute. One of the things I found helped to reduce time investment, but still get a lot done, was planning ahead and limiting my goals to only a couple of the most important things per day, rather than trying to do everything I wanted to do.

my beds were barren this year due to personal issues. however, they're now weeded, covered in leaves and have card board over them in preparation for spring. I've also been grabbing bags of leaves from a neighbor's house who has a large wooded lot. 12 so far. ;)

Hi Patrick. I love your videos! What are the white grids you use to "squirrel-proof" your garlic? You may have mentioned this somewhere else already, but I can't find it. Thanks!
-
The reason your poke beans did well was because you we're honoring your wife's wishes😊
-
Great video idea! Hopefully this shows people how long it actually takes to have a garden. It can be easy to assume you're spending all day out there to have such a productive garden

Those elephant garlic cloves were huge. I just planted Soft Neck Garlic, three varieties, for the first time hope it survives our winter.

Nice one Patrick although I remain a little worried about you as that cat of yours seems to get more fierce as time goes by and I fear for what it might do to do one of these days!
Disaster has struck me as relations between me and my house mate became so bad over the Summer that I had to leave and move in with a friend just over a month ago now. My new house mate only has a very small garden and he doesn't give me the same energy as my previous house mate and I do not have the will to work with plants and compost. I really do miss the energy my previous house mate gave me although I do not miss the animosity that eventually existed between us. I long for a solution to my situation as I often think about being able to work in a garden again but really do not know how this will come about.

Thanks so much for the information that you share in your videos. I always wondered how you built your cold frames. Seeing the square wood frame that you set in the raised bed for garlic gives me some ideas on where I can use that in my garden.

Awsome

Thank you Patrick. Another successfully related video on gardening and how you do what you do so that we can do it too!

''As rare as the Cubs world series championship'' That's a good one haha!
Beans, peppers and tomatoes, oh my! ;-)
We already had our first snow 2 weeks ago, thankfully it all melted so I can still do some gardening.
Really have to show what a beautiful job the landscaping company did last week, been planting, sowing grass, moving rocks...so much to do before all is covered with snow! -
When do you pick up all the tomatoes and diseased leaves that have fallen on the ground to prevent them from infecting the soil?
