This is it! We're at peak season. I'm harvesting soooo many tomatoes, peppers, cukes, squash, eggplant. You name it! It's been a great season, of course with its fair share of problems, but overall I'm really happy. Follow along and comment with any advice, and let me know what you're growing in your garden. I'll be back next month with another update. Cheers! For recipes and more information, head over to http://coleycooks.com.

hello, i like your video! thank for sharing.

Great update. Can't wait to see the new updates :)

Nice garden! Good to see you're not anal about weeds. Keeping the soil shaded is a good thing,stays cooler,moister, friable and promotes desirable insects.

Great channel Coley 👍👍 I love your enthusiasm 😃😃😃

Wow great garden! Awesome Video.

i subscribe to your channel i hope you subscribe back and checking out my channel. : ) Doug and my four girls that love to nag and boss me around for food and garden treats Doug ;)

Great video Coley! do you have any recipes for swiss chard? Thanks for your videos! =)

Great thing you diversified the tomatoes. Imagine having planted one variety and they all got hammered. (cringe) I did the same but i wasn't so lucky. Blight got one greenhouse and killed it and then the little tomato tent, killed it. Now i have 1 greenhouse left that actually produces a small handful of yellow cherries called 'millefleur' on one side, which is still hanging on and on the other side some 'roma', the standard italian sauce tomato, pretty blight resistant but doesn't stand up to the other... thing i got going on in there, can't seem to be able to determine what.

I refuse to spray stuff. If i need to protect it from nature, it's not part of it. Removed! I will be trying some wild sellection of 6 varieties next year. Was also available in a 12 variety pack but lets be frugal. :D They are more disease risistant usually and i wouldn't mind having a taste of what actual wild tomatoes taste like. Should be fun. I love your tomatoes! You have some nice ones there.

Yummy, butternut squash! My vines are only just starting. We have had a terrible early summer. Planted lots of squash and pumpkins so they're all small but plentiful. Tired of zuccinis yet? I threw in the towel with my 10 plants, sliced them paper thin and dried the slithers on a clothes drying rack until nearly dry, then crisped them on a cookie sheet in the oven. Saved some precious freezer space. Might be able to eat them as chips if you season them? Haven't tried it but maybe you will.

ohh my goodness, here is something you should try next year. Cucamelon. Tiny grapesized cucumbers with a bit of a lemony taste. So gourmet, i promise. First thing i do is jump straight from the scooter into the greenhouse and stuff my mouth with those. None have made it to the kitchen sofar.

Glad to see your garden doing so well!

Great video, thanks for sharing!

Great tour of your garden. This is my first year of growing an urban garden and have had great success thus far. I live in West Chester pa and aside from the heat this summer my bounties have been absolutely amazing. I have really enjoyed the videos posted on both your channel and Gary Pilarchiks channel. Such a wealth of information. These videos have really helped me from start to finish. Thank you for all of your time and efforts. ;)

Hey great tour. And I think you did a great job managing the tomatoes diseases. I think you got duped on the orange jalapeno though. Did you start them from seed or buy a transplant? They look like those specialty baby bells that are sold in grocery stores. Which is still cool. My tomatillo got so large it split and it has a bizillion flowers but no fruit yet.

GREAT UPDATE

Yay for butternut squash!

Expect recipes from those BIG butternut squashes! :)
Plz tell me again what the name of those peppers that you said were your absolute favorites.
By the way, all my jalapenos were VERY mild this yr and other gardeners have said the same thing so you're not alone! :)
One more thing, LOVVED this vid & others however the music is drowning you out! :( Happy Gardening!

Spoke to my brother who returned to your state after being away for about 2 weeks, and he was greeted with peppers and tomatoes ready to be harvested. Down here the only summer crop growing is okra. Tomatoes have perished in July. Trying to save two bell peppers, but not really concern. In my next video I'll talk about seeding broccoli and cauliflower. Nice harvest and update.
