The garden is doing great! The weather has been rather mild and the spring veggies are doing well. I harvested some Winterbor Kale and included a quick video on how I froze it for use later this year. I have a problem infecting my tomatoes plants! Yikes! I show the problem and I think I have figured out what is going on....we shall see! I hope it does not spread throughout the garden. Suggestions and tips appreciated. :) Borage...what a great companion plant to attract bees to the garden! Thanks to the subscriber who recommended it. Please leave a comment if you were the subscriber...I am having trouble finding who to give credit! :)

so helpful as usual! thank you!!!! just got back and attacked my garden, 2 months away lol

nice update Donna!

Thank you sooo much! I went through about 20 video comments looking for your suggestion...but I could not find it. I will be planting Borage again. Smiles!

It was me that suggested it. Youre welcome.

Build it early, in January, so you can get your spring veggies in for spring! :))

I love your garden so much it is really beautiful to look at thank you for the video and I am planning for next year a 4X8 bed any tips thanks.

Your garden is doing great as always. Thanks for the tip on how to diagnose the wilt problem : )

Thanks so much! It is a Sony 9.1 Mega Pixel Cyber Shot digital camera. I liked this particular one because of the zoom capabilities, even though the pixel was low.

Hi D, Your garden is flourishing... great video... I'm wondering what type of camcorder you are using? Take Care, Candy

Thanks for checking it out! :)))

My goodness that is hot! I miss growing tropical varieties of tomato plants from when I lived in Florida.

Funny! I did not know you have 2 channels...I am subbed to them both! :))) I need to research the problem w the cuc b4 it gets out of hand. I saw about 3 nice size cucs this morning!

My Italian Oregano did fine in a container, next to the house. My Greek Oregano did fantastic in the ground. However, my winter was not too cold, and rather mild this past year. I have not grown Sweet Marjoram ... yet that is... :))

I have started using Pyretherin for insect problems and it works great! It is derived from the Chrysanthemum,

Use Neem oil.

Hey, Donna - didn't know you are in zone 6b as well :) Since you are, I have a question for ya. Does your Italian oregano and Sweet Marjoram overwinter outside well for you ?

Everything is looking nice! My cucumber plants have the same kind of damage but a little more extreme, taking out whole leaves. I think its from some kind of small flying insect that lands on the leaf and drains its fluid, not sure tho. btw this is my metal detecting channel my gardening channel is chrisgrowingorganic : P I subbed to you with both accounts so I wouldn't miss a video :)

Hi Donna love your videos! My garden is taken off its great! I think I have a sunflower finally growing.. take a look.... I looked up my zone lol were the hottest it seems Zone 9b: 25F to 30F our heat can get up to 120 at times so watering twice to even three times a day is vital. at the moment it get up to 102-108 which is HOT and I water twice daily. but my veggies are growing beautifully. Ill be adding more beds soon. happy gardening

great video. thanks 4 sharing

You have such a lovely garden! Sorry to hear about your problem with the wilt. :-( The rest of the plants look wonderful! Thank you for providing continuing inspiration for me as I am going on my second year of gardening! :-)
