Haha, your commentary is hilarious.

HOW DID UR SKY SCRAPERS DO? I LOVE SUNFLOWERS, THIS IS MY FIRST YR PLANTING THEM, AND MY 1 YEAR DOING STRAWBERRIES, IM IN CT- THANKS FOR HELPING :)

Any day above ground, is a good day. :)

Ray, when you hit a worm with your shovel and cut it in half, doesn't it make two worms then?

Ray, you have a great sense of humor. I like it anyway.

I like this guy

How many of those do you have you in your garden ? the square frames ?

My dog eats tomatoes and oranges as well as grass .. she also has grass growing out of her butt like your dog does on occasion .. haha

Thank you for all the info on strawberries and asparagus.

Thanks for these videos! I just love your voice...so soothing!

a great video, I've always seen your name on people comments about how much they love your videos and advice..I don't know why I didn't subscribe to your channel a long time ago!! I am constantly searching for advice on my plantings and how to do things. You gained a new fan here! :)

Thank you. I will let you know how it turned out. Thanks again.

Hello Mr Ray. I'd like to know if its possible to pick-up asparagus plants that grows on the side of the road and transplant them in a box like yours ? I've asked this question on another video, got an answer from a viewer that told me not to bother and buy new crowns. I'd like some details on why it is preferable to start with new plants. Since the asparagus are near from a produce farm (1/8 mile away), I thought it would be nice to give it a try and its free. Thank you very much.

haven't had much luck with my four year old asparagus bed. I have been mulching it and hasn't produced as much as I would have hoped. Is mulching bad for them? I am really bummed because I didn't have enough to try to can this year.

half a worm will survive and still reproduce caught that - so dig away... i do the same however my gardens are now so loose i can just use my hands to dig down and plant

For the asparagus seedling, do you need to thin it ? Last year, I bought the seedling and I thinned it so each shoot is spaced in the soil. Or the shoots will space it itself automatically along the container ?

i would love some of those tobacco seeds when u harvest them

here paralel 30 , climate for cocoa plantations here are ok ?

Hi Ray.. I just saw on peppersgrowing's video that your cantaloup vines have already two or three fruits growing.. The vines i'm growing are huge and green but i no fruits yet.. There's a tons of male flowers but i don't see any female flowers.. Is there anything i'm doing wrong that prevent female flowers from showing up ?
