Thanks Patrick! I've been searching your vids for a top down view of your garden plan!

Beautiful garden as always :)

Glad I found your videos. I just moved this summer from a home in zone 7 (which had a lot of garden space) to zone 5 and a much smaller space for gardening. We are currently in the process of turning a lot of lawn on the south side into garden and putting in a greenhouse. It will be a big learning curve for me to grow where it's so cold. But your videos have been very helpful and inspiring. Thanks for doing them--I hope to watch often.

I planted Lovage but I don't know how to use it. It's a bit strong tasting . How do you use it? Also, where did you buy your Tristar strawberries? You mentioned the price on one of the other videos and I've never seen them that inexpensive anywhere. Thanks!

Just found your site. Do you have a video that shows an overhead view of your yard? I am just moving to a 5th of an acre home and wondering how much I can garden. I LOVE gardening and downsizing is hard.

your garden is so cool i wanna have a garden just like this in my back yard btw im from trinidad so its kinda hard to get some of the varieties of crops u have i hope to get some soon

Thanks for your videos I wanted to ask about tomatoes the flowering comes but after time they dry up and fall off what could I do to correct this.

Wow that is a lot of food and looks great! Does your family consume all of what you grow?

Wonderful tour of your garden, everything looks great!

I was wondering do you have a video on your trellis tomato system... thanks! 😀

Thank you for the recommendation, I think in another video you offer a recipe. Thank you so much for all your help, Patrick!

You are amazing and your garden is gorgeous!!!! I want to start gardening now, is it too late? ( I'm in upstate NY). What would you recommend Please? Thank you =)

Great tour, loved it, thanks for taking the time to do the video. I have been cautious with my tomatoes and peppers, too. Lugging them in and out every night for a couple of weeks now. The night temperatures refuse to warm up this spring.

it's nice to watch a gardening channel that avoids all the gimmicky stuff. your results speak for themselves. thanks for the entertainment.

Hi Patrick, Cold frames did a great job, will you be using any extra fertilization for broccoli ? Potatoes doing great as well, hoop house is going wild :)

Well, I am indignant! I have never seen a bad video from you nor Dale, how dare they?! You give great information and easy to copy instruction. So what's not to like? The kale and chards are about the same as mine carrots as well actually-used Siloe's no thin method. When I see plants I am growing looking as good as yours it definitely keeps me inspired, how's your spinach going? mine looks kinda sad right now.

Everything looking good Patrick. Amazing how well you are doing. Nice tour thanks. It is still very cool up north. Best wishes Bob.

Thanks for the wander around the patch Patrick. Is looking fantastic as always. 👍

is it OK to direct seed black eye beans in nw Chicago suburbs now?

I'll join the Chi-town branch of the hater-hunter posse! . .. lol
