Hi, I have what appear to be cutworms on some of my plants. The BT product you recommend only kills once they are actual worms/caterpillars. I think it better to destroy the larvae in or on the soil. I couldn’t find anything on Amazon for this purpose. Can you recommend anything? Thanks much! PS – Love your channels and all the great advice.

What zone are you growing in? Thank you!
Very helpful tips. I’m in zone 8b but just planted onions late to just use for pest deterrent only. I had room and they are very shallow so I’ll just throw them away.

Recent New Subscriber! Awesome garden! Great video as always, thanks for sharing and all you do! To help save money my family and I have started a small backyard garden. We're learning how to homecan, seed save, make compost, and preserve what we grow. Every penny saved helps. Less than 2 years in our new home and we've completely transformed the backyard. We are beginner gardeners, growing and learning along the way. Recently I started a gardening channel to help encourage others to begin growing as well. No time better than now to learn self sufficiency. Thanks again for all you do, your channel definitely helps me stay motivated for my family. God bless!

Per your suggestion, I started Abu Rawan tomatoes from seed this January in my toasty zone 9. The plants look terrific. I’ve had tomatoes on them for almost a month now, but they are all still green with no sign of ripening. Do you recall if yours took a very long time to ripen? Love your videos! Always organized and interesting 🌵😎

To what degree have you noticed that it actually works? Game changer, or moderately effective?

Now if there was only a plant that would repel diseseas.

Great video Dale's dad! (sorry i don't know your name). I surrounded my first time growing with brussels sprouts with Allium flowers and marigolds but the marigolds seem to have been eaten?!

Only a tiny amount of rain in London in the last 6 weeks. The small amount of baby snails and 1 slug from another bed was tossed into the composter. We added slug pellets just in case but do mice/rats/ birds eat this too?

Yeah for sure, fingers crossed, the garlic and tomatoes are doing great, so thank you for that advice last year. Those two self seeded tomato plants that i took in over winter are already flowering! I didn't realise how flexible they were for planting deeper at an angle. A few inches taller now than the new tomatoes but so great to see some early flowering. Marigolds at the front are doing great too.

One of the brambles has some aphids but looking forward to the nasturtiums to come through for us when the heat picks up!

So far, overall so good! Wood chips aren't doing too much for weeds so i might but a straw mulch. I am planning to grow mushrooms for the first time so might bulk but the straw. It is my first time doing mulching.

We collected my dads massive oak tree leaves. I feel so bad for him 70ft prob 20 ft wide. We haven't tried but i think it would take at least 3 people arms out stretched to reach around the tree. It is protected but it also shades out his only garden space in his 1 bedroom house. Bird crap and tree crap isn't much fun. I think it is called katkins? that are falling now. Then tree sap and then the leaves. Cheapest house he could afford out of London before my Step mum passed away but it is so isolated in the Surrey Hills/ downs area.

On a side note, he just got his disabled car badge. I worry for him and would take him in, in a flash. My Mother in Law passed away in Feb. She lived on an Isle and the lockdowns were terrible for her, especially after losing her partner in 2018. It's just like a reverse of us kids leaving home for the first time. Just like the cycle of life.

Anyway, I love seeing the updates of your garden and your advice and tips. Some things we can't control in life but also there are some positive things we can do to make life easier so thank you x

I just started working at an organic veggie farm and we do this too. Just interplanted scallions with broccoli.

What variety of garlic do you grow here in Wilmington? I haven't been able to grow any successfully here.
