    Thank you for not heading your videos with "you'd be silly not to plant these now" or "you'd be foolish not to plant these now" or "you MUST plant these now". I appreciate you just saying what I could plant, not that I'm an idiot if I don't.
  • Brian, you have become my 5th kid. I miss you when I dont see you. You are loved by this momma and gardener. Happy to see your face. ❤
  • Enjoyable video. No hyperbole or invasive music etc, just a real person with a real voice of experience in this area.
  • The sheer amount of bees I have at my new home is unreal! I couldn't be happier. No one in my area sprays so we still have quite the abundance of every type of bee. Will be growing vertical with squash now
  • @debbybrady1246
    Okra, sugar pumpkin, gherkin cucumbers and Hubbard squash just planted in my garden 💚

    “I grew up eating fried Oprah” 🤣 I love that you kept a random Blooper in your video 💕
  • @gelwood99
    Zucchini is my all-time favorite, actually yellow zucchini, it is sweeter than its green sister! It is great on the grill cut into "planks" or cut into chunks, cooked in butter and onion, and finished with heavy cream for a very tasty keto side dish!
  • I JUST planted beans and cucumbers (first planting). I don't feel so behind now!

    Brian, I love to watch your garden videos. I have a large backyard here in SoCal inland, and though I didn't do much gardening as a young person, I grew gorgeous tomatoes and strawberries. My dad, in his time, grew delicious boysenberries (so much better than blackberries, by the way). Now in my 90s and chugging along with a walker, gardening does not come easily. However, I encourage anyone with a growing spot to use it to the best of their ability. My nephew has a number of raised beds in his small yard. He brought me some beautiful tomatoes a few days ago. He or other family come over and water my little peach and avocado trees. Your videos are the very best I have seen. Besides, when you flash that wonderful smile, it lights up the world.
  • I was glad to see the pine shavings for mulch... That's what I'm using.😊
  • Love your July planting guide, I also plant cilantro to grow through winter
  • @heather9984
    I love this video! Here in Texas my garden has been battling the heat, bugs, and diseases for a while now and it looking sad and spent. I’m excited to know I can plant some fresh things!
  • @melindaroth5796
    Oh Brian WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Someone else is coming on pretending to be you ? He only has a couple thousand subs so I knew it wasn't you. So Happy you're back.❤😊
  • @blackbones15
    Okra is sooooo good. My grandparents were born in Oklahoma and she taught me how to cook fried okra in bacon grease and coated in flour and cornmeal. Oh, so good!
  • @nellanddudley
    I've been growing my squash vertically on stakes for about 4 years and trimming leaves as they grow. I'll never go back to letting them sprawl because it's easier to control pests and disease when I grow them vertically. You're spot on about the bees...they're more likely to find the flowers if the extraneous leaves are removed.
  • @377caprice
    Brian. Praying for you 🙏 Take as much time as you need. We'll be here. ❤❤❤
  • @user-ug5sb6qg1u
    I got my garden in late this year, my cucumbers just started flowering, but I'm also gonna plant again soon for, hopefully, a fall garden. And I had some extra space this year so I planted my corn in a spiral, just for fun.
  • @Dhjh69
    So glad you’re a fried okra fan! I grew up in Rome, GA. But when I moved to Maine for three years, they’d never heard of it nor knew how to fix it! Great reason to move back South, haha!
  • @PossumPityParty
    1:47 you just made me so happy. I never thought to do this and my yellows always get eaten up. Thanks!
