  1. I really enjoyed the tour of your gardens. Your property is huge. I always enjoy the vegetable videos, but I also enjoyed seeing your pond and perennial beds. Thanks for taking us along with you. It's raining again here this morning, so no garden time for me before I have to leave for work. From my window I can enjoy my pink peonies, purple dames rocket and Oriental poppies. Sadly, I lost my Graham Thomas rose over the winter. I've had that rose for over 20 years so it was upsetting to lose it for no apparent reason. I guess I'll be making a trip to the nursery to see what I want to put in it's place. Then I'll have to find rooms for the "extras" I found and just had to have. LOL

  2. My plum/pluot and cherry trees also have little to no fruit set this year. I had was thinking it was based on the colder spring and frosts, but I do think that you're right, our hot summers last year probably played a part. I am in the Yakima Valley area.

  3. Beautiful! You mentioned all the critters that you deal with. How do you deal with raccoons getting in your vegetable garden? I am at a loss as to how to keep them out. Thank you.

  4. I just want to thank you for the tip about the ag fabric. It has been a game changer for my pak Choi, spinach, chard, kale, etc. Such healthy growth and no pests, unlike last year. I walk out there and think "This is almost as abundant as Susan's garden this year!" I plan to make pak choi kimchi very soon and dry my kale for winter use. Just love your videos and gardens – thank you for sharing

  5. Loved the tour today. You have your own nature path in your backyard and you have no mowing to do. Nice to see the snow finally gone. Do you cut off the potato flower buds?s Have you heard of any problems with bush beans and edamame started in the ground? I had to reseed 3 rows of one brand, but another brand popped right up. Actually planted mid-May as L.I., NY spring cold. My edamame is taking too long. Thanks

  6. Really nice tour! I just ordered more Greenstalk accessories this morning – wish I had watched this earlier. I've had deer snort or blow at me when I come into MY garden as if they don't like my disrupting their meal. I even had a tiny, just born fawn wonder in without a Mom and he ran back into the neighbors uncleared acre. I hope he found a Mom but more than likely, some hunter finished her off even though this is an established neighborhood. I like venison to eat, but love my grand kids way more! Hunters shoot all the wild turkeys each fall and deer whenever they want to. I WISH I could put a moose in here to give them a little chase LOL.

  7. Fantastic. Informative and beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to give us the big picture Susan. Would love to see more on your water garden in future. I’m struggling with overgrown water lilies!

  8. I so enjoy your videos! I'm picking lots of tomatoes due to our heat wave, but am not complaining. Will have lots for canning soon, am enjoying big slices right now. Have had good luck with a new variety I got at Lowe's, "Summer Sandwhich"

  9. Nice to see your whole setup here. As someone else already mentioned, please do another this fall. Rain certainly helps, doesn't it? I wish we had some!

  10. I loved the tour, it was a great idea! Such a great place you have created around you. Thank you for showing us around. Greetings, Judit πŸ™‹

  11. I am surprised that you have Siberian peashrub in the water area. I thought they were quite low water users and I don't water mine much. They don't seem to be doing great (Layton Utah). Maybe I've not been doing the right thing

  12. Susan, I thoroughly enjoyed your lovely garden tour. It's nice to have a computer again, mine died several weeks ago, and I've been catching up on so many missed YouTube videos. I would love to see some drone footage of your gardens; it helps give a better perspective by seeing it from a bird's eye view. Happy gardening to you and Bill. ~Margie

  13. Susan thank you for the whole garden tour. I am a Master Gardener from Pierce Co. WA . How is that tower garden watered? From the top ? is there a reservoir in the bottom with a pump? Looks cool, and you can roll it where the sun shines. Love all your tips. I too live out in wilderness on 3 acres .
