GARDEN UPDATE TOUR - 07/15/2018
This one goes out to @mrchef111, who I recently met here on steemit and have been enjoying a lot lately.
He's got a pretty sweet patio garden out in Arizona featuring some great fruit trees. I wonder if he'd be interested in getting a few free Pitaya cuttings to try growing some Dragonfruit from my own plants.... They'd probably do a lot better for him out there...
Here's a sneak peek of one of the highlights of my garden this season! It's the "Gourd Tunnel" featuring the Snake Gourds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed company! We've really been enjoying these lately and we're getting a lot of them! Just now I prepared six freezer bags each with a complete stir fry meal for this coming winter. To see more, check out the video!

Really nice brother. I can see the work you've put into that. I've got a smaller garden out back with some similar plants. The Malabar Spinach is a favorite of mine. Love my ass paragas as well :) The rock work you've got going on is somethin' else by the way. I should know as mines done the same way and I drove around and collected them load by load till I lined out my beds. It was work but enjoyable. The peek was much appreciated! TY
Wow! Cool to hear that you did yours the same (similar) way! I love free resources like that!
Yeah me too! Mines not near the size of yours though. My back yard is somewhat smaller and, at the time, I was learning about the "square foot" gardening method so I built 6 of those. I used 6' dog eared cedar fencing from home depot for the beds and a butt load of rocks all throughout the garden to out line it. I'll tell you though the best thing I ever learned and did was mulching. Replenishing the soil is key but I know you know this too. I saw some soaker hose's in some of the vid and was wondering if watering rules your life with it being that size. My garden takes some agua and I can't imagine the time you must spend watering or not? hints? Nice job by the way! Eating live food is the way to go.
Hello @papa-pepper, I admire your garden, you are really good in gardening. I believe you love plants, something that most people in the urban are don't appreciate anymore, but the first video you shared, I like how the man did his garden, it encourages me to do the same. Thanks for sharing sir...God bless!
Thanks man! Glad that you enjoyed it! May God continue to bless you too!
I really love that gourd tunnel! I have never seen anything like it- ever! You have some pretty amazing plants from everywhere in the world! I have never had luck with currants! I hope your apricot tree grows up f-a-s-t! You grow sorghum? Wow.
Peppers. LOL Of course. Tabasco? Hello? You are just a grocery store! Well done, Papa Pepper! By the way, the loofas are awesome!! I have a million figs and we loveeeee them! I am excited for you and yes!!! I love the garden! It is sooo cool to grow all those different things in one place!
Is there anything that you don't grow???
Tip!
Yes, tired of gardening!
That was the only possible answer!
Steem on!

Great garden and super enjoyable to watch. Gonna make yourself independent of the grocery store. Healthy, organic and something super satisfying in eating a meal that was harvested off of your own land. God bless the peppers!

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:
It should be sneak peek instead of sneak peak.Good catch @grammarnazi bot. If you were human, you might understand how that can happen when you've got five @little-peppers running around you making noise while you're hard at work trying to steemit and finish your post. I've edited it now, all thanks to you. Most likely @vcelier or @simms50 would have caught it anyway, but they were beat by the bot this time~
HA...yeah I probably would have noticed it! I'm really not trying to be a pest, you know that right @papa-pepper?
That's a pretty good garden on your video...it's so large...
Keep sharing...
Thank you! It is!
