Mint
Bamboo
Corn
Dill

don’t grow strawberries in containers
In segment 2 Joey and Holly talk about The impact of intensive gardening
intensive gardening is a more extreme form of companion planting gardening that is space saving and efficient.
There are many methods of intensive gardening that can include traditional rows, container planting or intensive mound group planting. Most incorporate some form of companion planting, however.
The advantage of intensive gardening is the amount of garden space it saves. Intensive gardening grown in containers can be a way for even the urban dweller with no garden space whatsoever to enjoy fresh produce grown on their patio or deck.
Square foot gardening is a commonly used method of intensive gardening that most often uses a box divided into one-square-foot growing compartments. A tomato plant for example, may require the sole use of a compartment, while crops like carrots can be seeded over the entire area.
Intensive gardening done in containers on the patio may include a potted tomato to a variety of lettuces and spinach grown together in a container.
Intensive gardening can also be used with the vertical garden and would include vegetables grown in trays suspended in rows on the side of a house, apartment or fence.
Succession planting is another way to use intensive gardening. In this method, vegetable varieties are planted in succession as the previous crop fades by simply being planted in the spot vacated by the previous crop. Corn grown following the harvest of cold weather peas is an example succession planting.
In segment 3 Joey and Holly talk with their guest Kelly Smith Trimble of http://kellysmithtrimble.com/. She is an author, editor, and huge vegetable gardening advocate. She lives in Knoxville, TN and recently her book, Vegetable Gardening Wisdom hit the shelves.
1. You like to use lettuce as a mulch - how does that work?
2.Some people swear by the use of compost tea - what is compost tea? Is there good or bad compost tea? How does one apply this to their garden?
3.We’re approaching tomato growing season in the upper midwest - what is your go to tomato tip that would apply for us and what is a tip for those who already have tomatoes in the ground?
4.What a recent mistake you made in your vegetable garden you know you shouldnt have done but did anyway?
5.We dont use a mechanical tiller but do use a garden fork - are you a tiller or no-tiller? How do you feel about tilling?
6.Where can we find your book and more about you?
Segment 4 Joey and Holly answer gardeners questions
Q: What light transmission row cover should I buy for melon,squash, watermelon? I need one for spring when I transplant them out, and one for fall, Sept 14 is our 1st frost date. So they dont freeze. Can I get a cover that I can use in spring and fall? Or do they need to be 2 seperate kinds?
A: one kind for spring and fall here is a link that talks more about them https://extension.umd.edu/hgic/topics/floating-row-cover
Heavy-weight FRCs (1.5-2.2 oz./sq. yd.) are usually used to extend the growing season in spring and fall, allow 50%-70% light transmittance, and 4º-10ºF. of frost protection.
If the cold won’t drop below 26° F, take advantage of AG-30 row covers. At 0.9 oz. per square yard they give warmth to your plants and transmit 70% of the sunlight. The balancing act is more sunlight, slightly less warmth.
You can also find cover on amazon
Q:what is a scoby?
Q: are cover crops good

Segment 4 Joey and Holly answer gardeners questions
Q:Betsy ask:I have grown leeks for years, but lately they are almost all bolting. What is going on?
A: the most common answer to that questions is that a the leeks are planted when it is cool as we do then it get warm hot early in the season then cold again then turns to summer the up and down of temps effects the plant to make it think it is in it second year of growing so then it bolts my suggestion would be to wait a little longer before planting them so the risk of up and down temps are less
Q: Roxann what should day and night temps be for planting these cool crops u talked about?
A: It is more about soil temps then air temps it the soil it a steady 45 to 55 degrees then you can plant. you can check the soil temp at root zone with a digital meat thermometer works well
Q Hey I’ve got a Rutabaga that sprouted. I felt bad for it and put it in some water. Now it’s growing. It has multiple sprouts. Is there any way to plant them?
A:Because Rutabagas are biennials, if you plant the Rutabaga, ultimately you will get a big bushy plant and a flower stalk, and possibly seeds so that you can grow even more rutabagas. so if you plant the sprouts it will not grow on their own
Q If I transplant some watermelon and squash outside, should i put a row cover on them or not?
A:watermelon seeds indoors six weeks before spring's last average frost date. The seeds will germinate in 10 days when the soil temperature is 65 F yes a row cover low tunnel would be good to get a head start on the seed
Q:This is my first year trying it out.I would like to know some tricks to treat the soul before we plant or some products that you use. I also came across something regarding epsom soul and tomatoes, could you please elaborate on thAt.
Q:Maralee Something ate my tulips maybe rabbit ? Squirrels? Any thoughts.?
A:rabbits have been eating them.Rabbits love tulip

A: It is more about soil temps then air temps it the soil it a steady 45 to 55 degrees then you can plant. you can check the soil temp at root zone with a digital meat thermometer works well
Q Hey I’ve got a Rutabaga that sprouted. I felt bad for it and put it in some water. Now it’s growing. It has multiple sprouts. Is there any way to plant them?
A:Because Rutabagas are biennials, if you plant the Rutabaga, ultimately you will get a big bushy plant and a flower stalk, and possibly seeds so that you can grow even more rutabagas. so if you plant the sprouts it will not grow on their own
Q If I transplant some watermelon and squash outside, should i put a row cover on them or not?
A:watermelon seeds indoors six weeks before spring's last average frost date. The seeds will germinate in 10 days when the soil temperature is 65 F yes a row cover low tunnel would be good to get a head start on the seed

Segment 4 Joey and Holly answer gardeners questions
Q:So I just transplanted my starts about 3 days ago. They all now look sad. Will it just take a few days for them to perk back up after roots set?
Also after transplanting they take up a lot more room, this in turn has them spread out a bit more then what i think my grow lights cover. im in zone 5a with a last frost of may 11th roughly. Is there a way to test the light at my plants to make sure they get enough? if not when can i start hardening them off and taking them out to my unheated greenhouse?
A: Typically yes they will look sad for a few days after transplanting do to rood shock just keep them watered and warm and they should come back if you did not damage the roots.
There are light meter they can be bought to test the light strengths. You can also put your tomato plants the farthest away from the lights because if they do get leggy you can just plant deeper. I would not take plants out to the greenhouse until the night temps are 50F steady in the greenhouse they maybe enough warm gathered during the day to keep it that at night but also day time temps may get very hot too.
Q: Newbie here! My hubby and I are experimenting (me with soil/him with hydro)We built a raised bed 4'x4'x16" and filled with garden soil from a local nursery and topped with compost from horse/cow barn. I plan to put 4-5 Early Girl tomato seedlings in it soon. Would it be too much to add some summer squash zucchini plants between them? I have a house rabbit and will have plenty of season long pellets to add if needed Just worried about crowding roots.
Q:Johnny
I'm confused about sometimes hearing that there are things that can be planted as soon as the ground can be worked...I live here in southeastern Wisconsin as well and I have everything prepped for planting and ground is thawed...Can I sow radish and beet seeds right now even though seed package says after danger of frost ? Thanks
A:Yes you can radish and beets as Colder temperatures (26-31 degrees F.) may burn foliage but will not kill broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, chard, lettuce, mustard, onion, radish, and turnip. The real cold weather champs are beets, Brussels sprouts, carrots, collards, kale, parsley, and spinach.and beets
Q: Kim ask Another indoor seed starting question--plants are coming up and are under grow lights. Do they still need the warming pads or can I use the warming pads to start some more seeds?
A: once the seeds have come up you do not need the heating mat anymore
