Key insights about video GARDEN TOUR 2020 / Gardening in Virginia

🌻 Azalea is sharing a garden vlog on her YouTube channel Way Crunchy, where she has previously posted other gardening content that was well-received.

🌧️ She has transitioned from gardening in full sun at her past residences to part sun at her current home, which she finds challenging but still possible for gardening.

🌱 Azalea lives in Central Virginia and gives viewers a tour of her garden, which includes several raised beds that she has filled inexpensively, a method she endorses.

🌦️ Recent heavy rain has caused some damage to her garden, knocking over squash plants and tomato cages, which she plans to fix.

🍅 Despite setbacks like cold weather and pests like slugs and aphids, her garden includes a variety of plants including peppers, marigolds, and a cherry tomato plant that produces hundreds of tomatoes.

👦 Her son, Tom, has his own gardening space where he grows peppers, Dusty Miller, and marigolds, and he shares his own gardening tips during the video.

🥒 Azalea enjoys growing cucumbers on wire fencing she salvaged, and she emphasizes the benefit of keeping cucumbers off the ground.

🌸 She has started several plants from seed, including bee balm, snapdragons, and milkweed, and provides advice on letting parsley and Swiss chard go to seed for harvesting.

🌤️ Shade-friendly plants in her garden include lemon balm, mint, and oregano, and she shows a happy fern transplanted from the woods.

🌻 Sunflowers are a particular favorite of Azalea's, and she saves seeds each year for replanting, partly because of the yellow finches they attract.

Q&A

What are the challenges of part sun conditions for gardening, and is it still possible to garden effectively?

The challenge of part sun conditions is that there is nothing like full sun to help stuff grow. However, you can still do a lot in part sun. If you're in partial shade or part sun, you can still be encouraged to garden productively.

What should you do after heavy rainfall knocks over plants in your garden?

After heavy rainfall knocks over plants such as squash plants and tomato cages, they will need to be fixed up. The rain might benefit by reducing the need to water, but it might mean providing support to knocked-over plants.

Are cherry tomato plants productive and what issue might affect them?

Yes, cherry tomato plants are very productive, and if you like cherry tomatoes, you will get hundreds of them. However, they can have problems like little aphids, which need to be dealt with to maintain the health of the plants.

What is a good strategy for feeding squirrels in a garden?

A good strategy is to allocate a specific area where you place food and a little water for the squirrels. This keeps them feeding in a designated spot, which might prevent them from disturbing other parts of the garden.

What are some good plants to grow in shaded areas of the garden?

Some good plants to grow in shaded areas include lemon balm, mint, oregano, ferns, and moss. These plants are tolerant of shade and can still thrive with less sunlight.

What benefit is there to letting some garden plants go to seed?

Letting some garden plants go to seed, like Swiss chard and parsley, allows you to collect the seeds for future planting. It's a cost-effective and sustainable way to continue gardening.

How can you encourage more blooms on Marigolds?

Encourage more blooms on Marigolds by pinching off the dead ends. This stimulates the plant to produce more flowers.
