Stop Your Soil From Scorching The One Plant Your Garden Needs + Garden Rescue from Powdery Mildew

The Zone 10b heat is officially here, and my garden is feeling it! In this video, I’m showing you the “Living Mulch" method—a simple planting trick using winter squash to save your soil from scorching and lock in every drop of moisture. But it's not all smooth sailing. While the Three Sisters bed is cruising, the back of my garden is in serious trouble. We’re doing a major garden rescue to stop a powdery mildew outbreak before it reaches my tomatoes (the "Tommy boys" depends on us!). Along the way, we’ll trellis the raspberries, harvest some "hidden jewels" and prep for the summer ahead. In today's garden vlog: ✅ Use the ‘Living Mulch’ trick for heat-proofing soil ✅ Planting the Third Sister (Winter Squash) in Zone 10b ✅ Garden Rescue: Stopping powdery mildew in its tracks ✅ Harvesting "hidden" onions and shallots as well as some of the first tomatoes of the season. ✅ DIY vertical trellising for unruly raspberry bushes Video Chapters (Timestamps) 0:00 - Intro: Winter Squash to the rescue 0:36 - Completing the Three Sisters 2:39 - More on squash: A visual example 3:24 - Back bed clean up 911!! 4:13 - Poppy Seed Pods 4:48 - Hidden Onions 4:58 - A Mildew Mistake 5:32 - Raspberry Bush Rescue 7:43 - Shallot Discovery 8:01 - The Fun Part: Tomato Harvest 9:07 - More Harvests 9:59 - Outro and preview of what’s to come Let's grow together!
