I brought in some professionals to help me make a garden. It was hot. It was hard. Sure hope something grows out of this.

Loved this! Is there a part II?
Italians and the earth….match made in heaven. Is your mom of Italian descent as well?
Do you have follow up videos on your garden?
Get a wheel barrow or garden cart. Then you only make a couple of trips instead of so many
❤ I have to say that you have the most darling parents! Now I see where your personality comes from. This was the most entertaining, descriptive, and helpful video on starting a vegetable garden for me. I can't wait for part two😊
Who knew I would be gardening w my favorite chef! Just started my FL garden around Mother’s Day ‘23. I went raised beds because our soil is mostly sand. So far so good.
Do you have a video showing last years crop and is there a video with what you planted in your no till garden? Thanks for sharing.
Good morning from a cool and damp County of Hertfordshire, England. I love growing vegetables and fruit and I have been “no dig” for the last ten years and my heavy clay soil has improved considerably. As I am in my 70s I am very happy not to dig or use a tiller. If you are interested in “no dig” methods look up Charles Dowding on Youtube. He is an English gardener and has a small commercial small holding and supplies vegetables in his local area. He is known world wide for his knowledge about no dig gardening and he has lots of videos about his methods which are very easy to follow. Happy gardening!
Prove is in the (pun intended) pudding: gardeners are better at cooking than cooks are at gardening =P
CHEF!!! I am a subscriber and watch your inspirational videos all the time AND I am originally from NW IN! This video was so fun to watch and I love your channel even more now since we are from the area. Your parents are amazing people too. ❤
You should have done large raised beds again, my friend. Regardless, make LOTS of Leaf Mold to enrich your soil. Try a worm bin for nitrogen rich worm castings too.
Great episode and love your parents, awesome people. They remind me of mine, similar story but we had a huge multi acre yard. Really well my man… Big hugs to your Parents.
Moved into a new house about 10 years ago. Built a 16 by 10 raised bed veggie garden. It is now about 4 by 6 and I use it to grow pot. Canada is a great country.
Billy, you are the luckiest guy to have 2 awesome parents!! I am just excited for you with this huge garden you and your parents concocted in 2 days!! My garden is still evolving from March! You are one of my favorite people to follow in youtube and now I can see where you got your charm. Please give us more follow-up videos of your garden.
Really looking fwd to seeing the crop. I'm trying to grow Jimmy Nardello red sweet peppers at the moment and the pests are gonna do me in😡-banana peppers were no problem lastyear but I've ordered a bottle of Smite that has their name all over it. Try some of these in your garden… have read rave reviews about them but have to start from seed.
Can't wait to see the result!
Hey Billy, next time rent a rear tine tiller and you will be done in 29 minutes.
Your Mom is in great shape. You are lucky to have such hardworking healthy parents!!
Damn, yall had it easy. Me and my cuz, being of young age took mattocks to the tround, before our pawpaw could till it. The earth was so full of iron, it had to be done. The result. Underneath that iron hard ground was fertile ground. The reward was veggies. Hard work pays off. ETA this may have been a very dry season, but nevertheless, it was great. I learned life lessons. Want something, dig into your core then produce.
This was great. Can’t wait to see the garden.
Dear Billy, do not listen to people who are talking negativity… It is sad sometimes Ive seen it before, an exceptional chef (real chef, not a youtube chef) getting many, many positive comments, compliments and admiration, and there is ONE bad, awful, bitter comment, and that is the only one the 'exceptional chef' decides to reply/comment/argue with. I know very well that you are extremely busy, I do not get disappointed or feel bad if you do not answer or say anything ab my comments I know you are busy! but please do not listen or even waste your time with awful people who come here just to spread their bitterness…. So many useless (for me, at least) content on YT, that is true, but you're building a garden and sharing it with us!! for potatoes sake! and that, so dear exceptional chef Billy, that is inspiring! I have been gardening for 5 years only and I know it is an error and trial thing! Gardening has also thought me so much about appreciating food, respecting food and those who work the fields… So please, enjoy your gardening, enjoy your lovely folks, and dont listen to the negativity. Peace and many blessings to you and fam, N
Now to maintain that garden without using back breaking man made methods, implement the ‘back to Eden’ gardening method. We implemented this no-till highly rich in nutrients in our raised bed 7 years ago and have been amazed at how much more nutrient dense produce we get from this smaller area than we ever did in our old traditional annually tilled back breaking garden. And this method is especially great for areas with hard clay type soils. https://youtu.be/6rPPUmStKQ4
Billy, I started sweating just watching you. I also had to take a break and make myself a margarita since I overheated. 3 hours later and a few margaritas I’m finally finished watching your video. I hope I don’t wake up sore like you.
Good luck on the veggies. I’ll stick to the farmers market.
I liked it!
WOW!! One of the best videos I've ever seen!! I can't wait to see what this garden produces. Your parents are absolutely amazing!! Knowledge and Strength!! How you feel. Imagine how they feel at their age. Again Amazing!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Billy, I have to tell you that this is my favorite video you’ve ever produced. First, you’re blessed to have two great parents. Second, you’ve inspired me to restart a garden in my backyard. I used to spend time with my grandmother in her garden when I was a kid and I loved every minute. I noticed some crank gave a crappy comment but keep doing what you’re doing. Lastly, thank you for taking us (the viewers) on this journey with you. I have enjoyed every video and my nine year old daughter watches you too. She wants to learn to make every dish on your channel. Blessings to you and your family!
Use Sand & Peat Moss for Soil with Clay
Add Miracle Grow Mix to the Roots of your Tomatoes weeky. When you Plant Tomatoes plant them sideways and tie the stems to Train them to Grow upwards. Another idea is to use your Downspouts to Water your Garden. I'm using my Sump pump by Rerouting the Ejected Water from the House's Drain tiles for nonstop watering. Do you have a Rain Barrel?
Awesome 👌 gardening is my Yoga lol 😆
love the title. means so much "more" 😂😂
Your parents are so cute. 🙂 Very helpful. These are all great tips for us out here wanting to build a garden. Looking forward to part two.
Great job everyone!
Hope you will keep us updated when your garden grows.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO by Chef Billy Parisi!! 💜 👍 😃
The garden looks fantastic! All that hard work that went into building it-Wow! 😲
Can't wait to see the "fruits" of all that labor!! 🥕🍅🥦🌶
I love how you showed the process of making your garden cause usually people just show the end result but don’t talk much about the hard labour and time it took! Loved seeing your parents too☺️ I hope your crops starts sprouting up and flourishing soon🍅🥒🥬
Congratulations!! You’ll never be sorry about having your own garden. I have a lot of deer that come into my yard so I grow a large amount of food on my deck. I just love being able to go out and pick all the veggies I want. It’s especially rewarding to share your produce with family and friends. At various times throughout the summer, I have large amounts of greens that I harvest, wash and package up for gifts. I make the rounds visiting with people and have a great time sharing the bounty!
the thumbnail with the tiller triggered me. i have done this very project the same way. i should have just rented a backhoe as well and just tore it all up first
