You ever send seeds to the viewers after plants die.
Have you ever grown Gilfeather turnip? It comes from the town I grew up in…
What variety of sunflowers did you grow. Would love to trade seeds if we are close
For the cuke beetles and squash bugs try picking of course, but we have great success with organic Neem oil. A natural oil from the neem tree in India. It will sterilize the insects you spray it on and the oil will suffocate them if you can get it on them. Only spray early in the morning or late evening because oil can cause scald. Safer soap is the only other organic pesticide we use on our farmstead. Eggs must be pulled off and destroyed. After 10 yrs with a small village lot we have learned to go up as you have. And it is important to get as much as we can from each bed. We now grow about 80% of what we eat ourselves. We have chickens for eggs too. Best luck!
You might be interested in Herb Quarterly Magazine. Not sure if you've heard of it or seen it on magazine stands. I get it here in Canada. What drew me was the corn.
I don’t comment much, but I love all your videos.
I hear corn can't be grown perfectly organically. So, you should expect to have to snap the top off. Also, if you buy organic corn, it should have the tops snapped off because it will have been so ugly. Don't pay organic prices for beautiful full ears of corn because they're probably not really organic. …Or so I've been told by organic farmers.
What is in the jars In The garden?
Marjoram lemon juice, oil, sugar and some Italian seasoning makes nice dressing
HI I was just curious, what are the hanging mason jars for? Is it a repellent?
Hey Jess. I enjoyed the tour. You have a marvellous attitude. I'm still learning a whole bunch from you, for which I am truly grateful. This is my first time in many years that I am starting a garden and I figure I still have a lot to learn. At the moment I'm finding it slow going because of a couple of huge storms and my babies have suffered due to to much water n slugs. I'll just have to replant and then get some beer for the slimy little suckers next I go shopping. I might then offer them to the people over the back fence for their chooks if it's a viable idea. I'll have to check in with google and find out if it's safe. lol. Just had a pic in my head of tiddly chooks unable to walk a straight line and the rooster crowing to it's heart content. Oh dear. On that note I'll be off. Thank you again and Blessings Always
How I, would love to plant some of the corn you grew but I, don't have any (hint , hint) . So….I best get to sleep so I can work in my garden in the morning. Smiles , Janis…. Grace Mercy Peace …to all. GMP
Seems you may be the right person to ask about bean recipes. 🙂 I'm so curious to know how your family eats with all this beautiful produce to choose from. <3
For organic pesticide I plan on using chilies and garlic. I'll boil it in a pot and steep it overnight. It can be used for a week or refrigerated. It needs to be diluted after its strained (wear gloves) I'm going to dilute 50/50 with water and test it on plants. In the past I've used neem and mineral oil diluted. I use it as needed and apply after rains. Florida bugs are tenacious. I also plan on using netting and mesh which can be re-used every season to protect from birds and bugs. Charles Dowding of no dig gardening explains netting organic crops nicely.
I have glass gem seeds I’m soaking this weekend to plant, I have never grown corn before. Can someone tell me the reason to plant in blocks?
Omg it's so cute when jeramiah is making making fun of you
I would love to see a video about the differences between beans and peas, from a botanist standpoint, to different uses and storage.
Please Please Please do a video about garden journaling! You have such a large garden that I doubt you have time to log pests, sickness etc. But, as a new gardener I'm interested in hearing what types of notes or observations are intelligent to track year to year (companion planting, record weather conditions etc)
“Rude!” Haha that was funny(:
I pickle radishes in a sort of sweet and salty brine and it's delicious. I tend to eat them with creamy dishes to cut the richness.
Pea plants, go out & find cut main stems, why? Is there a pest/worm/bug that does this to the pea plants? Either that or there is a deer in the area that I am not aware of. Suggestions/ideas?
Do you plant cabbage
Your corn reminds me of Lisa Frank!! I love it!!!!
It's so precious watching Jeremiah warm up to the camera!!
I am wondering….. I don't have the weed problem that you do with my raised beds…I don't use straw mulch…I wonder if that straw is bringing in weed seeds…
Lemon Marjoram Carrots
Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 pounds carrots (about 16), cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram, or
1 teaspoon dried marjoram 4 teaspoons lemon juice
How to Make It
Step 1
In a medium nonstick frying pan, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately low heat. Add the garlic, carrots, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, the pepper, and the dried marjoram, if using. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Uncover the pan. Raise the heat to moderate and cook, stirring frequently, until the carrots are very tender and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes longer.
Step 3
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt, the lemon juice, and the fresh marjoram, if using.
I can handle kale sald more than juiced kale or juiced kale added in a smoothie. Lol
I use marjoram in meat-type dishes.(I'm vegetarian).Not as strong as sage.
