Cacuzzi squash has to be peeled. I love using it instead of spaghetti. We feed 5 people and one Cacuzzi makes enough "zoodles" for all of us in one meal.
ANSWER: Jewel Peach Melba nasturtium possibly
SUGGESTION: Zone 9 Southeast Louisiana – I have found the secret to bell peppers is Compost tea. You can make a bucket maybe once a week… If you want to do it and save tons of time you can get one of those hose end sprayer by Ortho set to 8 and then just connect the hose and spray it on the foliage and the roots as well. Two 5 gallon buckets of compost tea feed my entire back yard…my backyard has no grass and is side to side/front to back garden beds.
I really appreciate the FAILING FORWARD talk. That is the perfect explanation! I so appreciate your honesty. I often feel frustrated that I can't seem to grow successfully enough to keep from spending so much at the grocery. Your talk made me feel so much LESS of a failure and reminded myself that grace is needed and more importantly deserved.
Probably a fluke but I read a comment somewhere about herbs being a deterrent for pests, so I took a chance and sprinkled munt leaves on my squash stems and so far no vine boarers this year, yet. 🙂
If you want to save your leeks, the best way I have found is slice, wash, dry and freeze them on cookie sheets, then use a large freezer bag to store in freezer. They pop out great and thaw beautiful. You can add frozen to soups, roast etc as well. Just found your channel. Fantastic.
You are very pretty! good to see a beautiful woman know her shit in the garden. Keep up the good work
How do you water that huge garden. All on drip???
Hello,
Just want to let you know how much joy it is in watching your videos. Your gardens and all your plants look so healthy! You are so knowledgeable about a lot of things. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
For your pest prob lkem, have you considered ducks? I've heard they're really good at finding bugs n slugs. Might be worth the research.
I just found you, I am in love with your thought process! Thank you for sharing what you learn and teaching us! <3
Do you add your nasturtiums to salads or dry for teas?
Please tell me your camera and lens details, because your video s are very good and clear
Jess you refreshing you garden you look so sweet thanks for wachting you garden n u bye sweet lady.
Hey Jess you should make stickers that says something along the lines of "Always Fall Forward". I am painting me a sign for my first garden this year that says that to remind me that there is always next year, and as long as we are learning we are still moving forward. Thank you for all that you do, and for being such an inspiration for me to not only be a gardener, but to be a better, more patient mom. God Bless You and Your Family ❤
do ducks or chickens eat squash bugs?
I’m watching allllll of last years garden tours abs harvest!!! Longing for the gardennnnnnn
I'm growing cucamelons this year for the first time, it's so good seeing them here in your video so i can see how they progress as they grow <3
I am so happy for you and you family. I'm just north of you in the mountains near Boone, NC and visit friends from time to time in S.C. near Rock Hill that also farm. You inspire me and i enjoy it when you laugh, its infectious.
falling forward
I am so happy I found your channel ❤️
@25:05, I read a post in a permaculture blog that said try growing the squash and cucurbits where the birds are, in the hopes the birds will land on the vines and pick off the bugs. I assume this either means planting squash at the base of trees so they vine up, or bringing birdseed into the garden near the squash to attract birds. while they're on the ground looking for seed among the plants, they'd also ideally find the squash bugs and eat those too.
