Unlike animals, plants can’t move around to find a mate, so they have to rely on pollination, mainly from insects. It’s how they reproduce. The question is, are your plants getting enough? Our job as gardeners is to help our plants to achieve pollination, so that we can increase our chances of a bumper crop…

In this video we have four bumblebees burying themselves in the flower of the artichoke and it looks like they are enjoying themselves. Please do your best to help bees out by planting as many bee friendly plants as you can.…
The weather has not cooperated this year. Not really a surprise. The grow room has had disasters and successes. It has only served to convince me that I must concentrate on developing a small greenhouse for propagation purposes.
Snow Fleas aren’t actually fleas and they spend most of their time in the soil and under leaf litter. So what’s up with their name? In this episode, we’ll explore what makes these friendly little helpers so fascinating.
Take an informative walk in the main Living Web Farms vegetable garden with apiarist, Michelle Carter and lead gardener, Jeremy Griste.

💛 📖 See the GrowVeg book here: https://www.growveg.com/growveg-the-beginners-guide-to-easy-gardening.aspx. Beneficial insects are an essential part of any successful vegetable or fruit garden.

Walk through at the garden at the house. Yacon update and a little lesson learned about my peas.
So this problem has been identified as sun scald. I rather thought it was but as I had never seen a case this bad and the plant still living I wanted corroboration. I am leaving the video up for others who may be searching for this. The plants will survive. New growth is now coming…
A daily routine check in the garden, I stumbled across a praying mantis, now my New Pet Playing, and thought it would be a good idea to play around with it:) I also thought it would be quite a good idea to upload a video. https://youplanttube.blogspot.com/
Showing just part of what I accomplished this day. A few other things were worked on as well but this was all that could be finished to a satisfactory point.
