Hi Becky! A little grill tip for you. Once you clean the grill, wad up some paper towels and put some oil on them. Wipe the grill grates with the oil and you'll build up a non stick surface over time. It will also help the grates last longer. Win win! I'd also love to see an update on your mom's garden and green stalks. Take care! ❤🤗

For the HarvestRight freeze dryer size, keep in mind that the large and x-large sizes require a special type of plug, so you would have to ensure you have one of those in your house. They use a 110 volt NEMA 5-20 outlet. You literally can't fit it into a normal outlet, the prongs are shaped differently. It's not just a matter of upgrading the size of it.

You will have more luck if you use a short season variety of corn like Bodacious. It is a SE super sweet variety for eating. Corn is sensitive to day length and temperature. The Pacific Northwest is outside of the corn belt. So, am I, for different reasons. My longest day is just short of 14 hours, but I have heat to spare so I plant a tropical corn called UH #9 developed by Dr Brewbaker at the University of Hawaii. It has a tight husk and is a super sweet shrunken kernel corn. Tropical corn only requires 12 hours of sun to mature. You will have more sunlight but needs temperatures 60-85 degrees. Colder will make corn grow very slowly and that will affect the ultimate days to maturity. Corn is a heavy feeder. It should be planted in blocks. In a raised bed you can get away with 8-10 inch spacing. Ideally you need 4 rows in a block. 4x4 minimum, unless you plan to bag your tassels and hand pollinate the silks. Corn requires 2 side dressings of nitrogen. The first when the corn has true leaves (this needs to be a fast nitrogen, you may have to put the first dose in a week after planting for organic fertilizers. The second side dressing should be when the tassels appear. You would have to base this on days to maturity, because Organic fast nitrogen, is not fast. It still takes two weeks at a minimum to be available, so the markers I use may not work. Timing the nitrogen side dressings is important to getting the best result. Corn grows so fast, you cannot be late with available nitrogen. I use sulfate of ammonia so I can use the markers ( true leaves, and tassels to tell me when it is time to side dress) Usually corn is ready to harvest 10 days after the tassels appear. Bodacious is a 75 day variety give it 7-10 days to germinate. So harvest should be about 82-85 days from planting. Corn does not germinate well in your climate but you have a short season, so it might be better to start corn in cells indoors where it will be warmer and germination will be better. Corn does not like to be transplanted, but it can be, as long as they are not in the containers too long. I think you will learn to love the weed fabric. It really helps keep down weeds and keeps the dirt and fungal diseases off the lower leaves. But it will be harder to weed, because the weeds will come up alongside the plants.

I replant cilantro seeds every couple of weeks. Then take the seed heads for planting next year, though if they fall in place you will get plants the next Spring.

I think your idea of using the landscape fabric was brilliant. Upfront you have the work of making all the holes, but every year after it will be all set for planting. When you put your garden away for the season, I would suggest putting a label on each sheet so you know what was planted in the holes. It will give you predetermined spacing for the next year's plants.

My concern with the fabric material is how quickly it disintegrated ( melted ) with the torch .. the concern being , that it is chemically fabricated and those chemicals are now in your soil and could possibly be contaminated 🤷♀️
@cynthiafisher9907 Жыл бұрын
@@susanquenneville2462But i don’t think the plants would be able to take up anything the weed fabric left behind. It doesn’t biodegrade for a long time, so how could the plants absorb anything from it?

Cynthia .. my concern is that as the material is melting , chemicals , that are in the material , will be released into the soil , rendering it no longer to be 100% organic … the plants get their nutrients from that soil , which might in turn compromise that plant . I am definitely not a scientist but I have concerns .

You will find wave petunias in pink containers at your garden centers. We happen to see some at our local Costco this spring that we picked up and they ended up being about 25 to 30% of the cost of what it would’ve been at our local garden center. I will definitely be looking for wave petunias again at Costco next spring! This has been a favorite of ours for quite a few years.

This is what my great uncle did for his corn fields. He hired high schoolers to pollinate. They walk down the rows breaking off the pollination flag on top and touching the silk on the ears. Every few use a new pollination flag from the top. It's certainly worth trying. I'm in WA. Our summers are alike. We don't have wind in the summer to spread the pollination. Do it as soon as the green silks show and the tassel on top has loose pollination. It helps tomato production to give blooming branches a little shake to help pollinate. Hope this helps.

I've been wanting a greenstalk to grow bush beans in. I think it will be the best bang for the space. I would have to use most of my gardening space to plant that many beans and I think it would be particularly nice for dried bean varieties which you need more of to be useful to store. Sadly I'm still paying off a lot of spending that happened in 2020 but hopefully one day soon I'll be able to buy a few.

Supertunias can be grown in the ground or containers, they grow about 3’ by 3’, and they are so gorgeous when in full bloom, in my growing zone they are perennial, I just planted the jazz berry in my yard, when in full bloom they will look like they are coming out of a half barrel that is laying on its side. The wave petunia grows really well in containers and hanging baskets and creates a carpet of flowers when grown in ground, they have several varieties now even ones that can be grown in the winter.

Dear Becky in Latin America we use the cilantro that have flower on soups or broths like chicken or beef, like you tie it with something and throw it on the pot😅 then when you finished cooking just pull the cilantro tie out and you will have a delicious broth with out the bitterness, maybe you can try it sometime 👋
