What she's NOT telling us is that a pot that size is way too small if the temps go above about 90 degrees for days. What happens is the plants will grow like crazy in the heat BUT so will the root system. In a plastic pot the roots will hit the edge of the pot then try to circle and become root-bound. Root bound plants CAN NOT absorbe enough water and nutrients and the high heat WILL CAUSE blossom end rot and the plants will yellow and die. Watering 2 or 3 times per day will NOT help. Either plant in the ground or use grow bags at least 20 gallon in size for indeterminate tomatoes. The bags breath and the air will prevent them from becoming root bound. Do a search for "root bound" & "air pruning" then you'll understand exactly what I'm talking about.. Hope this helps!

I've heard so much debate about poppy seed germination. The internet is divided on one important aspect. Many claim that some (if not all) varieties of poppy seeds must be cold stratified, either by overwintering in nature, or by placing in fridge or freezer, prior to sowing. Does anyone here have a definitive answer on this?

I am also in Upstate NY, also zone 6a, and for me, mid-Summer is too late to apply fungicide. By early July some of my tomatoes leaves already have many yellow spots or start turning yellow if I do nothing, especially with the last three Summers being so hot and humid, with many rains. Mid-June or even earlier is the right time to apply fungicides in our zone I think.

I have planted many canna lillies but they all died. We have tropical climate. About six weeks after I brought them home from the shop and placed them in half shade place, the leaves started to turn yellow and slowly the whole plant died. I don't know where I am going wrong . Can you advise pls ?
@BarbaraMelera
@BarbaraMelera 17 күн бұрын
Lily, often turning yellow means that they were overwatered, but cannas can take a lot of water. Some even grow best when they are planted at the water's edge. Have you been planting all your cannas in the same place? Has this same problem occurred year after year. If the answer to these questions is yes, then maybe you have a disease in the soil that is causing the problem. What condition were the roots in when you purchased them?

Amy, Two years ago I could have given you a short response which would have been no, but in the past two years a number of professional calla growers have noticed that their callas are coming back in the spring after being in the ground outside and unprotected for the entire winter. This spring I had ALL of my callas come back and I live in Hardiness Zone 4. If they are coming back in Zone 4, they will come back for you.

A dear friend gave me a pot of mixed colour Calla Lilies last year as a gift. I just love them and I put the entire pot into my garage in the fall and left it. Well this spring I found it and it was very dry overwinter so I dumped it out and saw all the corms. I planted each corm individually in their own pots as I prefer to have each colour alone. I have black, white and red. They are now about a foot tall and once I know which colour they are I can label the pots and sink them into my garden to fill in a bare spot or two here and there. I really enjoyed your video and have subscribed to your channel. Have a wonderful day!

What about coco coir and vermiculite? Not needed? Those are added in many other videos, so confusing
@BarbaraMelera
@BarbaraMelera Ай бұрын
Coco coir is often used to replace peat moss because it is more sustainable. There are 2 downsides. Coco coir has a much sharper texture which may do slight harm to new root growth and there are not as many micronutrients in coco coir. Vermiculite is not necessary. It does not do an exceptional job of preventing soil compactig and does not contain as many micronutrients.

Perlite does nothing for water drainage unless you use a lot of perlite. I don't use perlite becuase it is a waste of time and money. It is true that many topsoils you can purchase are heavy. You just need to find a good one. The one I use is made locally, so it will not help you, but try several different topsoils from your local nurseries and you will find one that you really like. 20 years of planting more than 100 containers annually has taught us a lot about what works and what doesn't. With containers, you need to worry less about drainage than you do with planting in the ground. Unless you have containers with no holes, holes that are too small or not enough holes, your containers will drain. Thank God for gravity!With containers you want slower drainage because otherwise you will be watering much, much more frequently and that is a waste of your time. Hope this helps.

Saimaakter, perlite does nothing for water drainage unless you use a lot of perlite. I don't use perlite becuase it is a waste of time and money. It is true that many topsoils you can purchase are heavy. You just need to find a good one. The one I use is made locally, so it will not help you, but try several different topsoils from your local nurseries and you will find one that you really like. Lime is wonderful, especially for root vegetables, but the best way to apply lime and for it to do the most good is to dust the soil surface with lime and water it in. That way the underground stem part and all the roots are exposed to the lime. Peat moss is acidic, but given that you are using only 20% in your mix, the soil PH will not change much. We have never had a problem with soil that is too acidic for our plants. 20 years of planting more than 100 containers has taught us a lot about what works and what doesn't. With containers, you need to worry less about drainage than you do with planting in the ground.

OK, let's see how we can remedy this. First, fertilize once a week and water after fertilizing. Second, pinch off the bottom 4-6 leaves or more. This will minimize the danger of blight, mold, etc. Feeding your plants heavily will marginally offset the damage done by crowding with too many plants or containers that are too small. Gardening is a lifelong learning experience. Next year you will do better.😁

@BarbaraMelera Ай бұрын
Absolutely Michelle. Each year you will lose up to 20% of the soil in your containers. DO NOT THROW THE REMAINING SOIL AWAY. In subsequent years, follow this schedule. 12 months after planting your first containers, amend the remaing soil with compost or manure. 24 months after the first plantings, amend your soil with more crummy backyard soil. 36 months after the first plantings amend with compost or manure. Keep alternating the amendments yearly for as long as you have containers.
