All of those perfectly spaced onions reminded me of Mr. McGregor’s garden on Peter Rabbit.

Nice!! Look good…Where do you get the insect netting and what do you make the low tunnels out of or do you by them??

I thought they were kindof orangeish?(what we have seen, always on the underside) Do you have chickens? I wonder if they wouldn't reduce bugs. Sandra won't let me have any, but I bet they would help reduce this years grasshopper invasion!

I grown to believe you cannot grow blueberries successfully… unless you have a descent digital ph soil probe …. Good ones are available all over the place for less than 60 bucks After you are 100 % confident of your ph you can move on to other things

They are definitely looking so fresh and very happy. I will definitely try your method with the runners. It looks like it works and gives them a better chance than direct planting. Thank you for your inspiration ❤ God bless 🙏

That is interesting to find that the metal pots get hotter, bummer, they are really neat. If i may, i have some ideas- Maybe another plant use would be some decorative grasses or even a desert cactus like plantings. Or a water feature would be neat. A light post. You could maybe put an umbrella there to help with the heat. Beautiful garden, how fun! 😊

I don't understand why you grow one variety? I have 11 varieties in my yard. Ohio.

Well, I didn’t mean to, however so many came in that one bucket that I just planted six. And when I bought the newest plant it was supposed to be a Patriot but my husband grabbed a Duke by mistake, which was fine since my other Dukes are underperforming. So now I have four varieties but will get different ones if I pull out any of the small Dukes. 😊

Any tips on how you got your peppers looking so big and healthy! I started mine inside good sized pot they just seemed to stall at about 3 inches and a few true leaves, spending about 6-8 weeks. They are doing better now all planted outdoors. Tips for the inside growing stage? Thanks

This year, two things I did differently are I used Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil for both seed starting and potting up, and used a liquid fertilizer a few times (True Organic Tomato and Vegetable). I suspect that is why they are big and healthy looking. I also started them a little later than I usually do so they didn’t get out of control size-wise. Though, they did get bigger than expected, already flowering. I’ll start them even a little later next year. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

Good information i love blueberries, so much so that i accept the challenge to grow them. All of your methods look right on but Maybe, when dormant, you can work in better soil in a bigger area for those existing bushes by pulling them up and creating a more acidic environment nutrient mix. I would say compost is another important thing. I have my blueberries in pots where i created a proper soil first before planting. I use sulfur in the spring and vinegar water and compost dressing. I have the Top Hat and North Country which look to be producing a nice crop this year. Good luck, gardening is a challenge, fun when we succeed.

I've struggled for years to get my blueberries soil ph at the correct level. The best things I've tried so far is putting down sulfer as early in the spring as possible and feeding them throughout the year with Jacks Acid Special liquid fertilizer, which is able reduce the soil pH more quickly. They have greened up quite nicely this year. Keep us updated on yours!

I did not have success for years, then I watched a KZfaq university professor who said the soil needs to be 50% peat and 50% pine bark chips, all of which can be purchased at the big box stores. There was immediate improvement and now they are flourishing.

I looked on your info for a link to the test but couldn't find it. Where did you get it?
@homeacreliving 2 ай бұрын
Sorry about that. I purchased it the first time at Home Depot and my latest kit from Amazon. I’ve used it for several years and learned the soil sample is the key, definitely dig down the 4-6 inches for the sample. Additionally, you can get a little sample from 4-5 beds (areas) and mix them together and then use that soil for the test. When you send a soil sample in for testing they always suggest to get various samples for a general test result. This year, after doing this test, I sent a soil sample in for testing for more exact detailed results. The PH and NPK seemed to be comparable. Like I said in the video, it’s a generalized test for a good starting point. Thanks for watching and your support. Good luck with your testing.

I am a new subscriber here, I LOVE your garden space. I would definitely find seeds to sow in your space. You are not crazy in adding more beds. Especially if you have the space, the prices are getting crazy and you will definitely save $$. I am really impressed with how your bed BEDS are. 😂. It's a great way of recycling. I have seen them before, but people never had them look as good as yours. Looking forward to seeing how they grow. God bless 🙏

Thanks for your support and subscribing, much appreciated. Yes, with inflation gardening makes good sense but also the amazing taste of home grown fresh food is like no other. The broccoli I grew last year was the best I’ve ever tasted, and the texture was amazing also. There’s nothing like growing your own food. I LOVE recycling, repurposing, and finding great/free materials. When the project turns out as or better than expected it’s a win for sure. I’ll be sure to give an update as the garden grows. Thanks for your comment, support and watching.

Thats definitely an option, though I’ve never used a synthetic product in any of my gardens. I stick to an organic methods. Sometimes that can be frustrating when there are other options out there but I try to exercise patience and trust in the process. I just think I wasn’t assertive enough with the blueberries from the get-go. Thanks for your suggestion and watching.

Hello, I came across your videos accidentally, and searched to watch your older videos. I really appreciate the way you explain everything, it is very valuable to someone who has very little experience, some other sites assume people know what they are talking about. I really loved the planting and taking care of your trees and bushes. It was really great to watch your accidental tomato videos. Good luck with your videos and please keep posting. You all seem very organized and I love that. Thank you.

Haven't seen the tape secured with a zip tie but usually with tape or staples...I would think that as long as the zip tie isn't secured too tightly on the trunk of the tree and removed by mid spring it should do well.
@homeacreliving Жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comment. Yeah, thought they’d be fine over winter and removing them promptly when the snow melts. I didn’t put them in too tight, just enough. If the tape wrap works as intended I’ll probably just use sticky tape next year so I don’t have plastic waste, much better idea.
