I hope your Sir Speedy did well - so far, it's my favorite tomato for west Texas container gardening. We're city folk and not experienced gardeners, but we wanted to set up something, so we decided to have a container garden. We set up 5gal buckets with reservoirs on our patio last year, and apart from a bit of sun scald, the Sir Speedy did very well in our hot and dry west Texas climate. This year, we set out the containers in our side yard, where they'll have a little more protection, and no heat reflection from the concrete patio. As of today, May 15 2024, one plant has 17 young tomatoes on it, while the other has 27! I'm letting them do what they want, just loosely tying them to our cattle-fence arbor so that high winds won't corkscrew and break them. We're also trying a Bush Goliath - can you say "blossom end rot"? We've had to toss over half of the young tomatoes so far. I'm not impressed. We've scratched a little gypsum into its pot, so we'll see. The Early Girl seems fairly happy, and has a few midsize green tomatoes on it so far. Both heirlooms, a Cherokee Purple and an Old German, look pale and unhappy. Our local nursery says it might be an iron deficiency.

Well, Sir Speedy was definitely the first to fruit but didn’t give us much all together. Was a pretty small plant. Who knows why, but I think it was because it was a purchased transplant instead of one that I grew from seed. Heirlooms CAN be finicky, but can also be awesome producers with little to no issues. I would try adding some fish emulsion or something with potassium and phosphorus. Phosphorous promotes flower and fruit production, while potassium is essential for helping with fruit production, flowering, and disease resistance. It also helps regulate water movement in plant cells and supports photosynthesis. I’ve also noticed that some varieties are just very prone to blossom end rot no matter what you do, which is why I’ve stopped growing Romas. 🤷🏼♀️ Good ole Texas heat! I grew up in central OK, so I know what that scorching heat will do! 🥵

Landon, Enjoyed your video! Your daughter is precious! I'm just curious how you fertilized your tomatoes. I'm big into bone meal, azomite, powdered eggshells, bagged chicken manure, and Trifecta. Trifecta is from MI Gardener, who you may know about. Just want to see if you're doing anything differently to add to my repertoire! Thanks Landon! John McHatton, California
@LittlePineFarm 5 ай бұрын
Hello! Yes, I'm familiar with Trifecta, just haven't tried it yet. I'm really pretty basic when it comes to "fertilizer". These days, I just let my chickens free range on the garden once the season is over. They scrape around, eating any greens left over, devouring hidden insects, and manuring (i.e. fertilizing). I try to get them off a few months before I start to plant. After that, I wheelbarrow in and spread out my compost, composted leaves from our property, or composted wood chips that were dropped off earlier in the season. I cover that up with tarps until I'm ready to plant. I've used bone meal in the past, but don't really find that I need it with this system. I've also used fish emulsion, but I'd have to buy a whole heck of a lot with this size garden! So, I stick to bringing in my compost and spreading it around before I plant. Hope that helps!

I’ve been planning on holding off on larger scale herb growing until I have a freeze dryer for long term storage, partly because I don’t always have the time to create final products to put up at the time of harvest, and the amount of loss ends up higher then I’m okay with. Do you have any suggestions in the meantime before I can get my freeze dryer?
@LittlePineFarm 10 ай бұрын
Yes! I recently purchased an herb drying “rack” and I absolutely love it!! It’s allowed me to get all the herbs off my counter (and out of my oven) and into a dedicated space.

@LittlePineFarm 10 ай бұрын
@@HolyFamilyHomesteadWV Here is what you should consider: 1) the freshest herbs will have the most flavor & potency, so pick them the day you plan to dry. 2) Sunlight, air exposure & moisture are the enemy to quality-dried herbs. So, keep them out of direct sunlight when drying and definitely when storing. Choose an area that has minimal traffic and air flow (not in front of an open window or in a busy room). Obviously when drying they'll be exposed to air, you just want to minimize it. And then make sure that however you're drying them, there is airflow around individual leaves and stems, so mold won't grow in between. Secondly, make sure when you store them they are completely dry (you'll see moisture in the jar if they aren't) and whatever your store them in airtight. And I'm honestly not sure about freeze-drying as I have no experience with this. I feel like herb drying "rack" (the mesh hanging thing) is the best solution for all of these! I can hang it in a room with minimal direct sunlight and foot traffic AND know that dust and bugs are getting to them. Plus, it's so roomy, I can fit a TON of herbs in there! Hope this helps.

I anxious to know what you think of my idea for squash bugs. I came to this area three years ago, my previous home had a huge garden that grew everything so well. I canned and dehydrated and gave away vegetables like mad. We actually put boxes of vegetables by the road with a sign - FREE VEGETABLES, HELP YOURSELF. Unfortunately my husband and I became ill and could no longer live by ourselves. We moved in with our daughter and loving to garden, I started a container garden. I got over 36 totes and ran into some things that were strange to me. First it was the squash bugs and eggs then the heat over 115 degrees. I sprayed soapy water almost daily and smushed eggs. We put up shade cloth and all we ever got the first two years was two little zucchinis. This year I tried a new approach. I bought tulle cloth and covered my squash plants right away. They seemed to be doing well and I ate a nice zucchini one day. I thought I had it made until I discovered holes in the tulle and the bugs were inside and outside. I got my soapy spray again and smushed eggs, ugh! Then I started seeing dead leaves and they quit blooming. I declared WAR! I went on a rampage of spraying and I purchased 4 tubes of B-7000 super glue and turned over every leaf I could find and dabbed all the eggs with it. It has been 4 days now and I know it takes about 14 days for them to hatch but I noticed only one adult bug and the egg shells seem to have melted! I don’t think they will be hatching. I’m not claiming victory yet but what do you think of this idea?
@doriswinskie7049 11 ай бұрын
It Works! No more eggs hatched. I sprayed the adults and nymphs with soapy water. In a week I only found 2 adults and killed them. It has been a month and NO MORE SQUASH BUGS!
@LittlePineFarm 10 ай бұрын
I think it’s hilarious and brilliant at the same time 😂 I sure never would have thought of it. I wouldn’t be able to implement it because of the size of my garden. I’m curious though, wouldn’t it take just as long to scrape the eggs off as it would to cover them in glue? I’d just be concerned for the problems it might cause if you accidentally got the glue on yourself. 😂 On another note, if you used a garden fleece to cover your plants like you did with the tulle, that could be your best bet. Here’s an example: Plant Covers Freeze Frost Protection, 50 FT x 10 FT Frost Cloth Plant Freeze Protection Cover, Frost Blankets for Outdoor Plants, Summer Overheat Prevention and Insects Barrier for Outdoor Plants a.co/d/ao7Wu6Z

Thank you!! You're definitely NOT too late with your brassicas. You can sow kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and even broccoli through May. In fact, I've learned that in SW MI, broccoli does WAY better planted later (May/June). Planting it too early can cause it to bolt. Same with some kales and chards. Radishes, spinach, arugula, and cilantro - those are the ones that just don't like the warmth and will likely bolt if planted too far into April/May. Hope that helps, and YES, glad to know someone else in the "area".

@LittlePineFarm Жыл бұрын
Yes you can! Depending on the variety (and when you want to harvest it) you can plant it through the summer. Planting early varieties in the early spring will give you a summer harvest, and then planting the more "tender" varieties like Chinese cabbage, in May/June will give you a late season/fall harvest. And then there are others that you can start in July/August and it will last you through the early winter and may even overwinter. Hope that helps!

I am wanting to put a lot of cardboard out this year for weed barrier. I have some under some fence and some under some tomato cages that will be held down. Are you worried the cardboard is going to bloa away or is it held down by some methodI cannot see? I would like to do this around Waterleons and Canteloueps where I cannot really get to weeds.
@LittlePineFarm Жыл бұрын
Almost all my cardboard is buried under a mixture of compost, wood chips, soil or whatever organic materials I have on hand. There was one spot that I did it in reverse - having all my compost and soil materials UNDER the cardboard and then placed a tarp on top of the cardboard. I was trying to feed the soil and smother the weeds without having the cardboard beneath the surface, hoping to plant in it sooner than later. I was just trying something different to see how it worked. 🤷🏼♀️ Ideally, you lay the cardboard at soil level and cover it with 4-6 inches of organic materials, which will "cook" down over time. You can plant right into that - I've done it before quite successfully, or you can wait. Either way, SOAK the dickens out of the cardboard BEFORE layering everything on top to help it decompose quicker. With your melons, you could lay a black tarp down, cut some holes in it and plunk your starts (or seeds) through the holes to grow on top of the tarp. That works really well too. But if you opt for cardboard, layer it pretty thick. Those weeds work VERY hard to find any little hole to pop through! Hope that helps.
