Overwintering is a solid method that I just don’t know enough about 😮👍
Your garden looks lovely Jacques! It's so cool to see what can be accomplished in your zone.
7:19 is me every morning.
I think I won't grow standard green beans next year: they produce but compared to my heirloom Good Mother Stollard and Rio de Janeiro beans they were pretty boring!
Grow a culinary variety of fava bean for ground cover. That way you have a dual purpose plant. Fava beans are delicious!
I will be overwintering my HATCH PEPPERS🌶. My kids were born in Texas and will never forgive me if we dont have roasted hatch peppers on hand.
Will eggplant survive frost here in zone 9b?
Hi, Can you address the grubs in the next video? I've had issues with the Japanese beetle larvae. I've used Milky Spores but wondered if there was something better.
Did the Ollas work in your sweet potato bed, well? or did you also have to hand water?
I’ve grown the Christmas bean for years. They are amazing. You can cook them forever and they never get mushy. Always have texture. I love them.
This summer, with the heat, my sweet potato vines did great. Figured out the leaves are a great substitute for spinach and lettuce. Very mild flavor.
I planted Molokai sweet potatoes this year too! I was wondering how you tell when they are ready to harvest. I think I'll go check right now. 🙂
Jacque could you please do a video about the benefits of raised garden beds versus growing directly in the ground? As always, love your videos!
Jacques, do you have an artichoke planted somewhere else in the garden? I usually get a bunch of small artichokes on my plants once I cut off the large artichoke on the main stem…. I’ll be interested to see if packing them in closely will accomplish your goal! I tend to over-plant everything😬
'Quite a handsome plant'…. boy, you know we say that about you😉😁
How do you cure sweet potatoes?
Thank you Jacques Just love your videos. I always learn something I can use in my garden. You have a gift for explaining and making it all sound so doable. I had the same idea as you did regarding my favorite Sungolds, last weekend. Was intending to pull it out, but I like you tasted a few and left them in place. Will check them out again in a week or so. Looking forward to your next vlog/video.
Propogating the SP is a great idea, thank you!
I'd love to see how to care for grape plants through the year.😊
its in the low 40F here in Los Angeles at nite does San Diego really stay 20 degrees warmer at night?
60°??!! That's heaven
When is black Friday
Jacques, I'm giving you the stink eye from New England
Oh wow I never knew about the eggplants. I have 5 plants n had over 70 fruits but the plants didn't start flowering until August n yes they are tied up because they are almost 5ft tall..now I know to trim them back THX
I feed the sweet potato leaves to my chickens
Watching this with my heated blanket. 2 inches of snow on the ground. Living vicariously for the next 5 months.
Love the video ❤
I haven’t gotten above freezing the last few days here in Minnesota and we’ve had snow the last 4 days. Nothing above freezing until next Tuesday. I’m so jealous of your weather. If I wasn’t so old I would move.
Thanks for doing this update with very insightful comments and tips here and there! Really appreciate them and hope to see more of them!
Jacques! I'd love for you to do another crossover with Eric! Thanks!
Hey Jacque, do you have a few non irrigated beds? Do you find the ollas to be sufficient for the beds by just always keeping them half full? Or do you need to water the bed quite often as well? I’ve got one small bed and I just purchased three ollas from the shop.
Jacques, how are you curing your sweet potatoes? I'm in zone 10a (La Mesa) and with no humidity and now cooling temperatures, I'm struggling with the recommendation of 4-5 days of heat & humidity before transferring to a cooler temp. Thanks!
That squash could be suffering from verticillium wilt or another wilt disease 🙁
On the Oya Instagram they said to take the Oya out for winter. And while we don't get snow in 9b or 10 we can get freezing temps in January. Are you going to take those Oyas out so they don't freeze? Or are they ok cuz those are raised beds? I know you have some in the ground by the kale, too
Great video!
