I see your grow light is not very close to your plants. Is this normal for you? Will this make your plants leggy?
Questions: if one plant seeding cup shows signs of mold in the soil, do I dump just that one or all? How can I stop the mold insanity?? My potting mix was fresh from the bag and my pots were new. These seeded 2 1/2 inch pots are indoors, watered once when I seeded and havent needed watering since. Also, I have managed to keep my basil plants growing all winter indoors in a sunny window. Last night I realized they are infested with white flies! How on earth?? Is that something in the potting soil I bought? The plants were planted in fresh potting mix and immediately brought indoors last October.
I love the light system you have in the back, thank you always for all of your knowledge
where did you buy your tulle. It doesn't appear Amazon has it. Can you help?
I'm in NC zone 7b and my last frost date is 4/13. I plan to plant my potatoes in grow bags. Since those could easily be moved inside if we get a frost, can I plant my potatoes now?
Thanks for the tip on the rabbits. They are sneaking between alternating fences. I bought 2 foot chicken wire to cover the bottom. Glad it will work!
All great tips! Never thought about tulle, interesting. Will have to look for some. Thanks!
Uuhhhh, someone who knows about Ruth Stout!! My copy of her "No-Work Garden Book" is falling apart and has been my guiding light. I've been growing my potatoes without any digging for several years. Actually I don't even buy (or need to chit leftovers) seed potatoes. There always seem to be enough nodules in the 'ground' (under the mulch) to give me enough rogue potato plants that give me lots of potatoes for the winter (including sharing with neighbours/friends). Knock on wood, I have had no disease or pest issues either. Thanks as always for sharing!!
I use Tulle around my blueberries. Protects them and I fasten it with clothes pins. Works great
How to successfully grow green onions.
Hey Brian what's the best thing for ants? Here in Louisiana they are everywhere!
Hard to do those chores with snow on the ground, hahaha! See you in a month, maybe.
Hey, Brian—quick question: I have a mulberry tree in a pot that I want to put into the ground. It’s a year old, and I’m afraid the pot won’t be big enough for it by later this year. But it is already covered with little leaf buds. Is it possible to transplant it into the ground safely now, by any chance?
Thanks for all your sage advice—you’ve made me a much better gardener! 😊
Any idea whether the tulle would help with rats? I know you had them at your last property, so thought you might have some insight. Thank you!
45 days of gardening ( yard work) Jerry Baker said. That's about how long people work at it. So with that in mind, I'm doing 45 days and see where it takes me. Journaling my way along, not saying I need to do this or that ( no pressure ), I'll never be behind I'm do dooting along …above the ground for now.
sorry what zone are you in?
So just curious….if you have a minimum of 10 feet of snow still on the ground, would that be considered one of the colder zones? 😆
Just send some $$ to YT Mass River Pickers (river mudlark bottle collectors) and their latest video of snowbound Massachusetts backdoor with a "horde" of turkeys, a "colony" of gray squirrels, and a "posse" of deer in their snowy backyard … and you won't have squirrels in your backyard garden and flowerbed. Drew and Kathy will take care of all the furries and feathers for you ….
Now is the time – with all of the winter weather damage, … fallen trees, limbs, branches, foliage, … from the landscaping companies from East Coast to West Coast … and have them dump all their wood chips et al and start spreading onto the landscape. 3-4 inches deep across the garden. 4-8 inches across the entire vineyard, and 8-16 inches across the orchard area. All of this (naturally) keeps down weeds – and any weeds that do pop up now with soft and shallow roots – are simple and easy to hand pick and remove – or pull and leave on the surface for future composting. Don't waste the opportunity for easy work now – when later work is more work-intense.
What about pollinators? Won’t tulle stop the bees from getting to the flowers? Only asking because we also raise honey bees
It is the easiest harvest for potatoes. I planted them that way last year and it worked well. I tried 4 different ways to plant potatoes and the straw or the grow bags, did the best.
How about Rosemary? Should they be in moist soil or very dry?
thank you SO much @NextLevelGardening – have a blessed week John 3:17
Hello Brian! Do you have any videos about vertical strawberries ?
So when you use netting how do the pollinators do their thing?
After my plants come up , do I take the plastic off and put them under grow light?
Any advice for woodchucks? The last time there was a garden here something took a bite out of every tomato that grew. I need to get a trap and send her on a little vacation, I know…
I have been using white tulle/insect netting over my plants in grow bags this winter because the squirrels are digging holes everywhere. However, they attempted to dig holes through the netting when it was horizontal and they could use the soil as leverage to chew through it. Once the weather warmed up, they stopped digging, so I took the covers off. I am also finding the netting covered over my tomato plants like a tent keeps the dew off the leaves because it accumulates on the netting instead. Then in the morning, I take the netting down/ or roll it down, to let the sun come in and the breezes to help pollenation. It's been working marvelously. Fruits are setting and harvest will be in a month.
It snowed in Anaheim today. Crazy.
i'm in Eastern Washington along the Idaho state line. We are buried in a fresh 7 inches of snow yesterday. I am starting celery, and a new rosemary plant today. Tomato and flower stareting is still a few weeks away.
We had actual snow fall this afternoon, for about a minute and a half. lol. Because I jumped the gun planting a few tomato plants a week or so ago, I made miniature green houses for each one from one gallon water jugs. They all seem pretty happy and snug. Now if we could just stop that wind from blowing …
Yes, tulle worked for squirrels for me for my container plants:)
The tulle is great over brassicas in spring to stop white cabbage moth too
I just learned a new (to me) thing about aphids. If you squish them, they go into panic mode and release a scent, which in turn attracts predators. Better than the jet of water we've all been taught, right?
Could you send this list to Mother Nature? There is still a few feet of snow on my beds. I want to get outside!
