Could you share the name of the peppers that you grew last summer that were similar to a bell pepper but they were shaped more like a hot pepper. You talked about them during the garden club’s tour.
Cool
Thank you Jenna once again. With respect to peach trees, I usually find mine do well for 2-3 years and then they die in a somewhat mysterious way. I think it's from a borer. I have gone to painting all of my fruit trees from the ground to about 2-3 feet up. Use exterior grade latex paint. So far, the trees are doing well. Although earwigs are thought to be benign in the late summer, I have a sneaky suspicion that they undermine the space between the cambium layer and the bark. Other types or borers may also be at play. Kind Regards. Craig
Hi Jenna … your garden tour was very encouraging! Darn little critters always find a way 🥴. We’re just getting warmer nights but I hear that can turn topsy turvy soon. I prob won’t get a garden this year but I’ll enjoy watching everyone else. I took a hard fall & have a compressed fracture & micro fractures on L3 & pulled all my butt muscles at my illium 🤬🤬🤬. So I’ll be watching to see the beautiful garden you create 🤩🤩. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️ nw Nevada deserts
Way to go Josh, running over trees.
I plant my garlic right after I harvest it and it lasts through winter and grows great every year. I’ve been doing it for 5 years that way and every year been a good year.
Set up a trail camera to see what is eating your plants an you might have to lay down chicken wire on the ground an dig a ditch out an lay it down an cover it up with dirt to solve that problem.
Yeah, 3 more weeks till I can empty the greenhouse into the garden – there’s almost no standing space inside. I’ve been making medicinal teas with my dried herbs and look forward to growing new herbs this year – especially starting more perennial herbs. I hope you get yours going so I can suck up your amazing advice. Thank you! 😊
I'm nearby in Central Ohio. You have so much more green than I do. I mostly have non-food crops (hostas, liky of the valley, , day lillies, astilbe, and hydrangeas) and weede (redbud and maple tree seedlings) coming up. My yarrow has come back and a little bit of parsley that I threw seed in the back yard last fall from neighbor's plant that went to seed. I planted peas a couole weeks ago that are doing well despite these cold temps. My sunchokes are doing best of all, and I'm predicting a bumper crop based on how well they are doing. I did throw some fava beans in the soil last fall hoping for a cover crop. They never grew, but 2 plants have come up this spring. They are flowering now and are so pretty. I have lots of babies (seed starts) indoors waiting for this cold to be over. I have lettuce started inside..i thought it was too cold for outside..but yours seems to be doing great! Hope your trees can revive… MI Gardener sells a fertilizer called Revive that I used with success on a dying plant last year…maybe it could help? Just a thought. Smile and have a blessed day!
Do you sometimes feel that you are just growing a critter buffet? Thanks for your helpful videos, the good, the bad and the ugly.
I have peas that are actively growing, kale and collards growing, carrots just came up and the strawberries have a few flowers on them. Zone 6 Idaho.
It's great to see where your garden is at this time of year. Every video you remind me of something that needs to happen in my own garden. I'm just behind you in zone 5, so it's nice to see I'm not too far behind in my spring craze that has been the last few weeks with our nice weather.
Well I'm sure by May 5 this year you are underwater….omg….not a good spring in my area for an early anything😢….hope it improves….dull and rainy…..
Our peas got hit, too. Interestingly, the ones we direct sowed extra early (February) went untouched. The March planting got 95% wiped out by unknown critters. Guess we have plenty of space for early beans and cukes!
This is so helpful as a novice gardener (zone 6b in PA). I really expanded the garden this year and trying so many new crops. This is my first year direct sowing cool weather crops. I've been (impatiently) waiting to see them germinate and I'm happy to say the carrots and beets are showing themselves! Still need to be patient on the potatoes though. Seeing how far along your garden is has been fantastic to compare and put my mind at ease. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
Wonderful and inspiring video! I’m right behind in zone 5, and even though we are in the middle of building a new garden area, I’m trying not to feel discouraged that I haven’t put anything in the ground yet. I have some seedlings indoors, but starting from scratch is tough work! We have all kinds of critters to deal with in our wooded area as well, so we started outright with removing grass and building a 6 foot fence that also goes 2 feet underground. I have been gathering all sorts of ideas and learning plenty from your videos. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing Jenna! So disappointing when things do not work out the way we plan, hopefully you will have better luck with peas next year.
Fruit trees and are also a great addition to any garden .
Wow, your garden is quite large and looks great!
I love all the experimenting!
Oh, Jenna 🙃 We know critter trouble don’t we. How are we supposed to have a no dig situation when constantly resetting plants and filling in tunnels?? 😅
Some of their tunnels are going kind of unnoticed, because they’re getting deeper, but they’re still robbing the plants of water, right?? All to often, I’m losing garden plants and perennials. I got so frustrated that I sent my husband out to get the…worms. 😭😅They’d been all through the Lisianthus, snapdragons and stock plantings. Probably won’t use them until fall when I’ll get frustrated again.
20 beautiful stalks of Wizard of Oz and Globemaster alliums severed above the bulbs-not certain if the bulbs were also eaten, but I never found them. So much for them not liking alliums.
II did enjoy a show from them last year.
You’ve helped me tremendously on timing my starts and plantings and it’s sure paying off! I’ve got huge wonderful lettuces, pak choi, spinach and kale that I’m getting great harvests from already! And so much more in the works!
The hens sure free your kugel culture a good deep weed seed cleanup! Lol, that grape has definitely earned a stay.
Now, if you get a chance tell me about comfrey. I’m not sure why, but I wasn’t aware growing it from seed was an option. I’ve not ran into any in my area in many years.
Kept thinking I would.
We have two mor nights at 40° over nigh and we’ll jump to 60°s. It’s on!! Good thing? Because someoif the plants are all a helardened off and so very ready to jump into the warmer growing season.
Take care! ♥️
With parsley, I do cell trays with moistened soil and then put the trays into ziplock bags and then freeze them for 1-2 days. Then I remove them from the ziplock bags and put them on the heat mat with my other seed trays.
I get almost 100% germination this way. It works with both curly and flat Italian parsley.
I always do an entire 6 cell tray for each parsley just in case germ isn’t 100% and then give away extra seedlings to neighbors.
New to gardening here in zone8 Washington state. I planted : tomatoes, broccoli, lettuce / radish. I’ll be transplanting my sweet corn next!. Next year I’ll be growing spinach. happy gardening everyone.
