Hey James this is my first year growing zucchini. Since the flowers don't stay open for long if a male flower has closed up is the pollen still good in it if you peel open the petals to get to it?
Happy belated birthday TUCK🎉🎉
If you're going to be picking the flowers off your squash plants to hand pollinate, be sure to save the flowers for eating. They're pretty good fried.
Thank you for constantly provided us with garden tips.
Many blessings!!!!
Throwin some hearts for the Ole Tuckminster ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍❤🔥💘💝💖💗💓
Hello little Tuck!!! I love that little guy! He's so sweet and really great tips. I'm gonna use these
Berkley Jensen 18oz red cups item number 48911. 240 cups.
Cup sides are ribbed
Put holes in bottom
Approximately 14 cups in 1020 tray .
Easy to pot up into
For calcium you can also use powered milk
I've been doing almost all of these things for years. We repurpose just about everything for use in the garden, rather than throwing it away. As such, we produce very little household garbage. A few more examples of materials you can repurpose for planting:
* The polystyrene trays that come with meat or fish make for good drainage trays for seedlings. So do large aluminum food service trays, if you know someone who is throwing them out.
* Toilet paper tubes and similar cardboard items, as well as cardboard egg cartons, can be turned into biodegradable planters. This lets you avoid pulling apart roots when transplanting your seedlings.
* Laundry detergent jugs can be converted into watering cans if you drill a lot of small holes in the cap and a large hole in the handle to let air back in.
* Plastic yogurt cups, and any kind of disposable plastic or polystyrene cup, can be used for the same purpose as plastic drinking cups.
* The clear plastic lids that come with store bought pastries make for good humidity domes. So do any other clear plastic trays or lids.
* Disposable plastic utensils make for good plant labels.
* Old window screens, if you know someone who is throwing them away, are good for covering newly planted soil so pests don't disturb it.
* Old tires are among the best raised bed material I've found. Just stack them up and fill them like you would a raised bed. I got a whole bunch from our mechanic. They're pretty impact resistant too.
TUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy belated birthday, Tuck!
Great video. 👍🏼
Loved the ideas 👌💟
Another great video! Thanks I'm not sure if anyone else is having a problem accessing your merchandise web site. I continually get a 403 error. Just thought I'd say something.
I use baby food jars to save seeds in. 👍🏻
These are great household items to resue. I have used Solo red cups for seed starting, gallon milk jugs like you showed, q-tips for pollination & cardboard. I also use paper towel rolls as the brown in my compost, I cut it into pieces. I use toilet paper rolls around any new transplants in the soil to protect against bugs & roly pollies as they love fresh new leaves! Thanks
Look at that good boy! You go Tuck! Dirt nose. Hearts Tuck!
Love me some Tuck ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Have been using water jugs for the last few years. I also fill water jugs with water and freeze them. Then when the temperature is high, take the frozen jugs and turn upset down next to plants that could use the water. I have a well.
My male and female squash flowers never seem to open at the same time. So now I pick male flowers put on refrigerator and take them out to pollinate the female flowers when they open
I recently had a substitution at walmart that gave me plstic egg cartons and I saw it..turned on my soldering iron and made drainage in them to start seedlings..I usually use the biodegradable cartons to start seedling..I use all of my juice and milk jugs to make covers and winter sowing as well as just growing smaller plants. Thank you for all you and Tuck do and teach!
Great information, as usually, loved every minute of it, you present it as the greatest adventure,which it is Thank You.
I use cinnamon powder to fight damping off and other fungal infestations., when starting seeds. Cinnamon has organic anti fungal properties.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Tuck❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i puth banana peels on the soil.
Happy Birthday Tuck
I really enjoy your channel James.Thank you from Jay from central Mississippi!
In my Granger leather tool belt I always have a butter knife, tablespoon and fork. The fork is great for lifting wild violets and clover. Butter knife makes a perfect slot in the soil for transplants or seeds. The spoon is good for gently putting soil around the growing tomato plants.
❤❤❤
Save all toilet paper and paper towel rolls when done they can be used for seed starting as well. Cut paper towel rolls into 1/3 they should be roughly the same size as toilet paper rolls. Cut four 1 inch slits on 1 end on 4 sides then fold them in and fill with potting soil and the seeds, you can plant the whole thing in the ground when ready and it will naturally break down.
Awesome video, bro.
Buy assorted small paint brushes like model painting types and use to pollinate plants the same as the cotton swab and they are reusable.
Great tips! I've used some of these before but I learned some new ones from this!!!
I use the solo cups for starting tomatoes as well. I fill them initially 1/2 way up & then after the plant has its first true leaves, fill the rest of the way with soil. Roots will grow on the buried stem & it will be a stronger plant.
@JamesPrigioni the one I recommend is not around the house, and we carry it on our person everyday!
HAIR…our hair can provide a boost of nitrogen into the soil will also helping water retention. Give me a shout out for that one.
ps. Tuck needs his own line of t-shirts for our pets and their humans
Reuse Plant signs, or spoons and forks to mark where plants were planted.
I just saw in your YT description you say that GMO caused health problems, but EVERYTHING is GMO, everything has edited genes, we are edited by background radiation all the time, that's how evolution works, and artificially edited dna in food never caused any problems so far, hope you can correct that in your YT desc
Good Afternoon
Yuuhu let's go
Awesome, thanks You for sharing garden & plants care.
Really beautiful and helpful.
What do I do when my squash produce only female flowers? My plants are loaded with female flowers and the squash are 2 – 4 inches long. I just found my first male flower today, but all the female flowers have now shriveled up and the squash are starting to do the same. Do I pick off the female flowers to force male flowers to bloom? All of my squash plants are doing the same thing. I can’t even hand pollinate them as the male flowers are not happening.
I disagree with ash (excluding store purchased products sold to be burnt) b/c some cities are still covered in lead-dust from paint, fuel, & other products from the 1970s(so yard-waste ash can be hazardous). & soot is hydrophobic so other than heavy metals I just think modern products(fertilizers or food-safe amendments) are more safe/less-unpredictable(hidden dangers).
I think you should do a video on Calcium. My tomato leaves are all crumpled b/c I should probably be spraying leaf-applied calcium as the plants are absorbing way too much of the other nutrients which is causing the crumpling. My plants are healthy but with more Calcium uptake in the upper portions of the plant I could probably have 2x or 3x the leaf-size if I reduced this crumpling by offering the plant a more efficient source of Calcium. (my theory anyway as I'm no scholar.)
Can I apply there Sir? Haha I really love your videos 💚
Tucks t-shirts are dope! He is the garden gaurdian
I live in the damp Pacific Northwest where slugs and snails are a huge problem. The absolute best remedy I've found is those copper coils you buy for scrubbing metal pots. You can get 3 for a dollar at a dollar store. They unravel like nylons and I cut circles from that and wrap them around the base of the plant like a collar. Slugs/snails won't cross copper because it creates a shock reaction with their slime. If you're curious as to what we face here, look up banana slug….! And happy belated birthday to Tuck!
Happy Birthday Tuck😊
Thank you. ❤🎂🎈❤ To Tuck. I’m in southern NJ. I usually plant in the 15th. I started early. Yesterday because of fungus gnats showing up in my house. I’ve tried everything that anyone has suggested. They just don’t go away. Lol. They’re in my greenstalk out in my deck too! Ugh
Eggshells will not be available for the plant within the season they are added. It is best to put in compost and gain the benefits when you actually apply the compost.
Quart yogurt containers are a great size if you need to move eggplant or tomatoes etc. up from 4" pots. The containers and lids also make great plant tags, just cut strips with regular scissors and write on them with a Garden Marker.
I put the quart containers into sterilite totes so I can carry them in and out of the house to protect from cool snaps or to harden them off.
nice value of knowledge
