Hi Gary, my onions were devastated this year as well but with Allium Leaf Miners which have made their way south from Pennsylvania into Maryland. Take a look for the pattern you may not have been hit by root maggots after all.
Oh I despise the white moth. It's my greatest enemy. Then slugs, groundhogs, rabbits, squirrels, stray cats. A squirrel or stray cat just dug out a container of recently planted potatoes and exposed 2 seed potatoes.
QUESTION. Do you hand water your hole garden with a water hose or do you have some sort of irrigation piping throughout? I have my first garden this now and it takes me about an hour with just 12 beds wnd 4 fruit trees… There's got to be an easier faster way?
OH I love that meadow sage (didn't know what it was) it is so pretty!!
That insect looked like an adult squash vine borer.
The Hungarians use the parsnips in soup—especially in gulyas and bone broth. They get a little sweeter when cooked in soup.
Your garden is amazing!! I live in the desert where it is a war to have a garden not burn in summer, freeze in winter or perish of bug attacks😂
Excellent point about NOT growing more than you actually need to eat. I always grow way too much and then get burned out harvesting later in the season, as well as (as you say) not being able to police the pests adequately. Gardening for 65 years and I still don't have a handle on this!
The pest that attacks my onions I believe is an allium leaf miner. It is a tiny brownish red insect that borrows into my bunching onions and leeks but mostly only in the late summer and autumn. I think the larvae is a tiny white worm. Is this the same pest that attacks your onions? I'm going to cover my late bunching onions this year and see if it helps.
Cheers Gary! Thank you for the tour🪴💚
I’m interested in your treatment plan for onions. I’ve been plagued by the allium bugs for years I had to toss all my leeks and so last year I covered my Patterson onions with a row cover starting April until June to ensure they didn’t come and infest my crop. They come in early spring AND fall. I’m convinced the leeks really draw them so they are out for me going forward. I had some onions that stayed tiny so I pulled them replanted…(experimented) and they started to flower so I pulled them and found a few of the bugs. I hope they don’t get into my garlic because my understanding is they might. It’s really a shame because these are crops the deer won’t bother. Your garden looks really great 👍 so far ahead of my CT garden.
The white butterfly and the sphinx moth are my nemesis, a badminton racquet gets the butterfly but the moth comes at night to lay there tomato plant eating eggs, horn worms 😡
Thanks!
I so appreciate your videos! You are my go to channel. I am in PA same zone as you. Sonething is attacking my potatoes in a raised bed and the stems on just a little of them have suddenly wilted. Like gone lifeless and rotted. Any ideas? Tx.
You need some chicken for of the green the you don't use 😅
Wow !
I'm getting regular harvests of crookneck squash, zucchini, lemon squash, cucumbers, and peppers. The pole bean vines are climbing the trellis tunnel. The cucumbers aren't. The cantaloupe and watermelon are loaded with flowers and climbing their arched trellis. My onions look terrible, but are doing their thing, forming bulbs. My tomato plants are huge, and loaded with fruit and flowering. Angel is determined to kill my ACE-55 tomato plant. The first Japanese made their appearance in my garden this weekend. Overall, the garden is doing very well. My potato harvest was decent. I have more chitting for a July 2nd planting date.
How can you tell if you have onion maggots and how do you get rid of them? Thanks.
I think I saw Bigfoot!
Goats got my onions then the chickens took a turn.
Look at YOU grow Gary!!! Congratulations on your channel.. I have been following you for the past 4 years… wow…WE have grown! You are a wise voice in our gardening community- always sharing your knowledge and practical solutions for gardening…
You should consider growing Queen Anne lace flowers. They’re “wild carrots” so they have similar flowers to parsnips but come in different colors
Thumbs up.
TY so much for sharing!
Surely you turn a chicken/thanksgiving turkey carcass into soup. Substite 60% of your circularly sliced carrots with (perhaps a dif variety) of parsnips. Let them experience a frost– great winter storage in your zone right there in the ground! Pull'em when ya want'em. Relatively long term viable canned soups taste, texture nearly good as FRESH.
Sunflowers:
In my case that goes with the stuff between or outside of the garden. C'mon you can walk a wee bit further to lop a head and harvest what the finches left for ya, eh?!
In my case (except for 2 pepper plants I lost today) the exterior cover crops (clover, vetch, mustard) and weeds/dandilion in the grass has been preferred.
I think I'm a bit more concerned!
OK, you were so gracious with this content, I'll add…. (sorry)
Water more for sure in great, deep compost that will drain or dry out and sandy soil letting air in. Wet feet, clay in ground not so much.
Spot on, Gary for my deepest raised bed (14") of high OM that drains, possibly dry out quickly!
All that rain probably flushed out all your nutrients quicker in containers it happens sometimes and the rain probably made the snails worse as well
What's the percentage of peppermint oil and water ratio please? Are you going to keep that tan tower or selling?
Your garden looks so beautiful so lush I’m in Texas so I am struggling already with the bugs vine wars what is that leaf foot bugs? I forgot they’re called but I put on gloves today and I went squishing away nicely and green.
I don’t do a lot of stuff. I don’t have enough room. I’m just getting these two beds made right now but they’re tall so I gotta fill them up with laws and stuff, but I have planned for sure to do a plenty of green beans and they’re getting ready to start beans, Poll beans, green beans so I can and then also I’ve already started making pickles. I planted so many Boston pickling seeds all over the place so I have pickles pretty much daily, but I’m trying to not pick them all till I wanna harvest several of us so I can make Brian and MAKES some pickles , I got deal really well. I have not been successful with. I’m trying different areas because that vine board keeps getting them. Everything looks so pretty and lush and the next thing you know it it’s just it’s dead and I’m gonna keep trying. I haven’t received one now. I see some for me, but I don’t know oh and I have plenty of bees all around my cucumbers, and I also even seen a bunch of lizards, which is good for me. I think it’ll kill some of the bad bugs 🌱🌱
