Potato Fall Planting for Thanksgiving
Some years the best harvest is the fall potatoes, not the spring plantings. The weather usually works a little better in the fall. You can cover a light frost, but once the days are very hot they tend to stay that way. Here is how I plant to get a fast fall crop of white, yellow, yukon and purple potatoes.

    1 medium onion 4 cloves garlic 2 cups mint leaves OR 20 drops peppermint essential oil 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper 2 tablespoons liquid castile soap (or biodegradable liquid dish soap) Water Place the onion, garlic, peppermint, and cayenne in a blender, and pulverize it. Allow the mixture to soak/steep for a couple hours (optional, but do it if you can), then strain with a fine mesh strainer. Add the onion/garlic mixture to a one-gallon contain (an old milk jug or vinegar jug will work), add the soap, and enough water to make one gallon. Pour into a spray bottle and spritz on any plants being attacked by bugs. Spray 1-2 times per week, or after a heavy rain.

    always grow beans away from other vegetables.. those bugs are notorious for legumes.. My grandma's neighbor had these before.. He used vinegar and clove oil diluted in water.. to prevent them from getting on the leaves.. be careful not to put pure vinegar on plants it will cause burn.. clove kills vinegar kills and bugs HATE the smell of both

    They are sucking the life out of my bush bean plants. Your bean plants are what's attracting them. They are attracted to legumes. And they stink so bad. I've been spraying them with dish soapy water and drowning them in a cup of soapy water when I can. That seems to help. My beans seem to be recovering. Fingers crossed.

    It would be a lo of work but after going over them with a vacuum again you could try covering them with Tulle fabric mesh ( the material they make wedding veils out of). You can buy bolts of it very inexpensively. I'm not that far from you in SC . I'm having pest issues too. I use a Ryobi hand held vacuum and have been going after the squash bugs on an ongoing basis.

    At this point, sounds like you tried everything you could, I would hit it with Seven by Bayer, I understand you don't want to, but if you don't. you are risking the rest of your crop. Good luck! The bug needs to be id'ed , local nursey with a plant doctor on staff? Co-op exten. service? I like Seven because of no smell, I spray at dusk because of honey bees. Please let us know how you fair in this, thanks for filming.

    My slips have done better than I grew myself, but I’m so curious because I had bought these mail order slips and none of them had to leave so I was so confused as to how to even plant them They came in a set of six and not one single slip had leaves on it. They looked like just sticks.

    I had my first Candy Roaster Squash several years ago. I bought it from a market in Easley, SC that got it from a farmer in NC. It was so big and heavy I think I paid over $25 for it. I saved some seeds and planted a few the next spring in a raised bed and couldn't believe , like you showed in the video, how quickly the vines took off. They grew outside the bed and all over the yard. I had the fruit resting on patio furniture and the vines were all over the place. I think they might be one of the most fun and exciting squash varieties to watch grow.

    In Vancouver my yellow potato sprouted eyes under a grow lamp pretty quickly. In the dirt bag it's going nuts! But the red is still trying to barely sprout. I removed it from the same dirt bag when it didn't do anything because it was starting with the grow lamp too, but too slow. Now I'm skunked with the red. Not sprouting with the grow lamp (and a bit of water). Maybe I'll just plant it in the spare container again and wait. Any ideas on yellow vs red? Maybe it just needs old friend darkness and full moisture instead of inducing a "plant" with the lamp. Nice and cool outside too, so there's that. I'm throwing it back outside in a different container. The cheap pepper isn't fully utilizing that pot anyway.

    This is my first year growing sweet potatoes.

I wanted to figure out the best way to harvest the slips for planting, and your video was perfect. I'll be planting 45 slips in nine 25 gallon grow bags (5 per bag) with the goal of harvesting 45 pounds. Thank you!

    Im in the same zone, but my things aren't this big. Can't seem to get past second leaves on my tomatoes, still started hardening them off this week. Any advice? Should I fertilize? Mostly tomatoes and peppers here.

    • @reer5340
      @reer5340 4 месяца назад

      from my limited experience it boils down to light, warmth and regular watering (but not too much). Light is particularly important. Also I noticed that while the tomatoes are quick to develop the first two leaves it takes a bit longer to grow into the proper plant we know. In terms of fertiliser I use a bit of the liquid from the bokashi or the wormery, disolved in the water in a very low ratio 1:20 or something like this. In my area it is still too cold to put stuff outside, but in a week or two I'll try a part of my seedlings and I'll continue over the next period in batches, fingers crossed 🙂

Instead of a round onion like a baseball. They are round yes but not to perfectly round. Like the number zero turned on its side. Hope this helps. 🤷‍♂️

    Wood sorrel is edible 😊 The seed pods taste almost like a sour pickle. The cultivated varieties are grown for the tubers I believe. I've only eaten the leaves, flowers and pods. You can look up info online about eating them and if there's any thing they react with, etc. I seem to remember they're like spinach as far as the oxalic acid so people with kidney problems probably should steer clear. The best revenge for weeds invading your garden is to eat them. It's great to have the last laugh 😂

    Huw Richards has a video out about using the space between garden beds for making compost. The video shows how he does it and how much compost he made using the method. I've also seen where people put out water trays and bird baths. It helps to keep the birds and mice from eating the tomatoes and veggies to get the water out of them. My dad is in his seventies and he says gettin' old ain't for sissies 😂 I've been planting in more totes and five gallon buckets. I follow Robbie and Gary gardening easy to make my own dirt for less than buying it. They grow almost everything in containers of some sort in hot California.
