Angela, is it too late to start russet Potatoes 🥔 growing in Texas 9b ?
Thanks for your tips. I am starting my garden.
I love your video and my name is also Angela.
I just bought Moringa tree seeds. I live in Santan Valley. I guess I have to wait til March to plant them. I have 5 ac in Pearce, Az which is where I'll be planting. Also Queenland/Kurrajong trees.
Thanks Angela! I use your planting calendar all the time.
A small gardening group meets at my house, and some of our members have also purchased your calendars at my recommendation.
I actually bought 2 of them because the dog ate my first one.
OMG Angela, my calendars arrived and my mom and I are loving them. Yes I purchased both flower and veggies so I have it all in front of me lol. Mom 8s loving the larger calendars she finds it so eady to read. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. It shows!!!❤
BTW loving you bloopers 😂😅keep it real girl!❤
Love this video more stuff I learned and the bloopers 😂 thanks Angela, take care ❤️😊👩🌾
How do I know if soil is hydrophobic?
Your videos are fabulous. I love the wealth of information you provide. Thank you for teaching us!
Have you composted with alfalfa, ive gotten scraps from a AZ pellet plant and its great , just needed to compost fully, as the blends use Burmuda grass, and it loves our heat, terrible weed once it comes.
The first ingredient in compost starter is alfalfa meal.
If I put food scraps in the dirt I'd get all sorts of critters trying to dig it up and eat them. We've got opossums, armadillos, skunks, raccoons, etc here.
Angela maybe add a segment on calendar on when to start hardening off your seedlings
You are my FAVORITE gardening-tip source. I'm launching my brand new greenhouse and have already started lettuce, tomatoes and hopefully
watermelon. My three watermelons are doing really good and strong. We don't need the music in the background. You do a great enough job
to not need it.
💚💚💚💚💚💚
Love you! What a breath of fresh air is September!
Thanks so much for another great video! I have a patio in Peoria and have containers only, so appreciated you including them.
Tulle is great for so many uses in the garden – glad to know you use it too. I also got some kitchen storage containers, put large holes in them, and use them for mini compost bins in my plant containers 🪴.
Thanks for all the wonderful advice! When will your 2025 garden planning calendars come out, and will they include gardening in containers?
I was finally able to get some I’iota onions from the Arizona Farm.
Thank you
Love watching your videos as a beginning gardener in Apache Junction! I just started my first raised bed and it has gotten overtaken with unwanted mushrooms! Do you have any suggestions on avoiding this? I can’t keep up with picking them all every day! Thanks for your time!
Do you buy new worms each year? Mine either didn't survive the summer or dug WAAY down out of their bins.
lol love the excerpts
I wasn’t sure where to post this question so posting on your latest video.
I see you have a playlist of organic pests control but how do you handle pests like beetles, scorpions, crickets that get into the home? i’m torn between having my home sprayed and killing beneficials but for the first time in 26 years there was a scorpion in my bed last night. I just have an over abundance of crickets and beetles too. What do you do? I was thinking to only get my inside and just around the foundation of my home sprayed but I’m not sure a pest control company will do that. Any advice?
So wanted to attend your class this am but I was unable to make it. Thank you so much for all your information you pass along.
My garden looks horrible. Omg… it's like a blanket of aphids and leaf burrowers landed on everything. It started with the okra. Then my pumpkins. They overtook all the flowers to the point that everything shriveled. Idk what to do. It seemed to happen overnight. I want to plant for Fall but I'm terrified. Everything grew from seed wonderfully but quickly were pest ridden. 😮💨
I just stumbled onto your channel. Not in Az but in the SoCal low desert so also in zone 9b. 95-110 summers and winters can get down to 30-40 in Jan nights for a few hours but we generally only get that light frost for a few weeks. Daytime winter is usually above 50 but a Feb day can range from 35 at night to 85 in the day. So happy to get tis for the heat in particular! Thanks! Just watched your strawberry video bc they haven't been surviving in my garden. Gonna try them behind the asparagus this spring for afternoon shade. Thanks!
We are north of prescott zone 8a . Do we still fertilize at this point? We usually get a frost or freeze sometime in Oct
