  1. Planted corn and chili peppers next to each other. Believe or not the Corn had a hot flavor

  2. I love your progress! Thank you for the tips on growing corn. The bag trick never heard of. Going to try it this year and see what happens.

  3. Good afternoon and good information and soon as I can and the weather warms up little bit more going to plant me two tomato plants and that be good enough for me and the wind did get pretty good here I think it was 22 miles an hour and I had to get in the house did not want that mess up my hair do lol and you have a good afternoon I'm going to fix me a sandwich and it's going to have a accident

  4. You still need wind breaks, also in order to reduce the evaporation. Still no intention to surround your place with a zig-zag circle of pallets? I'm contemplating adding bamboo sticks along the neighbours fence in order to reduce the wind

  5. Maybe your pear tree is too happy where it is at and needs a stressor. Funny story. 45 years ago, give or take, my mother bought an old house that had a very old orange tree growing on her property. She was told that tree had not produced any fruit for several years. Later someone told her that the tree was happy where it was and did not have a need to reproduce fruit. To make it produce she needed to beat it with a stick. Well she decided to whip it with belt. She said the neighbors thought she had lost her mind, when they saw beating this poor tree. Well it worked That tree produced large, sweet oranges every year after that.

  6. Rained here…1.15 inches…more tomorrow…and the next day…I got two more tomatoes in the ground though…it's only 59 out but its supposed to be 81 tomorrow. It might hit 75 soil temp by June. ( too much rain ) The gravel in the barn was getting pushed down so I have added fifteen 50 pound bags of tile mortar to the top of it (that I got for free) and letting it soak up . It's just sprinkly raining now. I 'm picking strawberries. (3) Maybe they will do good. I planted some everbearing ones in an old laundry tub that I cut shorter. I planted the June ones in the ground. The sun was too hot so I put them under the old chicken nests where they are in the shade most of the day. I'm soaking seeds today for next week when it quits storming. It's raining again…well I won't have to water for a few weeks. lol All this rain comes with a price. 30-50 % chance of a twister here tomorrow eve. I'm getting 70 watts from the 1000 watts that I have out…I brought some in and I may bring them all in before tomorrow night. We might get some hail…We got pea size hail last night. The four tomato plants look soggy but I guess they will get over it. Looks like it's going to rain 4 or 5 inches this week. I won''t be able to drive out for a week…good thing I went shopping yesterday.

  7. Your so intelligent. You should be on National Geographic as to how to grow a garden in the desert. Just my opinion. Do you use your grape leaves for stuffing? If so what is your recipe?

  8. Hi G Bear🙋 I love it😂 "This is going to be a short one" 19 minutes later🤭 Your garden gets greener and happier every year💚🌱 Nice to look forward to lots of fresh picked fruit!😃 The grapevine that Tony & LeeAnn gave you is really taking off with the clusters👍 It's because it's so happy in the greenhouse with all the other happy goodies😁 I never knew about the silk of the corn like that, so they are like an umbilical cord for each kernel💯 Nice video G Bear. So dang windy today😯
