Hi Kim maybe she you should use banana fertilizer I remember banana fertilizer from you and I try it came out good
Great tips, thanks, Kim.
i usually plant to early. but this year i haven't because of the heat. It has been trying to fry my peppers, tomatoes and beans. It actually reached 103 here today. so i can imagine what it was like where you are.
Wait… Vegetables are animals that can march to drums?? 🙂
Usually, I have to wait until the second, or third week of September for weather cool enough to plant. Cool air came into my area of Alabama, 77F today! Yeah! Cool area is in the forecast for the next ten days, and their is a cooling trend. Temperatures will be in the 70s and low 80s, except for monday when it is forecasted for 86F. I spent all Thursday planting ans sowing seeds, then today paying for it with pain, but I got it done. I planted seedlings for red cabbage, Dutch Cabbage, and Rainbow Swiss Chard, then sowed seeds for broccoli, cauliflower, Pak Choi, Komatsuna, Yellow Heart Winter Choy, tatsoi, Nappa Cabbage, parsnips, Danvers carrots, Purple top turnips, and Detroit Red Beets. All raised beds that are planted have hoops, and are coverd with netting. Yes, it was a hard days work, being disabled after suffering a Widow Maker with triple bypass surgery. I way over did it again. Ubntil November, I am going to coast through the season, only havig to water, harvest pepeprs, strawberries, and green onions, and take care of the chickens. Then a little winter prep, some harvesting, pruning apple trees, and it bigins all over again in January. Oh, and now that is cooling down, I need to make salsa, tomato sauce, tomato soup, jelly, and do a bit of canning. I have about 100 pounds of tomatoes, twenty five pounds of diced peppers, and a bunch of garlic to work with. Onions are on my shopping list for Wednesday morning. It will be soon. Shazbot! I have a harvest babsket full of bell peppers on my kitchen counter that I need to dice up.
Oh my gosh! It seems that you had a crystal ball looking into my garden. 😊
I think I had made all those mistakes, with the exception of growing in a container (even then I think the soil might have been a wee bit compacted), especially planting too late after the start of Spring, and overcrowding plants without thinning out. 😏
Thank You So Much for creating a video on this topic. I am going to implement all these tips — hopefully this weekend — before my expected first frost date between October 18th and 21st.
If (when) I get some radishes and beets, I’ll come back here and post my efforts. 😉
I’m doing okay with carrots 🥕 😅, but beets have not done well 😂, lol when I think I am a good gardener looks like I fail in something, oh well I never give up, thank you for all you teach 💚, Mac send you lots of hugs 🐾 ❤
Not helpful. Even the products you push don't show good results.
man your garden is looking amazing!!! Loved the stories you guys did from your friend in MD (I'm from MD originally), very informative. I've got 3 trays of your microgreens pumping right now @CaliKim ready for eating next week and then next round of succession planting, You have great seeds and I can't wait to plant your Melon envelope in early spring (zone 7b), I couldn't resist, so opened the envelope to look at the seeds. I'm so pathetic LOL. I also got your Salad greens package recently and have about 8 pots of those going now in my fall angry landlord porch garden LOL they are coming up nice!! of course.. due to your channel I used the Monterrey spray this season (the Complete Disease Control), it worked nice, my squash leaves were mostly clean clean clean and it was easy to prune damaged ones as it went. I didn't get a great crop but the plants were healthy, just a question of position … but let me point out to all your viewers that here in 7b we were infested with Lantern Flies they sit by the dozen on my porch and surrounds – yet, none of them touched any of my plants, as I have sprayed everything at first in June with Monterrey. These are insulting insects, they sit on my railings laughing at me, but I laugh right back at them, what are you doing for dinner tonight? Nothing here, punk. Long story short I am pretty sure to be buying a new property soon in CT which has a real back yard, moving out of a townhouse situation… I'll be buying a load of your smart pots, because they look to be a great solution, as well as adopting your vertical planting methods from recent videos for tomatoes, cukes, zukes… Ok let me get outta here before people think I've been planted by a russian intermediary.. 🔥❤ (oh Mac and Camera Guy too of course)
