I'm more than a little enthusiastic about growing roses and other cool, useful plants. Lately, we've been adding to our assortment of unusual ornamentals and permaculture plants. As we develop our little nursery, I'll post some videos about our roses, growing topics, and anything that relates to starting up and maintaining a small farm. For those curious, we're growing in a northern temperate climate, USDA Zone 8.
If lactobacilli are required for this process, does this mean that pickle juice or sauerkraut juice would also work? It's already fermented so you wouldn't have to wait weeks for the rice and milk. 🤔
Thank you! New viewer/now subscriber LOVING your videos. You’re knowledgeable and evident you share out of love not affiliate. Easy, pleasurable viewing due to a feeling you’re listening to a friend/mentor. BONUS for me… you call home somewhere around me. Thanks again!
❤Awesome tour! Great info 😊thanks. I am itching to grow that herbal # Rosa Centifolia & Apothecary rose in Malaysia for its healing properties but they aren't available here😢
I wish I knew what kind of roses I have..I think I've been wasting time deadheading them. I never see anymore blooms after the first rush in spring..maybe a stray rose or 2. My roses are very suseptible to that fungus and loses most leaves. I thought maybe that was the reason but maybe I have the type that only bloom once?.what kind of roses bloom more than once and how can you tell?..i pass by some houses in my town that always seam to have some roses all summer
Me too! My Dad has about 6 large rose bushes, and in 3 years have never been trimmed. I just had no idea where to start tackling them but have a much better idea now! First video I’ve seen from you and it took me about 30 seconds to spot that awesome Canadian accent! You have amazing plants
Thanks for this video, Jason. I was able to finally identify the reason for the “skeletonization” of my David Austins! I did a bit of looking and squishing, and I’m hopeful that will handle it. I’ve purposefully planted lots of Veronica to host ladybugs but I’m not sure what other predators I might need to balance out my micro environment. Many thanks for your helpful advice.
I've bought the liquid traps before & don't feel like they work. The ants come & crowd around & look like a cow herd drinking from a pond. They don't seem to be carrying the poison back. I'll try this.t
This was a very interesting and informative presentation. As others have mentioned there was a total absence of the typical filler language and self promotion. Numerous kudos are due for this YT.
I really enjoy your videos, they are very informative. I have mosaic virus problem in my garden bed, and plants growth are not as good.I don't want to remove those plant. Is there any treatment for that.
It's so funny because I always come back to this video thinking that some mysterious exotic pest as been chomping at my rose leaves and inevitably just come to the conclusion it was a slug
I lived in Vancouver many years ago and the Quarry Garden at Queen Elizabeth park was my favourite place to bring visitors. Thank you for the wonderful tour
How do you get past the fact that you weren’t an “expert” at plants when you first started selling? I have been dabbling to learn what I can grow well in my area and then keep learning about them from You Tube, but I still have to keep my corporate job for now and don’t have time to take extra classes or work at a nursery. I’d love to just show up at Farmers Market with what I’ve got, but I can’t present myself as an expert on these plants yet.
I agree with all that you say in this video. However, I find the main reason for failure has much to do with the growing medium. This is almost species specific. A gritty mix for rhododendron, a peaty mix for fuchsia, sphagnum moss rich mix for hydrangea. I love your straight to the point presentation, and in no way would I presume to dispute anything you convey. The growing medium has much to do with the success rate, added to all your observations.
My Omar khayyam is just getting taller & bushier .. no flowers..made me wonder how they felt at the Kew gardens when the seeds had come over & the bush is taking it’s time to produce flowers .. kasanlik is just the same.. i don’t want them in the ground .. they’re not meant for pots either
I think the solution to the rodents, rats, mouse hidden inside that tire is to plant that rose in a rose bed style, meaning that soil will leave no room for the rodents, rats, mouse to hide inside that tire. There is no need to dig that soil at all, but you must prepare a new soil to put inside that tire. 🤔
I witnessed a huge Oak tree fall over at 9:30pm 03/06/24 and as an Englishman (hearts of Oak), im on my way to propagate 12 off-cuts of it in 3 different locations. 1. Bottom of a large area valley (few meters from where it fell) 2. At the plateau top of the hills of the valley. 3.the slopes of the hills of the valley. Soil is flint, clay, dark and rich top soil, very moist valley, hard water, cow and horse pastures in the area, mix of woodland. Chess valley, Chalfront&Latimer, Buckinghamshire, England.
You reached HERO status and became a candidate for a STATUE because: 1) You said it isn't easy. (Unlike other peoples' videos) 2) You said the right way depends on many things. (Unlike other peoples' videos) 3) Your video is quick, clear, concise, and has no why-are-we-hearing-this junk. (Unlike other peoples' videos)
Really happy I found your video. There’s so much conflicting information on the web about deadheading roses. Your explanations make a lot more sense and I now feel confident to deadhead my roses today. Thank you.
More precise information would be helpful, such as cleanliness of the cuttings, tools, sterilized soil etc., humidity and composition of the substrate used, time of the process and temperature of the substrate and air...
another great video, thank you. agree that approx. 9 yards of sand for a 20' x 20' veggie plot isn't impossible. I've added over 20 yards of gravel by hand to our gardens by now just for structure / paths. it's amazing how big 3 yards looks at first but then it hardly makes a dent in the yard! the delivery fees are worse than the materials cost, so the intel in this video would be good for someone so they could order 10 yards at once
p.s. agree that taking a few years to layer mulch on top seems a better strategy than strip mining 2' and then putting in a gelatinous puree of sand, silt and compost. we've seen a few episodes about Dowding's no dig method on Gardeners' World and it does make sense that all the networks in living soil are important for bio-chemical processes. loved the pastry analogy, thanks, that was a new one!
