Hello Sir, I am interested to buy seeds from you. How much will it cost to ship several veggie seeds to the Gambia, West Africa. Could not find an email on the your website that is why i contacted you here.
Hi ! great video ! Yesterday I removed a bunch of pods from my bok choy plant that are still green because the plant was turning mushy, so I removed the plant and then decided to save the pods as a test. I wonder if these pods that are *green* will ever turn yellow and then dry out, and have the seeds actually go dark brown to black. I have a feeling they won't. I'm betting you must keep one plant growing and let it go to seed in order to do this... so the pods must be on a growing plant in order to get those seeds black inside.... -- I do have several other plants and will let them keep going, they all have plenty of pods so I still have a change to get some good seeds. I wonder if you have ever taken any pods off a plant before the seeds were black.
Just a thought: you've got 86k subscribers. You should really be affiliate marketing those Hook-N-Feed buckets. I mean, why not? You get money in your pocket, and we (people who watch your videos) would then have an easy-to-click link, directly to the company.
You probably got a seed from a different species of moringa - when some companies package their seeds, they sometime accidentally get a few seeds from a different species mixed in. This happens to me with sunflowers.
Thank you for this. I have a patio container garden in 8a and always plant too late in the spring and it just gets too hot too soon. Will try fall planting this year.
FINALLY something that shows me how a ready to harvest seeds look like, i dont know why but i culdnt find info on google about it, most info was about harvesting rhubarb when its already grown, or planting it from pot to ground. Thanks for the video :)
I think it's better to leave the shell on because it absorbs water that the seed can use if the soil dries up. Just a theory. I soak the seeds on wet paper towel inside sealed plastic food box. This is to insure that a seed is alive before planting it in soil mini pots. If you plant a seed in a soil pot before germinating, the seed might be dead and not come up so you wasted pot space for a dead or weak seed. I think that reddish seedling might be a weak seed.
fresh leaves are much better than powder. I started a big batch of seedlings this season. Picked a branch today and added fresh leaves to my pico de gallo salsa which I ate with cornchips and kebab wrap! The mental clarity and good mood is almost immediate and long lasting
you explain that tutorial with pears and apples, thank you, finally I do understand how the timer work. I saw different tutorials and after watching them I was on point A again.
I have a silly question I like gardening but I do not know what to plant and when. Can you make a list please? I also wanted to point out that I live in New England. With 4 seasons!
I know this is an old video, but what I did was put the tangled plants in a bit bucket of water. The soil washes away and root separate much more easily. Worked like a charm.
buy a baby wood-stove, and build brick half-walls on 5 sides. the bricks will absorb lots of heat from the stove, without changing much in temperature. the heat stored in the bricks will be released slowly to the rest of the greenhouse. Also place barrels of water near the stove, they too will absorb lots of heat without changing much in temperature. An old timer's trick: put water barrels in direct sun, place raised beds on top of the barrels. solar-thermal-mass. just re-listened to your cost of electricity segment ... Here in Massachusetts, just got my National Grid bill - 28 cents per kWh. Here, propane heat is less than half the price of electric heat. Wood is less than half the price of propane -- even if you buy those ¾ cubic foot bundles for $7 at the supermarket. If you buy in cords (128 cubic feet) the price drops by half again.
I'm guessing California would be about the same as me in Southern Oregon. I start my seeds in Nov indoors and get them outside in January. But our ground never freezes here so I can do that
for unbelievers... just try... for me aspirin works lile magic... for bonus use foliar feed based on liquid fish fertilizer... but aspirin makes them by far stronger and resistant to drought... as far as the "aspirin adiction" for tomatoes that is like saying that you are addicted to cold shower and without it one will have widrawal setbacks
