❤amazing green foliage...# Princess Charlene de Monaco i.e a # Meilland lnternational breed is a heat loving rose😊 how hot is California summer now? The Gulf area is heating up now due to the heatwave & a few tornadoes hit there. # stay safe
No tornados in Healdsburg, CA where this video was shot at Front Porch Farm. It does get warm. It was 103 days ago in Healdsburg. Here's the forecast for the next 10 days: www.wunderground.com/forecast/us/ca/healdsburg/38.61,-122.87 Out in the CA desert the temps are 120+ degrees. But almost all of CA is very low humidity.

Well, those previous Atmospheric Rivers that flooded Southern CA were wet & windy. At least, the drought there was over :) My country , Malaysia i.e tropical is still hit with El Nino in northern states & many people told how their roses got scalded, burnt & died :( by the dozens. Other places are otherwise...so wet & foggy due to The Southwest Monsoon in the middle of our supposedly dry summer from June- August. So, which rose is ideal for such crazy conditions? My friend had bought Graham Thomas & Golden Celebration. She lives in the hot & wet lowland.Thanks! I bought Pope John Paul ll for my neighbour & it has big blooms probably due to our cooler highlands microclimate in the rainforests :)
❤❤❤hugeee....blooms😊l think the climate of Santa Cruz at 800ft of elevation is just perfect for growing David Austin's roses similar to its native England's weather😊❤ Beautiful!
Thank you for this! My question is how do I find out about how to hear about live events like this in advance so I can tune in live? Where can I sign up? PS I am old, 55 years plus gardening and working on French farms, and currently tend a large home garden, however I'm challenged by internet and age-related stuff.
Glad it was helpful! There's a monthly newsletter that announces short courses and online presentations. You can sign up for the newsletter here: mailchi.mp/f265c9f97d44/subscribe
It is important to remove rootstock water sprouts completely not just hacking them off . This will discourage through regrowth. I have grown my trees as strong central leaders and allow them to get as tall as they like and as wide as they like. I do not remove more than one quarter of the trees live vegetation in one year and consequently do not induce water sprouts into my canopy. This keeps my canopy open.
Thanks for the greatand informative ideos. I guess both woodchips and green (cover crops) csn be combined in different sections of my citrus orchard - i'm writing from the valencia area in Spain, a typical mediterranean zone with (likely) drier summers and winters than in Santa Cruz. Best
You omitted the need for stropping. That’s not the consensus. Paper sharp is not razor sharp . I think that if you say knife sharpness is critical for success then test the knife on its ability to shave hair
Here's an article on how to use and care for a diamondback stone. They recommend Krud Kutter to keep particles from clogging the stone and and Bar Keepers Friend to remove rust when it forms. www.bestsharpeningstones.com/article_details.php?id=5&article_name=Care%20&%20Use%20of%20Diamond%20Sharpening%20Stones
I love the buttery yellow of Graham Stewart Thomas but it seems to have been discontinued. I have not been able to find it for sale for several years now. Such a shame.
Ladybird beetles are attracted to peonies, and the larva of these insects are good biological controls for aphids and other sucking insects. Have you noticed this?
I thinned and sized my dwarf Macintosh. Still has fruit and still has growth. My question is how do i work my 13+ apple tree to grow stronger root? Some things to note is an arborist was out and said damage at the base of the truck and recommended cutting it down. I choose nature will find a way. My dwarf cherry roots are strong so when i prune my apple again what do i fertilize to hopefully grow stronger root? Please add thank you
This channel is so great! Thanks for all the knowledge. I was curious how far around the base of the tree you suggest? I'd like to mulch orchard trees as well as some large ornamental trees. Is it based off of the canopy spread? Thanks
@@ucscagroecology It's great to hear from you, I've seen mandarin trees in your orchard in a number of your videos and was wondering if you could describe the varieties of mandarins or any other citrus spp. that you grow on your farm.
Alot more possibilities talk not alot about how to propagate more good size apples and less small Right at the end a little talk on cutting back thinning. Best wishes for future information videos
We prune in the winter and end of the summer, not in the springtime when the tree is producing blossoms and then fruit. Here is the list of 62 videos on fruit tree care. You will find several videos on pruning. Hope this helps. ru-vid.com/group/PLdNOdHei9NV0QjOJDbUTx6wgD-qkiNGah
Nice to see the farm moving into the new understanding of agriculture. I learned double digging there in 1990! Yikes. 1:20 damn typed too soon. Still on hyper soil tillage addiction. That’s a missed opportunity. All the cool kids are no dig. Still, edges and corners, middle takes care of itself. To this day. Thanks, Orin.
If you will listen to what Orin actually says, he talks about deep tillage as an initial preparation and not something done repeatedly. If you are planting new trees into a heavy clay soil, you need to break up the clay to allow the new roots to penetrate down and outward. Once the trees are planted, you can never break up the clay directly under and near the tree and you'll likely wind up with stunted trees that produce little fruit. What's really cool is to know when to till, or not to till, and Orin explains it in this video. Listen carefully, and you might learn something: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ws5w62yNJVk.html
Thank you, my wife and I are in the middle of planting mutants delivered in cardboard boxes and some of last years leftovers from a local nursery. This video should be mandatory for 10th grade...... and all homeowners
