Welcome to Zone 9 Gardening. This is a channel with videos of my backyard garden plants and my orchard fruit trees. I try to grow my own vegetables and fruits and I like to collect rare plants.

TK for your recommendation. I lost 3 expensive opuntia pads due to rotting even thought I did not overwater them. I did not know what caused the rotting until i saw your video.. Really there is risk with the traditional /vertical way of rooting. I did not know until I listened to your video. Thanks.
thank you for this..this is my first year ever trying to grow pumpkins and i wasnt quite sure at what size they need to be transplanted. your video was clear and concise :-)
I actually tried this way after seeing this video with a fallen pad I found in a restaurant’s cactus garden, and it worked great! I tried to move the pad in the pot and it didn’t move, so it has an excellent root system! I wonder if the root system, due to the larger surface area in contact with the ground, is more robust vs planting the pads vertically. The pad is starting to sprout and is doing wonderfully, thank you for this technique! So simple but very effective.
If it's a seedling, it would not be a named variety. Seedlings, like our children, rarely look identical to the parent. It looks to me like Prunus × cistena, the purple leaf sand cherry .. This was possted 4 years ago. What does it look like now? Any fruit?
I had dorsett golden apple tree for @ 10 years here in zone 10. It was very productive and healthy, but I found the apple quality to be lacking quite a bit. There were even some pollinators, so it was getting everything it needed. It was just a meh and bland variety IMO.
Nice I got two that worked but my success rate is still very low. I’ve been watching many techniques. The ones that fail me the most have been the ones like this that the size don’t match. I’ll try this next time thank you.
Would not the plant be more susceptible to rot, being the whole propagation is based on the entire pad making contact with the ground? So after rain, the entire pad lays in water until it dries... least thats my thinking. You can "log" style your cuttings of columns this way too. I had a San Pedro etoliate one winter after i left it out bare root... bad idea. So i then cut it into several 8" columns, pup factories, if you will. I then used the "log" method with one cutting, hoping id get multiple pups all around.
My husband and I bought 10 bags. The quality was very poor. An unacceptable amount of trash found mixed with the soil, such as bits of plastic bags, small chunks of PVC, and stuff that appeared to be paper label type materiel. Also, I screened out at least a pound and a half of stones, tons of wood chips (not composted), wood, i.e. bark and sticks too big to be considered useful. In my opinion the quality control for this product is non-existent. Also, this product is advertised as organic, but I couldn’t locate anywhere on the bag indicating/certifying that it is organic indeed. Unfortunately, for me this purchase was a complete waste of money.
There's a lot of trees in California but none in stores. I think they just don't live long after they're plucked so it's hard to sell them like regular fruit
@@yukikanegawa7470Well that and the fact they get bruised so easily and they'd be all beaten and jostled and smashed if they were shooken off so you've got to hand pick
I had 10 peach seeds and cracked open the shells. 3 of the pits got split in half during opening the shells, perhaps I should of used your method. Are the broken seeds still good?
