Video of MyNJGarden.com a residential property, my home, as it develops over the years. I'm inspired by edible landscaping, permaculture techniques and the charm of a traditional cottage garden. When we moved into our home in August 2007 on this 120' x 160' lot, the entire front of the property was landscaped with stones and the back was heavily shaded, full of trees and with no grass at all. English Ivy covered about 1/3 of the back yard along with some naturlized lily of the valley. Since 2009 when we began to plant, we have over 30 fruit trees and shrubs, a keyhole garden, 3 hugelkulture beds, 6 vegetable beds, a strawberry patch, an herb spiral, a composting operation and ornamental, perennial and edible landscaping throughout the property the front, back and side yards.
In winter 2015 we moved to another property less than 5 miles from the old house. on this 1/3 acre, blank slate, the house was new construction and not a single thing had been planted. I'm changing that.
So i found these, but made my own, to try n prop houseplants to go from normal houseplants, to BOOOOOM, Big houseplants. Ive had mine on for weeks, its got THICK thick roots, and am ready to start the new plant but is their anything i should do to what USE TO BE the top of the other plant ?? Any info would be greatly appreciated
Fascinating! I have used this method also! I have used plain dishwashing liquid however, with no additives and it did not harm the plant. My mixture was Dishwashing liquid, Hydro peroxide 3 percent (on the label) and Neem oil. Plants are not quite as sensitive as people think to dishwashing liquid. Just a small amount in the water. Yes water is the main ingredient! This is 2024 and near the time to bring in plants. I have already brought a Dracaena in.
Ive done this the last few years in MN. But Ive taken the plants out of the pots and while they "soak" I clean the pots really well and then repot with some added soil. Also I have a bar of neem soap that I wet and use wet cotton balls to rub on the bar of soap and clean top and bottom of each leaf. I dont rinse the leaves off though, maybe that would be a good idea, the spray might dislodge anything hanging on. I haven't had bugs. Seeing as its been a year can you tell us if this method of leaving the plants in the pots worked?
Blueberry are weird. I had a bunch as center crop in a vineyard and i got a few here or there, not much. Then one year it was like a switch turned on and from that point forward there was just a ton of berries
I put layers of leaves, brown cardboard, green grass clippings, rotting branches, garden waste and leaf mold around my fig trees then top all of this with a few inches of sandy forest soil at the end of summer and add a thick layer of leaves. Insulating the roots is important both from cold and evaporation. Also add some rusty iron or iron nails in the soil and bone meal. Water young trees a lot too. --- If you only get occasional hard freezes you can cover the tree and use a portable power station inside a cooler (or plastic bag to protect it) to power 10 or more watts of full spectrum LED bulbs or an incandescent bulb underneath the covering and use the wireless sensor of a cheap indoor/outdoor temperature unit to monitor the tree. I`ve covered young trees with plastic barrels, buckets, plastic, tarps, blankets, leaves etc. I also insulated the barrels with another covering.
Oh my God! No,.... Potted olive trees are unlikely to produce fruit. In Europe it is mainly grown in Catalonia, Aragon and Andalusia (all in Spain). Arbequina trees are adaptable, although they develop better in alkaline soils; It thrives in long, hot, dry summers,and it is resistant to frost and pests. Arbequina Olive Trees can tolerate temperatures as low as -7ºC(20°F). In any case, to flower it needs winter temperatures below 10ºC(50ºF). In the US, they can be grown in the ground in horticultural growing zones 8 through 10, and in pots in zones 4 through 7. Arbequina Olive Trees self-pollinate... through the air (Therefore indoor is the WORSE for fruiting)! An Arbequina Olive Tree can begin to produce fruit two years after planting, although it can take up to four years before the fruits begin to appear. The tree blooms in early spring; while the olives begin to ripen in October. The fruit does not ripen simultaneously and has a medium resistance to detachment. Harvesting is easy as the trees are generally low to the ground and allow for easy hand picking and can be enjoyed at almost all stages of maturity, depending on whether you prefer ripe or green olives. For darker olives, wait until November to harvest. Although also sold as table olives, Arbequina olives have one of the highest concentrations of oil and are therefore primarily used for olive oil production. Oils made from Arbequina are generally buttery, fruity, and very mild in flavor, but they have relatively low stability and a short shelf life.
I finally bought some from Etsy and planted them last week. A little late this season but next year will be wonderful. Love your garden 💜 subbed!💜 happy growing 💜
We've learned with pawpaw suckers, to sever the runner from the parent plant, but leave them in the ground until the following year so they can produce their own roots better, then dig them up and transplant.
I love how excited you are in this video! It reminds me of my excitement the first time I successfully propped a plant and I kept feeling like "I AM A PLANT WIZARD!!!" Best of luck with all of your plants!!
Ditch Lilies. Thank you! I was trying to remember the names of these orange flowers that bloom every June in our yard. I'm terrible at mastering plant names. 🙄
Thank you for this video! It was great watching you do it b/c in several videos, the people make these super precise cuts that to me looks like it's a waste of time being *that* precise. Your video shows you really don't have to have the perfect cuts and scrape layers.
Spiderman to the rescue! That pipe should have been dry most of the time. I think your fix should work. I am surprised the mosquitos were able to find the standing water with the cap closed.
I think they were traveling down the downspouts to the water in the pipe. And of course, we haven't gotten but a sprinkle of rain since I did this, but the pipe remains dry!!
The bushes came back and are still producing. There are typically a few branches that shrivel each season, but I actually made Nanking cherry jam today from the cherries I harvested last week! Don't be afraid to copice these plants!
