I am passionate about GARDENING! How plants grow just fascinates me.
I will be sharing my gardening stories, my successes, and my learning experiences on this channel. Folks who are starting out new can learn from my mistakes and folks who have been doing this for a while, I welcome your wisdom.
I started gardening five years ago where I grew three tomato plants from store-bought seedlings. Those three plants luckily did very well and that initiated my gardening journey. Now I am growing a lot of summer and winter vegetables. I primarily grow vegetables for our kitchen and to share with friends & family.
I am located in the Gardening Zone is 6B with a growing season of 161 days.
Does anyone know if the kernels start out white? I can’t find any info on the growth stages of glass gem corn and couldn’t help myself and peaked at one of the ears I have growing and it looks white😕
Nice video and much enjoyed, thank you, but I must correct a couple of minor points. Those ‘teeny tiny’ things are not bulbils (bulbils look similar but they develop in the neck of the garlic and not around the bulb). What you describe as bulbils are actually corms. Also, the flowering stem is not produced from the flat part of the single ‘mono-clove’, the roots emerge from that part so that part must be planted downwards. The flowering stem actually emerges from the pointed part of the mono-cloves just as it does from all cloves.
Your bawang* flower head seems very fresh. Leave the plant in the ground until all of the fruits (seed head/fertilized flowers) have started to dry out and go papery. That's the better time to harvest for seed. Those are "corms" not "bulbils". Yes, there's a difference. That single, onion like bulb is a "round". Corm >> Round >> Head (with cloves). Treat the seeds as you would any other alium seed. *Bawang, Russina Galic, Kissing garlic, Elephant garlic, Giant garlic, Buffalo garlic
I have a tomato doing exactly this and I was baffled. Thanks for the quick informational video. Just wanted to let you know that a channel stole a portion of this video (1:36-2:20) and made it their own: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I5XE8UaWrec.html
Could you please provide the ratio of starter seeds to harvested seeds? This will determine if this is a worthwhile investment of my time. Thank you so much.
Very cool to know. We planted a bunch of glass gem this year from 3 ears we bought at the pumpkin stand last year. We have had an excellent crop with all sorts of different colors. I will experiment next year like you did and see what happens. Awesome video
Awesome video! Just wanted to add that im pretty sure that the pollen parent impacts the color of the individual kernal. It would be interesting to self pollenate one ear on some plants and cross them with another plant you had also self pollenated and see what the diferece in colors would be.
I did not see seeds . I saw you soak some white looking cream or white ginger roots and plant them in dirt or potting mixture. Is that black ginger? Paul's wife ♥ Katy in central Texas hill country 💙 USA 🇺🇸 ♥
I keep enjoying your videos, great content! However I was wondering how you use the ginger/garlic mix. And do you use the greens of your plants as well? Used the greens of my indoor ginger years ago in cooking and that was a fantastic taste. Compared to the Rhizome it tastes like wild garlic compared to garlic. Less intense but fresh.
