Happy Gardening and remember, You reap what you sow! Tony
Thanks for this Tony. Would you still split them in autumn? I'm SW Wales and have a big grove of musa basjoo. I want to split 2 pups and a 7 foot one. Leaving 6. Just wondering when's best. Thanks
I planted sun chokes for the first time this year. I live in Oklahoma; planted them in April. Now, in late September, they are over 15 feet tall and they just flowered this week. I look forward to harvesting them.
What a beautiful (and huge) garden you have Tony. It must take a great deal of work to keep it going. Is it an allotment or is it at the back of the house?
I did the same, but I did it like this. I got over 450 pounds of potatoes and I planted all of it and then I just keep feeding it produce everything I can find and I’ll have it next year and the year after that anytime I ever want potatoes.🥔 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
Hello Tony, I see you are still going strong, One small tip I can give you is to put the beer, water and jam in a blender, it would save you a lot of stirring
My first super hot was a Carolina Reaper. I ate the whole thing and suffered for 24 hours, but I lived, so it didn’t stop me from eating them again, but I worked my way up the scale by getting used to Thai chilis and habaneros and working my way back to the reaper level.
I’ve recently started gardening, and your tips have been a lifesaver! My plants are looking healthier than ever. Thank you for sharing your expertise!"
Folks. it's not an either/or situation. Healthy soil biology feeds on micronutrients found in great rock dusts. One of the world's best rock dusts is mined near me by Boreal AgroMinerals. They have the documentation, even from the Ontario government to prove it works extremely well. Product name is Spanish River Carbonatite. I know the people, I know the product, I know it works. I think it's sad that you're misleading some people away from a bonafide product... but I also agree that not every rock dust is created equal, and you need to know the source and the chemical cmoposition. Some rock dusts may even contain toxic amounts of some minerals, so yes, buyer beware. Know what you're paying for. The absolute best source for information on rock dust is Steve Solomon's book, The Intelligent Gardener.
If you ever have more trouble with storms blowing the stalks of your potatoes so hard against the timber that they break over it, the next step would be to put a radius on the top edge of those timbers with a router. Then instead of a sharp 90 degree corner, they get a gentle radius. The next step after that would be multiple timbers supporting them. Or a better wind break so they're not exposed to the storm in the first place.
I harvested my first crop of 12 grocery russet potatoes, from a patio container and I’m using them to seed another batch so I’m letting their eyes grow a bit at the moment in an egg carton before cutting them up and re-planting Also I had two straggler plants from the last harvest that just now started growing -I almost threw them out when I harvested thinking they were rotten but saw they had a little fresh green on them and gave them a go and sure enough they bolted in a few days of re-planting These are hardy little plants 🌱 🪴 …great for beginners like me
Just wanted to say thanks fella. Since i mentioned the word POTATO all my kid is asking about is when she can start to grow some in our tiny garden so i used your code and bought some tubs Guess i know what i'm doing next year haha Thanks for the content keep it coming :)
Nice Potatoes out of a Box will do same if get any large boxes, have just got my pink fir apple Potatoes out ,will dry them out before eating mayor a week or so,thought i better get them in as they say temperature is going to drop over here next week ,have had Strawberries, Tomatoes so easy to grow and 100 % better than Supermarket!!!! Chris
Your garden is amazing I'm really impressed by your fencing for the potatoes I'm definitely going to use that method next year. My beans just didn't grow I think down to the cold weather and hungry birds but at least something got a feed from them. My sweetcorn didn't grow more than about 14 inches and there was only one very small cob per plant. 😮
We have a volunteer grape and I couldn’t bear to sacrifice the first year we had grapes because I was so excited …but they were soooo tiny …they were cute and tasty but so tiny the birds ate them all
Ooops! I just harvested my first potatoes to use them as seed potatoes for my next try …so I just took them out of drawer to put them in an egg carton outside
What if you live in Florida? How would you store, theres not a "cool" place. I have the house that has air conditioning and could keep dark, but your comments sound as though that would be too warm, then especially during the times of needing the heat on in the house...? ....
Cumbria - rain. Endless rain. A lot of veg went into panic mode and bolted. I dont blame it - I feel like bolting myself to a place with lower rainfall.
I use 32 gallon trash cans/w lids, to store my finished compost. Whatever is left over from the current seasons use...I throw back into my 'active' compost tumblers. Some years, I have a full garbage can of 'finished' untouched/left over compost. I just wait until starting a new active pile the next season...and re-incorporate back into that tumbler. Works great for me! Thank you for your valuable input here! Cheers!🍺
