Pigs will love the squash, don't let them go to waste, even the cows might like them. Here in Florida the cows get loads of green tomatoes from the packing company. The cows just stand over a load of green tomatoes and chomp down.
If you want to get rid of some squash blossoms without wasting them, make some fried. Just dredge them through flour (salt & pepper), fry in butter. Since it takes quite a few to make enough, you can easily use a couple dozen at a time.. 😉👍
End of the season,,,…,, rotate the chickens to pick and stir up the garden. Lay some spent or moldy hay over the whole space. Lay those tarps down to prevent weeds next year…and they’ll help warm up the ground for an earlier start. Plant everything in a different area next year.
Mini greenhouses in a full size greenhouse can extend your growing season even more, row covers like remay, walls of water, a milk or water jug by the plant,... are other season extenders. Extending can jump-srart the season or drag it longer at the end. If you have radiant floor heat, seeds love to sprout that way.
Unlike you I remember pulling carrots out of the garden and eaten them right off the out of the garden but one year there I kept eating stuff out of the garden my garden and I kept getting sick and when I finally figured it out I was getting like E coli like one time I was sick for three weeks and I found out that if you use poop in your garden for fertilizer you can get E coli if you don't rinse off your vegetables But my mom never used poop in her garden she used seaweed
We have some like that, they work quite well. We’ve also used old stock tanks and a piece of plexiglass this spring to make a cheap green house for starting greens. Really liked how that worked out!
The beans might be struggling with the heat. They might benefit from some shade next time you plant them. They make shade cloths you can put over a raised bed.
It's 118F here again it's been staying around 115 to 118 for the last two weeks the high was 122 it's hard to keep anything alive. Keep growing you'll learn what works and what doesn't My first 2 yrs was not real good but now I grow thousands of plant
You should plant a bunch of potatoes in where the nothing grew I bet you potatoes would go crazy in there I've only planted potatoes one year out of four and I always get potatoes every year because you always end up leaving little tiny ones in the garden and I don't put potatoes in my raised beds I just put them in the ground and mine are growing and actually just a little bit of dirt and gravel and they grow like crazy
The best looking garden bed that I built was that interlocking tin just cut the 10 part way on two feet so you just bend them together to make an L scrum together two pieces and then in the middle I just put a couple two by fours and screwed into the two by fours it's a nice looking bad nice red tin looking bed and the kin was free the other garden bed I made out of pallets and inlined it with tin that's a 30 footer and the last bed I made was just a straight normal tin not as nice but it does the job
Hey if the sprinklers start leaking bad look up where the water hose hooks on there is a huge Allen wrench fitting that will tighten up and stop the leak.
If you have a dehydrator, there’s a really good recipe for zucchini chips. A 1/2 gallon jar would hold at least 12-15 and I’ve used the spice recipe on squash as well
Great stuff chuck and whistle Briches im an apsolute novis on the green thumb as well but chickens are my calling but i still have much more to learn great video i love it god bless🙏🙏👍
If you are not a gardener, I wouldn't attempt carrots. They are so hard to get going from seed. Once they get going they are ok though. Maybe try something a bit hardier.
Lay down some heavy duty weed fabric underneath those raised beds before you fill them. I bought some from Vevor. Living Traditions Homesteadhas some pretty decent videos on raisedbeds and ground cover.
@@Marilou-g5t, in the short term yes, long term no. I prefer to not have grass or weeds make their way up through from the bottom of my bed. We have crab grass in my neck of the woods.
Brown thumb huh?? Y'all need a new brand of TP!! 😂 The garden compost issue may be herbicide issues. I remember from a previous episode that the 1 source you used for compost seemed a bit shady. Without more info I would bet you got an herbicide issue in your compost, probably a selective herbicide like 2,4-D in a lawn treatment product like a weed & feed. Any grass that was treated with an herbicide that went into the compost will be toxic. You can send the compost out to be tested. Remediate by placing hardwood chips onto the garden and inoculating with a mushroom spawn and discarding the mushrooms .Best wishes!
