This actually works, i tried, the nutrients from the ripe bell pepper helps it grow faster, once the saplings come out, you need to plant them in a different pot. I tried planting the seeds separately and also tried directly planting the bell pepper hack, the plants from the direct seeds are just 3 inches long while the bell pepper hack ones are 2 feet long and already bearing multiple fruits. Try it if you don't believe it, i experimented and i have actual results.

Here’s a little anecdote about this: my first year as a gardener, I cut open a store bought butternut squash to find that most of the seeds inside had germinated. I planted them in my garden and they flourished. But they were all different. Some were bush types and some were vines, and the fruit was different, too. That’s when I learned that grocery store produce is mostly the result of hybrids that will not breed true when you plant their seeds. This is done mostly to produce plants that yield hardy fruit that will survive shipping and storage and look appealing in the store. So after that I was a lot more selective. I find more unusual produce tends to breed true. Because of its niche appeal, there isn’t any reason to bother with creating the perfect hybrid (which has to be produced every season from the varieties it’s crossed from). It’s always worth experimenting, though. I’ve saved pepper seeds I found on the kitchen floor without knowing what they came from.

Yes, it totally works! Instead of throwing my food scraps in the compost, for a short while I dug holes in the garden and buried the food scraps. As a result, I have potatoes growing in my garden where I didn’t plant potatoes! Also, we threw some spoiled tomatoes out on the ground last fall. This year I have wild tomatoes growing everywhere! I didn’t yank them out because I have three rows in my garden that the rabbits ate; the pepper plants and green bean plants. So I allowed my wild tomatoes to just grow wild. I used heirloom seeds, so they will produce tomatoes. They are already loaded with blossoms and green tomatoes.

I looked up some info on the growers website and found out they are definitely not GMO tomatoes and this is what the commercial grower said; "The seeds we grow from are first-generation (F1) varieties. This means that seeds dried and grown from our products will be second-generation (F2) seeds. Fruit from F2 plants will not necessarily look the same and will definitely not have consistent flavor." That said, I still got lots of tomato plants that are fruiting well and that's what I needed at the time everything happened with the food chain. With State politicians like a certain one from MI, saying seeds were "not essential" (Really?)...I decided to give it a try and hope for the best in case things got bad. It worked! Yay! I got edible tomatoes! :) Happy Gardening! :)

Glad you've since learned. Sadly, there's a lot of people (particularly kids) stumbling across these content farm channels like Blossom and falling into the same pitfalls. The worst part is that some of the 'hacks' shown on content farms are legitimately dangerous. There's one I saw where they suggested making a wall charger for your phone by *casting the entire thing out of metal.* Can anyone say 'electrocution'? Certainly not the poor sap who tries it in an old house, that's for sure. By the way, if you ever come across a video from a content farm that promotes something legitimately dangerous (like the solid metal wall charger block or the 'drip hot liquid candy onto a spinning drill bit' ones), be sure to report them. videos promoting dangerous acts go against RU-vid's ToS.

I just wanted to make a quick correction! Flower propagation is often achieved through using flowerless stem cuttings and placing them in nutrient rich soil. Carnation cuttings need to have their bottom leaves, flowers and buds removed(to focus on root development instead of blooming), maybe use a root stimulator, and then plant them in a compost rich soil under a cloche or in a green house, it works and is a very easy and successful way to propagate flower babies! 😁👍

If you go to a big box store like Home Depot, Walmart, or Lowe's, you often find little cacti/succulent plants that have a 2-3 inch long vertical stem with a weird yellow or red spiky ball thing on top. That ball part is actually grafted onto a dragonfruit cutting! If you cut off the ball portion, the dragonfruit cutting will actually continue to grow. Best part is, these succulents are usually about $4-5, much cheaper than you'll find a dragonfruit cutting for.

I do this too! The first time I did it was with a cutting from a romaine lettuce from a discount grocery store. I harvested the seeds (& leaves while it was growing out) and replanted them in a large pot in the fall. That tub exploded with romaine lettuce and we started giving them away. I repeated the process and there were twice as many the following spring.

R Y they’re similar to like Milkweed, so the seeds come out in tufts after it flowers. Try to harvest them quickly bc they will blow away on the breeze. But once you have all those seeds you can either grow them regularly or you can grow them like micro greens by over seeding.

Last year I saved seed from bell peppers, squash, okra, and herbs. Wash squash seed, lay on a paper towel to dry. Once dry store in an envelope. Label the envelope with seed variety. Bell pepper and okra you can skip washing then do the same. Okra can be allowed to dry in the pod then break pod when ready to plant. Herbs and lettuce make seed. Allow seed to mature on the plant then save. I have grown basil, dill, and cilantro from seed I saved. I am saving romaine seed from lettuce I grew from a core. I have enough seed from it to last a year with fall and spring planting. Peas and beans can be allowed to dry in the pod. I planted purple hull peas from 2 years ago and they are looking great. I experiment a lot.

I'm not a Master Gardener, but my wife is. One piece of info I've picked up that you don't mention when it comes to planting seeds you take from mature fruits (or just shoving part of the whole plant in the ground): unless you make sure it's an heirloom variety, you're not going to get another of what you plant. So the pepper they just shoved in the ground, sure some peppers are going to grow out of there, but you're probably not going to want to eat them. So this applies to pretty much everything you might buy at the supermarket; they are almost all hybrids whose seeds will NOT produce the same variety as the mature plant they came from.

I grew a huge gardenia bush from a cut flower someone gave me. The flower died off but the leaves were still green. I had it in a cup with water, and the way it was situated, the water didn’t evaporate. Roots eventually filled the cup and I planted it in another container with soil. I literally left this plant alone in a container for years and let the elements take care of it. It had 20 blooms on it last year! I gave it to my parents when they moved to their new home and they planted it on their property. It’s still going strong. I already had tons of gardenias lining my property so I figured it would make a nice gift.

@alexandraprytkova387 4 года назад
I don't know if it would work with a carnation, but I know many plants for which it would work. You do need to do it with a flower that hasn't wilted yet. You take the cuting of the flower, cut off the flower at the top, cut a couple of cm on the bottom, dip it in a root-growth stimulator, and either put it in water (so you can visually see when it starts giving roots, which is better) or straight into soil. I have done it with phlox flowers in the past. Then again, don't let it bloom for the first season, it needs to grow and become strong first. Flowers tend to bloom when they are on the verge of death, so just cut the flower buds if they appear when the plant is still "young" and let it grow some more. It's a good way to get a specific variety of flower you like, if you don't know it's name. I have planted phlox a woman gave me as a gift, because of how pretty they were. Now I have them in my garden. They have grown big enough that I could separate the plant into 3 plants.

Be sure to let mama know that if she takes 'em away, you'll just make more (and the more she takes 'em away, the better you'll get at remaking 'em). Since it costs nothin', there's nothin' to stop you from doing it shy of her locking you indoors forever- at which point, I'm sure a local government entity would take interest.

But you can look up different recipes to try depending on your situation since everyone's garden is different!

to add to everyone else's suggestions, if it's possible you can spray your plants with water either using a hose or a detachable shower head. spider mites don't like wet humid environments, not to mention it'll blast off their webs and eggs. you'll have to do it multiple times a day but i've done it for a few of my plants with great success! for aphids i'd go with safers insecticidal soap or alternatively you can make your own by mixing dish soap (don't use a degreasing one!) with water. i like to add a bit of olive oil too. be sure to only spray the foliage that's affected!

I accidentally stumbled upon your videos and have to say, you have so many outstanding ideas. I'm in Thousand Oaks, and the climate here is perfect for gardens, BUT, it's also perfect for rodent explosions!! Every time I start to grow anything in containers, the squirrels and roof rats waste no time eating off the leaves, oh and rabbits as well. So I pretty much gave up on growing my own veggies and fruits. The hardest thing for me is to see all the beautiful, softball size pomegranates get bitten into every season. I've actually bartered them. I have a friend whom is Indian and she 's always asking to trade me pomegranates because they use them frequently in many of their dishes. So one year she noticed I was having to hang laundry outside to dry along my patio and said since I've given her tons of pomegranates each year, how about a trade for a dryer she had sitting in her garage collecting dust for pomegranates. Well couldn't pass that deal up. I also give my neighbors lemons and Tangelos. But only to give since my trees always seem to give so much fruit. Anyways, really enjoy watching your videos.

for regrowing stuff like green onions and leek, I love to use the kratky method. Take a plastic container with a lid, make a holes/a bunch of holes in the lid, depending on your container size, to hold the plants (they sell net pots for it but you can be imaginative, I have seen people use 2" cut sections of a pool noodle instead :P ), and put water with a nutrient solution in the container so that the water stops right at the bulb. As the roots grow, they will dangle in the nutrient solution, and they will grow, and grow, and grow, to eventually take most of the space in the container. You can refill the container with more nutrient solution, just leave a 1 inch gap between the bulb and the water when you refill, you want part of the roots to hang in the air (they actually need to breathe air, in soil, there is always some air, but if you submerge the bulb, the roots don't get any air. Also, the bulb should stay relatively dry (not soaked) or it can rot. This is the main problem with just putting them in a glass. Not enough room for the roots to grow, and the bulb will eventually rot. As it grow, just cut and use the top part.

Just wanted to add two things: 1. Avocado from seed, although technically possible to produce a tree, it works kind of like apples. There's an extremely low chance you will get a cultivar that actually tastes good. 2. Don't know about the specific flower shown on the video, but me and my family have been growing roses like that for years. If someone gives a bouquet or a neighbour discarded cuttings after pruning, cut the end, get them directly into a pot as soon as possible and water them. Most cuttings will be successful in producing the roses you want! :)
