Omg, You said the neighbor stole her cherries….. Well my neighbor reacher OVER my fence and stole ALL my ripe sauce tomatoes… THEN had the nerve to tell my husband, “he didn’t want them to get to ripe and fall to the ground.” It too every ounce of my being not to go over there with a baseball bat. Never pick a gardeners produce without permission…..
I got a camera cos one of my neighbors kept wandering onto my property. Granted, in her case it was because she wanted to prove I was dirty cos she hates that I garden and thinks it attracts pests and rodents, but I still told her if these cameras ever catch you on my property again I will call the cops on you. The same would apply to anyone picking my harvest. That is tresspassing.
😂 I have had quite a few plant care misadventures over the years. But, my absolutely wildest experience was in finding two adorable succulents in a floral shop inside a grocery store. I gave one to a friend and kept one for myself. For months, I was so excited that my little succulent was still alive. After a time, I started thinking of upgrading the succulent's container. During the container inspection, I was undone. It was a very real-looking plastic plant in a foam board "substrate," which is why my misting and watering efforts appeared to be working! I couldn't do anything but laugh at myself.
As a child (3-4), I was told the old story of a baby being found in a cabbage patch. I came to the idea that much like seeds when you put people in the ground that a cabbage with a baby in it would grow and that cemeteries were people farms where moms and dads would go to pick out new babies. My family discovered this during my great grandmother's funeral when I asked how long the cabbage took to grow. 😂
I'd go up to my neighbor all upset and say you'd never guess what happened! Some hooligan stole all my cherries right off my tree. My kids haven't stopped crying and I don't know if I'll ever feel safe again. I'm asking everybody if they saw anything. We're gonna file a police report. It's theft and trespassing. See if you have cherries next year lol
THIS is the perfect solution! LOVE IT!! Maybe even add that you, or the police, are going to check all the local door cameras - just to watch the person squirm a little!! 😆
When I was moving, someone stole my whole dragon fruit plant that I had been working on for 4 years! The hardest part was people were down playing it. It's just a plant, you can get another. The cops didn't take it seriously and you just can't replace something that took you 4 years to do. I even grafted it myself so it would fruit. Grew them from seeds.
13:12 - when I was about 16, my parents left me home alone, and I decided I'd cook for myself. I decided I'd make pasta, and found a recipe for the sauce. Problem: I didn't know what a "clove" of garlic was. The recipe called for 2 cloves, so I used two jars of minced garlic (280 cloves, all told). It was delicious.
Ohhhh my goodness y’all read my comment I thought I was hallucinating when you said my channel name 😂😂😂😂😂❤ and yes a psychological reset, mixed with revenge is why I needed to burn it all. The plants looked normal until I lifted the vine and omg it was horrific an entire ecosystem of pests. I ran in the house and said ‘I need you to build a fire” 😂😂😂😂 and the garden was pulled up and set ablaze. Thanks for reading my comment, it made my entire day. 19:25
omg this is a likely scenario for ma Gardening Activities .. 🤭 I always end up with some bug infestations and all kinds of strange things happening .. 👀 too funny though 🤣
@@theheardhomestead ohh noo did You had to make a fya again ? 🔥👀🤭 I had to get rid of all my indoors plant growing experiments cause of a massive gnat infestation, and now that problem is solved but plants got some leaves sickness. 😬 I did manage to grow a beautiful lush green plant outside in da pot. 😎 I saw my neighbour also grows the same plant in his garden so I proudly asked "have You seen mine" ? 👀 He informed me it's a invasive weed he been trying to get rid of for ages. 😶
@dMi_mi for the fungus gnats use the brand mosquito bits its pellets you can soak in water, then use that water on the soil. It kills larva of gnats. Then put a yellow sticky trap above the soil to trap the adults. That will stop their life cycle. As for the invasive plant 🤣🤞🏽 good luck!
I have raised Caledulas every year for over 19 years. I found a new color variety for me last season and saved the seeds from them. Put them in a container away from the rest of my garden to see if they came up true. Had deer come in and eat them all overnight, even before any flowers came. *argh
My sister moved and asked me to take care of her plant until she had room. The sticker said it was a palm but all I did was water it so I never actually looked into it. Eventually it shot up and I looked it up so I could repot it correctly. Turned out it was a Rose of Sharon. I could have just put it in the yard or garden but I've been babying it for over a year thinking it was tropical or something 😂
Couple of yeqrs ago, my first year in my allotment I was delighted to find a a small established cherry (my favourite fruit) tree. Bought a special netting to keep the birds and feared fruit fly out. The fruits started to look so tasty and juicy. Since I was in a rush I promised myself a very special cherry harvest celebration the following day. Early next day I came in the garden and guess what... yes, somebody came and harvested all and every cherry and put the netting back. I was dumbfounded and stood probably a while there starring at the cherry tree. I could not believe my eyes. People can be so cruel and thoughtless. Just hope it was someone really poor and could not afford.to buy cherries.
I would report the cherry thief. He had no right to do that, his opinions be damned. I would suggest that the wronged neighbor builds a fence and plants briars or nettles as a privacy plant. Screw that guy.
When I was in the 3rd grade when I learned rice grew from a plant. I just assumed the same was true for pasta. In 7th grade science class the teacher went through the class one by one asking our favorite tree. I couldn’t wait for my turn bc I didn’t want anyone to answer Spaghetti Tree before me. Lucky for me no one did. To this day old friends ask “How’s ur Spaghetti Tree doing?”😢
Cabbage moths decimate any brassicas that plant, but I did find putting borage and garlic near by nearly eliminated the pest. I got to see first hand this year how well companion planting can work. Not to figure out what to pair with strawberries or tomatoes so with slugs (I know egg shell is great) and ants aren't interested.
My worst gardening fail: I am 12 years old, andi live in Paris and 3 years ago i got chili peppers seeds so i can hybridise them (red yellow and brown carolina reapers, KS lemon starrburst and choco ghost jami) and the yellow reaper didn’t sprouted. I put all 5 plants in a 8x19x7 inches. Then, mold grew on the soil, and i killed it with citric acid. It worked, but some of the acid went on the beast pepper and killed it. Then, the other one where about to bloom, i was so exited until aphids made the flowers died. The next year, the peppers started to bloom again, and i putted them indoors because it was winter. The flowers didn’t made any pollen and i only got a single pepper.
When I was a kid, my grandfather used a live tree as a Christmas tree. It came in a coal bucket ( probably about 10 gallons ) and after Christmas, you could plant it in the yard. We had a wall of about 10 of them 1 yr apart growing in our yard. As an adult, I'm surprised this isn't a thing. I guess it is a lot more expensive for them, those steel barrels couldn't have been cheap
We did this as country kids! The forest service gave out tiny saplings. We'd put four or five in a huge pot. As they grew, we'd keep the best looking and plant the rest in the field. At four or five years old, they'd come inside for a month. Usually the trees were still small and sparse, but knowing that it was still alive meant a lot. Afterward we'd give it a forever home somewhere in the back field.
I planted a packet of wildflowers. Just at the point all the newly sprouted seeds were growing, my neighbor comes along and sweeps all the leaves and garden debris into a pile on top of my seedlings. It killed most of them, but I keep watering the area thinking more should keep sprouting. I had just pulled out a volunteer green amaranth that was fully developed not realizing that it had gotten tangled in my water hose spreading it's seeds in my wildflower patch. I continue watering thinking a whole bunch of wild flowers are growing. A few weeks later when the first flower should start growing, I notice it looks like an amaranth. I pull it up and notice the purple on the bottom of the stalk and realize none of my wildflowers grew. It was a bed full of amaranth that I will never be able to get rid of. I planted corn for the first time. Thinking I'm going to save some space, I just planted a single row of corn along the wall of the house. I didn't know the pollen needs to fall onto each one of the silks to make all the corn be fully developed. I got 6 partially developed corn that I just kept for seed. I did end up with half a sandwich bag of seed, but no corn to eat. I will plant them in a 4x4 grid style next year closer together and make sure they all get pollinated correctly. My friend did the same thing and only planted 1 row of corn. He also got partially developed corn. He did not keep his for seed. He gave it to the squirrel that lives under his shed.
My most recent gardening fail was earlier this spring. Where I live we have a massive problem with slugs and snails, its the south of england so its wet and warm in the spring which is ideal for them to breed like crazy. I learned that if you pluck slugs and snails up in the evening and chuck them into a bucket of 50/50 water and vinegar solution, they die right away and you don't need to use any slug bait or poisons. Well I did that, I got every slug and snail big or small I could find, looked under pots and behind benches, it was a slug genocide. Once I was done it was pretty dark out so I decided I would empty out the slug bucket in the morning. Well it stormed the following day so I put it off for the next, and then promptly forgot about the slug bucket. Once the weather cleared up a week or so later I happily went out to do some spring gardening and discovered the most putrid rotting bucket of pickled slug slime, the vinegar had disolved all the shells and it was just a black syrup that smelled of putrid rot. It was so bad I cried and my partner had to go deal with it because he has basically no sense of smell. Ive since changed over to an organic iron/ferrous based slug pellet haha
Oh, my! I feel for you, I'd have cried, too. But I can't help but laugh imaging your accidentally acquired reputation in the snail kingdom would be that of basically Vlad the Impaler or something. A soulless giant monster who dissolves all enemies right down to their --bones-- shells.
Epic Garden; yes cattle even a very pregnant cow can jump a 41/2 to 5 foot fence rather easily. But if all dietary needs are met they won't ever try. I grew up on a small cattle farm. I've seen it and it's funny to watch but not as funny to herd them back to the field they came from. 😊
I mean...neighbor's ON VIDEO doing it. I'd hate to call the cops on anyone, but what do you do with someone who thinks they have the right to go on your property and steal your stuff?
They got psycho neighbors. I get that if you have to continue living next to these people you might not want to declare war but what the hell ? There's no tolerating that kind of behavior. Those criminals !
You could go ahead and call the police. Have the coppers come out, neighbor w the camera walks put and says, "Hey, I've got video footage." The cops watch the footage. Then they have "the stealing talk" w with culprit. Just go thru the whole 9 yards! But then, after you "find out" who the thief is, you still can say you don't want to press charges. This makes you look like the good guy. And the thieving neighbor gets put thru their paces, and hopefully is embarassed - AS THEY SHOULD BE!!! That neighbor NEEDS TO KNOW they crossed the line & WILL BE CALLED OUT!!
Very entertaining, thanks! Oh, the cherries, my gawd, I couldn't hold myself back. I planted, just this fall, 12 little pots of celery seeds, thinking they are tiny and won't grow well, because it's really dry here. Well it all grew and I have divided and divided, and now have about 20 bunches of celery growing. And it's all going to ripen at the same time. Sometimes you just don't know til you try.
I can relate to those 10 bunches of celery. I had a culinary fail when I was a teenager learning how to cook. The recipe called for one clove of garlic, and I didn't know what a clove was, so I put in a head of garlic! I thought it was delicious, but my family didn't care for it.
I got a say .. depends what type of garlic is used .. 👀 Growing up 1 clove of garlic ment 1 clove of garlic. 🤭 It was eeextra strong, even when just rubbed on da toast, d toast did become fiery spicy. 🔥 And then I moved to UK. Now "1 clove of garlic" means add at least 1 garlic head. 😶 I hear the same thing from other European expats livin over here ( Baltic, Polish, Hungarian e.c. ) .. that suddenly they need bags and bags of garlic heads to make their national dishes meanwhile families back home think we have lost our marbles. 🤣
lol, I needed this. I was just on the phone with my mom today, and the words, "yeah, I've killed so many 'easy to grow plants' it would blow your mind" were spoken 😂. Y'all along with David the Good, a few books and some lasagna mulching (compliments of getchipdrop) have turned me into something useful over the last year. 2020 to 2023 was just big trash panda mountain for me. Mulching on top of plastic weed barrier confused as to why things are drying out... planting corn in the shade in the dead heat of summer. Planting carrots and greens in June in Florida... yeah. Reading is fundamental... and RU-vid channels add walkthroughs. Thanks guys!
Literally just added 2 raised beds (Birdies beds from Epic Gardening) to my front yard to grow vegs in today! I specifically bought a house in a neighborhood with no HOA on purpose for this reason.
I was so looking forward to all the sweet taters that I was gonna be digging … I dug the whole bed up and only got 2 sweet taters .. there were tunnels all under the vines … with a little research , I found out that voles ate my sweet taters… I’ve never had voles before
The cherry story is one of the reasons I insisted I will never live in a neighborhood with an HOA, because, yes, there are places that ban any kind of foodscaping.
My bylaws dont specifically prohibit foodscaping, but I have gotten four yard maintenance notices this year. The most visible are everbearing strawberries as ground cover under a tree by the sidewalk. Its the management company being uppity; the local hoa president owns said tree and is like-minded. All six of our combined kids can be found hunting snacks in the shade all summer. (I garden there with permission)
In Bavaria it's quite common to have a 'christmas tree' in your yard. It looks so gorgeous when they have lights on it and the snow falls on it. Glowing trees everywhere at night. I wish I could grow one here, but first, I'm in Texas, second, we hardly ever have snow.
And - In most of Texas, we only have ice storms & Junipers (aka Cedar Trees) for conifer trees! But yeah, it would only be good if there were more snow, ice is sparkly, but NOT the same...
I was waiting this year for my plums to be perfectly ripe before I pick them and I guess I waited too long because a wind storm knocked them out of the tree and I saw a pack of deer devouring them the next morning. This plum (that my great grandfather planted from seed) only produces every 2 years because of where it is planted (and maybe age at this point) and I was so sad for days after
I’ve had that happen with peaches and badly timed wind storms, too. Fruiting every two years is called ‘biannual bearing’, and has nothing to do with where it is growing. You may be able to get it producing every year if you thin the fruit drastically in the heavy years, so the plant doesn’t exhaust itself and take the next year off. Some varieties are more prone to this habit than others. There are also certain pruning methods that are sometimes used to discourage biannual bearing. That’s awesome that you have a family heirloom fruit tree. ☺️
@@lornabaker4039 thank you for the reply Lorna. I was thinking this could be the case as the trees (plum, cherry, pear) were left to go wild before I moved here and now that I pruned the dead lowers and give the occasional water they seem much healthier this year. I will try this as it seems like that is the fix for it.
This year, it was the second year my nectarine tree had fruit, my neighbor asked for some nectarines and I said they weren’t ripe. Then that evening, she went to my front yard(that’s where my nectarine tree is) and picked a few of them without permission. Then she later told me they were inedible and threw them away.
I was excited to grow jalapeños for the men in the house. My son immediately hiccuped after taking a bite & only 1 barely got tasted. A small dish of peppers 🌶️ sat on the counter for too long & then fridge, where they have died. Never again! (And my small orange peppers only grew about 3 small edible peppers). Long spring. Threw everything off. Not enough hot sunny days.
I completely understand the person who said they didn’t do a garden this year. It was just too much for me this year too. I did get some onions and garlic in the ground a couple weeks ago though. Really excited to hopefully see some asparagus next year! It’s been a few years since throwing some seeds in the ground.
We bought our house specifically due to a gorgeous apple tree in the back yard. Every year between the bugs and blue jays we never got a single apple ripe enough to eat. This year i stayed on top of the tree and it was loaded with apple days away from harvest. One night we had storms moving in so i went out to put chickens in. The front hit with 80 mph winds. I turned around and the tree was flat on the ground.
I’d like to see a video in the winter of your last year successes and what you will do again--and ask viewers to chime in. Love the ‘fail’ video in the fall
Sooooooo good ! You know, as a botanical gardener working in a french botanical garden, even us can be wrong sometimes because : there is always a frist time try ! So, fell once but get up twice !!
Here's mine- My daughter brought me a 4' fig tree in a plastic bag that she "found" in a hedge at college. I planted it! It became a monster fig tree with terrible dry, husks of figs...found out this is the toss of the ring when you try to grow a Wild Fig. Learned to graft and now I have a very productive fig tree with 5 different tasty, prolific figs on it. I just have to keep very close watch on the new growth and cut out the wild fig each spring. Grafting figs is pretty easy!
My youngest is a garden fairy! She can grow anything. We had a neighbor who used to come over and rip her plants out. When I asked him why he said my ex had given him permission to weed the yard. No longer my neighbor and my ex is an ex for a reason.
My parent managed to replant a christmas tree! About 4 years ago they took the top half and buried it, it was standing at about 1.5m high then, about 2 now. I think it helps that Pines are native here in Scotland and all over the place, it liked the conditions
09:45 reminds me of my dad that swapped my cannabis plant with a tomato plant and let me water and care for it and everyday he said, nice tomato tree... thought he was joking... 😅😅😅
This reminds me of the time at a county jail, someone mentioned that those were nice looking tomato plants. The looked at them and saw that they were cannabis plants. The cops have been walking right by them for a few months and never noticed.
Cows are incredibly athletic animals, we have ranched for generations I've seen a cow go over a 6 ft fence. If they can get their front legs over they will make it all the way. We were once moving cows from one pasture to another and one yearling jumped into a pond and swam UNDERWATER from one side to the other because he didn't want to leave the old pasture.
i have a couple weeds ive been taking care of lmao whatever i originally planted in those pots didnt survive but the weeds did, so, eh, whatever, ill keep watering them
i had a similar experience to tomato granny. planted 50-60 seeds. all of them sprouted, didnt have the heart to kill them. now i have a freezer full of tomato sauce. :D
I warn my customers to think about the opening of Prince of Egypt when they’re making bricks. The first two ingredients are “MUD and SAND”. Don’t mix clay and sand!!
That's a good reminder-trick! All they have to do is sing a few lines whenever they are contemplating how to fix their sand or clay problem -- and then they'll hopefully remember what *not* to do!
While I fortunately do not have gardening-related quarrel with my neighbors, I do unfortunately have quarrel with squirrels. They keep making off with my eggplants.
I live in Cyprus and every winter we trim up a tree and decorate it with lights so it looks like a Christmas tree. I wish I could share photos on here, as it really looks lovely!
I grew corn for the first time this past summer. Didn't get much but it was a learning experience. Anyways, one of the corns was LOADED with those aphids and I was worried about them spreading. I tried soapy water, regular water to spray them off, nothing was working. Then I said screw it and put garlic powder all over them. They all ended up dying and no bugs went near the corn anymore lol
@@britanica7539 no no, that is a good thing that you did. A lot of pests again, don't like garlic so..... yeah that wasn't a bad idea. That's something to remember for the future with garden pest remedies.
Bought some cheap citrus trees from Costco this year to turn into bonsai projects... gnarliest white fly and other pest infestation ever. As soon as I put the tree outside, I watched one fly off the Costco tree and onto one of my prized rare fruit trees. All of my plants have white fly and I've been battling them for months. NEVER buy plants from Costco! It's not worth the savings.
We've had a discarded Christmas tree propegate in an unburned wood pile. I think that only happens when you're not looking and sure it's dead. Good look replicating that on purpose.
I’ve had delivery drivers steal fruit from the trees in the front yard. Literally eating my fruit as they deliver take-out / packages, then they get all offended when I tell them to ask before stealing stuff in the future. 😡
I planted some banana plants next to my neighbor’s horse pasture. The horses ate those banana babies right up, and then pushed through the hog wire fencing to come eat the banana plants about 10 yards from there.
This year I decided to start small & planted about 6 Yukon Gold potatoes. I had followed all the steps & felt confident. While they grew, I had been researching too many other details on plants. One day, I noticed yellow dying stalks. A little annoyed, I told my husband that he killed off some of my potato plants from not watering. Soon after, I cut the yellow & some ugly looking stalks off & then remembered I was to leave the yellow stalks, then harvest. 😂 That huge pot still sits in my backyard. My kids weren’t interested & I’m afraid to look. I’ll report back!
During drought and for nutrients, farmers used milk to water their crops.. I also used milk to water my green medicinal "crops" and they did great! Seriously, do research on giving your plants milk..!!
previous owner fail: the people who owned my dads house in the past decided itd be a great idea to plant a big ol grapevine in the bottom righthand corner of the garden (granted, the grapevine trellis they built Is pretty cool). now, not only do we have to battle the grape vines all along the perimeter of the backyard, and have to salvage the few trees left in the backyard from the vines, And all of the backyards connected to our backyard have their own grapevine woes to deal with... the park down the road now has a grapevine infesting its way down the fenceline!
22:58 Ah yes. Ye olde Fetid Swamp Water. Honestly, it turns out to be the only positive use for bermuda grass clippings (that I've found so far). When I'm done soaking the yard waste (for a very, very long time... can't be too careful with bermuda grass) it goes into the compost. Using a mesh brew bag helps keep the clippings separate from the tea.
MOST of my backyard is no longer grass... but CLOVER. I have a 25 gallon grow bag that rabbits ALWAYS dig in and have their babies. Not any other 25 gal. bag of the 12 or so, but always that one. I've had carrot, potato, and beets in their, and NO bunnies munching. They LOVE my clover.
My first year, I started watermelon seeds outside in 36 cell tray in woody/chunky compost. Nothing sprouted! Until... 2 weeks later one plant came up. I grew it to maturity. It was a amaranth weed.
Frozen flowers/fruits is the WEATHER, not the tree's fault. Some years are like that. In Florida, they put smoker pots under fruit trees to prevent freezing and losing fruit.
I almost mad a big mistake I planted raspberries in a pot, and I did not know they can do this, but after like three years in the being in that pot, they rooted out of the pot into the ground and start spreading throughout my yard luckily I found this and accidentally pulled it up. I saved myself a lot of work.
We had a woman “from another country come up to our tree in the front yard with a bag! She wanted our lemons! She was not the first, we came back from a trip to find the tree (and all fallen fruit) completely gone! Seriously! After that we had to “stand guard! Ugh! She would just go from house to house with her bag like she was on a shopping spree spree! Ugh! Now I only plant in the back!
The birds get mine more often than not, but that's because I never get around to netting at the right time 😆 this year, they're loaded with cherries and I'm already working out when I'll have the opportunity to drive in the stakes to create a frame to net them more easily!
To everynody that keeps saying arrest the cherry thief, yes it's sad, but if its not the first harvest you actually are going to use, then it's not something to sue over. However, for the first harvest or two, a rare harvest that makes through a frost, or a bigger tree that gets partially or completely stripped, yes I'm with you on that. I'm normally a nice person, but if someone did that to me I would be out for blood a little bit. On the other hand..... guilt tripping them isn't a bad idea either so long as it's not really exaggerated.
I planted a garden in my front yard this year. I hesitated because of in case someone steals stuff. If I caught someone.. im with you guys. I would not respond very kindly. You ask. You do not take. Its litterly taking food out of someone else's mouth. I use all of what I grow in my gardens. I mean... I do have a few neighbors i have told they can take stuff. But they don't strip the plant bare. Its a small percentage. And its the one plant I grow more than I need. And most importantly... I told them it's ok. If I came out and they stripped it bare. Id never let them touch my garden again. Idk if you can do anything legal to this neighbor. Even if you could might be too much of a hassle. But still I would absolutely ensure they understood without question what they did was inexcusable and will not be tolerated. And they need to compensate me in some way. My fails this year. I didn't catch some of my pumpkins sets moved to my cucumber sets and out competed them. So I had lots of pumpkins 😂. Very little cucumbers. My other fail was watermelon. Grew 6 beautiful watermelon to perfect ripeness. I tried to make watermelon jelly and watermelon wine. I didn't notice i accidentally smashed in a few seeds. Made the liquid completely unpalatable. No amount of sugar was saving that. So I had to toss it. 😢 it litterly tasted like liquid watermelon seeds. 🤢🤮
I had ants on my cucumbers. It wasn't about the aphids - they were stripping the cucumbers of skin. The whole crop was ruined the whole season. I'll be dusting the soil next year!
I had apple trees and peonies in my front yard. I needed ants for the peonies but one year the ants climbed up the apple tree and ate all the apples before I could harvest them
My first spring growing seedlings… i utilized one of those cheap greenhouses from harbor freight.. a good spring storm came up, which brought winds! Knocked my greenhouse over and all the seedlings lost their markers haha and some of them were super hot peppers lmfao it was a good year 😂
We have an intentional pet rabbit colony which is adjacent to the chicken coop. Occasionally the one (Peter) sneak into the coop when im doing things with my hens and then i have to kick him out. He's always so cute and disgruntled. And yes, i have entire garden bed dedicated to rabbit greens, but their poop is gold so I'm happy with the sacrifice.
Oh Wow! FLAMES if someone stole my food I grew!! We lived in town briefly and had a person helping themselves to our cherries. If they had asked-different story. I can kick rabbits😂 Our 5 yo nephew sent cheerios in the mail and asked if we would grow them😅they were crushed of course😅 but my husband glued some cheerios on a stick and sent a pic to him😂. It was cute. 😂😂Yes, our roosters Loved the Tabasco peppers! Every time we let them in the garden they raced over to Taco Bell😂😂 Too funny, I planted only 2 escalator zuchini this year and both died and yet the peppers went into overtime and I’m the one chucking peppers at everyone we know😂.
My uncle told my kids he had a jelly bean tree in the back yard. Every time we visited he would harvest some for them. They never saw him get them from his pocket. Fond memories.
I always LOVE these videos, but this is by far my favorite so far! 😍🤣 Looking forward to your upcoming video on ants and aphids, because this is something that I also just learned this past year. Who knew how symbiotic their relationship was?! It's crazy, and not in a good way! At least not for us gardeners. Once again just proving that nature is quite often so much smarter than us! 😄
Kevin actually did one a few months ago. It had these cute animated ants. It was funny but educational. I’m surprised he didn’t remember. You can find it on his channel
I love these videos. I laughed so hard I cried 😂That was my apple tree near the end. Thanks for the advice. I actually ruined it. It was a dwarf and I planted the graphed part below the soil. I didn’t know. I was trying to keep it small in a container and it was stressed out. So I put a round Birdie bed around it and it grew really tall. I prune it. It gets flowers as it starts warming up in Chicago and then we get a freeze out of nowhere and huge winds. Twice now I had one apple. The squirrel got the first and this year there was a tiny one and it was bored through by something and rotted inside. I do want to pull it out because it’s taking up space in my small backyard. I have a hard time killing things though. I would actually like to have dwarf fruit trees and keep them dwarf. Hopefully next year. Thank guys. Funny video 😊
I bought my house last year, in spring I put together 3 cheap raised beds, then I made the big mistake. I cheaped out on the dirt I used to fill my 3 4'x8' raised beds. It ended up basically being top soil with no nutrition and very compact. I did get a little produce this year, but now I have to spend several hundred MORE dollars to fix my mistake and make some actual useable soil for next year. Lesson learned, never cheap out on dirt when it comes to gardening. Either make your own or buy the good stuff. A "buy once, cry once" type situation is better than spending a few hundred for stuff you can't use, then spending several hundred more to fix it. Should have just done it right the first time.
I spent litterally all summer at war with the slugs, trying to establish some courgettes, cucumbers and squashes. I was so I sensed that I missed out on plahanting other stuff. In the end I got one decent cucumber (of probably 30 in the end) and it's fruit were bitter dues to either poor soil and / or constantly producing the chemical that deters pests (this can seep into the fruit at high levels making them bitter)
