Cute video love the way you talk...you make things interesting!

@Latebloomershow 5 лет назад

Thank you! This was one of my first episodes of "Late Bloomer." My editor and sound editor were still trying out best methods for working remotely. I had to completely re-record this dialogue (lip sync), as the microphone I used made clothing noise when I talked. I remember going out of my mind. But, I was very proud of the completeness of the story. Thanks so much for watching! There are many more videos to enjoy. Did you watch the loofa one?

@quarteracreadventures855 8 лет назад

I find that the best slug repellant is diatomaceous earth sprinkled around the plants. It saved my strawberry patch! I really enjoy your videos.

@Latebloomershow 8 лет назад

+Sandra Noneofyourbusiness YesI I use that too, just have to reapply all the time....

Thank you, Lovely! Is that your real name, BTW? I have a neighbor who bought some plums from me and her young daughter is named Lovely. I remember doing this video so well, and dealing with microphone issues and having to completely dub the entire video. Maybe that's too much inside info, LOL. ❤

Thanks for the info on how to deal with aphids. Wow they are so prolific. I began by removing the damaged leaves, then tried brushing the critters off. Im going to try the soapy cotton bud idea, so thankyou very much for that.

Hi Kaye :) I did my first night raid and rounded up 8 slugs that were eating my Florida mustard greens! I caught another one this morning! This is my first garden and I am learning so much from you! Thank you for making the videos :)

@bluesfinger 11 лет назад

Thanks Kaye..your a doll... I have just planted my first cabbage this fall...I think its too late but...why not...the garden done well this year,and once the sweet corn was done...I bought two 6 packs of 1 red and 1 white ...but one plant is eaten up allready...I know what to do now. .I be on it like a yard dog tomorrow....I'll BBQ a turkey leg..and you bring that Chinese Slaw...I think that Cabbage is going to be just fine ...

@FensterfarmGreenhouse 10 лет назад

I am growing purple cabbage in my greenhouse. My family love it in their salad. Chuck

@FensterfarmGreenhouse 10 лет назад

I harvested that cabbage late last spring and canned a lot of it. The heads were a little disappointing but I had enough plants to make up for the size of each one. My soil on that piece of ground is really poor but I am amending it all of the time. The cabbage in my greenhouse is the size of basketballs! Chuck

@FensterfarmGreenhouse 10 лет назад

Some kraut and most just blanched and pressure canned. You just have to make sure that you get all of the air out of the cabbage leaves and fill the jars with a little extra water. I learned it from my grandmother and will do it for my family but I don't want to do a video on it since it is kind of controversial. Chuck

@JourneywithAtlas 9 лет назад

Love your commentary!!!!

@TheGohbomba 10 лет назад

The snail really eating my cucumbers stem thank for the videos

@SuperSaltydog77 7 лет назад

Hi Kaye, just planted 3 red cabbage this past week. I was given a head last fall and it made the best tasting 'kraut. Crushed up egg shells might be a consideration for the slug problem.

@Latebloomershow 7 лет назад

Yes, I do the egg shells now. I also use Sluggo which is certified for organic gardening, as well as copper tape on top of my raised bed. This video was in my first season, and I don't have as many slugs and snails as I used to. Thanks for watching! See my latest video to see the few cabbages I grew this year. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cUhvHo5xcr0.html Also, I grew Savoy Cabbage in Season 3 and it was amazing!! Check out the two part Growing Savoy Cabbage. Thanks for your support!! I'd really like to try to make some kraut next winter. Do you have a good recipe?

@WendyVallarta 10 лет назад

@TheRedheadsrus 10 лет назад

I just subbed. This is awesome. I am going to watch all of your videos. I'm a long time Gardner but learned so much from this. When did you originally sow your seeds?

@jnr777 6 лет назад

Nice and never even knew purple cabbage existed😂😂

@Latebloomershow 6 лет назад

Yes, it is available in most stores here. And all purple veg and fruit have more antioxidants. :)

@any123abcdoremi 9 лет назад

You seem to take all these problems in stride, it's very impressive. I just started a new container garden for the first time. I'm a bit nervous I'm making mistakes, but you seem to handle any problem so well! I hope I can handle all my problems as gracefully as you do.

@Latebloomershow 8 лет назад

+Chancard 20 You will! The biodynamic farmer that set me on this path said "There are no mistakes." It's all part of the experience. Half my stuff gets covered in mildew and I just keep going. I get a real kick out of watching things grow. And you will, too! Good luck and thanks for joining the late bloomer family! (sorry for the late response, I'm just seeing this now)

@mattdawg83686 10 лет назад

I just subscribed. We didn't know the cabbage got that big! We've got two growing right now. Oh boy!

@mattdawg83686 10 лет назад

Thanks Kaye! Luckily we haven't had to deal with any aphids or any kind of pests as of yet. We're out there everyday on top of things. This is our first garden, and the cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and squash are running wild. Good to learn for next year. *****

@mattdawg83686 10 лет назад

***** Guess what we found last week eating our cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower leaves? Cabbage worms! We had noticed the holes, but couldn't find anything until we looked up close and found them. We didn't know their camouflage was that good! We pulled them off, and went down to Zamzows and got some organic bug buster and that seems to have worked. They didn't touch our squash, peppers, cantaloupe, watermelon or tomatoes luckily. I'm glad we watched this video!

@youwardasuci 11 лет назад

watching episode 8 now :) more to go..

@angelasheppard7197 8 лет назад

I had no idea the work that needs to go into 'organic' cabbage.Otherwise the bugs would stay away,right?

@Latebloomershow 8 лет назад

+angela sheppard Well, I suppose you could spray veggies with chemicals, but then why bother to grow your own food? You can get chemicals in food from the store and with a lot less effort. Yes, pests love your veggies as much as you do. This was my first year. NOW, I only grow brassicas under red voile. See my kale episode. This at least eliminates cabbage worms that decimate your cabbages, broccoli, etc. It won't ants from farming aphids, but it will stop flying aphids. (Far more aphids get on plants from ants farming them than from flying aphids.) I get red voile or nylon netting from the fabric store. It's more expensive than row cover cloth but you can see through and see what's going on down there. And if you are careful with it, it can last a couple seasons. Eventually the sun will break it down and make it fragile and it will rip. You must secure all sides. Cabbage moths fly all around trying to get in.

@nicholasmccann88 11 лет назад

My cabbage leaves are curling like that. I thought it was natural while the cabbage forms. Guess I better go check them for aphids!

@stevecaswell 4 года назад

There are a lot of challenges growing food Outdoors. Not that I'm real experienced at it but if I do grow a garden I would like to build a greenhouse to do it in. I would also build raised beds because I have been reading a bit about it and those will help also to keep certain kinds of bugs and things out. Although it won't keep the ants and aphids away.

@TheRustySpigot 6 лет назад

Still rewatching! Also, my 10 yr old broke her arm yesterday! Ugh

@Latebloomershow 6 лет назад

Shane Winters Oh no! I know the agony she’s in and I don’t wish it on anyone please send her my best wishes for perfect healing. Of course when you’re 10 the bones just knit together so easily. My Healer is picking up a homeopathic remedy that she said really knits together broken bones and I’ll see her tomorrow can’t wait.

@nicholasmccann88 11 лет назад

Thank you for the advise! I didn't find any aphids. So far it's just been squirrels digging by them and covering the bottom leaves with dirt. And attacking other plants.

@LonnaMariecustomsongwriter 10 лет назад

thanks for video! I have caterpillars eating my purple cabbage, just sprayed them with safe brand caterpillar spray today so hopefully that will work. I planted 4 cabbage next to each other not realizing how BIG they were going to get. Is it okay to trim those big, excess leaves a bit at the bottom?

@yergman 7 лет назад

What kind of purple cabbage was that one, please? You provide so much useful information. Keep up the good work!

@Latebloomershow 7 лет назад

You know, this was my first year, and I bought the starts at the nursery, so I don't recall. I'm sorry! But, there are lots of wonderful purple cabbage heirloom seeds available to order.

@yergman 7 лет назад

I have 3 packs of red cabbage seeds so I will plant those this year. You were smart to buy starts.

@yergman 7 лет назад

@dsocervantes 8 лет назад

Thank you for your video, Kaye! If you don't mind me asking, I have a question. Why do some red cabbage leaves start out as green, and some start out as red?

@cjverde49 6 лет назад

Hey Kaye. Just reminiscing. Also have you tried beer in a dish ? The. Snails go for it

@Latebloomershow 6 лет назад

Yes, I tried that the first year, and they ignored or didn't see it. I resorted to Sluggo, which is safe for organic gardening, and I haven't had the huge numbers since this first year.

@WormcastingsNet 10 лет назад

lol... "the birds will be happy 2:07" really nice overall gardening technique Kaye... also very detailed with a lot of edits very nice... a buddy of mine from San Diego once told me quote "Ghetto Videos Sell" I guess I took that advise to extremes with my new videos...lol but seriously sometimes very ugly ads work 1000's of times better...

@WormcastingsNet 10 лет назад

nah... Im going to take your advice kaye ... The vids are not really ghetto in the way they should be... use of text, big happy faces in the middle of your vids, arrows, text and more .but not a shaky video... I really am not into sitting there like you do but I could do a lot of demonstration of products that way reviews this and that... There are just so many things in the garden niche... and I haven't check but I bet there is about 2 million clicks a month in the this niche and The key I think is balancing time/effort with effective output...Your videos are really nice and might command great traffic and convert but at what cost... (time sitting there editing) SO if one could cut that editing time out some how or outsource it that would be great...P.S. RU-vid has an editing system that's how I will attach the intro...

@WormcastingsNet 10 лет назад

I am inspired to get better now... thanks Kaye... goin' horizontal definitely... now if I can just figure out that setting thing you were talking about on my Samsung 4G... That thing is more confusing than rocket science literally ...were you saying to soften or some setting.. I will try now before I forget.. just increase resolution some how yes?

@nicholasmccann88 11 лет назад

Oh and I have a question. Half of the cabbages have become very big but the bottoms leaves are limp and always touching the soil while the other are erect and none of the leaves touch the soil. Is that okay or is there something wrong with them?

@OhPervyOne 10 лет назад

***** There is a great no-work solution for snails and slugs and it is Beer. Step 1. Relax n have a beer. Don't drink it all, tho. Save the last little bit. Step 2. Put a shallow dish in the garden near your veggies. Press it down so the lip of the dish is near the soil-line, so the squishy-slimies can get in. Step 3. Pour in the remainder of your beer. The snails love it (for some reason) and they will climb up into the dish and simply drown themselves in the beer. God only knows why, but it works like a charm, every time. Another thing you can do is, whenever you make (or break) eggs, save the eggshells. Bake them (to kill bacteria) and then break them up into shards. Take your broken-up shards of egg-shells out to your veggies and spread them in a circle around each plant. The snails and slugs will not climb over them, cuz they *hate* the sharp edges of the egg-shells shards. I can't blame them. It's like skinning the soles of your feet, then walking on broken glass. Honestly, though, they won't get any sympathy from me. I prefer to use the beer. Die, Slimies, DIE! :-D
