In San Antonio, we didn’t get too much effect from the hurricane, but the heat is pretty much preventing much production. My Jalapenos have done OK this year, but so far there are only 1 small tomato and 4 yellow pear tomatoes. In the past few years I’ve either left those in or replaced them for fall tomatoes - if they don’t ripen before frost, pick them and let them ripen in the pantry. Summer is no longer tomato season here it seems.
You and me both I haven’t been in my garden the way I really should. I did pull a few things out, but I’ve already succeeded planning about two or three weeks ago so they’re starting up again, but I was surprised on some things and makes me happy. I have a bunch of small melons coming along. I picked two but I see about six more different areas and I got a pumpkin or two in the front yard. All my succession planning is starting to kick in again so I will be having cucumbers all over again I want to start planning like some of the fall things, I thought the bug was gonna be gone. I’ve been picking seeds off of plants too darn it. My peppers are actually doing really good. I have a two-year-old one. That looks pretty bad. I’m gonna it’s in a pot, but I’m gonna put it in a ground. You don’t in a bigger container and see my jalapeños and a lot of the other peppers I have are coming along good , one of my two year old pepper plants is actually thriving right now. It looks so pretty it almost looks like a house plant .. 🌶️
My peppers were slowing down and dropping flowers due to heat and rain. I started giving them flower fertilizer instead of just the vegetable stuff. It helped them start flowering more and putting on more fruit. We just got done with 3 weeks of rain, and the pests are all over. I'm finding caterpillars where i never found them all spring and July. It greets me down but trying to stay focused on the good stuff. Hope you get your peppers sorted out.
Your in a hot zone. It's better to plant in ground with a lot of mulch. Also you probably need shade-clothes to keep it cool for your plant. Peppers like to stay between 70- 80 degrees. 90 and up will make your tomatoes and peppers stress out and die.
Zone 5 Canada, unusual extremes in weather, like 20°difference between night and day temps, downpours, then nothing. Have used white and black shade cloth, lots of mulch and it works, getting a ton of tomatoes and beans although during the extreme heat was losing a lot of pepper flowers. Best year yet!😊
I’m sorry man, I must have jinxed you when I was over there raving about how great your peppers were doing compared to mine. lol. Our jalapeno peppers are the only peppers that did anything for us this year.
Today’s August 1 I’m watching your video about 10:40 PM and yes that hurricane did a doozy it put my pear looking very sad too. I think it’s in shock so I’m gonna cross my fingers next year. I’ll get some pears . I didn’t get pear this year because I gave it a big big pruning and they told me it would probably Skippy and it did but the hurricane came through real hard and it put my pear looking pretty bad it’s still here but it’s in shock and I remember on hurricane Ike that happened and it skipped a whole year before I produce 🍐 again I’ve been doing very little bit at a time as far as pulling out stuff I have a lot of seedlings. I already started up again today I see the pop-up so it won’t be long another maybe a week or two before I start putting them in the ground or wherever I’m gonna put a mat in a race bed and let’s see what happens PS make sure you watch the weather. They say we may have another one coming, but we’re about a week away if they determine if it’s coming our way it looks like it’s going to Florida.
with containers like that you need to put grass stems and small sticks at the bottom of very healthy amount and i find the biggest problem is drainage and sweating at the bottom always put twice as many drain holes as you think you'll need reason for the grass twigs and stems at the bottom is to stop the roots from plunging to the bottom of the container and sweating up against the plastic and I have had the best luck with the 75 gallon totes but yes drainage and air flow at the bottom is your most important thing because if it's all soil it will just condense and turn to mud i wouldn't go outside and make a small short on one of the containers i just made about two weeks ago not your average container but i'll explain what i did in the short vid
Those pepper plants look like they got contaminated soil with glyphosate I saw someone use activated charcoal on there garden and most of there garden bounced back in days and they had a whole two of those tall 4x8 raised beds no bending down ones that are rectangular all except there tomatoes came back
I should have film this. I had a plant that was getting absolutely destroyed with aphids and I use shaving foam to save it! I cleaned the plant off of all of its aphids and put a shaving foam barrier at its stem everyday for 10 days talking off any aphids i found into the shaving foam below simply rinsed it away each morning and reapplied i have a feeling this will work with almost any crawling insect you might have some use for this information in your garden just record i used barbasol shave foam with nothing added
You need to use your google camera to identify those plants your calling " weeds " I've been studying herbalism, & they might either be an edible plant or a medicinal herb that might be very good for you. I did that & I astonished . So now I'm making tinctures of a few of them % the other one I cooked in with my greens ☺
I moved some sick looking peppers to a partial shade and they’ve bounced back. You should try it. Maybe if you move them and give them some slow release fertilizer maybe try that I believe peppers are very resilient. I had some really sickly poor looking ones in there now looking lovely.
As a newbie to gardening I appreciate you showing the good and the ugly. Every other channel I came across only showed the wins so as I struggled and lost things I planted I thought it was just me and I should give up.
After Beryl, we had 10 days of rain. I measured a total of a little over 14” for the 10 days! We not only got the rain, but also the temps dipped into the upper 60’s a couple of those days. With a combination of rain and much lower temperatures, I really think it took a toll on our peppers (most of mine died too). This week, we are back into upper 90’s?? It’s no wonder some of the plants are struggling.
@@robinhill4497 💯💯💯 I got 11" of rain at my place over those 10 days of rain... and 7 with the hurricane. Now we're going into 2 weeks of high 90s🤦♂️ Texas weather🤯🤯
Do you think all the rain was too much for the peppers? Mine are doing good, they aren’t big, plant or pepper, but they’re putting out a good amount of peppers. I finally got one off my Fooled you pepper! No Heat! 🎉😊😂 I’ll be interested to hear your take on what’s happened to the peppers.
Certainly appreciate you and show the good and not so much... our Garden like yours from a distance looks great, however up close...arg... too much rain and the a heat wave, then more rain, just like yours, and our faithful standby crops failed. Blessings ❤
A lot of your plants are looking yellow. Maybe a 1/2 dose of Alaska 5-1-1 Fish Fertilizer every week would help. Maybe the nitrogen washed out with the rains.
