I am so happy to be back in the garden! At least until the crazy heat and humidity set in. ;-)
What's growing in your garden today?

So much for reminding us to put a hat on before we go out into the garden to protect our skin

@growandpreserve 4 месяца назад

It's a hard lesson to learn!

It's too hot day and having a hard time to grow vegetables around the house this around year. Thanks for showing us your beautiful garden.

Last year I bought fine mesh netting from Amazon and draped it along my blackberry rows and down to the ground. I have problems also with birds, especially crows😡. Then I sprinkled blood meal all around the edges of the blackberry rows to deter rabbits and other herbivores that have an aversion to the smell and taste of blood! You won't (or at least I don't) smell it but they do. It lasts through rain and watering as it gets into the ground. I learned this trick in my Master Gardening class here in WA state, where we do get quite a bit of rain at times. I've been doing this for about 20 years now and it appears to work for me, plus gives plants a good nitrogen boost! Happy gardening!😎🇺🇸

@growandpreserve 4 месяца назад

Outstanding, Linda! I have the mesh, but the blood meal never occurred to me. I'm absolutely doing this. Thanks so much for the info!

Hi Carter. What a beautiful start to your 2024 garden. Even though you didn’t do a full cleanup, your garden was already looking better than mine. 😂 I love how your incorporated your beds along the fencing. I bet it all looks wonderful when grown in. Those healthy indoor starts will lead to abundance in the garden. Happy Growing.

@growandpreserve 4 месяца назад

Thank you, Sheree! It does get a bit wild and wooly throughout the season! You'll get a good chuckle in a few months!

@thereseavelis1372 4 месяца назад

4 beds of garlic planted last fall. 2.5 beds of strawberries over-wintered as did the raspberries. Planted onions this weekend. Have a ton of seeds started, awaiting the garden in the cold frame - brassicas, lettuces, tons of pollinator flowers, tomatoes and peppers. Your garden looks so neat and tidy compared mine. I always wait to cut things back in the spring to leave something for bugs, birds, insects, etc. I try not to disturb the soil biology too much with digging, but had to get some Rose Gold potatoes in today as well. Thanks for the great content, Carter. Keep it coming! Cheers 🎉

@growandpreserve 4 месяца назад

Hey, Therese! It sounds like your gardening season is well underway. Do you have to protect your strawberries and raspberries from birds and squirrels? I struggle with that every year.

@thereseavelis1372 4 месяца назад

@@growandpreserve Yes, I use bird netting on the raspberries and lite row cover on the strawberries, or I would not have any berries at all!

@Sabbathissaturday 4 месяца назад

Looks wonderful. I usually have a tan by this time of year from gardening. I’m in the high desert of Texas. This is my first year not doing a garden and I’m so bummed out. I’m going to clean everything out and give everything a rest this year. The rats and mice came out like crazy last year and we’re all in my garden. I’ve never, ever had that happen. I don’t want them getting into my house. I have 4 cats on my 2 enclosed patios! I’m going to enjoy watching your garden this year.

@growandpreserve 4 месяца назад

Hopefully the rats and mice will move on this year! That was my thought about squash bugs and skipping growing all squash last year. Hoping they have forgotten where I live.

@christa459 4 месяца назад

I saw a helpful hint to deter birds that I will try this year - chiffon fabric. It is cheaper than anything sold through gardening sites and comes in long lengths that may be a good option for the blackberry trellis. I have high hopes for my grape vine!!

@christa459 4 месяца назад

Sorry not chiffon but tulle fabric!!!!!!

@growandpreserve 4 месяца назад

I do have some tulle that i had intended to use last year, but I had let them get so out of control that I couldn't effectively cover them. I'll try this year.

@tself624 4 месяца назад

Great video , I laughed out loud when you said no one should be surprised I’ve grown too many , as I do it too … every year haha. I’ve just given away 2 trays of turnips and I still have way too many , got way more tomato plants than I need and I’ve just planted 90 potatoes … and there’s only 2 of us! 🤣 . I amended my soil in spring too.. had the stuff, just never got around to it, though to be fair it seems to have rained here since No November!

Hi Carter, Looks like you've got a wonderful start to a beautiful successful garden in the works. Since it hasn't been my best couple of years physically, I went crazy and ordered so many seedlings from Ellie's Eden through Azure, can't even remember how many LOL We will be picking up our order Wednesday. So, we'll pray and get busy. We now have a young man that helps us with all the lifting, shoveling etc. It'll all get done as I am having more good days than bad lately. HalleluYAH! You look so cute in that hat! :) ♥♥♥

My garden will be mostly container, grow bag. I have potatoes in grow bags and sage and oregano. The carrot and beets are peaking out. I can no longer do a whole big garden. I still love to get my hands in the soil. I planted my strawberries in the greenstalk and they have berries on them.

I have a large garden. I'm going to try the square foot method, this year. Try to max out my garden space. My bell pepers have not come up. I went to home depot and pick up 10 pots. Try to grab as many as I can that have 2. But I replanted the seeds for a third time, in my house with a heat mat covered and a light. I have never had so much trouble. But I have always said I try my best with seeds but something doesn't work . I'm lucky and go to a sypre and get it.

@growandpreserve 4 месяца назад

Sorry you had trouble with your pepper seeds. We had some weird issues with seeds last year as well. So glad the store is there for back-up!

My husband and I are trying to destroy the five vining blackberries in my patch. I cannot deal with anything except the upright variety. (Apache/apraho?) the triple crown vining berries produce beautiful berries, but are just too difficult to keep pruned. I am trying to stay covered up from the sun too, which is hard especially when it is hot. I love your garden beds!

@growandpreserve 4 месяца назад

I get the blackberry vine frustrations! I'm just hoping I can show them who's boss this year...hopefully that's me! I so agree it is hard to cover up when it's hot. Looks like I'm going to have to become a morning person this Summer. Ick!

@terryhuggins8529 4 месяца назад

I grew peanuts for first time last year. I bought from grocery and they did very well. They can be labor intensive. You have to make sure bloom are pushed down onto soil. But ordered 10 lbs from Hoss Tools this year!! Good luck! Boiled peanut are great!!!

@growandpreserve 4 месяца назад

I have a small packet of them that I'll plant this year if I have room. What do you mean by pushing the bloom down into the soil? Clearly I need to do some research.

@Bewitched-bo9kx 4 месяца назад

I would think that Alfalfa Pellets would attract critters. I've never heard of that before.

@growandpreserve 4 месяца назад

Hey, DeeDee. I am looking forward to gardening this year too! How cold did it get that your garlic didn't survive? Do you grow hard neck or soft neck. Yes, my blackberries are thornless...just not frustrationless!

@constancebeck2992 4 месяца назад

I've been told to never plant tomato's and peppers in same place. Maybe move them on the opposite end? Your garden is very large. Love it! What are you supposed to do with the shallots? Mine look the same

@growandpreserve 4 месяца назад

Unfortunately, when you grow a ridiculous 3 beds each year of tomatoes and 2 beds of peppers, crop rotation math turns to calculus! Then factor in that the beds get different amounts of sun. Yeesh. I'm just hoping for the best! You are right though, crop rotation is best practice. The multiplying shallots? I am harvesting the seed head stalk and will either dry or freeze dry for a garlic powder. Then I'm just letting the plants do their thing. We'll see! How did your garden do in your absence?

@growandpreserve 4 месяца назад

Fingers crossed that it's a productive one again this year! When we originally started the garden, we laid all of our moving boxes around (and under) the raised beds and then covered them with mulch. Normally, the mulch is a natural brown, but this year, David found one colored black with charcoal. I'm not the biggest fan of the unnatural!

Could explain please what some of the amendments you mentioned? I as a fellow Gardner have never heard of the ingredients you mentioned before.

@growandpreserve 4 месяца назад

I can try! As I mentioned, I usually just add compost and call it good. This year I added biochar for soil biodiversity, alfalfa pellets for nitrogen and Azomite for minerals. We'll keep track of it over the Summer to see if these were good decisions or not!

Biochar! I am trying for the first time this year. To charge mine, I first hydrated it with my good well water then added liquid fish fertilizer, some alpaca poo, liquid seed starting mix and worm castings. Still need to add some homemade compost and azomite. What did you charge yours with? Cheers 🎉

@growandpreserve 4 месяца назад

Therese, you are ahead of me. The bag just said to add it to the bed, nothing about charging it first. It sounds like I missed a step?

@thereseavelis1372 4 месяца назад

@@growandpreserve There are several channels that explain how to charge biochar. I was pretty sure what I got had not been charged yet so used what I had on hand to do so. Maybe yours was already charged? I do think some biochar comes already charged.
