They are called organza bags, I use them to isolate flower sites to reduce cross pollination, but in this case it allowed aphids to feed risk free until a hover fly found it's way in and took them out 🤘

I'm glad the info can be of some use! 🙏😁

Hey there! Here's a link to learn more about my favorite seedling-watering tool! :) www.pdxpeppers.com/post/my-favorite-watering-tool

🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🤘

Ahh this one slipped by me. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I was unaware. I'll have to go through my old seed packs to see what variety this is. I appreciate the comment 🤘

I'm glad this info was able to help you! :)

🤘😁

Oh geez I have no idea. Bought the seed years ago. Don't remember the package saying anything other than Delicata or who I got em from 😅

They are such great squash!! :)

I'm sorry but I'm not sure I understand your question 😅

I would contact Evergreen grower supply and ask. I haven't heard of restrictions to California but I would believe it. There may be some local bug suppliers in your state that may have them?

@@EdibleGardenGrowers awaiting interstate permits. Doubt they want to give up pesticides that make money. Just like w fallacis.

Much appreciated friend 🙏

I can't imagine any downsides in an indoor setting. They may not stick around after taking out the aphids and may not take out 100%, so they may come back in a few weeks after the crazee mites have left. This is true with many different beneficial insects though. The first round won't always take out 100% but I'm new to these guys specifically so they might be more thorough

@@EdibleGardenGrowers They are expensive as hell, but amazing. Ive used many benifiicials and I have never seen better results.

Thanks! I hope they treat you well! 🤠🤠

It's all an illusion 🧙‍♂️🧙‍♂️🧙‍♂️

@@dracoargus915 lol, the thing at the end is a homemade nutrient mixing tank

Ya sounds like a pollination issue to me, so hopefully your plant puts out some male flowers so you can hand pollinate:) woot for pumpkins!!

Thanks friend! Some where between 450 and 500 total :)

Thanks fren 🙏🙏

It was definitely my worst year for summer/winter squash :( this method definitely helped out! :)

Interesting to hear! it was only one of about 500, so was just an odd one off 😅

dang what a deal!

Hello friend 😁

I'd imagine so 😅 have you tried releasing/attracting beneficial insects to try and keep them at bay? Green Lacewing larvae, parasitic wasps, assassin bugs, and hover flies all work wonders on them :)

Thanks! :) Yeah I may have gone a bit overboard 😅 plan to roast and/or dehydrate a bunch here soon

Hello friend! :)

Yay thanks for checking it out friend!! 🥰🥰🥰

I've got a few more sticking around than I was before, lots of flowers, but still getting some flower drop. It's just with these Reapers. Everything else is still taken off despite the temperature drop. Man I haven't heard the term vapor pressure deficit used outside of the cannabis growing community. Stoked to hear other people on that game in the pepper growing community

@@EdibleGardenGrowers ah that is good that it was not a garden-wide pepper issue. I had 2x chocolate fatalii peppers that were outside of our greenhouse that didn't bear any fruit. The 2x in the greenhouse are still blooming right now even w the cooler temps. I wonder if there was a temperature or humidity trigger that didn't happen w the outdoor ones.

@@user-hs7qn3bo1y dang youtube not informing me of comments 😅yeah wasnt garden wide, just the reapers. ended up with a bunch more small ones the last two weeks but too cold to ripen. finally pulled the last from my poly tunnels yesterday.

@@EdibleGardenGrowers nice! I pulled most of mine this past week and sent seeds to friends of the interesting verigated purple ones we had show up. If you're in the PDX area and want to ever trade some pepper seeds let me know! I have not found many pepper heads here in Molalla. Found ya on IG and followed under beangineers

@@user-hs7qn3bo1y Definitely a late ending to the season which I was thankful for. oh nice, i love variegated peppers :) Yeah im in outer southeast portland near Gresham. always down for a trade! I run a small pepper nursery out of my bigger greenhouse in the spring :) pdxpeppers.com

You're right.... Should have been wearing the shirt....

Ooooh very interesting! We grew it last year for chicory root coffee and haven't been inspired to harvest it yet this year 😅 thanks for the info!!

Thanks friend! 🥰

@@EdibleGardenGrowers welcome 🥰

Thanks friend!! 🥰

@@EdibleGardenGrowers welcome 🥰

Happy to pass on the info! Best of luck in your pumpkins growing adventures 🧡

It depends on the severity of the pest population and how much you apply, but I notice the problem disappears after a few weeks at most, especially if you wipe off leaves with a wet rag before applying :)

I know you do! 😁😘

Nice! They are my partners favorite squash 😀😀

@@EdibleGardenGrowers never knew what they were called before I saw your video! Was happy to find I can buy seeds in my area! 🥰

I have not seen it transfer to non squash plants myself. I wouldn't grow cucumbers near squash though as they are susceptible to the same issues, and would also avoid growing cannabis near squash plants as it tends to be highly susceptible to PM and botrytis (bud rot). Cucumbers are a bit different In that they will continue producing for a long time if you can keep them free of PM. Squash tend to produce their fruit in summer and then ripen into early fall which is why it isn't an issue for squash

I sell plants in the spring out of my house, posting listings on Craigslist, Facebook market place, etc. Contemplating getting into local farmers markets next spring if things go as planned :) Seeds will be available at PDXPeppers.com once I start harvesting peppers in the next few weeks :)

I measure it right after adding in and mixing up all the nutrients I'm adding to the water. Then after each time I add a pH up solution until I get it to 6.5. Then I use the mixture. I try to add small amounts of the pH up at a time as to avoid going over 6.5. If it goes too high over that then you need to bring it back down by either adding in more nutrients or using a pH down. But I don't like using a pH down as it's just more stuff in the mixture than is needed

Glad to pass on the info!! I hope it can help you out! 😁😁
