Actually from the senior tees, I have a negative handicap. Practice makes perfect.

@@TheBackGardenYard I believe you! I see older guys all the time who can hit it straight - then have a great short game to finish off each hole. Respect :)

@@stephenharris8041 Thanks - I play on the GSGA and GA PGA super senior divisions. I'm not at the top of those lists, but on any given day, I can compete with any of them.

Thank you, and thanks for watching.

I'm not sure what Golf+ is, but we have to work with whatever we have... Thanks for the comment.

@ it’s a Virtual reality golf game. It’s the official game of the PGA. It’s an amazing experience if you ever get the opportunity. Maybe you have a relative with a Quest 3.

@@BigDuke6ixx Sounds like a good thing to do on a gray winter day. Thanks for the response.

@@TheBackGardenYard oh yes, for sure. Here in the UK, in southern England, a nearby village to me got 18 minutes of sunshine over a two-week period, and it was grey, really grey.

I don't know why you would do that. It's way more expensive that a bag of ammonium nitrate, and likely you might burn your plants. But good question.

@@TheBackGardenYard I’m experimenting right now with the baby plants growing in my kitchen over the winter. Extremely super hot peppers and a variety of tobacco plants.

@@Jeff1Veron Ok, let me know how this works out. My experience with indoor vegetable plants is that they get very leggy and weak, then go into shock when I finally transplant them outdoors in the spring. Of course good grow lights could help the indoor grow, imo.

@ I have my plants in the kitchen windows and they are also under some full spectrum LED lights that are pretty bright. I put a few granules of tannerite on a few of my plants (only on the soil) before watering them. So far they are still alive!!

Thank you. After 60 years of playing golf, I can hit it a little, lol

Yea, the laser distance "shooter" is probably the best invention in golf since the "metal woods". The accuracy is within a yard or two and it takes the guesswork out of distance, especially on a new golf course. I play in a couple of "super senior" competition leagues, and with the garden and the yard, it keeps me totally active in my retirement years... Thanks for the comment and have a blessed and HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

Yes, we really enjoy watching them throughout the year, then enjoy in the fall. Thanks for watching.

So nice of you

Yes, I released my fall garden video today. Planted on Sept. 1st - and have been harvesting for over a month now. Here's the link th-cam.com/video/5fp1Wv3J4aQ/w-d-xo.html

Yes, I have another garden in the back of the fruit trees section of the yard and have kale and more lettuce and a second crop of bok choi planted there. I didn't show that section in the video because I wanted to keep the time down. Glad to hear you are doing the fall garden, as so many folks seem to give up their gardens in August - September it seems.

Yea, I'm luckly that with the warm weather, my greens are worm free. However, there are some worms or slugs eating on my cabbage- Hopefully this cold spell we will have this weekend will slow them down.

Vietnamese - Detected Google translate -Your vegetable garden is growing so well, you are very good at growing and caring for vegetables, the vegetable garden looks so nice. Thank you so much for the kind comments. I really enjoy hearing from viewers across the oceans...

I really like mustard greens. I like to cook them with some smoked pork, then sop the juice up with freshly made cornbread. Yum. Thanks for watching.

@@TheBackGardenYard oh yes me also

I understand because just looking at my mustard greens, I can see they are only about 1 more unusually warm week away from bolting also. Hopefully the cold weather predicted for late this week will slow them down, and next Wednesday, I can harvest most of them for Thanksgiving. I used to grow the curly mustard, but way too much problems with worms hiding in the curly leaves, so I just grow the broadleaf kind now. They are very common, so you should be able to find seeds easily.

Great to hear. We are going to have a frost Thursday or Friday, so my peppers and tomatoes will finally be gone. I've never had them this late either.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I believe the improper use of fertilizers is probably the #1 cause of folks posting they get plants, but not a harvest of squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. Over the years I have learned from experience mostly when and how much to apply and I want to share this knowledge through the channel. Good luck with your future crops.

Ok - I know many people who use the manure mixtures in much higher concentrations, and I know very few who are measuring ph and EC, so my video was directed at those that use these compost mixtures in higher concentrations. No problem...

You are right, only a few minutes and it will burn holes in the leaves of plant. I try to knock it off the leaves if I see I have splashed it on. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you - I am about to do a video on my fall garden instead of the quick look I gave in the lima bean video. I can't believe people don't plant fall gardens...

@ i look forward to seeing it!! Absolutely, especially this fall, what a great year to grow!!

Thank you! The sweet potato and Taro combo with coconut cream sounds great. I'll give it a try.

Thank you, I'm still loving this extended fall.

Yes, I already had some lettuce bolt, and I'm very worried my mustard greens are going to bolt before Thanksgiving. Cooler weather moving in starting tomorrow, so we will see.

Just like my okra, I'm using seeds that were given to my brother from an old timer farmer who has now passed away. I save the seeds every year, so unfortunately I don't know what variety they are, just climbing lima beans...

Yes, it's very frustrating to have animals invade and destroy. I built a 7 ft fence around my back yard because of the deer, but I also see coon and possum tracks in the wet soil at times, and my ripe tomatoes get attacked by many animals - squirrels and chipmunks - but I just try to grow enough to get harvests despite the animals, lol.

Thank you

And just as I post this, lows are expected the next two days around 40 degrees which will likely end the tomatoes and peppers. But I'll still have the greens and lettuce until we get an ice storm so I love the climate here. Thanks for the comment.

They were planted in late April - And didn't start producing until July, but have been steady since.

@@TheBackGardenYard Thank You!

You bet cha! We cooked all of them and only could eat about half of them for dinner. Loving this extended fall we are having this year. Thanks for watching

I'm switching to 100% chicken manure compost this year, as I am now believing those that say the cow manure products may contain herbicide residue from cows grazing treated pastures. I got some terrible results from my green bean and pole beans sprouting the past couple of years, and I believe the herbicide was the culprit.

Yes, the smaller corms are very easy to peel after boiling, but the large ones still need to be cut and sized for boiling. Thanks for the comment and for watching.

Maybe do a google search for some of the online sellers and call them and ask if they ship to your location.

They have them at Asian store, especially Filipino store.

LOL - yea, Georgia poi - that's the ticket... Since we grow cabbage for kimchi, you can imagine my house is not strictly southern cuisine... Thanks for the comment!

Maybe if cooked enough, but I would be very very careful with them after what I have read about people eating them.

If it's real Taro, the answer is yes. There are many varieties of Taro and some have black stems. There are also many varieties of Elephant Ear also, so be careful. Here is an article that shows you how to tell the difference. If your Taro is making nice corms, and the leaves look like the Taro in the picture in this article, then it's probably safe to eat the leaves. NEVER eat any Taro raw though, as there is oxalic acid in the plant that will be neutralized by boiling or baking. Here's the link www.mauijungalow.com/2012/03/taro-vs-elephant-ear-telling-them-apart.html

Thank you for that statement. That's the main reason I am making these videos, as I see so many folks these days struggling to make a garden, spending way too much money on supplies, and really, you just need a sunny spot, some fertilizer and a little luck.

Check any Asian markets in your area. Costco also had Fuyu persimmons, but not the Kaki.

I think you could grow them in zones 5 through 9 in USA, especially if you wait until near the last frost to plant. However, they probably won't produce as big with a shorter growing season, but you could still get a crop, imo.

Yes, TARO is a staple on many Pacific islands.

Thanks for watching - I am glad you enjoyed the video.

You will absolutely love TARO - it thrives in moist to wet soil, is pest resistant, and super easy to grow. Find some edible corms (taro roots) in your local Asian market or order them online. Go ahead and plant them now, at least 4 inches deep if you have a cold winter, and just watch for them to appear next spring.

@@TheBackGardenYard I found some Taro tubers online but nearly everything I order is some sort of bait and switch like my latest fig trees. What kind of fig tree was the one in your yard with the leaves with long fingers? I ordered 4 Celeste fig trees and all of them have long fingered leaves on one branch and spade shaped leaves on others. They haven`t fruited yet but I think they might be Black Mission or Violette de Bordeaux fig trees. I think Magnolia figs have long fingered leaves too.

@@baneverything5580 My wife bought the fig trees at a local nursery and I'm sorry, I don't know the name. They make a medium sized fig. We had a large golden fig tree, but the insects always get inside the bloom ends of the figs as they ripen, so we cut it down.

Thanks for that tip, I was wondering if I could make some kind of "french fry" from them? I have fried leftover mashed taro for a breakfast addition and it came out very tasty.

Yes, try this link - studio.th-cam.com/users/playlistPLTk0wkxv-O4_8SEyDfIeSpbTXx0lyK_8o/videos

Yes, It's been in the 80's and 70's here still and it's November! I'm still pulling a few tomatoes off the cloned tomato vines I showed. Yes, I always know when I take my vines down that I'll be eating very few tomatoes again until June, except, I have a lot of frozen tomatoes in the freezer which will keep me in soups and sauces. Every now and then I thaw some frozen ones and eat with just salt and pepper... Not the same, but still delicious.

You are welcome, and thank you for watching.

Yes, we have wild persimmons here in Georgia also. They have to get so soft they fall off the tree in order to eat them, but they actually taste great if you can find them just right. Deer love them and will come clean up the fallen fruit every night.
