That sounds like a wonderful plan! Sweet potato vines can indeed add a lovely touch of greenery indoors during the winter months. Best of luck with your sweet potato project, and may your windowsill garden thrive! 🌿 Cheers!

Thanks for sharing! Rue is indeed a beautiful plant, but I totally get your frustration with the flies. It's ironic how such a lovely herb can attract those little pests! One idea you could try is using natural repellents like citronella or lavender nearby to help keep the flies away. Glad you found the clip, though! Hopefully, the flies won't bother you much longer! 😊🌿

Welcome!

The flowers and leaves of sweet potato plants are in fact edible and can be prepared similarly to spinach. However, you're better off choosing a variety specifically developed as a food crop!

Welcome!

That's fantastic to hear! Best of luck with your gardening project-I'm sure it's going to turn out great!🌼

Yes they are!

Yes! Sweet pea seed pods can be left on the plant until they turn brown and dry out naturally. This is the ideal time to harvest them for seeds!

Chamomile Plant can get quite large, reaching heights of around 60cm!

Yes! Transplant the strongest one to single pots, and with good care you will end up with nice plants!

Certainly! When applying rooting hormone to a clipped cucumber seedling for propagation, here's how you can care for it: Preparing the Seedling: Dip the clipped end of the cucumber seedling into rooting hormone powder or gel. This helps stimulate root growth. Planting: Plant the seedling in a small pot filled with well-draining soil. Make sure the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Light and Temperature: Place the pot in a location that receives bright, indirect sunlight. Cucumber seedlings thrive in warm temperatures, ideally between 70-85°F (21-29°C). Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering as cucumber seedlings can be sensitive to waterlogged conditions. Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity around the seedling. You can cover the pot with a clear plastic bag or use a humidity dome to retain moisture until roots develop. Care After Rooting: Once roots have developed (usually within a few weeks), gradually acclimate the seedling to outdoor conditions if transplanting outside. Harden off by exposing it to outdoor conditions for increasing periods each day. By following these steps, you can help ensure your clipped cucumber seedling establishes healthy roots and grows into a thriving plant!

Here are some key points about olive germination: Seed Preparation: Olive seeds often have a hard seed coat that can inhibit germination. To improve the chances of successful germination, the seeds may need to be scarified (scratched or nicked) to allow water to penetrate. Stratification: Olive seeds may require a period of cold stratification, which mimics the natural winter conditions needed to break seed dormancy. This typically involves placing the seeds in a moist medium at a low temperature (around 4°C or 39°F) for several weeks. Sowing: Once prepared, the seeds should be planted in a well-draining soil mix. They should be placed at a depth of about 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 inches). Germination Conditions: Olives require a warm environment for germination, with temperatures around 20-25°C (68-77°F). The soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Remember germination can be slow and may take several weeks to several months. Patience is key, as olive seeds can be slow to sprout.

What do you mean by too much waste of aloe material?

@@OrganiCGardeningEnthusiastyou chopped it into pieces lol

@@Merchaant Ok!

That's incredible! It must be so rewarding to see your passionfruit vines flourishing after all your hard work and patience. It's like watching your own little garden miracle unfold. Crossing my fingers for a bountiful harvest for you! Keep us posted on how they develop! 🌱🌸

Dragon tongue beans need 8 to 9 inches (20-23 cm.) This is the ideal container size for these plants!

You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear that your problem is resolved. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

Thank you! I'm sorry to hear that the text in my videos is moving too quickly. I'll make sure to slow it down in future videos to ensure everyone can follow along comfortably. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!

I kept pausing it to read. Thought it was just me 😆

Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to watch my short videos and share your thoughts. I’ll definitely work on slowing down the writing to make it easier to read. Your input is valuable and will help me improve the content for everyone. Thanks again!

Thank you for the compliment! I'll keep your feedback in mind and try to make the videos shorter in the future. Appreciate your input!

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that you've had success with transplanting seedlings that way. Different methods can work well depending on the type of plant and personal preference. For some, cutting at the base might be a way to prevent transplant shock or to manage space better, but your approach of gently separating the roots sounds like a gentle and effective method too. Happy gardening!

That's exciting! Passion fruit vines can take a while to start producing, so it sounds like your patience is paying off. Seeing buds is a great sign that you'll have fruit soon. It's definitely smart to check what the flower buds look like to avoid accidentally cutting them. And it's good to hear that your fence is strong enough to support the vines!

Are these bean the same thing as the green string beans and if not how do you cook them

Certainly! There are several alternatives to marigolds that are less likely to trigger allergies and can still provide beauty and benefits to your garden. Some options include: Lavender - Not only does it look beautiful and smell wonderful, but it also deters pests. Petunias - These come in various colors and are known for their ability to repel aphids. Nasturtiums - Edible and colorful, they can deter whiteflies and aphids. Basil - Great for cooking and repels mosquitoes and flies. Chrysanthemums - These flowers can deter ants, roaches, ticks, and fleas. Consider trying these alternatives to keep your garden vibrant and allergy-friendly!

@@ReneeRidenour-q5m Dragon tongue beans and green string beans are not the same thing, though they are both types of beans. Dragon tongue beans are distinctive for their cream-colored pods with purple streaks, whereas green string beans are typically solid green. To cook dragon tongue beans, you can prepare them similarly to green string beans. Here are a few methods: Boiling: Boil the beans in salted water for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and serve with a bit of butter, salt, and pepper. Steaming: Steam the beans for about 5-7 minutes until tender. They can be served with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of sea salt. Sautéing: Heat some olive oil or butter in a pan, add the beans, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. You can add garlic, onions, or other seasonings for extra flavor. Roasting: Toss the beans with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes until they start to caramelize. Unlike green beans, dragon tongue beans lose their vibrant color when cooked, turning into a more uniform pale yellow. Enjoy experimenting with these delicious beans!

I'm really sorry to hear about your mom. It’s wonderful that you're continuing her tradition of growing dragon tongue beans. It sounds like you're determined to get it right, which is great! Starting them in the big round planter might just be the trick. Sometimes, seedlings do better when they're not transplanted and have more room to grow from the start. Make sure to keep an eye on the watering - soggy, wilted leaves often indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Good luck with your third attempt! I'm rooting for you!

Thank you!

Soaking seeds before planting can be beneficial for some types of seeds, as it can speed up the germination process and improve overall germination rates. However, the necessity and effectiveness of soaking seeds depend on the type of seeds you are using. For instance, larger seeds with hard coats, such as beans, peas, and corn, often benefit from soaking as it helps soften the outer shell and encourages faster sprouting. On the other hand, smaller seeds or those with very delicate coats might not need soaking and can be directly sown into the soil. It's best to check the specific requirements for the type of seeds you are planting. Seed packets or guidelines from reputable gardening sources usually provide detailed instructions on whether soaking is recommended for optimal growth.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. It can be tricky to find the right spacing for plants to thrive. Powdery mildew is definitely a concern with close planting! Have you tried thinning them out or pruning to improve airflow? That might help reduce the risk of mildew. GOOD LUCK!

@@OrganiCGardeningEnthusiast I did prune the calendula but couldn't stop this problem. Might be the heat and water or soil, not in balance

@@foxybuddy It sounds like you've taken some good steps by pruning the calendula. The issues might indeed be related to environmental factors such as heat, water, or soil conditions. Here are a few suggestions that might help you address the problem: Watering: Ensure you're watering consistently, but avoid overwatering. Calendulas prefer well-drained soil. Check if the soil is too dry or too wet. Soil Quality: Consider testing your soil. Calendulas thrive in well-drained, fertile soil. If your soil is lacking nutrients, you might need to amend it with compost or a balanced fertilizer. Heat: Calendulas can struggle in extreme heat. If the temperatures are very high, providing some shade during the hottest part of the day could help. Pests and Diseases: Sometimes, problems can be caused by pests or diseases. Inspect your plants for any signs of insect damage or disease. Experimenting with these factors could help you pinpoint and resolve the issue. Good luck with your calendulas!

@@OrganiCGardeningEnthusiast very appreciate that, also I thought might also because of the ants, they bring the mildew from one to all plants, including zucchini. I now pay attention to ants, trap them hopefully the mildew problem can be controlled

@@foxybuddy Good luck and happy gardening!

Thank you!

Chicken manure is not absolutely necessary, but it is a highly effective natural organic fertilizer. There are several alternatives you can use to enrich your soil and promote healthy plant growth. Here are some options: Compost: Well-rotted compost made from kitchen scraps, garden waste, and other organic materials is an excellent alternative. It improves soil structure, adds nutrients, and enhances microbial activity. Cow or Horse Manure: These are other forms of animal manure that can be used similarly to chicken manure. Ensure they are well-aged or composted to avoid burning plants with high nitrogen content. Worm Castings (Vermicompost): Produced by earthworms, worm castings are rich in nutrients and beneficial microbes, making them a highly effective soil amendment. Bone Meal: This is a good source of phosphorus and calcium, essential for root development and flowering. Seaweed or Kelp Fertilizers: These provide a wide range of trace minerals and growth hormones that promote plant health and resilience. Each of these alternatives has its own benefits and can be selected based on the specific needs of your soil and plants. GOOD LUCK!!!

Growing an olive tree from store-bought olives in a jar is generally not feasible. Here's why: Processing and Preservation: Olives in jars are usually processed and preserved using methods like brining or curing, which can damage the seeds inside and make them non-viable for planting. Seed Viability: Even if the seeds inside the olives are intact, the processing they undergo often involves high salt content or other chemicals that can prevent germination. Hybrid Varieties: Many olives sold commercially come from hybrid varieties. Seeds from hybrids often do not produce plants that are true to the parent variety, leading to unpredictable and often undesirable traits in the new plants. For successful olive tree cultivation, it's better to purchase seeds or young saplings from a nursery or garden center. These are specifically prepared and selected for planting, ensuring better growth and development.
