Thank you very much!💚

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you very much! I appreciate your support.🙏🏾

Thank you! I know there are a variety of ways to brew compost tea. What is your preferred or “go-to” method?

@@urbangardeningwithgray I don't understand the science of it completely so maybe you can help with somet tips. I personally don't do anything special, I compost my weeds in buckets with water and aerate. Takes longer but I have good results. I make other compost too and am constantly improvising ways to incorporate organic materials.

Thanks I appreciate the advice. I will give it a try. I have been trying to find the right microphone and distance combination for a while now. I will try clipping to my hat.

Thank you!🙏🏾

Thank you very much! And thank you for your support!

Thank you for your support! I very much appreciate it! As for your question, given your space limitations yes you can grow both lettuce and garlic in pots. But in the same pot may be more of a challenge. First, They have different growing seasons. Lettuce likes cool weather (spring/fall), while garlic is planted in fall for summer harvest. Additionally, they have different water needs. Lettuce wants consistent moisture, but garlic prefers drier conditions. Plus they require the same nutrients so they may compete with one another. Also, they both have root systems that may make space limited stunting their overall growth. It’s ambitious to try, but you may be better separating these too, they would be like roommates that have different work schedules. Let me know what you ultimately decide.

Start with a tomato plant as your centerpiece, then nestle some bell peppers about 12-18 inches away. Tuck in some basil plants around 6-8 inches from both the tomato and peppers. Let me know if this helps! Happy gardening!

Thank you!🙏🏾

He is on his way!

Pretty soon he is going to be planting better than me! 😁

Thank you my good sir! Yes he was soo cool. Happy to have met him! Happy to be bartering!

I am planning on keeping mine in pots for at least the first two years and possibly transplanting in the ground after I get a strong enough root system. From there I will try to keep it pruned pretty regularly as well. Because when winter comes it is going to have to be covered in plastic and deeply mulched near the roots to protect it, just like you are doing. So we are on the same track!

Freezing it! It’s so simple, don’t know why I didn’t think of it before hand. Freeze it and it locks in the moisture. Then thaw it when you want to use.

Thank you! So happy for you to be here! Let me know if there is anything specific you would like to see!

More than happy to help!

I am sorry for the delay. But I purchased the mother plant a last year at a local nursery. It was maybe 5 inches when o purchased her. She then started spawning croms or shoots just this year. I am so excited. And yes you are correct, bananas do extremely well in central Florida. My friend @andrethefarmer has a bunch of bananas growing at his home, and he is in central Florida as well. If you get the chance check out his Banana grove.

Green beans! Kholrobi, or some other brassica in hopes the dreaded cabbage moths are done with their cycle and maybe they'll live!

😂😂😂 Satan’s Spawn! I love it! Pumpkins would be too late in the season for me. But you have peaked my interest. I was thinking long of adding dark Opal basil already. So we are right on track!👍🏾

Brassicas are always a good idea!👍🏾 I like it

@urbangardeningwithgray I've never planted tbe dark opal basil variety! I do hope you will show it in a video. 💜

Definitely will!

Hey there

@@urbangardeningwithgray Hey sir i am here

That’s unfortunate

👍🏾

What do you mean?

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you!🙏🏾

Thank you! I am so honored to be working with such a great team!

Thank you my brother!

Peace is important, good mental health is an awesome byproduct .

You are welcome. You may want to still companion plant but just leave in pots and monitor the above ground runners.

Happy Holidays!

I am glad that you can find the peace in gardening you once did! And passing on the seedlings is a great way to share your experience! Thank you for sharing your story with me!🌱💚

How badly has the sun scorched the leaves, are any still green?

@@urbangardeningwithgray yes

This is what we need to do asap to save a sun-scorched pothos plant: 1. Move it to shade immediately to prevent further damage. 2. Remove damaged leaves, as they won't recover. 3. Water thoroughly but don't overwater. Ensure good drainage. 4. Increase humidity by misting or using a pebble tray. 5. Avoid fertilizing until the plant shows signs of recovery. 6. Gradually reintroduce to brighter light once it recovers. Keep me posted on your progress and I will continue to help and see if we can save her.

You are absolutely correct. 100% Lao Tzu.

To combat spider mites in temperatures exceeding 90°F (32°C), consider the following strategies: 1. Hydro-pressure treatment: Apply a strong water spray to dislodge mites from plant surfaces. 2. Neem oil application: Utilize a solution of 2 teaspoons neem oil per quart of water, with a small amount of mild soap as an emulsifier. Apply thoroughly to both sides of leaves. 3. Insecticidal soap: Apply a commercial or homemade insecticidal soap solution. 4. Selective pruning: Remove heavily infested plant sections to prevent further spread. 5. Humidity management: Increase ambient moisture through regular misting, as spider mites prefer dry conditions. 6. Biological control: Introduce natural predators such as predatory mites or ladybugs. 7. Diatomaceous earth: Apply food-grade diatomaceous earth as a physical barrier. 8. Plant health optimization: Ensure proper watering and nutrition to increase plant resilience. 9. Quarantine procedures: Isolate and treat new plants before introducing them to your main growing area. For optimal results, implement an integrated pest management approach combining multiple methods. Let me know what works best for you. Or if you need any additional help.

Thank you for finding me again. Yes unfortunately TH-cam will turn off notifications randomly. Although, to answer your question, Grafted fruit trees have several advantages: - Earlier fruit production - Predictable traits (fruit quality, tree size) - Improved disease resistance - Size control through dwarfing rootstocks - Possibility of multiple varieties on one tree - Better soil adaptation While growing from seed is rewarding, it's less predictable and slower to fruit. Grafting is a time-tested, beneficial practice used by many arborists and tree farmers alike, despite seeming unnatural. Consider your goals, space, and patience when deciding between grafted and seed-grown trees. Let me know if this helps or if you need me to go into greater detail.

@@urbangardeningwithgray Thank you Gray. You did provide me with ample information to help me in my choice. I am appreciative of your thoroughness and promptness. 💖🙏🌟

Yes please!

What issues are you having, are they germinating?

@@urbangardeningwithgray I used a whole packet of seeds to get one to germinate and live long enough to get big enough to move outside. That was 2 years ago. We were having a drought. I think I loved it to death. Prob over watered. Haven’t tried again.

In 2-3 months outside it never got more than 7” tall. Then it died. It was in a grow bag.

Welcome aboard! Glad to have you join us!🌱💚

Same!
