Roads Go Ever On - Acoustic Cover - From 1977 Rankin-Bass “The Hobbit”
มุมมอง 377ปีที่แล้ว
One of my all time favorite movies from my childhood. This tune, especially during the battle of five armies, was one that always moved me. This is my attempt to play it. Pardon the heavy breathing, still got COVID ! Open E tuning

Excellent large beefsteak type tomato that is a great in home gardens in central Florida. Almost no other tomato is as disease resistant as this variety. Got these seeds from Hoss Tools.

I have one in my garden, the roots spread as far as 20 feet and gives off baby trees all over my garden. I cut off the top and it is only about 6 ft tall and spread side ways over 6 ft wide.
I didnt know passionfruit could be trained like grapes. It was an idea i came up by myself. Pruning that way would be easier. Arbor style provides shade but the thought of purning all those overlapping vines, not for me. I'd strain my neck 😅 My plants are still small. Just bought them. Im thinking of doing some in hydroponic. I wonder how it'll go
Thank you for all the info! What and where did you those pots and lids for the tomato plants?
I made them from molasses containers. They are sub-irrigated planters. Essentially an earth box, but larger!
I have both of those trees, they are good. VP trees get much larger.
Calabura é o nome vulgar da espécie arbórea Muntingia calabura, da família Muntingiaceae. Seus frutos são pequenos, globosos e muito doces, sendo muito apreciados por aves e morcegos, peixes (IAC) tornando esta espécie muito importante para a atração da fauna em áreas de reflorestamentos. Originária das Americas, principalmente México e Peru, foi introduzida no Brasil pelo Instituto Agronômico de Campinas em 1960. O fruto é comestível, muito doce e com propriedades nutritivas. A árvore atinge até sete metros de altura e tem crescimento muito rápido, porém sua madeira é fraca, quebrando com facilidade com ventos fortes e tempestades
Do you know of any more unique fruit trees with the nutritional value?
Do they die back in the winter that far south?
@@pixiesprite9433 yes, they actually die back below ground about May, June at the latest in some spots.
@TheHivefl dang and they come back after about how long do you think? Thanks for getting back to me so fast.
@@pixiesprite9433 they pop up about February, just before the deciduous canopy leafs out and they are gone by the time the temps hit the 90s. This species only occurs is the mostly deciduous upland hardwoods which is not a particularly common habitat here.
@TheHivefl dang well I think I will bring them in with extreme weather
What about NPK?
Just a balanced fertilizer. If anything something slightly higher in nitrogen. They are not picky.
Is red snapper tomatoes meaty?
Thank You Sir. Was looking for a Cherokee purple alternative. How would you rate this tomato in terms of sweetness? Is it sweeter than the Cherokee Purple or more tangy?
are there fibers? What would be the best mangos to grow and eat in your back yard?
Can the leaves burn in direct sunlight
Is covering the trunk necessary? I just cut mine and it’s full of water.
Do you have a source for it not fixing nitrogen?
I was hoping for a comparison video where someone takes a plant out of an air pot container and another plant of the same species out of a regular container and then washes off the soil to see the difference in root system.
It’s almost the end of May. I’m in south west FL… can I chop mine in half now or is it too hot? I only had one fruit that didn’t ripen enough and the rest of the buds fell off. It’s only a year old but about 8 ft tall and I need to spray because it did develop the brown spots and very few leaves left on canopy. Anyone in my area plz let me know if I can cut it now. TIA
no actually the fresh seed germinate faster>>>old dry seed takes a while and it needs heat and 100 percent humidity>>>AND PATIENCE>>LOTS OF PATIENCE
Really enjoyed watching for the 3rd time.
Excellent video...thanks! Here in the Piedmont of NC we own some heavily wooded creek bottom acreage. No hammocks, but the woods are 40-50 years old, with tree trunks up to 4 feet. I have not looked for Red Mulberry, but will take a close look this week. I knew nothing of mulberries until pasting a photo of an unknow-to-me tree into Pl@ntNet, which identified it as M. alba. That tree is about 20' tall, sited on the north edge of a line of cyprus and cedars at our house in town, which partially shade it through the midday. Near ideal mid-story. It's developing a heavy crop of fruit, which we look forward to eating and preserving. If you don't have Rubra cuttings, I'd love to add some (at least one!) Tice to the half-acre food forest we're developing in a forest clearing. Liked and subscribed. I'll reach out to you on FB. Thanks!
As a greenhore in N. FL I was considering the fruiting wood as second year since it was so close to the branch and I kept seeing videos saying first year so it was pretty confusing. If you just heard someone say first year wood I think most would prune heavy when dormant and you would loose a lot of berries in the spring and maybe get some on the tips later that year? I think pruning them after fruiting would be best as well, although you see lots of videos saying prune in winter? Thanks for going into more detail.
Greenhore? Greenhorn, maybe, lol? Yeah, it seems like most videos show pruning while dormant in winter. But from this video it sure sounds like pruning after fruiting in late spring makes more sense. 🤔
Great video. Thanks
This looks similar to Flacourtia Indica (Trinidad Cerise). It isn’t native to the Caribbean but might grow in your area. It is a sweet tasting delicious fruit.
Great video
i was forced to eat tomato when i was a child so hate it
Wow how sad. My grandchildren can't get enough.
Wow just planted two small 25 gallon live oaks and I didn’t even know the importance of the root flare location but when I planted them my father told me not too deep and I kinda had a small exposed part of the roots showing and I thought it wasn’t deep enough but my dad said it’s good it’s the tree’s “character root” is that another term for the root flare ?
Thank you for this movie i decided to buy 18 of air pots
You don't need a knife to cut that rubber strap from around the trunk, just unwrap it 🙄Poor tree.
Nah it was tied super tight before the tree expanded into it. It’s a strap, like thick fabric like a ratchet strap. It was cut though, tree has no sign of damage now.
thanks for sharing, sorry took me so long to notice the video!
Thank you for sharing! Hoping the strap was removed and root flare exposed 🙏
Where in Central Florida are you located and where can I get the Hawaiian Solo Sunset Variety?
The video I'm looking for , thanks
Love the video! I'm considering this tree for my back yard. Wanted to downsize my lawn and shade my back yard (I'm on a 1/4 acre). I planted two Gumbo Limbo trees, love that tree but Brevard, FL seems too cold. Two frosts the past couple of winters caused them to die back. They do come back but probably won't achieve maturity, so the huge area in my back yard is still wide open I want to stick with native plants/trees and have several in other areas of my yard. Listening to your video has helped me decide on this tree. Thanks so much, new subscriber!
How much was the fruit. N what place in Tampa? I would love to take the fsmily to try some before we plant a tree
So it’s been about 2 years since you uploaded this video. I’d love to see how large your tree has gotten. I’m trying to figure out where to plant my tree and I’m curious how big they can actually get.
Has anyone else cut open a papaya and there were no seeds inside? Is this normal?
Thanks for your video. I'm in zone 9b sw Florida, and I noticed something was getting into my papaya trees. I topped off my tress last year when they got right under 6 feet. My 2 trees have about 10 fruit on them. Tomorrow, Im going to inspect my trees hose down the fruit and spray them with neem oil. I have the same organza bags that I can use to cover any of the smaller fruits. I have been watching a lot of TH-cam videos on growing papaya trees and one said to thin out your papayas when they are just about 1 inch to allow space for your papayas to grow without touching each other which I did not do but its not to late for me to thin them. It's only been 1 year since I started growing papaya trees. I used the organza bags on my tomatoes last year and they worked to keep the birds and pest away.
I'm in Louisiana watching this video and I looked up and I'm proud my oak trees have a root flare visible. They are very old trees and I didn't plant them
With the green tiny mesh bags do they come in larger sizes to fit as the fruit grows?
Just suspend a bit of chook wire😂
How often muntingia tree fruits? What is the shelf life of muntingia fruits?
Where can i purchase these rootmaker pots?
For the ✨Fungus ✨ try using Colloidal Silver. It’s 100% natural, absolutely no toxicity, beneficial to growing tissue, and very effective at killing Fungus and other infections. You can spray it topically to treat the fungus (not in direct sun) and also water with colloidal silver. Positive results can be seen within days.
So how did it do when the winter cold snaps and not being able to fully protect it?
Did it work? Did the yellow passion fruit thrive and produce passion fruit ?
They are excellent for all types of plants, price is a lot cheaper these days than a few years ago since they are more common now. Really not much difference from regular pot prices now, about 20%-25% more expensive
What does "flush" mean at @5:35?
I use old washing machine drums as my air pruning pots the holes in these drums are small enough to Not really let the soilmix come out or cause any major drying out of the growing medium if you want you could paint them white to reduce heat build up. So far it's been working for the fruit trees I've grown in them & in the sunny Caribbean.
Where do you get the bags?
What about winter cold? What happens to unripe fruit on the tree during winter any suggestions?
Appreciate the info. I heard the papaya was extremely easy to grow from multiple sources, with zero advice as to difficulties. I am in north central Florida and have b÷n dealing with black spot since August. I used copper Fungicide and cut dying leaves, but would have cut them earlier had I known. Healthy leaves at top became smaller and smaller Cluster, so just cut plant in half eliminating all upper growth, hoping for a reset. Knowledgeable advice appreciated.
