Thank you! Best of luck with yours as well! I am going to try again next season and do them in a big pot I think, so that way I can try moving them inside and see if that makes a difference.

I don't use it anymore (I used it 3 years ago). However, its because I tore down my old chicken run and rebuilt it in a lower section of my property that is cooler and has shade 3/4 of the day, so I haven't had the need of it anymore.

Not in my experience. Generally, the leaves will just turn brown and fall off. My maple also stopped putting off leaves for the most part on the branches that were severely affected, and instead just produced the little "helicopter" seed pods as the tree was trying keep its species going before dying off. It eventually got to the point where one whole side of my tree was was pretty much all helicopters and no leaves. We had the tree taken down this past spring and replaced it with a Japanese Zeldova which isn't susceptible to verticillium wilt.

So probably not the best idea to pick cotton that isn't yours without permission. But now that you have seeds, you can grow your own next season. They normally germinate really well and are easy to grow.

@@oneseedoneworld I know😭‼️ but I let my impulsive thoughts win a lot so I did what I did 🥲 but I so will grow some cotton once I have a stable home

@@alanwexler54 You could always try one in a pot to see how it goes. You will need a decent sized pot since they get about 3 feet tall and maybe a couple feet around. And maybe put a stake in it to help give it some support. But they are self pollinating, so you could even grow one inside.

@@oneseedoneworld omg thank youuuu I always wanted to plant something but never got the chance to 😋😋😋😋 I’ll see what I can do!

I had a new one randomly sprout in a new flower/herb bed I put in this year. Bloomed every morning through most of the last month.

So sorry to hear that. Its definitely hard to lose ones from the flock when dealing with the disease. It can be managed, but there will be losses no matter what you do. I wish you the best with working through it!

I hope your flock does ok. If it is MG it can't be cured, but can be managed.

I have done it both ways. Both work. After multiple times, I will say its probably less messy to do it before freezing, but the skins do come off pretty easily after a freeze/thaw.

I appreciate the feedback and totally agree. My older videos I did a lot more yammering. :)

I need to look into this! Thanks for the info!

Thanks!

Cleaning can be a little tedious, although there are videos out there that show how to make your own mini cotton gin. I have a video in my cotton playlist as well that shows how we process ours.

Datura is fine for hummingbirds and bees. Many pollinators enjoy them.

@@oneseedoneworld Thank you for replying! I decided to pull them this morning. They were getting really crazy all over. I tried to be careful and not drop seeds, but am sure I will be dealing with them for years to come. Do you have a suggestion of what hummingbird/bee flowers I should get in that spot for next year that might block them a bit? Mine love Zinnia's. I want to get a really colorful, hearty, pretty perennial that can attract the hummingbirds every year.

@@DeedlesMcGee1 I actually don't do a lot with perrenials, so I don't have a good suggestion for that. I typically plant zinnia, celosia and cockscomb. They all readily reseed themselves each year, (especially the celosia) so it almost works like a perennial. I also planted 3 or 4 bee balm seedlings in a patch a few years ago and I now I have 50 or so in there. The hummingbirds love those, although they only bloom for about a month in the early summer.

Thank you! I did this video back when my channel was much smaller and wanted to just share some of my experiences and things I had learned at that point. One thing I have learned since then, is that these days shorter videos do seem to do better. I used to do videos that were much longer 30 minutes or more sometimes, but these days I think attention spans don't last that long. lol. Now I try to keep most of my videos under 15 minutes (and still have some people complain about how long they are). The biggest thing is posting on a regular basis (aim for at least once a week). The more you videos you do, you'll figure out what works best for how you want to do your channel. Thanks so much for your comment!

@oneseedoneworld Yes I heard that you had around 1500 Subs at the time of publishing this video so you've grown the channel nicely. Haha that's very true peoples attention spans are shocking now and don't want to watch anything long. I am the opposite though I love long form content. I might try similar and try and keep my videos not much longer than say 20mins. Thanks for the reply 👍

@@YorkshireTropics I wish the best with your channel!

@oceansinorbit Thank you very much!

@@YorkshireTropics I just realized I had responded to you from my other TH-cam account that I use for music stuff. lol But you're very welcome. Let me know if you have any other questions!

lol yes do your own research! I did the same thing though, when I planted it the first time a couple of years ago, just wanted to try a new plant and put it along one of the edges of my greenhouse. I didn't know of all of its uses until I planted the seedlings I got this year and did some research on it. I had just been planting it for pollinators and because it was pretty and smelled good.

I have not, but now I'm going to have to go look into it! Thank you for the suggestion!

Thank you!

Thank you! Sorry to hear about your maple. I definitely miss ours since we've now had it taken down. We replaced it with a 3 year old Japanese Zeldova which doesn't get the verticillium wilt.

@@oneseedoneworld ooh very nice choice!

I don't do anything to seal it. Around the bottom I started off with mulch which prevents the majority of runoff that may come out of the bottom, but since then I had wild strawberries move in and work as a ground cover that I just mow. I do probably lose some soil each year along with general settling, but it isn't anything major and every couple of years I top off my bed with a soil/compost mix.

@@oneseedoneworld I gotcha. Brilliant!

Bronchitis is something that can be healed up with proper treatment, where as the mycoplasma can not be gotten rid of (only managed).

@@oneseedoneworld I got a flock about 200 so it is convenient for me to vaccinate them and I did already order that product. Do you recommend and I am going to treat the whole flock with it

I haven't looked into a vaccine. For my smaller flock it probably wouldn't be cost effective.

What a great memory! The carding does take a little practice to get the hang of it :)

Thank you!

I just let mother nature do the watering for mine. But generally when I am watering the majority of my plants, I bottom water, a good soaking once or twice a week.

Less than 10 tomatoes? Or ones that weren't turning red. I had a rough year for tomatoes this year with all the extreme heat.

lol He is definitely a character!

Some people do have allergic reactions to this plant and wear gloves when handling. It varies from person to person.

Thanks! It took a while to pull all the old video files, but it was fun to make.

@@oneseedoneworld thats all that matters! (Most of the time anyway lol)

Thanks so much!

@@oneseedoneworld I noticed we have some similar garden beds made from galvanized panels. They have worked out well for me. You can see my gardens on my channel. Small garden, but those beds can produce a lot of good food.

@@zinnia3190 Nice! I just subscribed to your channel (I didn't realize you had videos uploaded before). I built my first beds with the galvanized panels back in 2018 and they're still doing great. My video on how to build them was my first video that really took off, lol. I think they are one of the better ways to do raised beds for how long they last.
