Where is the follow up video?
thank u so much wonderful..... I have been going nuts trying to figure something out for my one raised garden and my cucumbers and beans... thanks
🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's so good to see the progress over a period, that's what results look and feel like
Bro. Y'alls actual believe this?? It came off already when she wiped it. That's why she didn't continue.
I have a pressure canner but haven't used it yet. How long do I wait before removing processed jars from the water in the pot, right after the pressure is down, or do I wait till the glass jars are completely cooled off?
After the pressure is down, carefully remove the lid by lifting the back side to protect your face from left over steam. Let the jars sit in the open canner for 5 minutes or so before lifting them out - this helps them adjust to the cooler air and helps prevent "siphoning " . Then lift them out onto a towel or rack. Let them sit there 24 hous before removing the rings and wiping down your jars. Store them with their rings off in case there is a bad seal you will know. It is a safe and great way of preserving. I recommend two other helpful channels - Rose Red Homestead and Living Traditions Homestead, they have beginner play lists, too. 😊
Thanks for this video
I was questioning my hydrangea why petals are green. And I have found answer thanks to your video. Flower needs to be developed. Thank you so much!
Paper towels wet or dry?
Will they actually grow? There are bushes also but they are pretty dried out. That’s what we are standing here discussing lol😂 like take the risk right?
Did they germinate?
Did this end up working? Were there worms in there? Thanks! :)
Thank you so much 🙏🏻💗 love the llama float too 🦙
Thank you!!
This was very helpful! Thank you!
What city and how it the honor system doing. I could not do this in San Bernardino ca
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for sharing!
Looks good!!!
Thank you
Thank you for the grwat idea, im goin to try this method to plant potatoes, this is my first year doing veggies in my greenhouse so fingers cross 😊
Thank you so much this saved me from getting my ahh wohpped
looks great!
Thank you
How did you complete with the funnel and bottle
I found a cheap plastic funnel from Walmart and used it instead of the bottle. It was easier than my original plan of gluing the bottle to the pvc pipe.
thank you this is amazing!! i’ve had sharpie on my fridge for years and this worked like magic.
Glad it worked for you! You're welcome and have a great day!
I love your edger raised bed😊
Thank you!
Hi how are today Question: what is your Mulch called😊
I use pine shavings for mulch.
Did these survive the winter? We are in zone 6 and I'm not sure how well they will overwinter
Yes, they do. I am in zone 7a. I mulch them in the fall to keep the crowns safe.
:o I was under the impression that plants in pots wouldn't come back! I'm so excited!!
This lady is a genius
Thank you my friend!
🍎 🥤
That looks great! I was looking for a cheap DIY trellis for sweet baby watermelons and that is perfect. What a smart idea, thank you!
Fantastic video, exactly what I was looking for and shown exactly what I wanted to see. The soil we have is alkaline, so I've never had blue ones. I bought another one for a pot two years ago and the first year it was blue, I added some Sulphate of Iron but I obviously didn't had enough has the flowers were more pink than blue, a few blooms were blue but mostly pink. I've added a lot more than last time just recently so hopefully as winter passes that will permeate into the soil giving me blue flowers this year. Last year during summer I picked up a hydrangea that is red. I believe it has been modified to bloom red as they're a bloodish red rather than a pinky/blue "red".
I should've added that you planted it in a great place. Looks nice where it is. Mine grows up against a fence and looks like yours.
they dont have all those bulbs at ours, so sad
Excellent!
nice!
Thank you!
Very nice to have a pecan tree. Wow what an abundance. Stay warm.😊
Thank you! They came with the property and the trees are very old and huge. Stay warm as well.
Your Dollar Tree has a better selection of garden stuff than my Dollar Trees.
Great prices
awesome!💚💚
Thank you!
I love this, thank you so much. I have a rental property and the toddler scribbled all over a really nice refrigerator. I thought it was gonna be ruined. Thank you for your video genius
Great idea. Very creative. Enjoyed the video.
It's called nail polish remover. Don't even need to leave the house and way quicker than this method. 😊
Hello new friend. Hope you can join me as well. Beautiful harvest of green and Oriental long beans. I love the idea of a roadside stand. Peppers look amazing!
What's your soil ph for blue color? Thanks 🌹 💜
Their soil PH is irrelevant, it's what yours is. There are types of plants that you, a neighbour or someone in the neighbourhood might have that could indicate what type of soil. Hydrangea as an example will be pink in Alkaline or blue in Acidic. You could alternatively test your soil with Vinegar or Baking Soda. Take to cup samples of the soil you want to test, if you have a large area take multiple of 2 samples, so you'd take 2 cups from 1 end and 2 cups from the other, the size you're testing may require more or less cup samples. You take two cup samples from the same area because you're using Vinegar and Baking Soda to test a single source. Pour Vinegar into sample 1 of 2, if the soil bubbles then the soil has a pH higher than 7 (7pH is neutral). If the sample doesn't bubble then it is either neutral 7pH or is acidic 6pH or lower. Then with sample 2 of 2 you fill the cup with NEUTRAL water, this means the water MUST have a pH of 7. The reason is that if you don't do this it will give an incorrect reading as the water itself might be acidic or alkaline. Then you add a spoonful of baking soda to the cup. If it bubbles then the soil has a pH lower than 7. If it doesn't bubble then you have a pH of 7 (neutral) or higher. In short, if you follow these instructions properly then a bubbling sample 1 means it is alkaline as the pH is higher than 7. If it doesn't bubble then it might be neutral pH 7 or acidic pH 6 or lower. Sample 2, if it bubbles then the soil is acidic pH 6 or lower. If it doesn't bubble then you likely have a neutral soil so a soil pH of 7. Based on these results you can find out the soil pH and then decide if you need to add Lime or if you need to add acidity you would use Ferrous sulphate (sulphate of iron), Sulphur, Aluminium sulphate. Alternatively you could skip all this and plant a hydrangea and if by year 2 the flowers are still pink you have alkaline soil, if not and they stay or turn blue then you have acidic soil. If they stay pink then add aforementioned acidifier when specified and they'll be blue in year 3 and you must add an acid every year then on if you want blue flowers. As for when you'd use an acid I cannot say. I add mine during late winter but countries lower than Northern Hemisphere might need to add it at different times of the year.
How many pounds tomatoes did you start with? I have 25 lbs of tomatoes cooking down down right now.
Nice!!! Where are you located? I’m in 6b and I don’t think banana will make it through the winter here
Hi there, pleased to find another channel that is all about growing healthy veg. We do the same, although my husband does the heavy lifting and I produce loads of worm castings to give everything an extra boost and make the videos. My worm towers are 5 gallon food grade buckets with holes as you described and buried into our raised beds. The differences are I have holes in the lid for air, I started the buckets with 100 or so worms and I also add carbon along with the food scraps. My husband pulls them out of the garden twice a year and I put the castings anywhere I want, then we restock the bucket and start again! New subscriber here! ~ Sandra
I was so nervous about trying this but it worked! Ty!
Do the cups stay clean?
No, the cups get dirty. You will need to take the cups off and wash them.
Excellent!
Thank you, Mike.
Merli, it's a great harvest!!!
Thank you very much!
I love long bean. I started growing this year. I'm very excited. I see baby bean 🫛
So super exciting!
