New vegetable growing space while the harvests are being decimated by a new pest! Organic Gardening

- What a difference a couple of days beautiful weather does to the garden. I have finally planted up the corn, pumpkins and squashes. Also found a new home for the Yakon plants and planted the celery ''Utah''. The biggest change was on the field side though, preparing new growing space there and adding new raised beds.
Unfortunately all of my purple cauliflower and Brokali plants have been decimated by a new pest in the garden...

I'm so glad your garden brings you joy - that's why we all do it, hopefully. Loving watching how you are developing your beautiful and productive garden
Thank you so much 😊💚🌿 Very kind of you 🥰
Morning Maiju,
Thank goodness it is starting to warm up...I was beginning to think we wouldn't be getting any sumner this year!
It is a shame about the cabbage root fly, but at least you know they are there and can tackle the issue going forward. I love the new beds, your squash will absolutely thrive in that spot.
Enjoy your Sunday.
Take care, Annie 🐞 🐝 🌱
Thank you, Annie 😊💚🌿 The weather has just been heavenly over the few days, so nice!
Lets hope the weather stays warm long enough for the pumpkins to grow and the winds are not too severe, as the field side is still quite open to the elements because the trees are still small and won't provide any protection.
Have a great week! 😊💚🌿
The new garden beds are in a great location! I had to chuckle when your dog and chickens were following you around...so cute!
Thank you so much 🥰 I think our dog gets jealous when the chickens come near me, as he really starts demanding the ball to be thrown 😂, otherwise he can be quite chill while I'm gardening and filming 😊💚🌿
New growing space expansion looks fantastic! Well done! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💚🌱Will
Thank you 🥰 Slowly. slowly expanding to experiment with more veggies 💚🌿😊
Great video as always. I loved the shot of the chicken. Lovely colour. A prize winner!! 8:54 Hopefully you will like the cosmos. It is an amazing plant. Only an annual though. Thank you.
Thank you 🥰 She's the main boss! Goldie 😀 The biggest and very calm, not mean and very fair. The black ones are the youngest, really fast and like kittens zooming around you and always make me worry, I'll step on them ❤️
@@spudsandroses Thank you for your lovely explanation, it makes me smile thinking of their individual characters . It is great to know more about them. Hopefully the cosmos will flower soon. It might be a good candidate for the country garden area. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week!! 🙂
@@user-mc9tq7zk7s 🥰 Thank you! Have a great week, too! 💚
Shame about the root fly, i should have looked at mine closer as i had some which were dodgy looking but i jus pulled them out and put something else in its place. Cardboard collars work apparently.👍👌
Thank you, Nick 😊💚🌿
Those buggers were even too small to pick out of the soil and feed to the hens 😂 all the sowing and growing wouldn't have gone to waste then, but I've learnt my lesson for sure 😊💚🌿
💖💖💖💖💖💖👌👌
Thank you very much 😊💚🌿
I have those crates too for my raised beds, they're great! Looks fab! :)
They're very handy 😀 especially because they're stackable for a taller bed, but I rather prefer 3 equal low ones 😊💚🌿
Hello Maiju.
What a lovely video. Always enjoy watching and following along with you. Sorry about the cabbage root fly. A lesson for all of us, so thank you for sharing that.
The new pallet collars are lovely and that extra growing area sits so lovely amongst the rest of your growing space.
The hens make me howl. They’re so nosy and hopeful of pests, they’re leaky under your feet and the dangerous edge of the spade 😂
Spuds… oh buddy. You are such a funny goofball
Have a great week. Enjoy the warmer weather ❤
Thank you, Clare 🤗💚🌿
Such a lovely comment 🥰 The hens are so fast and fearless of me moving around or digging etc, at the hope of getting some worms. I was delighted they were around me this time as the leatherjackets out of the grass edging were huge!
The Cabbage root fly was a disappointment, indeed. Knowing they are going to be an issue, will make me think more thoroughly about my growing for next year. This year I'll just continue like nothing ever happened 😂😂
I hope you get to enjoy some of this summer weather, too 😊💚🌿
Have a great week and best wishes, Maiju 😊💚🌿
Hi Maiju, those new beds look good with the pumpkins and squashes in.
There's so many pest now, we will end up with fine mesh over everything.
Thank you, Ady 😊 You are unfortunately correct on this, it seems they're all after the organic stuff, same as us 😂💚
Just need to keep planting more flowers for the pollinators and mesh the rest for ourselves 😊💚🌿
That’s a great looking garden!
Thank you very much, very kind of you 😊💚🌿
Ah you talk so calmly about the cabbage root fly - I would be moaning and groaning!! 😂 Glad it's only those two areas though and you have other unaffected. The new beds look great - joint efforts with Spuds and the chucks! Watching you edge the grass 😂😂 - this is where I go wrong - no attn to detail!! Lovely video and great progress on the garden. Can't wait until the entire field is market garden raised beds 🥰😜🤪
🥰🥰🤗
Market Garden 😂😂 I'll be more like all of the Instagram reels - a 500 Dollar Strawberry, or a 200 dollar onion! For the money and effort that has gone into it just to feed the wildlife😜...
I know we have the space, but I ain't got the patience honey to edge all of the beds! 🤭🤭
I do like a sharp edge on a border or on a veggie bed though 😊
There are so many pests, no wonder there are so many chemicals developed to get rid of them ☠️
I'll keep my little organic corner and hope they'll leave something for us to eat, too 😂💚🌿
Lovely update Maiju 🌱. Cabbage rootfly is bit of a nightmare. I have it here and even using brassica collars I still loose a couple now and again. In the early days not using collars I lost everything, was like why are all my cabbages wilting 😂😂.
Love the pallet collars, looks very neat and tidy 😍. The chickens helping out are pretty cute too!
What is the plant behind you at the beginning covered in blue flowers? Thought it was an echium at first glance but no, nepeta? 🌱🌱
Lovely update Maiju ❤
Shame about the cabbage root fly hope you can sort that problem out.
Turnips look nice and healthy and your garlic.
Nice renewable raised beds you have there. I see the chickens approve too 😂
Planted some Ica recently, Oca always reminds me of you 😊
Have a great week ❤
Thank you, Linda 🤗💚🌿It's definitely a shared system with the garden pests this year, some for them and some for us 😂🤭 The diseases are yet to create havoc...that' s why we have Oca 😂
I hope it grows well for you and you'll like the taste of it 😊 So far it is growing really well here 😊💚🌿
@@spudsandroses Maiju I think I'm going to like Oca. I tried a leaf and liked the nice lemony flavour and a piece of oca bulb fell off so I washed and ate it, it was lovely so definitely a thumbs up.👍
Blinking slugs, they're eating more than us. They ate all the lettuce bar one and even then tonight I found 3 slugs on there! The oregano pellets worked fab for the brassicas and ok for the beans but devoured all my marigolds and lettuce 😳 I've taken the net off them now so hopefully our little frog will find any slugs that's left🤞
❤️🌱🐔
Thank you very much 😊💚🌿
Utah Tall is my favorite celery, though Tango has also been very tasty. I'm growing both this year.
Love the new pallet collar beds....it fits right in.
Thank you, Robin 😊💚🌿Ive never grown celery before, it really will be a first! We don't eat that much of it, but I wanted to grow it for juicing. Fingers crossed, they'll do great. They seem to be attracted to carrot root fly, but I don't have that bed meshed.... do you find any specific pests going after the celery?😊💚🌿
@@spudsandroses Not here in Chicagoland. It's one crop I don't have to fuss over. They are thirsty monsters though.
@@RobinGardens Love to hear that! 😀 I'm all about unfussy, the roses being divas is enough to manage with already 😂 And we usually get plenty of rain 🤭
Weevils are similar 😢 I have had those here and are a real pain. Hopefully you can find a solution to this, I’m going to be doing winter tilling to help kill off larvae and eggs in my soil. Happier Sunday than this Maiju, Ali 🌞🇨🇦
Thank you, Ali 😊💚🌿 I have weevils, too 😒 Very unpleasant because how easily they populate an area and how big of a damage they do under the soil.... So now I just have to add the Cabbage root fly to the garden enemies list 😂
Have a great week! Best wishes, Maiju 😊💚🌿
The new raised beds look great! Where did you get them from?
Thank you 😊💚🌿 They came through my hubby's work place, these were used to courier renewable energy parts from Sweden. I haven't come across them before, they're very well finished and really smooth - no splinters.
Even if I get a couple of seasons out of them, they'll be worth it 😊
oh i love the metal hoops and net! if you don't mind me asking where did you purchase them? or do you know their name? haven't came across ones as big as those in my local garden centre
Hi 😀 I ordered them online from Gardening Naturally (UK) High tunnel hoops, the tallest they had available 💚 the butterfly net is also from them 😊
@@spudsandroses thank you!
