You have a good point with people obsessing over little holes, etc. but some people- like me- are probably not worrying b/c they're seeking perfection, we're trying to be proactive b/c we either see videos everyday that say to get ahead of the problem BEFORE it becomes a huge infestation or we've had plants quickly go from big, lush, & beautiful, to infested with a certain pest, fungus, etc.
This is fantastic. Im a beginner. Noticed my bell pepper leaves are curling just a tad but none of my other peppers are. Instantly went to MIgardener page and found this video before i worried.information folks! here is where it is. Thanks again.
A good analogy would be the human skin. Even healthy skin has freckles, mole, scrapes, cuts etc. And just like our skin survives (as well as our bodies) so do the plants. Good video sir.
Hey Luke. I think that, what great about your videos is that they're a very good preparation especially for new gardeners because they'll get a good understanding of what to to expect, what to look out for at what not to worry about, in different types of gardens. Since last summer when I came across your channel, I've been watching your videos on a daily basis to be a 100% sure on what to do and what to expect for my first time gardening on my own. And even though I only had a west facing windowsill, no fertilizer and most of the flowers on my pepper plant fell of, I couldn't get more happy when I saw the first pepper forming and that 3-4 weeks later, 4 more peppers started forming, I would definitely call that a successful grow. And I now have a lot experience to take with me for the next season.
Good message! I have Mason Bee's in the back yard and never mind about the circular holes they cut from the edges of leaves and in fact it makes me feel good to know they are thriving. Now spider mites, however....I bring out the organic pesticide for those villains because they can wipe out everything. No amount of spraying them with strong jets of water, leafing-up from the ground, practicing good garden hygiene or keeping plants fully watered seems to stop them in my yard. They go after all my soft-needled evergreens, rhododendrons, roses, fruiting shrubs and everything in my veggie garden. The attack starts in early July and I fight it till first frost.
Great video! I share this type of zen approach to gardening. As long as I plant a wide diversity of plant species using diverse methods of planting, I never need to worry about anything, it is almost becoming a balanced functional ecosystem. Happy Gardening, cheers!
People in Japan were paying more for foods with pest bites because they knew if bugs we're eating it, it was most likely safe for them to eat. Something to think about.
I have seedling hot peppers, all different strains and new growth is curling on most. Gonna take this advice and not worry. I hope I don't lose everything. Thanks for the video!
Ended up here while looking for reasons why my pretty mint baby might have tiny holes in 1% of leaves or why few are slightly "misshaped". Curling champion is my UFO/peperomiad so I will move her, find another spot with less sun. Happy I found this video, thank you! Happy planting everyone ❤
Leaves are curling and yellowish black. Other seedlings are just curling but still green. Soil is fine not wet just cool and moist. It is pretty hot tho hit 90 whole week
I saw a couple little nibbles on my green beans and figured it's just the Vig for gardening 😂 This helped me accept that a few bites doesn't mean doom for my plant.
I do not use pesticide on my garden! Yes I have a few holes in leaves, even the loss of 2 plants this year. But nature takes care of its self if you get the heck out of the way. :)
this year has been the least bug pressure ive had growing in Alaska. but i added leaf mold and fall leaves to my beds this year and created a very fungal dominant environment in the rootzone as well as lots of worm castings which have benefical nematodes and protazoa and bacteria
Plants have survived for thousands of millennia with holes and tears and damage long before humans ever started cultivating them, or even existed, so a bit of curl or a small hole here and there, it's no problem... :)
Early in the video you said this info was for beginning gardeners. (Like me.) Then you ranted that we don't know when to worry! Of course we're going to worry that holes in the leaves, curling etc are the beginning of a big problem. Gardening sites don't tell you to expect this. So I clicked on video for information and got scolded! Just calmly show us .... "Don't worry about this but if you see this other thing then you should take action." Thank you.
I appreciate your expertise, and free guidance. I do believe though, you could tighten up your video. I like the facts. To the point. Tomatoes, not leaves. 🤟🏼
How about adding earth worms and lady bugs to potted plants. Worms stir up the soil and provide fertilizer and Lady bugs eat harmful bugs. Also banana peels soaked in water for three days and strained makes good non-burning liquid fertilizer. Your opinion is appreciated
This is me 😂😂! I have perfect plants and I saw a few little green bugs which I think are momma aphids and I brought out the big guns and sprayed all my plants with Neem oil! They better be gone tomorrow 😂😂
MI. You are so knowledgeable. I love your program. I am in Socal. On the other side of the united states. You have and give valuable info. Us new gardners worry. I over watered, etc. We at this climate learn to apply your knowledge to our climate. Always have to adjust to the present climate. Socal has had a very strange climate this year. Strangely humid. I love your program. Thanks. I will continue to watch.
I have tiny pinholes in my peppers and when I cut them open there is a tiny whitish wormlike thing in it, some of the peppers just fall off the plant and rotten inside. What is it and what do to get rid of them?
Leaf curl can be a sign of too much water. If that's a mushroom growing near the tomato, I'm betting that's what it is. But overall, very helpful video. Great points. Thank you.
This was very helpful as a fellow gardener and youtuber. Im growing cucumbers, tomatoes, okra etc and I thought I was going something wrong. Thank you make more. ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
Almost all my basil leaves were wrinkly, indoors under a (south facing) 7' picture window. I put it under outdoor sunlight, within less than 30 minutes almost all the leaves are now normal looking. Only the top few leaves are still wrinkly. Crazy!
Took your advice about trimming off zucchini leaves to cut down on fungus on leaves and even after afew days it was much better. So I tried it on my broccoli to get it to flower. Within a few days got flowers to eat. Thanks .
I'm getting leaf curl just as you showed and was freaking out. Then you said, "high winds." I live next to a canyon and I get a lot of wind periodically. I have slowly, slowly, found out to watch the top of the plant and see if those leaves curled too and they're not. Thank you, thank you.
Hahahha...I'm guity of worrying about tiny holes and leaf curls, especially on pepper and tomato plants. But after watching this, I will STOP worrying.
Organic gardening will always be more inviting to insects that want to eat your crops, but if its small holes just look for the culprits. Not a big deal unless your plant is already a goner.
I like seeing wasps hanging around my tomatoe plants that means they are hunting insects like ants the only place I don't like to seem them is on my home
as a home owner I changed mood towards the meat eating bugs cuz they love the vegan bugs as well as the termite eggs and ants etc. like spiders, I don't bother them (to much) and they don't bother me (too much) kinda like my attitude towards humans. lol.
Matthew Niedbala Wasps are insects. Power drills use electricity. Basil is an herb. Clouds are made of water. Aaaaaaaand cookies are usually not healthy
Only thing I’m worrying about is blossom end rot. I think it’s just too hot and my pots are drying out. Already watering once a day. Got good soil and using trifecta so I don’t think it’s lack of calcium in the soil so it’s probably water.
Dylan Griggs I think you are probably right-if ur using trifecta and it's applied according to the directions,-ie you applied enough, I would think the problem is not enough water. I had blossom end rot last season, I can't afford trifecta with shipping costs as I'm in Australia, but i had better results with increasing the water I gave the plants-good luck!
Thanks for the tip's. my tomatoes have leaves that cruel near the bottom, thought it might be from over watering but if I don't water them every morning they start to wilt. this video helped me so now I won't have to worry.
thanks Luke. I have to say that I am very happy with the seeds I got.. The beans are very bountiful! love them.. the herbs are also growing nicely.. very happy.. well done.. From Saskatchewan Canada
Thanks for this video. You were talking about small nibbling on large plants. I have about 185 Boston Ivy plants right now. They are about 1.5 inches tall. But about 3 of them have leaves with holes in the center of the leaves. There is not an nibbling at the edges of leaves. Your plants are huge. Mine are tiny, and those holes look BIG on tiny plants. I wonder if that factor might make my tiny plants in danger because they are tiny. Does the tiny factor give me a reason to worry ? And, based upon holes in the centers of leaves rather than on the edges, tell me who the culprit is ? If I knew the culprit, I might know how to respond accordingly. .
I want to ask a question...how would a cut worm get into my pond? On a floating island????? LOL. This little worm ate every tiny stalk of my floating whatever it was and I have no idea how he got in there. Was it raining worms? I am very serious except for the raining worms part. But how would a cut worm get into a concrete pond?
jennie thompson I know it’s been a year... but cut worms are baby moths (moth caterpillars), so a moth flew over and laid eggs on your floating plants.
Ya great video, I work in a Nursery and get asked the same questions and people see minor yellowing on the bottom leaves and they freek out,but it's better to under feed than over feed and burn your plants
Thank you sooooo munch....one of my potatoes had leave curl since it’s been like this since it was small and not one other plant near it was being effected I left it..
I'm not worried about all that other stuff you were talking about I have been trying to do some research I have grown green beans so many times and then this year I have found that the leaves the young leaves off my green bean plants are being chewed off is there some way or something that has been taking advantage of them and is there a cure to stop it??🙏💚
That leaf curling on the bottom with beautiful new growth is identical to some of my tomatoes. Thank you and boy am I glad I checked with you before I checked with Dr. Google! I laughed like crazy because as a new gardener that is where I would have started. Glad I know that you are smarter than Dr. Googlepants! As always I enjoyed this video.
Hello, I have tried potatoes in a barrel, the first time this year. I planted three types. looking beautiful lush and green 10/12" tall then tiny holes everywhere, I can't see any bugs. but slowly I have had to fully cut the stalk back. I am concerned it will move to the rest of my garden. I do see it a lil on one of my tomato plants.? any suggestions? please.
Yes very true..we tend to focus on small 20% problem where 80% of our plant is in well conditon. In order to cure that 20% we loose that 80% also..so Look the plant as a whole..just leave it that way.it will all good..
hello, interesting and it gives me some relief to know that curly leaves are no problem, but I want to ask you ,, I have a Habanero in Hydroponics they are sprouting the flowers are beautiful white but there are very curly leaves what can be, I have PH 6, 0 EC 1400 fan and humidity at 65% .. thanks
very helpful video...this is my first season gardening and sticking with three types of peppers, Tomatoes, lemon tree from seed, and a random red potato plant that grew from scraps that missed the mulch pile. I live in North Florida where during the summer months, rain and high wind are going to be about every single day. my Bell pepper and chili pepper plants have some leaf curl, but mostly yellow'ish discoloration. the peppers come out amazing and overall they seem to be healthy and continue to produce. I assume its from the major amounts of water from all the rain but everytime I start to google it..the pinned post happens. any insight from anyone here would be greatly appreciated on confirming or adding to my theory!
I've never seen this on my Tomato's. Alot of pin holes on most of the leaves. It's mostly on the bottom half of the plant. It has gone to the other tomato plant next to it. They are both potted. Any ideas. I would think if it's a bug/worm they'd strip the leaves. I've companion planted with basil, marigold. Mint is nearby.
The leaf curl was very helpful. I've noticed on my tomatoes that it is always the older big leaves near the bottom that curl. I usually just pull them off. Should I be doing that or does that cause more harm than good? Thanks.
Ive got some major holes in my celery its in the window inside but the stems look fine but the kafs have major holes in them, i was planning on eating it but depemds about the kwafs at the end, garluc, and cayenne pepper in a sprayer bottle will fix most pests anyways, amd yeah keaf curks heat problems only but major holws like i have saus i have a problem need buy a sprayer today i do
Oh so i haven't watched the whole video... We have 3 lantana plants that have hundreds of holes throughout the plants they are in an open garden area with many other plants, flowers whose leaves are fine. I have one on the front porch partial shade and sun that are perfectly fine.
I've got small black specks on the underside of some half chewed pepper leaves and what looks like small webs. I didn't see the black specks moving, so either eggs or bug poo?
Could you help me out as a new gardener? I just noticed my pepper plants are black on the stem where it meets a branch. Is this normal? They’ve only been in the ground a little over 2 weeks. Not sure what to do, if anything??
I had caterpillars on a hydrangea that eat the entire shrub. it was a tall shrub too. You say don't worry but it ate the whole plant. Same thing last year. I would love to show you a photo but don't know to email you a photo. I don't think it was leaf tier cause the leaves were not curled at all.
I sprayed my yellow squash with diluted detergent because of a few white flies. I ended up burning the leaves. I worried too much and almost killed my squash LOL
hi. my potato plants are curling on new growth before it has a leaf? Should i worry? I planted the potatoes in the same soil where my tomatos wer and they had that wierd green catapillar bug? thanks for your advice
something is eating holes in the middle of my basil and pepper plant leaves and I cannot find any bugs or slugs around it! Any idea what is causing this and how to stop it?
My Darling i hope you are. I have a Question for you. Some of our Sunflower lower leaves are turning yellow, they are in the Sun for quite a few hours a day, do you think it could be overwatering? We have really hot weather at the moment. Quite large holes in some Sunflower leaves but i am treating them Organically. I really enjoy your Vlogs. ❤🌻🌼🦋🐞 love to your r family x
I have what is probably a really dumb question hoping someone can answer. My friend brought her kids over and we let the kids play outside. When I went to checknin them her children had comoletely destroyed my garden (my friend was mortified and felt horrible). Fruits and veggies picked thrown around and stompd on. Only 1 of my tomato plants survived however just barely as it has a broken stem...the only stem with tomatoes on it. Is there a way to stimulate or get it to "heal" or scab back together? I thought I had seen my grandma do it a few times growing up.
Waitt. What if there are holes the leaves of all the plants that were in physical contact with one another except for the orchids and it started with the lime plant?
Dr. Google: Either you burned your mouth or you have throat cancer. You either sprained your ankle or you're in end stage bone cancer.

Too accurate XD this actually made me laugh out loud.

I've never seen this on my Tomato's. Alot of pin holes on most of the leaves. It's mostly on the bottom half of the plant. It has gone to the other tomato plant next to it. They are both potted. Any ideas. I would think if it's a bug/worm they'd strip the leaves. I've companion planted with basil, marigold. Mint is nearby.
The leaf curl was very helpful. I've noticed on my tomatoes that it is always the older big leaves near the bottom that curl. I usually just pull them off. Should I be doing that or does that cause more harm than good? Thanks.
I saw a hole on the stem of my tomato maybe about 1/4 inch. First time growing so I was disturbed by the sight.
Better to help a healthy plant before it gets inundated. Most people don't worry too much until they see the plants failing to thrive.
Ive got some major holes in my celery its in the window inside but the stems look fine but the kafs have major holes in them, i was planning on eating it but depemds about the kwafs at the end, garluc, and cayenne pepper in a sprayer bottle will fix most pests anyways, amd yeah keaf curks heat problems only but major holws like i have saus i have a problem need buy a sprayer today i do
Oh so i haven't watched the whole video... We have 3 lantana plants that have hundreds of holes throughout the plants they are in an open garden area with many other plants, flowers whose leaves are fine.
I have one on the front porch partial shade and sun that are perfectly fine.
I've got small black specks on the underside of some half chewed pepper leaves and what looks like small webs. I didn't see the black specks moving, so either eggs or bug poo?
Could you help me out as a new gardener? I just noticed my pepper plants are black on the stem where it meets a branch. Is this normal? They’ve only been in the ground a little over 2 weeks. Not sure what to do, if anything??
I had caterpillars on a hydrangea that eat the entire shrub. it was a tall shrub too. You say don't worry but it ate the whole plant. Same thing last year. I would love to show you a photo but don't know to email you a photo. I don't think it was leaf tier cause the leaves were not curled at all.
my problem is small plants that are still new and growing get holes in leafs with no insects or slugs visible during the day or night
I sprayed my yellow squash with diluted detergent because of a few white flies. I ended up burning the leaves. I worried too much and almost killed my squash LOL
What does it mean if your leaves are curling down a bit?
hi. my potato plants are curling on new growth before it has a leaf? Should i worry? I planted the potatoes in the same soil where my tomatos wer and they had that wierd green catapillar bug?
thanks for your advice
Awesome video!
i have what looks like burrs on my spinach plants. Any idea what they may be?
something is eating holes in the middle of my basil and pepper plant leaves and I cannot find any bugs or slugs around it! Any idea what is causing this and how to stop it?
Preaching to the enneagram 1 gardener 😬🙋🏻♀️
My Darling i hope you are. I have a Question for you. Some of our Sunflower lower leaves are turning yellow, they are in the Sun for quite a few hours a day, do you think it could be overwatering? We have really hot weather at the moment. Quite large holes in some Sunflower leaves but i am treating them Organically. I really enjoy your Vlogs. ❤🌻🌼🦋🐞 love to your r family x
I have what is probably a really dumb question hoping someone can answer. My friend brought her kids over and we let the kids play outside. When I went to checknin them her children had comoletely destroyed my garden (my friend was mortified and felt horrible). Fruits and veggies picked thrown around and stompd on. Only 1 of my tomato plants survived however just barely as it has a broken stem...the only stem with tomatoes on it. Is there a way to stimulate or get it to "heal" or scab back together? I thought I had seen my grandma do it a few times growing up.
Take a limb from each kid, compost it and feed the plants. Serves as a warning to the kids and a fertilizer.
Waitt. What if there are holes the leaves of all the plants that were in physical contact with one another except for the orchids and it started with the lime plant?
How do I fix purple tomatoe leaves or this not to worry about?
