    Even though you're gone dear sir, you are still helping some of us folks out here trying to carry on the tradition. Thank you.

    Harvested the final succession for the year of my QuickPik Purple Hulls yesterday. A staple part of The Gardens every year since I was introduced to 'em years back with this video. (They're not real popular up here in Ohio).
    Miss you Donald ...

    That sure beats bending down on your hands and knees planting them in. That's what I do, but I don't have any other choice but to do it that way. Thanks for sharing.

    i know this is unrelated, but i took your advice on re-planting the onions to get the bulbs going. they're coming out fabulous... better than the store... thanks

    Well done my friend! I don't know if I like anything better on a cold winters day than a plate of hot purple hull peas!!!!! Can't have too many!

    I learn so much by watching your videos, and keep gaining more knowledge with each viewing, and know how you do your planting and removing of weeds, and removing the crop after it has grown up. I hope you are having a nice week, and continued to be blessed by God.

    So beautiful, I love to watch your gardens grow.

    Hey Jeff and Deb, with a one acre garden you can probably grow enough for several families. You’ll certainly be able to can enough to last till next season. Good luck and glad the videos helped…..Donald

    I've never seen a plow that actually made a hill. That's a cool piece of equipment. We always just used a 2 row corn planter to lay off the garden. thumbs up!

    Hey Donald, get you a peice of pvc pipe 1/2 is a good size. Cut the lenght so you can sit in your cart. Put the pvc where you want the seed and drop it down the pipe. Pretty simple and easy on the back. You can do this standing up also.

    Hey there Mr Donald those peas look good this year I am going to plant some cause its been about 5 years since I grew any.I love the taste of them and they will bear till frost kills them.

    • @webcajun

  • @webcajun
    @webcajun  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @tastycajun0381 ...Is there a well on the place? If not you'll have to get one drilled. Then you'll have to run pipe to the garden. Drip irrigation (T-tape) would then be the way to go.....Donald

    We have watched your videos for almost two years. We've had two 1000 sq ft test gardens. Now we're stepping up our game to one acre thanks to your guidance via TH-cam. Please those videos coming! Jeff and Deb

  • @sammys70
    @sammys70 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just planted these peas last weekend,and i believe i planted my rows too thick.I'm not sure how far each plant should be spaced,but i always seem to plant more seeds than is required to be safe.

  • @webcajun

    @sp00ktube ...I try to keep the garden tilled to keep the grass and weeds down. I like to give it a final tilling right before drawing rows to have as clean a seed bed as possible. No rocks here in Louisiana......Donald

  • @webcajun

    @anyusmoon1 ...The soil was right, the time was right, all that makes a big difference. Some of those plants were pushing dirt 3-4 days after planting. Thanks.......Donald

  • @sulaearts
    @sulaearts 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Loved the video. We are doing the same here...only...we are in Idaho and are just seeing the sugar snaps come up. The growing season in Louisiana is great. But the heat...oh gracious...the heat. I'm originally from Monroe. Here in Nampa Idaho now. Going to plant the purple hulls in about a week...first planting...probably only planting.

  • @webcajun
    @webcajun  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @rolledthatho ...For dried peas just leave the pods on the plant till they turn brown. For fresh peas I pick when the pods are half way purple. They are a bush type plant so just let em grow.......Donald

By the way, you didn't mention anything in this clip about fertilizing when you planted the peas... or do you ??? thank a ton Donald.

    Hey Donald gotta harvesting question for you. i would to allow half of my peas to fully mature and dry, that way i have dried beans that can last forever whenever i want to cook them, but for the peas i want to shell and eat fresh how can i tell when to pick them? i dont really know what to look for when it comes to picking fresh or even letting them go longer and pick dried. any help would be appreciated. also do i need to trelace them at all or just all natural growth?

    Love the videos... Will be picking the 1st crop of Mississippi Silver Skin peas probably the middle of next week or beginning of the week after... The Knuckle Purple Hull peas sin't near about being ready yet. Both varieties of peas were planted on the same day in the same spot... I've never ate either of these varieties before though...
    I have pictures of my garden... Would love for you to look at them somehow.... Do you belong to tractorbynetDOTcom ?? I have pics uploaded on that website...

  • @markhess
    @markhess 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video as always! Any tips on switching out tractor implements quickly? I have a quick hitch but, unfortunately, it does not fit my mower, which I have to use every week. Are there kits for 3 pt implements that don't work with a quick hitch to make them work? I've already looked through my Stevens Tractor catalog with no luck! - Mark

    @sammys70 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @webcajun Thanks Donald.I have to really go into my garden now and thin my peas out.This is my first time growing them.I wanted to ask you how much water should i keep on my garden?I live in south carolina and right now the weather is very hot and dry so i've been putting the water on my plants constantly.Thanks

  • @sammys70
    @sammys70 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I planted my peas about 3 weeks ago.Last week we had a few cold nights,and some of the leaves on my peas turned brown,and others wilted from the cold.They are still living,but mos tof them look bad.The weather here is very hot now,but i was just wondering if i need to go ahead and re-plant my garden,or will the peas keep growing and turn back to normal?

    @anyusmoon1 ...You'll notice lots of space between my rows. Because I have so much area to work with, i'll plant a row, skip a row. This leaves plenty room to get back in there with the tiller. What the tiller or cultivator doesn't take out I get with a hoe. I guess the secret (if you want to call it that) is start with a clean row and get the grass and weeds when they are still small. Hooke n Crooke make one of the best garden hoes out there today. You'll be seeing it in the videos....Donald
