I love how happy he gets and perks up when asked about different plants, wish he was a relative I could talk to and pick his brain for valuable information 😂
Jing Okra does wonderful in large (22 gallon) pots. Tender and tastes great when picked at 3 to 5 inches. It's red but green after cooking. The plants and blooms are beautiful and I pair it with parsley and basil in large pots in my front foundation plants...just keep them lush and trimmed. So pretty, and I use the parsley for cooking year round...the freezes in Houston don't even phase it.
Also, The sound coming from Skip is at a good level, but when the host of the show starts speaking, her voice is so loud. We are literally having to turn up sound to hear Skip 🔊and frantically lower 🔈the sound of hostesses voice! How about a sound check next time. On a lighter note, Great informative video. Love the Garden!!!
What could understood on this video was wonderfully informative. Sadly the second part was not understandable…. But what I could,…. with much difficulty, understand was so knowledgeable. Thank you for at least that much information.
Jute is the common English name of the middle eastern malakia that he said. Really grows well, bake it before adding to soups or stir fries to knock down the slime. Same for malabar and okra
I appreciate this, as I am a fairly new gardener here in East Texas, and I'm just getting started with edible landscaping and heavy clay soil. I'm looking for all the info I can get! :)
The soil in Texas varies drastically, depending on specific location. Also when they build new homes and clear land, they scrape off aallllll the good topsoil so you basically have to start from scratch. I have clay with pockets of sand. Start building on it now. Anytime you have some extra money and/or time, just start throwing down some organic mulch here and there, and occasionally compost, right on top of the clay. The more, the better. Also, drainage. Really pay attention to anywhere water pools when it rains, because it just sits on that damn clay and will drown out your plants if you don't improve the water flow in the area. Those are the most important steps before doing anything down here. I've been slowly working on mine for years, but I have pretty huge beds I've been building up. It's a process, lots of sweat, but it's such a great feeling when you first go to dig for spring planting, and see how it's been magically transformed into beautiful, rich soil. ...or just build raised beds. 🙃😂
A great informational video...I think, guys. But really, do we have ANYONE here in Texas that is able to produce content for Texas gardeners that is informational AND good AUDIO/VISUALLY? What's the deal? We get either/or , OR alot of neither!!!
QUESTION: can you plant pole beans with okra and allow it to climb up the okra? If so, would you plant the okra before the pole beans and I’d so how big should the okra be before you do? Thank you in advance.
Pill bugs love dragon tongue beans. They devour the beans that touch the ground and later the stems of the plant. Be cautious with that variety or plant a different bush bean instead if you don't want the hassle.
So much great information, too bad nearly half of the video is inaudible. Wish there was a version of this video prerecorded rather than Facebook Live, which rarely streams without issues 😒
Thanks for tips in Texas heat...I’m near Galveston...and don’t have a green thumb, but very willing to learn! Maxi is the mini schnauzer btw..I’m Karen
I just hate it when my tube is swollen and I can't get it to drip properly! ahahaha hahaha 🤣😂🤣. So no skeet skeet skeeting.. That's bad for the plants... Instead I'll make it rain on the ground only.. but I could have sworn spilling your seed on the ground was bad but then it's the garden so I guess it's okay! 😂😂🎉😂
You said you painted something tomato red for the birds. The video is bad just enough that I don’t know what you painted, just that the mockingbirds don’t like it. Anyone hear that part?
Thank you for such a helpful video! I'm new to gardening and really appreciate learning what to grow in this heat. Btw, your pronunciation of mulukhiyah was great :)
U think the sound is horrible..have u driven on an aggie.designed road...animals they are great with...and plants...but evidently their audio visual department head should be fired.
@@laurelweiner8 well, that's what I've been told and I even bought seeds from bakers Creek. They suggest you harvest before blooming to limit the spread. Ha They came up beautifully in some pots and when I was getting ready to harvest some, an insect ate all the leaves off so I have a bunch of stems?! I see beautiful sprawling plants in places where I wouldn't dare harvest it, like industrial areas. I can grow peppers (don't like sweet ones though), okra, tomatoes as long as they're small, radishes and blackberries. Ha ha I want to grow greens at home. The European cabbage moth is the bane of my existence! Hope you get to enjoy lots of lovely purslane. Cheers
I have mine in a weird spot that get some sun and then shade and then some sun again. There are 2 big trees not far away. Most of the sunny time is morning sun. They are doing really well here in SW Houston.
Do you mean touching them irritates your skin? Or something even worse? I get red and itchy so I just pick super carefully with a long sleeve on and a glove. Okra never bothers my mouth or even if I eat it raw. You?
was enjoying until 2nd half of video which was completely garbled. why even post that part? re-record or cut it. very frustrating as it seemed there was a lot of good q&a that we all missed.
So sad the video stopped working about halfway of the video. So much good information. I'm in Corpus Christi Texas

I love his enthusiasm cause that’s how I feel about growing my own veggies
Blackberry not producing on old branch does it apply to all blackberry plants?

I am not sure what went wrong but both picture and sound are awful on this video. Need a better camera? and put a real mic on him please.

Thinking the fact that it was a live video didnt help. When internet connection isn’t perfect it can ruin video quality.

No offense but the video on this was TERRIBLE.
Salado TX, thank you so much! Don't stop your videos, now is the time to share.

I’m not perfect! But our quality is pretty good
did you record it with a potatoe too cuz the quality is horrible

2nd half was unwatchable. no idea why they didn't cut it or re-record off-line once they realized the video feed was broken.
I'm in San Antonio TX
great stuff but around 31 minutes the audio went south
I wish there was a version of this in which the speaker didn't break up after about 1/2 way through.
agree 100%
Yea the video is sticking a bit

This video is damaged. About the last quarter is broken too bad to hear. Hopefully, you can reinstall it.
Thank you for this info! Love those fruit trees :)
This video starts breaking up at the end 😢

Adding a little vinegar will keep slimy okra at minimum..

How do you get rid of grubs in the soil
I just dig and hunt before planting. Otherwise i like them to eat leaves...= soil.
Watch my garden videos. In talk about using them.

Thanks for the education
what's wrong with the camera, aside from it being very low quality, like 480p?
It would of been nice if we could of heard half of the video

Its hot here in Dallas. My strawberries are dying. They can only get full sun from 12pm-6pm. Would they be better off in shade since it's so hot?
I have mine in a weird spot that get some sun and then shade and then some sun again. There are 2 big trees not far away. Most of the sunny time is morning sun. They are doing really well here in SW Houston.
