Really glad I found your channel; I'm around 2 counties east, and I gotta say for this particular neck of the woods; we need very specific planting info - and you sir have been a wealth of good information for me.
Thanks for the Vid!! We live in Zone 8B as well and this is my first fall in gardening! We started Broccoli, Lettuce, Spinach, Kale, Arugula, and Snow Peas. Sadly we haven't seen any germination in the Lettuce or Spinach either! Cant wait to transplant and hopefully get a good harvest this fall!
I get it with your tractor. We had a 1942 Farmall Cub tractor, and it broke down on us. Try finding parts for that....yeah, kind of a problem. My dad, who grew up on a wheat farm our in OK but now lives in a suburb here in MS, took it for the memories. Still not running though. We really miss it.
Love me some black plastic. It is the only way I could get rid od a nasty grass. Bermuda I think. The o e that runs and is like hair. Hate it ! Love your operation !
When you have a greenhouse in a higher humidity zone, you really need to have air circulating this time of year. It’s good to have a fan of some sort at one or both ends of the greenhouse. The circulation of air helps with a lot of issues, but having said that, mushrooms aren’t always a bad thing.
Usually the mushrooms are there because we have too much large organic matter in that topsoil. There are a lot of Woodchips and the soil is moist in my bed. It is not harmful, just an annoyance when you are trying to germinate small seeds like carrots and lettuce because it crowds them out. You can screen the soil before using it.
I just stumbled onto these videos, and am very pleases. I am actually on the edge of Zone 8A and 8B. Thank you for all of the great info. Got a start on the greenhouse, but it wont be ready this year.. How do you shock a water well system?
You're welcome. I have never shocked a well but it is just about pouring bleach in the main well and opening all of the connections and letting the chlorinated water flow through. There are a lot of videos out there on that topic.
I just found your channel. Thanks for all the info. I don't live in Texas but my husband is from there. What kinds of dishes does your wife make with these purple sweet potatoes? Your girls are adorable. 😊
Thank you. She usually just boils and then peels them. Sometimes she makes a soup(I can’t remember the name) and sometimes shreds them and makes a fritter.
Hello from Van Alstyne. Was wondering why you use mulch in your greenhouse? Seems like it might stop some seeds from coming up? I have it my beds, but under soil.
I didn't specifically use mulch. The topsoil and compost I purchased had larger chunks of woodchips in it. Mulch is not bad as I do still practice the Back to Eden gardening method.
Now that you have your solar system up and running. I’m thinking about a slow build, but is yours family friendly? Can the family go flip a switch or two if your not there? Thanks for your posting today. A little off topic.
Can you tell me are you using flat soaker hose in your beds to water with? I have 3/4” line and poke holes and add drippers but that’s a pain. Would love the hose it looks like you have running down your rows just don’t know what it’s called? Thanks!

Why are mushrooms a bad thing in your bed? I've read they are beneficial to our gardens. Please I would like to understand if there is a reason to dispose of mushrooms growing in my beds.
Hi, we grow fava beans all the time. You may want to put up some sort of trellis. They get pretty tall and bushy. Question: how would you fix the mushroom problem? Sometimes we get them. Ive always heard if you get mushrooms, the soil is good. 🥴
Thanks for the heads up on the trellis. The mushrooms are there because we have too much large organic matter in that topsoil. There are a lot of Woodchips and the soil is moist. It is not harmful, just an annoyance when you are trying to germinate small seeds like carrots and lettuce because it crowds them out. You can screen the soil before using it.
Hi Judy. It is not bad. They are growing on the large organic matter that is breaking down like woodchips. My only issue was that they are crowding out my seedlings that are trying to germinate. It is ok to have them growing there.
I live in the same zone as him. I believe my mushrooms come from our humid area. We’ve had rain neatly each day for at least a month. I’ve allowed mushrooms in my flower gardens to grow but it made me nervous seeing them in my bell peppers. I panicked and sprinkled Epsom salts around those mushrooms. So far so good.

Awesome. Glad we have some good info available for y'all.
I am 100 miles from the Jacksonville fla.line. In Ga.
PS: I have really good luck with Johnny's seeds, good germination rates, cooperatively owned.
Your daughters are beautiful !!!💚💚
Thank you Judy!

@@CountryLivingExperience Thank you!!
adorable kids !
Thank you
Very inspiring. Thank you. I forget that I can’t do it all LOL.
You’re welcome

I am not sure how to keep this thing running if I cannot find parts. That Farmall has to be a challenge for sure.
I wish we could grow vegetables in the winter months
Love me some black plastic. It is the only way I could get rid od a nasty grass. Bermuda I think. The o e that runs and is like hair. Hate it ! Love your operation !
Very cool. Thank you.
I'm still wanting to try a few carrots. Before frost
You are probably in the same zone as me but you need to check. Carrots should be fine to plant now if you are.
Love the setup you got going on! 🌱
Thanks so much!
What causes the mushrooms because It happens in my potted plants ? I USE miracle grow potting mix

I have huge mushrooms growing in raised beds...its normal and ok..if they bug u just spade them out.
I’ve always been told it means you have healthy soil. Saves me a little on mushroom compost lol
If They really bother you spray them with hydrogen peroxide
Dont forget herbs that woll take the texas winter
This is my first year of growing produce in fall. I'm only growing cabbage and Napa Cabbage and lettuce.
Those are good ones to grow.
I don't know what I tell you in the❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Where is the link for the black plastic to kill weeds? Does it come by the acre? 😅
Lol. Here it is....amzn.to/3AKNPyB Farm Plastic Supply Silage Tarp
I like Johnny seeds

Yes, it is. I wrote out an easy startup procedure and posted it near the inverters. My wife can do it. My daughters are too young.
I live in Rhode Island and don't have a clue what I can plant for the different seasons or what zone I'm in.
The Agricultural department’s at local universities usually publish planting charts for your area.
I saw malungay there, it's a superfood!
Absolutely! Super high in Vit C too.

It’s the flat hose. We did a video on it here…..th-cam.com/video/5-wc0NkP594/w-d-xo.html

Simply because they are crowding out the germinating seeds and smothering them.

@@CountryLivingExperience Oh ok. Thanks for responding! God Bless
Can you do chapters? Because there is a lot of information to pause and write?
Sorry, my computer program does not do chapters.
Eric is it bad to have mushrooms growing if they're also creating mycorrhizae? (you seem to have maybe a little too much...?)

When I hit a new homesteading channel I look in the "about" category. I don't know what the problem is about saying what state you are in.
Watch most of his videos. He says it all the time
My neighbour did not believe it when I told him I had 6’ dandelions growing in my potatoes, so he had to come over and see for himself.
Lol
are you married to a filipino
I am.
