Lester will have a major anxiety with the guineas around, for sure!! I can hear him sing that song, "I have anxiety and you not making it better!" 😄😄🤭🤭
Might try planting tomatoes separate from all the other plants. I know you have had a “lot” of water n that’s never good n busy too so spraying not consistent. Sorry guess it’s to be expected. Here in WV. JUST got my stuff out and boys the bug already attacking EVERYTHING. Mild winter.
Good morning Jami 👋🏻 I have those worms also, and I hate them 🤬😁 I also have a big strawberry bed because I love making my own jam/preserves and I also like canning my pie filling. Well yesterday I was looking at them and I seen 2 strawberries growing, but I also seen them nasty slugs all around. I also hate those things. I even put the bird netting over m bed, because my chickens were getting up in there and not only eating the bugs they were pecking my strawberries. And I also have rabbits tht were getting in it so I covered it. It’s just like a no win situation, ya know the saying “ your d@mned if ya do & ur d@mned if ya don’t “ yep Thts it 😅😢🤣 The rest of my garden is like Steph’s, just in the ground. So the chickens walk thru it and I’ve never had any problems with them eating anything other Han he bugs. So hopefully once things start growing they don’t mess it up. Here in Ky we don’t get to start our gardens until May, but I do get a head start because of my greenhouse tht I’m very thankful for. I actually could’ve started it much earlier this yr because we didn’t get the late frost tht we usually get here, yeah strange weather for sure. But thts a good thing because my peach & pear trees r absolutely FULL this yr. They already have peaches & pear’s all over them, I’m so happy about tht. Now to keep the birds away until I get my fruit then I will gladly leave them plenty 👍🏻🤣 Thts like my corn, I have to sow enough so the deer, raccoons, and all the other wildlife tht eats it can also have theirs. But sometimes they get greedy , like last yr, and take it all. They get the watermelon also, so yeah it’s always something thts gonna also get plenty to eat. And sometimes, I’m left out 😭🤣 Did ya plant any marigolds around in ur bed? Sometimes they help, not always unfortunately. I also surrounded my garden with sunflowers so the birds will have plenty to eat, and I also get seed for the next yr from them. I hope y’all have a great day, and here’s to happy planting girl 🍹 God bless u all 🫶🏻🙏
Jami could you not give the big birds the kale with the worms on ? They eat bugs and insects. They get there greens and their protein both at one time 😂
@@sharonmissler3715idk, maybe you better soak them in water and change the bowls water out a few times before feeding them to your birds?? I think I would at least do that first. Or call the toll free Animal Poison Control to find out if the pesticide could hurt them. That's probably the smartest thing to do. 🌺🌴🐕🐾🏵️***
@yvonnesumrow BT is considered to be one of the safest pesticides and not harmful to vertebrates. It breaks down in days. But, washing food certainly never hurts.
@mommabearmaryann8106 🌺Yea, my parents were farmers and ranchers. I grew up in Hawaii where there's bugs everywhere. My mom planted Marigolds around our house and in a thick row around the front. We didn't have many problems with that. I think it has to do with our crazy weather we've been having all around the U.S. Really, there's only so much we can do and who wants to over kill on the pesticides?? I use some but not to over kill!! 🌺🌴🐕🐾🐐🐕🐐🐕🦋🐂🌹🐝🐈⬛🐈🐂🐕🦋🐝***
Jami the lacing on your plants look like it could be Japanese beetles try a mixture of a little dish soap like a few drops in water in a spray bottle and spray the plants it will work for most anything. you have a nice crop of beans and the gourds look great. you can TH-cam the soap water mixture on youtube I have used it and it works. we learn every year we plant and have a garden and what works
You, Jami, are a serious gardener. The freaking rain and moisture set up the perfect storm in the garden. Your bounty is pretty terrific considering the chompers! ❤
Hi Jami. Even though the worms and bugs are taking over considering g all the rain your garden has faired really well and looks so good. So proud that this is your outlet and you enjoy it and get to share it with us all. Have an awesome day. Take care. Lots of love and prayers God Bless. 💕🙏👢
I wish Jami read her comments like Lester always does. She has admitted she doesn't have the time , which is understandable. But there are great ideas coming her way , like the Basil by tomatoes , try spreading out or just lesson how many different things.
When I count my blessings, I count you twice. ❤️ If it makes you feel any better, you have 100% more success with your garden than I did (as I can’t plant anything without it dying). When you were talking about your birdhouse gourds…. I almost made a rookie mistake. I was about to take a sip of tea. Thank goodness I stopped myself.😂🤣 I’m glad that your abundance has allowed you to share in your little roadside “free” box. So, despite the army worms, you have still been able to provide to others.
Oh Jami it has been to wet this year , Mother Nature has not been kind . You have such success with your gardens , just a real bummer worms took it over due to the wetness that fell . Souch goodness came from your garden for sure , it's the bug population that came from the rain all sorts of the Texas bugs , mosquitos flies , huge ones of many here just few hours from ya . Rained here last night & more is coming (yikes) !! The work you put into your gardens has been awesome, here is to better conditions for growing, could be ya have time (little) for growing something before our sweltering summer arrives . Have very blessed weekend you & Lester please find time relax & just be in this our crazy Tx world we live in , blessings , love 💕❤️❤️❤️❤️
Morning Jami - it is heartbreaking to see your hard work going to feed insects, bugs and worms. I am ‘green’ as those gorgeous beans and green peppers with jealousy though, lol, at what has not been ravaged by those creepers and the inclement weather. Those green beans look so full and soooo deliciously scrumptious, that I so wanted to just reach through my tv screen and picked one to munch on, while we continued looking around your garden! ☺️ Sadly, my green beans have never been that plentiful. Thanks for our morning visit today Jami, this visit woke up my appetite!! 😂 Do enjoy your Saturday..... 💕☺️
Good Saturday Morning Jami, I watch Your Videos from Georgia,USA. I look at the weather radar every day to see if Your part of Texas is getting rain. You've worked hard in Your gardens. With all the rain You've had and taking care of Your Fur and Feathered babies and Family's Fur and Feathered babies, You
YOU'VE done a great job. With all the rain and You've put stuff out for worms and bugs, just get washed away. Jami, You're a strong and hard working Woman❣️❗️ Yeah look at Your green beans & bell peppers how great they've done. We're proud of You Young Lady. Your friend, Nancy
The garden has definitely been productive regardless of the crazy weather y'all been having but i think its over crowded. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.🍅🥕🥦🍆
Morning Jami. Oh my word look at your Garden! Them dang worms, I wonder if its all the rain that has brought out those little green leaf eating critters! Ive heard with tomato plants you have to trim the lower leaves so the energy in the plant will go towards producing more fruit. Oh the trials and tribulations of home gardening huh. You still have done great despite crappy rain and hail weather.
Jami, gardens are like us humans not perfect, but the blessings are you are doing it! The best part is you are doing what will provide food worms and all. Give God the Glory❤❤
Bless your heart, you just didn't have time to tend to your garden. It was such a a crazy spring for y'all. You could probably squeeze another growing season with your weather.
Jami, because of the flood and daylight time; just do what you can, you always have next year! Stake up the heavy peppers, spray the heck out of the entire bed❤
That's a great idea 💡🙂 I forgot about that. My Dad would do that in his garden. It works too Thank you for bringing that memory back to me ❤️ Have a Wonderful Blessed Day 🙏💕
@@tmooy420 Thank you so much for your prompt reply…I could have sworn I replied but it must have been deleted? It happens randomly. Anyway much appreciated 👍
Hi Jami You and Steve inspired me to start gardening but I got attacked by worms grasshoppers and white butterflies/moths. I felt totally defeated. Then I saw Steve's video where she said she only uses Neem oil to protect her plants. Maybe you could give that a go too? Good luck. I'm watching from Australia and Neem oil is definitely the go here.
Good Saturday morning Jami. Considering all that Mother Nature has thrown your way I would except what did survive and continues to thrive a blessing. Out of your control and so are the insects and worms. Take it one day at a time. Have a fantastic day 😎 ❤❤
It seems things in the garden are either doing well or being eaten by worms! That was a great idea to have the beans & the gourds grown on the arch way! Sure makes picking easier. Hope the worms will eat the plants you're leaving for them & leave the other veggies alone. The peppers look fabulous & so many different types. Your cucumbers look good, too! So like you to focus on the good & not the bad! You are such an amazing young woman!
Jami you may have worms in your garden, I have a yard full of cicadas that are trying to kill my burning bushes and my new flowers that I just planted. We will call it a wash and see what next season brings. Love you and thanks for sharing
Too much nitrogen in soil gives great leaves but little fruiting. Need more spacing between plants gives bugs perfect habitat. The joy of gardening but remember insects outnumber you by the millions! Keep at it... every year is a new adventure.
Hey Jami, I did get a giggle when you said the frizzled up like old man's...... Well I'm married to an old man and that terminology is spot on love. LOL Now I'm an old woman with poor eye sight, so to me they are just fine hahahaha
Such a fun garden video...but so sorry about the "worms"!! (Unlike some, I get that it was a joke and you KNOW these are actually caterpillars! Some people just don't have a sense of humor. "I've got worms" is a very funny video title LOL!) Just watched your LIVE and I so enjoyed it...laughed so much! Thank you Jami 💜🌷💙 Janice
Good evening, Jamie, and all the babies i’m so sorry about your garden. It was so beautiful all your plants around your house or also beautiful 😮 beautiful sunset wow between the trees that’s beautiful
Jami, I would pickle those green tomatoes or freeze dry them for fried green tomatoes. Picked carrots are really good as well. Not to mention, horses love carrots. The beets can be canned and froze dried. The dill you can cut and just hang around the shop to dry out. [Upside down in paper bags]Should smell wonderful. Sorry for the defeat of stupid worms. Look at your big tree as well. They could be dropping from there. Talk to your older neighbors and ask them what you could do. I know the bag worms I have on my trees, I leave to make bags of worms and the birds love them!!! You can start over. You have a greanhouse and a long summer .
I’d run right out and harvest all that good stuff before the worms try to get the rest of it! I’m so jealous of your green bell peppers - I can’t grow one to save my life!!
Jami, I admire your optimism amongst heartbreak. Even though in your video you said it's just a garden, I know how much work you put into it and it pains me to see what has happened. Bless your heart❤️
May I ask what you do with all the veggies you harvest? And between your full-time job All 3 properties and harvest and canning and all you do? When do you have time to rest? I watch your channel daily and I get tired just watching you work so hard. Bless you for all the love you give your animals, If you pull the bad plants out of your gardens and maybe put something like 7 dusts on your remaining plants might help with the nasty critters in your gardens.
I love those beans and gourds growing on the cattle panel. It sure makes it easy picking! In spite of the overgrowth, the garden is still being productive. All of the rain you’ve had has made it’s challenge, for sure 😂
Oh my heck Jami, that just breaks my heart. All that hard work😢. But leave it too you. You find a blessing in something. Thank what I love about you. No matter how bad it gets you find a positive!! Keep being Jami❤❤❤. Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend ❤❤❤
My son planted tomatoes and squash and they got eat up. He loves to grow all the hot peppers. Carolina reapers, habaneros , mammoth jalapeño etc. he never has bugs on his peppers so he grows a lot of them and trades with friends. A lot of them make us pepper jelly in return. It’s a win win for us!!
Hi Jami ... Have an idea ... How about putting sprayer bottle connected to the hose that's filled with soapy water and then spray down your plants with the mixture. 😀
Good morning Jami I saw a video about removing some of side branches of the tomatoes to encourage more fruit growth I think it was on TH-cam. I have to go check my plants for bugs/worms
Look up Neem oil. It can be used for fruit , veg, flowers. It’s a spray on. We got this from Amazon. It worked great for our Roses. Because it’s an oil it doesn’t wash off as easy. It works quick. The dill you say has gone to seed my mom used one of those round tops per Mason jar when making dill peppers . I would pick everything that’s good. Those tomato plants just need sun to bloom. Throw garden lime on them to maybe get rid of some of the bugs.
Jami if you prune those tomatoes they can focus on making fruit.....too much beautiful foliage uses all the plant energy. Cutting back helps give fruit. Air circulation is important to healthy plants. You have abundant space dont crowd plants too much. You've learned so much in a short time.
I'm Sorry Jami, I've Been There Before, Multiple Family/Life Emergencies Kept Me Away from My Garden. When I Finally Had the time to Care for My Garden It Was in Bad Shape from Cabbage Worms and Other Insects. I Invested in Row Covers and That Helped Alot the Following Year
I gardened for 25 years, moved into a different house with no garden, and it’s all good. There are farmer markets every weekend where I can get all the fresh veggies I want.
1st, you have had an extremely wet year, which didn't help. That and the plants are so very close together. It looks like it would be very hard picking worms off of your plants. Almost like they have no problem going to the next plant. If your sprinkle Neem oil or powder all over your plants, they won't touch them. My sister had issues like that and even on her Rose bushes. Neem took care of the issue and she didn't have to fight with them. She would have replanted her dead rose bushes (the ones that died before she used Neem)this year, but unfortunately she passed away. Good luxk with your garden. You might also see what your vegetable gardening book says. Cheers 👍💕🌱
Jamie if you have a freeze dryer then you are blessed. You can freeze dry both fruits & veggies. As well as meats. There's very little you can't freeze dry. Freeze dried food lasts forever & is so easy to do.
Jami the only thing I've found that will deter the worms, is 7 Dust and you have to reapply after every rain. Without rain every 7 to 9 days, just look at the plant's and you can tell if they need more. The correct spelling is Sevin Dust TSC and Home Depot carries it.
You might be able to save the cherry tomatoes by giving them a good haircut and trellising them up. I plant basil, French marigolds, zinnias and alisium throughout my garden and have had very few insect issues. I’m glad you haven’t given up on it considering everything you all have gone through. God bless you and all the babies!
Why don't you put it on fast speed and show us you picking the veggies and fruits (tomatoes are a fruit). I bet that would be fun to see. I do not have a garden this year but I know it is a lot of WORK! Counting your blessings is the only way to live! Even though you have worms, you have a great harvest despite the worms. God blesses you with the harvest. Love ya, Jami!
My grandfather always had a very productive garden. He taught us to never plant too close together because it gives the bugs a great place to nest and they can travel from plant to plant easier. He always planted a solid wall of marigolds around the perimeter and some between plants. He would use dish soap and water in a hose sprayer directly on all his plants and would let that set for a day, then rinse it off. That's how he did it with his lawn, fruit trees, and 🌹 roses.❤
Agree. Also planting too close, no air Flow so when everything got soaked in the big rains the plant can not dry out. I would plant at least the distance recommended on the seed pack and then prune to 2 or 3 canes/stalks and tie up. That will help a lot. But in the end Jami I think all the storms and the lack of time were your biggest culprits. You girl are the definition of busiest of all time. Save and preserve what you can and plant in the fall when it’s cool.🫶
So sad with all your hard work. Yes, count your blessings. You’ve been able to start the blessing box and have veggies for yourself. Hope the ostriches can still eat the kale. 💕💕
Tagetes ( a sort of Marigold with a very distinkt smell) is a great side-plant to keep bugs at bay. You can douse your plants with a concoction of stinging nettles submerged in water and left to stand until they get nasty. This nettle-water doesn't sting, is not poisonous, but also helps keeping hungry butterfly-babies away. It works best if used before any problems arise, and at intervals during growing season. Brilliant idea to water your garden before rain. It makes it easier for the rain to soak in and benefit your plants instead of just washing off the nutrients.
Anyone remember the Dumb and dumber movie? When Lloyd Christmas tells the lady he is taking to the airport! “I got worms” 😂. He wanted to create a worm store.
💥💥 i’m not a garden expert. But my father-in-law was. And from watching Stephanie‘s garden and pawpaw‘s garden and my father-in-law‘s garden it looks like you overcrowded your garden. I was taught that you don’t overcrowd it so the plants can get airflow around it. Especially with all of the rain that you’ve had it can’t dry out. You also can’t see when you have the beginnings of insect problems. I know you love gardening, but as he told me, decide what you want and what you will eat and plant that because you can’t plant everything. I would share that same advice with you because you have a tendency of wanting to put some of everything that you see in a garden at the same time. I would suggest you either making a larger garden or just plant what you will eat and what the animals will eat, and then if you want to try different things make a small little garden to try those things. But not all of the same time. And not as many of the same new things at a time. Even Jason at Coghill Farm their gardens are not all cluttered up like that. Not trying to be critical, but since you’re new with this pay attention to Jason‘s garden, Stephanie‘s garden, they’re not all cluttered and they do have ground cover down to keep the weeds out. I definitely would not have put more water on that garden. I don’t care if you couldn’t pull the weeds out just break them off for now, but there’s too much water in that garden. Just a suggestion. I would also suggest you watch Jason‘s gardening and find out what he uses that is toxic free to spray on your garden. Especially since the animals are eating it. If we humans want to eat poisoned vegetables that’s one thing we can wash it off but when you just pick it out of the garden and go feed it to the animals. That’s not such a great idea.
To get rid of the worms initially you can use 7 Dust. It kills quickly and you can use it up to 1 or 2 days before harvest if necessary because it stays active a relatively short time. That's what I did last year and it saved my tomatoes and peppers. I only had to apply once and they didn't come back the whole summer.
@IndianaLarry1022 Hi Larry! I grow succulents in my hot desert environment. First time ever having pest problems. May I ask for more detail? As in, how MUCH vinegar...is it mixed in water or ?...thanks so much 😁
@@stilllearning8360 hi there I know the gallon bottles at the stores are 30% vinegar the rest is water & that will work fine for pest but now if you want to control weeds it has to be at less 70% vinegar to one gallon of water. So for pest try 1 gallon of vinegar to 1 of water & that should do you fine GB stay safe & take care. Your friend Larry 😊
Omg that amount of water you needed for that wasn't even half a water through, so why would he even mention it? What about all that water that the cows made a mess of ,so many times 😂😂 I even watered at the same time as it rained 😂 no big deal, . So you could just mention this to Lester if he say something about the water in your garden.😁🥰❤️🥰👍
Jami,I noticed some of your big tomatoes have a disease called Blossom End rot, it can be resolved . How I know is I had the same last year. I do laugh at you calling Caterpillars ,worms. Worms live and thrive and help the earth and soil, the
Tell Lester you need a few garden Guinnees watch Lester lose it lmao😅😅😅
Paw said guineas eat all the garden bugs
🤦🏼♀️😂😂
Why when I read Lose It, I hear Eminem singing Lose It ahahahah 🤣🤣👊🏼
His reply to that would be so high pitched only the dogs could hear it.
Lester will have a major anxiety with the guineas around, for sure!! I can hear him sing that song, "I have anxiety and you not making it better!" 😄😄🤭🤭
FYI. If you plant Basil by your tomatoes you will NEVER have horn worms. Never.
They are surrounded by basil and ate that too lol
@@FromSuitstoBoots hornworm??? What kind of worm??

BT is a worm specific bacteria that stops them from feeding, so it wouldn't hurt the birds to feed them the kale.

You still have done great despite crappy rain and hail weather.
I remember my mom always put Sevin Dust on her vegetable plants to keep creepy crawlers out of it.
Jami, gardens are like us humans not perfect, but the blessings are you are doing it! The best part is you are doing what will provide food worms and all. Give God the Glory❤❤
Bless your heart, you just didn't have time to tend to your garden. It was such a a crazy spring for y'all.
You could probably squeeze another growing season with your weather.
Jami, because of the flood and daylight time; just do what you can, you always have next year! Stake up the heavy peppers, spray the heck out of the entire bed❤
So cool to see all the different plants this year.
Baking soda dish soap and water then spray on the plant.
That's a great idea 💡🙂
I forgot about that.
My Dad would do that in his garden.
It works too
Thank you for bringing that memory back to me ❤️
Have a Wonderful Blessed Day 🙏💕
@tmooy420 Interesting! Can you tell me how much of each thing? Having major pest problems...thanks!! 🌷
@@stilllearning8360 I do a few spoonfuls of the baking soda couple of the soap then fill with water.
@@tmooy420 Thank you so much for your prompt reply…I could have sworn I replied but it must have been deleted? It happens randomly. Anyway much appreciated 👍
Hi Jami
You and Steve inspired me to start gardening but I got attacked by worms grasshoppers and white butterflies/moths. I felt totally defeated.
Then I saw Steve's video where she said she only uses Neem oil to protect her plants. Maybe you could give that a go too? Good luck.
I'm watching from Australia and Neem oil is definitely the go here.
Good Saturday morning Jami. Considering all that Mother Nature has thrown your way I would except what did survive and continues to thrive a blessing. Out of your control and so are the insects and worms. Take it one day at a time. Have a fantastic day 😎 ❤❤
“Count your blessings, count them one by one, Count your blessings, see what God has done…”
It seems things in the garden are either doing well or being eaten by worms! That was a great idea to have the beans & the gourds grown on the arch way! Sure makes picking easier. Hope the worms will eat the plants you're leaving for them & leave the other veggies alone. The peppers look fabulous & so many different types. Your cucumbers look good, too! So like you to focus on the good & not the bad! You are such an amazing young woman!
Jami, tomato plants have a title - indeterminant and determinant. The Indeterminant grow wild.
Jami you may have worms in your garden, I have a yard full of cicadas that are trying to kill my burning bushes and my new flowers that I just planted. We will call it a wash and see what next season brings. Love you and thanks for sharing
Jami with all the rain, it make the worms and bugs come out like crazy. Not you, there was alot of blessing. Beautiful flowers
Too much nitrogen in soil gives great leaves but little fruiting. Need more spacing between plants gives bugs perfect habitat. The joy of gardening but remember insects outnumber you by the millions! Keep at it... every year is a new adventure.
The ostriches will be very happy for the kale...❤❤❤
Hey Jami, I did get a giggle when you said the frizzled up like old man's......
Well I'm married to an old man and that terminology is spot on love. LOL Now I'm an old woman with poor eye sight, so to me they are just fine hahahaha
😅😅😅
Awe Jamie, you are a kind and gentle soul. You fed Mother Nature. Now it’s time to reap what is left and start over 😊
We use ( it’s called safers) it keeps the bugs away from plants. We are in Canada though! Beautiful garden!!! ❤
Such a fun garden video...but so sorry about the "worms"!! (Unlike some, I get that it was a joke and you KNOW these are actually caterpillars! Some people just don't have a sense of humor. "I've got worms" is a very funny video title LOL!) Just watched your LIVE and I so enjoyed it...laughed so much! Thank you Jami 💜🌷💙 Janice
Love and Light Jami you got this! God Bless!
Good evening, Jamie, and all the babies i’m so sorry about your garden. It was so beautiful all your plants around your house or also beautiful 😮 beautiful sunset wow between the trees that’s beautiful
Having a garden isn't for the faint of heart..just keep counting your blessings
Jami, I would pickle those green tomatoes or freeze dry them for fried green tomatoes. Picked carrots are really good as well. Not to mention, horses love carrots. The beets can be canned and froze dried. The dill you can cut and just hang around the shop to dry out. [Upside down in paper bags]Should smell wonderful. Sorry for the defeat of stupid worms. Look at your big tree as well. They could be dropping from there. Talk to your older neighbors and ask them what you could do. I know the bag worms I have on my trees, I leave to make bags of worms and the birds love them!!! You can start over. You have a greanhouse and a long summer .
The rain has created a perfect storm for bugs and worms. All your hard work
I’d run right out and harvest all that good stuff before the worms try to get the rest of it! I’m so jealous of your green bell peppers - I can’t grow one to save my life!!
Jami, I admire your optimism amongst heartbreak. Even though in your video you said it's just a garden, I know how much work you put into it and it pains me to see what has happened. Bless your heart❤️
Feed the worms to the ostriches Mabel is watching gorgeous
All of that train is bringing out all the bugs. I am sorry you have worked so hard to have critters eating it all up
May I ask what you do with all the veggies you harvest? And between your full-time job All 3 properties and harvest and canning and all you do? When do you have time to rest? I watch your channel daily and I get tired just watching you work so hard. Bless you for all the love you give your animals, If you pull the bad plants out of your gardens and maybe put something like 7 dusts on your remaining plants might help with the nasty critters in your gardens.
I love those beans and gourds growing on the cattle panel. It sure makes it easy picking! In spite of the overgrowth, the garden is still being productive. All of the rain you’ve had has made it’s challenge, for sure 😂
Oh my heck Jami, that just breaks my heart. All that hard work😢. But leave it too you. You find a blessing in something. Thank what I love about you. No matter how bad it gets you find a positive!! Keep being Jami❤❤❤. Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend ❤❤❤
My son planted tomatoes and squash and they got eat up. He loves to grow all the hot peppers. Carolina reapers, habaneros , mammoth jalapeño etc. he never has bugs on his peppers so he grows a lot of them and trades with friends. A lot of them make us pepper jelly in return. It’s a win win for us!!
I admire your love for gardening. It inspires me to try but haven't yet 🤔
Hi Jami ...
Have an idea ...
How about putting sprayer bottle connected to the hose that's filled with soapy water and then spray down your plants with the mixture. 😀
Jami I so miss growing green beans!!! I eat raw green beans like they are candy. LOVE THEM❣️
Jami you have such a beautiful garden ❤ love how its thriving 😊 if only i lived in texas id be hitting up that free stand forsure lol
Good morning Jami I saw a video about removing some of side branches of the tomatoes to encourage more fruit growth I think it was on TH-cam. I have to go check my plants for bugs/worms
Look up Neem oil. It can be used for fruit , veg, flowers. It’s a spray on. We got this from Amazon. It worked great for our Roses. Because it’s an oil it doesn’t wash off as easy. It works quick.
The dill you say has gone to seed my mom used one of those round tops per Mason jar when making dill peppers . I would pick everything that’s good. Those tomato plants just need sun to bloom. Throw garden lime on them to maybe get rid of some of the bugs.
You should call Jaysonat Cog Hill.He`s knows so much about gardening.
That’s why I hate gardening. It’s a never ending battle against bugs and weeds. Not worth it in my book.
Same, especially when I don't have anyone to help, family like they used to 🫤 oh well !
Gmorning! Sorry about those worms! Those cherry peppers look good! Mini stuffed peppers! lol
Jami if you prune those tomatoes they can focus on making fruit.....too much beautiful foliage uses all the plant energy. Cutting back helps give fruit. Air circulation is important to healthy plants. You have abundant space dont crowd plants too much.
You've learned so much in a short time.
I feel so bad for you. And your garden. U worked so hard on it.
Because of all the rain, u have more insects, and WEEDS! I feel for ya!
I'm Sorry Jami, I've Been There Before, Multiple Family/Life Emergencies Kept Me Away from My Garden. When I Finally Had the time to Care for My Garden It Was in Bad Shape from Cabbage Worms and Other Insects. I Invested in Row Covers and That Helped Alot the Following Year
I gardened for 25 years, moved into a different house with no garden, and it’s all good. There are farmer markets every weekend where I can get all the fresh veggies I want.
1st, you have had an extremely wet year, which didn't help. That and the plants are so very close together. It looks like it would be very hard picking worms off of your plants. Almost like they have no problem going to the next plant.
If your sprinkle Neem oil or powder all over your plants, they won't touch them. My sister had issues like that and even on her Rose bushes. Neem took care of the issue and she didn't have to fight with them. She would have replanted her dead rose bushes (the ones that died before she used Neem)this year, but unfortunately she passed away. Good luxk with your garden. You might also see what your vegetable gardening book says.
Cheers 👍💕🌱
Planting too close can cause issues also. Plants need a bit of air drying and air flow between plants. It is good for them to breathe! 🍆🍅🌽🌶🌱🤗
Jamie if you have a freeze dryer then you are blessed. You can freeze dry both fruits & veggies. As well as meats. There's very little you can't freeze dry. Freeze dried food lasts forever & is so easy to do.
Jami the only thing I've found that will deter the worms, is 7 Dust and you have to reapply after every rain. Without rain every 7 to 9 days, just look at the plant's and you can tell if they need more. The correct spelling is Sevin Dust TSC and Home Depot carries it.
Kale is always good for the worms. We keep them under fabric to cover them.
You might be able to save the cherry tomatoes by giving them a good haircut and trellising them up. I plant basil, French marigolds, zinnias and alisium throughout my garden and have had very few insect issues. I’m glad you haven’t given up on it considering everything you all have gone through. God bless you and all the babies!
Why don't you put it on fast speed and show us you picking the veggies and fruits (tomatoes are a fruit). I bet that would be fun to see. I do not have a garden this year but I know it is a lot of WORK! Counting your blessings is the only way to live! Even though you have worms, you have a great harvest despite the worms. God blesses you with the harvest. Love ya, Jami!
Jason Smith has some videos on cog hill farm about pest prevention. I learned a lot
My grandfather always had a very productive garden. He taught us to never plant too close together because it gives the bugs a great place to nest and they can travel from plant to plant easier. He always planted a solid wall of marigolds around the perimeter and some between plants. He would use dish soap and water in a hose sprayer directly on all his plants and would let that set for a day, then rinse it off. That's how he did it with his lawn, fruit trees, and 🌹 roses.❤
Agree. Also planting too close, no air
Flow so when everything got soaked in the big rains the plant can not dry out. I would plant at least the distance recommended on the seed pack and then prune to 2 or 3 canes/stalks and tie up. That will help a lot. But in the end Jami I think all the storms and the lack of time were your biggest culprits. You girl are the definition of busiest of all time. Save and preserve what you can and plant in the fall when it’s cool.🫶
So sad with all your hard work. Yes, count your blessings. You’ve been able to start the blessing box and have veggies for yourself. Hope the ostriches can still eat the kale. 💕💕
Tagetes ( a sort of Marigold with a very distinkt smell) is a great side-plant to keep bugs at bay. You can douse your plants with a concoction of stinging nettles submerged in water and left to stand until they get nasty. This nettle-water doesn't sting, is not poisonous, but also helps keeping hungry butterfly-babies away. It works best if used before any problems arise, and at intervals during growing season. Brilliant idea to water your garden before rain. It makes it easier for the rain to soak in and benefit your plants instead of just washing off the nutrients.
Good morning Jami so sorry that Mother Nature did that but like you said not everything was destroyed. Have a blessed day❤👍
Anyone remember the Dumb and dumber movie? When Lloyd Christmas tells the lady he is taking to the airport! “I got worms” 😂. He wanted to create a worm store.
Sure do! One of my favorite movies ever
@@FromSuitstoBootshave you seen Dumb and Dumber To? It is so funny! You have to watch it! My kind of humour after a tough day! 😅
Don’t be discouraged Jami. It happens.
😘😘😘😘❤
Neem oil maybe? You'd need a giant jug of it. Too bad Unclewester hates Papaws Guinea birds. I feel like they'd eat all those insects 😂
Looks over crowded.
I wonder if you should pull all plants then treat the soil for next season. What a bummer Jami
💥💥 i’m not a garden expert. But my father-in-law was. And from watching Stephanie‘s garden and pawpaw‘s garden and my father-in-law‘s garden it looks like you overcrowded your garden. I was taught that you don’t overcrowd it so the plants can get airflow around it. Especially with all of the rain that you’ve had it can’t dry out. You also can’t see when you have the beginnings of insect problems. I know you love gardening, but as he told me, decide what you want and what you will eat and plant that because you can’t plant everything. I would share that same advice with you because you have a tendency of wanting to put some of everything that you see in a garden at the same time. I would suggest you either making a larger garden or just plant what you will eat and what the animals will eat, and then if you want to try different things make a small little garden to try those things. But not all of the same time. And not as many of the same new things at a time. Even Jason at Coghill Farm their gardens are not all cluttered up like that. Not trying to be critical, but since you’re new with this pay attention to Jason‘s garden, Stephanie‘s garden, they’re not all cluttered and they do have ground cover down to keep the weeds out. I definitely would not have put more water on that garden. I don’t care if you couldn’t pull the weeds out just break them off for now, but there’s too much water in that garden. Just a suggestion. I would also suggest you watch Jason‘s gardening and find out what he uses that is toxic free to spray on your garden. Especially since the animals are eating it. If we humans want to eat poisoned vegetables that’s one thing we can wash it off but when you just pick it out of the garden and go feed it to the animals. That’s not such a great idea.
❤❤❤Good job Jami
Considering what your garden went through with all the rain and even wind, your lucky you got anything.
To get rid of the worms initially you can use 7 Dust. It kills quickly and you can use it up to 1 or 2 days before harvest if necessary because it stays active a relatively short time. That's what I did last year and it saved my tomatoes and peppers. I only had to apply once and they didn't come back the whole summer.
Jami all I can say is White vinegar White vinegar one more time is White vinegar. GB & best of luck 😊
@IndianaLarry1022 Hi Larry! I grow succulents in my hot desert environment. First time ever having pest problems. May I ask for more detail? As in, how MUCH vinegar...is it mixed in water or ?...thanks so much 😁
@@stilllearning8360 hi there I know the gallon bottles at the stores are 30% vinegar the rest is water & that will work fine for pest but now if you want to control weeds it has to be at less 70% vinegar to one gallon of water. So for pest try 1 gallon of vinegar to 1 of water & that should do you fine GB stay safe & take care. Your friend Larry 😊
@@IndianaLarry1022 Thank you so much for your quick response Larry!!! I’ll be getting some this weekend!! Be blessed 🌺❤️
Omg that amount of water you needed for that wasn't even half a water through, so why would he even mention it? What about all that water that the cows made a mess of ,so many times 😂😂 I even watered at the same time as it rained 😂 no big deal, . So you could just mention this to Lester if he say something about the water in your garden.😁🥰❤️🥰👍
😅😅😅Might be fighting words! Settled with a water balloon fight... just to release adult pressure!
Jami,I noticed some of your big tomatoes have a disease called Blossom End rot, it can be resolved . How I know is I had the same last year. I do laugh at you calling Caterpillars ,worms. Worms live and thrive and help the earth and soil, the
