What to do with overgrown OKRA plants
We recently left our okra plants neglected for about two weeks in late summer, and many of the pods became hard and overgrown. This video explains three options you can take when this happens, with one being to let them continue to harden and go to seed. Prudent gardeners always need seeds for the next growing season. We also compare which variety has performed the best despite being neglected, as we've grown Clemson spineless and burgundy. If you'd like to see a time lapse video on how to grow okra from start to finish, check out our video at this link:

Montreal Botanical Garden Tour (2024)
Просмотров 22621 день назад
We recently got to take a trip to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and one of the highlights was a tour of their Botanical Garden (Jardin botanique de Montréal). It's located near a number of great attractions that we didn't get a chance to visit. Overall, it was great to see many plants and flowers that don't grow as well in our native Texas, or perhaps grow only in the shade in Texas to avoid the he...
How to grow MELONS in containers (START TO FINISH)
Просмотров 216Месяц назад
We experimented this year with growing melons in containers, which is generally more difficult than in the ground because it's harder to keep them well watered. We live in North Texas, Zone 8a, so our summers are quite hot. This video explains every step of the process - growing, fertilizing, watering, protecting your melons from pests, and harvesting. The melons we grew were the Kajari variety...
How to HARVEST and STORE ONIONS

We love growing onions here in North Texas, Zone 8a. We grow short-day variety onions, which don't store as long as other varieties. This video explains the three signs to look for to know when it's time to harvest. Then we explain how to store your onions for later consumption - especially if you don't have a root cellar.

Hollyhocks have been a beautiful addition to our backyard garden, and they also add a nice vertical element to our array of flowers. We've grown a variety of colors in our North Texas garden, Zone 8a. Hollyhocks can grow in Zones 3 through 9. This video takes you through how we grow them from seed to full blossom and then harvesting seeds. We also get some "volunteer" plants from seeds that hav...
FREE fertilizer for TREES
Просмотров 4232 месяца назад
We're having an abundant harvest from our peach tree, despite not fertilizing it for a year and a half. Our secret is compost tea, where we water flowerpots with compost, and the tea drains through to our trees. This video shows you how to make quality compost to feed your trees and eventually provide rich potting soil for other plants.
Growing ONIONS from seed (time lapse)
Просмотров 7643 месяца назад
We recently harvested a crop of onions we grew from seed in our North Texas garden. In our warm climate, we grow short-day variety onions. This variety doesn't store as long as long-day onions. This video takes you from start to finish - planting seeds, growing in containers, transplanting, fertilizing, watering, harvesting, and storing. We hope it encourages you to grow more onions.
Growing TOMATOES in partial SHADE
Просмотров 1 тыс.3 месяца назад
We've grown tomatoes in an in-ground bed for years. But as our backyard trees have grown, more of our tomato bed gets partial shade. The shade, combined with a very wet spring here in North Texas, have hindered development in some of our tomato varieties. This video shows what varieties have still produced well in the shade, so hopefully you'll know what to grow in partial shade if you're not a...

    Drip tape is the way to go in long areas. I use the 1/4 =" to individual plants and the 1/4" "brown" (every 6") in containers. I ALWAYS plant too closely and by July start having to move plants so the drip tape holes are 12" apart. Soaking has never lasted long for me and frankly was inefficient and ineffective.

    Okra is one of the easiest plants i found to grow in my zone 10. It thrives in the heat and sun light. Mine grew to about 7 feet then when it slowed down to almost no more production i trimmed them down to just about 6 inches tall and new growth sprouted pretty soon and i let them grow for another harvest.

    Great experiment and you helped me determine how I want to try composting at home. I want to have about 10 x 10 area to compost. But I also want a "staging area" next to my main rich compost area. This box idea would work perfectly, and I could rake these over as they mature, turn everything at that point, then wait for the next batch to mature and rake over again. It's a way of mimicking the stages a large scale composter would use. Or at least the best I can do with the space I have. I am looking for a longer maturation stage with my compost, probably close to two years. My second trick will be to use this box compost as "in garden compost" at the end of the year, and either leave one of my gardens dormant for next season, or just try planting the next season to see if it breaks down enough to supply all the right nutrients year after year.

    • @millsfamilygardening2634
      @millsfamilygardening2634 28 дней назад
