Thank you so much - So many have lost so much, it makes me feel a bit guilty for trying so hard just to save my garden...

Thank you - Yes it was a scary night, but thankfully for us the storm took an eastward turn at the last minute and other than the rain and a few downed limbs, we survived intact. Pray for those in FLA, GA, SC, NC, TN, KY, WV that are suffering. It will likely turn out to be the one of the worst storms of all time.

Thank you. The "raised beds" turned out to be a garden saver. I lost plants last year to heavy fall rains, so that's why I decided to try them this year. A lot more work, but I still have a garden!

Yea, I'm over 70 years old, and that's the most rain I've seen in my life.

Amen sister!

Thanks so much. Thanks for the prayers, now let's pray for all those that weren't so lucky. I'm overwhelmed by the disaster Helene was.

@@TheBackGardenYard OH yes Sir. I never imagined it would be that devastating. Praying 🙏 for all. 🙏❤️😊

Thank you. We did survive - 12 inches of rain, and a lot of wind, but no damage. I'm working on a video of the garden and how it looks now.

Yea, I saw it in the store, but have decided not to buy it.

Thank you, yes I'm safe, the storm made a last minute turn to the east. I released a new video today about the garden. Pray for those that weren't so lucky.

God Bless you and yours. Hope all goes well for you.

Thank you. After 5 inches of rain, all is still well, but the storm rolls through here tomorrow morning.

I'm so happy I planted the raised beds in the garden this fall, as my regular plantings would be under water now.

LOL, I can see that! Thanks for the comment and let's hope for the best.

Yea, the next 24 hours will determine how my garden and even my home fares in this storm. Praying for everyone that we survive this intact.

I appreciate that and you stay safe yourself

Good preparation, may you and yours and your garden weather the storm safely

@@jgrady9553 Thank you. I just checked and everything is ok through the 4 inches of rain we had yesterday and last night. Now they are saying we will have 8 more inches through tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

The mustard greens you see in this video are very tasty added to a salad. Gives a little spicy flavor to the salad. Later on, I usually just boil them with smoked pork neck until they are tender. Thanks for the question.

Thank you Ann. I did finish preparing before the rain has started now, and I believe it will be as bad as predicted. I'm just praying the water will stay out of the basement.

Thank you so much. I'm going to release the preparing the garden for the storm video either later tonight or tomorrow. Near the end you will see just what the garden looks like after only about the first inch of rain. And this is just the cold front thunderstorm line.

You are 100% correct. If the temps stay this warm much longer, all my greens will try to bolt and bloom way sooner that I want them to. I'm hoping for cooler weather after the storms pass.

Yes, my tomatoes that I grew from suckers have a lot of green tomatoes, but so far I haven't picked any ripe ones. I need to show them again. I'm digging the sweet potatoes next week, and I'll show the "cloned" tomatoes then.

Yes, my last test with black kow and evergreen manure products made me rethink my whole use of those products. I've stocked up on the chicken compost and will only use that next year. Glad to hear your garden picked back up. We are going to endure a flood here, the next two days, so it's going to be a challenge for awhile.

@@TheBackGardenYard Awww sorry to hear that, stay safe! and again Thanks for the test that you did no more Black kow for me

@@yolandawatson9949 Yes, most places we can get wood chips and bark for almost free.

Yea, I have to wear 2 pairs of gloves when handling the hulls to get the nuts out that are still stuck in there after they fall

Thank you! Cheers!

Usually it's because the plants are too close together. If that's the case, try thinning them some. Otherwise, it could be because there was too much nitrogen fertilizer, or a lack of bees to pollinate the flowers... Hope you still get a crop!

And thank you for watching. I will do the 100 sweet potato harvest video before the end of this month!

Asian Quince for sure!

I appreciate your thoughts, however it just wouldn't work here. As you can tell by the color of my soil, despite 13 years of adding compost and mulch, the soil is still very much clay based, and gets very compacted in the summer. Also, the land is sloped on a hillside, so I need to move the soil to keep it from washing away. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for showing me a new method to try. Can't wait!

@@shelbyr217 You are welcome. Comments like yours, keep me posting. Thanks for watching.

You are welcome. Plant this weekend, and you will be eating greens by Halloween!

Thank you Melinda, you are so kind. What I do, I do with God's help.

@@TheBackGardenYard AMEN BROTHER 🙏❤️😊

Yea, but it would be about 5 times the cost to treat my lawns as the Triazicide. Since Triazicide doesn't kill earthworms, but does kill moths, grasshoppers, and crickets, I'll probably continue to use it. Thanks for the input though.

Yea, thanks for that. I usually try to wear gloves, and if I don't, I will wash it off immediately if it touches my skin. Thanks for watching.

They destroyed my late summer garden, as I didn't want to spray bearing plants. I finally gave up and pulled up my squash, zucchini, and cucumbers. Now I have planted my fall/winter garden of mostly greens, mustards, lettuce, radish, etc. and am debating spraying them with a weaker mixture of sevin liquid to give them a fighting chance to grow until the temperature falls, and the army worm population decreases. The amount of moths I am catching in my trap is almost distressing, but I have finally noticed a decrease since I sprayed the triazicide.

Yes, sometimes it's downright discouraging to try to grow a garden, especially in August and September when the bugs are at their maximum population. Good luck...

LOL - Pass on the armadillos, they probably do more damage than the worms.

Yea, it may be the worms, and you thought it was drought or something. It doesn't take em long to turn the yard brown. If you find them and spray, it might come back before frost, depending on where you live.

Yea, the trap catches lots of mosquitoes also, but I have been amazed at the moths. I've just about lost half of my yard to the worms... But now that I've sprayed, I'm hoping maybe it will come back out in the next 2 to 3 weeks before the October cool down.

Where did you get that particular trap?

@@Balaams_Donkey It's called a Dynatrap - available on Amazon. Way overpriced, but it works great for moths, not so much for mosquitoes, but when I realize the cost for water and fertilizer for the yard, it's worth it to me.

I have been making my own seed starter mix for several years just using garden soil and bagged compost products. After this experiment, I'll just use homemade compost and garden soil, and I will also use more sand. Thanks for watching.

Yes, some of the local folks that sell compost or soil know they need to sell a good product or folks won't return. Thanks for watching.
