I mean it’s not “too” big. Haha! But I just meant it’s time to clean it up and harvest. Mine has almost completely dried. I’ll be bottling it up soon.

No I didn’t say that. I got these with no fruit found 3 days before. They grow fast once they are germinated.

Nice! Yeah it gets a bit too cold out there without a greenhouse right? Not enough length of growing season for them?

@@Escapingthedailygrind Luckily they are fast growing, so that by the end of October they can be harvested.

Awesome! What are the temps there at the end of October? Usually for us, late October is the first time of the year we need to start wearing jackets at night. The temps will drop to 60’s at night. Sometimes even 50’s. But days are still usually 70’s. Of course during the summer here we are hitting 100+ every day with night temps usually not dropping below 85.

@@Escapingthedailygrind At the end of October the temperature here can reach 50F (10C) or below. In November we usually start getting frost, that is why I grow my melon in the greenhouse as it can be kept frost free. I also grow bitter melon here that you can see on my Channel.

Oh that’s similar here. November is usually our first frost. What time of year is your last frost? Ours is usually late February. I always thought of Europe being much colder than here in Texas.

I got mine from drip depot. Here is a video of me hooking up an extra section to my drip lines. ruclips.net/video/AaGgCSLNFSQ/видео.htmlsi=5c9fig6cTKYu6Z0c

I occasionally do manually when I see the baby fruits. Not all of these are

@@Escapingthedailygrind that why you have good results 👍🦄🌈

Awesome thanks for the recommendation

it is not Recommendation , im doing " Hydroponics " 20 feet / 35 meeters off-the ground , and All Professional " indoor " Growers do Manual Polination because Lady-Bugs And Bees Cant Pick-Locks in Order to Polinate by Nature , Even the Ventilation is not enough to Polinate so Most of us Do it By Hand , Real Best Results ❤👍

​@@Escapingthedailygrind Keep Us Updated with Future Videos when HARVEST Time comes 👍❤🎉

Maybe, I would research that. I’m not 100% sure one way or another honestly.. I know regular peas are, but many beans are not. So not sure.

Thanks, God bless you and your family as well

@@Escapingthedailygrind you’re welcome. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@DeathMaster657 yeah I probably should have gotten the seeds from a store bought your right. I ended up buying another packet when I saw the other one produced something wrong. This variety of sweet pepper is called Gypsy hybrid and it seems to grow well in this heat. As for habanero, I like spice but my family does not. I used to love very spicy foods, would order the spiciest plates at Indian restaurants, and would try to find the spiciest hot sauces. Now that I’m older, my body doesn’t agree with it as much anymore and I just can’t go super spicy anymore. Haha! But I do like the hot sauce I’m making, a little zing but it’s more about the flavor for me with it. Super good flavor.

@@Escapingthedailygrind I'll have to look into the gypsy hybrid. I grow mostly hot peppers because they grow well for me and have good flavors. Anaheim is definitely top 5 in flavor department for me. I definitely recommend serranos, cayenne, and lemon drop peppers if you ever look for a step up. All are in the 30,000-50,000 scoville range if I recall, so manageable with tolerance development.

Cool thanks for the recommendations. I’ll check them out.

Good recommendation, next one I build I’ll look into doing that. I personally don’t have tons of rodents no. I do get a couple under my house but not many. Little field live occasionally

@@jeffjackson5331 good to know, ya for now I’ll keep the sprouts. Unless someone tells me otherwise

@@Escapingthedailygrind yeah i am just guessing. How many seeds dod you put in each hole, i forget?

2, but I cut down the extras. And even so, all these are growing out of the side of the main corn stock not like a 2nd one in the ground.

@@Escapingthedailygrind yeah i would say that is normal. I don't much on how they grow but for all the years being around farm country and running thru corn fields, i am pretty they had that happen too. I wouldn't worry about them.

Yeah this one didn’t quite turn yellow but had to be picked as the vine wasn’t going well. But still tasted absolutely amazing! We let it ripen a bit on the counter, and it was great!

@@user-kj5uv2ls9x thanks

So collect them, keep them inside on the counter, then put them out with momma? How do you know when she wants to go broody?

Well 1st I don’t have a 2nd run. But another problem is, when I introduced the ones I hatched into the flock, it took until week 14 or so before the others would try and kill them. Even then they got beat up. So I’m not sure that’s the best way either. Heck, some full grown hens I’ve introduced get beat up a little in the beginning. It’s the pecking order; how nature is.

@@Escapingthedailygrind Yeah, the pecking order is not nice. I just like them to be the same size when I put them together to make it as 'fair' as possible, but I don't think there is a 'wrong' way necessarily. Do whatever works for you 😋 and your chickens.

Yes the pecking order for sure isn’t nice. But I mean don’t they continually do that throughout their whole lives? I could be wrong. But it seems like they are always trying to find their own dominance in the flocks. The ones I added at 14 weeks got pecked a bit, and were also a bit smaller than the other hens, but settled in after keeping their distance. Now some of them are right in the middle of the pecking order, while some still are low. I respect the way you do it also, I just don’t have a second run currently, or have the money to get one.

@@Escapingthedailygrind In my experience, if I add them as pullets (or smaller than the mature ones), they will always be picked on and under them even when they are the same size. I assume it must be similar with humans. If you're picked on by someone bigger as a kid, you suffer from a traumatic response or PTSD, and always cower to the bully, regardless of your size. If I let them get together at different sizes, the small ones always have that PTSD response to the others. Now this is just for the hens. The males will eventually realize they are stronger than the hens who beat them down, but they seem more aggressive as adults if they were picked on in their youth. I can't tell you if this always happens or if their are other factors involved, that I have not noticed, but I have kept chickens most of my life, and this has been my personal experience. I don't always have a second run either. Sometimes there is no other way than to put them together. I totally understand, and I'm glad some of your 14 weekers have found some middle ground in their pecking order. I'm sure there are other factors, like breed, and individual personality's of the birds, and other stuff. I have done it both ways too. Money is tight for me as well. It sounds like your chickens are doing great either way! 😁

Thanks!

@@Escapingthedailygrind you're welcome 😁 Happy to be here 🙏🎉

Thanks

@@Escapingthedailygrind you’re welcome

I’m sure that’s fine, but it will break down very quickly if that’s all you add. Maybe add the logs on the bottom, then top with the corn stalks.

How do you pre-sprout? Like soak them in water?

@@Escapingthedailygrind Yes I soaked them in water until they sprouted. You can see then which ones are good.

Good idea

Thanks!

@@Escapingthedailygrind you’re welcome

Wow! Lucky you! Haha! I have the worst luck with roosters. First batch of birds I got like 8 or something. I ended up with only 3 hens out of that bunch. Then had to buy some laying hens to supply the flock. Then now with 4 chicks I hatched, one died and two are roosters. We will see what happens with this new batch. Haha

@@Escapingthedailygrind It may be the tendencies of the species too. We selected to breed only leghorns since we ended up with brown leghorn rooster a couple years ago with some white and brown hens; we wanted purebreds. Easy to identify the eggs too. They are the only white egg layers we have.

Ya way better

Thanks

@@Escapingthedailygrind you’re welcome

Thanks! So do they transplant well? I hear all the time that corn doesn’t do well with transplanting. I might try that some time if it works for you. Any tips on how to keep it alive on transplant

@@Escapingthedailygrind Just pop 'em in the ground and water them. Mulch helps. couldn't be easier! Try it next time and you'll never go back.

I can see this being beneficial for an early planting for sure, get the corn in the ground a few weeks early and not risk frost.

That does sound great! Thanks for the recipe.

@@Escapingthedailygrind if you try it and like it, post it. It was really good, especially as a snack or desert. I just picked some and made up the recipe.

Thanks

@@Escapingthedailygrind you’re welcome

You also!

@@Escapingthedailygrind will do

Glad it helped. Honestly I’m not sure it really makes much of a difference. Maybe increase in cucumber beetles and squash bugs but I don’t think so. I only saw one squash bug in this bed, but dozens In the other squash bed. lol

Oh and yes, high yield bone meal. It was $4/bag at my local farm store. I bought like 5 bags! Haha!

@@Escapingthedailygrind Dang you cant beat that its 10 dollars a bag here lol. Im located in West Viriginia. Thanks again man.

It was a special sale, the store was going to stop carrying it, and had like 20 bags left heavily discounted. They said no one buys them anymore so they dropped the prices. They also had blood meal for $6/bag and cottonseed meal for $3/bag. I got so much that day! Haha

I mean the squash vine borers definitely took them out. No matter how healthy a plant is, those squash vine borers are terrible

@@Escapingthedailygrind How do you know that the vines weren't already damaged by something else and the borers were just cleaning up dead plant matter? Do vultures attack zebras? If you see firemen at a burning house does that mean they destroyed the home?

God bless you as well

That costs way too much money. Lol

I think it’s worth it as a cover crop, and I’m just saving the seed. Next year it will be easier as I will do it a bit different. But as saving grain? No probably not for making bread or something. Haha!

I always thought heating up rock could cause it to explode? Don’t they make those ovens out of clay?

@@Escapingthedailygrind put the big ones in fire those that don’t explode you can use

@@Escapingthedailygrind or just make the base out of it

They are relatively calm now, he isn’t terrorizing at all. Just when they try to eat he chaises them off. But they get plenty of food. I still don’t know 100% if there are roosters or not, so I will wait and see till I’m 100% then eat whichever are roosters. I’m sorry if that bothers you, but the meat we eat at the grocery store comes from animals living worse lives. Way worse.

I have raised beds, raised beds cost lots of money on large scale. I just tilled up a 20x30 section where I can basically get 7 beds in that are 3x20. Most raised beds are 3x6 or 4x8. Would require 3 at least to equal the square footage of one of these beds in ground. That’s 21 total to equal the growing footage of this plot. At $100+ each metal raised bed on Amazon, that’s $2100 in just the beds, then the soil to fill them. That’s even more expensive. That’s about $2500 for raised bed soil to fill 12” deep. So a little under $5k? Naw I’m good with just tilling. Haha!

I did dilute yes. Tell me how your plants do

Will do. Thanks for the videos! Hate these buggers, missed it till yesterday cause I was totally concentrated on the squash bugs and their offspring and eggs.

Yeah squash are so difficult! Haha! They would be the easiest thing to grow though if it weren’t for the pests

How to dilute? What ratio??

​@@susanbaker6564 I did not dilute last week. This week I used 5 parts water to 1 part BT. I'm not seeing anymore borers, however it's back to the squash bugs who are taking over at this point.

Why did you only eat eggs?

God bless you!

Thanks, but in this heat we are having (100 most days) it’s far from cool…. Hahaha!

@@Escapingthedailygrind oh yeah that sucks

You think the other two are hens? That would be good ya.

Oh I’m ok with chicken dinner. Lol! These birds are healthier than what you get in the grocery store. I mean it’s a shame. Since we put so much effort into raising them. The main one we wanted was the silver Phoenix hen that unfortunately died. We had 4 chicks and 1 died randomly at like 6 weeks. The momma hen died and we wanted to raise up the daughter to replace her. But that never happened.

Thanks

@@Escapingthedailygrind you're welcome

Yeah man, it was longer than I thought or wanted. Those little chicks stunk the house up bad by the time they were 6 weeks old. Lol.

Yeah we love garlic also! I just wish it didn’t rot. If your weather is less humid I bet it will dry faster and you probably can get a full harvest.

@@Escapingthedailygrind well you know how my weather gets here in Western Pa lol. It's a crap shoot on what the weather will be like at any given moment lol.

True, but there is a dry season isn’t there? If I would have picked these maybe a month later than I did, they would have had it drier. You live you learn.

@@Escapingthedailygrind drought wise no. We were close to record highs last week but normally its low to mid 80's with rain often(lately). Yep, live and learn.

Oh man, I wish we had rain right now. It hasn’t rained for 2 weeks and doesn’t look like any in the forcast for the next few weeks. Pushing 100 degrees every day, it’s tough to keep my plants alive. Haha!

The directions say 1-4 days after application depending on the veggies. I think it’s safe. It’s a bacteria that only effects specific bugs. Apparently it doesn’t even bother bees. However I am not a scientist or know a ton about this so, I’m just going off what I’ve read. Do some research on it to make sure you feel comfortable with it.

From what I understand BT is safe for humans and pets. Sevin is toxic to "bad" bugs but will also kill beneficial insects and bees.

The 55 gallon one was $75, this was $150, so double price but to do two 55 gallons which I was going to do, would have been same price and this holds 150 more gallons

Btw, it was a place that buys them all used and re-conditions them. All of them had pickles or olive oil in them, no chemicals or petroleum products

It is really silly for sure. So Texas as a whole has been a bit strict in the past because they say you’re stealing from their aquifer. But if your using it, then your using less from the city water which is from the aquifer. But it’s about money and not really how much usage. It is really silly. Luckily the HOA is fine with the water collection. And they allow chickens, but that’s it. I sure wish I could get goats!

@@Escapingthedailygrind What hubris that they claim that they own all the water but yeah they really just want that water to pass through their meter so they get their cut because obviously the world would come to an end without taxes! It's the same reason we don't have Tesla's tower technology to transmit and receive electrical power wirelessly which can't be metered to individual houses and the energy is right in the air so there's no one to pay to generate it. That was Tesla's intent that you could power your homestead with a one time cost to pull electricity directly out of the air like you can tap into a well to get water. Now we have all these ugly wires running all over the place so we can all have a hamster-wheel meter to pay their rigged rates on every kWh thanks to JP Morgan.

Oh man! Yeah I would have loved to get some good tubing for it. Nothing from Home Depot or Lowe’s would have worked. I found something similar but it was super thin and fragile. I thought the sun would have corroded it in a month. Haha!! Thanks I’m glad you like the setup. Thanks anyway

@@Escapingthedailygrind oh i bet they didn't. I think the former home owner bought this tubing for the sump pump for our old pool. Oh yeah probably. You are very welcome my friend. You have a wonderful week brother.🙏🏻🙏🏻

Oh ok I’ll be looking for some pool supply stores now. Thanks for the heads up

@@Escapingthedailygrind yeah the pump they had and i still have is a portable version. They probably picked it up at HomeDepot or 84 Lumber. Pool stores do carry hoses for pool pumps and stuff that may work for your setup.

I think so. Haha! Thanks man! God bless you

@@Escapingthedailygrind 👍🏻 you’re welcome my friend. God Bless you and your family as well my friend.

Oh good to know, it’s the Japanese hull-less variety

@@Escapingthedailygrind Looks like that's an heirloom variety. If so, the dent corn will probably pollinate some of it. I hope I'm wrong.

I hope so also! Oh well if so, I’ll just grind it all up for flour

Thanks
