September Figs are STILL Producing!
This is a quick look at the fig trees I have still in various stages of production. The video was filmed on Sunday, September 29, 2024. A lot of these trees, even many of the first year trees, are pumping out a 2nd main crop! It has been an excellent year for figs in my part of SE Texas, zone 9a - just NW of Houston. Climate wise, we are still hitting the low 90s during the day with upper 60s to low 70s at night. It has also been very dry with low humidity for quite some time now. In fact, we are actually behind on our rainfall totals right now by 6+ inches. My trees have had no fertilization since July but still seem to be producing quite well. I know I won’t be able to get all the fruit...

Think Inside the Box - Planting Figs in Clay Soils
Просмотров 214Месяц назад
I live in Zone 9a in SE Texas. I am growing my figs in a suburban neighborhood just NW of Houston. The soil in my yard has several feet of clay under just a few inches of topsoil that holds the sod in place. This presents some real challenges for planting figs in ground. Unless I dig several feet deep, all the way through the clay, any hole dug in the clay will not drain and that is a problem f...
Easy Air Layering - Simple Steps for Success!
Просмотров 7283 месяца назад
Here is the process I use for air layering my fig trees. Air layering is not voodoo or sorcery! It is a great way to create a clone for your fig tree (or just about any other kind of fruit tree). An air layer, once rooted, gives you a significant jump start on the growth of a fig tree. Ideally, a branch should be at least the thickness of a pencil or maybe a Sharpie. It is also possible to air ...
Air Layer Success!
Просмотров 1183 месяца назад
About 3-4 weeks ago I set about a dozen air layers on several of my fig trees. Well, some of them are ready to be removed from their mother trees and potted up! Air layering is a fantastic way to produce clones of your successful fig trees. It is very easy to do. I will put out another video sometime in next week or so showing how simple it is to set up air layers. The day I set these it was ra...

Here is a quick comparison between two different sizes of containers that I am using for my fig trees. Since I live in suburbia and don’t have a lot of space to put all my trees in ground, I have to use containers. Ultimately, the trees will end up in either 10 gallon containers or 25 gallon containers. The 25 gallon containers are protein tubs that I get from friends and family who run cattle....

    I love this video. It is easy to understand and follow for a newbie. I just bought 2 fig trees for the first time two weeks ago in 5 gallon buckets (Ronde de Boudreaux and Smith). I am totally new and trying to learn as much as I can. Is there a best time to air layer (zone 6b Harrisburg, PA) or can it be done anytime? Also, can you make a video on how to prune for the winter?

    • @greyghostgardening5353
      @greyghostgardening5353 3 месяца назад

      @@sarahhoover2069 thanks for watching! Air layering is best in spring and summer. You will run out of time for your growing zone in another month or two. The two figs you got are fantastic varieties! Are you growing them in containers? The Smith will for sure need protection from your winter. To answer your last question, you don’t really need to prune going into winter, once the tree goes dormant, because of winter, you may want to do some pruning. Be careful over pruning the Smith. They can get wonky if you overprune them. Where I live, Zone 9a, SE Texas, we don’t get much of a winter…usually. Look for a guy named Ross Raddi or Ross the Fig Boss on RUclips. I think he lives in Philly. He is a walking, talking encyclopedia of fig knowledge. He will have lots more information relative to winterizing figs.

    Potato plants have the ability to grow roots anywhere soil touches the stems. Stems will grow more potatoes every where stems grow more roots. Stems will grow new potatoes at 2 or 3 or 4 different levels it depends on how high up you hill the plants. I usually get 1 lb of new potatoes from each level. If I don't hill potatoes I only get 1 lb of new potatoes from 1 plant. If I hill soil up high enough to have 4 levels I get 4 lbs of new potatoes from each plant. If a seed potato has 4 eyes and grows 4 plants with 4 levels it will grow 4x4=16 lbs of new potatoes. Tall 12" hills are a space saver more new potatoes per square foot of garden space. I sometimes plant like you do 100 plants produce 100 lbs of new potatoes, easy to plant, easy to harvest. 25 hilled plants produce 100 lbs of new potatoes.

    Hi from Houston! Your soil looks EXCELLENT! However, I have seen others use those containers and get much more yield.

      I think variety plays a big role. I have been trying many different varieties the past couple of years to see which produce best. Red Norland is far and away the best for our area in my opinion. I had excellent results this year with Yukon Gold…but they were planted in ground. I think here in SE Texas you had better plant super early. I’m still learning with the containers, trying to find the right balance of moisture, soil composition, and fertilization. Watch my videos from this spring’s harvest. The first was disappointing, but the 2nd was pretty good. I harvested over 150 lbs of potatoes from my containers and a 4’x8’ raised bed. I was pretty satisfied with that. I’m going to see if I can coax a few potatoes out of my fall garden this year. What kind of potatoes do you grow?

    The reason the potatoes are so small are likely due to being over watered and/or just too wet to often. Potatoes should only be watered in a container like that a few times a week once the foliage is up. Also you can boost your harvest by adding agricultural lime to the soil when you plant. Good luck on your next batch!

      Yes, some were completely dead, and some were 90% or so dead.

    If you want bigger taters in the South, Purple Viking seed potatoes and Russet and red grocery store potatoes yielded big and more inplastic pots and grow bags for me. I’m in Memphis. My inground Purple Viking not ready yet. Used 10-15 gallon containers alot of compost and leaf mulch, fertilizers and ALOT of water! Got 7-10 per potato seed.
