I could watch bumblebees 🐝 for hours. 🥰

Oh, kids love her. They rub her nose and make a wish. ❤️

If it was just a few days ago, if it were me, I'd lift them up (gently!) and settle them back in at a higher level. Water them in, too.

@@TheUpBeetGardener thank you

Pretty special... that's a tall one! Does it bloom fully every year?

@@TheUpBeetGardener I’m not sure, we live an hour away from each other. The tree is right in her patio area close to the house. I wish I knew how to attach a photo to this comment because it is stunningly beautiful. I do have a short video of it on my channel .

Oh, hey, @@Jimwashere -- reply with the link to your short video!

@@TheUpBeetGardener My videos aren’t nearly as good as yours. I don’t like to talk on camera and I have no social media besides this RUclips account so….

Oh, hey. You are most welcome. Do you have bumblebees around? Have a great rest of your week.

Thanks -- I just mixed it today with some ocean-shredded kelp and leaf mulch and placed around the garden for a summer fee. Happy gardening and thank you for your comment.

@@TheUpBeetGardener The plants will thank you for it!

@@PlasBachGarden -- Think they're smiling? I hope so!

@@TheUpBeetGardener 😊❤

OMG! How fun is that! I'm so tuned to their tone while in the garden, I know exactly who's making that buzz.

Thanks! The wind is blowing its yellow blossoms all over the garden right now… life in Alaska 🤪

Thank you! 😊🌞🍃

@@TheUpBeetGardener You are very welcome 🤗 ❤️. Please keep making videos because you are so amazing 🤩

Yes, she's a sweetie. Looks funny in the winter though, when she wears snow-hats! Have a great rest of your day.

Tropical seeds!!! 🤣

I stopped turning compost when it reaches ambient temperature as well, sometimes before. I like the idea of adding bits of leaves or what we call Alder duff, the small bits of soil plus leaf mold that collects underneath the alder trees. My best compost batches are the ones that I just let sit for a while. I guess it’s like making good wine or sourdough. Rest is best. Thank you for your comments, as I enjoy connecting with compost “chefs” Have a great rest of your week. Happy gardening from Kodiak, Alaska.

Thanks, I’m hoping to see more bumblebees 🐝 this year

Nope. Spinach survives the winter cold. Very hardy plant. Remember the roots are established in the fall... that's the secret.

@@TheUpBeetGardener thank you for getting back to me.... I'm going to try this!

@@TheUpBeetGardener thank you so much!

I feel very blessed indeed! Have a great week, Colleen.

I don’t think 🤔 it’s necessary. Just added work 😉

I’d love to be able to have that kind of space, alas I do the best I can on a tiny plot of land 😊

I use a good quality potting soil as a base. No chemical additives, microbial fungus good. I mix in some compost, about one part compost to three or four parts potting soil. And then I also feed my plants with liquid comfrey, and other liquid organic fertilizers that I make.

You are most welcome Carol. ❤️

I'll try and find that

Actually, yes. I had to apply it 2 more times because I'd either accidentally brush it away, or I got a little too aggressive withe the watering can! Have you tried it?

Oh, thank you. I hope the mini, 2-minute podcast was helpful. What topics would you like me to cover in the future? Have a great rest of your week!

Yup you still have time. Water them in after you adjust them. Give ‘em good energy, too 🥰

Yes, it might be that I'm a slow learner! 😆

Good ideas. I’ve never done the jar test but I’ll give it a go. Thanks!!! 🙏🏼

You can set it aside Rita and let it “season” for a few weeks, or just use it. Sometimes I let my last couple batches of the fall just mellow out and season over the winter. But if you have uses for your compost now, go ahead and use it!

Well, he does a lot for us... it's a neighbor thing.

Try using tulle fabric to cover. I get the 108 inch width to stretch over my mini hoops. A lot cheaper too.

@@TheUpBeetGardener ok thanks I think they are ready to harvest so 😋

Glad you like them! Happy gardening!

Gotta love those surprises!

@@TheUpBeetGardener yeah

Oh, good. I'm glad it helped. Check out the videos in the description -- especially the one about turning your compost -- it's sooooo important for keeping your compost working and not turning into a stinky, chunky mess!

Yes, onion sets, too. As for rotted onion plants, double check to make sure it's not due to fungus or larvae. Also, onions prefer a well-draining soil I hope this helps. Cheers!

They do make a sweet song 'tis true!

Thank you kindly. A lot of work -- it started as a gravel pad!

In that case, don't overdo the water, especially if the ingredients are already wet, like grass clippings. Still, check it often.

Ahhh, the compost should be damp, but not soggy. Like a rung out dish rag. Remember, the water is used up, so you need to check. If it's a tumbler, then you might not need to add much water.

@@TheUpBeetGardener ok 😊 thank you

Good to know... keep me posted, OK?
