    u have been very diligent with ur gardening in Waco, Tx. I live in NE Texas & am trying to get back in the habit of diligently gardening after taking quite a life hiatus from gardening. I have been doing gardening in many big container gardens, tubs, etc. to keep out the mice/rats/rabbits. i had a big inground garden several years ago with lots of flowers, herbs, vegies, but my health, & squirrels, rabbits, field rats even armadillos & raccoons got into my garden an dug & ate up different plants. So this year has been successful with big containers, tubs. I am trying to get into planting many more flower & herb varieties around my garden area. Its all about making new habits & getting established in them. Anyways ur flowering plants look beautiful.

      @learningwithmichelle1908 3 месяца назад

      When did you start them? Timming is the hardest part here in TX. In late december/early Jan it's time to Chit your potatoes, which means pre-sprout. I plant in ground Feb 14th and jarvest end of may early June. I haven't found any at garden centers for a fall planting, so I'm grabbing some organic ones from the store, I'll give them a rinse to wash off any chemicals and put them in a cool bright space to presprout.

    • @learningwithmichelle1908
      @learningwithmichelle1908 3 месяца назад

      I use a standard potting soil that I sift through a 1/4" hardware cloth, the main thing is no big chuncks. Big chunks of bark can keep seeds from being able to push up and germinate :D Great question. I didn't know there were different kinds of soil for my first few years, so you're well above the curve.

    Yikes so much water for you. We have had some but not like you guys. Your garden is still so lovely. I am dealing with what I think is bacterial wilt in my soil. Losing tomatoes fast! I would love to know how you manage this if you have experienced it. Also, what do you do for fire ants? I have started topping a hill with a rival hill and it seems to help but we have a lot. Thoughts maybe?

    • @learningwithmichelle1908
      @learningwithmichelle1908 6 месяцев назад

      For bacterial or fungal problems here are the steps I take. 1) stake up tomato plant. Most of the diseases come from the soil. 2) MULCH! thick mulch keeps the soil from splashing up on the plant which can spread the diseases. 3) Trim lower leaves AND any effected leaves. For Fireants treat with any organic solution that has "spinosad" as the active ingredient. This is safe for food gardens so it's what I use. I hope this helps!
