  • Welcome to my vlog channel and thank you so much for watching! I've been wanting to make a raised bed and grow fruits and vegetables in my garden...and finally did it! A lot of our neighbors are farmers and they give us vegetables they grow all the time so I'm hoping I can give my fruits and vegetables back soon!

      Looking forward to seeing your first harvest 😁Please make sure you get bird/animal safe netting!!
      It is very sad seeing birds and other creatures getting tangled, hurt and killed by the wrong kinds of netting being used

      Thank you for the video.
      It's allways amazing to see, just how much effort goes into these projects.
      I feel like a lazy person, my appartment doesn't get much sunlight and while I want to grow flowers and such, there isn't much that I can do here. 😭
      It's just my opinion, but I think, just using the vegetables your neighbors give you, is already something you "give back". If I would grow more, than I can use and sell, I would be happy to know, that it's not going to waste. There is only so much you can use yourself after all. Seeing vegetable becoming bad, is rather sad. And knowing that the person I give those vegetables to, is a good cook, would make me rather proud.
      And who knows, maybe they saw some of your videos and enjoyed the recipes you shared?😊
      I can understand your view too, that you want to give something tangible back. Well, give it time, I'm sure it will come. (I really need to start to listen to my own advice... I'm rather impatient over something and need to wait too 🙃 I'm a lot less graceful about it, than you. I'm just glad, that noone seems angry about it)
      The rised bed looks great. No wonder Haku likes it.
      Well, I wish you a great harvest. 🥰
      Lots of love from europe🤗

      I know the struggle of getting produce from neighbors and not knowing how to repay them, lol! I had a neighbor at my previous apartment who worked at a food bank and sometimes gave us fruits that the bank still had. I once turned some plums she gave into a plum cobbler. I had never made a plum cobbler before, only a cherry cobbler, but the ones she gave us were so sour, I figured baking them was probably the best use for them. I gave her a large plate of it and hope she enjoyed it. It tasted better on day two and beyond, once it sat in the syrup and became sweeter.

    Careful with planting paprika and peppers next to each other, they are cousins and when the pollinators come they may cross pollinate and the plants will hybridise

    The garden bed came out really good, it's great you remembered the arbor to repurpose as a bird net, keep an eye on your blueberry bushes as some birds will try to eat the berries even before they ripen. One thing I learned about growing any sort of peppers is fruitflies love them and also citrus, since you have both planted in your garden you will probably have to spray to keep the fruitflies away (I've had to do that every summer, even the hottest peppers don't deter them).

  • @sanlyn9
    @sanlyn9 Год назад +1

    In America we prune the bottoms of our pepper plants 12 inches up and pinch off the bottom leaves to improve pepper production as well prevent root diseases. The important distinction is to pinch the lower leaves off, and not snip them off as that will leave the capillaries of the leaf open and the plant will “bleed”. In any case, I hope this information is useful to you! Your garden looks incredible, and I got some ideas of my own from it for my future plans. Happy Gardening sir!

    Yes! Blueberries are native to the americas, and are common in the southern US! They're called 'Rabbit Eye' because the white to pink-ish berries can look like an eye with an iris, like a big rabbit's eyes. There's lots of different varieties, but these are some of those most common for producing big fruits. You may want to consider bird netting- as they're very popular with wildlife! Good luck with them!

    @allithenerd Год назад

    Just a word of warning: peppers cross-pollinate very easily. If you don't like spicy stuff, i'd have rachel taste the peppers that aren't supposed to be spicy first. My parents have had almost all of their dozen or so pepper plants come out in different degrees of spice because of the 2 or 3 chili plants they had out there.
    Also, pine is a good mulch for blueberries. Pine is fairly acidic and as it breaks down over time it'll help maintain the pH. If you mix a bit of sulphur in with it, it'll make some of that acidity accessible to the plants more quickly.

    I've seen lots of people use the method of painting rocks the color of whatever fruit they've got planted (in their case it was strawberries) so that when the birds go down to try and eat them, they learn that they're not food, and so they left the real fruits alone. It could be worth trying out :)

    Jun, in a raised garden, you want the soil all the way to the top. The soil does settle a bit after awhile so you want to allow for that settling by initially bringing up the soil to the top. Also, look into no-dig gardening. By cultivating, you're bringing up weed seeds up into the raised bed.

    Oh, and blueberries LOVE WELL DRAINING SOIL so you might have to keep an eye on how much water they get where you've put them. Ideal place for them is on the side of a hill, but second to that is a somewhat rocky place, and not having that around, little watering sessions many times over one big soak and they do well, they do love water, they just don't want it all at once like that too often.

    Glad you remembered to guard the blueberries! A long time ago, I was driving past a blueberry farm and a bird pooped on my window. They must have eaten a lot of blueberries because the poop looked like a bloodsplat! Scared me 😂

    the birds at 2:35 activated my Need to Bird ID since there was no label, but all i could really get from the call is that they're raptors. so i imported the sound to Merlin and they think it's a black kite; the soundbite was similar but i noticed it was from India, so i thought perhaps there is a subspecies in Japan with a different call accent. and yea!! black-eared black kite (Milvus migrans lineatus), and its soundbites are closer to the calls in the video!

    It looks so cool! But planting hot and bell peppers side by side isn't really the best idea, since the tastes get mixed together eventually (it's because of the bees, as far as I know?..)

    I would recommend avoiding peat moss as much as possible because the way they farm it is very irresponsible and not sustainable unless you know the specific brand is sustainable. I would recommend searching up how peat moss is farmed if you're curious
