    You're doing a great job companion planting beans with the cucurbits (luffa) because the beans add nitrogen back into the soil and the cucurbits love that!

    Bre, if you decide to get rid of your pumpkin plant, turn the pumpkin leaves into Muboora or Pucuk Labu. They have a very mild delicious flavor reminiscent of a mixture of green beans, broccoli, spinach and asparagus.

    You know to pick camomile when the flower doest’t completely open anymore (the white part).😁
    Love the flowers great idea to contain them with strings
    The Onions look great Bre, you should stop feeding the onions once they have bulbed, they get their energy from the green tops, hence don’t require fertiliser.
    I’d leave the pumpkin, could be a nice pumpkin.😁🇦🇺

    Check the soil ph in those areas to me it looks like high alkaline. I had that issue and have been able to correct it using a soil acidifier. Alot of people contribute it to herbicide damage or spray damage but my native soil is high alkaline so if I don't acidify it my plants look like your tomatoes or my beans don't sprout well. It has very similar affects.

Using the volunteer tomatoes and potatoes. Will be harvesting soon for the first time my garlic that I planted last fall. Also growing watermelon again. It's the best tasting ever! You should try it. Hopefully the raspberry patch which is soon to be picked will do better. The last few years the berries have been very tiny. Check out on RUclips how to braid your garlic. ❤ 🎉

    Those cosmos that you call the bright light I think we’re called the start a Sunburst. I think I’ve heard so many names for them. I’ve been growing those for 20 years. They will produce their own seed so what I do is I put them up somewheres I get like a coffee jar And by the end of the season I’m full of them and I will put them in paper envelopes seeds and I will pass them out to them for the next season, but they are beautiful the bumblebee. I have a lot of bumblebee here love them and they’re great for the veggies for pollination so right now I focused on cucumbers for pickling and I’m doing well, but I have tons and tons of Those cosmos and bring the bees and bring the pollinators and it’s just Lovely 💚💚🌱

    Your tomato at 18:37 looks like it might have herbicide 2,4 D drift damage.. the leaves look non-symmetrical. Maybe your neighbor treated their yard? I usually see this every year in May/June due to neighbors treating their yards. Plants usually recover in a few weeks when it heats up.

    • @itsbreellis
      @itsbreellis  6 месяцев назад

      That’s exactly what happened. I saw a neighbor treating about 2 weeks ago. Makes sense to me. I was worried when I saw them doing it. It was a super windy day the day they did.

      @@itsbreellis It's lucky if it's only on one or two tomatoes.. 2,4-d drift has more severe impact on pepper plants stunting growing for a month and reducing yields. Also check your beans/peas/eggplants nearby.

    • @melbee1000
      @melbee1000 6 месяцев назад

      I agree. I would consider getting rid of soil. Watch roots and refuge they dealt w this in a hoop house. They used mushroom compost to deal w the soil but didn’t grow in it for years. If it got in your raised beds I would consider replacing soil or at least planting a green bean. Apparently green beans will show signs quickly. You could plant a green bean in each bed to see how it does or if contaminated? Just a thought

    • @lettucesalad3560
      @lettucesalad3560 6 месяцев назад

      @@melbee1000 2,4-D is different than Grazon that Roots and Refuge had. Nightshade plants are particularly sensitive to phenoxy herbicides even at super low levels. After 2 weeks, the 2,4-D wouldn't be detectable.
      The phenoxy herbicide mimics plants natural growth regulators, which tell the plant to grow more.... so the plant grows so much it dies, at the low rates that's why tomato plant grew like thin and twisty leaves and branches. Since phenoxy herbicides affect how a plant grows it take 1-3 week after exposure to show the abnormal growth.
      This is my 4th year with 2-4,D drift on my garden, even though I don't treat my yard by my garden.

    Make sure you keep your garlic seperate when you pull them this year I know last year you were sorry you didn’t. I planted Mexican sunflower last year they were stunning about the colour of your orange cosmo and grew into a big multi branched plant with heaps of flowers for quite a few months well into autumn . Why not try lettuces against the shaded side of the fence. And maybe look at shade plants for that area cleaned by the hens. Love your garden and quite annoying as we are in winter I have rainbow chard lettuce, radish,onions, garlic,and cauliflower in at the moment the marigolds and calendula are still in flower and herbs are ok. But that is me for winter in Victoria Australia

  • @astridcook424
    @astridcook424 6 месяцев назад

    It looks like the (new) soil in your tomato grow bags may have some persistent herbicide contamination, like aminopyralid. It causes leaf curling and “stringier” leaves (instead of lush foliage). If you want to check, you can do what is commonly called a “bean test”. Good news is the herbicide does eventually wash out, just takes a year or two.

    • @itsbreellis
      @itsbreellis  6 месяцев назад +3

      I had that thought but all my other areas I have the same new soil are thriving. I did have a neighbor spraying a few weeks back and I wondered if there was a drift because prior they looked beautiful for the first few weeks they were planted. This just started about a week or 2 ago after I saw spraying but I figured more areas of the garden I would see affected. Honestly not to sure. Not ruling any of it out!
