    From a professional pepper grower: harvest your 1st pepper on a plant before it is full size as this encourages the plant to produce more flowers thus more peppers. And you can plant them fairly close as peppers like to touch.

      I have so much trouble with peppers!!! Last season and this season have been really awful for me. My plants never get over like 8 or 9 inches tall and if they produce any fruit at all, it's basically just one pepper. ): I don't know what's happening because I used to grow really good peppers but it seems like since the pandemic there's been a shift. Maybe I'm paranoid??? Like why would it affect JUST pepper plants??? LMAO I don't know.

    The disease on your pear tree is pear rust. It comes from the juniper berry plants in your garden or surroundings ( sometimes up to 100 meters away). Best way to get rid of it is to get rid of the juniper berry plants and than take of the effected leaves on your pear tree. Do NOT compost the leaves but throw them away. In the winter completely get rid of all the leaves, again throw them away. It should get better next year then.

    • @shanewilliams4603
      @shanewilliams4603 Год назад +8

      Alternatively(if you want to keep the juniper berry plants/trees), you can't spray the pear trees with fungicide to kill thje pear rust because the approved fungicide isn't safe to eat. But you could spray the juniper plants (assuming you don't use juniper berries or avoid using until following year) o prevent the spores from getting in and/or over-wintering there. Also, the scab on your pears is likely Pear Scab. If they grow big enough, you may still eat the pears, just peel them 1st. It's recommended planting resistant varieties OR applying 2-5 treatments of fungicide. I suppose if it doesn't look like you'll get pears that can be eaten that you could spray the trees for both types of fungus. Since you won't be eating from them this year anyway. Just wait till you harvest the fruit from the other trees 1st.

    Nasturtium seeds are SO EASY to save, so I highly recommend it. To know if they're ready, pick them as you would raspberries- if you have to tug on them at all, they're not ready. Then just let them dry inside the house COMPLETELY. They'll look like little brains, and they are one of the few flower seeds I've encountered that doesn't have any kind of seed pod so there's absolutely no mess to deal with. Definitely worth the few minutes of harvesting to save money on the seeds, especially if you're just trying to get a flower out of it and are less particular about the variety.

    Your garden looks amazing! I would try sprinkling food grade diatomaceous earth around the base of your plants that are being infested by ants. DE is all natural and is an excellent non-toxic ant killer. If it rains you’ll need to reapply but it’ll be worth it if it can get your ant problem under control. Also, DE is good to have around because it also works on aphids, beetles, slugs, earwigs, cockroaches, bed bugs and fleas.

      It is also good to remember to make sure you're not putting DE in or on the flowers - let's protect the pollinators that come to the garden. 😊 We wait until late afternoon, when most of the bees have left our garden to apply DE or Neem oil solution (with a little bit of soap in the water). I haven't noticed if Neem works with ants, but the DE certainly does - it just takes diligence and a few applications and they're gone.

    Corn is a heavy feeder. Yours looks great. I would fertilize every other week. At the base of the stalks so you will get ears of corn. Wind shakes the tassels and pollinate them. If you don't get wind shake the stalks when they start tasseling. Trim your zucchini plants to allow air and it will increase your yield. I was always skeptical. Now every year I cut back some of the long leaf stalks. I get tons of it. It also makes it easier for pollinators to get to the female flowers.

    If your like to safely get rid of those ant, use corn meal! Sprinkle it around liberally, especially on the anthill directly if you know where it is. It will take some time, but they'll carry the meal down to eat, but they can't digest it and it will wipe them out . I've used cornmeal a couple times and it works!

    Every year when I get inundated with more zucchini than I can eat, I shred them up and freeze them in 2-cup portions, for use year-round for zucchini bread! When you defrost them, the water will separate from the shreds -- but that's OK! Just dump it all into your mix (water and all!). I've sometimes had bags of shredded zucchini in my freezer for up to 2 years, and it has still made delicious zucchini bread!

    Becky, the cider party sounds fun! Have you ever thought of giving your excess harvest to your local food bank? They almost never get fresh produce and people are thrilled when it shows up. It's a nice way to express your gratitude for your bounty.

I can’t wait to see how you revamp the sellers garden and the future build of the cattle panel greenhouse. Look at all your accomplishments! 🎉Make Apple fritters, apple pie, apple compote for pancakes or ice cream, apple Brown Betty, and apple butter for rolls and biscuits.

    We have a short Spring here in the South. My cilantro used to bolt quickly. But a FB friend told me a shortcut I have used ever since. I pour out my seeds on a countertop and cover them with a paper towel or napkin. I lay a large book on top of the paper towel. I gently press down on the book enough to crack the dried seeds. Just enough to not smoosh the inside of the seed. This helps them germinate so much faster.

    Wave petunia is designed to flow vs normal ones. So yes if you want greenstalk covered fully grow waves.
    Horse manure (cow, chicken, goat) is hot and could be reason pinto beans not germinating. You need to compost animals manure before adding to soil. Typically 1 season. The breaking down is causing the plants to lack nitrogen.
    Rabbit manure is only exception you can add anytime. That really could overall be your issue with the beds needed liquid fertilizer.
