    LOL Scott. I love you.
    Do marshmallows grow better if you mulch them with Lucky Charms?

    • @eklectiktoni
      @eklectiktoni 10 месяцев назад +6

      I'm pretty sure Lucky Charms have the perfect NPK for marshmallow bushes. Of course the downside is they aren't organic. I'd give it a shot though.

    I would love to see you go on a trip to the South Pole and shoot an episode on the ice cream bushes there.
    It's amazing to me how through their cross-breeding the ice cream gardeners keep on producing new varieties.
    This video was a "treat"

  • @JSAC66
    @JSAC66 10 месяцев назад +13

    It would interesting to see you develop a hybrid marshmallow variety through cross breeding. I bet you could make the little ones taste even better.

I have a lot a rabbit problems in London and often find i don't have many left when it comes to harvesting times. Thank you so much for reminding me to do a stake out. I recommend that frog suit from the amazson. Those guys won't see you with those red and and white stripes!

    I have a hot cocoa plant in my garden. They grow amazingly well here in Wyoming because we too have a rollercoaster of weather but we also have dry, alkaline soil which is perfect for newly developing hot cocoa buds. Come next fall those beautiful spring buds will turn into pods of hot chocolate just ready for the picking as the temperatures again start to go up and down erratically. Thanks for sharing this video…I am definitely going to see about adding a marshmallow bush to my yard. It’s sure to be a hit with the dog and the grandkids, too!🃏

    Mine always seem to ripen during the evening of March 31. Quirk of nature, I guess. I've had some luck grafting the marshmallow to a graham tree. Resulting fruit has a crumbly skin adding a nice texture and flavor. Cheers!

    We cut down an old marshmallow tree the other week, and I milled up some boards on my sawmill. It was very white kind of like white pine, but it was too soft to use. Had a really good sweet smell though. I still prefer walnut over Mallowood.

    @baneverything5580 10 месяцев назад +1

    One winter I saw potato vines growing though a crack from underneath the storage spot under the house. Potatoes had formed under there on TOP of the soil. So I tried planting sweet potatoes and covered the planting area with plywood propped up on bricks and let the vines grow out the sides and put straw and leaves around the edge to block light and hold in moisture. Huge clean sweet potatoes formed on top of the ground beneath it. Cardboard/boxes should work to do this with either type if it can be supported and kept lifted above the soil. But even lifting it may not be needed for success. I`m gonna experiment with this since my soil is shallow and terrible and also try to figure out a way to grow them this way with a water/nutrients solution. Some people will actually BELIEVE you can grow marshmallows. Ha!

I’m going to search until I find a marshmallow bush for my yard. Hopefully I can find one that has been bred to produce more strawberry marshmallows than white ones. If anyone here finds a source for that, please share a link.
