We grew Tomatillos this summer! Successfully! Wife made Salsa Verde, very good! East of Grande Prairie in Northern Alberta!
Beauty guy. From a fellow gardener on the south shore
We are still getting loads of bush beans, they are supposed to only produce for 2-3 weeks but we find in SW Ontario they slow down mid august and regularly produce until almost halloween.
Great garden this year! Regarding the cucumbers, I think that you’re right to try a new variety for a longer harvest. I planted both Calypso (pickling) and Marketmore (slicing) this year. The pickling cukes produced earlier to allow me to start fermenting in late July, but they’ve been done now for about a week. The slicers are still going strong and if I want to make dill pickles, I just pick them small. I’ve also make several batches of mustard pickles from the slicers once they get big. Thanks for the great content.
Thanks. Will probably go with Calypso next year - unless something new comes along.
Last year I decided, just for the heck of it, to pick the green tomatoes before the first frost, even the clearly immature ones. Some of them were half their normal size. I threw them in a box in the basement and ignored them for a few weeks. And they ripened up and tasted normal. Naturally, the small ones didn't grow any larger, but they pretty much fully ripened in my basement. I was a little surprised, as everyone always said to wait until they blush, but I had nothing to lose since they were going to freeze anyway. These were celebrity, roma and cherry tomatoes. I'll try it again this year for sure.
I do this too once frost becomes a concern - but if I have enough green ones I usually make green tomatoes chow because we love it :)
Green tomatoes picked still on their stem will taste vine ripened when ripe. Left on their stem makes a difference in flavor.
The rain really did a number on your garden but at least you're getting it. We've had less than a half inch in the last four or five weeks. I usually spend an hour a day watering. It's making me nuts. Oh well ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Similar story. Good potato harvest, all in. Beans prolific, despite the Japanese beetles, but still cropping. Good results with beets and carrots. I sowed radish, turnip, cabbage, and pak choy in the empty garden beds and I’ll soon be harvesting those. Summer squash slowing down, but we had enough. San Marzano and various cherry tomatoes have been plentiful, no problems whatsoever.
For some reason cucumber beetles were scarce this year (yay) and my first succession of cukes are still producing. My favourite eating variety that seems to withstand the wilt that the beetles usually impart to my vines is Summer Dance and boy are they productive! Not the greatest for pickles though - they wrinkle up. I tried Avenger for pickles this year and it is still producing. This was my first season for those so I don't have much experience to go on for how they do year after year. S. Ontario.
Good to know!
Your berry plants look great!
Greg, Curious which variety of Cuke you had trouble with in your region/garden? I have a few growing that simply struggled in my garden (7a/b Cape Cod Massachusetts). Maritme? Yep... about 2 miles wide, total from bay to Atlantic. Not high winds, but definitely a shore climate. (I have space80, straight 8, Muncher, as well as Boston Pickling). The Muncher was OK, the straight 8 and space80 both were very poor this year. Pickling was fine. Have you decided on a variety for next year?Decent year for Zucchini, yellow squash, butternut and spaghetti squash. OK for tomato, onion, bad bugs hit my peppers at transplant. Excellent for garlic and herbs.
I usually plant from seed on my grow lights each yr. Year 4 of similar growing in Grow Bags. New Soil/my own Compost and peat growing medium.
They've all grown well for me - its just that some shut down a little earlier than others. These were "regal" next year IU might try calypso or maybe avenger
I find that waiting till fruit is super ripe before picking it will result in a lot of loss to insects. Especially slugs.
Yes good point!
Awesome update. Though 20c is very cool to me, and very Autumny?!?! I bet that’s not a thing but you get the idea.
I liked the pond very much. How many fish can it hold on average? Do you feed them or is more like self sustaining?
It had 12 - but they had babies and not i don;t know how many are in there. I think it should have about 10 - so I am way over the carrying capacity of the pod.
In Qc here, my malabar was short like yours,but growing like crazy in the last week, so wait it out a bit?
I'm in FL and my Malabar spinach thrived with very little care, from seed. My pumpkins suck.
Might as well give them as much time as possible right
Malabar spinach is perennial only in tropical climates. Perhaps you meant caucasian spinach (hablitzia)?
It's Malabar spinach - that's why I know it will not survive the winter :)
I want to try that swiss chard, I need slug proof!
You won't be sorry
Did you plant the sturon onions from seed or set of bulbs?
onion sets
what is the variety of tomato, please ,thank you
Premio
What was the variety of disease resistant tomato you showed and raver about?
premio
@@maritimegardening4887thanks! I just did a big veseys seeds order...plus 11lbs of seed garlic! We go through so much and would love to be able to have enough for our own seed next year. Just an idea for s video...all your favorite varieties of everything! We are learning from neighbours and friends. I have a neighbour who has the most incredible peppers you would never believe grown outdoors. She suggested the Carmen as well as a few others. We are lucky to get local advice but your videos have never left us astray! Our simple Ruth Stout potato garden where there was just weedy grass worked AMAZING and now we have a whole new garden patch for next year!
What is that bean called?
"fortex"
I was wanting to dig up a couple hot pepper plants but I’m not sure when I should when, does everybody else dig theirs up?
NOt sure - i've never done that. Before the frost for sure!
I grow potatoes outside the fence. Usually deer proof. This year the deer continually ate the potatoes leaves off. So I got a couple potatoes per plant. Anyone ever hear of deer eating potatoes?
wow - the leaves are kinda poisonous
@@maritimegardening4887 I know LOL
They gotta be messed up on Lyme disease
How is the aronia?
It's leafing out good
What’s your zone?

Nope, Malabar spinach dies with frost in z6b
