Blueberries in Abundance
Speaker: Master Gardener Jeff Jenks
December through February is a great time to plan and prepare the soil for blueberry bushes once they become available in garden stores. Blueberry bushes are a lovely addition to the landscape and produce berries that are nutritious and have a high anti-oxidant value, but they can be tricky to grow in Santa Clara County. Proper site selection and soil preparation are key. You will also want to know how to choose the right varieties, how to buy and transplant your plants, and how to care for them for optimal berry production. This talk is presented by Master Gardener Jeff Jenks who has been growing and eating blueberries for years.

AMAZING VIDEO!!!
Excellent. It would be pleasing to know more. Good wishes.
Thank you! This was very helpful to a beginner.
this video brings me back to basics. On my Island, live and survive off this wonderful fruit
Such a fun video, June seems early to harvest for me. I'm always getting them in September.
How long can you keep the sock on the cob?
After pollination you can put on the sock. When the ear is ready for harvest, remove the sock and pick the ear.

When is the best month to plant onion seeds?
If my artichoke has already bloomed, should I leave it or does pruning it back stimulate more buds to form next season?
We deadhead the stems after harvest.
Thank you for sharing. I love this plant
Does the prickly chayote grow the same way? Just bought one today and it's very spikey. Need to wear gloves when handling it.
my dads house has 150+ year old norway spruces in the front and 2 of the 3 have white spots on the roots that are above the soil and the roots above the soil are becoming mushy please help because i am very worried about the trees
Muy interesante.
Those onions are huge, I hope mine turn out as healthy as that.
So the lower ripe kernals were from it not fully pollinating? So if you double planted and hand pollinated them all would that solve the issue?
Great vid
Thank You for the video and information. It looks like your chayote has already germinated. How would I do that with a store bought chayote? Again Thank You.
Try putting the chayote in a sunny window. When you see the bottom begin to sprout it can be planted.
@@mgsantaclara Thank You.
Thank you for the demonstration.
I planted elephant garlic last year and when I harvested it the bulbs looked like perfectly round white onions if all different sizes some were very large and some were quite small. I did not get bulbs of garlic like what I separated and planted Why?
If the plants are too close together that may result in smaller bulbs.
How often to water them in the beginning?
That depends on the soil. Keep it moist but not too wet.
@@mgsantaclaraI wonder if mine will last during rainy season???? Should I move it indoors??? I'm referring to the seed I just planted
Nice I love it
Nice I love it
what variety is the most productive from this experience?
Will the plant only produce once and than die? Or do you cut it to the ground for the next stalk/buds grow?
That depends on climate. Deep freezing in winter may kill the roots. If your area is warmer, once the buds have been harvested, cut the stalks at the ground. New growth will sprout from the roots.
sayote in the Phillipnes
I've been trying to figure out when to actually harvest my plant. I've heard that when the plant begins to open its leaves but I still think that I'm harvesting a little too early. When the bud first appears, is there a general timeline that I can approximate from? Also, I'm harvesting one at a time, correct? I'm not taking two or three from the plant at once, right? Thanks
Harvest as the buds reach the best size. As the bud matures to blooming and the bracts open more, the "heart" will get smaller and the choke will grow. When the first bracts begin to open, the delicious heart is as large as it is going to get.
0.30 You mentioned that the Trinidad Morunga Scorpion is the hottest, Carolina Reaper The Hottest Pepper in 2020 is the infamous Carolina Reaper! While a lot of other contenders have come onto the market in the past few years, the Reaper still carries the Guinness World Record crown for being the world's hottest pepper in 2020.Jan 2, 2020 Would appreciate your opinion as there is a lot of websites stating this. Ps. i enjoyed your video on Elephant Garlic, it explained growing it well, thank you.
I grew sayote last year and it didn't have any fruit at all. It just became an over size bush. What did I do wrong?
Beware that your chokes need to be planted inside wire mesh baskets if you have gophers, it's a gopher delicacy, you are likely to lose all your plants the first season if they can get at 'em. Baskets do the trick it's not a big deal.
NO don't do that! It just grows from where she broke it off! Try FOOD GRADE hydrogen peroxide, not the stuff you can buy locally in a store. Heard it will kill weeds, hopefully bindweed? I want to try it cuz pulling it up does not help, just makes it grow stronger where the roots break off.
👍🏼 thank for showing the details clearly.
Corn sock... I’ll give it a try, thanks mate
In Hawaii we call it Pipinola and goes good with pork and fixed in other dishes
It smells good. Despite the hotness 😘
Good Afternoon, Hi there, we r from spotlite trans 7, indonesia. we would like to ask for permission to use ur footage above for our show. we will put credit title for ur channel and footage. Thank you for your time and attention. Best regards, Spotlite Team
Very nice overview of the Master Gardener Program of Santa Clara County.
Thank you for your video. It is very informative.
Thank you. I want to grow this in my garden
When do you put it in the ground? Right after harvest or after it cures? I Just harvested my first. Thanks
In Santa Clara County we plant elephant garlic in early to mid November and harvest in early to mid June. The video lesson illustrates curing and cleaning the bulbs.
Great will try this out 👍😁
Well that makes it look sooo easy lol how long did it take to produce
Very informative video. Thank you so much!
Will chayote still fruit in dappled shade?
Chayote will do best in full sun.
Nice job on this introductory video!
That would all probably work very good but too expensive to do on a large volume field
The sock technique maybe best used by home gardeners.
thank you for the video. ive been a lover of super hots and the hot sauces and finally got my hands on some seeds. time to grow and try my own hand at sauce making!
