So you want to grow sweet potatoes?!?

9-2-24 Happy Labor Day!!! This isn't really about large scale sweet potato farming; however, the same practices shown can produce a lot of slips (baby plants) to be used in larger gardens. Just showing some ideas and what I am doing.
Marshmallow, Shiso, & Castor Bean plants
zhlédnutí 10Před 21 hodinou
9-2-24 Happy Labor Day! Just showing a group planting of Marshmallow, Shiso, and Castor Bean plants. All three of these can be considered invasive if not controlled. All three do have edible and/or medicinal uses. All three are also very useful as decorative plants, which is my main use for them. The Castor Bean can also be toxic if ingested so be careful around children and pets. That being sa...
My new greenhouse addition, Inga vulpina
zhlédnutí 23Před dnem
8-31-24 Ordered 5 seeds of Inga vulpina a.k.a. dwarf ice cream bean, from www.fruitlovers.com and received them today along with extras (nearly double the order). They were actually already germinated. I got them directly in a pot in my greenhouse. Time will tell if I am able to get these to flourish and hopefully even fruit in the next few years. Excited to see what comes of this!

Summer grafting pawpaws (asimina triloba)
zhlédnutí 53Před 21 dnem
8-16-24 Trying my hand at summer grafting for the first time. Hopefully it turns out okay! I didn't much process as I was trying to hurry due to the heat. Three bud grafts and one cleft graft of Overleese pawpaw onto seedlings. Forgive the sound loss on part of the video, I must have gotten my hand over the mic.
Jackfruit back from the dead?

8-14-24 Constantly amazed by the resilience of plants. I had supposed most of my greenhouse tropical fruit projects to be dead after this past winter yet here I am finding life after being frozen and going through most of our summer in a pot without water.

NOT a Violette de Bordeaux!!!
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed měsícem
8-5-24 I thought I had a Violette de Bordeaux (VSB), but it turns out to be some type of honey fig. Although the flavor is good, it is still a disappointment to not have what I thought I had.
Air layering on white sapote
zhlédnutí 763Před měsícem
8-4-24 This video shows how I do air layering. I am showing this on white sapote, but it works on other plants/trees also. Part way through the video I misidentified a caterpillar as a swallowtail , but it is a Gulf Fritillery. The Giant Swallowtail does love the white sapote and there are some on that tree. The Gulf fritillery is usually on the passion vines and this is the first time I have n...

zhlédnutí 29Před měsícem
7-28-24 A look at my sad excuse for a greenhouse that I had become disengaged from after a devastating winter loss of most everything. But There is a spirit of survival in these plants which is like a ray of sunshine to me. I can now envision a return to lushness.
