I freeze ice chunks for tomatoes that won't set without some cooling at night in the extreme heat time. Even a 16oz piece of ice next to the main stalk at night will change a temp sensitive plants production life. 🍅❤
I have sunflowers everywhere in my garden too. Not just as a trap crop for pests (though it works great for that) but also to satiate squirrels and birds that would have gone for my vegetables. Plus the amuse ment factor of seeing a tiny squirrel trying to run down the road with a giant chunk of sunflower head in its mouth cannot be understated. LOL
When we had a week of extreme 100+ F early this summer, in thought everything in my garden would die but it didn't! My squash became giants and so did my sunflowers. Also my tomatillos tried to take over the garden. The pole beans also did well. My tomatoes weren't very happy and my spinach said goodbye but everything else tolerated the heat. I did water deeply every morning around 6 AM while it was cool.
Cherry tomatoes will grow through the apocalypse. And I’d like to rebut that heirlooms don’t like over 95F. I’m literally staring at prolific heirlooms here in Sac! The beefsteak varieties are incredibly warm hardy as are chortled purple. The only thing I suggest is keeping their SOIL shaded and moist at all time (mulch + lots and lots of vermiculite), using an electric toothbrush on their flowers in the morning, and using shade cloth when we start creeping over 95. I do shade more to protect the new leaf growth and the actual fruit.
Hi Melissa, true, heirlooms can be grown into 100s with shade cloth but I wanted to cover veggies that can grow in high heat without intervention. I am actually talking about exactly what you wrote in my next video on tomatoes :) Haha
This was really helpful as I live in Texas and the heat here can be unbearable so will start my garden with this vegetable and plant my heirloom tomatoes when the weather get cooler.
I love your short and to the point videos. So many CZcamsrs are only time wasters. I'm zone 7b in GA. I don't even bother to plant Okra until May when the high temperatures are consistently in the 80s. I always plant bell peppers in the shade of Okra and my HOT peppers in full sun. I plant tomatoes starting in mid April. I root the suckers and succession plant them through July. Tomatoes are my favorite crop, so I plant tons... for the deer, the bugs, the birds, the disease, and low and behold I get plenty too.
Your farm is amazing, I love your well produced videos🌿🍉 Also Everglades Tomato, a special kind of cherry tomato does well in super hot temps. I am growing Everglads toms, pumpkin, okra, sweet potatoes and hot peppers here in south florida.
@@fadista7063 yes I watched few videos on Everglades tomato, it's native to Florida and doesn't mind heat and drought tolerant and pest resistance,think it will do the same in Indian summer heat as well
Me, too. Plus last summer it got to 47 C and the wildfire smoke kept me inside until we got an evacuation order. I live in a mountain valley desert and really have to get irrigation going. Jon in rural BC, Canada
This is great information as I live in SouthWest Louisiana. Last years’ temperature were very high and dry. The only vegetable/fruit that continued to produce was my Cherry Peppers, jalapeños and my Fuyu Persimmon tree.
Yes, my sweet potatoes grow faster in the high 100F+ heat of Dallas/Fort Worth north Texas in the summer. You must water them often to keep them going. This year I am going to try black-eyed peas since they are heat and drought tolerant.
Thank you for this video. We just went through a horrible heatwave here in the PNW of the US and it reached 105-120 degrees for almost a week.My peppers, eggplants, watermelons and Purple Tree Collard thrived.
Wry helpful! Thankyou! I live in fall/Ft. Worth area so it’s very hot in July through August and wasn’t successful with my tomato plants this year because the sun was just too intense for them. Gonna try planting Okra and bush beans now then snap pease soon based on this video!! 😁🥰
I’m in north Tx and have learned to plant most vegetables in part shade so the sun doesn’t fry everything. When temps rise above 95 daily, everything stopped producing. No more summer gardens for me in Tx.
Another excellent video, One year I got many volunteer pumpkins because I put a pumpkin down and forgot it. Lucky me, I am planting a lot of sunflowers, I didn't know how they helped the garden. Thanks... No one mentioned Jerusalem Artichokes. Nothing kills them. I just found an entire patch that got away and grew up under a black tarp under a large pot, there had to be over 6 pounds under there.
How many months does it take for sweet potatoes to grow & how do we know if they are ready to harvest? Also can I plant sweet potato now in Texas? Thank you
We are in Hawaii, and have eggplants galore! Bell peppers got fungal issues even in winter, but I’m going to try neem. Cherry tomatoes do great as you said, and okra is my best summer crop along with Malabar spinach. Sweet potatoes are okay but something is boring into them so I lose a few to that. Squash also sensitive to fungal issues here. Hoping neem helps.
What about regular potato's.. I love my potato and they seem to be ok during this heat.. Iwill check your list to see if you have something.. thanks this is a great video show
Jag, I appreciate your videos, as they are always very informative. Someone mentioned your second channel; can you please give us information about it?
That is the only place my tomatoes did survive the AZ 120 heat, North side, only thing that it was to little sun for winter fruiting, this year I'm trying in a 50 gallon cooler with drain holes, hopefully it will be moveable to East side for winter, good luck to both of us.
@@johac7637 Thanks I am looking for the stuff to help with the tomatoes to bud, unfortunately it cannot be shipped to Ca. We are about 5 to 10 degrees cooler than you guys, and our nights drop down to 80 and 70's but higher humidity. You have that great place to get good garden soil in Az. as well.
@@johac7637 Thanks, I think moveable will help out a lot, kinda off see how it works, I am also thinking about trying tin the fall, in Sept. we get a dip in dip in temp. then then comeback on heavy from the last week of Sept. to exactly Oct 30 then the temp's finally drop to normal YEAH!
@@Moondoggy1941 get a bag of alfalfa pellets, cubes, make a compost tea, after about 2 days water the tomatoes with it, won't burn like 20-20-20 Miricale grow, and also get some Humic soil sand, not the liquid, it really helps with getting nutrients, moisture issues, and then dump into compost pile, eventually garden, I found the Huma Burst from Huma Grow to be the best bang for me, but then I live so close, it is 70% the Anderson stuff is weak, call them in Gilbert, and see if somebody retails it near you, even pay the shipping, it is good stuff, not snake oil, out Canada Ag, Research Station in Summerland put it to the trials, it really helps the sandy vineyards get their Brix earlier.
I believe your observations about the sunflowers are slightly mistaken. Sunflowers don't necessarily attract aphids per se. They may or may not at all. What's actually happening if you pay close attention, is that ants place the aphids in rows under the sunflower leaves and farm the sugar that the aphids secrete. So, its actually ants that basically run around marauding, doing aphid raids on your nearby plants, then carry the prisoners to their indentured servitude on the sunflower plantations. Crazy right ? The added benefit is that you have fewer problems with the ants, as they have a steady food supply. So don't spray your sunflowers.
It's true this does happens with Ants, however, I have seen clusters of aphids on sunflowers without any presence of ants. I also see these clusters on kale and also on turnip, and radish plants when i let them go to flower stage.
Hi, I have a question but it is not about this video. But is the soil that is in the plastic bags that we purchase and when we pour it out has molded, is it still good soil to use for your organic garden? I have been meaning to ask this question for a awhile and has not seen anyone else ask.
You can use the soil, keep the soil moist and encourage earthworms or find some earthworms and add to the soil and they will eat all the fungus and mold.
My hot pepper (long and thin)and Thai red chillies are burning mid way to flower end,avocado 6mnth plant is having fever.I Have torn my husband's turban wrapping around it and wetting it thrice a day.very bad weather as compared toPunjab

I have been trying my best but I thing the mix of soil I'm using is wrong. Can you tell me what I should use the yield the best crops? I live in Cali, bay area, so it has been hot lately and this vid was great. Cheers
For veggie/fruit potting soil: EB Stone (theyre based in San Jose) makes excellent soil! Honestly anything they make is excellent, but their 420 is a great general soil. You’ll still want to add organic fert to it at time of planting but I’ve been really impressed with them compared to big box organic soils (ugh don’t even get me started about Kellogg’s 🙄). Another excellent soil is Fox Farm but they’re twice the price of EB Stone for the same quality.
