- On Episode 6 of A Homestead: The Series, It's another Sunday Fun-day! We Re-cap our week on the homestead and start our ginger in the greenhouse. Brendins brother MJ drops off the Ditch Witch for next weekend's irrigation efforts (Stay Tuned!) We discover a little problem with the old chicken coop building, and find a home for our firewood. We also give you a little peak at painting Aleya's nursery and making a DIY dress for her upcoming maternity shoot!

I look forward to seeing your new videos pop up. The quality of your videos is amazing, your channel is going to be BIG! keep it up.
Thank you so much! We love hearing from you guys! If you know anyone, or social media groups that would enjoy what we got going on around here, please share! We would love to keep growing this awesome community 🤗
I didn't know there was a certain position for the ginger to grow since I just threw it in the soil and waited for the harvest. I live in a tropical climate and gingers here want full sun and moist loose soil. It wanted to be planted shallowly just a little deeper than garlic and onions. The same goes for turmeric.
Hmm.. that’s really interesting. Usually by my experience rhizomes grow horizontally and close to the surface. The thinner feeder roots grow down. Like iris or Solomon seal.. and our ginger definitely burnt in the direct sun..
So I’m trying to give her lots of time to grow with hot-humid-rich-moist-part shade, and good drainage! 🤣 fingers crossed this is our year!
It must be amazing to live where it grows naturally! I just imagine throwing ginger and turmeric into the ground and pulling a bountiful harvest out at the end of the season! Where do you live? Do you get to grow avocados and pineapple too?
Other than one trip with my grandma when I was six, I’ve never been outside of Canada! Actually the furthest I’ve ever travelled is Saskatchewan 😂 I dream of one day travelling somewhere with bright beautiful ocean water and pineapples I can pick fresh! Better homes and gardens has these trips you can book where you travel around and tour amazing gardens and eat ridiculously good food. If I ever win the lottery, that’s on my list of todos!

Well, the hascaps made the flower buds last year, so they where there before you pruned them and plunked them into the ground. Maybe pick the flowers off, so that the "not yet rooted plant" can spend the energy on making roots instead of using it on trying to make fruit and then not surviving because of not having enough roots.
Okay, why have I never thought of it that way. When something produces off of last years growth or a previous years growth the flower bud forms in the fall!? I mean it makes sense. My grandma always taught me to strategically pick off the buds on fruit trees to garner better fruit and growth habits. And really I should have known better with how much propagation I do every year! I guess I’ve just never tried to propagate anything like this so I got alittle star struck when it bloomed!
Thank you so much for the advice Martina, I really appreciate it! I’ll go pinch the flowers off right away!
Have an awesome!!
@@TheWilsonsOnWilson I'm the same way with my currants. I stuck them last fall, and I TOTALLY expect fruit this year. 🤣
I tried to pull one out. They are ROOTED! And they are sprouting leaves at the moment, no flowers yet. So maybe I'll pull them off. Maybe 😂
I hope to propagate hascaps this fall, so it is awesome watching how they are doing for you. Thank you for sharing. Also with the ginger. I planted mine in winter because I found a forgotten rhizome in the cupboard and it was sprouting, so I thought, why the heck not. It grew al winter and is now looking like it is going to sleep. hmmmm. We'll see what'll happen 😊
