Man...I'd have to drive over to East Texas to get that much pine straw to mulch with. Luckily, we have some family land over there...but you have to plan ahead.
Thanks a ton! It gets tough out here in mission balancing getting enough light vs managing heat. Been trying to grow some cherry belle radishes since they grow fast and are a step above bean plants. Right now they’re growing leggy so I unfortunately can’t grow them indoors since there’s no good spot with good lighting to put them in. I’m an absolute novice when it comes to gardening and it can even stress me out at times whether or not I’m doing things right but this video not only helps but is giving me the persistence I need to keep trying! Rock on! 🤘
Pinto beans for green beans. They produce really fast and immature pods make an excellent green bean. They do great in cool weather or the heat. Just buy a bag from the grocery store for seed.
Next summer will be the first year for the garden I've been building. I've been a little nervous on how I'll be battling the CenTex weather. Your advice is helping lower the anxiety, lol!
I was wondering what to plant next. I will try again with the corn though I was not successful in the spring. The rest I will also plant. The long green beans and purple beans are doing well. I did plant the sweet potatoes and the Japanese yams. This are very healthy for the heart. Thank you Scott for the nice tips.
I have watched 3 of your videos, and all 3 times I have purchased a product you recommended. Probably not up your alley, but you would be great in sales lol
I'm also gardening here in the Austin area and really appreciate your channel! Where do you get your pine needles? Natural Gardener? A nearby tree? Wood chip mulch seems too dense/heavy, and shredded leaves just blow away in 5 seconds on my windy lot. The closest thing to mulch I'm able to keep is a dense blanket of reseeded basil, cosmos, and zinnia hah.
Go to chip drop and sign up for arborist mulch. I just drove around my house when the tree trimmer guys were out in force. Go and ask them I promise you'll be surprised at how willing they are to drop off at your place. I got 7 truckloads and it STILL wasn't enough lol btw I'm in quinlan area, howdy neighbor
No rain in austin area in june july according to forecast in 2022..ugh..may was rough as EVERY SINGLE.storm SPLIT an missed my farm...every single one...u could be three city blocks away and it rained hard and good...zilch for mine... Just found your channel ..my problem is since the great.freeze my heart isnt in it..its much better this year but i really havent taken care of my.garden...oh its weed free..got lots of beans onions tomatoes....in fact i just pulled my last three purple onions.....i did plant 500.glads...and have really really been a pick me up...my well water pump broke in the ice storm and ive been on the waiting list FOR 8 MONTHS!!!! USING city water and man is that costing me.and hard on me.....im pushing 80 and due to heat related problems i cant be out in it. Bees are absent so ive had to hand pollinate my cucumbers!!! ..really ive found a bee keeper and she said she would out a box or two here..i dont want the wax or honey ut need those little bees...i love em and use to play with them as a kid....freaked my friends out..still does. They will land on my hand and crawl.around then fly off...also HAVENT SEEN HARDLY ANY BUTTERFLIES really a bummer. I planted about 50 foot of butterfly weed and not one came up!! Usually i get tons of voluntary ones.... But thats how gardening goes. Just a bad year for me...maybe fall...its usually better.
Austin, Texas first frost in November.....lol, be lucky if we see it in late December. More likely we will be in shorts on Christmas day. Do like your raised beds. I live in the Cedar Park, Texas area. Video was good even if it is a year old.
Those dang monsters 😖 I’m starting to experiment with edible gourds, but moschata species of squash such as butternut, Seminole, or Tromboncino offer the best chances (they aren’t full proof though).
It can be quite challenging if extreme heat is prevalent, and I typically employ 40% shade cloth for that reason. If you're starting seeds indoors, they need a transitional period known as hardening off before they can be planted outside. This takes about 7 days and starts with placing seedlings in the shade for a couple of hours early in the morning. Gradually over the course of the week, increase the exposure to sunlight and the duration of time. Lastly, transplant those seedlings in the evening so they can adjust overnight. I would also cover them with shade cloth for the first two weeks if daytime temperatures exceed 90 degrees. I hope that helps!
I haven't had them at a high level, so physical removal has been my practice. They are pretty sluggish before sunrise and fairly easy to take out at that time. The really young ones can be controlled with insecticidal soap. You could consider spinosad although it's a higher level organic control that will take out beneficial insects, so it should be used sparingly and with a very targeted approach. For established populations there are biological products such as Nolo Bait that can be applied early season and work to control populations over the coarse of subsequent generations.
Regular observation early in the season, physical barriers, and physical removal. Insecticidal soap works well when sprayed on the nymphs. You can also place a board directly on the soil overnight, and in the morning they will congregate underneath it providing an opportunity to collect them into a bucket of soapy water.
Are you a Texas gardener? I live in Kingsville. That’s South Texas. I am fairly new to fruit and vegetable gardening. I have planted sweet potatoes with and endless amounts from a single plant. Unfortunately, the Weavils move in and ate 90%. It really sucks. Do you have advice about ridding my sweet potato of these bad neighbors?
Hello! Yes, I'm in Austin. I know how heartbreaking that is. I've been impressed by beneficial nematodes, here's one for controlling sweet potato weevils and other pests www.arbico-organics.com/product/nemaseek-beneficial-nematodes-hb-heterorhabditis-bacteriophora/beneficial-nematodes I applied the triple threat combo last December and they have worked really well to control flea beetles, and cucumber beetles that were becoming a problem. I have seen virtually none since applying. Planning to make a video on the process this year.
From San Antonio . Your Channel is a great resource for me. Keep it up.

The SVB always kill all my squash
Those dang monsters 😖 I’m starting to experiment with edible gourds, but moschata species of squash such as butternut, Seminole, or Tromboncino offer the best chances (they aren’t full proof though).
I AM ASIAN AND I wanted to plant Alabar and string beans where I can buy seeds for planting?
Does direct seeding in the summer not kill off the plant? Or did mine die because i started them inside ?

I’m in Austin. Also I’m using my husband account.

I'M FROM AUSTIN BUT, UNFORTUNATELY LIVE IN LUBBOCK TEXAS 😢🙄🤣😂WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND TO GROW IN A WINDY, DRY CLIMATE? BESIDES COTTON 😂😂😂🤷🏿♀️💯
Howdy partner 🤠 You could try lima beans, southern peas, and possibly sweet potatoes 🍠 ✨
@@newgardenroad HOWDY!! 😂 OKAY THANKS FOR THE REPLY BACK.
how do you manage grasshoppers?
I haven't had them at a high level, so physical removal has been my practice. They are pretty sluggish before sunrise and fairly easy to take out at that time. The really young ones can be controlled with insecticidal soap.
