    I hear Yukon Gold, and my mouth waters! Big thanks Kevin, since your channel along with Mark from Self Sufficient Me and James Perggionni have now caused my front yard to become a garden. It's a bit of a struggle starting no dig on the ultra cheap, following Charles Dowding's methods, but seeing the plants this season is super exiting and neighbors have been awesome in how we share with one another. Keep on growing, much success to you!

They have grown enormous and are putting on so many flowers. So happy I learned--from you--the idea of grouping plants together that have the same light/water needs.

    My husband grew up with a loquat. I was just able to get him one and my teenage son planted it. I have been paying him to plant my bushes and trees. I’m excited because he’s actually learning how to plant things and use fertilizer and proper watering. He wasn’t interested in planting, just earning the money. I’m hoping this will pay off in the future if he ever develops a desire to garden.

  • @jessicamiller7539
    @jessicamiller7539 Před 3 lety

    Nice to see you growing Aussie fingerlimes. They do well with regular fertilising, but in much smaller quantities than you would normally give other citrus varieties. Our Australian native plants don't like too much heavy fertiliser, in particular too much phosophorus can be deadly for many of our native species. Good luck with the fingerlime!

    Easy DIY trap for an earwig infestation: bowls of oil.
    Place ceramic bowls of vegetable oil in the shades of your garden and the earwigs will climb in, needing to be filtered through a sieve into another bowl every few days. I've had an overrun of earwigs that made my wife all but swear off growing any cluster typed vegetable (broccoli, cauliflower, etc) and the bowls have been doing their gross duty of keeping my plants less bitten.

    Try lining a pot of water with lettuce leaves. Salt as you would and put in your peas to boil. The peas will come out soooo sweet! Found the idea in a French cookbook and it really works. Don’t eat the lettuce leaves. Just throw those in the compost.

    Super envious of you right now!! We are just heading into winter here in AUS, some advice on your finger lime, make sure it gets some shade. They typically don't like full blaring sun as they are semi understory plants. For anyone looking to purchase them, best to get grafted varieties as if grown by seed they can take years to fruit!
