I've been meaning to make a video, but i don't have amazing news. The trees are well alive and producing some fruits, but nothing amazing. I have been giving good fertilizer off and on, I should have been better at following the schedule and watering.

Never knew about the hallucinogenic effect of these seeds smh. How do we even focus these things out? Welp... in 1 Corinthians it says - [23] “I have the right to do anything,” you say-but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”-but not everything is constructive. We should meditate in this truth.

How much difference can be noticed between the end result of doing it this way vs the end result product when it's just done with dawn dish soap and boiling water instead of the scouring process?

I ate a store bought pomegranate and spit the seeds into a cup lol. Was gonna throw them out but though it would probably help fertilize one of my plants so dumped the chewed up seeds in the pot. Low and behold a while later I noticed seedlings growing. About fort or fifty. I let them grow and at about 6 inches started thinning the smaller ones. Long story short I have 8 two foot tall plants that are doing great. Not sure when they’ll bllom

One thing I forgot to mention all my pots have holes in the bottom and I sit them on very inexpensive dollar tree 12 inch pot rollers that don’t have any holes in them my water from the bottom… Once in the morning, I just fill up the tray roller cause there’s no holes. The water stays there and the root systems grow so aggressively into the bottom of the pot. They suck it up, and about three or four minutes don’t want it because it is weed and it normally grows out in the forest along the salt marshes were from the north east of the sun in the shade… I don’t trust the store-bought milkweed here. A lot of it comes with diseases and some parasites that hurt monarch caterpillars.

Great job… I had my best year this year in southeast Houston, where it’s extremely hot by doing the same thing I used old soil, amended it with compost manure and an old bag of coconut shell mix the old soil was three years old from old pots. Lion it with some vermiculite started out with two pots. Now I have six simply by separating the original first two pots into three bunches. The pots were completely full of roots. it was amazing… And I only use common yellow milkweed, because of the dangers of the tropical milkweed to the butterfly population

You cannot leave cucumbers on the vine to ripen. That kills your plant. Pull early and your plant should produce for 3-4 months.

6:12 how do the native weeds survive the cold without a garage? Are they annuals in nature?
@tibmartiekenitzer7843 10 ай бұрын
My guess is that they are perennial or it re-seeds. Milkweed grows so well in ND. We are a very cold area. The wilkweed goes to seed end of July when fall is milk. It puts on deep tap roots and then in spring comes back up. So to mimic it -- I believe you would find native milkweed. Also a good idea, because it would protect the butterflies as well. There is reasons to specifically plant native in these cases -- otherwise a theory is that butterflys do not sense the need to migrate south for more. I am not sure how correct that is, but I am getting more into that mindset. So if you have a native milkweed plant it in your end of summer. Let it die back and see if it comes back. I know that many people whom have cattle see milkweed as a noxious weed and will try to get rid of it. I am seeing both sides. It can spread very well and our native milkweed is cold hardy . What are your thoughts on this?

Usually the milk weeds are planted near a river, pond and lake. Usually they grow themselves

I agree. They love muddy water logged ditches, but ditches can also have drainage.

I'm sorry moving them in the garage is unnecessary. In nature the cold weather dies the plants off and then they come back in the spring. If u are growing tropical milkweed it will stay alive perhaps in the garage but it is a determent to monarchs (look up the oe parasites) Watering milkweed once or twice a day or every other day in winter also seems excessive as they are generally a drought tolerant plant- maybe u r growing swamp milkweed?? Can't argue with success, but I am quite curious of where u live, what type of milkweed your growing, etc. and your growing practices. Also a fine layer of soil over the seeds to keep them from blowing away and establish seed contact with soil perfectly fine. I nature the wind does this naturally. So much easier than rocks Thx.

As a kid, I raised caterpillars on common milkweed leaves in large (peanut butter plus-sized) jars with lots of nail holes punched in the lids. The barbs under the nail holes gave all the holds they needed to suspend their chrysalids (after spinning some webbing over the prickly hole bottoms). I could unscrew the lids and set them out as emergence drew near (so obvious by colour changes to dark). Thanks for the video.

"This person here .. "? The expert has a name, right? 😊 Anyway, thanks for this information video! I am in 8b, Central Texas and I see rhe Antelope Horn milkweed growing in full sun at Pickle Research Campus (UT, in NW Austin), and it was in gravelly dry soil. I live four miles north of that but have clay soil so I grow natives that like the clay, but I do grow alot of other flowers in large pots and raised beds with better looser soil. I want to germinate some Asclepias. I have a packet of seeds (Asclepias tuberosa) the well-known butterfly weed with the orange flowers. Last year I bought an Asclepias plant that is more exotic (like swamp or for wetlands) the big box store sold and it lived one season but didn't come back. It needed alot of water. I figured it was better than no milkweed at all. However, I wish they sold the more regional native ones. So, seeds it is!

I think he was a little bothered that she said that also. I know when we do videos we get nervous. Or maybe he did not want his name everywhere. But I do believe one of the most respect ways to interview is to 1.) know the persons name and title. Or say: Hi, we are here with ____ and we met this way _____. I was able to tour his garden this summer and saw great results. Add pictures of them. He could get them for you. This a.) builds repor and gives credit to him and helps connect the audience with him. It also will make them confident with you and in a great mood. I loved the video. And look forward to more. I know personally how hard getting out there and doing an interview can be. The best thing is to do it over and over. I use to hate listening to feedback, but as I got older and more experienced and say results from making changes ... Now I really appreciate it, because it helps me grow and a broadcaster. Thanks!
