That’s true. That leaf was the only one with the fungus, but I really should have mentioned that it wouldn’t grow a new leaf. Thank you for mentioning it 😊

@@jamesmoore2267 yep😊

@@His.Heart. that’s great! I think it’s amazing to see them bloom inside because you know you’re taking care of them properly😊

@@reigningcharmz you’re welcome ☺️

@@joycejose2 that’s great! The flowers remind me a little of spider lilies. 😊

@@oksills I’m sorry I wasn’t able to provide that information. Because it was a short, I didn’t have enough time to add all of it. There are several requirements. They need to receive at least six hours a day of bright filtered sunlight. They need to be under stress, and you accomplish that by letting them become pot bound and dry out. The plant also has to be at least two years old. That plant is about three years old. I hope this helps.😁

@@oksills I’m glad you said that because it made me realize I should do another short that explains how I got it to bloom. Thank you.😊

@@gessicacipriano7826 I’m happy to hear that you found the video useful 😊. I’m sorry to hear it’s become so expensive to buy your fruits and vegetables.

It’s a Minnesota midget cantaloupe plant.

@@ljb9001 I’ve read that before. Thank you for mentioning it.

I’m sorry it’s taken so long to respond. I had to do some research on this because I honestly did not know what Irish Moss was. It another name for red seaweed, which you can definitely use. It has basically the same nutrient content as the kelp that I was using. I’m glad you asked this question because I learned something new. 😊

@@Thrivingplantz it used to be really popular to use Irish Moss in vegan cheesemaking before Kappa Carrageenan became readily available for home cooks.

@@melodioushaste that’s interesting

@@reigningcharmz yep. The plants are okay though. Just a few broken tomato stems 😊

@@jamesmoore2267 i’m gonna be out there supervising. They drop that limb on my garden, and they’re going to wish that they hadn’t.

@@Indyanas_ocean_view awwww thank you 😊

@@Thrivingplantz You're welcome!😇

@@bretthong6137 they won’t turn brown, but if the plant wasn’t large enough to withstand the herbicide damage, they may grow to be oddly shaped. If you have the ability to put 90% shade clothe around your garden, you should because it stops herbicide from getting through. I had to do that because I now live in the city and everyone uses it. I’ve had a few people ask about the damage and what it does to the plants, so I did it a video. I’ll post it in the next day or two.

@@aramdecoy you’re very welcome. Thank you so much for becoming a sub and supporting my small channel. I also want to thank you for the compliment. I appreciate the feedback and it’s nice to know that I’m doing well with my videos. I don’t have a lot of long videos on my channel now, but I do have a lot more of them that I am working on. I’ve been gardening for over 20 years. I’m trying to start with the basics because I had no idea what I was doing when I started. It’s really important to know the basics if you want to succeed, and I do want to see people succeed.

@@TahtahmesDiary yep. He was happy 😊

@@carolecarlson1645 i’ve been using them for years to buy produce. They’re a great alternative to plastic produce bags. One day I was trying to find something that I could use to hold the Minnesota midget cantaloupes I grow and it occurred to me to try one of those. They worked really well. You can buy them in different sizes too, so I was able to get different ones based on the size that the fruit or vegetable would grow. 😊

@@reigningcharmz you’re welcome . I’m glad it was helpful ☺️

@@shontaimbufe2658 absolutely! I use them when I can find them. Pine needles and cut up branches also work well. Despite popular belief, pine doesn’t acidify the soil. The reason that the soil in deciduous forests is acidic is because the debris from pine trees and other acidic plants has been falling on the floor of the forests and decomposing for centuries. Using debris from pine trees will not acidify your soil. 😊

@@shontaimbufe2658 if you have any questions in the future, feel free to post them to my channel and I’ll do my best to answer them. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll find it. It’s great that you’re looking to educate yourself. That’s the one main way you’ll succeed. But always remember that you will fail sometimes and that’s okay. Try again until you succeed. Gardening is both a hands-on activity and knowledge from outside resources. You need both to succeed. One suggestion I will make is to invest in gardening books. Don’t rely on the internet to learn about gardening because there is way to much misinformation. I find it on gardening channels and websites alike. If you do want to learn something online, always use .edu and .gov sites because you’re going to get information from people who’ve done the research and are prominent in their field of study. I also use scholarly journals to find research on topics. The best research is done as independent research because the sponsors for the research have no vested interest in the outcome. I wish you the very best as you learn. I feel that gardening is worth every bit of effort that it takes to succeed 😁.

@Thrivingplantz Thank you so much for your detailed answer!!! I didn't think about gardening books. I have two large pine trees on my property; pine cones and pine needles are plentiful. I will be visiting my local library this week. Thanks again ☺️🌱.

@@shontaimbufe2658 you’re welcome. I wanted to make sure you knew about the pine myth because you asked about the pine cones. You’re going to hear a lot of gardeners tell you not to use anything pine, but it really is a misconception passed down through generations. I wish you the best in your future gardening endeavors.😊 One book that I would highly recommend owning is The Complete Book of Vegetables, Herbs and Fruit by Matthew Biggs, Jekka McVicar & Bob Flowerdew.

@@Thrivingplantz THANK YOU!!!😊

@@susanlisson7066 That’s a great way to save money on soil and increase drainage, especially since the soil for succulents is expensive if you don’t make your own. I have a lot of houseplants, many of which are succulents. I’ll definitely try that in the future because the pots really do get heavy after they are watered. Thanks for the tip😊. I’m glad the video will help you save money. I upcycle everything I can because gardening is supposed to save you money. There’s no need to use expensive soil, or additives because everything gets broken down by organisms, water and heat, which are what create healthy soil. If you’re interested in how I save money making the soil for my garden, I have another video on my channel that teaches you how to do it. I’ve been gardening for over twenty years and I’ve learned a lot along the way that I really want to share with other gardeners. I’m still learning too, so I always appreciate when someone shares their knowledge with me too. 😊

@@Thrivingplantz Tysm for your reply. I’ll check it out. x

@@susanlisson7066 youre welcome 😊

You’re welcome 😊

No. Not as long as the damage isn’t severe. That’s why I check my plants every day. After over 20 years of gardening, I’ve found that the majority of pets show up in the morning.

You’re welcome 😊

Awwww thank you for the blessings. I really appreciate it 🥰. I never use anything from the store, farmers markets, or anywhere else where I don’t know the sure of it. Since the produce is produced in mass, you can be almost 99% sure that it’s diseased. Even organically grown plants can be diseased. The produce can also carry pests that will invade your garden. I recently bought certified disease free potatoes seeds from the store and I still ended up with late blight and tuberworms . I know they came from the seed potatoes because nothing else in my garden had them. Thankfully I grew them in containers, so I was able to discard the soil and sterilize the containers. It makes it very frustrating when that happens because you CAN NOT grow any plants in the soil for at least three years since the disease can survive that long. Solar sterilization does NOT kill diseases as well as people think either. I research everything from scholarly journals, that way I know I’m learning what’s actually true. You can’t rely on .com, or .org websites for accurate information. You should always go to .edu, or .gov websites for information because it is provided by actual research done by people that specialize in the field. Sorry. I’m sure that’s way more information than you were looking for. I tend to tell people everything I know because I actually want them succeed. 😁

Thank you sweetie

@@sashaarr7122 you’re welcome

I never thought to add styrofoam to the base of the containers to help reinforce them. I’ll definitely try that next time I set up containers because I have the same problem with roots. My yard floods when it rains a lot, so I had to raise my entire garden using wooden pallets. Thanks for the idea😊. I make my own compost too. It aids in drainage and conditions the soil. If you don’t know this, make sure you’re still adding fertilizer because compost adds little nutrients to the soil. It does add air pockets to the soil, which helps prevent root rot and encourages a healthy, vigorous root system.☺️

I’m sorry it took me so long to reply. Some varieties of cucumbers are white. Are you sure you’re not growing that type? Otherwise, I’m not sure because I’ve never seen that happen before.

I thought of another reason they could be white. Did you save seeds from another cucumber plant last year? If you save seeds from hybrid plants, they will not be true to seed. They will revert back to one of the parent plants. Being true to seed is when a plant grows from seed you saved exactly how it was before.

@Thrivingplantz Thank you for your replies. These were bought and not planted from seed. Seem to be the standard variety. They seem to be improving after harvesting the whitest ones, but they are still not completely green like the store or your video. There still seems to be plenty of white striations on them. I am going to suspect a nutrient or soil issue. I overuse the word seems.

@@EVNMCPHRSN I did some in-depth research in my gardening books on the issue you’re having and I found a few other reasons the fruits could be turning white. The plant could be getting over-watered. Too much water will leach phosphorus from the soil. You can test for a deficiency, or look at the leaves. If they are turning yellow and they’re drooping, it’s a deficiency. You can remedy the problem by adding extra phosphorus to the soil and cutting back on watering. Root rot is another reason why the fruits could be turning white. It’s also caused by overwatering. When the roots of a plant are damaged, they can’t absorb nutrients properly. More often than not, it’s what causes blossom end rot in fruits, not a lack of calcium in the soil. Letting the soil completely dry out between watering will also cause root damage, so make sure you’re checking your soil often. Especially on hot days. If you don’t already have a moisture meter, you should buy one. They’re about $10 and mine has saved me many times from overwatering my plants. It’s really easy to use. You just stick it in the soil and it will tell you how much moisture is in it. I hope this helps. If not, please let me know and I’ll see what else I can find. 😊 And don’t worry about overusing a word. They’re called verbal pauses and everyone uses them. I use the words “so” and “just” way too much. I’m trying to break the habit, but it isn’t easy☺️.

@Thrivingplantz wow thank you so much! You're probably right! We water almost every day quite thoroughly. I will 100% follow your advice and get a moisture meter! Thank you so much. I'm subscribing!

I had to use a tripod to film the video and that was the best position I could get it in.
