As you saw in the video, it will eventually decompose-you just need to give it some time. The only thing you need to be careful of is ensuring that the plant you put in that pot doesn't come into direct contact with the decomposing material, as it could lead to fungal diseases and other issues. Fortunately, I didn’t have any problems with it.

Yes! lots of different type of mulches, which one is your favourite?

I definitely do, so good eating my own healthy produce and thanks, coming slowly

Thanks, a bit of work have been put on it

What variety will you plant?

Hey! thanks for the positive comment, I am glad you enjoy the journey

Yes! So easy to maintain and lots to harvest from, what’s your favourite perennial to grow? (Give me one herb and one plant)

@@UrbanBackyardGardening haskaps and mint and thyme

⁠​⁠@@fatherofchickens7951I just looked up haskaps, they look like blueberries, I am curious to taste them. Mint is always in the garden so I can make tea, thyme also, it’s great for cooking. I would go for asparagus and rosemary as my favourites

😂😂 FISH FLOPS

😂😂😂😂 que viva la arepa hp

four feet is not bad, how big does this variety grow? mine grew around 6 to 7 feet.

yes, it helps grinding the ingredients properly

one of my favourite snacks and for sure natural

thank you! I am glad I can help

yes, it's a treat that comes for a short time

beautiful specimen

try changing little things at the time and if one of those things change something then do more of it until you see your pumpkin plants producing, it seems like there may be an imbalance in the soil or maybe the weather as you mentioned before is not suitable for this plant check what you an grow in your area at this time of the year and make sure you can have pumpkins!

they are the best and they will last long if you store them properly, pumpkins all year!

enjoy yours, what will you be planting?

@@UrbanBackyardGardening beets, carrots, shallots, onions, garlic, asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli, beans, zucchini, and several types of winter squash 😉

thank you!

Goood to hear they are fruiting. Something I read is good to do, is to water deeply 24 hours before hot days so the plant can absorb as much water and not be so stressed by the incoming heat. Protect the soil with mulch as well if you can.

it did, I think it was too hot and the plant was not strong enough to survive the heat, it eventually died after wilting like seen on the video.

@@UrbanBackyardGardening 👍🏼

Yes as I previously mention in another comment you did it seems that the very hot weather can affect your pumpkins, try to improve your soil so it retains water and become more resilient to extreme heat, hopefully the plant can eventually absorb lots of water and regulate itself to survive and produce plenty of pumpkins!

Thanks my friend, by thew way I tried the sweedes finally, they were tasty and definitely a complete different flavour to what I usually eat

@@UrbanBackyardGardening I’ll have to give them a try this summer

You are welcome!

I understand, some people may not have the patience to watch it in normal speed and most of the time the purpose with this fast recordings is to just give an idea on what is happening and a quick show on how to do it, if you have any questions please let me know

@@UrbanBackyardGardening we have the time to watch dont you worry about that lol..... they can fast forward if tyhey have no patience !!

@@johnny0253 hahaha that’s true

Getting there, looking much better now and lots of vegetables coming up

You are welcome. Thank you

Thank you, I love carrots :)

Yes, it’s a shame I couldn’t use my beets but I will try to grow more anyway. Thank you and I am getting there… big job

Hahaha exactly that, taking advantage of a hot day so I take all the clothes from my closet and air it out for a few hours

Hi there, I have had this problem before, the baby pumpkins turn yellow and end up falling off the vine. I have read that extreme heat can make the fruit to die, also poor pollination. If I was you I would definitely try hand pollinating first then if that doesn’t work find a cooler spot for the plant to grow at. Maybe check the quality of the soil too because that may the plant to grow poor and therefore loose your baby pumpkins

Thanks so much for your reply. As I look closely at the flowers I think they're all male, there is no tiny fruit at the base of the flower. So I think hand pollinating isn't going to work. Summer isn't any hotter than it is now but this area will be in more shade as the sun goes behind my banana plants, maybe that'll help to keep them cooler.

@@gardeninginthedesert you are welcome. In my experience I have noticed that male flowers will always come out first then females will appear eventually. Also after doing some research on the internet I found this info: “Not only heat, but drought stress often causes the pumpkin to develop more male flowers and delay females. Flooded soil will also damage root systems, causing wilting and flower or fruit abortion. Planting too close together increases shade, which will affect how and when the pumpkin flowers.” So my advice is try adjusting a few things and see what works then hopefully you start seeing some females flowers.

@@UrbanBackyardGardening I water them morning and evening. The soil is sandy so very well draining. I'll keep trying and let you know how it goes.

Hi there, Thanks for the nice comment. If I ever need optimisation I will keep an eye on your profile and see how we can work. Thank you

@@UrbanBackyardGardening I visited your channel and found that your channel is not fully ACO because of which you are not getting organic views or organic subscribers.

@@Freelancer_Rifat181 thank you

Haha I want to share this good experiences

yes I need to, otherwise I won't have the will to tidy up the mess 😅

Excellent, I love the videos make people excited, thanks for the positive comment

Thanks!

I heard the same

Good practice, soil always needs to be nurture and replaced with nutrients, I am sure the carrots will love this extra nutrients. Yorke is the type of dog?

I don't, but I would like to grow it eventually, I just need more space to be able to grow more things, do you?

yeh i grow it.... doesnt take up much space,,, i plant it around tomato plants and edges of the garden@@UrbanBackyardGardening

@@johnny0253garlic keeps away deer and some other garden “nibblers.” : )

lucky for me i get no pests except birds@@anniebodyhome1000

@@johnny0253 good idea, I may have to find some spots for it then and the proper season to plant

Thank you my friend, I am travelling at the moment so uploading videos has been difficult

It’s a good camera, iPhone 11 Pro Max

I love that you are learning something and got you interested. Thanks for your nice words 😄

It’s not our house unfortunately, I would have removed all the concrete floors on it to have plenty of soil to plant

@@UrbanBackyardGardening you can do a raised bed!!!!....

@@johnny0253 I can do many raise beds, but the place being a rental is not worth it for me, imagine having to get rid of all that soil, same as getting it into the house… big job

@@UrbanBackyardGardening thats true!!!.... well you doing a great job with what you have.....

@@johnny0253 thank you 🙏

What plants?

@@UrbanBackyardGardening the brandywine tomatoes..... about the 8:15 mark you took out the plant out of the cell pack and there was maybe 4-5 plants in it and you planted it in one hole

@@johnny0253 oh I see, I did that to wait and see which one would grow stronger and thin out the rest, why that can’t be done?

@@UrbanBackyardGardening oh yes thats fine to do....

Hmm to be honest I don’t turn them as much as I should, maybe every 2 months I give them a surface turn, the bins are quite fragile and I just let time and bugs aerate the soil, eventually I take the unfinished compost out of the bin (if it’s unfinished) and let it finish its process before using it, which can be only 2 or 3 weeks depending on the weather. There is better ways to get the compost finished faster and probably better but I am fine with doing it this way and it works for me

@@UrbanBackyardGardening i meant the piles that are on the ground not the ones in the bins

Thank you, I appreciate the comment, mum married an Australian and she brought me with her

cool !!!..... keep up the videos!!!! i enjoyed all of them !!!@@UrbanBackyardGardening

@@johnny0253 thank you, I really appreciate you acknowledging that!
