I’m glad you got the culprit. What soil do you use in your Greenstalk? Mine was too heavy and dried quickly, so my plants were small.
@BBettaGarden21 күн бұрын
Heya! Greenstalk recommend FoxFarm potting soil. I haven’t tried it yet. Last Fall I used Miracle Grow potting soil and it worked well. This year for the first few planters, I used Shultz potting soil.. I like the consistency + I could take advantage of the rebate Menards offers 😊. For the last few planters I planted in, I made up my own soil mix with spent potting soil, bagged compost, perlite and some granular fertilizer. All three soil mixes performed well. There were some plants that had crazy root systems so I ended up replenishing that soil, later in the season.

It dropped and snowed last night in Cleveland Ohio, to 28 degrees. Peppers are soldiers 😅 still growing.
@BBettaGarden21 күн бұрын
Peppers are probably the most resilient summer/heat loving crop! I left a couple on accident and they seem fine. I think we only got down to 30. We’re suppose to hit low 20’s and then the teens as a low this weekend though.

Have you ever had to deal with grubs? If so, what did you do
@BBettaGarden25 күн бұрын
Heya Tiffany! When I’m working up the soil in my raised beds, I come across grubs occasionally (not in containers though), but never enough to cause any real damage. While I am sure there are some type of pesticides that can help manage grubs, I did read once how birds love them and if other things are in the garden for birds (feeder (I’m not a fan because of other creatures that would eat the feed, water source, etc.), they may help decrease the grub problem. Sorry couldn’t provide a more definitive solution.

Just had another question-thought: what is your garden like through the winter weather holidays? I'm thinking your back garden would make a very elegant winter "Courtyard Garden," if you chose to gussy it up in festive seasonal "garb." Wish we lived closer, you could have just about all the holly you could begin to imagine using if it weren't such a long drive and that's assuming you would want holly. But really: do you put out suet-and-seed feeders, dolled up with ribbons, perhaps? A potted evergreen tree with strings of popcorn and berries (such as cranberries, maybe?) for the birds, and apple halves and slices of oranges for the fruit-loving birds such as jays and robins? Of course, the raccoons and the opossums and sometimes foxes can present themselves and squirrels are always ready for a picnic, but.... What about inflatables in either front or back? "Cut outs?"---flat figures painted "as" the three Wise Men or as Grandfather Winter or, from Russian folklore---I *think* and I'm counting on someone of Russian or Ukrainian extraction to fine-tune this idea---"Grandfather Frost," who carries a small evergreen tree, a bag of gifts, and a beautiful lantern to light his way...? Oh, what ideas your backyard "courtyard garden" inspires! (Before you ask: in my neighborhood, if I put those things out this afternoon they'd have disappeared before daybreak tomorrow.) Please, Batavia: just one more garden video for the end of the year? One outdoor one, I mean. (You *are* going to share via video all your pickling and canning endeavors? And your holiday cooking, whatever you usually make?) Sending much love from Northeast Ohio, gardening, cooking, decorating... 😊💛💛💛💛💛😊

Thanks Marlow! I left them outside last year and they did great (greenstalk has a 5-year warranty against fading and cracking while being used outdoors year-round). I may leave them outside and move them in between the beds in the backyard (or even put deconstruct them and sit them inside the beds) just to get them out of the walkway once the snow arrives. I haven’t decided yet. 😊

Oooh! 2:53 to 2:58, such a beautiful *white* eggplant fruit! Don't know what got to (or "at") my eggplants this year, but those fizzled out completely, not even one single solitary fruit. If you love your green bean variety (varieties?) will you let them stay on the vines until they dry so that you can harvest them very late and save the seeds for next year? Those sweet potatoes are simply GORGEOUS! I would suppose that if they're happy in the Cage Baby, you'd just plant them in a different section in there, again. No? Much gardening love from Northeast Ohio! 😊💚💚💚💚💚😊
@BBettaGardenАй бұрын
Heya Friend 💚! Good idea about the green beans. Something in my garden memory says they need to dry up naturally on the vine to be viable vs being killed by frost before the beans (seeds) mature. But I could be conflating things. And yes!! Finally for the sweet potatoes! I had some thoughts of growing some other things in the cage baby next year but I just may need to make other plans and let the sweet potatoes live in one of the other beds inside the cage 😊. Sending you love from my Chicago garden where the frost will be about 3 weeks late but will definitely come😊💚
@bhalliwell2191Ай бұрын
@@BBettaGarden Eeh! No, that sounds familiar and right. It sticks in my mind, lass, that I did read somewhere that if frost threatens and the objective is to dry your bush beans (?), you can pull up the entire plant/s and hang it/them, root cluster up and stems and leaves and pods down, indoors in a warm, dry location out of direct sunlight until they're dry and brittle, and *then* you can get the peas out of the pods. That's what I think I remember. If that's not correct, I hope either that you have a couple of accurate reference books or that someone else visiting or subscribed to this channel knows for sure. And I can't think of any really good reason not to dry pole beans similarly even if you have to loop the vine over and over and over the closet rod in a room where you can leave the room's door and the closet door open to obtain good air circulation or carefully and delicately bedeck the crown molding (or where crown molding gets installed) with your green bean vines. Unless you simply can't bear to deal with dried leaves falling to the carpeted floor? We've had frost, already. At least, nearby. I was at a friend's place overnight Wed.-Thurs., and Thursday morning the cars looked almost as if there had been snow. One of my brassica ambitions for next gardening season is to grow red Brussels sprouts, but that's a major commitment of square footage! *One-hundred-eighty-six days* for one red variety, and *TWO-HUNDRED-TEN DAYS* for the other one I have seeds for. You've my go-to expert on getting greater production out of limited square footage, do you have advice, suggestions, ideas to share on this question? Much gardening love from Northeast Ohio! 😊💚💚💚💚💚😊
