I got the bell clicked for your channel Amanda but it doesn't show in my notifications. I saw it on the home page. I love soursop. I planted one too recently cant wait for it to grow and fruit. Seems you have similar issues. I now have the policy if it looks like it needs one or 2 more days on the tree I pick it. If I don't the wildlife is going to beat me too it. Better to let it ripen a day or 2 inside than not get to eat it at all. Much love and blessings :)

Hello, Amanda! Having to start with so much plant material is a blessing! Here, in Cyprus, the weather is dry and the temperatures high. Desert like. Not the best environment to start a garden. Anyway, good luck and I will follow your creation process! 🎉 Again, good luck and success! 😊

I know this is old but these are not scantius aegyptius, or the "red bug" but rather a boxelder bug or other seed bug. The aegyptuis has two black dots over the red on their backs. I'm currently dealing with an absolute infestation of them in my yard in AZ, i think soapy water is doing the trick but theres just so many! 😡
@CreativeGardenr Ай бұрын
Thank you for the update. I hope you manage to get yours under control. I was shocked to see them, since I started gardening the amount of bugs I never knew existed, that seem to feel at home in my garden is unreal lol. I added neem oil to the soapy water which seem to do the trick.

When it was growing as a young plant I watered it every 3 or 4 days. But now it is fully grown I don't water at all. During the dry season they loose their leaves but it all comes back in the rainy season.

Hi, Amanda, We visited Barbados from the UK for the Barbados Independent Film Festival a few weeks ago and all had a great time. It was my first time in the Caribbean, too. On our week we saw lots of interesting places and met some friendly, kind and knowledgeable people. Besides doing tourist things we visited some old plantations and sites related to enslavement. At one of these, the Newton Slave Burial Ground, near Oistins, I picked up some seed pods from the Shak Shak growing in the site centre. I now have them germinating nicely on my window sill back in the UK. I will grow a few up and give them to close friends as indoor plants when they are established; a small, living monument. Thanks for your video.
@CreativeGardenr 5 ай бұрын
Great you were able to visit, hope you had a lovely time. They have lovely scented flowers when they bloom. Be careful of planting the tree near any structures and they have an aggressive root system, though as an indoor plant you should be fine, do let me know how you get on. blessing

Elephant ears have greatly confused me. I have seen at least twenty varieties that are labeled elephant ears. The common trait is extremely large leafs. The shape, edges, and growth patterns vary dramatically. Not sure what is correct and what is mislabeled...

I think that Elephant ears get mixed up with and taro as they both have large leaves but several differences in the shapes of their leaves and Taro root is edible while the elephants ears are not.

I love the coqui frogs and the chittering birds. reminds me of central florida next to the lakes before sunset. I was impressed that a bird managed to bring a sage to your garden that normally grows on the west coast here in the US, alas, there are two different kinds of black sage. If you have any chaparral oaks that need complementary planting to manage the damp salvia mellifera, aka the other black sage, is really good for that and feeding hummingbirds. since you have two species of hummingbirds where you garden consider Salvia mellifera :) I love hummingbirds.
@CreativeGardenr 9 ай бұрын
Yes, I have been really lucky with the generosity of the birds. They also brought a couple of almond sees, and one has since germinated and is a fair size. The hummingbirds seem to also love the moringa flowers. Thank you so much for your visit.!

Hi Amanda As always enjoy your content. This curry plant does it taste anything like curry?
@CreativeGardenr 10 ай бұрын
Thank you. It has a flavor unto itself, though you do get a slight curry flavor. I use it a lot in soups and stir frys. The powdered version of 'curry powder' that is normally on sale is a combination of curry, turmeric, cumin and other spices. It is worthwhile getting a plant if you can, they also have a lot of health benefits :)

Thank you very much for doing this video. I just ordered Pride of Barbados seeds. On perhaps an unrelated note, in regards to destructive critters, I don't know. Awhile back I came out to where I do yard work and there is something called a Forsythia bush/shrub, one small Magnolia tree, and some other high branching type of bush. ALL were under attack by these vicious, destructive insects or critters in this u.s. gulf coast area. Not the least of which is Coptotermes formosanus, a.k.a. formosan termite. The most destructive termite, imported from china, in the world. It cut the trunk of that bush I spoke of in half, clean down to the ground. If I didn't do something, these things wouldn't last another season. These termites have obliterated neglected Magnolia trees in this area in other places. After alot of hard pruning on all this stuff, water and fertilizer, digging into the root system. I have no choice but to hard prune these. They weren't going to make it anyways. So, I used diatomacous earth. So, you want to do your watering first, and then sprinkle the diatomaceuous earth power around the plant. So far, I see a recovery in the plants/tree that was damaged. They will never bee the same, but at least they can survive and bloom now. I don't know about Pride of Barbados, but if I encounter this attack, I'll use diatomaceous earth as well. Again, thanks for doing this.
