@@jeromereed1097 oh I love that! I just bought one for my son’s girlfriend because she’s really getting into gardening. It was pouring here today and it sounded great.

@@Mori_oop it sounds so beautiful. It’s going to pour here later today and I can’t wait to hear it again.🥰

Yeah, exactly. I don’t judge anyone who does rebel Canning, but I’m not experienced enough to feel comfortable trying it.

@@user-je2ny1mq1o thank you so much🥰

What are you even talking about?

@@CottageontheCorner TikTok bad. It’s Chinese government spyware.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your kind words! I do all my videos on TikTok, but I definitely want to try to post videos here more regularly like several times a week. Thank you so so much.🥰🥰

So true!

Not anymore since I covered them. I went to Dollar tree and bought 10 more mesh laundry bags tonight and they couldn’t figure out why… And I didn’t tell them because I wanted them to think I was weird.😂

That would be true if these were regular raspberries, but this is a particular thornless container variety. But I definitely appreciate the advice because I have a random volunteer red wine raspberry growing in my front yard. I wouldn’t even call it a shrub. It’s just this crazy, wild thing.😂

@@CottageontheCorner Ohhh nice.

@@allennewborn936 yeah I literally had no idea that they made container varieties much less thornless ones and I freaking bought them on Amazon along with the thornless container. Variety of blackberries… Live in my best life over here.😂

The struggle is real! They never take the berries the day before they’re perfectly ripe. They wait and watch.😂

That’s literally a dad joke… Like my dad would’ve said that😂 I love it

Well, it’s spelled CATALPA so maybe you’re talking about another plant

Simmer down. I’ll do a video showing it but this was too late in the evening to get started so I decided to just trim all the suckers first. You’re pretty bossy. At least I told you how it can be done.

Right?! I think gardeners speak our own weird language when we connect.🥰😂

I haven't came across many plant people with the same vibe lol. There is definitely a language, a look lol

@@TheSecondMouse oh my gosh, it is definitely a unique vibe. I am Gen X and I started a TikTok really as a gardening journal for myself and I am connecting with so many amazing people. If you garden then definitely follow me there and I’ll follow you back. People have so many great suggestions for each other, and we all just get it🥰😂

Also, so happy for you! 🎉 New planting space is always a seratonin rush! My spouse and I just got done putting in place, filling and planting and single 4'x8', and we are still recovering. Considering I built the ding-dang thing myself I'm pretty pleased. We are a disabled household, so the sense of accomplishment is great, but so is the physical expense after the fact.😅

Well, that would make more sense if it was pronounced like that, but every video I’ve ever seen it sounds like they’re saying core… I need to step up my pronunciation game😂

We were lucky for so long, but the heat and humidity just hit us 3 days ago 😩

No way… Just from a comment I left on his video. That’s pretty cool. I love all this networking stuff. I’m really really getting into gardening this year. I’m more active on TikTok than here, but I’m getting there.🥰

Yes! That is another way to do it!🥰

Same! They are low maintenance for the most part and I like that.

Oh man, that’s such a shame… It’s such a unique flavor. I wonder why some people developed that a version to it genetically. I wonder what the benefit of Not liking it could be🤔

@@CottageontheCorner you actually taught me that I'm tasting differently. I love tacos and different seasoning but can't stand cilantro because of taste.

@@JohnElliott-rb3pi oh wow… I’m so glad that a video I made was useful in that sense. Yeah there are so many random things that we don’t know why we like them or dislike them. I myself learned this from another KZbinr years ago.

Yes! There’s definitely that kind of feeling going on🥰

On Long Island in New York. I’ve seen them wild but not in my yard. It was really cool.

Oh settle down and don’t be so negative. 1 pack of seeds may yield 20 small radishes at most. I’m gonna try them and give some to my elderly mom. You can make a garden to Alfred them homeless if you want. Or go volunteer at a food bank. That would be better use of the time you chose to be obnoxious in a comment

I seed bombed a nice patch of radish, turnips and beats all mixed together. I pull the greens to thin out and eat. Never ate micro greens before but it's working well.

@@TheSecondMouse I love that! That’s like a type of chaos gardening which sometimes my brain wants to do other times it gives me anxiety😂

I actually don’t really know much about hanging gardening but that sounds interesting. Aqua onyx is also interesting. This thing literally was a game changer for me square footage wise. I didn’t realize how functional it was and how many huge things I could grow in it.

I grow massive amounts of herbs and peppers in mine.

@@pamelajones532 that’s incredible! Now I have to look into that because that sounds so interesting

Thank you! I also really love to let some of my plants go to seed and collect the seeds and sometimes I’ll get a fall garden from the seeds from the spring garden

Not sure I get your point. Are you saying leave the past because you know that’s just the way a functioning ecosystem works? If so, then, no. My goal is to provide the healthiest nontoxic food for my family and deal with pests in the least toxic way, so as not to harm the soil or that ecosystem. If anyone decides to grow their own food, just by nature of disturbing the already existing soil and microbes and everything that’s going on by digging holes, adding compost and adding plants that weren’t there… That’s disturbing the ecosystem butthat’s the way it is

In some cases, there are definitely symbiotic relationships, but when you have plant starts that are young new plants or especially plant seedlings that have just sprouted and you get any of the above on the surface of the soil, whether it’s algae, moss, mold, etc., that negatively affects a very young early plant. Now I, take that moss or algae or whatever that is in the video and I do sprinkle it throughout my soil, but I don’t want it all around the base of that plant. Vermiculite can’t hold water and the purpose. It serves to hold water so that the soil isn’t holding it and growing Things we discussed. Cinnamon happens to just be a natural inhibitor of certain things growing. I’m not quite sure why to be honest, but just like vinegar with salt kills weeds, different plants have reactions to different substances. I wish I knew all the things, but my grandfather used to work for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and he taught me some of this stuff a very long time ago and so far it works in my area

Yeah, that might be too much water for it to handle. I think it’s probably only good for mold or moss that occurs due to overwatering or a heavy rain. What do you do to prevent mold and moss then?

You are my people🥰

Oh, I’ll have to look into that for sure because I’ve been hearing treat to around and I did find one of them in the garden. I never even thought of that, thank you so much!

Yep! A little blue Dawn dish soap very diluted works great!

It was a 3 striped beatle that was on my tomatillos. I did also have to check daily and I’m happy to say they’re gone. I’ll can use this for most insects though

Then mulch it up, friend! Yeah, literally I’m gonna start emptying out my hairbrush into my garden. Last year I had a groundhog that decimated my garden. I don’t see him yet, but I’m not taking any chances.

Thank you friend!

That makes me think of a phrase in a book called the last lecture. The writer said that the brick walls that are put up in front of us aren’t meant to keep us out, they are put there to make us figure out how to get around them.

Oh my gosh, I never even thought about toads… We have a lot of tree frogs around here right now, and I found one in one of my garden beds. Why didn’t realize how helpful they would be.🤦‍♀️

Awesome! So we are basically best friends now🥰🥰

Yeah, you know sometimes it’s easy to deter some past and then other times no matter what you do some animals and summon insects will wreck your garden

They actually do sell black ones as well, but I felt like maybe that would absorb too much heat in the sunlight. Either way those plants have outgrown the wire baskets already.😅

@@CottageontheCorner Oh my goodness! This is why I'm not a gardener, I didn't even think of the heat! What a green thumb!

@@ladygenesis well to be honest I don’t really know if it would make a difference if they were black. As far as heat, I mean. It’s just a random thoughts in my head. You should garden being a. “ Gardener” can be as big or as small as you wanna make it. And there’s something that’s really satisfying about it to me where I plant some thing and then I can actually harvest it and cook with it even if it’s on a small scale.

Right?… You are my people🥰

I honestly can’t think of anything that tastes similar. 🤔

No way. I didn’t even realize that the people that have the soap Jean might be OK with the ground spice. That’s even more fascinating to me.

I didn’t some countries. They don’t use the word cilantro at all or at least parts of those countries, which is interesting. Either way I’m growing a ton of it because it doesn’t taste like soap to me.🥰

Right?! Even though it’s loud and chaotic, it’s so peaceful to me.🥰

That’s interesting. I’ve never heard of doing it that way. I would think damaging the seeds would make them not sprout, but maybe I’ll try that. Also just for comparison. Very cool.

No way! I wonder why he was OK tasting the insect but not the actual plan. That adds another level of fascination for me.

Omg!! That is so cool! I have the soap gene and I’ve always wondered what it’s supposed to taste like.

@@KHH595 you’re gonna have to go look for those bugs.

@CottageontheCorner He's an entomologist, they're crazy 🤣 It's not that he didn't want to eat cilantro, it's just that when he ate cilantro it didn't taste like "cilantro" to him because of the "cilantro soap gene", so he wanted to experience the way it was supposed to taste

@@KHH595 It's very close to parsley, I would say
