@@HorticultureGeek thanks Ray. They were fun to do. Rebecca’s tour should be up soon 😀

@@bethb8276 it’s such a fun plant and quite the novelty 😀

Now I grow it too!! Thank you Andy for the tour. It was so much fun and very thought provoking.

@getyerwellies6651 it is fun, I've chewed the flowers before when I had a sore gum from eating chips, worked great! I have also used the crushed leaves on scratches and bug bites. So far, they have been reseeding themselves, which has been nice.

@@mrsmonstertodd very welcome Rebecca. I enjoyed your garden too. Looking forward to seeing your video 😀

@@C3Voyage thanks for asking. I will answer your question on an upcoming video 😀

Shade cloth helps keep temperatures lower so it is useful in very hot areas. It reduces the intensity of the suns heat but also light so it slows growth too. It’s a bit of a trade off but I like it for tomatoes. I have mentioned it before but look out for a more detailed look at it in the near future. You have inspired me to do a video specifically about that. Hope your garden season is going well. Thank you for watching 😀

Look forward to seeing what you come up with 🤔😀

I’m not sure how many blackberries I will glean in my small garden but we are going to give them a try. Wishing you the best of luck with yours and indeed all of your garden this year. Thank you for watching 😀

How long have they been in the soil ?

Thank you Beth. Maybe flea beetles ? That might explain why I don’t see them Lol. Glad you enjoyed it. 😀

@@getyerwellies6651 if you never see anything it could be snails or slugs which feed at night.

Enjoy. Thank you for watching. We love to eat them from the air fryer 😀

My first year for blue berries. I really like the blue cream berries from baker creek. I’ll see if these are as good 😀

You will have another good use for it now😀

I haven’t had issues with that. It settles a bit but stays in place well

You gotta listen down under the accent to place it properly

Sounds like an upper-crust Bostonian to me. Think Kennedy's. I'm probably wrong though!

Originally England. Close to Liverpool but I’ve been here since the late 80s. Hence my southern drawl. 🤔 kinda !!

The bags are about 2 inches wide and 15 inches tall when empty. They have a lot of stretch in them and can easily accommodate the largest kajari melons. They are not available at present on amazon but there is a similar product. I believe if you search for fruit bags you will find them 😀

@@getyerwellies6651 I found them on Amazon recently there red there 20 inches long but I feel I can still use them and die the bottom shorter thank you for responding to me

This is the first time I have heard of using wool 😀

I have always loved playing compost roulette 😀

Good luck!

Absolutely. I know I will be going next year would love to meet you there.

Thank you. It’s coming along. The shavings broke down pretty well over the winter. Only a couple of places where they didn’t. Those were the drier spots 😀

I like leaf mold too and of course it’s hard to beat “free”. Let me know what you think if you give it a try 😀

@getyerwellies6651 Will do. Our climates are a bit different so it will be interesting to see. No winter to speak of here, but tons of rain in summer.

If you get a good slip from your sweet potato you can sub divide that one slip by citron off any of the leaves with a root node. Check out “millenial gardener” who has a good video on this subject ( turn one sweet potato into hundreds of LBS of Sweet potatoes by growing “

Thanks for watching and sorry you are not having any luck yet. I find the soil method to be the most successful way to do this I reviewed how I do it on my video How to grow Japanese purple sweet potato ( part 1 ). Even in soil I keep the potatoes pretty moist and in a warm place in the house. They really like heat and humidity to grow well. Some growers use inhibitors to prevent sprouting in transit or in the store. This can slow the process way down. Try to verify on the label that your original potato is organic to avoid that possibility. Check out that video one more time to make sure you are set up right. Good luck. You’ll get there 😀

When I put my Purple Sweets in water, it took a long time (Initially placed on a table in a glass jar with water in front of a window). Once I set the potatoes on top of my fire place where they got some good heat, they started sprouting really good and now I have so many slips. Sweet potatoes like the heat so try a heat source for them to sit under while in water. Many people say that heat mats work.

Glad you found us too. Hope is is well with you guys 😀

We are still dealing with rain too. I think it’s finally out today for a little while. That’s exciting about your electric canner. I will be following it for a while before I may get one. Enjoy the season 😀

I like worm castings but you are right they are pretty expensive. Hope you have a great gardening year 😀

That’s a great idea 😀

I wish you good luck with them Yvonne 😀.

I hate when bugs get a hold of my plants. You might try growing some nasturtiums close by. It seems to help sometimes 😀

@@getyerwellies6651 that's in my garden plan! ♥ They're beautiful as well.

Thanks Georgie. It was so nice to meet you at the conference. I hope this is a great gardening season for you. Many blessings 😀

Ease of construction , portability and I like the look of them too 😀

A little bit yes. Hopefully just cold not freezing anymore. Hope y’all are doing well over there 😀

Thank you. I’m waiting just a couple more days on planting then the fun starts. Good luck with the brassicas. My worm farm is in the garage right now but I fear I lost quite a few over the winter. The only plus is there seems to be a lot of baby worms. That’s another project but I am gonna try encouraging some to my raised beds with some kitchen scraps buried several inches down.

@@getyerwellies6651 I'm in zone 5 and my worms bounce back in the spring. Give them a little time. 👍🏼🪱😃

@PlantObsessed thank you. I will. They were my first batch of worms so I want them to do well

Great suggestions. This was one of my earlier videos. You are tempting me to do an updated one to include your suggestions and some others. The tubs have been very successful in my garden and the concept is great but there are many people who do similar builds and find wonderfully creative ways to make things a little easier or cheaper or quicker. Thank you so much for your input and for watching 😀

It didn’t come with the system. It’s part of the Aerovoir system that I added. There is a video I made about it approx 2 months ago. It’s basically a self watering system for the AeroGardens 😀

If you cover up all the places light can get in except where the plants come out of the pods it helps but it does happen to some extent. You can use foil or dark paper

Awesome. Thank you for following. I am working on trying to improve worm populations in my farm and my beds so I am trying to learn from your channel. Enjoy watching your videos

Typically about 7 per plant minimum. Some years several more. They are worth the effort to me. I don’t how the space to let them sprawl so it’s not bad for vertical growing 😀 Thank you for watching. Have a nice weekend 😀

Thanks. I'm getting some this week.

I got them at Home Depot. I hope you can find some. My slips are going very well. I’m gonna have to make the next video soon and then hope last frost is close🤔

Thanks Mike. The slips are getting close to needing a new home. Ready for warm weather😀

Thank you for watching. The Japanese sweet potato has a similar but slightly fluffier texture to a normal orange flesh sweet potato. In my house we think these might also be just a little sweeter two. I don’t mind you asking at all. I was born and raised in the northwest of England. Moved to Arkansas US in the late eighties so my accent is mixed up a bit 🤔

@@getyerwellies6651 I thought I heard some southern twang in there! I was almost going to guess Australian 🤣 Thank you so much for your response I'm going to have to try purple sweet potato! I've started to binge all your videos because of this one, I love your relaxed demeanor and chill vibes and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!

You are very kind. I hope you enjoy the videos and I really appreciate your support. Are you a gardener too ?

@@getyerwellies6651 Aspiring to be one! I live in an apartment and all my indoor plants die eventually but im trying to learn 🤣

Do you have a patio or balcony ?
