I love this video. It is easy to understand and follow for a newbie. I just bought 2 fig trees for the first time two weeks ago in 5 gallon buckets (Ronde de Boudreaux and Smith). I am totally new and trying to learn as much as I can. Is there a best time to air layer (zone 6b Harrisburg, PA) or can it be done anytime? Also, can you make a video on how to prune for the winter?
@greyghostgardening5353
@greyghostgardening5353 3 ай бұрын
@@sarahhoover2069 thanks for watching! Air layering is best in spring and summer. You will run out of time for your growing zone in another month or two. The two figs you got are fantastic varieties! Are you growing them in containers? The Smith will for sure need protection from your winter. To answer your last question, you don’t really need to prune going into winter, once the tree goes dormant, because of winter, you may want to do some pruning. Be careful over pruning the Smith. They can get wonky if you overprune them. Where I live, Zone 9a, SE Texas, we don’t get much of a winter…usually. Look for a guy named Ross Raddi or Ross the Fig Boss on KZbin. I think he lives in Philly. He is a walking, talking encyclopedia of fig knowledge. He will have lots more information relative to winterizing figs.

Potato plants have the ability to grow roots anywhere soil touches the stems. Stems will grow more potatoes every where stems grow more roots. Stems will grow new potatoes at 2 or 3 or 4 different levels it depends on how high up you hill the plants. I usually get 1 lb of new potatoes from each level. If I don't hill potatoes I only get 1 lb of new potatoes from 1 plant. If I hill soil up high enough to have 4 levels I get 4 lbs of new potatoes from each plant. If a seed potato has 4 eyes and grows 4 plants with 4 levels it will grow 4x4=16 lbs of new potatoes. Tall 12" hills are a space saver more new potatoes per square foot of garden space. I sometimes plant like you do 100 plants produce 100 lbs of new potatoes, easy to plant, easy to harvest. 25 hilled plants produce 100 lbs of new potatoes.

I can only give you one tip from experience... WATER WATER WATER... especially the ones in grow bags.. when potatoes reach the stage where the tubers are forming, they need tons of water... but they also need a well draining medium.. If you give plenty of water, they will make much larger tubers.

Love the video and the handsome Wei. Our Wei girl protects me from little lizards and possible frog attacks in the vege garden. She does occaisionally disappear with self serve harvested sweet potatoes, snow peas and any cherry tomatoes in reach. Its late Spring down under and our Grey Ghost has discovered the pole beans. We dont mind, we just plant an extra couple for her to snack on. Funny, the first time she tried a cucumber, spat it out, not to her liking at all, so we plant them in easy to get at spots and tuck things we want safe behind them. Best dogs ever.

But that is behind us now and I’ll try to get something creative and hopefully informative out.

Hi from Houston! Your soil looks EXCELLENT! However, I have seen others use those containers and get much more yield. Do you think it's our CLIMATE that blocked your production on some of your containers or do you have something to teach us about 'Mistakes' you may have made? Fertilizer, watering, variety, timing, placement, etc... I am always interested in Homesteaders/Gardeners in my own State no matter where because we face many of the same CLIMATE issues. Be blessed.

I think variety plays a big role. I have been trying many different varieties the past couple of years to see which produce best. Red Norland is far and away the best for our area in my opinion. I had excellent results this year with Yukon Gold…but they were planted in ground. I think here in SE Texas you had better plant super early. I’m still learning with the containers, trying to find the right balance of moisture, soil composition, and fertilization. Watch my videos from this spring’s harvest. The first was disappointing, but the 2nd was pretty good. I harvested over 150 lbs of potatoes from my containers and a 4’x8’ raised bed. I was pretty satisfied with that. I’m going to see if I can coax a few potatoes out of my fall garden this year. What kind of potatoes do you grow?

May also be certain times of the year when 'grocery brought' potatoes DON'T sprout for you so you have to know your grocery cycles and about SEASONAL growing and HOW FAR your store is shipping IN it's produce. But for those who CAN'T buy 'Seed Potatoes', many Gardeners/Homesteaders, both here in the US and abroad have proven *_you can_* grow potatoes from Store brought stock. But for all the reasons he mentioned and most of those guys would testify, if you can get a good ORGANIC supplier, that's best.

The reason the potatoes are so small are likely due to being over watered and/or just too wet to often. Potatoes should only be watered in a container like that a few times a week once the foliage is up. Also you can boost your harvest by adding agricultural lime to the soil when you plant. Good luck on your next batch!

Yes, some were completely dead, and some were 90% or so dead. I really believe part of the issue with some of these containers was that they were packed in too close to one another, we’re of various sizes, and some (smaller ones in particular) had their vegetation smothered by plants from larger containers after a couple of early storms beat them down.
