I love the sturdiness of cattle panels, but where I now live, digging of any kind is strictly forbidden. Wish someone made a free-standing T-post pad that would anchor a T-post reasonably well for above ground use. Haven’t found such a thing yet. Been thinking of hanging an 8’, half panel between the upright 2x4’s of a firewood bracket kit. If I painted the cattle panels black, stained the wood & added wood strips to top of panel, it might stand up by itself & look pretty in my driveway. I seriously do not trust my skillset though. The thought of running a drill is so intimidating! I admire outside the box ideas & am enjoying your channel. What brought your tree down?

Hi thanks for the comment. I am working on a video that will have alternative ideas for a trellis. I’ll come up with a design for you and add it! What size area are you using? You can send me a picture of the area and we can come up with an idea together. My email is [email protected] . The tree fell because of a root disease. Luckily no one was hurt. Hope to hear from you soon.

That is unfortunate. I would definitely recommend a different type of mulch. If you have slug pressure try using plastic mulch during the growing season and a frost cloth during the winter. Hope this helps.

I have watched several posts about bottom blossom rot. And I coming to a conclusion that many are making it up as they go. I have put in different varieties of tomatoes in same bed and the bottom rot is only occurring in one particular variety, which is the same as the one in this picture eg the heirloom type . 🤷🏽‍♂️
@bellesbackyard3264
@bellesbackyard3264 Ай бұрын
You are absolutely correct. Heirloom tomatoes in my experience and by some research are more susceptible to BER than hybrid types. The growth habits are and nutrient requirements are slightly different. It all comes down to soil prep and watering as the main cause. I still grow a few heirlooms just for taste and seed saving. What types do you grow?
@joekool9601
@joekool9601 Ай бұрын
@ with tomatoes I just keep seeds of store bought tomatoes that I like . I’m in Australia , I think the best ones I grown are Gross Lisse , some Cherry tomatoes and some Romas . The only ones that got some BER were the Heirloom type . All in the same bed .

It’s not uncommon. But depends on a couple of factors. What area are you growing in? How old are the plants? A plant (depending on the variety) will throw male flowers early on then start produce female. It gets the pollinators coming to to plant first. Secondly if the air temps are above 90+ They have a tendency to produce only males.

I am in NE PA, zone 5B. It has been extremely hot all summer. I am growing 2 Black Beauty eggplant from seedlings in 5 gal pails with Miracle-Gro potting mix, M-Gro Plant Food 18-18-21, every 7-10 days. Potted on June 10th.They would be coming due for harvest in few wks. They are on an elevated deck, away from garden soil. The fruit looked great for a while. I had 12 healthy eggplants on each. When they were small, I used Sevin dust to get rid of flea beetles. I don't see signs of insects, I've covered them with garden fabric every night since after using the dust. The fruit have suddenly stopped growing. All the fruit on one has turned pale, but no rotting, no soft spots, or BER. They are all hard as a rock. In the last 2 wks, I've fed both 2x with a liquid high phosphorous fertilizer (Miracle-Gro Quick Start to see if that helps. It doesn't seem to be getting better, but ir's been very hot here, so I started keeping shade cloth on them during the hot days. The other plant's fruit looked like it would make it, they were still deep purple, but now I notice they are also starting to look pale. The majority of the fruit are size of a baseball. One on the healthier plant has turned light brown. I cut it open and it is unripe, light green, but yet healthy looking. The plants are a normal height, about 4.5 feet, and still starting new fruit. Am I missing insect damage? Disease? Is it the heat, maybe too much sun? Has to be sun & heat, right? The stems look perfect. How can I get the fruit's color back and get them to keep growing?- Thanks!!!

I got three 16 foot long cattle panels home no problem with my first generation toyota tacoma. 6 foot long bed. I did not bend them. You can buy these things called roof racks that go on top of the pickup. Something you would need anyway to get that lumber that you are using home. You just have to put a red flag on the load that sticks out (check your states regulations) If you can't pound a steel T-post into the ground you should just not go outside in the first place. I am a 5 foot 7 inch 125 pound human with a crooked back and I have no problem doing this and my soil is trash, full of rocks. treated wood in the ground only lasts 3 or 4 years in my climate. Concrete on soil then treated wood is the only way to go. Digging the hole for the two post would be more work than necessary. my cattle panel designed greenhouse does not need power tools to build. You need a miter saw to cut those 45's and not everyone has a miter saw No reason to be a dick about it. You could have just showed people what you did without the insults. the cordage wont last long. it expands and contracts with moisture levels and with the sun, heat and cold they will go bad in a couple maybe three years. quarter inch galvanized steel panels will last decades.

When you pick them not quite ripe do you break the stem off?
@bellesbackyard3264
@bellesbackyard3264 5 ай бұрын
Yes. Great question! It is best to leave a small part of the stem attached. Especially if you are picking them very early. That part of the stem does play a role in its shelf life and allows it to ripen a little slower making it ripen more evenly.

Thank-you for the video. I am an amateur gardener from New Jersey (zone 6b). Your video addressed my main problem of cucumber plants producing a lot of leaves and flowers, eventually turning yellow and decaying without producing much fruit. I plant Burpee Straight 8. Are there other varieties you suggest? I use miracol grow to feed. Does that supply all the nutrients needed for a successful crop? You mentioned several nutrients. I grow my cukes vertically on a fence. Is it necessary to disinfect the fence after the growing season or will the Northeast winter kill viruses and disease?

@bellesbackyard3264 5 ай бұрын
Hi. You may want to try a self pollinating climbing cuke like the Beit Alpha and the American slicer. For a non-organic general fertilizer Miracle Grow is fine. I wouldn’t worry about any thing remaining on your fence. Most reoccurring diseases will be in the soil or carried by bugs. Thanks for the comment. Good luck.

That's a great trellis design. I did not have any of the trouble you mention but I used hog panels. I used 6 hog panels which are more narrow because my 4 beds are 3 foot x 8 foot, in 2 rows. 4 panels in the bed and 2 of the panels span between the beds.

Depending on the type of cuke. If it is an open pollinated, your non seedless type, you might be ok. Typically they throw all male flowers at the beginning of growth then throw a mixture of Male and female. You may have some male flowers on the way. Just be patient and see what happens in the next week or so. Good luck!

I noticed when I watered to much when I was first starting, I got blossom end rot. The moment I stoped watering as much have not had it since. I did a lot of those recommended fixes that you spoke of. Nothing worked. Just watered less…same with damping off. I had a major issue with this when I first started seed starting. I almost gave up because everything was dieing. I figured it couldn’t be a disease. What are those chances? I stopped watering as much and fixed my problems. I was able to save a lot just by putting it in dry soil and stopped watering as much.
