I grow 4-5 seeds per bush location. So each vine will grow 3-6 Kabocha squash. I’ll thin out the bush vines at the early stages of growth to three and pick off some baby squash if there’s too many on each vine to 2-3 per vine. The more squash per vine, the smaller they’ll be, so picking some off will let the vine put its energy into the remaining Kabocha squash. Hope this helps. -OMG

I agree

Hi, if you live in a hot climate, I suggest planting Papalo cilantro seeds. They’re heat tolerant and do not bolt until late summer and especially when you keep them trimmed down. We do not have to plant any cilantro seeds every year, the ones that sprout up during the Spring in one of our raised beds, we’ll dig up and move to containers.

@@oldmangardening444 I’ll look for that type. Thanks for the response!

Sounds delicious

Yes.

I have a dwarf black Mulberry tree. It’s been around for about 6 years. They max out height-wise at around 8-9 ft tall. Mine is only 7 ft tall because I prune it back a little in the fall.

My plant now is three time the size and it also is putting out some little white flowers. I’m think I need to repot it again.

We usually grow anywhere from 15-20 Kabocha plants. The yield per vine is usually 3-5 Kabocha squash.

@@oldmangardening444 Thanks!

About 40 grape vines in this area of the garden.

Yes, we do sell cuttings.

Yes, one of my favorite.

Thanks, it’s actually twice as big now. I’ll make an update video soon.

@@oldmangardening444 excellent, how exciting! I'll be on the lookout for your new video. I'm obsessed with Ponytail Palms and Money Trees 🪴 🌿 💗

I really didn’t know how to make videos when I did this, so the volume wasn’t adjusted correctly. I’ll try to make a better grape cuttings video soon.

@@oldmangardening444 we all learn as we go along , video was very good , keep doing what you are doing x

We store our Kabocha squash in a cool dry place like your basement or garage. They can last anywhere from 6 months to a year if there’s no fluctuations in temperature. If you keep them on your countertop at room temperature, they only last 1 to 2 months. The old man is growing some outside this year (2024) with corn and they doing really well. Update video soon. Thanks for visiting.

@@oldmangardening444 thank you!

I understand. I’ll try to make another update video.

I use a well draining potting soil. Usually a potting mix specifically for Cactus, Palm & Citrus. Sometimes I’ll also add sand or perlite to make sure it has enough drainage. Thanks for visiting.

Yes. They do look smaller.

Yes. I made a video of the progress last year but never posted it. So I’ll post it soon and also post the mandevilla plants I’m growing this year for comparison. Thanks for your interest.

@@oldmangardening444 that would be great ! I just was so bummed when the buds fell off, wanting instant gratification is the reason I buy annuals in the 1st place (I know they can be over wintered) Thanks again !

Don’t return them; they’ll be fine. I bought 10 plants this year two weeks ago and I cut off all the flowers and flower bud clusters on my mandevilla plants because I want them to put their energy into growing long and healthy vines and shoots before flowering. I use Super Bloom fertilizer from Scott (12-55-6) once a month and my plants always do really well in my long plastic deck containers. I get rid of the old soil and use new soil every year in the containers or else they’ll get too root bound and won’t grow as well. The mandevilla vines grow will 3-4 feet long in my deck containers and have hundreds of flowers and flower clusters. I like to grow them for the humming birds. If you keep up with watering and fertilizing they’ll stay blooming until the winter. Again, don’t worry about the buds falling off; if your vines are healthy, the flower clusters and flowers will come. Thanks for visiting

@@oldmangardening444 thank you so much for responding. I was so stressed that they were diseased, and if I waited to long to exchange, there would be none left. They sell quickly in my area. You've really been helpful, and I'm soooo thankful.

Yes. Mandevilla vines are fast growing vines if you keep up with watering and fertilization. They can grow 6 to 8 feet or more in a single season if planted in-grown, depending on where you live. But be aware Mandevilla vines will remain smaller in containers or hanging baskets.

@@oldmangardening444what is the best fertilizer? I purchased miracle gro bloom? Is that ok?

My favorite mangos

I just let it go crazy and and just take cuttings or prune if I have to from this area. I like it shaded so I can grow mushroom in logs or start new cuttings where they need some shade. But I do have three other areas where different varieties of grape vines grow on two or three wire posts. Thanks for visiting

It’s zone 5b here in southern New Hampshire. Your bonfire patio peach tree should be fine to plant in ground early spring to early fall. Don’t worry about the frost. It’s a peach tree, so it’ll tolerate zones 5-8 weather. In early Spring when the trees start to bud, I’ll prune back the dead branches and fertilize near the roots and it’s all set for the season. Thanks for visiting.

@@oldmangardening444 Thanks !

Hi. Depending on growing conditions in your area, the Dwarf Mulberry tree cuttings can bear fruit 1-2 years after transplanting to a larger pot or in the ground. Planting the cuttings directly in the ground and consistence pruning will make them grow and bear fruit faster. Thanks for visiting.

Thanks

Thanks for visiting

I would also like to try this, but I wonder if I can take the cuttings now in early June. It is not hot yet in Germany, around 20 degree days

The first year of planting my patio peach trees; they had flowers and some fruit, but most were small and dropped of. The second and third year the trees started to have more consistent full sized peaches that stayed on the trees because I’ll pick off the smaller ones to keep the weight down on the branches and have the remaining fruit get larger.
