August Garden Tour/ What to harvest

[@Tulip879]

Passion fruit you can make juice. I use it in salad. Green cabbage and red cabbage and passion fruit with salt and sugar if you want. I am growing passion fruit also

[@Tulip879]

I also grow peanuts as I live in a tropical climate

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

That is great. I hope to learn how to get a bigger harvest

[@SharonNed-x3r]

Yes sir you definitely have a great green thumb.❤😅

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

Thank you!!! I really appreciate your comment.

[@Tulip879]

Yes we boil peanuts or put in some indian curries.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

That's great. They tastes so good

[@gwencalloway4808]

Nice harvest 👍

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

THANKS, Gwen.

[@kevinhipps1236]

You can roast your peanuts by laying them on the microwave plate and cooking the for several minutes. then in 30 sec increments.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

Kevin, thanks for the info.

[@newcitygardnerjeanninevaug6117]

Great video 😊. I'm going to do peanuts next year in the buckets.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

Thank you, I appreciate it. Cool, I hope you get lots of peanuts.

[@feehanfan9079]

I just harvested my peanuts today! I can't decide whether to boil them or same them for fresh seed for next time.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

That is great. If you have a lot, you can do both.

[@DanlowMusic]

I need a Korean Giant Pear too. That thing is massive. Makes my Asian Pears look tiny.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY DanlowMusic!!!! Most of them were massive like that. They are know for that. If you get one, you will love the taste.

[@risasgardentokitchen]

Lovely ❤

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

Thanks

[@RAW_TAWK]

Nice harvest my brother 🫡

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY @Raw_Tawk!!!! Thanks, brother.

[@GrowingWhatIEat]

Nice harvest congratulations

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY GrowingWhatIEat. Thanks. Wait until you see how I cost myself 4 pounds on my giant melon.

[@tsveggies]

Very nice harvest.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY tsveggies!!! Thanks.

[@panchocarlo]

I love the Asian Pears. I might try that next year here in East Texas. PS: I finally got a couple of watermelons growing and I can't wait to pick one as large as yours. Thanks for your videos.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

Yes, they taste great. That is awesome, I am glad you got a couple of watermelons.

[@ramboogreenhands]

great harvest Bear the food forest is doing its thing

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Rambogreen hands, Thanks!!! Yeah, it's working for me.

[@curlykiki8]

i had no idea that peanuts grew like that! 🥜

[@KnowledgeLender]

I said the same exact thang!! lol

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Curlykiki!!! I'm glad I was able to share this info with you.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY @KnowledgeLender, I'm glad I did this video. LOL

[@jamaican1933]

If you want to have more peanuts when the plants get to about a foot and a half add more dirt to the bucket some more of the base of the plants is coverd as you can see there is no peanut on the bottom half

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Jamaican!!!! Thank you, I will do.

[@simplynikkinicole]

Hello from Kentucky, zone 7. Peanuts grow better in the ground. The reason is that the top of the foliage will double over into the soil and produce the nuts. By growing them in the bucket, you limited the plant from its full potential of production. If you grow again next year, do an experiment by planting some in the bucket, some in a raised bed, and some in ground. I know you will be amazed! Great harvest and nice video. 😊

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY simplynikkinicole!!! Thanks for the info. I will definitely do that experiment. I'm glad you liked the video.

[@naturalgardenempress6433]

Let's go

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

That's right.

[@cherylnorise57]

Hi, im in zone 7. I planted peanuts in May. May leaves are not as tall as yours. That's got me a little worried. I did get a lot of flowers, which is promising. But still, ugh. They are in a grow bag. Thank you for the video. Of course, I want to see the secret recipe

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Cheryl!!! I hope you get a nice peanut harvest. Yes, I got those flowers too, so that is a good sign.

[@ShereeSchattenmann]

What an awesome garden you have growing. I failed with my peanuts this year as the chipmunks and/or squirrels dug them up. I’ll try again next and protect them! Great looking fruit. I bought an Asian pear tree as my husband likes those. No fruit yet. That was a beautiful fruit harvest. Happy growing.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY, Sherees!!!! Thank you. I did not get peanuts the 1st time I planted. The animals are something. Do you have more than 1 Asian pear tree? They need a pollinator, that's why I asked. Happy growing for you as well.

[@SauceySav408]

Nice! This is such a sweet time for gardening❤ at my plot all of my neighbors gardens are overgrown, and takes minimal maintenance. We just come, water, and harvest lol. But also right now it is time to start planting winter crops. My second round of corn is coming up very nicely.😊

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY SauceySav!!! That is great. You need to teach me how to grow my corn. I have gotten corn in the past but my last 2 years have not been great.

[@mrgoode1647]

Squash still looks good where you get your peanut seeds from cuz it was hard to find it in South Carolina

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

I got them from my local feed and seed store. I bought starts, but if you go to Publicx and look for raw peanuts, you can plant them. I did that the first time

[@mrgoode1647]

Thanks for responding because we had a hard time finding them.​@@GrowSomethingTasty

[@aovoonthefarmsouthernillinois]

Nice video.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

[@davidcoreywithcrop8686]

Nice harvest and those peanuts...respect

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY David!!! Thanks, man. I cheated myself 4 pounds off my melon

[@hopemorrison2367]

You should use raised beds if you can't keep up with weeds they take all the nutrients from your food plants and create chaos

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Hope!!! I like the food forest look minus the weeds. I am getting another raised bed for the front yard.

[@AlThomas-fy2le]

I tried potatoes this year in buckets and my leaves was bigger than your peanuts but I got not one potato out of 5 buckets

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Al!!! I am sorry to hear that. I was like that last year. I got a good harvest of them this year. I fertilized and watered them more than last year.

[@AlThomas-fy2le]

@@GrowSomethingTasty what is crazy I had good green leaves and I waited until they died but no potatoes

[@naturalgardenempress6433]

Where you order ya pear tree I want to get one😊

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY I got it from Ison's nursery and vineyard online. You will need more that one asian pear tree for fertilization.,

[@murielmorrow4306]

Where do you buy your kaolin clay? I'm here in Memphis, Tennessee

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Muriel!!! I ordered it from Growitnaturally.com. The bag is big and it will last you for several seasons.

[@murielmorrow4306]

@@GrowSomethingTasty Thank you!

[@patwatersvlogs859]

Omg haven't had one of those pears since the late 90s I'm definitely getting a tree thats for sure! Yes we wanna see a boiled peanut video for sure!! Everything looks amazing!

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Pat, those pears are awesome. You will love that tree. Thanks for your feedback.

[@markh9825]

Hope you don't mind us asking, but we're curious where you get you Asian Pear trees from. Particulary the Korean Giant. Love watching your channel! Thanks

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Mark!!! Not at all. I got it from Ison's Nursery and Vineyard. I got the Instant Orchard Korean Giant. It was double the price at 63 dollars. I got it last year, and it did not fruit but it did this year. So it was worth it for me. Some might fruit the same year but I am happy. I'm so doing it again.

[@FoothillsofAppalachia-nj6cq]

Howdy Bear ! I love boiled peanuts. Cajun . I love pears too. I enjoyed watching friend!🙂👍

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY, Foothills of Appalachia!!!! Yes, boiled peanuts are great. I appreciate it, my friend.

[@CustomCroshae]

How does one sow peanuts very interested?

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY CustomCroshae!!! I will definitely do a video on it next year. You can sow them by using raw peanuts or buying starts. I got the starts from my local seed and feed store. One year I bought raw green peanuts from Publix and planted them.

[@habeshahabesha]

I need your advice!!! This is my second year growing watermelons, well trying to grow them. The large ones. They start to grow but then they developed a black spot that slowly grows and destroys them. What can I do???

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY @habeshahabesha!!! That is called black end rot. It is due to a like of calcium. That causes the black spot on the melon. The melon can't be saved at that point. You will need to cut it off the vine. You can add calcium to the soil. Now that used to happen to me when I started growing melons. I did a soil sample and found I had loads of calcium in the soil. It was that I was not watering consistently. That will cause the calcium to be tied up and the plant can't use it. Once I did that I did not get a lot of black end rot. I think that happened once this year and I grow lots of plants. So think about how you water or get a soil sample and you will know the answer.

[@shannonmainer2412]

Your asen pear tree did you buy it or grow it from seed.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Shannon!! I bought it from Ison's Nursery and Vineyard. I bought the instant orchard last year and it fruited this year.

I have some but I grew them from seed do you think they will produce.

@shannonmainer2412 I have heard some people say you never can tell what you will get. I have seen a gardener grow an apple from seed, and it fruited, so you have a good shot. I would think.
