We Got Hail During Planting Week! The Moment Ive Been Waiting For! + Why I Don't Spray For Pests!

[@maryloumccann8536]

I commented yesterday to say I found a diy version of oyas and it’s not here anymore. I sent the link and didn’t know that wasn’t allowed. Anyway the uTube video is Lovely Greens and she makes a homemade oya.

The green in your garden already is wonderful to see. When you shared your ‘sandwich story’ it took me back to when I was a kid. My sister and I had horses and one of my friends at the place we boarded the horses (still a friend today after 50 years) would ride our horses to her house. We’d put the horses in the backyard, then go over to the garden where we would pick fresh lettuce, cucumber and tomato then head inside where fresh baked bread sat waiting for us. We would make a sandwich with the tomato, cucumber, lettuce and cheese. Some years my mom would have a tomato plant but we never had a garden of any kind, so for me I was amazed at the amount of food this family grew and even more amazed at how incredible the sandwich was that literally was picked out of the garden before consuming it. Each year since starting our garden, the one thing I look the most forward to, is picking those ingredients fresh from my backyard to make a sandwich on my fresh baked bread. There are no horses munching around the yard but the memories of them are still there as well. Thanks Bre, for sharing your garden journey with us.

My grandfather is a master gardener and his tip for freezing green beans is to blanche them first, then freeze! He said that that makes them retain their quality better.

[@aloras405]

So a little clarification. The hairs don’t actually become roots. They’re for moisture and temperature regulation for the plants. What forms roots is nodes that are located around the leaf junctions much like a pothos plant.

[@chrishuff6254]

I’m so glad your garden is okay! I’m in Texas and this weather line has been crazy! Tons of flooding down here.

[@Lush_Acre_Homestead]

🤣🤣 Your loofahs are like my artichokes. I have 2 volunteers that have 8 artichokes between them, and then I have my start that won't have flowers until next year. Nature always does it better. 🤣💚

Just watching this with my boyfriend and he's a horticulturist and he had some notes so I hope you don't mind some unsolicited advice feel free to tell us to piss off With your mulch being pulled away, he suggested you actually turn it into your soil to help airate it and the mulch is full of mycelium and spreading that through your soil will fill it with nutrients as well as break down the organic matter so fast the soil will be nice and warm during the cooler months. Also for flowering plants there's no such thing as too much potassium (well there is but it's hard to reach that limit) it boosts flower production as well as thickens leaves, protecting them from pests fungus and diseases (at his job they overdose potassium on their azaleas and they've never had lace fly which is prolific in our country) If you want a cheap organic fungicide, bi-carb in water costs pennies, it's organic and most fungicide is bicarb anyway. Just don't over do it or you'll kill the beneficial mycellium in the soil. Holding off on squash will allow the bugs to disperse off your property and hopefully not come back as strong next time. I love your channel so much especially since I live in Australia while my garden is inactive I can watch you start yours up again. My bf really respects you and your garden as well which is really saying something he has very high garden standards.

Sunflowers is my favorite flower. I remember one year I saw a sunflower growing in the oddest place. It was so beautiful

[@Tamsins_Potager]

While tomato stems buried underground will develop roots, it is NOT the little hairs that produce them.

[@09echols]

I'm glad the hail didn't destroy hour garden❤

Formidable vidéo À bientôt

I’m in Topeka and we have a tornado right behind our house on April 30th! Tore down a huge cottonwood in my yard, but my garden survived!! Fun watching your plant out video! I’m about to do the same thing with the rest of my garden!

[@itsbreellis]

Thats crazy!! Glad everything was okay!!

[@SonyaBarnesOnMove]

Thought of you when I saw the hail and tornadoes in the Midwest. Said a prayer and happy to see you were okay!

[@Pursuit_Of_A_Homestead]

That terracotta watering system is so cool! Ive bever seen that before but that is amazing 🤯

[@elizabethstreeter2145]

I would have planted your summer lettuce on the inside of the trellis once it is growing well that will keep it shaded and cool just a thought if you get a couple of gaps

[@Lush_Acre_Homestead]

I have a ton of Ladybugs this year too, and so many larvae! It's awesome!💚

[@greenrockgarden2851]

You’re so lucky to have the lady bugs helping you out! I have a lot of them too! I do have a pollinator garden as well, so no spraying here. Your lettuce looks amazing!

[@evolvingartist7]

We had a bad hail storm in our area of SC 2 weeks ago. Some hail was golfball size or larger at my In-Laws. We had at least nickel or larger size where we live which did some damage to plants in our garden and other people's gardens. We've had our gardens going since early April so we are grateful we didn't have more losses than we did. I enjoy seeing all the things you grow in such a tight space...inspiring!😉

[@2006marsha]

I just ordered Hales jumbo cantaloupe. Can’t wait to get them. Thank you for all this. I’m going to start planting all my seeds.❤️

[@lindamartin8614]

Your veggies will love that black gold and the water system.

[@Tnshadetree]

🎉Question ❓:; Would y'all retreat the wood on the fence with a color & do a hypersonic plant?🎉

[@alicehuseland6846]

Seychelles is pronounced “say-SHELLS” ☺️ Thank you for this video! I’m in KC and started a small veggie garden for the first time and your videos are so helpful and encouraging!

[@itsbreellis]

Thank you! and how exciting!! Hope you have a great first season!!

[@lucythomas4077]

Hope you stay safe.

[@CraigShortland]

I love what you got going on there and those clouds look amazing👍❤️

[@itsbreellis]

Thanks so much!

[@tomst9417]

The cloud formation is called mammatus , often appear in conjunction with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.

[@dr.greenthumb6535]

I love how in the latter portion of the video you amended the planting holes, that's exactly wat I do, saves fertilizer and as roots grow out- the fertilizer will follow the same path😊.. kelp meal, crushed egg shells, 0-3-0 rock phosphate and tomato tone in every hole 😇

[@Javi_One-fv6ic]

Cant wait to see your tomatoes and peppers, good luck🤞👍👌

[@andreamortimer2610]

Have an eye on the weather Monday and Tuesday. Looks like we might be in for a rough ride!

[@lenemariakowalczyk9777]

Growing your own food is so much fin🤩

[@alicecowan3499]

I love your garden! ❤❤❤

[@eugenemosh3658]

LOVE

[@jerilynmoyer6495]

@breellis I’m fairly new to your channel, but oh my goodness, I LOVE it!! Such inspiration!!!

[@nouramhan]

Seychelles is “say-shell” hope that helps 🙃

[@itsbreellis]

Thank you!!

[@loribethartist6353]

Last year my melons were tasteless and watery 😢 I usually have great success… so I have no idea what I did wrong 😑

[@jamiegalloway2852]

How many cantaloupe seeds do you normally sow?

[@Lush_Acre_Homestead]

How long do you find it takes for your planta to become Oya dependent? I have so many Oya's and I'd like to get to where I do MOST of my watering with them. 💚

[@user-sn7dw7yl2f]

1 liter of water to 1 tsp of baking soda is a great natural fungal remedy

[@itsbreellis]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Benjamin-ku5ot]

You are a genius.!! 👍

[@jkodot]

Another informative video. Thanks for sharing!

[@amyreid9649]

Where do you get your bagged mulch? Looks like shredded straw.

[@carolyn74631]

Where do you get the straw in a bag? I'm your neighbor in North Central Oklahoma!

[@2006marsha]

I get mine at tractor supply. Hope you have one around you

[@Campanula.rapunculus]

Hehe I say "good job" to my chickens too 😆

[@amandanicole7955]

What are the pots for in the ground?

[@Randyb4ut]

Thanks for sharing your video ☺️. New subscriber to your channel. Will be watching a lot more. 💚❤️💚

[@natk8976]

Hi Bre! How much space do you put between the melons? And do you sow seeds on both sides of the trellis?

[@morganravy]

hi bre ! for starting seedlings indoors are grow lights a necessity or can seeds germinate on a windowsill that gets some sun ?

[@clairequinn8665]

Hi Bree I would like to try a Hoya. How do we order them pls

[@itsbreellis]

I always got mine from growoya.com

[@Jazzyqueen6011]

Hey I’m starting a organic herb garden I don’t wanna spend too much money but what do you recommend to fertilize and keep pests away? I love your videos!! Your my new favorite KZbinr!!

[@itsbreellis]

Thank you!!! Most herbs will do just fine without having to deal with pests. I typically don't do much when it comes to fertilizing my herbs either. If you have any issues do a soil test to see what you may be lacking!

[@Jazzyqueen6011]

@@itsbreellisThankyou so much!!! 😊

[@jonathanforell]

Where are you? Colorado?

[@elizabethpulido5735]

the more flowers you have the more you attract the beneficial insects to eat the bad ones.

[@rosa.athome]

Are 6 eggs going to be the new filming day norm 🙏🏼?? 😂

[@itsbreellis]

haha lets hope!!

[@Robin-f8w]

Do you plant loofas just for using them for scrubbing?

[@itsbreellis]

yup

[@patmiller7045]

OI ya Bre!!😊

[@cleosworld9096]

Girl please be careful in that beautiful lightning.

[@lettucesalad3560]

I just make cucumber sandwiches every year.. slice cucumbers add to 50/50 water and white vinegar mix, and let soak in fridge for 30 mins or longer. Toast slice of bread, add layer of cream cheese, top with drained cucumber slices, and sprinkle paprika powder or salt and pepper.

[@notTHEcher]

That sounds AMAZING! It would be awesome on homemade sourdough! Thank you for this comment...

[@alina.s]

Why the energetic loud music? 😢

[@aloras405]

Paprika is pronounced PAP-REE-KA.

[@RunmebonKillingpi]

Second comment please pin btw you are a good planter and I love your videos, keep it up😊✨

[@itsbreellis]

Thanks for watching!

[@chadwolfeschledgelsteinhau9697]

I wanted 2 see it hail on you and the crops, please time your next vid with hail if you can
