Loud Cows and Garden Update May 21

[@msyankee2u]

I don't believe it's the Vego raised beds. It's the soil making the plants grow. Vego is waaayyyy to expensive for the majority of viewers. God Bless and happy growing

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

I think it's the soil & knowledge of the growers..

[@waydownyonder8446]

No doubt it the soil and care that matters . a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do to make a dollar. Ok with me.

[@jinnv7130]

I believe what Danny is saying is that he can control the soil better in the VEGO beds. Can’t argue with that.

[@pecangrovems]

The soil is easier to maintain in the vego beds. They don't wick the water and nutrients like wood does. So yes they make a big difference.

[@NashRambler]

@@pecangrovems. We’ve had a garden for 14 years and have built every manner of wooden box. The wood rots and has to be replaced. This year we bought 3 Vego beds and we are very happy with them. No more rotting wood and the plants are doing great.

[@shannonmartinez8036]

You both are awesome!! I love watching your videos! God bless, keep you safe and bless you with an abundant harvest!!

[@dennisscribner9949]

Afternoon dan. Enjoy the rest of your week. Its windy here again in far northern California..

[@lindabarrette]

That bucket at about the 20 second mark is a beautiful sight!

[@carolineflynn1799]

Our beds are resting this year so we're growing entirely in containers. All dwarf varieties. We've needed to move them around regularly to capture the right conditions. It's been interesting. We're seeing nice proliferation, though.....I saw 1 army worm yesterday, but haven't seen an army. Container gardening makes it easy to check for eggs throughout the season, and we've been lucky.

[@classicrocklover5615]

I never knew tomato worms would attack eggplants! Will be keeping a sharp eye out!

[@vickisavage8929]

Both tomatoes and eggplants are nightshades, as are peppers. The worms will attack all of them.

[@pecangrovems]

Yes there nightshades.

[@paulawagner6058]

Everything looks healthy and happy.

[@agapefield]

Good morning! Very nice looking veggies! Your cows are loving your homegrown hay!

I had to take care of the web worms in my pear tree and redbud tree today. The bugs are bad. I'm fixing to pick my first tomato.My grandsons watermelon in bigger than a softball. God bless and Much love 💖✝️

Good morning guy's. Your gardens are beautiful as always ❤. We freezedried cantaloupe and it is delicious 😋. My great great niece, age 4, absolutely loves it

[@pecangrovems]

I think it's better than fresh.

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Good morning Danny and Wanda. I’m glad to see we are using the same emitters so that tells me I’m doing something right. Thanks for sharing and hope y’all have a blessed rest of the week.

[@deborahparnell8862]

The way y'all care for your garden..how could it not be awesome..ty..xoxo blessings to y'all in every way ❤️❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jayroser9876]

Good thing you had enough rain to get some hay

[@vickisavage8929]

Just a thought. Have y’all ever considered adding an olive tree or two to the PG greenhouse? Even if you don’t get much fruit, because they grow slowly, the leaves are very valuable nutritionally and medicinally.

[@littleflockontheprairie4871]

Bizarre thing happened to a couple of tomato plants in the greenhouse yesterday. We had a front go through and the strong wind shifted from SE to W/NW. I wasn't home when the shift happened, so the north roll-up side was still up. When I examined the plants in the GH, some leaves on the tomatoes had turned black...almost as if they had been frost-bitten. Today is MUCH calmer and beautiful!

[@pecangrovems]

Interesting

[@dharmaslife]

Thanks to VEGO for starting the safe alternative to wood raised beds that fall apart. Even cedar has problems after a few years. Not a fan if the plastic ones, and the first metal ones had so many unsafe edges.

[@russelltackett4779]

😆

[@debrajones5305]

“Praise the Lord and move on” 😂 well said Danny!

I go into my high tunnel at night time with a torch and any horn worms glow like glow sticks when the light hits them. Makes it easy to find them.

[@curtisking2962]

Good morning.

Beautiful garden in the beds....the veggies look great! Like seeing the cows. Y'all have a wonderful day! Praise God for a good harvest❤🤠❤

Thank you for the tour! Your cows are very happy 😊

[@LouY778]

Nice to see everyone happy.😊

[@Redshomested]

My favorite time of the year!!!

[@tambrasmith9707]

I decided that I was gonna put the vego beds down the center of my high tunnel… I will have to buy one every couple of months… we will see what happens , the top is still not on the high tunnel

[@sengelmohr]

I am happy to say I just ordered 4 Vego beds. As crops come out of the garden I will get them set up for fall crops, I can't wait. I've been picking peppers, yellow wax beans & Malibar spinach. Lots of tomatoes but, none turning yet. Your garden looks great & I love the Dexters. ❤

[@lisaadams7914]

I'm growing the malibar spinach this year for the first time. Can you share how you use/cook yours ? We tried a leaf and it was pretty slimy.

[@sengelmohr]

@@lisaadams7914 I'm Ketovore so I don't eat a lot of it but I will put it in a salad or in meat & cheese rollup. I use most of it for animal fodder for my chickens, ducks & rabbits.

[@serenitysealed485]

In central Florida we are having an extreme drought. Scant rainfall few little showers far apart. My city has had at least 8 brush fires of 20 to 49 acres in size. One at a new solar farm. To grow a garden would be a waste of money. Heat index this week project to be 200-206+. Hurricane season should be interesting.

[@russelltackett4779]

😂

[@catwoman635]

Morning! Good to see the Dwarf Cavendish in tubs. I have 2 and wondered if I had done right. I mixed dwarf fruit trees in my in ground garden area to make grow zones too. Lost a lot of shading in an ice storm few years back and the garden boiled afterwards.

[@bartsexton1652]

Hey Danny my carrots love tomatoes book says ,put dry cayenne pepper sprinkled on the plant while still wet with dew will repel caterpillars on the eggplant.

[@beverlymichael5830]

The cows are so spoiled. High tunnel looks fantastic. The Vego beds makes it look so nice

I heard that ‘ catnip plant ‘ keeps the tomatoes worms away /

[@orange2sweet673]

so does planting oregano it hides the tomato smell

And here I am literally freezing under the covers here in the Pacific NW. 🥶. Our last frost date in mid April BUT it's been too cold till around Mother's Day to even get mustards to get up and go. Got warm for a week. Got fooled again. Planted my starts. They are ok but just waiting for the temps to rise above 50s. All my flower seeds are stuck at germination but no other leaves for 3 weeks. Very very late start this year. Expect reseeding everything floral in a few weeks. Even radish with 30 day to harvest is 45 day and still no harvest. 😩

[@pecangrovems]

Your area is going to be difficult to grow in for a while.

[@BUTTERFLY31214]

🦋👋Good Morning Mr Danny & Miss Wanda and Everyone. Awesome 👏❤️❤️❤️. Still busy getting myself settled in. Yes I was up and out at 5am. I have 1 banana pepper plant. AND ADVICE TO GET RID OF GRUBS??? Much appreciated. Have a Blessed Day ❤

I left some kale for seeds - but nothing yet

I’m already fighting squash bugs on my heirloom squash plants. Trying to seed save this year. Zone 8, have tiny squash coming on. I’m so ready to turn my garden into raised beds, it’s getting very hard at my age & health issues.

[@gingerzelidon3573]

Things are moving along at Pecan Grove and your veggies are looking beautiful! I have a question, Mr. Danny. In your high tunnel you are growing squash and I am curious about what size container you are growing them in. I am in my 70s and would like to grow my squash in a container rather than in the ground. I have a small plant started in a container, but need to transplant it soon. God bless you and Miss Wanda for taking the time to share your time with us.

[@pecangrovems]

It's a 25 gallon larger is better.

Heat/Humidity almost as bad 1.hr from Lake Erie. 80s in May is far fr normal.

[@ginnypennington1426]

Yes, 90 degrees in SE Ohio and high humidity. Having to do outdoor work very early or later in the evening. Not normal!

[@wildturkey8752]

Your plants look great. I’m starting to think I might have some bad seed for corn. Planted corn 3 times already and not satisfied with germination.

[@MarshaShelley-t3n]

Why feed them hay when they have grass to eat? Ours always did fine just on grass. Just curious.

[@pecangrovems]

They have calves on them. This has is high protein.

[@KennyG233]

Potato salad time

[@kaysmith7684]

I have a question about something my neighbor has in his garden. Neither of us has seen this before. He is growing straight neck yellow squash. All from the same seed pack. Some look normal. Some look normal, except they are totally green even when 4 to 5 inches long. But the most unusual are the ones that are half yellow and half green. The end attached to the plant is the green half. It is not a gradual change in color. They are shaped like a normal squash. It's as if someone drew a line around the middle section of the squash, and on one side of the line, it's the normal yellow color, and on the other side of the line, it's as green as grass. On the same plant, there are normal yellow squash. Have you ever seen this before, or do you have any idea, even a guess as to what is going on? Danny is one of the most knowledgeable gardeners I know. If he doesn't have an answer, I doubt I'll find one.

[@pecangrovems]

Wherever the seeds come from let them cross pollinate with another variety. Possibly a zucchini.

[@wendyfrench9599]

Danny what cover crop do you recommend for raised beds?

[@tanyabriggs8969]

I have 40 20 gal tubs , plus lots of 5-10 gal plantings of peppers herbs etc. In my tubs I've been using mustard OR peas in tubs not being used for fall winter here in PNW. I like the peas cause if they do sprout well (timing) and get thick I have a lot of organic matter to chop in early. Mustard I eat till frost kills but some years I have to chop it up. Mustard my attempt to hopefully discourage stink bugs for next year.

[@pecangrovems]

Anything that's edible.

[@steppininit8559]

What are the red Hoops in the high tunnel with your eggplants and peppers

[@autumnwest5854]

Cloth holders.

They were used to cover them before we got the top on the high tunnel.

[@LeeCraftyHomestead]

Are you moving the other High tunnel over to pecan grove ?

[@pecangrovems]

No

Are tomato worms poisonous?

Chicken love them

[@pecangrovems]

No not to chickens.

[@sandyrees490]

My husband just said that you have a lot of eggplants for 2 people. Do you sell them, preserve them somehow or share with your animals?

[@vickisavage8929]

I suspect that they are preserving for later use what they don’t eat now. Putting food by is a major occupation, but they know exactly what they are eating.

[@sandyrees490]

@@vickisavage8929 I agree. I was curious as to how they preserve it. I’ve never stored eggplant nor have I heard of anyone doing it
