I was told you can't plant different kind of squash in the same Garden or it'll get toxic they said it includes pumpkins and cucumbers is that not true
@TheMillennialGardenerАй бұрын
@@KimmieAbbasServant no, it isn't true. You can plant whatever you want together. Some plants make better companions than others, because some plants are viney and will climb over and crowd out other plants, so you need to keep that in mind. You can also have problems with shade if you plant tall plants in front of the sun and they block light to smaller plants, so you have to keep sun orientation in mind. You also need to keep in mind that if you plant lots of squash plants together, that will draw in squash-related insects, because you're creating an all-you-can-eat buffet of similar species, so you need to be prepared for that. However, there is nothing "toxic" about it. Just be smart about planting so you don't mix plants that will choke each other out or produce too much shade.

I’m in north central Alabama. It is time to start shifting to a fall garden in my area. I have potatoes and Brunswick Cabbage that have sprouted, and I am waiting on Danvers Carrots to sprout. Tomorrow I will sow seeds for golden beets. I have turnip seeds on order; as soon as they arrive, I will sow them too. The last of my zucchini plants has laid flat, and is ready to remove. The beds I use for planting summer squash will be used for sowing seeds for cauliflower and broccoli in about two weeks. I have three tomato plants with ripening fruit. As soon as they are done, I will dig out the raised beds and move them to a new location that will give them more sunlight in the fall and winter, and shade in late spring and summer. After moving the raised beds, I will sow seeds for parsnips and another batch of beets. In September, I’ll sow seeds for Pak Choi, Yellow Heart Winter Choy, Tatsoi, and radishes. October is garlic month, and then the cycle begins anew in January. It never ends for me, snow or no snow.

You're right the best time to plant woody stem plants is the late summer fall. I've lived in Phoenix 9b & N of Houston in 8b/9 I've done that for years and few failures related to failed plants.

Spring planting is rough. It gets hot and dry before the plants establish. When I order trees online, I try to push for as early of a shipment in winter as possible. I need to get them in ASAP in February so they can establish before it gets too hot in May. The best time to plant is going to be when things are wet and cooling down, whenever that is for you. Now is actually the *best* time for me, but unfortunately, it's tough to get stock this time of year.

I'm growing various varieties of tomatoes in pots. Online sources say 70 - 90 degrees for setting fruit. I'm finding that hard to believe. . They seem to be wanting to produce fruit when hi 60's and 70s. In fact I have a whole bunch of tomatoes that just came out of what looked like dead blossoms. I'm happily amazed.
@TheMillennialGardenerАй бұрын
Large-fruited tomatoes do not set fruit well when daytime temps eclipse 90F and nighttime temps eclipse 70F. The pollen gets sticky and the flowers become sterile. The ideal temperature for tomato fruit set is daytime temps in the 70-85F range and nighttime temps in the 55-65F range. If I were a tomato plant, every day would be a high of 80F and a low of 62F. Smaller-fruited tomatoes, like cherry tomatoes, are more resilient in the heat. But the real enemy of tomatoes is full summer sun. They like dappled light situations.

My summer squash always start strong and produce until the squash borers get them. Tried ALL the squash borer solutions but not much joy. I grew Tromboncinos this year with great success. Here is the problem. I spotted squash borers moths in the first week of May. My summer squash were done by second week of June. The tromboncinos mostly shrugged off the borers until the first week in July. The borers still attack them but only at the base of the leaves and cannot penetrate the stems. I harvested a number of greens and let 3 go to winter stage, one at 8 lbs and 44"! At one point, the 44" squash grew 4.5 inches in 24 hours. Point is, people say to replant after squash borers, but in my region they don't stop in June! Um, just realized I'm a bit off track. Tromboncino=good, squash borers=bad. I tried several several plantings of summer squash over the last 6 weeks. Zucchini, yellow, and crook neck but no joy. The pest load is too great or the temp is too high. Promising spouts die or develop 4-6 tiny stunted leaves and stall. I think the temperature is too high... 95 degree average here in July? Any suggestions? I have a 4.5' x 10' box behind my townhome. I'm getting enough okra to pickle a pint jar a week, a pint of cherry tomatoes every 2 days, 2nd year of trying peppers and eggplant with no luck. Good production with yellow beans earlier in spring. Probably more productive beans but that is what I started with and save seeds.

Excellent! Now is actually a really good time to start ordering fruit trees. Planting them in late summer is the best. Usually, they catch the tail end of thunderstorm season when it's still fairly humid and wet, which is highly beneficial. Then, they can slowly establish during the cool weather. Unless you're on the west coast where it's bone dry, August is a pretty good planting month if you have rain and humidity, but the heat is dissipating.

The pie tins and basil planted through the rest of my plots. I've had no more problems. I still have to believe that the smell of regular and spicy basil saved my tomatoes this year. They have been stripped before, but not since last year when I tried planting the basil in it. I will let you know how it works next year. Deer destroyed my patatoes this year.

Not necessarily. Many of these things will not grow well in a grow bag. For large individual plants like squash and cucumbers, grow bags are great. I use them every year for those plants. But string beans and corn, on the other hand, would not do well. String beans need long rows, and corn need incredible amounts of nutrients, so neither will be very productive in containers. Same thing with leeks and onions. You'd get poor yields compared to a raised bed. Fruit trees should never be grown in grow bags, only in-ground or in hard plastic nursery containers.

Any tips on what I can do to stop cucumber beetles from destroying my direct sown cucumbers(cucurbits in general really)? I pick them off manually and use DE, but they end up doing enough damage to the stem that the plants never make it off the ground...

It's monsoon season here in Arizona. What nutrient(s) does the rain wash away in the soil (if any) and what should I be feeding my plants following a heavy rain?
@TheMillennialGardenerАй бұрын
That question isn't possible to answer, because it will be different in every location and in every soil type. You should be fertilizing them every 7-14 days with an all purpose organic granular fertilizer and supplementing with water soluble fertilizers to help them push through stress.

As long as the temps come down within the next month, they should be ok. It is much hotter than that here, currently, but that’s why I put shade cloth up. That is the real key.

Surprised you planted an Avocado tree in your zone. What variety is it? I live in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL (NE FL) zone 9B and would love to have an Avocado tree. I looked at the Mexicolas. Our temps and dip into the 20s in December and January but not always. In 2022 we had a several niights of hard frost in the low 20s in December. In 2023/24 we have had no frosts. Great videos. Just took up gardening this year. Love your channel. Thanks!

You must harvest a ton of produce during your growing season. How do you harvest and use/preserve it all? Would really appreciate a video on that. My garden did great last year but I was overwhelmed with what to do with it all!
@TheMillennialGardenerАй бұрын
I harvest year-round. It's really not hard to eat almost all of it. You just have to change your eating habits. Force yourself to eat exclusively out of your garden. We really only buy meat, dairy and eggs. Everything else, we eat what's in season. If you do that, you can go through an insane amount of food. The mistake people make is they don't change their shopping habits, so their home grown produce goes to waste.

Anthony, I would be very appreciative of a sweet corn in late summer/early fall dedicated video. I’m particularly interested in how to prepare the soil, what to put in the planting hole or trench when sowing, and how often and what to fertilize with at the various stages of growth. Thanks for considering!
@TheMillennialGardenerАй бұрын
I have a dedicated video on corn here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIXRoKhviMt5o5osi=49Ku1xVRr8w7LURz The key for fall corn to do well is to pick an early variety and fertigate weekly with a water soluble fertilize high in nitrogen. Do not bother with organic modern sweet corn. It won’t go well. Use something like Jack’s 20-20-20 or MG AP 24-8-16 weekly alongside some organic food.

I may have made a mistake, but Most of the trees I have were here or grown from seed. I will be finding their ground soon, but, when you have a wonderful fruit, why not keep it going? Lemon, Peach, Plumb... I did have a few others pop up, oak & liquid ember, maybe maple too. still not sure about that leaf... now, I may work 12 or 13 hours a day, but I will water before & after work if needed. Often, watering by flashlight, & even now, I worry about some plants, they are light & we have wind. Had to upright 6 today... PPL have asked me about dogs v.s. Cats... & I answer, on those cold, rainy days, would you rather take you Dog for a walk, or clean the cat box inside your home? I am more of a cat person :-) But, I still like dogs. . .

We live in SE Texas. Both of my great grandmothers always said to plant trees in months that end in “er”
@TheMillennialGardenerАй бұрын
It depends on the tree. If I planted, say, citrus, figs or avocados that late here, they may not survive the winter. They have to establish first. For dormant/deciduous trees, that timeframe can be ideal in most of the US. But, in states that have a winter dry season, like Florida, again, that's tricky. It's really location-dependent and will vary based on what you're planting.

Love your videos! I have carbon and cherokee purple tomatos. The top 1/3 of the tomatoes stay green and some stay green plus spiral split around the top. Do you have any advice on what may be causing this? I live in southern Va, about an hour from NC. Thanks!
@TheMillennialGardenerАй бұрын
Yes, I stopped growing those varieties years ago. They don't ripen well, and they struggle badly here due to the heat, humidity and rainfall. I have much better luck growing a variety called Rosella Purple early in the season, which is better than both Cherokee Purple *and* Carbon, and it doesn't have the green shoulders issue. It is a Dwarf Tomato Project tomato, so it quits very early in the year, but the flavor is out of this world. You may also want to look into Chef's Choice purple if you're looking for a more reliable indeterminate. It's an F1 version of Cherokee Purple and is a little better with yields.

What's the latest summer date I should plant cantaloupe in zone 7b?
@TheMillennialGardener8 күн бұрын
It depends on your 7b. Annuals are grown based on frost dates. Hardiness zones are for perennials. You'll probably need a solid 100 days of growing season remaining to get a ripe cantaloupe, unless it's a very small variety, because day length will drop and they will struggle to reach maturity come October. I'm guessing it's probably too late, unless you try an extremely small variety like Honey Rock.

It depends if you don't care if they grow true to type. If you're growing F1's, or if you're growing numerous varieties nearby that cross-pollinate, they won't grow true and you'll get random cucumber plants. I do not save seed. I buy fresh seed when I run out of seed.

No. Avocado trees should never be container grown. They need full access to the soil. Even “dwarfing” varieties. It is in that raised bed due to drainage in my rear property.
