I did chaos flowers this year and they are sprouting really well!

[@LoveGrowLiveFree]

Love this idea!

[@sighthound5449]

Me too ❤

[@Kane.Wiseman]

Yes do it

[@katherinehepperle4630]

We save our egg shells. I grind them up in the blender to a fine powder and add a handful of that to the hole I have dug for my tomato plants

[@sheilamalone227]

And you can just mix up some powdered milk, and pour into the hole. This is what I do. Some people grind up “Tumms” . They just want the calcium !!

[@user-mc3tp5sd2z]

I do this too. It really helped my peppers when they weren’t fruiting.

[@marie3503]

I can’t wait to see what eggplant recipes you tried this year. A good eggplant recipe is slice round slices put tomatoe sauce and Parmesan cheese on it and put on grill.

[@carolynmills513]

I've heard that the slugs don't like the shells either.

[@jks9204]

@@carolynmills513 crushed, not powdered though. Cause the sharp edges are the trick.

[@catherinemcfarland6401]

Funny story, when I was about 9 my mother had planted a small garden including an eggplant. One day I was in the garden and saw a big eggplant. All excited I ran to my mother to tell her we had the biggest plum in the world in our garden. LOL!

[@zivagoldman2001]

Becky, your peppers are called cho-dee-share-doe (Txorixero) and the other is sweet mor-oo-ga, which is a scorpion pepper. I hope you don't mind me helping you with pronunciation. My husband is dyslexic and I tend to help him with words and spelling a lot. In our home, I do all the spelling/writing, and he does all the math and computers! :)

[@juliecolbourn8232]

I am not sure if you have seen gorilla carts but they literally transformed my garden work compared to a wheelbarrow. They have 4 wheels and a dump feature. My husband kept suggesting one and I kept saying my wheelbarrow was fine. I finally relented and literally every time I use it, it makes me happy.

[@jelatinosa]

I also thought of them when I saw her trying to pull out her wheelbarrow from the grow room and it looked like it was going to tip over.

[@fizzypop1858]

I agree with you! Gorilla Carts make my life so much easier. I DO NOT MISS my old wheelbarrow. :)

[@TheEmbrio]

Wheelbarrows have a use but to carry flat things, for sure a cart (flat one, fabric one, gorillanbrand whatever)

[@MrandMrsBurns]

I love my Gorilla Cart! So much lighter to pull 6 bags of mulch than to push 5.

[@RhondaCampbell-gh2jd]

Gorilla carts are a God send in the garden!!

[@jelatinosa]

All the experiments I've seen with that egg trick and other tricks like the fish show that it doesn't actually help, but it can hinder the growth of plants because since it's not broken down into the useasble minerals for the plant, it actually takes up nutrients like nitrogen to break/compost down.

[@ErinCrooks-vw3ig]

I would be interested to know who else has done an experiment on this. Kevin at Epic did last year, but I believe the egg was barely any different from the control tomato for him. I have one that I forgot this year but it’s a different variety, so it’ll be hard to say whether it makes a difference.

[@wendya1250]

Yes I have heard that so this year I am experimenting without the egg to see if it makes a difference. We don't have chickens so it saves me buying eggs but I did put some organic tomato fertilizer in the hole.

[@andreamortimer2610]

I have done a side-by-side with 12 plants; six received an egg, six went without. The ones that received an egg actually did slightly produce worse. The eggs have to break down first (or weather) to become bioavailable. For eggshells, it takes about 2 years.

[@lisawallace3124]

The "theory" behind putting an egg in the hole is that blossom end rot is typically caused by a calcium deficiency and the thought that egg shells are made of calcium. While it's true, raw egg shells calcium takes a LONG time to break down and be available for the plant/fruit. I save the shells, bake them and crush finely. The baking converts the hard-to-use calcium in the shells to a more-easily-used form and finely crushing makes the pieces small enough to break down more quickly.

[@jelatinosa]

@@lisawallace3124 I understand the "theory" or hypothesis behind it, but it doesn't have the science to back it up. If anything it has more science against it actually working.

[@palomino5223]

Just a FYI, it takes years for egg shell to leach calcium into the soil. I recently found a recipe in which you grind up egg shells, lots of them, then bake and grind them up. Place in a bucket and let leach 10 days. Strain off and use one ounce to a gallon of water. Spray on leaves, helps with end rot too.

[@cathrinagroiss604]

[@robyn7287]

I did my first last year and couldn’t believe the sweetness of mine compared to store bought. ☺️

[@ebkawadler7904]

Becky you need to really grind up the washed out eggshells before you add them to the tomato and pepper holes. It takes too long for the shells to decompose before the calcium is available to the plants

[@jojonich4405]

Good advice, I’ve heard that also

[@DeborahYoung-gr3eu]

Becky, I just planted my tomatoes! I haven’t planted anything for a long time. I am so excited to see them grow. I have also purchased some canning supplies. I retired last year and now I have a new and fun hobby. Thank you so much for encouraging me through your videos!! ❤😊

With the eggplant you can make a wonderful Middle Eastern called Babaganoosh. It is a beautiful creamy , Smokey dip. Very yummy served with warm flatbread/pittas. Another dish is mousaka made with ground beef and white bechamel sauce, layered with mousaka similar to lasagna

[@Tulip879]

Even eggplant parmigiana is healthy.

[@EstibalizG]

Becky, txoricero, you might find it as choricero. Is a pepper tipical from de Basque Country in the north of Spain. Is a pepper that you collect when it is red, then you hang them tied with some cord and leave to dry. Once it is dried you can storage them, and when you want to use them you put them in hot water for about half an hour to rehydrate and then with the help of a spoon you take put the "meat" of the pepper, discarding the skin. You can use pimiento choricero / txoricero in many steps typical from the north of Spain: Patatas a la riojana (stew of potatoes and chorizo, this pepper and pimentón (similar to paprika) Marmitako (stew tuna with potatoes and peppers) Bacalao a la vizcaína (cod in a sauce made with onions and this pepper) Search for its uses as pimiento choricero, is more usual to find it written this way.

I do that aLL year long and then when I plant tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and pumpkins I put it in the holes I plant in, cover it with an inch or two of if soil and then plant. I get beautiful plants, no blossom end rot. You don't need the whole egg, just the ground up shell

If you grill any, one thing I like to do is; slice small eggplant, or zucchini, and a small tomato. Brush the bottom of the eggplant or zuchinni, place a tomato on top. Cover with shredded Parmesan cheese, and a little black pepper. Grill until the bottom is golden, and the cheese is also. YUM!!

I was talking to someone at the farmers market and they told me that corn likes to grow with a lot of corn. So he suggested that when you plant corn you plant a lot of it. And also I remember my aunt telling me that when she lived up near Canada she had to start her corn indoor and then transfer it into the garden.

[@edabit1]

I was told a minimum of three rows with five plants Per row. Otherwise they will not pollinate each other.

[@kaylakitty3814]

It’s also important to plant corn in a block rather than a long row. This facilitates pollination.

[@user-mc3tp5sd2z]

Yes, you want to plant corn in blocks vs rows so they can pollinate properly.

[@kirstenstoremski3874]

The temperature thing, I have googled pepper plant low tolerance I think 7 times this year alone. Im happy you get to be planting.

[@lindamangoldbooth7789]

If someone has as many raised beds as Becky, why would you mix your beds vs keeping one for peppers, one for tomatoes, one for potatoes, one for flowers, potatoes, etc?

[@palmsandsand]

I’m a fan of mono-cropping for some things, but the benefit would be if one bed gets attacked or does not do well (soil issue or nutrient deficiency), you don’t have all of a specific crop in the bed to fail. It’s somewhat ensuring the harvest. Intercropping also makes the beds look pretty. And lastly some plants do need other plants to minimize pests.

[@lindap9079]

I have always used crushed egg shells w/ my tomatoes. Last year I used the whole egg, the next morning every tomato plant had been uprooted by some critter who went after the egg. A few of my plants were destroyed but I was able to replant most of them. This year it's back to crushed eggshells for me.

[@mollybeee]

I follow another channel that runs a market farm and they said the most important thing for peppers and tomatoes was to make sure the ground was warm enough, that ground temperature is very important.
