My compost this summer presented me with two avocado plants and one mango plant. The seeds have rooted and I potted them when I discovered them. This video came in just in time, I live in Ontario. Thanks for good ideas

[@awesomeoverload]

@@GravefriHave Hi, thanks for your sharing your experience with the avocados. This is my very first time and now I have mines inside and I will try my best. Good day!

[@NMW80]

What sort of avocado seeds sprouted for you in the compost heap? Lol that’s awesome they sprouted for you.

[@awesomeoverload]

@@NMW80 Yeah I am not really sure on the avocado type, I just buy them at the local grocery but yeah Lol I totally did not expect them, However it is a challenge to keep them alive especially in my northern region.

[@NMW80]

Mind Expanding In Consciousness I live in a cool temperate zone in Australia so I live in a cool area too. I mean it’s prob not as cold as where you live but it still gets quite chilly here as we are above sea level quite a lot which makes it colder too. I have some avo seedlings growing too and I’m going to try and grow a bacon avo tree and a few other cold hardy types. You should be able to grow them in a green house maybe? Or inside in winter time and then outside again for warmer seasons. But they take for ever to fruit from seed so it’s more of an experiment to me to see if they can survive the cold weather before spending a fortune at a nursery and getting some proper grafted trees.

[@awesomeoverload]

@@NMW80 I live in Canada, Its been pretty cool for a few nights in the last week. I am trying to plant apple and plum trees this year because I know they can grow here but I can try again with avocado and maybe try this type you mention. I also constructed a small green house this spring but I built it for seedlings. I hope you do well with your seedlings.

[@alexlandry9062]

So to be clear her citrus trees are in the ground but they’re covered by the greenhouse and protected from freezing- that’s fantastic!

[@RenataCarlos]

I am brazilian and if I can grow passionfruit I am happy !!!!! loved the video thanks

[@johntitor7600]

Great to see the pawpaw tree there. Amazing fruit. It can be outside in the cold.

[@timothkeyyprice]

She mentioned managing scale: I have a universal spray for all problems. It is made from 1 gal. distilled water into which I place two silver wires attached to a 9 volt battery for 12 hours, in the dark. Use the water by adding to each quart 1 tbs. neem oil, & 1 tbs. Murphy's soap. Keep above 60 F and shake well. I generally water the leaves first, then spray liberally with silver/soap solution. It kills mold, insects, and plants look great. This has no damaging effect that I have ever seen, and the only real cost is the distilled water. You can just use plain water too, but don’t try to make it into a silver solution, and there will be less mold prevention. Hope this helps you. It is amazingly effective.

[@bradcavanagh3092]

Distilled water doesn't conduct electricity, so your battery & wire step doesn't do anything.

[@timothkeyyprice]

🤣🤣😉 Doing this all these years with a 9 volt dc wallwart has been an illusion? You are so full of 💩.

[@bradcavanagh3092]

@@timothkeyyprice You need an electrolyte in water for it to conduct electricity. This is high school-level science. What do you think you're doing to the water?

[@SHANONisRegenerate]

Distilled water will conduct electricity but only a fraction of what normal water will conduct electricity. This is because even though it is distilled , it still has impurities.

[@timothkeyyprice]

I do this regularly. If I leave it 24 hours the water become nearly opaque black. You never should pretend to know something if you have not actually done it. 👎🏻

[@HaydenGladstonePT]

[@441rider]

I've grown 6 varieties of citrus in Canada for about 7 years, it can be done. I added Blue Mtn coffee tree starters this year.

[@offgridcurtisstone]

What do you live and what kind of greenhouse do you have? Have you shared any videos anywhere?

[@441rider]

[@memph7610]

Millenial Gardener was growing avocados in North Carolina and using Christmas lights and frost jackets to protect them from cold snaps in the winter, so yeah, they should be able to handle 1C. She should try banana passionfruits too, they're invasive in southern New Zealand, which can be rather cool during the winter and frequently flirts with the freezing mark. Sweet granadilla (p. ligularis) would probably suffer with those kinds of cool temperatures, they prefer soil temps of 10C+ I think. They can grow in Cusco (~12C daily means year-round) and Algarve (southern Portugal), but not in northern Portugal.

[@mapofthesoultagme7143]

[@vacciniumaugustifolium1420]

Exact same question here 😐 I'm sure if you think enought about your project you'll find a solution

[@Weirdomanification]

Sorry this is late, but you might consider a sunken greenhouse with nighttime rollout insulation for the roof glazing. Also maybe external reflective panels, they can be made from polished aluminum. This is what I plan on doing.

[@lorrainehardy9737]

Can you grow lemons and grapefruit from seed? I have some little plants now from seed and wonder if thet Will they produce one day?

[@tarquinbristow492]

Citrus have quite a long juvenile phase (very thorny vegetative growth and no flowers) that can last up to 15 years. I think lemons are faster but never lose the thorns. Will make a great long term pot project.

[@cathymaynen324]

I did that long ago. They never flowered/fruited. If you are ok w just having as a plant with thorns but if you want the other I think it's a waste of time.

[@NMW80]

Yes you sure can, I’m growing heaps of lemon trees via seed atm and all doing well and all germinated. I have them inside atm on window area but they will be going out soon as weather warms up. I live in cool temperate zone in Australia. The trick to germinating them for me was keep them warm and I germinated them in damp paper towel in a container sitting on top of fridge where it’s warm or on pc etc where it’s always warm. It’s winter here too so it gets so cold here where I live near Melbourne Australia but they can go outside soon as weather warms up in bigger tubs. I am hoping at least a few will have nice fruit. I am also getting some cuttings growing soon too so at least I know I will get fruit soon from them.

[@NMW80]

Cathy Maynen omg really? You prob needed another lemon tree to pollinate maybe? Or maybe they’re gmo?

[@cathymaynen324]

@@NMW80 they never set flowers so a cross pollinator wouldn't help.

Where is that? Paw paws and jujubes shouldn't need to be in the greenhouse unless it's a very very short season

[@NMW80]

Wow really? I thought they were tropical fruits and would die without a greenhouse?

[@feralkevin]

@@NMW80 Paw Paws (not Papaya which are sometimes called the same name) and jujubes are deciduous trees and can grow in my cold climates without protection.

[@organicgrow4440]

feralkevin wow thank you! I’m so upset with my self right now, for years I’ve put off buying an American Pawpaw tree thought it was super tropical for my temperate climate on the other hand I do grow Papaya lol which is sort of tropical although papaya is a much cheaper investment here I picked up bisexual red for 50c compared to $60+ which is not really that expensive for a rare tropical fruit tree & ive just found out seed grown is possible just wow man I keep learning here!! Excited! Perfect timing for this information as it’s almost spring! 🌱 ☀️

[@NMW80]

Organic Grow I know I’m annoyed at myself too for not researching things like this years ago. I could have so many fruit trees all bearing fruit by now. I didn’t even bother to buy avocado in my cool temperate zone in Australia either but now I know it can be done with some varieties I’m so doing it.
