Vegetables You Can Grow in the Texas Summer Heat

[@erivida64]

I love how happy he gets and perks up when asked about different plants, wish he was a relative I could talk to and pick his brain for valuable information 😂

[@jazminelisseth]

I love his enthusiasm cause that’s how I feel about growing my own veggies

[@gaildauzat4400]

Blackberry not producing on old branch does it apply to all blackberry plants?

[@lmgorbea1]

So sad the video stopped working about halfway of the video. So much good information. I'm in Corpus Christi Texas

[@judy4872]

Salado TX, thank you so much! Don't stop your videos, now is the time to share.

[@truthseeker9688]

Jing Okra does wonderful in large (22 gallon) pots. Tender and tastes great when picked at 3 to 5 inches. It's red but green after cooking. The plants and blooms are beautiful and I pair it with parsley and basil in large pots in my front foundation plants...just keep them lush and trimmed. So pretty, and I use the parsley for cooking year round...the freezes in Houston don't even phase it.

[@judytooley5999]

What could understood on this video was wonderfully informative. Sadly the second part was not understandable…. But what I could,…. with much difficulty, understand was so knowledgeable. Thank you for at least that much information.

[@davidrandall5743]

Great growing information for the Texas heat region. So glad I found this channel!

[@EyeSea]

This video had me grinning throughout it, thank you so much!! Doing amazing work! 🌞

[@adamscott7545]

Jute is the common English name of the middle eastern malakia that he said. Really grows well, bake it before adding to soups or stir fries to knock down the slime. Same for malabar and okra

[@amandamorrison5777]

Pill bugs love dragon tongue beans. They devour the beans that touch the ground and later the stems of the plant. Be cautious with that variety or plant a different bush bean instead if you don't want the hassle.

[@shirleybowles6661]

Thank you from Plano, Tx

[@tabithasherie3279]

So much great information, too bad nearly half of the video is inaudible. Wish there was a version of this video prerecorded rather than Facebook Live, which rarely streams without issues 😒

[@GardenersPOV]

2nd half was unwatchable. no idea why they didn't cut it or re-record off-line once they realized the video feed was broken.

[@CarolynLDean]

I appreciate this, as I am a fairly new gardener here in East Texas, and I'm just getting started with edible landscaping and heavy clay soil. I'm looking for all the info I can get! :)

[@jx2031]

Me too

[@killodendron]

The soil in Texas varies drastically, depending on specific location. Also when they build new homes and clear land, they scrape off aallllll the good topsoil so you basically have to start from scratch. I have clay with pockets of sand. Start building on it now. Anytime you have some extra money and/or time, just start throwing down some organic mulch here and there, and occasionally compost, right on top of the clay. The more, the better. Also, drainage. Really pay attention to anywhere water pools when it rains, because it just sits on that damn clay and will drown out your plants if you don't improve the water flow in the area. Those are the most important steps before doing anything down here. I've been slowly working on mine for years, but I have pretty huge beds I've been building up. It's a process, lots of sweat, but it's such a great feeling when you first go to dig for spring planting, and see how it's been magically transformed into beautiful, rich soil. ...or just build raised beds. 🙃😂

[@maximanthemaxican7654]

Thanks for tips in Texas heat...I’m near Galveston...and don’t have a green thumb, but very willing to learn! Maxi is the mini schnauzer btw..I’m Karen

[@larrylarive8892]

I tried the vegetable bag's on to protect my vegetables & fruits work grate for birds & squrils

[@LauraG313]

QUESTION: can you plant pole beans with okra and allow it to climb up the okra? If so, would you plant the okra before the pole beans and I’d so how big should the okra be before you do? Thank you in advance.

[@BestConsignment]

great stuff but around 31 minutes the audio went south

[@virginiaallisonpeck2517]

Thank you for your hard work and education... this is useful information 👏🏻🇺🇸❤️

[@delgraven3624]

I wish there was a version of this in which the speaker didn't break up after about 1/2 way through.

[@GardenersPOV]

agree 100%

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Thank you for this info! Love those fruit trees :)

[@rachelel-yafi3210]

Thank you for such a helpful video! I'm new to gardening and really appreciate learning what to grow in this heat. Btw, your pronunciation of mulukhiyah was great :)

[@pillaryclinton6187]

did you record it with a potatoe too cuz the quality is horrible

[@carrowxhex6891]

Thanks for the education

[@christileewall]

A great informational video...I think, guys. But really, do we have ANYONE here in Texas that is able to produce content for Texas gardeners that is informational AND good AUDIO/VISUALLY? What's the deal? We get either/or , OR alot of neither!!!

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

I’m not perfect! But our quality is pretty good

[@bevonviechweg7891]

Hi Viechweg from Brooklyn I think its the background noise but i am just hear for the info Thank you

[@CoolGuyDoingCoolStuff]

Its hot here in Dallas. My strawberries are dying. They can only get full sun from 12pm-6pm. Would they be better off in shade since it's so hot?

[@lauranilsen8988]

I have mine in a weird spot that get some sun and then shade and then some sun again. There are 2 big trees not far away. Most of the sunny time is morning sun. They are doing really well here in SW Houston.

[@twallaceii]

Were in east Texas. Huntington

[@skyangel6336]

How about cow peas? Are they in zone 8? I want to try those zipper cream peas I love those!

[@janicehuff2217]

I am not sure what went wrong but both picture and sound are awful on this video. Need a better camera? and put a real mic on him please.

[@2011marinemom]

Also, The sound coming from Skip is at a good level, but when the host of the show starts speaking, her voice is so loud. We are literally having to turn up sound to hear Skip 🔊and frantically lower 🔈the sound of hostesses voice! How about a sound check next time. On a lighter note, Great informative video. Love the Garden!!!

[@AlessaTX]

Thinking the fact that it was a live video didnt help. When internet connection isn’t perfect it can ruin video quality.

[@scottteven3196]

This video starts breaking up at the end 😢

[@jonbeck2391]

How do you get rid of grubs in the soil

[@TheRainHarvester]

I just dig and hunt before planting. Otherwise i like them to eat leaves...= soil. Watch my garden videos. In talk about using them.

[@georgiaowen2469]

This video is damaged. About the last quarter is broken too bad to hear. Hopefully, you can reinstall it.

[@bevonviechweg7891]

Yea the video is sticking a bit

[@judyandfriends123]

great video

[@bevonviechweg7891]

Any info on why my apple leaves are curling It has small fruits on the tree Is it ok to spray the leaves

[@composthog4332]

Can anyone tell me the two types of purslane he mentioned?

[@laurelweiner8]

grows as weed in early spring...everywhere and deliscious

[@composthog4332]

@@laurelweiner8 well, that's what I've been told and I even bought seeds from bakers Creek. They suggest you harvest before blooming to limit the spread. Ha They came up beautifully in some pots and when I was getting ready to harvest some, an insect ate all the leaves off so I have a bunch of stems?! I see beautiful sprawling plants in places where I wouldn't dare harvest it, like industrial areas. I can grow peppers (don't like sweet ones though), okra, tomatoes as long as they're small, radishes and blackberries. Ha ha I want to grow greens at home. The European cabbage moth is the bane of my existence! Hope you get to enjoy lots of lovely purslane. Cheers

[@Phasorann]

hello guys thank for share I like your tv

[@sarahjones3943]

Adding a little vinegar will keep slimy okra at minimum..

[@joycehancock3063]

The video kept stopping ad skipping, couldn’t hear what u were saying, and I was really interested too. Bummer

[@joycehancock3063]

Wish you would remake this video again, missed a lot with all the skipping

[@valeriesanchez3074]

[@sislertx]

Small local.farmers.markets...have farmers who usually share info...just wait till its slow and start the conversation

[@un4gtble14u8]

what's wrong with the camera, aside from it being very low quality, like 480p?

[@slingshoter8783]

It would of been nice if we could of heard half of the video

[@davidcliff2141]

The operator won’t stop talking

[@solarisortu505]

I just hate it when my tube is swollen and I can't get it to drip properly! ahahaha hahaha 🤣😂🤣. So no skeet skeet skeeting.. That's bad for the plants... Instead I'll make it rain on the ground only.. but I could have sworn spilling your seed on the ground was bad but then it's the garden so I guess it's okay! 😂😂🎉😂

[@georgiaowen2469]

You said you painted something tomato red for the birds. The video is bad just enough that I don’t know what you painted, just that the mockingbirds don’t like it. Anyone hear that part?

You can saute okra to de slime okra

[@composthog4332]

Do you mean touching them irritates your skin? Or something even worse? I get red and itchy so I just pick super carefully with a long sleeve on and a glove. Okra never bothers my mouth or even if I eat it raw. You?

[@sislertx]

U think the sound is horrible..have u driven on an aggie.designed road...animals they are great with...and plants...but evidently their audio visual department head should be fired.

[@GardenersPOV]

was enjoying until 2nd half of video which was completely garbled. why even post that part? re-record or cut it. very frustrating as it seemed there was a lot of good q&a that we all missed.

[@sislertx]

I really so t understand i hear it fine...oh wait..i spoke too soon...good grief..how embarrassing for them.

[@Ms.Byrd68]

No offense but the video on this was TERRIBLE.
