✌️😜 Always something useful for everyone, Thanks Brother 😁💒A Blessed Joyful Mother's Day to the momma's 💕⚔️ God Bless us All 🇺🇸🙏✝️

[@CountryLivingExperience]

You’re welcome. Have a blessed day

[@texasjuls]

My Dad planted cayenne peppers to repel ants in the garden. We live in East Texas.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Cool. Thanks

[@mikerudd4943]

Good idea on cantaloupe

[@kristyholman351]

I always like your gardening videos because I’m in Texas too and it can be very challenging. Adding Swiss chard, collards and Chinese noodle beans to my list of planting today. Thank you!

[@CountryLivingExperience]

You’re welcome. Glad the video was helpful

[@seajay958]

I planted 50 purple sweet potato slips this month, they like heat

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Nice!

[@GeraldNoethen]

Okra and blackeye peas love the texas heat

[@dr3406]

💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Have a blessed day!!!

[@deannamoore6676]

Lol, I saved way too many, okra seeds last year. We went on vacation in Sept, and they "finally " were ready while we were gone 😂.

[@reneebrown2968]

Luckily my sweetpotatoes have sprouted up so I spread them out and they are growing great. My Jerusalem artichokes are doing well and my tobbaco plant is sky high and blooming.

[@kerryshultz9766]

Thank you but we are almost in our Winter in Australia NSW. They do say it's going to be a warm Winter 😯. I will listen to your video and I'm sure I will learn lots. Thanks and God bless ❤

[@deannamoore6676]

I'm trying our corn in our 21x4 raised bed this year. With a squash on each end and the blue lake bush beans around the edges. 3 feet of corn down the middle. So we shall see. We haven't had any luck with it in ground.

[@ashleehouse5204]

I haven't had alot of issues with ants in the corn, worms though. I've only tried corn twice. I don't think I have my spacing right, they aren't full. My neighbor gave me some red and blue corn seeds yesterday. I'm excited to try them!

[@carlwest859]

That's a good list you gave us, thanks. Howard Garrett used to recommend home brewed garlic/pepper tea for some garden pests. True pyrethrin would be another organic and natural pesticide. Ants bite my okra blooms and pods to feed off the sap they ooze out and they attacked my potatoes for the first time this year biting the new stem growth and blooms. Drats.

[@williamcavanaugh4090]

My grandmother grew corn in her back yard and I always saw her small crop planted with mint between and bordering the corn. The area she lived in is considered Zone 8b here in Texas as well.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Interesting. Thanks for the tip

[@amyking3236]

Sweet potatoes are great because you can also eat the leaves either cooked or raw in a salad or on a sandwich. Also the ducks and rabbits love them for additional feed as the Summer heat cooks all the other vegetation. That's why I grow them.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Absolutely! We eat a lot of sweet potato greens.

[@deannamoore6676]

Ahh I need to try Chard or collard greens I haven't tried either of them yet. Hmm actually sweet potatoes already on my wish list. I didn't realize they are summer.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Collards are great.

[@ashleehouse5204]

I plant my sweet potato slips after 'last frost.' As the vines grow, I'll bury a foot or so if the middle of a vine (usually pull the leaves off but not always), maybe an inch deep. All those leaf junctions will potentially root too and grow sweet potatoes. Then I wait til just before our first freeze to harvest. The greens are edible to people and most animals too. Then, keep a few to grow new slips and keep some vine segments to root. Keep a small pot inside during winter so in spring I have slips and rooted stems ready for planting.

[@glow1815]

I direct sow all of my vegetables and herbs etc in the ground. Will try brush beans for the first time, I might try canulope as well just don't have enough room.

[@bubbascoutdog]

Cool, I’m in 8b too. Y’all are close to me. I near Lake Livingston.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Nice. I rented a lake house there before for a weekend of relaxation.

[@jeffreyhutchinsdo]

Great video! Think I’ll head out and plant some okra today. Thanks for the tips!

[@CountryLivingExperience]

You’re welcome

[@taiholiman961]

Cinnamon powder, Ants HATE IT!!!!!

[@patriot2832]

Not sure if this would work with ants in your area but have you considered planting a row of marigold flowers next to the corn row to repel ants?

[@CountryLivingExperience]

I’ve tried that one before. Didn’t seem to do much

[@kathrynramirez3131]

Have you tried Diatomaceous earth? I just heard about using it in the garden. Not sure if it will help with your ants. I am going to throw some on the top of my soil to help with pests. Would like to know if you tried it and whether or not it works for you.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

I have tried it before but maybe I didn't put enough so I did not see results. Thank you for the reminder.

[@Dalmatianbee]

@@CountryLivingExperience I would make a barrier around the entire crop if you are going to try it. If the wind blows it away or there is a way around it they will find a way. Ants are great at navigating obstacles.

[@vginnmusa3128]

Works only on bugs w exoskeletons

[@ashleehouse5204]

Ok.. so, everyone loves beans and peas. Maybe im doing something wrong. It takes HOURS to get enough beans/peas out of the pods to cook anything. Is that just how it is, or am I doing it wrong?

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Shelling beans and peas is a laborious process. Good things come with hard work. They do take some time.

[@reneebrown2968]

Don't let okra go to seed until you have ate all the okra you want. It will stop producing as soon as one pod goes to seed.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Thanks but not the variety I grow.

[@kevindavis3841]

Corn? No. Year eight of our journey first time not trying corn. Never any ears 😢

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Corn has been a challenge for us too.

[@sc2618]

Well, At least you'll have corn stalks to decorate with in the Fall! 😊 That's why I started growing corn.

[@ashleehouse5204]

I struggle with corn too. I've been told by some locals it's improper spacing so they aren't getting pollinated. I keep planting it bc the animals love it.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

@@ashleehouse5204 Could be improper spacing and not enough of it. You need a lot to help pollinate.

[@kevindavis3841]

@@ashleehouse5204 I will probably try again next year. This year’s garden is pantry specific.
