Welcome to another Thursday workday. I've got Eric started in the back picking up
passion fruit on the ground and tying up the vines and doing some cleanup of the
beans. Meanwhile, I'm going to give you an idea of what we're going to do today.
I've got some packages to open, that's going to be exciting, and I want to give
some shout outs to three subscribers in particular, and I'm gonna fill you in on
what happened last Thursday, so don't go away. I didn't film last week, per se.
I didn't plan to film, but once we got all this okra planted from the seeds
that I brought back from Kentucky, I said, well, I have to take a few pictures.
We used the rings. I planted them the way they came up. Some came up two and three
together, and some came up single. I didn't thin them out and whatever came
up went into a ring, right down the middle of the back forty. While Eric was
doing that, I put a lot of bean seeds in where the tomatoes had been. All of these
beans are long vines and they can reach up and get the late afternoon Sun. So I
thought, why not? Then Eric planted two beans
I had sprouted and found big worms in the planting hole. While he did that, I
photographed the harvest.
The next task was giving the Weeping Acacia its first pruning. Eric likes me
to supervise all the major cuts. When he was in cleanup mode, I started the
watering, and pruned the perpetual spinach. We took out a number of lower
branches to give more light to the plants under the trees. This is what
happens when you dump two gallons of water on your prolific eggplant bush.
They split. But just look how many on this one branch. It is so loaded down. Oh,
this one split - another big one. This is what I harvested of the Listada di Gandia.
This one was completely disgusting. I think three more of these are split. That
one's starting to split. That's okay, and this one's okay. This one's good.
These things are so sharp, it's like cactus. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah, these
two, this one's too far gone, I think. It's got some mold on it, and this one, might
be able to eat around that, Okay Eric has just taken some baby giant climbing
bamboos out of the ground because they were breaking the irrigation, and now
you're taking a bite of it. Mm-hmm. Really, it's like edible? Really nice, sweet. Yeah, it's
kind of sweet, doesn't taste like food, though. You can eat it if you want, but I'll pass.
All right, cool, okay.
Ah, very nice. They never stop growing. Wow. Chop it off. Well, you can do so much with
bamboo, I suppose you can eat it. Cooking. Okay, take it, you're welcome to it. Okay.
Yeah, okay. This is a package I have been waiting for patiently since last
September. This is from Carman's Nursery, a family-owned nursery for three
generations, and I met Nancy, you'll see in my segment from the National Heirloom
Expo. Now ever since I went to Phoenix and visited Jacq Davis, I've been a
little covetous of her caper plant. And I got this yesterday, Nancy, and I know
I was supposed to open it yesterday, but I I thought it would be so much better
to open it on camera. And there are two caper plants in here, which she has
packed beautifully. Uh, isn't that precious. Oh my, I am so excited.
Look at that. The next thing we're gonna open is from Angie in Kentucky. You
got a glimpse of Angie in my latest video "Driving to Ashland." Please don't
miss that video. It sets up the whole series to follow. Even though it's the
middle of August, she sent me a package of Honey Select corn, her favorite. Snd
it's from Southern States Seed purchased at Bolling's in Catlettsburg, Kentucky.
Pink corn, how unusual. I'm gonna plant just a few of those
kernels, but I can't have great expectations that I'm gonna get anything
before it cools off. The next thing is from Botanical Interests and you know
I'm an affiliate marketer for Botanical Interests, so if you want to
buy seeds, please buy them through my affiliate link, which you'll find in the
description below. Okay, what I ordered was something that one of my viewers
recommended. They always send a free packet of lettuce. Oh,
cucumbers... This one. This is, haha, one person recommended this, and I ordered five
packages of seeds. Okay, this is Cardinal Climber.
I think it's toxic to eat any part of this flower, but the hummingbirds love it.
And it loves to climb up, and I just thought it would look beautiful climbing
up my pine tree. I have such wonderful subscribers and commenters, and one of
those is Mr. Thomas Hines. Now, Mr. Tom found me through old Alabama Gardener
Channel. He's been writing me wonderful comments and watching all of my videos.
M Tom recommended something for mildew and blight that he saw on Gary Pilarchik's
channel, and that is to add 12
tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide into a gallon of water and spray the tomatoes,
either early or late after the sun goes down. So, of course, with all of my mildew
problems, I jumped on that and sprayed yesterday. So I'm waiting to see how
that's going to do. Also, I wanted to give a shout out to Nia Lin.
And I looked back and Nia has been following me for two years now, but just
recently she's been writing big comments, which have been so helpful. She's in
central California, close to the fires and so she's dealing with a lot of stuff
in her garden, from ash in the air, it's very hard to breathe. But I want to give
a shout out to Nia. Thanks so much for following me and being such a great
viewer. And also I want to give a shout out to Jack Redden. Now, Jack found me
just a few days ago and he wrote me about the lizard, about touching the
lizards. Because I had mentioned you're not supposed to touch lizards because
they can carry salmonella. and just to watch them and leave them alone and let
them do their thing in the garden. Trns out Jack is 16 and he has his
first ever garden and he says it helps him with his autism, and I wrote back and
said gardening has so many benefits for so many different kinds of people and I
encouraged him to send me some pictures. So look forward to that. As for what
happened last week, uh. We were over there, I was running the irrigation, he walked
over here for something, and he saw that there were two inches of water standing
between these two raised beds. Okay, a bit of an issue here, a little bit of a flood
on the irrigation, my least favorite part of gardening.
It's underneath both of the raised beds. because I only have a walkway of, I think
it's 14 inches. All this has to be dug up/ Now,
I had just an hour before gotten all this okra planted and I said there is no
way we are digging this up. I am going to have okra this year, even if I have to
hand water my whole front garden, which is what we're going to have to do. It's
going to be challenging, because it's not just watering these two raised beds.
Unfortunately, the whole front yard, with the exception of my little triangle over
there with the pine tree, and the section on the other side of the driveway is
also tied into this water. The bowling red okra is coming along,
and the scarlet runners have sprouted and grown four inches in a week. The
crimson red clover is finally blooming. I don't have many blooms, but the ones I do
have are very pretty. This is turning out to be a bit of a monster vine over here,
where I had one last year. This is all one tomato plant. I did not prune it, but
even though it's huge, I only have one tomato on here, and it's a pretty big one.
Eric has cleaned up the beans from the Greenstalk vertical garden. we're also
going to clean out this, because you can tell it's already getting mildew at the
bottom. So, we're going to take all this out, he's going to shake it through the
strainer, we're gonna refill it, and plant some arugula. So now he's working on the
bean bed back here. Got quite a few beans. Are most of these dry? I've got some
green beans in here. I think I'm just gonna let them all just dry.
There's a lot.
Eric, you're very popular on my videos. People like you on my videos.
You say "Hi" for me. Yes. I'm
I'm very happy, working on the beans. All the garden. I
I like it because it's ah, it's ah,
everything natural, no, no pesticides, no nothing, organic. Right. I like it.
Cut it and put it in the compost. Should we, because it's a lot of good
matter, but it's got a lot of bugs. I guess it's okay, yeah. It's good for the
soil. Yeah, for the compost, yes. Are you saving it for the compost? Yes. Good, good.
Here are the passionfruit he picked up, and we have three figs from the brown
turkey Fig tree.
Bugs love beans
I'm trying to keep the nozzle as close to the ground as I can get it. When your
garden is prone to mildew, overhead watering is a no-no.
Tis is actually gonna be the best drink my plants have had in a while.
Wrangling a hose pipe is my least favorite thing to do in the garden.
And the Greenstalk gardens are rebooted with my slow release, organic
fertilizer, coffee grounds, bonemeal, and planted with kale premier blend in
the lower two rows and the upper row is arugula. And the boysenberry got clipped
back. The raised bed got cleared of all the beans, and rebooted, but nothing
planted in it, yet. Yeah, they're beautiful. What do you want to do with it?
The giant climbing bamboo takes some maintenance, you have to know, because it
keeps growing, and it keeps putting out babies, pups.
He's digging out a few more in here
under the house ,or under the wall. Wait, where was that? Where did you get it, on
this side? Okay, yeah, he's talking about the, right, he's talking about the
retaining wall that they put in next door when they built the big house. I got
two, yes, it's four. 1, 2, 3, 4. Wow. Is this dead? Yes. Can you cut that one out? I don't want to
plant it, we have enough. In fact, it's touching the house, and it should not be
touching the house. This is fire season. Oh, boy, Eric, how are we gonna get all
that off the house? I cut it. Okay, let's do it today then.
I remember when I was working for Marlon Brando,
the lady, Joshua, love the bamboo,
coming from Russia,
to plant Mulholland Drive, Beverly Hills.
Well, he probably had a lot more space than I do. Oh, lotta room,
three acres. Oh, yeah.
Here comes Eric. he's gonna start whacking on the bamboo.
Yeah. Heavy duty. We save the big
bamboo, just in case I ever can find a spot to make another teepee trellis. Here
is my poor plum tree that is sandwiched in between the two houses, and gets very
little sunlight. Eric, we need to clip some of this from the neighbor, so that
the plum tree has a little bit more light. There, because that's on our side,
so seems to me that we can cut that. I mean, it's too late for this year, because
the plums have already fallen. But, yeah, let's take some of this out here. This
stuff all gets in with the plum tree.
This one. Okay.
There's one that's really tall. I almost think this big one needs to go. See, Eric,
this one, this one goes right up and it gets right on that wire there.
This is not on the list. No, this is
not on the list.
But this is, this is a fire hazard. So it's on the list now. Beautiful. Wow,
that's a lot of beans. That's everything for today. Okay, all right, good, thanks.
So, Eric is preparing the holes for my caper plant, and also we are moving a
marigold plant. It needs good water to start, and then it needs not so much
water. once it gets established. Jacq Davis, watch out. Nutrition? Yes, please.
Mm-hmm. I'm planning it right beside a ginger plant. I mean, at some point I'll
harvest that ginger and maybe divide the plant, so I just can't worry about it.
This is my sunniest corner, and nothing needs the Sun in my garden more than the
caper plants. Got any roots down there? There's one little one. It's got a nice
thick stem, though. That's what I wanted. This is an exciting day. Good level? I think so, yeah.
Oh, good, okay. I see it, and a nice thick stem. It's a great sunny day, but as you
can see, the corner right where they're going in has already dropped into the
shade and that's only going to increase as the season goes on. But at least
they'll have all morning up until 3 o'clock. This was salvaged from the
Greenstalk vertical garden. We've got a worm in there, great, mm-hmm. It's your close-up,
baby. Look what's right behind this marigold, the Moringa came back to life. I
think it's because it's getting more water, and I have another one here, and I
have another one over here. It's the most success I've had
with Moringa to date.
I just wanted to report on the progress of the goji berries. Look how many
berries I'm gonna have. This is the second year, so exciting. If you enjoyed
this video, maybe you'll enjoy these. I have a wonderful series from Ashland
that I'm rolling out now. I've got part 1 online and then we're going to roll into
some interesting interviews about gardening, and farming, and agriculture,
and challenges, in the Kentucky area, so you don't want to miss that. Thanks for
watching.
