    I'm trying something that seems to be working so far. I have planted 66 winter squash & 4 summer squash that I started from seed, planted May 15-30 in zone 7 & I have lots of fruit on them, plants & leaves are massive & healthy. I pile & keep straw on their bases to cover them daily, I trellis 90% of them, I plant smelly flowers near them, and check them several times a day for bugs. 1 plant died i think from the cucumber beetle & 2 others showed the "sawdust" telltail sign which I immediately coated heavily with Diatomaceous earth powder n then covered with straw. The plants are now recovered & flourishing. I also water with Miracle Gro to get them established, for recovery and then organic fertilizer occassionally. I bought BT n needles but so far haven't had to use them. And, I cut off many leaves to make hole "openings" for the bees to pollinate and boy did they come!! I am growing these squashes: Hubbard, Spagetti, Sweet Meat, Long Island Cheese Pumpkin, Jaradale Pumpkin, Buttercup, Butternut, Cushaw, Georgia Candy Roaster, Zucchini & Yellow Squash.

      Oh no! I would give it a chance to produce side shoots. If it’s a bush type I’m not sure what to expect, but it depends on how much broke off. If it’s a vining type I would think that it would push out more vines. A drench of liquid fertilizer and/or seaweed will help. Best wishes!✨

    I hear you about the aphids and I've been trying to take it easy on soaping them. I have a new menace this year: spider mites on the the tomatoes and beans. Do you use the same philosophy? Thanks in advance. BTW - love, love, love your channel. I've been doing great growing again this year in CenTex thanks to your advice.

    • @newgardenroad
      @newgardenroad 19 годин тому

      Hey! Thank you so much 🙏🏼✨ Spider mites are a true menace. They proliferate in hot & dry conditions when plants are stressed. My philosophy with them is similar, but there is often a tipping point when I decide to pull plants that are affected by them. Support overall wellness, apply seaweed to foliage weekly, mulch, water deeply, and I do believe that shade cloth is essential throughout Texas summers. That said, if by beans you’re referring to snap or green beans, they really don’t last through June in my experience. Tomatoes if well established and relatively healthy can be pruned hard by two-thirds as we approach the end of the month. That could eliminate a lot of spider mites and set you up for a fall harvest. Also, we can plant both of those crops again in the next couple of weeks for fall production. Not gonna be easy though! I hope this helps!

    • @Scaryladyvideos
      @Scaryladyvideos 8 годин тому

      @@newgardenroad It helped a lot! My plan for this year was to just plant new cherry tomatoes July 1 (just did) instead of 2/3 cutting back Spring's tomatoes. So I cut many leaves off of the spring tomatoes and just letting them ripen the fruit they have on them. It seams I'm right on track with what you suggested. The beans are Southern Peas and Lima Beans so I'm gutting it out with the mites. They look to be subsiding and not spreading to more plants. It is tough to let them munch away on my leaves but I really like your plan of being more hands off and let nature do its thing. Spraying soap/Neem is difficult because there are so many leaf surfaces. Shade cloth has been a problem solver! I'm having huge crops and plants are living longer and thriving. Plus, I like being in a cooler garden too! I have it above and the southwest corner.

    as a person from India, we have some cultivars like Wiagaon(which has 8%-10% Curcumin) and Lakadong (which can have 12% Curcumin) which have the highest curcuminoid contents, i guess, the minerals in the soil add to the polyphenols in the turmeric we grow. But the supplement industry only focuses on curcumin, whereas there are many related compounds that work synergistically to the one compound that has become the hype. The same goes for Ashwaganda.

    Hi, I've got a lemon tree which I grew up from seed many years ago. It's in my balcony, facing north in a pot with a diameter of 40cm. I live in Rome, Italy and during winter the temperatures never fall down below 0°C. This year for example the minimum winter temperature was 5°C. However I covered it up in tnt clothes and very very sparingly watered it, say one shallow sip every month, and never fertilized it for the fear of applaying too much fertilizer. To cut a long story short in the springtime the tree kept loosing almost all its green leaves that were overwintered but the leaves that remained on the trees were perfect. Just last week I soaked all the rootball with some nutrients (a liquid citrus fertilizer plus some mychorrizae). Next day all the remaining leaves were chlorotic. For fearing of having done damage I took the tree out fo the pot but the roots were not rotten, I mean some were but say 10%. I repotted it in new container with a fresh potting mix (4:1 potting mix:compost). Inoticed that the new growth is deep green and perfect. now the question: the fact that I never fertilized this tree during winter and springtime and watered it very shallowly can be the cause of what's the tree is showing now to me?

    A great tip I learned about growing sweet potatoes was to let a potato sprout on the counter. When the sprouts are between three and 4 inches long, pluck them off of the potato, trying to keep the little plug at the end of the sprout (where it connects to the potato). Place the sprouts and water and allow them to grow roots for 2 to 3 weeks and until this sprouts are between six and 8 inches long. Plant these sprouts 4-5 inches deep. These will be much more successful than cuttings as far as producing potatoes…
