How can you take off the pups growing up from the soil in containers
Thank you from California! I am an Australian native myself, and love growing grevilleas. My favorite is peaches and cream, and tomorrow I’m going to get after 2 of them that are too big. I was worried about hard pruning them bc I don’t want to loose them, but clearly it’s ok! Wish my neighbors hadn’t cut down their silk oak grevillea trees - loves those orange blooms in the spring. Thanks for your video!
Thank you for commenting 😊. Great to hear you have some plants from Aus in your garden
Thank you for the video. I saw Yucca in New Jersey.
I sell Yucca
Thanks for the video. I have some questions. The first is: Is simultaneous cross-pollination more efficient between two different verieties of avocado trees in the same field? Or can it also be done efficiently between trees of the same verieties? Which one is better? . Second: If it were better for simultaneous cross-pollination between two different verieties of avocado trees, which veriety would you prefer as the veriety that blooms simultaneously as a male and the Haas veriety as a female? Third: If we have a field with 100 trees totally, what is the appropriate number of male trees that correspond to the appropriate number of female trees or rather what is the ratio between them? What is the optimal distribution map for the distribution of those 100 trees in the field? Thank you very much in advance.
This is growing wild in my yard but I have a lot of edible plants growing wild
Thank you❤
Can you get a better picture of the new growth please. I'm never sure where exactly to cut back to. Thanks!
My yard is full of yuccas, if you don’t consistently prune them, they can get out of control fast and the roots are massive. My only problem with this video is that this guy is not wearing gardening gloves… ALWAYS wear gloves when pruning Yukkas, they are sharp as hell and can cut you deep!
Should you plant in shady area? Thanks
You keep saying. "trim it back before winter" but you never trim it back... I'm on year three and I'm not really getting any asparagus. YOur lesson doesn't say how to to trim it back...
Leading up to winter, it will die back. In other words, it will turn brown and appear dead. This is when you trim it back. Trim it back to ground level. I even know someone who uses a lawn mower to mow over the area - although I would not recommend this. So, when it dies off, trim the dead stems back to ground level. Assuming the crowns are healthy, as spring appears, you should have new asparagus spears emerge. I hope this makes it clearer for you.
ITS SIMPLE I LIKE IT
This is great..you Flamming GaLa
What location does asparagus prefer and how much sun or shade does it like?
Feed the plants when you stop picking. Not before! Energy don't go down to the crowns until the first ferns develop. So spring feeding is useless.
Steve Please help! What species are these yucca
Quick question I put my interior yukkas outside and they wilted and seem unhappy. Do they tolerate rain?
Well I learned absolutely nothing from your video.
Never pick the plant up by the trunk. Pick it up by the bag and a hand underneath. Pulling it out of the hole like that would get you sacked by most growers i know.
Omg what an excellent video
I asked my wife to cut out some white butterflies and she was very rude.
How do you encourage pups without cutting the top off?
As a novice, what does ´trim back the stems´mean in practice??
Thanks, my plants were well leveled. I had potted some marigold flowers in pots and it was time to transfer them to the ground. Hope they grow taller than they were in the pot
Do you have to add some water in the hole before planting?
@@ESP12345 i didn't . I just water after i put them in the ground. Its better to make the hole a bit deeper so that the top roots of the plant are not sticking out of the top
Very useful as I have a very old and big camelia which I need to tackle. Big thank you.
You are very welcome. Prune it to the shape you want and then be patient with it 😊
Hello sar namaskar from Nepal
Hello. I hope you enjoy my gardening channel :)
I always do same way But I cut bottom of planters so roots can go deeper into ground
A good suggestion for many plants. But please do keep in mind that some plants rely on the surface roots from which they absorb most of their nutrients.
One of the better videos on here explained in depth how to and why thumbs up from me
Thank you so much for you feedback :) I am very glad that you found it useful.
Why not just tie a short piece of white sheet (3"x 1") on end of a stick at different levels? The wind can blow this fabric and mimic the fluttering of another white butterfly defending its property.
I have not seen that idea, but worth a try. I would like to hear from yourself or others if this has worked. For me, I have actually reverted to using net as a barrier in out new vegetable garden. Nasturtiums are also a great plan to attract the moths away elsewhere :) This short video is an example: ua-cam.com/users/shortsJahN8w7zgWQ
Yukkas like being treated like crap I just chucked the limbs in the lawn near the house it loves it
Hahaha ...... I have seen similar with off-cuts that I have left lying around as well. They are very tough!
Now i found you❤❤❤
Hope you enjoy the channel
❤
Hope you enjoy the channel
I like the video, but it might better be labeled How to remove the ‘shaft’ on a garden tool. To me a handle is the grip. Shaft is the wooden section between implements and ‘handles’.
Thanks for the feedback and of course you are correct, but I believe most people refer to the shaft as the handle, particularly for those spades, shovels and forks that have a long “handle”. But I do definitely see your point 😊
Hi Steve. Just found your channel! Amazing. We just bought a small acreage and are excited to learn and your channel a great resource. A question I have is where do you buy your seeds ? In particular perennial leeks. I appreciate you may have your own seeds but can you point me in a website direction ? Really appreciate it. Thanks nicole
I am so sorry I have taken so long to reply! I am really glad you like the channel, although things have been a bit quiet lately :( With regards to seeds, I try to save quite a few myself, but when I buy them, I usually do so online through the Diggers Club: www.diggers.com.au/products/organic-seed-collection. They have a great organic range to choose from. The Perennial Leeks! A favourite of mine. Unfortunately I have never seen seeds for these. I sourced the originals from Jerry Coleby-Williams when he had an open day at his property - Sorry cant give you an easier option. I hope you enjoy your small acreage!
That was areal pruning. Mine has a maize of criss cross branches, thick and twisted and never flowers. She's getting a real pruning, no more tip pruning, just turns it into thatch.
I am sure you will be rewarded with some really amazing healthy regrowth :)
Thanks
The plant in the bucket to pack the soil and compost; brilliant. I just did 2 dwarf Japanese junipers on a slanted terrace. Easiest time ever.
So glad you found this useful - happy gardening :)
Liked to know if it worked
Sadly, it did not go well. the problem was not the fountain, but a predator moth and its caterpillars :(
Not so sure about how ripe your pumpkins really are, no seeds formed and the flesh is not as orange as it could be. In the subtropics our vines don't die but we still look to the vine as an indicator. We wait until the tendril close to the pumpkin has browned or died off before we harvest. Then sit pumpkin on the verandah to harden off for a couple of weeks. Another indicator with Kent or Jap pumpkin is when the skin looks less shiny, becomes dull as well as the pale blotches become less cream and more orange in colour. People constantly praise our delicious pumpkins, orange fragrant flesh full of flavor compared with store bought ones that are picked too early.
Thank you so much ❤
You are very welcome 😊
How big is that pot?also how will I know when to take the plant out of the pot?
From memory, I think the pot was about 8inches diameter. An indicator that a plant needs to be put in to the ground or in to a larger pot is the roots - when they become quite dense and coil around inside the pot is a good sign. Hope this helps 😊
Thanks sir. Your information presentation is clear and understandable. Thumbs up👍 from nagaland, india.
You are most welcome
What happens to the stump left behind?
It regrows. The idea is to prune it in such a way that growth in the style that you want is encouraged.
Loved your smiley video! What about asparagus in the tropics? I have 1 and 1/2 asparagus in my garden… we only really have two seasons here in Goa - wet and hot!! This means so far - year 3 it doesn’t die??? I get a few yellow fonds but that’s it! I get the most spindly spears - possibly knitting needle size. Help please!
Great tutorial!!
I bought a 4’ Avocado Tree last year on Etsy and they said it will be ready to fruit within 1-2 years and this year I have flowers but it is a little thicker than the one here in the video but should I take off the flowers? They look like a bunch of little balls at the moment, was already thinking of cutting them off so the tree can do its thing and get stronger another year but how do you know when to let the tree fruit and do its thing so we can enjoy the Avocados?
Thanks for this, interesting! What species of yucca is it?
Thank you. Short and sweet,to the point! I will prune my yucca just like him. Enjoyed this video.
I have three sunning on the balcony
👍😂
Curious if you are going to try this again this year 2024?
Love the channel....subscribed.
