I believe this might be the hard way also. However, they are usually the ones we learn from the most and the best. Perseverance is a virtue!

Thank you so much! Keep Praying! It is indeed heart breaking and there is a long journey ahead of them.

Thank you! I agree that the Lord did not cause the storm. I am praying for those affected and for His good to come from it for His glory.

@@Son-RiseFarm-su6nbJohn316 amen bro 🙏🏾

Thank you! 10 acres.

Thank you! Cheers!

Yes! It most certainly is cool. The machinery and what hydraulics can do is impressive!!

Thanks!

From what I've researched and studied I think pure compost is fine. Provided of course that it has fully composted and is no longer hot. The one possible exception that might need monitoring is beans since they set their nitrogen. That I guess I will learn for myself next year since that is what I'll be planting my bush beans into. I made quite a bit of leaf mulch compost last year and used it this year for a good many things without issue. Another factor could also be to know where the compost is coming from and whether or not it is organic. If chemicals are in the mixture, say through animal feed, then that definitely could be a problem. And my final thought is that if I used my soil to mix in I would probably just be introducing weed seeds and have more of the same problem in that area. I hope some of this "long winded" answer helps. Thanks for watching!!

@@Son-RiseFarm-su6nbJohn316 Thanks, wishing you the best on your project.

Thanks, you too! We are looking to the future and it is bright!

You are correct, fall can never come soon enough. Fall is probably my favorite planting season just because of the weather. i am glad to hear that most of your plants survived the heat wave. It was definitely brutal! You might get away with some tomatoes if those are determinate plants. Even most hybrid determinate tomatoes take at least 60 days and they will quickly die if frost gets to them. I wish you well and for an awesome harvest. Bare in mind that broccoli plants can take some frost but the heads far less so. Hope it all turns out well. I will look forward to your update to see how it goes. Thank you for the comment and for watching the video!

It is, but all will be fine and we just keep pressing on.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks very much for watching!

Thank you very much!! We appreciate it! It is definitely coming back together back it will take some time for things to grow.

Thank you! Cheers!

I hope so too! I am glad to hear that it did not affect you. I hope all of your garden does well and that you have an abundant harvest!! Thank you for watching and commenting! It is drying out, but we are expecting more rain so who knows what will happen.

Thank you. And yes, we will!

Thank you. Both! I will get my raised beds built and the rest I will try and do raised rows for such as tomatoes, bell peppers and okra. Yes, we were hit hard but thankfully no damage other than the garden. That is frustrating but very recoverable. I am aware of a few farms in my area that lost quite literally everything and will probably take them a year or more to recover fully. Through it all I still feel blessed and hopeful.

@@Son-RiseFarm-su6nbJohn316 Live, learn, and make the necessary changes. I can tell you'll be better year after year. I have literally cried at how weather and critters have devastated me. I mean, not the balling type of crying. I'm a guy after all. :O)

@C3Voyage lol. Crying is refreshing and renewing. I feel a little sad and perhaps some frustration, but I feel heartbroken for those farmers who lost everything. House, equipment, crops, animals and more. And you are so right. I will definitely have a much better farm after all of this.

Thank you very much! I am happy to hear that you are excited about gardening / farming. It's not all fun or peaches & cream, but overall it is very rewarding and peaceful. I have 6 plots that are all roughly 40' wide by 50' long. The rest of my market garden will be consumed with 25+ raised beds. My rows are 50' long and I use mostly 3' on center spacing. This is quite tight on tomatoes, so I may change that to 4' on center next year...still thinking it over. Other root style crops will eventually be in my raised beds. However, the rows are often 12" or 1' apart. I got my initial drip tape set up and tape from HossTools.com. However, I just ordered a roll of 4" drip tape from Dripworks.com. Hoss does not carry or sell a roll of 4" emitter spacing which is much better for the smaller and tighter spaced crops such as onions, carrot, beets, radishes; etc. Hopefully this helps you and thank you again for watching and the comment / questions. I Pray you have great success in your gardening efforts!!

@@Son-RiseFarm-su6nbJohn316 ok thanks for the response I will most definitely check them out And wow 6 plots I love it and nice size that’s actually the size of two of my plots by which I’m still in the process of clearing off another 11/2 acre so I look to have just as many by next year lord willing Yessir it definitely helped a whole lot thanks and thanks for the prayers I pray for you all likewise the same

Much appreciated. I look forward to hearing about your growth and successes as time unfolds!

When I get chickens, hopefully later this year, that would be a great idea. Thanks.

That's cool! I wish I had birds that would do that around my place. I love sitting outside early in the morning with my coffee also, but I don't get that kind of show. Thanks for watching and happy gardening!!

@@Son-RiseFarm-su6nbJohn316 The first time I saw a cardinal "attack" a tomato plant, I was concerned. But when I saw what it had in its beak, I was like "You go!" Now that I know what they are up to, I can totally appreciate watching them hop along the trellis looking for snacks.

Awesome!

Good idea. Thanks for the comment.

I understand and agree. They can do a lot of damage if not caught for a couple of days. Hopefully your pepper plant will recover.

Yes they do.

Thanks! That is good confirmation and perhaps I will go ahead and give it a try myself.

Yep!

I'll try that again, but it didn't totally prevent them on my last tomatoes that did have marigolds around them. Thanks for the suggestion. I appreciate it!

Sounds awesome! I hope they are doing well for you! How many do you have in a "mini" farm?

Thank you so very much!! I really appreciate the compliments and kind words. It has definitely been a bit of a crazy journey with the market gardening, but well worth it even through the struggles. Being a part of watching things grow and eating our own food is just a tremendous blessing. It's cool that the similarities in your journey and ours is so close. Please feel free to share more of your experiences. I love hearing about others successes and even sometimes failures. We truly do learn better from the failures, but I still don't like them. And thanks for appreciating the fact I don't necessarily conform to the "norms". I like to learn and experiment and if the norm ends up being the better way then sobeit. Glad y'all found some wood chips. They are very useful, especially against weeds. Weeds STINK!! Prayers for you and your family also!! May God bless your efforts and grant you a bountiful harvests! Thanks again!!

No problem at all and yea with me not being home and on the road can be a little frustrating at times but I agree it’s definitely worth it all Most definitely will do and I believe that as well Thanks much for the prayers

You are very welcome!

Thank you very much!! I really appreciate the "sub" and kind words. I also grow Supersweet 100's and yes, they are great. Sounds like you have an amazing raised bed / grow bag garden going. I pray that it continually does well for you!! Here is one thought to consider that may help you with that type of gardening. You might want to check out a bush style green bean. I have used Green Blaze, but right now I am using a variety called "Contender". I am having very good success with them. The bushes only get about 18" tall and produce quite a bit for 2-3 rounds depending on weather. They don't produce totally like the pole beans based on a plant by plant comparison, but you can grow more closely together to make up some of the difference and it saves trellising. Anyway, just a thought. Thanks again and Happy Gardening!!

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching and the kind compliment!

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and the comment!!

Yes, it is the first one by the parking lot. There is another pedestrian entrance on the opposite street, but I feel we out in the best spot too. My apologies, somehow I did not get the notification of this comment. UA-cam has done that a few times. Not sure why. Thank you for commenting and watching!

Thank you very much!! Sounds amazing! Very nice grocery bill indeed. We are trying to get there as well. It is one of our goals to get a large orchard going of many fruit trees and bushes. Praying that it goes well for your starts, plantings and harvests!! Any recommendation on the citrus trees? What size did you start with and how long did they take?

Ive been collecting them for about 5 yrs but...when I used to see em on sale at the local grocery for $25 like regular apple fig peach pear but I would order my specialty trees online catching good sales!...last yr was my 1st yr getting fruit on my satsuma tree and key lime...Madison citrus growers but IDK if they ship to Florida!

I'll check them out. Thanks. I am in Walterboro, SC down in the Lowcountry.

I reuse it as much as possible. When I put it back down each time I test it first for any defect or damage to make sure. Thanks for your comment and for watching! My apologies for taking so long to respond.

You're welcome. Thanks for commenting. I pray that you and your parents have a blessed garden and harvest. And I agree, saving money and eating healthier fresh produce is a wonderful thing.

@@Son-RiseFarm-su6nbJohn316 Thanks that means a lot.

I am glad and thankful if anything helped you!! Good luck.

You are so welcome!

Sorry to hear that. It totally stinks to lose any plants / crops. I haven't had to deal with that specific pest . However, look into Spinosad or Bug Buster 2. I hope that you are able to get them under control. Let me know if this info helps and if you have anything else that I might be able to help with. I am not sure of how big an area or techniques that you are using for growing, however, I really recommend drip tape for irrigation. For me personally and how I grow and transplant most things it has really helped me. I look forward to hearing your updates and successes.

Sounds great. Your growing season is even longer which is awesome. And you are correct; overwintered carrots are excellent. Thank you for commenting. I really appreciate it and hope you have a wonderful harvest and an abundance of produce!!!

Hilling them definitely won't hurt them. It is not completely necessary either. They are a determinate type and hilling them won't grow any more potatoes. However, there are potential benefits from hilling them. Plant stabilization, keeping any potatoes from being exposed to the sun and turning green and being helpful in weed suppression. Thank you for commenting and I hope this helps! Hope you have a great harvest!!

@@Son-RiseFarm-su6nbJohn316 I just put them in today and with a little research and some tips from your page I think I’m going to only heal them. Maybe one good time I put about a foot of soil in there just to be safe and amended it really well so I think they’ll do good. I’m using a trash bag as a project so we’ll see! I have some fingerlings coming and some russets and something going on in a Yukon gold from a few months ago so I can’t wait to see if there’s anything in there but I feel like I’ve learned more over the past few months so I’m really hoping to get a good harvest in the next couple months! Fingerlings only take about 2 to 2 1/2 months I’m excited to see what they look like little fingers lol

@@Pinkpumpkingardener Sounds good! I am excited for you!

Thanks for sharing! I agree that the fall / winter months are a more enjoyable time to farm. I too will be planting thousands of plants. Probably 3,000 onions alone...at least that is the plan if I can get all of the prep work done by November. That is indeed hot. Yesterday it was 99 with 95% humidity which made it feel like around 110. YUK! It is very hard to work in the garden during mid afternoon around here. I am glad to hear of what sounds like a great successful garden all on 1 acre. I know with the right planning and infrastructure that a lot of produce can be grown in a relatively small area. I look forward to hearing more about your garden highlights!!

Good stuff and a great thought through the fall / winter months. Our market runs through December, so I will keep those ideas in mind.

Outstanding!!! Prayers that will continue!
