Carrot Harvest - square foot garden– 86 Days Later!
In this video, I’m harvesting the carrots I seeded back on October 2nd - 86 days ago! I’ve already harvested a few for a stew, including some Parisian carrots, which are a fast-growing variety that typically matures in just 65-75 days. But today, I’m excited to show you the full harvest, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!
Despite planting in just 10 square feet of garden space, I ended up with a bountiful crop of beautiful, healthy carrots. Thanks to using a seeding square, I was able to space my carrots perfectly, about 2 inches apart. This made it possible to grow a total of 160 carrots along with a row of peas - all in a relatively small area.
Stay tuned for more gardening tips and updates, and don’t forget to like and subscribe for more garden harvests!

Shelling Pea Harvest - Best Homestead Crop?
Переглядів 120День тому
Peas are some of the easiest crops to grow in the garden, and they are very prolific. With only a single 6' row I can harvest enough peas to eat split pea soup with my family at least once or twice a week. There is enough to feed my kids steamed peas every single day. But if you have chickens, do not throw away the shells of the peas, as that makes great food for your chickens. It's high protei...
Texas Cream Pea Cover Crop - Is it any good?

Winter Garden Update 2024
Переглядів 9021 день тому
In Texas my favorite time to garden is now, in the winter. Our summers are extremely hot, and it's both hard on me and the plants. However many veggies grow all winter long here as we do not get many freezes, and even if we get a light frost, the temps rarely drop below 30. This means plants like carrots, lettuce, cabbage, peas and more cool weather crops do extremely well all winter long here....

    • @Escapingthedailygrind

      Why not look for a compost company close by like I got. Get 2-3 yards and spread it evenly over the clay. Then put the chips on top of that. That would probably break down quicker except those wood chips on top. But just plant through the chips and you probably could have good soil quickly. I would recommend a cover crop or two before planting main crops as they help kick start a lot of soil bio and help mix the compost into the clay

    You need to invest in a $10 dollar sprinkler. After I sow my garden, the sprinkler runs for 15-20 mins in the morning and then at night. You will have much greater sucsess at germination. If its super hot during the day, run the sprinkler at 12 noon to 2pm for another 15-20mins.👍 Also, beg, borrow, steal a rear tine tiller(check craigslist) I used a tiller to till the first 6"-8" then shoveled the dirt out and retilled down to 12 or so inches. I then did the compost fill and put the original 6"-8" back on top then tilled it all! Even carrots grow like mad! Another tip is to pile up leaves on top before you do anything and set it on fire! This kills all the weed seeds as well as add important potash to the soil. Then do the tilling bit. This way you dont lose all that growing time waiting for plastic to kill the weed seeds. Also, try making your own diy fertilizer as opposed to ANYTHING you buy. It has salts and eventually those salts will build up and no way to get it out! Just ask the Phoenicians after the Roman army salted their feilds!😂 Good luck man, you're on the right track!

    • @Escapingthedailygrind
      @Escapingthedailygrind 3 місяці тому

      Yeah it’s a pain that’s for sure! There are lots of nutrients in there, unlike sand, however they are locked up because microbes can’t break them down. They cause anaerobic conditions and plant roots have difficulty getting through. Adding a bit of sand or organic matter to the soil is about all that help. Clay soil wouldn’t be bad to deal with if you had heavy machinery to do your tilling for you, but to try and dig or till with hand tools, it becomes a very difficult job. But once tiled, just pile up organic matter with the form of compost or cover crops and it should over time improve. At least that’s the theory. I think it’s working though!

      @@Escapingthedailygrind A predator apron is approx. 2 ft of vinyl coated fencing attached to the bottom and draped flat outside and then buried or allowed to sink into the ground. There would be no way to get out with a proper apron on. However if your chicks can get out then a raccoon could definitely find his way in if determined enough. They are not nice creatures.

      Awesome! What are the temps there at the end of October? Usually for us, late October is the first time of the year we need to start wearing jackets at night. The temps will drop to 60’s at night. Sometimes even 50’s. But days are still usually 70’s. Of course during the summer here we are hitting 100+ every day with night temps usually not dropping below 85.

    Im surprised you got any sweet peppers in that heat. The big pepper plant wouldve produced well once it got cooler. Although im sure thats a long time away for your zone. And I recommend getting poblano seeds from store bought peppers. They have so many seeds you'll only have to buy them once lol. Thats how I started saving seed from poblanos. And I am at no risk of running out. And i dont know if theyre too hot for you, but habaneros taste good and would likely do well in your area.

    • @Escapingthedailygrind
      @Escapingthedailygrind 4 місяці тому

      @@DeathMaster657 yeah I probably should have gotten the seeds from a store bought your right. I ended up buying another packet when I saw the other one produced something wrong. This variety of sweet pepper is called Gypsy hybrid and it seems to grow well in this heat. As for habanero, I like spice but my family does not. I used to love very spicy foods, would order the spiciest plates at Indian restaurants, and would try to find the spiciest hot sauces. Now that I’m older, my body doesn’t agree with it as much anymore and I just can’t go super spicy anymore. Haha! But I do like the hot sauce I’m making, a little zing but it’s more about the flavor for me with it. Super good flavor.

      @@Escapingthedailygrind I'll have to look into the gypsy hybrid. I grow mostly hot peppers because they grow well for me and have good flavors. Anaheim is definitely top 5 in flavor department for me. I definitely recommend serranos, cayenne, and lemon drop peppers if you ever look for a step up. All are in the 30,000-50,000 scoville range if I recall, so manageable with tolerance development.
