You can always add some pomegranate molasses to compensate for some of the bitterness. It has the perfect sugar to acidic flavor to balance out any bitterness - just drizzle it on top and eat with pita chips or whatever.

Amused by your "plant cages". My mom got me a bunch of them for when I plant bulbs because we have a ton of very curious chipmunks in the neighborhood and they've dug up a bunch right after planting because they apparently think I'm a big squirrel hiding food. Well, I decided to remove the mesh trash cans from my garlic plantings after two weeks and the dang chipmunks STILL had a digging spree. Just replanted and set up bird netting, which does work to keep the cute little jerks out of things.
Haha sounds like you have some ridiculous pests on your hand. I have heard that they don't like fabric like material with holes in it so maybe they just hate the feeling and decided to leave you alone!
Use a T--Post Puller to pull out your tall studded T-Posts, and a T-Post driver to pound them into the ground. Makes the job so much easier when you're using lots of T-Posts.
I'm only growing shelling peas this year. I am a glutton for extra work - shelling peas and growing favas which you have to take out of the pod and I remove the 'skin' on each bean. This activity is good for watching videos on gardening or cooking.🤣
Sitting here mid spring watching this video and planning iut how to spend my long weekend Monday in the garden ❤ thanks for all the advice and options going forward 🎉
Chinquapin Community Gardeners! Shout out your appreciation for Jacques! (Seriously, I’m wondering how many of my fellow gardeners love you as much as I do!)
Hey Jacques, seeing the tomato plant roots forming only at the surface level makes me think that they may benefit from a gradual hilling process instead of the usual initial deep burial. I’d still bury them relatively deep but just fill the hole in gradually to try to get root growth on as much area of the stem as possible.
It's been awhile, but I was wondering how the native garden is progressing. As someone in zone 10 too, I'm curious to see if our native plants can look healthy, vibrant, and lush.
Yeah the powdery mildew seems to be systemic in kale plants (and pretty much everything). Once they get it, they have it. I was surprised a bunch of my kale got it this year in Western Wa. But it was planted in early spring and I let it get a bit full of dead leaves this summer, so the air circulation was really poor and dampness was trapped. There always seems to be a bunch of whiteflies when the PM shows up.
Jacque i had the same problem w raccoons. I transplanted my fall crops into my raised bed only to come out and see all of them ravaged. It broke my heart. I bought an ultrasonic animal repellant from amazon and am hoping it will keep them away. Thanks for this great video.
We have ongoing 🦝 issues. We tried the ultrasonic deterrent. All of the raccoon solutions seemed to work for a short time, then the raccoons adjust. The only effective solution is a physical barrier. We use hardware cloth in a hoop over the bed, with stakes at the end to stop the raccoons getting in. It's worse in fall/winter for us (zone 7b, Vancouver BC Canada, rare freezes. I think the raccoons have more abundant food during the summer). The raccoons seem to be digging for grubs in the soil.
Currently doing one bed at a time in my garden. I have removed everything from the bed, supplemented the soil with amendments, and planted seeds. I like to companion plant so it is fun seeing how many things I can fit into one bed. I am also re-mulching around each bed for weed control. My first bed is done, planted peas, carrots, radishes, mizuna, lettuce, beets, and rutabaga. I have 12 beds so a lot left to do! Also planting a lot in ground this year, and doing permaculture guilds around the fruit trees. I don't think I will ever be actually "done"!
That is the most efficient way to go about it while making sure you fully get that bed ready for the next planting! I am thinking of building some permaculture guilds around my fruit trees as well
Thank you for the great video, Jacques! QUESTION: during your eggplant tour, you mentioned "I don't see any spider mite damage", but is it expected for eggplants to get spider mites as he plant matures? I have a 1 year old eggplant plant that is now officially a huuuge tree that produces an average of 10 eggplants a day 🙏🍆 But I started to see spider mites recently, so your comment resonated with me since I'm hoping the overachiever will live with me for years to come (I live in zone 12b). Thank you, Jacques!
I overpruned my habanero plant last year not realizing it’s meant to be a tall plant .. I’m gonna hold back this year not overdue it maybe just thin out some leaves and buds
Yes it was, had about 4 hauls like that from them but now its in the low 50s at night and they aren't producing anymore, oh well time for more brassicas!
About your Jamaican Roselle plant, it is NOT looking like it should, unless you just recently planted it. If you planted it in spring, it should have a 4-6" thick trunk by now and be about 6' wide and tall with dozens more branches. Your calyxes need to be 1-2“ in size when ripe.
@@jacquesinthegardenah, ok. I'm in the deep south, where it takes about 9 months to maturity. Didn't make it last year, froze too early. My calyxes are the same size as yours though, after 8 months.
I tried in ground worm buckets and the worms did improve the soil but it did bring in a lot of raccoons, skunks, and moles who had a field day digging up the worms 😞
Which mustard are you using as overwintering ground cover? Thanks! I’m in Monterey, apparently zone 10b but not nearly as much heat as San Diego. Much fog and sea breezes….
I'm also having problems with raccoons. The plants with cages like yours survived. I also have some larger cages that the raccoons left alone. I think they're after worms that were in the compost I put on some raised beds. Any other ideas besides cages that will deter the rascals?
On the observations about roots at soil level and original buried depth... if applied to the stem buried sideways method, keeping the stem very near the surface maybe with just a thick mulch. Or would something like topping give you new root layers at each round? Amount of time each topping would take to generate roots?
We found that surface burial of the stem sideways produced tons of roots all along the stem near the upper soil surface where buried. Not sure if topping would generate roots or just encourage more top growth.
@@jacquesinthegarden sorry I meant hilling not topping, like with potatoes. You would probably need a long growing season to get multiple layers effectively.
@@CWorgen5732 in the example he shows around 12:00 it has a relatively flat 2-3 inches of root development at "soil level" plus the existing root mass that was buried much deeper, and a long bare stretch in between the two. repeated hilling to establish multiple planes of this root development. are those thicker roots a benefit? if a plant will create new ones at that "soil level" would they be a benefit deeper down? it would likely need anywhere from 2-6 weeks in between layers to give time to start the larger roots and plants already kind of utilize the entire contents of a pot by fine feeder roots anyways. the plant might also put more energy into root mass instead of fruit. would likely take a very long season to show benefit somewhat like a vegetative/flowering cycle to bulk up the plant before fruit production. also the horizontal stem (trench) method, i meant keeping the entirety of the stem in that goldilocks "soil level" zone, it would leave it barely buried and would likely need a hilling of its own once established or a thick mulch layer. this is something i might try on a couple of my tomato plants next year, the hilling i wont as my growing season is fairly short.
@@mustardtiger9265 Ah, thank you for the clarification. I think it has been tried, and it's a benefit if your soil is generally colder, but it does take them some time to recover from the stress of planting. A good trade-off if you have a cover for the colder nights, maybe.
Thanks for another informative video . Nice harvest of eggplant 🍆 and beans . “Planted in the Garden” on UA-cam. He makes great cages for raised beds to keep his plants safe. I use chicken wire in all my containers to keep squirrels 🐿️ digging up my plants to store acorns. Can’t imagine dealing with raccoons 🦝 or moles !
Raccoons! Such a nuisance. They only harass certain beds in my garden. I put a 4x8 wooden trellis flat over my garlic bed, and hardware cloth (why is wire called cloth?) over others.

And I guess it's a sign it's time to get nematodes again.
You're still making the mistake of thinking compost builds soil. It doesn't. Mulch and plants build soil. Compost just feeds the plants (at least mature compost). Just, if the compost is half done, with many twigs, leaves, and kitchen scraps still intact it will feed the soil, but that's not what you usually use. Also, a single species cover crop is very weak. If you want a really effective cover crops you need 4 families of plants. In winter, you can use one cereal (wheat, rye, oat...), one legume (vetch, fava bean, winter pea...), phacelia and one brassica (mustard, rape, daikon...).
A lot of the compost I use is from my own bin or from a local place that mixes in a lot of woody material and I often use it before it is fully composted. For this cover crop I specifically chose one exact typed of mustard for a particular purpose. The Pacific Gold Mighty Mustard which is shown to greatly reduce root knot nematode populations. It has to be grown to flower and immediately incorporated into the top soil and watered in for it to be effective so I couldn't really mix in another species.
@@jacquesinthegarden By having this pest by pest or disease by disease approach you never solve anything, really. A monoculture cover crop is weak. It doesn't improve your soil quick enough .Pests attack weak plants, and weak plants (at least weak veggies) grow on soil that isn't biologically rich enough. And for that you either need massive cover crops or large amounts of compost + mulch. You can do both like I do, but I have plenty of space since I take care of plantations in a community garden. I'm always amazed that you guys at epic xxx or your garden don't have that figured out yet, you could simply bring in huge amounts of compost and mulch, like 10 inches of it, and that would be it. In a couple of years your soils would be between 5 and 10% organic matter content, full of life, and you wouldn't have pest issues anymore. Nematodes are not that common in gardens, you really need to have a soil that's been disturbed way too often, either by big excavation work (for building a house for example) or years of heavy tilling... By having a little bit of home made compost and a monoculture cover crop it's gonna take you a decade to solve this... Massive amounts of mulch/compost would solve it much more quickly.
@@sneezingbananas pretty rude to tell me to stop watching the channel and that gardening isn’t for me just because I have a phobia of spiders. I subscribe to a lot of gardening channels and it’s never come up in any of them until now because the focus is typically on the plants themselves. I also have multiple gardens and it hasn’t been an issue for me in my own garden either.
Roast the old eggplants and take off the skins, blend the rest with garlic spices and oil for Baba ghanoush, like hummus dip. Very good!
Never thought to try with older eggplant. I would assume it would become bitter but maybe it is overstated!
You can always add some pomegranate molasses to compensate for some of the bitterness. It has the perfect sugar to acidic flavor to balance out any bitterness - just drizzle it on top and eat with pita chips or whatever.
Thanks for relocating the caterpillar! I find some pride in a diversely-insected garden myself :)
Pinch that bug@
I’m pretty sure it was a type of moth, I also found pink caterpillars
I tried that Datil pepper… it was SO HOT. My husband and I were pooping fire for days. I’m gonna go back to my sweet peppers next year lmao
🎉 You are my favorite gardener!!! 🎉

Ever think of making a video of how much plastic we use in gardening. Hoses, pots, trellis, tags, watering cans, drip irrigation, buckets,bags, tools. I only recently realized how much plastic is making its way into gardening.
It is something I think about....I may collect my thoughts on it over the year and try to come up with a coherent stance and exposition on it.
I have been going to thrift stores to look for items on my “wish list” I feel very excited when I find what I want at a drastically reduced price!

Green beans are incredible producers, and nearly problem free. A must grow 🙌
They really are, especially in raised beds they seem to thrive

I'm only growing shelling peas this year. I am a glutton for extra work - shelling peas and growing favas which you have to take out of the pod and I remove the 'skin' on each bean. This activity is good for watching videos on gardening or cooking.🤣
Fava peeling is for real only something a glutton for hard work would be willing to except haha!
Thx for showing how to overwinter pepper plants. I want to save my jalapeños and shishitos for next season.
It gives you a few months of head start once your season truly begins!
You are the G.O.A.T of gardening for me😊
Thank you!
You might try sauteing your radicchio: that's supposed to reduce the bitterness. A little balsamic on top and you're good. 💚
Sounds like a great way to test it out!

Oh yeah the jungle is thriving, j got a few hoppers in my green beans as well

You can overwinter eggplant just like peppers

Yeah the white fly does seem to co-mingle with the powdery mildew specifically on the greens like kale!
Harvest Roselle when the seed is bulging out of the calyx. Those should bloom then the calyx will swell.
