I’m always impressed with your ingenuity. You have a gift for seeing the big picture and thus using your garden spots to accomplish multiple goals at the same time. Keep it up. The spot you have for a nursery is so idea with the shade. I’m jealous
I love how she says, "I did a lot of watering, not a whole lot of watering". Such consideration for accuracy and how things might be interpreted! Love these. What a happy discovery!
just happened upon your video.... i think i am in love.... :) but on a serious note. i have the same enthusiasm with my garden as you do. my first memories of gardening were when i was about 5 or 6 years old. i would take a spoon from my moms kitchen and to to the yard and move a week from one end of the yard to the other. i thought that was like the best thing. as i grew older around 8. I would have my little garden and my mom would serve the tomatoes i grew at dinner time. years later, im still an avid gardener , and when i have a rough day in my dental practice, after work i go home and pull weeds... it is like a halcyon for my soul. :) keep up the enthusiasm............................. louis.
Thanks, Veronica, for another very informative video. I always look forward to them. I'm sure the heat there is something you're having to deal with a lot. I'm in Florida, and my garden is struggling with the high heat and lack of rain.
Veronica I adore you. Your energy is infective and you make me laugh with your vernacular. Your trenching idea is gold. You should make your farm/garden a holiday destination. A week working with you would be better than weeks on a cruise. Oh and restaurants throw out lots of 5 gallon drums they buy cooking oil in. I have about 30 I convert into potting and water containers.
Haha I'll consider it. And Good to know on the oil drums! The place my dad works at uses them for idk what (I've asked for all food grade containers lol) but I'll keep an eye out. 🙂
Veronica,,, they sell on / off valves for those to put in front of the coupler so you don't have to squeeze the hose to stop the water. I use them in my garden to shut down my sprinkler before moving it. About $4 or $5 at Lowes in the hose isle in garden dept.
I know you are not here now but, if you are in the same situation with the hose and quick connect again, I suggest you put an on/off valve between the hose and connector. They are available at hardware stores that the garden hose can attach to.
Texas in August! Once experienced never forgotten! You can feel the heat in this video...and the humidity. Well done Veronica...its looking great and so innovative!
Nice set up it's very creative! My problem with those spinning sprinklers though is that I end up burning the leaves of my plants because of the water getting on them and the hot sun beating down on them. But man that bottle filler thing is great though I'm gonna have to make one of those!! Thank you for the great advice and keep up the videos they're very informative and helpful.
Loving your channel. If you are wanting to capture more of the water into the pots perhaps a few shields made from empty milk cartons or something similar that catch the overspray and channel it down into the pots. This could work for the pots that get less water due to the pattern of the sprayers.
@@VeronicaFlores That's good to know actually, rather encouraging :). So essentially do a bunch and play the odds. I've been doing a little and biting my nails over every loss.
Gotta love those sour cream tubs & wine bottles. My "nursery" is full of Costco mushroom tubs for starting veggie seedlings, and sheet cake lids for starting lettuces away from slugs (My Dad is Mr. Hospitality at his church, so many cakes...) I put them near the pretty painted pots so the eye lands on those instead. I tried the wine bottle thing and it's working great, I have a row of large pots that are just 4 feet out of reach of a very long hose, so my wine bottles don't have to travel far, but they save so much agony and I think of you every time I fill them. Woo hoo!
I wish you success in your social and professional life. Thank you very much for your valuable information and creativity in agriculture. Your brother is from Saudi Arabia ..
Very cool set up. I've def learned a lot from you over the past year and a half. Keep it coming! Just finished my own drip set up to make life easier. Thankfully, the previous owners of this property left a bunch of brand new drip stuff here for me to use. Safe travels and have a great time!
@@mppp1877 I have soaker hose is porous and the water oozes out, like a sponge. I have standard diameter but they do sell same type but smaller diameter in drip irrigation section. You can just lay across top of pots. wiki.ezvid.com/best-soaker-hoses
I did, but the way I have this setup, it made more sense to keep the surface evenly moist across the entire area (as well as foliage), rather than just a 2-3" wide line across the center of each pot with dry edges and soggy roots below. Really want to keep feeder roots as well developed as possible for the sake of my soil type- YMMV depending on your goals, climate, and soil type.
Just found you and have been watching all your videos. I love your enthusiasm and the knowledge you have developed for something you love to do. Suggestion: put a ball valve on the end of your hose, then screw on the quick connect. You'll get fewer unintentional showers but I'm guessing you don't mind so much when it's August in Texas.
Veronica Your can purchase a stop valve for your quick connect that will allow you turn off the water at the hose end and no longer need to crimp the hose
Yes irrigation is important. We can't spend the rest of our lives watering by hand plus what if we are away for a while? I notice the nursery near me uses a black hose with little tubes coming out of it and buried in the plant pots. Can you go over how that stuff works?
Love the videos. I used to have a quick-connect/disconnect system, and it had one pre-connect portion that had a lever/dial you could spin to turn off the water flow. That way you could change ends without having to crimp the hose. Each brand/line is different. Your brand may have an add-on accessory kit to use with your current system.
Love your presentation. Do you have no mosquitoes there? I have to cover up head to toe, no matter how hot. I don't like repellent when I can avoid it.
I like the idea of sending the water right to the roots which avoids a lot of evaporation and way less water to make plants flourish. I am going to ask the local nursery how they do it. They never seem to have an under watered plant.
I think the shade helps a lot. I just started experimenting it roofed pathways near my grows and it sure helps with the heat. Nice tall trees also give off great shade.
I need to start a nursery, I’m always turning down plants because I don’t have a place in mind to put them but a nursery seems like just the ticket. Does it need to be heavily shaded like yours?
No, though it makes it way easier to keep things alive if you live in a hot climate! A little shade helps, but full shade I don't think I'd recommend. I like this spot bc I can move plants around to more sun or shade depending on what they need. Just a nice corner with access to water is pretty much all you need though. 🙂
soooo lucky with that cool climate. My place is more like desert. We make it work though. For your remote watering >> why not get a backpack and put a giant bag in it with a hose coming out siphon- backpack mega-camel-pack ... Easier to holster a backpack than to carry a crate in front zee arms....
Thanks for sharing your learning and knowledge in such a positive and entertaining manner. We tried the glass coke bottle, on watermelon and cantaloupe plants, that were looking rough and got positive results in less than five min. We were testing locations for various plants and the bottles are proving helpful for the plants needing more water, but that are planted in high sun locations 8-12h/day. Next year a change in location for them or some kind of cover crop to give them some shade. Finally got to adding a few inches of wood chips and that should help for the rest of this summer. Best of luck with your enterprise this year and can't wait for the next video. Ever thought of a guest, maybe someone like James Pirgioni? It would be interesting to hear what would come up in an open conversation compared to the videos you guys put out.
Great to hear! I'm really getting into the wine bottles (or liquor bottles) so I don't have to refill as often. Re: convos with other UA-cam growers, I think it could be interesting! I'm looking more into how to best approach the problems we need to solve rather than getting into "the best" ways to do things. But I'm open to it. 🙂
@@VeronicaFlores Thanks for the reply and new winter videos. Overall we did fairly well we feel for our first season. Our peppers did particularly well by implementing your pruning tech. and the water bottles.
Hi Veronica, great video as usual. Is there a reason you're not inoculating that area with the myclium you grew in the forested area then prepped a month ago? Have fun at the conference! Come back and teach us what you learned!!!
spray cover depends on what sprayer you choose and water pressure, many different spray heads to choose from. generally speaking one similar to what Veronica is using will cover 3 feet ( 90cm ). you can get half circle cover ones, 1/4 circle ones , mist emitters, taps, and even drippers. just make sure you put a filter before the sprayers so it doesn"t block up, and i put a tap at the end of the line and open it up now and then to flush out ( most people just put an end stop).
In this space yes, for the most part. I run them about 20 minutes daily in the summer, check the soil moisture levels frequently, and adjust my watering schedule as necessary.
i wrote this as an answer for someone, and decided to put it here for everyone to see, how far can those sprayers reach? A: spray cover depends on what sprayer you choose, height off the ground and water pressure, many different spray heads to choose from. generally speaking one similar to what Veronica is using will cover 3 feet ( 90cm ). you can get half circle cover ones, 1/4 circle ones , mist emitters, taps, and even drippers. just make sure you put a filter before the sprayers so it doesn"t block up, and i put a tap at the end of the line and open it up now and then to flush out ( most people just put an end stop).
Great additions! The ones I have are rated 4-6 feet diameter, so I did ~3' spacing to achieve ample overlap. Agreed on the in-line filter for sure, esp if you're on well (the one I want is in the mail as the ones at Lowe's were cheap and overpriced for what you get.)
@@VeronicaFlores I put mine on the roof of a bird -proof cage with spinners and misting heads, the upside is it's like rain and they don't get stopped in any direction by leaves, the downside is some water gets wasted on ground outside where i can't grow veg cos of the wild birds.
lol at the quick disconnects. A ball valve right before the connector would help, though it looks like that's part of the fun. :-p Have a good time at the conference.
Thanks for the vid. I tried to grow some peaches and plums a year ago. But I came to find out that they prefer a freeze over or 2x. We learn from our trials and experiences. Nice looking hair. I'm growing mine out also. Noticed the hint of red in it. You could be Irish or Scottish ha? Reason why I say so is cause I have red ish brown hair like yours. That's why I'm asking ha. :) Texas heat is strong and uncomfortable. Anyhow. Ttyl!
When you disconnect the guns from the hoses give it a squeeze to drop the pressure. When Hocking up the spray gun jam it open and if you don't make a clean connect water has a place to go and not spray everywhere
Dirty hands and dirty knees..., I can relate. I'm a horticulturist at U.C. and get dirty every day. Are there any mosquitoes in your little garden? Loved the fast motion segment. Stretch before you work that fast, to avoid injury. ;-) Veronica is very vehement, vivacious, veracious, vigorous, and virtuous! And still sporting those outrageous boots. :-)
Those outrageous boots are my snake guards! 😂 Yes tons of mosquitoes- I should have Deet as a sponsor. 😑 Definitely stretch before working that fast lol. Awesome that you're at UC- please feel free to add extra info in the comments from your own experience so I can learn too! 🙂
Those pits you have planted, do you know anything about their "ancestry" or are you just hoping that they will produce? (sorry about the ignorance. Never tried to grow peach from seed).
Yes! I got some Heirloom (I want to say) Iowa White (if I remember correctly 😂) peach pits that are said to grow true from someone on YT or IG; the others are Italian heirlooms from travel but idk much beyond that they were delicious. 😬 I've found that stonefruit germinates better with a few freeze/thaw cycles. I plant them out in Dec/January to do that a little more hands off.
I began converting to a "no dig" garden a couple years ago. It is much improved now by adding compost, leaves, other decomposed plants to cover the clay.
And or add a ball valve shut off between the Quick connect and hoes. It will make your life more easier ha ha ha ha by turning off the ball valve so no water can get by it. They are very cheap
Hi Veronica! You've been busy! Hey, just a little suggestion so you don't have to kink the hose every time, they make quick connects with a ball valve. It's what we use around the homestead and they work awesome. Here's a link: www.amazon.com/Plastic-Connectors-Coupling-Fittings-Adapters/dp/B07TNLB83M/ref=sr_1_26?crid=3EZTNJ8V1EAB9&keywords=garden+hose+quick+connect&qid=1567528649&s=gateway&sprefix=garden+hose+quick%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-26 Keep up the great work!
@@VeronicaFlores That's the speed I hope to see when I'm paying by the hour! - it would take that kind of speed up to make me look normal the way I've been working in this August southeast Texas heat. :)

Yeah if you use the spinners gotta run them just after sunrise to avoid that, definitely not anywhere near midday!

Nice little setup. I am not nearly as organized. Propagation via cuttings is an area where I mostly kill things rather than getting them to grow.

At 14:20 , kink the hose twice in one hand so the water can’t flow and the attachment doesn’t have any slack or flex. It’ll look like a “Z”.
Have you've consider using a soaker hose instead of the sprayers? Would possibly water plants from top more consistently.
would you please explain the "soaker" hose equipment and function.

That's a LOT of sour cream! Thanks for the videos it, helps me want to garden.
Thanks so much very good advice for watering the plants very complicated I well try on my farm God bless you
I like the idea of sending the water right to the roots which avoids a lot of evaporation and way less water to make plants flourish. I am going to ask the local nursery how they do it. They never seem to have an under watered plant.
Lmk what you find out! I used to work at a nursery and we hand watered many times per day. 😂
Have a good conference! Great Macgyver-ing with the bottle fill.
How can you work in such heat. If I don't get my outside work done by 10 am, I have to wait till late afternoon. Stay cool.
I think the shade helps a lot. I just started experimenting it roofed pathways near my grows and it sure helps with the heat. Nice tall trees also give off great shade.
Yeah shade helps A TON. But wear less clothing + take lots of breaks. 🙂
LOL, If I wear any less clothes I would be naked like in the garden of Eden, so no.I'm really light complected and the sun wreaks havoc on my skin

Have fun at the conference! Come back and teach us what you learned!!!
I'm likely going to, but I'm planning on propagating that mycelium etc out first on a "better" substrate/feed for them (then I'll mix it in.) 🙂
I really love these unedited down to earth(pun intended)clips, excellent work.
How much does one of those sprayers cover?
spray cover depends on what sprayer you choose and water pressure, many different spray heads to choose from. generally speaking one similar to what Veronica is using will cover 3 feet ( 90cm ). you can get half circle cover ones, 1/4 circle ones , mist emitters, taps, and even drippers. just make sure you put a filter before the sprayers so it doesn"t block up, and i put a tap at the end of the line and open it up now and then to flush out ( most people just put an end stop).
Yeah around 3'- that's the spacing I did, rated for 4-6' at 360 degrees, but some overlap is a good idea. 🙂
Veronica Flores Excellent. Looks like a real time saver too 👍
I like watching you because your a very gorgeous woman that can teach me about planting things
Love your thinking!!
Love your videos along with your personality your a beautiful woman inside and out. Thanks
What length of time do you leave your irrigation system run? Do all of your plants require the same amount of watering?
In this space yes, for the most part. I run them about 20 minutes daily in the summer, check the soil moisture levels frequently, and adjust my watering schedule as necessary.
Where did you score the sour cream containers? Good idea. Looks good

Those pits you have planted, do you know anything about their "ancestry" or are you just hoping that they will produce? (sorry about the ignorance. Never tried to grow peach from seed).
Yes! I got some Heirloom (I want to say) Iowa White (if I remember correctly 😂) peach pits that are said to grow true from someone on YT or IG; the others are Italian heirlooms from travel but idk much beyond that they were delicious. 😬
I've found that stonefruit germinates better with a few freeze/thaw cycles. I plant them out in Dec/January to do that a little more hands off.
ha.... Your nursery is about the size of my entire backyard garden.
Yeah I'm super lucky to have so much space! ❤️
I began converting to a "no dig" garden a couple years ago. It is much improved now by adding compost, leaves, other decomposed plants to cover the clay.
magic mushrooms!
And or add a ball valve shut off between the Quick connect and hoes. It will make your life more easier ha ha ha ha by turning off the ball valve so no water can get by it. They are very cheap

Hi Veronica! You've been busy! Hey, just a little suggestion so you don't have to kink the hose every time, they make quick connects with a ball valve. It's what we use around the homestead and they work awesome. Here's a link: www.amazon.com/Plastic-Connectors-Coupling-Fittings-Adapters/dp/B07TNLB83M/ref=sr_1_26?crid=3EZTNJ8V1EAB9&keywords=garden+hose+quick+connect&qid=1567528649&s=gateway&sprefix=garden+hose+quick%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-26
Keep up the great work!
😎👍✳️
Search "hose shut off" on Amazon ($10). Save yourself some hose headache! 😁
Lol I know - I had planned on grabbing one at the store sooner and just forgot!
I *dig* your videos! Get it? 😉
You're fast! I'm only half fast - so I've been told.
It's sped up - took me 2.5 days (well like 6-8 hours total) to make this happen 😂
@@VeronicaFlores That's the speed I hope to see when I'm paying by the hour! - it would take that kind of speed up to make me look normal the way I've been working in this August southeast Texas heat. :)
With all the squats that you do, you should have pro cyclist legs in no time! Good tips & tricks that you gave us! Thx!
I get it now..ur a wino...cool . Wheres the grapes ??? Dont hide them from us .
Hahaha love that I can get so much good garbage from dad's work! 😂
@@VeronicaFlores I love wine . I always drink california wine . I have loved it since they beat the french in the tasting contest . I try never to miss an opportunity to up set the french . I wonder if they have master gardeners in france ?
Not only a wino but a sour cream-aholic! Luckily none of her plants are lactose intolerant...
In my eyes i think you are gorgeous and very down to earth. I love that about you.
