my kentucky lake bush beans i planted in spring have re-flowered and are fruiting for a second time, ive been harvesting a lot of green beans out of that first spring planting.
Agree with hilling if you need it, many people plant beans wrong though... it should be done with good soil moisture but no rain expected until after emergence. Place them deep where the moisture is at ,pack em down for good contact and cover the row with loose soil so weeds can't compete. Eliminates in row weeding and prevents a crust for a while. Seen many people plant them shallow and take a hose to water em in which is about the worst thing you can do.
I have to shade my fall vegetable transplants. Zone 9 coastal Texas. I use a 1x3 wooden stake with a piece of cardboard box stapled to it with a couple of construction staples. Set it to shade from West side from noon to evening. Also the little push in the ground corrugated plastic campaign signs work good, especially if they have a wire frame. Bend it a bit to provide noon shade..
Go ahead and plant them taters. Sounds like a great idea. We grow them in pots up here in 7b, (N.Y). We planted a second crop right after harvesting the first crop at the end of July. If we timed it right, the second crop should be ready just before the first frost.
If you have potatoes that are chitting, get them in the ground and take advantage of your long growing season. 👍😀 The gem corn is looking ready for harvest. Your kids seemed to enjoy picking those last year with them being so colorful.
I think I heard that tater say, "plant me." I'm enjoying the Ruiz okree. Pretty plant and flowers for the bonus. Hoping my king of the garden limas start producing soon, the vines are massive and I got flowers.
I know you don't like mulching your and your garden spots but I often use straw and specifically straw to guard my beans from Weeds. At season's end I just till it in. It really helps to prevent the rain from splashing dirt up on the leaves You will dig your peanuts when the top start dying back
Thanks! On going experiment, had a rough skin russet potato from the organic store area that had sprouted, planted it in a big tub trying to duplicate the conditions that potatoes evolved in the semi-arid foothills of the Andes mountains, S. America. Doing my best to duplicate the Volcanic soils they evolved in, 6 years later, un-dug and un-disturbed except for the addition of amended soil it continues to come back every year. Here's a few bucks to to experiment with.
Hi, First time viewer. I did an experiment this summer. I planted just the potatoe skin where a sprout was and they grew amazingly well. It allowed me to eat the potatoe and get a plant which produced more too. lol....I am learning alot by watching your methods. Ty All the best
Definitely on planting taters, I just planted mine the other day along with some bush beans, onions and garlic. Can't wait to see your raised bed video.
For the peanuts it depends on if you like them fully mature or some smaller softer ones. For full mature pretty much anytime in September if you planted by April/May
Yes to fall tater planting. BTW, planted some of the 'Ruiz' okra seeds you sent us. Love this okra. It is producing and producing. I have been freezing some and still have plenty to eat. This is our new favorite okra.
Yes, I would like see your fall potatoes. I had some of mine sprouting as well, and I planted a small bed about 2 weeks ago. I have some coming up! I have never done fall ones before, but I am anxious to see how they do.
Travis... I really don't have an answer for my success with the Ali Baba and yours seemingly wonky. Mine this year all look like they always have for me. This year is my first year to use drip tape to water my garden....in the past I've used soaker hose. And this year is the first year to fertilize via the drip tape... Although in the past I've never fertilized watermelon....this year I have fertilized some with the drip tape with the same results. Really the only thing that I do different in my growing watermelon is I've ALWAYS put down black plastic and the last two years a black landscape fabric that is an exclusive at Sam's .... I've always had either soaker hose and this year drip tape under the plastic or fabric. I cut a slit or hole in the fabric and plant the watermelon plants or direct seed there. The watermelons will grow great on top of the fabric and it makes it weed free. CAUTION: DO NOT use the landscape fabric that Costco sells...the weeds and grass just grown under it and makes a mess of the garden. I used some of it this year (not with the watermelon thank goodness) and it's really not black, but a grey color and grass and weeds grow under it just fine.
Travis I definitely want to see you grow potatoes in the Fall! I tried growing some during the summer and there was nothing there not even an itty bitty potato!! I'm in Texas so it is super hot here, I would like to try potatoes again
🤣 shout out to my beans getting Rust early this season! My fall planting of Blue Lake Bush beans they are much taller and happier than the spring planting. I also started them in seed trays and let them get about 3-4 weeks before transplanting. Just had Southern Collards and Red Cabbage sprout today. Falls gonna be a great one this year, winter is going to be harsh though, even down south.
If commercial fish 🐠 emulsion doesnt work, Travis, would you try raw sardines heads and leftovers, with maybe oats and compost as burried fertilizer or blended with water and sprayed on plants? Much love from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 keep up that good good mighty work!
Yes sir! Looking good, brother! Throw those taters in the ground and see what happens! You ain't got anything to lose and a lot to gain. Your place really looks great Travis, I know you're proud!
Yes on the fall taters. I found some of mine the other day that had too many sprouts to eat and I put em in the ground. Don't know if they'll make but I'm hopeful
Your plots are small enough to use the tractor as a nighttime coop if you put a electric net fence around the whole plot. You could add some meat chickens with them to actually increase the population density inside the plot.
We did that several years ago and our chickens got picked off one by one by the hawks. That's why these stay inside the chicken tractor all the time now.
My pumpkins are toast too -- though I got one nice pumpkin for my daughter from it. My issue is squash vine borer though. No matter how I rotate or what I use as a pesticide they always get my squash in summer here in north Alabama. Its funny because I never seen one in my whole life of gardening in the northeast and on the west coast until I moved here. You don't seem to have any too. I use to get so much summer squash I didn't know what to do with it all from just one plant when I lived up in PA. In three years here, I have only been able to grow one decent size summer squash no matter what parameters or varieteis I pick because of these pests. I think it the larva like to overwinter in the red clay here is my only guess why there are so many here. I came up with an idea on building traps at the base of the plants that I am going to try next spring because I really want to grow some Kabocha squash next year for my favorite soup.
My wife grows only cucurbita moschata winter squash, like butternut, because they have thick stems that the borers don’t damage. There are some moschata pumpkins. Tromboncino is a moschata squash that can be eaten like summer squash or as a winter squash. This from SE PA.
Do the pumpkins like acidic soil? that's what the pine staw have maybe to much moisture in the beginning I know the need lots of moisture when they flower and put on fruit I would love to see 👀 the corn 🌽 when you harvest.
It seems like it would be wise to invest in some shade cloth.... especially for your late summer plantings. You have frost protection for winter and spring... why not help in the hot hot summer days?
I’ve gotten thoroughly hooked on growing garlic (Oregon Blue, Inchelium Red, Thai Purple, Island Star, and Rose de Lautrec) - so, yes, I would love to see what you do with an entire plot of garlic! Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 8/24/2022.
Hi, Larry! A paste for garlic bread? No, not that one... but I do make pesto, dehydrate some of it for garlic powder, and use some of it to make creamy garlic sauce. Best wishes, Kate.
It's still to hot for regular squash, but not for the winter squash. I have several winter squash plants that aren't looking so good right now and probably won't make anything before winter. It's a test, so if they fail I'll know not to plant winter squash in the late summer. That week that felt like a early fall sure went away in a hurry.
Your turmeric looks nice. Have you ever seen them go to bloom as those can be nice? I've always grown my turmeric in like a 20 gallon pot that I keep under the citrus. I could probably use my 3 or 4 hundred-gallon horse troughs since I'm not growing pubescens peppers anymore.
Hey Travis, there's not squash bugs or something under the pine straw on the wilty pumpkins is there? I tried c.pepo, maxima and moschata squash this year and didn't get a single fruit. May have to skip a few years and try squash again 🤔.
Hey! Have you ever had worms get in your pumpkins? My white ones have worm holes. Never had this problem before. Went to pick a squash and had to throw it and a cantaloupe to the birds. They rotted, though they finally looked ripe.... more worms!
If you let some of that millet start to head out and then just muscle the tractor through it they will love you forever :) I have never transplanted pumpkins, just direct seed, they always do great. I reckon it depends on your time and rotation factor when it comes to fall plantings...which I also have never done :) I heard some where that valencias are a 90 day crop...idk maybe you should scratch one up and look. The Ruiz okra, the watermelons and that gem corn are impressive. You need to go out there and rub those Ali Baba watermelons like a magic lamp to get them to grow right LOL....gg
My cool crops (Brussels, cauliflower, broccoli) all start really well as seeds. Once they start to get their first true leaves, the cotyledons start to dry/crisp and then continue to the true leaves. Any idea what may be going on? The moisture seems to be good as other seedlings are thriving and this is the second time in a row this has happened to me (spring planting as well). This is indoors with an adjustable light, so I have messed with the output and it does not seems to help. I know you do stuff under greenhouses, but not sure if you have experience anything similar.
Man. its something with the heat...dry fall heat maybe. I have a bunch of plants that look like that. ive been doing over head for weeks trying to keep em going.
I've been spraying them with Bonide Fruit Tree Spray which seems to help a little. I'll also soon start fertilizing them heavily just to try and get them to push through it a little bit.
Japanese Beatles are feasting on my marigolds. They started with vines along the fence. Then onto my pole beans now into my marigolds. Nasty bugs. I spray in between rain and at nights. Then in the morning pick em off. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.
To me it looks like your pumpkin transplants roots are quite grabbing the nutrients completely from the soil yet, it looks like a "special case" for some 20-20-20. I had the same thing happen to my squash this year. 2 days after 20-20-20 and the leaves were no longer allergic to the sun. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE grow some more Giant Watermelons next year I really want to see a video of just the ducks trying to devour the giant and how long it takes them.
I embarrassed the crap out of my neighbor who said my TV was too loud and called me deaf, plus suggesting I'm not neighborly. I told him that's because I have to play it louder than his rooster and barking dog. Within a couple hours, both the rooster and dog were off his property. I also asked him if his invasive plants (Morning Glory, horsetail, ivy, etc) are neighborly plants. It will take 50 years to get rid of the morning glory seeds. Not sure what he is going to do about those issues. He even lied to me saying he didn't plant the row of morning glory. I wish you were my neighbor, as Brooklyn would keep me laughing with her humor and you'd be more conscientious.
There are three reasons why millet will look the way your millet does. First and foremost, if the soil isn't acidic, they don't do well. Secondly, it could be due to a fungal infection. The last reason is heat and wind distress where hot winds dry out the leaves faster than moisture can be brought to the affected areas. I really don't think it is a fungal infection. The pH might play a part in it turning brownish yellow. A little iron sulfate should help with that. However, looking at your tumeric, and also at your peppers, I would wager the primary culprit is just that hot S. Georgia wind. Heat stress will make a plant look like it has either a fungal infection or nutrient deficiency.
@@LazyDogFarm I'm also interested in seeing how your taters do. I am doing an experiment with beets and carrots right now. I had a few taters sprouting and tossed them in. Nature is telling me we're going to have an early Fall, so I don't know how this is going to play out. I'm on the breakover in zones...so it'll be neat to see how someone more north of me does vs how I do. Usually, it is too hot to plant them here.
Drainage? Those plants may have been in soil with a slightly high amount of anaerobic bacteria that rots the roots of seedlings. Just a guess. You might try a plot with tile drainage to ensure the water-table stays as low as possible & doesn't keep the soil more moist than what it could be. My county uses Low-Impact-Development & it doesn't recommend sheet-water for more than 100ft. IMO my sandy-loam prefers no more than 40ft of sheet-water for the healthiest grass, so I'd probably need tile every 40ft for a flat lawn. LID basically uses 30% of land for standing-water-drainage, b/c water flowing over water doesn't erode soil, & ponding gasses off nitrogen before it gets to the ocean, & ponding somewhat filters out phosphorus to keep oxygen in the lakes-&-rivers.

Yes on the taters and the raised beds. Can’t wait to see the peanut harvest.
love the duck updates haha
my kentucky lake bush beans i planted in spring have re-flowered and are fruiting for a second time, ive been harvesting a lot of green beans out of that first spring planting.
That's great that they made it through the summer.
Wow so great, enjoy!!
Lol the ducks will be happy about your watermelon! 😂

I wish I had some tators to plant, but we ate every one I grew. I learned that I can grow them, and I need to plant more next year.

Fall taters would be nice. You can never have too many taters and I love to watch tater harvests.
I like those tunnel trellises. Seems like it would make it easier to harvest the beans as well.
Definitely plant them tatters. I’m in Tennessee and have already planted mine and they are up
I know you don't like mulching your and your garden spots but I often use straw and specifically straw to guard my beans from Weeds. At season's end I just till it in. It really helps to prevent the rain from splashing dirt up on the leaves

Yes, plant the tatas😀
Love the onions😀
You got it!

Yup to fall taters. I was just noticing the same sprouting in mine and decided to plant a few, too.
Yes taters. About to try my hand at fall potatoes this evening
I’d like to see you grow fall taters again!! I’m going to try to grow some in the greenhouse this fall/winter
Yes on fall taters! I’m still trying to nail it down too in 7a. I always rot them in fall
ITS TATOR TIME!!💯😁👍 I'm excited for your glass gem corn.💛🧡💙
For the peanuts it depends on if you like them fully mature or some smaller softer ones. For full mature pretty much anytime in September if you planted by April/May

Yes, grow fall 🥔
Yes- please would like to see you grow fall taters. I am in inTexas DFW ares

I don't mind a harsh winter every now and then. It helps to kill some of these bugs and fungi in our soils.
@@LazyDogFarm that’s right
Thanks!
Thanks Natalie!
Alright ... alright ... alright!
If commercial fish 🐠 emulsion doesnt work, Travis, would you try raw sardines heads and leftovers, with maybe oats and compost as burried fertilizer or blended with water and sprayed on plants?

Yes, I am looking forward for to seeing this he soon aided beds and please plant ‘ potatoes’!
My phone won’t let me type t a d e r s.
Yes on the fall taters. I found some of mine the other day that had too many sprouts to eat and I put em in the ground. Don't know if they'll make but I'm hopeful
I want to see potatoes planted..please! Central Florida 9b. Still 90+ every day. My sweet potatoes are looking real good.

Thanks! Fall tater crop would be cool to see.
Thanks Justin!
tried peanuts once, 8x4 patch. I got 1 peanut. Chipmunks are cute, but they really love peanuts. And beets...
Fall taters YES!
It's still to hot for regular squash, but not for the winter squash. I have several winter squash plants that aren't looking so good right now and probably won't make anything before winter. It's a test, so if they fail I'll know not to plant winter squash in the late summer. That week that felt like a early fall sure went away in a hurry.
Pumpkins, squash, cukes, all in the cucurbits will all droop in the heat. It is their way to conserve water to the roots.
Your turmeric looks nice. Have you ever seen them go to bloom as those can be nice? I've always grown my turmeric in like a 20 gallon pot that I keep under the citrus. I could probably use my 3 or 4 hundred-gallon horse troughs since I'm not growing pubescens peppers anymore.
Ours never bloomed last year. We harvested them before a hard freeze, so never have seen them bloom.
Hey Travis, there's not squash bugs or something under the pine straw on the wilty pumpkins is there? I tried c.pepo, maxima and moschata squash this year and didn't get a single fruit. May have to skip a few years and try squash again 🤔.
I haven't seen any squash bugs. Those plants are doing much better lately that they've gotten a little bigger.
Yes, fall tators
💪🏽 I’d like to see you grow some fall taters; I’m going to try my first fall tater planting here in Texas 8b
Go for it!
Fall Taters!
Taters and maters in the fall!
I just planted some taters two weeks ago. I’d love to see your go at fall taters
Sounds good!
My bean plants have brown spots and brown regions all over the leaves. Should I spray fungicide with chlorothalonyl, such as Davconil or Bravo?
Sounds like rust. I'd definitely spray a fungicide.
Hey! Have you ever had worms get in your pumpkins? My white ones have worm holes. Never had this problem before. Went to pick a squash and had to throw it and a cantaloupe to the birds. They rotted, though they finally looked ripe.... more worms!
I have. It's probably pickle worms. Probably gonna need to spray something like Bt or Spinosad to try and reduce the pressure.
Sure plant taters I have mine in &am going to plant a few more tomorrow
I'm interested in seeing soil condition when you remove the silage tarp. Why didn't you plant some fall cucumbers, tomatoes, or sweet corn?
We put up a ton of tomatoes, corn, and pickles from our spring garden. So didn't really feel a need to do more.
WhT will you do with that much turmeric?
We'll dry and grind some of it, but we'll just keep multiplying our supply year after year hopefully.
Please do fall potatoes. I would like to see how it does
It's time Tater Time!!!!. Will just direct seed the marigold work in the rows and rake it in? Looks like rust of millet which is a fungus.
You could direct seed them. They do seem to germinate pretty easily.
Like you a lot more than that hoss tools guy.
Yes on fall taters
If you let some of that millet start to head out and then just muscle the tractor through it they will love you forever :) I have never transplanted pumpkins, just direct seed, they always do great. I reckon it depends on your time and rotation factor when it comes to fall plantings...which I also have never done :) I heard some where that valencias are a 90 day crop...idk maybe you should scratch one up and look. The Ruiz okra, the watermelons and that gem corn are impressive. You need to go out there and rub those Ali Baba watermelons like a magic lamp to get them to grow right LOL....gg
I did find another Alibaba yesterday that actually looked like it's supposed to look, so maybe it's working. lol
I can’t help but wonder if the pine straw is too acidic for some of your vegetables, like the squash. Do you always use pine straw for your veggies?
We only use it for a few things. Studies have shown that it doesn't increase soil acidity.
My cool crops (Brussels, cauliflower, broccoli) all start really well as seeds. Once they start to get their first true leaves, the cotyledons start to dry/crisp and then continue to the true leaves. Any idea what may be going on? The moisture seems to be good as other seedlings are thriving and this is the second time in a row this has happened to me (spring planting as well).
This is indoors with an adjustable light, so I have messed with the output and it does not seems to help. I know you do stuff under greenhouses, but not sure if you have experience anything similar.
I've not experienced anything like that. Make sure the entire cell is wet. Sounds like either a lack of water or too much light heat.
Love to see you do the taters.
Man. its something with the heat...dry fall heat maybe. I have a bunch of plants that look like that. ive been doing over head for weeks trying to keep em going.
What do you do for the powdery mildew on the pumpkins? Mine are awful since all of this rain this week.
I've been spraying them with Bonide Fruit Tree Spray which seems to help a little. I'll also soon start fertilizing them heavily just to try and get them to push through it a little bit.
I’m guessing that Japanese Beetles were munching on those sweet potatoes. Those things absolutely destroy plants when they get a hold of them.
Oooohhhh yes! I wanna see those taters go in!
what your feelings toward using plastic ground covering
I think it works. Our row spacing is always changing from one growout to the next, so it's not something I ever plan on using.
i think with the pumpkins its just to hot and humid here for them, i never have been able to grow them here in the Brunswick area.
It's not easy, but it can be done.
hello... can you tell me where you got your greenhouse and do you have a discount code? thank you 😊
Got it from Atlas Greenhouse in Alapaha, GA. I don't have a discount code. They haven't been very cooperative on working with me as a video creator.
Japanese Beatles are feasting on my marigolds. They started with vines along the fence. Then onto my pole beans now into my marigolds. Nasty bugs. I spray in between rain and at nights. Then in the morning pick em off.
Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.
We don't really have Japanese Beetles down here. We have lots of other pests, but don't have to deal with that particular one.
Try some Beatle Traps. I put them out at first sign of the Japanese beetles. Has really helped this year.
Go for the fall taters!
Is there an ideal temp to sprout/start peanuts? Mine keep failing perhaps because it's been too hot.
We planted ours in late April/early May once the soils had warmed up a bit. I'm not sure the ideal germination temp though.
To me it looks like your pumpkin transplants roots are quite grabbing the nutrients completely from the soil yet, it looks like a "special case" for some 20-20-20. I had the same thing happen to my squash this year. 2 days after 20-20-20 and the leaves were no longer allergic to the sun.

I probably do need to give the pumpkins a little quick shot.

I told him that's because I have to play it louder than his rooster and barking dog. Within a couple hours, both the rooster and dog were off his property.

Not sure what he is going to do about those issues. He even lied to me saying he didn't plant the row of morning glory. I wish you were my neighbor, as Brooklyn would keep me laughing with her humor and you'd be more conscientious.
LOL❣️ Enjoyed your story, thanks for sharing.
There are three reasons why millet will look the way your millet does. First and foremost, if the soil isn't acidic, they don't do well. Secondly, it could be due to a fungal infection. The last reason is heat and wind distress where hot winds dry out the leaves faster than moisture can be brought to the affected areas. I really don't think it is a fungal infection. The pH might play a part in it turning brownish yellow. A little iron sulfate should help with that. However, looking at your tumeric, and also at your peppers, I would wager the primary culprit is just that hot S. Georgia wind. Heat stress will make a plant look like it has either a fungal infection or nutrient deficiency.
Thanks for the comprehensive analysis Ken!
@@LazyDogFarm I'm also interested in seeing how your taters do. I am doing an experiment with beets and carrots right now. I had a few taters sprouting and tossed them in. Nature is telling me we're going to have an early Fall, so I don't know how this is going to play out. I'm on the breakover in zones...so it'll be neat to see how someone more north of me does vs how I do. Usually, it is too hot to plant them here.
God knows how many bean plants I have whacked down weeding around them
Yep. I'm bad about trying to pull up a weed and then pulling up a bean plant too.
YES fall taters!!!
Just plant the taters, Travis. You know you want to and know the rest of us want you to, as well, haha
Did you ever find a source for Macon sweet onions?
I did not. Did you find a source?
Drainage? Those plants may have been in soil with a slightly high amount of anaerobic bacteria that rots the roots of seedlings. Just a guess.
You might try a plot with tile drainage to ensure the water-table stays as low as possible & doesn't keep the soil more moist than what it could be.
My county uses Low-Impact-Development & it doesn't recommend sheet-water for more than 100ft. IMO my sandy-loam prefers no more than 40ft of sheet-water for the healthiest grass, so I'd probably need tile every 40ft for a flat lawn. LID basically uses 30% of land for standing-water-drainage, b/c water flowing over water doesn't erode soil, & ponding gasses off nitrogen before it gets to the ocean, & ponding somewhat filters out phosphorus to keep oxygen in the lakes-&-rivers.
We have pretty sandy soil. Drainage is usually not an issue, thanks for the wonderful insight.
How many chickens in your tractor?
I've had as many as 6, but there are 5 in there now.
Yes please plant the tater sprouts!
Yes to fall taters!
