      My wife and I have followed your youtube channel for a couple of years. We look forward to each episode. We have started container gardening this year and just put in our Napa, Collards, and Kale. We use your method of making our own soil. I have a question though. We want to know how we as Organic farmers can minimize insect damage to our crops. We go out each morning very early and pick off the caterpillars and bugs. Do you use any type of insecticidal spray on your crops? Thank you for answering.

    • @HollisNancysHomestead
      @HollisNancysHomestead  4 роки тому +5

      For caterpillars spray with Thuricide BT. For chewing insects use 100% Cold Pressed Neem Oil. For cucumber beetles and squash bugs I use Spinosad. All of this is organic

    So I just ran out to take another look at my spinach seeds. And yayyyyy, about 4 of them have germinated pretty well. Your knowledge is really helpful and you explain things so well. I am so excited about gardening and your videos provide so much information. I live in Jacksonville and have been trying to find a gardening class for beginners, but this channel is literally my class so thanks a million ❤️.

      Thats what i was once reading on facebook from some girls,that this metod always works.
      Maybe we should try it.
      Last year my spinach didnt worked because i tries normal way and was to hot i guess i see now, i hope this year will 🙏🏻

It's almost that time of year again to start seeds indoors where I live in the Pacific Northwest. Good luck to you, I pray that you will have success this year and a bountiful harvest all around.

    Dear Holli and Nancy. I admire all you do and simply love you. I have a great tip to share how to make spinach germinate with 90%+ rate. It des not like to germinate if temperature is above 15 C degree. So, take a tray with small cells, place two seeds in each and keep it in the fridge (in the plastic bag) over night, and out during the day. This will trick it that it is cold and germinate in 7-14 days. Then once germinated it can be replanted in bigger cells if desired. All the best to both of you. You are a real inspiration for all of us.

I'm embarrassed to say I've never seen the full growth cycle of spinach until now. Thank you for another wonderful video.

    I find myself doing some head rolls and nodding just to limber up my neck for the
    head shaking I KNOW I'm going to do at the end of each video, out of amazement!!
    I experienced VERY slow, and hard to tell what's what germination this year with
    Parsnips, that got planted in an area that had coriander in it last year. Both are
    notorious for being slow to germinate especially direct sown into an earth garden,
    AND both look very similar as seedlings!! It was easily a month before we could
    safely weed it. Pulled 100's of coriander growing as volunteers once we could truly
    determine which was which!!! 👍
    This video, I think was almost more of a tenacity lesson as much as it was a Spinach
    growing video. 28 days it said on the seed pack, however 2 weeks, 2 weeks, days
    ahead,,,,,, we'll be back. Your encouraging words started ringing in my ears,
    "You can do this" "Don't give up" Wise man! 👍👍👍👍👍

    Ive had great success with seeds in our much cooler temps here in WI zone 4. Spinach, lettuce and kale all like our poor sandy soil so spring and fall even with frost they do well and I just throw the seeds in the ground and cover lightly. If ifs a bit too cold, I put a frost blanket over them. Same with basil bit in warmer temps. I don’t have any luck at all with any of those flimsy hardware store plating cells trays. I don’t care whose method I use so I switched to Park Seed Bio Dome system, heat mats and proper lights for just about everything I don’t direct sow. The results are awesome. Its a bit pricey but the Bio Dome will last a lifetime. Because its a shirt season I don’t have time to waste. Good demo!!

    That is some awesome spinach! I usually plant in the ground but this is a great idea. I will be trying this. Thanks so much for sharing.

    I didn't realize you guys were in Florida too. Good to know. Southern Laritudes sent me to watch this video, I'm struggling with getting Spinach to germinate right now.
