Happy growing!
Pointing at the frosted watering can and saying "I don't think that will flower this year" got me smiling real big.
Well, he's a dad, now, so we're gonna get a lot more of those dad jokes!
I've noted the progression of your hand knit cardigan from new, to ripped, to well mended. Too cool!!!
I love your vids. You're important. You make a difference. Thanks.
Especially eloquent soliloquy here, Sean. Thank you for your keen observation and storytelling skills.
I've been spraying peach trees with water at night. 🤞 All the best to you Sean! Great advice on diversification.......
Frost free 🥶 dogs 🐕 lol 💜
"...these dogs are entirely frost free..." 😂😂😂
Micro climates are something I have toyed with for years with fair to moderate success here in zone 4b.
Enjoyed watching you walk about (as I like to call them) in your garden. Still really cold here in zone 5b, at - 3 C as I speak. This past week it's gone as low as - 13 C overnights. Seedlings will get planted when it's time 🙂
I always appreciate your contemplations. Our weather has been similar here in western Massachusetts. When we moved here 20 years ago, we were in zone 5b or maybe even 5a. Now it's officially zone 6a.
Nature rules. No sense in covering plants. Let nature do it’s thing. I love your methods.
That’s the conclusion I’ve come to as well.
We have the same situation in Czechia. After a lon period of extremely warm days in the first half of April, winter is back. Frost at night and very cold days. Everything is damagged.
High desert in nw Nevada & we have a rolls coaster weather here also. Rarely, but we’ve had snow in June 😯. Started indoors seeding, go to greenhouse then garden in June. It’s funny how different areas respond.
Have a great day 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
You manage diversity so well. This is why your observations are so useful and interesting
No frosts on the horizon here in northern Utah. We’ve had May weather all April so apples are forming big time. Having grown up in central NY, I so appreciate your poetry in words and visuals
So very happy to share
My rule in northern New Jersey is dont plant frost intolerant plants until memorial day. They still grow fast and almost no risk of freezing. 😊
My bronze fennel I got from you is already waking up and growing
Ours too and does it reseed!
@@cpnotill9264 I’m just happy to have some endless bird treats now lol
I've got peach trees that the flowers do that every year. And I still have to go Hand thin fruit because they overproduce so strong. New York over near lake Erie
Love watching your observations. Thanks for taking time to share
Here in the Ozarks of southern MO we have had several days in the mid to upper 80s already, and then just last week we got a 32° frost. My garden crops were mostly ok because I went to great lengths covering them (had already planted eggplant, tomatoes, peppers and potatoes). But I noticed a lot of the wild plants got hit pretty hard: persimmons leafing out, grapes with flower clusters, and the poor mulberries with leaves and flowers opening. So sad about the mulberries especially. My trees are fairly young, but I heard from a friend that his mature tree froze at the top and the bottom branches were more sheltered within the canopy so those flowers were spared. Interesting to note.
So much to learn here, although the rules of the game seem to be changing every year so it's a moving target!
Much the same situation here in Michigan. Thanks for sharing your observations!
My fear would really be if there will be insects to pollinate.
It’s amazing how much your trees are leafed out compared to mine just on the other side of the county. We also had a solid freeze, but unlike last year I don’t see permanent damage on things like comfrey and day lilies. All the tiny little sprouts seem unaffected thankfully
Thanks would love end of season review! Hi Sasha and baby Zelda
We had the same freeze up in Montreal, -3. Only some of the open and semi-open buds of my kiwi vines sustained damage
Same weather evolution pattern here in northern France with warmer springs. We faced a shalow freeze last Tuesday, hopefully the last for this Year. Good luck to us all!🤞
Hello from the Sud Ouest
A conscious choice I am making is to put our fruit trees on our north facing slope, to try to delay their flowering, even if we keep getting these late winter warm spells.
Yes yes. They need to wake up as late as possible
I'm in NW Kansas, and we deal with the same issues, with a lot less rainfall. I love apricots so when my wife and I bought our house, I immediately planted a mini orchard of apricots and apples and plums. My trees are around 5 years old and the blooms have never made it to May 1. My plan is to graft some hardier cultivars onto my well established rootstock, but Moorpark apricots haven't played out for us here.
Thank you for another video.
Mid Missouri here and going by recent history i shouldn't be planting first sensitive plants out in the ground until early to mid May, but I'm taking a chance this year based on the 10 day forecast that we don't have anything leading up to early may that threatens freeze and that it won't suddenly swing cold after that. I planted my peppers in the ground and tomatoes in a raised bed yesterday. Fingers crossed
I'm in Michigan 5b and our day to day weather is very similar to yours. Our pear blossoms are at the exact same stage of flower.
Great frost-free quips! Good vid, liked your observations.
I am East Coast Canada. We are still consistently at or a few degrees below freezing every night. Lots of swelling buds but no leaves or flowers yet. we are forecasted quite warm for the next week so I expect that will change soon. I am just developing my plant life right now. I am aiming to get one or 2 plants of each species or variety so I can discover what works best in my climate. Then I will propagate those that thrive.
Seems like a very reasonable way to proceed!
you have the world record height of apple tree, thing is a beast! haha
It is absolutely ridiculous what is happening here in eastern Austria.. Linden trees flowering 2 months before they normally would, we almost got fully ripe cherry plums, the cherries are sizing up lots.. I mean, we are probably gonna get lots of fruits this year, as it shouldn't (hopefully) freeze anymore, but this is absolutely ridiculous..
Wow.
I started with hoop beds this year, (trying to replicate your high tunnel).
I am thinking of planting my tomatoes, peppers and a few other things I am in zone 7A, fingers crossed!
"I don't think it will flower this year" 😂
I was just wondering about you frost situation
love your advice. We got a wind chill, hail storm cold snap in northern AZ. getting ready to pop those beautiful Hazelnut seeds I got from you into the ground. What are your thoughts on diversifying them with Elderberry?
Seems like a nice idea to me, happy ploanting!
Blankets and tarps work for one n night
I heard seaberries were frost hardy but I lost one three years ago that got shocked by a frost a couple weeks after I put it in the ground and it never recovered after losing its leaves. Then last year I lost my male over winter. And this year I lost two females over winter but one has already shot up a sucker so I’m happy but worried it will happen again. I’m in Saint Louis and it only got down to like -15F for a few hours and was below 0F for no more than a week.
I think it has something to do with particular varieties but I’m not sure. Like, honeyberries grow great for me but “Czech 17” has died to the ground twice for me.
Also I lost all of my peaches this year and even my 6 year old Redhaven seems to have suddenly died. It only pushed out growth in maybe 30 buds and before the leaves even got as wide as a pencil they went limp and dried up so clearly just using the local energy and got nothing from the trunk. I’ve got about 5 buds still hanging in there so I am not giving up hope. No sign of borers, I just think I need to wait until late March to prune. I suspect the freezes we had after that sucked all the moisture out of them.
I lost my dang Eastern Prince Schisandra Vine. It flowered last year but the berries fell off prematurely so I thought this was going to be the year! I guess -15F is too low for them as well. Online they claim to survive down to -40F. Maybe that is the case when they are in the ground but certainly not when they are in a large pot.
My “Gabe” white nanking cherry still has not broken dormancy but is scratching green still, but my other seedling has already bloomed and leafed out.
I had a medlar in a 5 gallon pot that hasn’t broke dormancy yet and meanwhile the two I have in the ground are blooming right now. I suspect the -15F killed that as well.
My hobby has been damn expensive replacing this crap every year.
Here in deepest darkest Correze, France we've had the same story. Mild start to spring followed by hard frosts. Overnight temperatures went from 10°C to -6°C in three days: In our poly tunnel we lost half our tomato and squash family seedlings, despite them being under two layers of plastic within the closed tunnel. Outside resulted in similar damage to yourself to peaches and cherries. The most concerning, which leads to a question for you or anyone else reading, is the damage to some of our young (1-3 year old) trees. Toona sinensis, blue sausage fruit (Decaisnea fargesii), sichaun pepper and paw paws (Asiminas not tropicals!!) have all had their young leaf shoots taken out buy the frost. In your experience, do you think this will be terminal for these trees or will they bounce back?
Same here, nothern Germany. My young toona and pawpaws got hit hard, too, hope they spring back. The toona tock a beating last year in this brutal late frost, too, and came back, so fingers crossed.
@@workingdog_duke Yes all fingers and toes all crossed here!!
Does anyone have experience putting Christmas lights in the fruit trees to keep them warm?
Try stone behind the trees maybe?
@@TaxEvasion777, that's actually a very effective ancient strategy. Good advice.
You’d need old fashioned lights bc new LEDs don’t make enough heat
Speaking of seaberry... I'm in desperate need of a male seaberry. (Hint, hint- begging) ;)
Planting Justice nursery on west coast
@@TaxEvasion777 , thank you!
@@yLeprechaun I just checked and they are out of stock of most besides the seedlings and a female variety right now. But I ordered from them for my male and female earlier in the year and those two went in the ground maybe a week ago and I already have decent growth so they have good plants
@@TaxEvasion777, thanks again. I will keep checking.
