I have a large garden but I still grow a significant amount of vegetables in pots as I find it easier to manage problems. Your videos re enforce what I do and double the pleasure that growing in pots brings.
Hello. The same scenario over here - garden and containers 🙂 Thank You very much for Your kind words! I am very happy You like the content ☺ Happy gardening 🍀🌱
Hi - which country are you in (in UK here) and what did you add those cardboard collars around the plants' bases for please - was it to keep moisture in the soil or to prevent bugs? Advice help welcome 🙂@@Liap
@@oliviastar3812 Hello. I live in Slovakia. Those cardboard collars are used to prevent cabbage rootfly eggs from hatching. Cabbage maggots can be quite an issue over here.
I really appreciate your videos, they are so well made and easy to follow! I am a new gardener and just starting to learn, this year will be my first. Thank you for your videos!
Hello. That depends on Your location, for example I start early varieties in late February to mid March for June harvest and late varieties in June for autumn harvest. Where do You live? Thank You very much, I am so happy You like the video! ☺🍀
@@angeebrown1924 The area differs so much from one place to another according to map. We have last frost date mid May and first frost date mid October. Cauliflowers are best grown in cool weather. They don't grow well when it hot.
Those are beautiful! I loved the music also, so peaceful. Have you ever tried eating the leaves? I have grown collards and cabbage with good success. Another you tuber ate broccoli leaves, so I wondered about making two meals from one plant.
Hello. Yes I did. The younger ones are good and can be used the same way as kale. But I find the older ones rather tough and not very tasty. They are edible though. Thank You very much, I am happy You like the video ☺🍀
Hello. That doesn’t happen very often, but yes, sometimes they start to grow some side shoots after harvesting the crown, but it is unusual. Thank You very much! ☺️🍀
I think you’re supposed to only harvest the head with cauliflower and broccoli. Then get smaller growths after. Make sure to eat the leaves when you harvest the whole plant.
I don't know how i missed this video. Always a pleasure watchin your vids. Do you spray it at all? I ONLY use neem oil and a drop of organic soap, if i see the need, As i have a problem with leaf miner and whiteflies😒BUt I try as hard as possible to avoid using pesticides.
I grew these under row covers, but the ones grown in the garden were not covered, so I used neem oil there when I spotted first whiteflies. Thank You so so much, I am glad You enjoy these videos! ☺🌱
When the curd is abou 5-10cm (2-4") in diameter. Basically as soon as it starts to push out those inner leaves out. Thank You very much! I am happy You like the videos! ☺🍀
For pests I used neem oil. Well and for slugs, I try to prune bottom leaves that would touch the ground, and they always go for lettuce first anyway 🐌 But pruning bottom leaves really makes a difference.
Well, You can eat young leaves around the curd, even raw in salad. But even though bigger leaves are still edible, they are rather tough and not of the best taste.
Dobrý den, ahoj. Překrývali jste to záclonou nebo něčím proti běláskům? Minulý rok mi opt sežrali všechny kadeřávky. Také pěstuji v nádobách. Nechápu, jak se vám to povedlo. Díky.
Dobry deň, ahoj. Áno boli prekryté bielou netkanou textíliou 17g. Tie, čo boli pestované v zemi prekryté neboli, tam som použil bio postrek Bacillus thuringiensis. Je niečo konkrétne, čomu nerozumiete?
Hello. It is not a must. The most important is good quality’s compost. I like to add some wood ash, coffee grounds and/or bone meal (when I have some) because I am reusing the soil. You can easily use manure or balanced organic fertilizer.
I managed to make two big heads but the amounts of pests wanting to eat them makes is almost impossible! I was even doing it in a raised bed with insect net covers!!
Well, the best way to grow them is under row covers. Also, they are better grown in spring, as there is not that many pests as there is in summer/autumn. You can also use neem oil as prevention, it makes plants less attractive to pests. Hope some of this helps 🙂🌱🍀
Hello, I am not sure what is the name of this Japanese sweet potatoes? I grew purple ones, pink skin white inside and orange ones. I was only able to get these three varieties so far.
@@purityandplants The "pink skin white inside" are Murasaki. The best of these three varieties I've grown so far. I am already having them on soil and some are already growing first shoots. I do have a content for video of growing these in open garden, but it is going to take me quite some time to get to editing it. Murasaki are more resistant to weather changes and drought. I am sure You will have success with them 🍠🍀

Thank You very much ☺️🍀

Hello. Yes I started them in unheated greenhouse in March.
What did you do with those beautiful leaves. I hope you cooked them
Great videos.
Will those cut stems start to re-grow leaves?
Hello. That doesn’t happen very often, but yes, sometimes they start to grow some side shoots after harvesting the crown, but it is unusual.
Thank You very much! ☺️🍀
Can you eat the 🍃 leaves
@@pammiestewart1419you can eat the whole plant.

Util si interesant 👍👍. Le-ai tinut intr-un loc umbros? ❤❤❤
Buna ziua. Nu, erau în plin soare. Singura umbră pe care o aveau era în jurul prânzului timp de 2-3 ore.
Mulțumesc foarte mult ☺🍀 (translator)

What does the cardboard do?
It’s basically cabbage collar made from cardboard. It prevents root fly eggs from hatching.
Thank You , do you do that for broccoli too?
@@patriciamcmurray5926 Yes 🥦
What is the purpose of the cardboard you place around the stem of the seedlings please?
Those cardboard cabbage collars are used to prevent cabbage rootfly eggs from hatching. Cabbage maggots can be quite an issue over here.
Impressed
Thank You ☺
How was pot measured in inches
We eat the outer leaves gorgeous 👍
How do You eat them?
Thank You ☺🍀
What size containers are those? Thank you
Hello. These are 15l (4gal) grow bags.
WOWZERS ❤

Can the leaves of the Cauliflower be eaten ?
Hi what is the cardboard collar for. Cheers
Hello. It prevents root fly eggs from hatching. Cheers 😊🍀
Berapa kg berat per tanaman?

@@Liap wow...keren, mencapai bobot maksimal tanaman👌👍, adakah tips supaya panennya bisa serempak bersamaan?
I luv when they thin out and grow somewhere strange, LOL
Your videos are exquisite. How do you know when to pin the plants?
When the curd is abou 5-10cm (2-4") in diameter. Basically as soon as it starts to push out those inner leaves out.
Thank You very much! I am happy You like the videos! ☺🍀
Do you make holes in those plastic bags you grow them? The water needs to go out,right?
Which plastic bags?
How do you avoid the slugs and other bugs on the ones grown in the garden?
For pests I used neem oil. Well and for slugs, I try to prune bottom leaves that would touch the ground, and they always go for lettuce first anyway 🐌 But pruning bottom leaves really makes a difference.
Are the leaves edible too?
No
Well, You can eat young leaves around the curd, even raw in salad. But even though bigger leaves are still edible, they are rather tough and not of the best taste.
Yes they are edible. Do a quick internet search and you’ll find plenty of recipes.

Can I use something other then bone meal?

Why the carboard?
It prevents root fly eggs from hatching.
