Oh THAT mnonster on the porch is an “Elephant Ear”. The bulb looks like a small bowling ball. lol
ps: The leaves eventually end up three times bigger than the one shown. It’s a monolithic beautiful plant. 🙂

Hello, just watching or making my way through ALL you videos (phew) and I just wanted to know what type of plant was on your right side in the video, not the pineapple but the other big leafy one 🙂 thanks

I don’t think the beans will produce enough nitrogen to support themselves as well as a leavy neighbor. They just can’t produce that volume of nitrogen….not in my experience. You could add a little compost or compost tea to assist them and have a perfect cohabitation.

If beans are in the same container as leafy greens, will the nitrogen be moved by microogranisms in the soil… or should I continue to feed nitrogen to the leafy greens?

Sugar Baby watermelons are delicious if you allow them to fully ripen. They’re also less than 80 days so they’re perfect for my area.

I get those gray (grey? grei?) spots on the leaves every now and then. I always assumed it might be fungus since it’s been rainy and humid, but it never harms them. The newer leaves are bright green with no spots. They’re running amok as I type this. I don’t worry about it and unless your plants are falling apart or not producing, I’d suggest not worrying.

Ray, what is causing the gray spots on your cucumber leaves? I have that all over my summer squash, cucumbers, and melons. Is there a better way to control it in the future other than just removing contaminated leaves, or is it not a concern?

Thanks for the compliment on the garden! 🙂
I think the aerated brewers are good, but I love making and using the steeped tea. It really works wonders and for a lazy bastard like me it’s perfect! lol

I planted the shallots around 8 inches to a foot apart. They multiuply into multiple bulbs fast unlike onions. They’re not crowing each other out though so that’s very good. I haven’t moved yet. That sucks about the blight problem you get over there Ivan.

I started with 24 plants. They multiple like rabbits. It only took a couple years to get this many.

In notice you have very good onions and that you part them very close. We, as everyone else in Poland, has had a terrrible year for cucumbers – some people have had to plant 2-3 times. With tomatoes, we often get tomato blight and not sure how to stop it. By the way, is this yoru new house or are you still in the old one?

wow! That strawberry bed is amazing! 😀 how many plants did you start with and how many years before it looks like that?!? I’m thinking of sticking my strawberry planter in the middle of a raised bed and letting it run amok… 😉

I’ve heard of garlic spray. I haven’t tried it yet. A friend of mine Donald has a channel called Webcajun. He has a demo of an effective easy bug spray. The video is called Home Made Bug Spray. He uses soap and peppers and it has a pretty good result. If you have a minute, you might want to check it out and see if you want to use his easy recipe for kiiling aphids. I hope this helps.
