My goal is to inspire and educate others to grow their own healthy food. Moving from curious to confident is exciting !

When we're willing and curious the rewards of growing our own healthy food are numerous.
Nature is generous and does most of the work.

Life is wonderful and for me living it to the full means that I am: hopeful, helpful and healthy.

    I never actually never had any luck with chives. Maybe because I am growing, I am chives in big pots or i over water or under water. I gave up on chives, i rather just grow green onions or bunching onions. I don't like plany chives in the grown because the gophers have eat some of my plants. I rather grow in plastic totes or pots.

    I just lay it out on a dish to dry, leaf by leaf. If I had a branch I'd dry it in a basket. Fluff daily until dry.

    I planted a bare root quince smyrna and pruned it back to 4ft. It grew to over 3m tall in less than a year and survived a 160km/h hail storm. Now it is winter, I am trying to work out if I am supposed to prune it back much or not. It has a main leader, a second leader which I think I have to get rid of as it's growing too straight next to the central leader, but then two other long branches going up then drooping down

    Great question - I typically trim the tops / tips of the canes to a fairly uniform height. Two reason: 1) i want to stimulate growth / fruiting on the lower portion of the cane. 2) i want to fasten / tie the top of the cane to a horizontal wire to secure the top.

    Would you get pollen stored in the top instead of just nectar and would drones get in and eat it?

  • @SustainableStace
    @SustainableStace25 күн бұрын

    Great question . . . Pollen is BABY FOOD! So . . . The workers will default to storing it nearest to the eggs/larvae which the Queen is producing. So . . . the pollen should show up near where the Queen is busy. This should mean that nectar is primarily what you get on the other side of the Queen Excluder.

  • @joncotn
    @joncotn25 күн бұрын

    @@SustainableStace ok, another problem that workers might come by…going through the queen excluder to take pollen stores into the brood nest would be detrimental surely? The pollen would probably get knocked off the baskets when passing through the bee space. It’s also another exit to guard, especially in a long dearth

    Yay, very helpful to know. A bit off-topoc, but do you know if the same also applies to shallots? I was told to just wait for the greens to die off to harvest the shallots afterwards.

  • @SustainableStace
    @SustainableStaceАй бұрын

    Great question! In the case of onions & shallots you want to harvest the bulb in the soil BEFORE it starts to get a bump/future flower up top. Once it's getting a bump/future flower up top it's already shifting its energy - it will drain the size / energy from the bulb in the soil and move that to the flower (future seeds) up top.
