Thank you from California! I am an Australian native myself, and love growing grevilleas. My favorite is peaches and cream, and tomorrow I’m going to get after 2 of them that are too big. I was worried about hard pruning them bc I don’t want to loose them, but clearly it’s ok! Wish my neighbors hadn’t cut down their silk oak grevillea trees - loves those orange blooms in the spring. Thanks for your video!

Thanks for the video. I have some questions. The first is: Is simultaneous cross-pollination more efficient between two different verieties of avocado trees in the same field? Or can it also be done efficiently between trees of the same verieties? Which one is better? . Second: If it were better for simultaneous cross-pollination between two different verieties of avocado trees, which veriety would you prefer as the veriety that blooms simultaneously as a male and the Haas veriety as a female? Third: If we have a field with 100 trees totally, what is the appropriate number of male trees that correspond to the appropriate number of female trees or rather what is the ratio between them? What is the optimal distribution map for the distribution of those 100 trees in the field? Thank you very much in advance.

My yard is full of yuccas, if you don’t consistently prune them, they can get out of control fast and the roots are massive. My only problem with this video is that this guy is not wearing gardening gloves… ALWAYS wear gloves when pruning Yukkas, they are sharp as hell and can cut you deep!

You keep saying. "trim it back before winter" but you never trim it back... I'm on year three and I'm not really getting any asparagus. YOur lesson doesn't say how to to trim it back...
@iCultivate1Ай бұрын
Leading up to winter, it will die back. In other words, it will turn brown and appear dead. This is when you trim it back. Trim it back to ground level. I even know someone who uses a lawn mower to mow over the area - although I would not recommend this. So, when it dies off, trim the dead stems back to ground level. Assuming the crowns are healthy, as spring appears, you should have new asparagus spears emerge. I hope this makes it clearer for you.

Feed the plants when you stop picking. Not before! Energy don't go down to the crowns until the first ferns develop. So spring feeding is useless.

Hi Steve. Just found your channel! Amazing. We just bought a small acreage and are excited to learn and your channel a great resource. A question I have is where do you buy your seeds ? In particular perennial leeks. I appreciate you may have your own seeds but can you point me in a website direction ? Really appreciate it. Thanks nicole

I am so sorry I have taken so long to reply! I am really glad you like the channel, although things have been a bit quiet lately :( With regards to seeds, I try to save quite a few myself, but when I buy them, I usually do so online through the Diggers Club: www.diggers.com.au/products/organic-seed-collection. They have a great organic range to choose from. The Perennial Leeks! A favourite of mine. Unfortunately I have never seen seeds for these. I sourced the originals from Jerry Coleby-Williams when he had an open day at his property - Sorry cant give you an easier option. I hope you enjoy your small acreage!

Not so sure about how ripe your pumpkins really are, no seeds formed and the flesh is not as orange as it could be. In the subtropics our vines don't die but we still look to the vine as an indicator. We wait until the tendril close to the pumpkin has browned or died off before we harvest. Then sit pumpkin on the verandah to harden off for a couple of weeks. Another indicator with Kent or Jap pumpkin is when the skin looks less shiny, becomes dull as well as the pale blotches become less cream and more orange in colour. People constantly praise our delicious pumpkins, orange fragrant flesh full of flavor compared with store bought ones that are picked too early.
