How smart you are! Well done.
Can't understand you with the background music I fail to see why it's so needed in utube land...
Thought i found this but then noticed mine has leaves in bunches of 3
Hmm. I wonder what you found.
Ya, also found some knotweed looking weed with purple flowers. Everything but the one you were showing 😞
That's a wonderful looking tea brewing mug. I remember seeing it in the black raspberries video. Where did you acquire it? Also, thank you for the interesting and helpful videos.
Thanks. This mug was a gift from my husband he got it at an artisan Chinese tea shop in Canada
For your health
Thank you. Same to you.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thank you for watching :)
Garlic looks good. Thanks for the recipes. 🧄
Thanks for watching!
How do you recommend drying it?
Right. I was wondering the same thing
Great question. We'll make a separate video about it. In a nutshell there are 3 options to dry garlic. 2 are more standard options and the third one is what we have discovered that works in our rea. 1 - Garlic is tied into bundles of around 20 bulbs and hung in a well-ventilated area away from sun 2 - Garlic is spread out on a table in a shaded but well-ventilated area to dry. What we did with our garlic last year - we'd pull it and just let it dry with roots and everything in our shed (well-ventilated and out of the sun) when outer skin of the garlic was dry, we'd remove excess soil and we put our garlic with dry tops and roots into a cardboard box in a corner of our shed. That garlic has lasted the longest for us without spoiling. While on the topic of keeping garlic for use over the winter, there are 2 garlic varieties - had neck and soft neck garlics. The hard neck variety that you see growing in our garden has a more complex taste and is generally considered gourmet garlic. Unfortunately, this type of garlic isn’t designed to be stored for winter. So, we eat it first. The soft neck variety (typically what’s sold in the store) generally has a plain garlic taste, but it stores over winter very nicely. Next year we’ll be planting a bit of both (hard neck and soft neck garlics). Hopefully this Music Garlic that we have now (whatever will survive - we’ll disinfect the cloves and plant it again, hopefully it’ll start to become better adapted to the environment.
I found some in my yard and u want to start gardening them fully
Thank you. Wonderful video!
Thank you :)
I do all the composting for the company I work for. Any large composter that accepts private yard debris can't claim to be all organic because they don't know if lawns were fertilized or pesticides used on trees. Just keep that in mind.
Thank you so much. That's helpful to know.
That is a total bummer. Is there a Better Business Bureau you can report that compost business to? Best wishes to you for your new vegetable patch.
It is a bummer. I was bummed out, I told my husband that I'm done farming. But after a couple of days of sunshine and vitamin D, my mood changed and I'm ready to keep on farming.
Please like and share the video, it'll help our channel grow :)
So sorry you had to go through that, the compost supplier should be held to account. I suggest planting nitrogen fixing crops in the nonorganic area like cowpeas, runner beans.
Thanks for the tips. Yes, this is what I was thinking, just covercropping this area for these 3 years. I did try to direct seed into this compost, but even with proper watering (overhead and dripp) once stuff sprouted, first set of leaves would turn dark red and it'll wilt shortly after sprouting. Hopefully over time fungi and microbes will do it's job to break it up into something that will be able to grow produce in the far future.
Wow the property is looking grea
Thanks :)
This is Persimmon flower?
Yes! You are correct. Those are persimmon flowers!!! Persimmon flowsers so late in the season! This year will likely be our first season where we'd get to pick persimons from our tree.
@@YouCanToday I planted last year a few young hybryd Persimmon verites in my garden. My sea will also have flowers next year
@@sawekstachu1580 That is so cool! I love persimons. One of my favorite fruits. The variety that I have is called Nikita's Gift. We are in central Pennsylvania, this variety supposed to be cold hardy to handle our cold winters.
@@YouCanToday I have Bozhy dar, Rossyanka,Dar Sofiyivki. I live in Poland. I think I'm in the zone 6. I hope my plants survive. I would like to do something like food forest in my garden with lots of interesting plants.
@@sawekstachu1580 Oh wow. That's so cool! Thanks for sharing :) I'm also in zone 6!
My Nanking cherries are half the size of yours. Bummer.
Actually, from what we gather now we believe that those might not actually be Nanking cherries. I think the nursery that we got it from might have confused the names, or we did. The last of our research points to them being Korean or ground cherries instead. We did get 4 plants of true Nanking cherries this spring that we planted on our farm. We’ll keep an eye out on them and hopefully next year will be able to make a short video update on how they produce. Thanks for following our channel 😊
Around here if you catch someone in your morel spots you trap the area with nail boards.
Hahaha. Competition for morels in PA can be vicious.
Did you guys move?
No. We owned this land (separate from our house) for a good while now and finaly decided to turn it into an organic farm.
No. We owned this land for many years, and finally decided to turn it into an organic farm.
Is it a Teutonic umbrella?
Wow the property is looking great. Can’t wait to watch the business develop.
Thank you!
Nice video, i didn't consider anything like this. Closest thing i like is Tabasco!
Thanks for watching.
thank u very much
Thanks for watching!
I’d love to know how you did all this!
We are in process of building a certified organic farm. We go through the steps if you want to see, we have Nibblescapes Playlist. Thanks for watching.
Wow! Amazing!
Glad you like it!
Thank you. Wonderful video! We also have oregano growing on our balcony. We dry it for use as a seasoning and now I’ll try to make some oregano vinegar with it.
Thank you. Good luck with it :)
Where in Central PA are you? My wife is a huge fan of your channel and we live in Lebanon. She’s been learning a lot from your videos. Please respond back whenever you can thank you
Hi! Awe! Thank you for watching our channel! We have a cert. organic farm that will be open in Mifflin County. As soon as our farm is open to the public we will make a video with a link to exact location :) If you would like to be in the loop sign up to our newsletter nibblescapes.com/news
Congrats on your amazing flora and garden/ food forest!
Thank you!
Can you prune your offshoots in fall/summer instead of early spring?
You can. The purpose of the spring prune is to create a shorter fruiting cane that results in larger more juicy berries.
You need a baby sling
I do woodworking and end up with tons of sawdust. Was told that I shouldn't put it on the berry beds because it will raise the PH and the soil won't be acidic enough. I'm in NE Ohio, my berries were transplanted summer of '22 and doing fairly decent, but some are slow going. Composted with hummus/manure and some additive for acid loving plants. Any other tips or is it just a waiting game? Thanks. :)
Actually, sawdust and woodchips make the soil more acidic and that's what raspberries love. Manure isnt the most ideal for raspberries. It tends to burn their roots.
@YouCanToday I'll bear that in mind. Was looking into chicken fertilizer "Coop Poop". About half of my 17 plants seem to have multiple primo canes popping up, while he other half do not. Though, some of the healthiest looking plants are ones that don't have any new canes yet. 🤷♂️ Lol
Very nice, Berks county is in 6b also. I currently grow Mac Black & Niwot black raspberry's. I guess I need to make room for a row of Jewel 🤔
Hahaha. Once you get one variety you've got to have them all.
Can I plant black raspberry near blackberry? I read somewhere to not plant black raspberry near red raspberry due to aphids not sure if that's true or not
In my experience black rasberries and blackberries do well in neighbouring beds.
This was a great video because you did a great job and there are not a lot of info on this type of raspberry. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I notice that they are lumped together with red raspberries, although they are quite different in the way they grow.
Well done, thanks for the advice! I have a short row of wild black raspberries and i am adding two new varieties; New Logan and Cumberland. In Wisconsin we call them blackcaps and they are an important ingredient in my cherry wine!
That's really cool!
Do you have to spray these bushes ? I just bought one bush last year and thankfully bought another this year . I did not know I had to have 2 for pollination. Thank you 🙏
As far as I know they are disease resistent and insects don't really go after them. Ours got damaged by the cicadas but I haven't really seen any other insect damage.
Great video! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
What part of PA are you in?
Central
I have just planted my 30 canes of raspberries. I love watching your videos, your voice is calming and I am learning a lot from you. I will keep on watching. I am looking forward to see what happens to your raspberries and your blackberries.
Thank you!
Greetings from Wisconsin, and thank you for the informative video! We call them blackcaps here. I've grown black raspberries for years but didn't pinch them back, now I will. I am adding two varieties this year, Cumberland and New Logan. I love eating them fresh, and they are an important ingredient in my Montmorency cherry wine along with rhubarb, it really makes that flavor pop!
That's a cool nick name for black raspberries! That wine sounds like tastebud symphony :)
Shit I told my wife to prune all the blackberry early spring because they were too long and I thought but prunting all of them they would get bushes like raspberries but then now I realized it won’t…. Is there any solution or just wait til new sprout grow out???
oops...you'll have to wait till they grow new canes LOL
I seen you berry patch and literally caught my breathe. My patch is nothing compared to yours. My dad had a red raspberry patch 3x the size of yours and we were out there picking constantly. My dad had a recipe to get rid of the black beetles that love raspberries. He made up a concoction of white vinegar, sugar and water. He pounded tposts in ground and wrapped protection around top of post so jar doesn't break. Have to fill glass jar 2/3 full of solution. Has to be glass cuz bugs are attracted by scent and when they get wet they can't climb back out and drown. First couple days you will have to strain out bugs 2x a day with strainer and pour mixture back into jar and reuse. After a couple days the population will decrease and then you can strain less often. Make sure you watch level of bugs in jar cuz they will make an island of bodies and they won't drown anymore. When you have a bucket of dead bugs discard of them far away from your homestead cuz you don't want bugs being attracted to the dead bugs but go to the solution in the jars.
Wow! That's a great recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Your garden is beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much 😊
I find your channel interesting and useful. Do you run any other channels on KZread?
Thank you! Not yet :)
It's your life, it's up to you. A popular topic has been for years foreigners living in strange countries sharing their experiences living there. Most often those channels are run in their mother language for their fellow countrymen. In the past 5 years I have seen hundreds of such videos and learned things I would have never learned otherwise. Returning to the topic of growing plants I would like to comment on honeyberries. If you find yours more sour than any other berries, you might have a sour variety. A few of the varieties considered being the sweetest and tastiest for fresh eating are Aurora, Boreal Beast, Boreal Blizzard, Blue Banana, Jugana and Zojka. The bushes need full exposure to sun in order to have a decent crop of large and sweet berries. Some people make the mistake of picking the berries too early. The unripe berries are purple on the outside and green on the inside, whereas the ripe ones are blue on the outside and purple on the inside. From the colour break it can take up to 3 weeks until the berries are fully ripe. I myself currently have young bushes of 11 varieties. I like the taste of the 2 varieties I had the opportunity of tasting so far, and am excited to see nearly all of my new bushes blooming this spring. I think honeyberries are going to become my personal favourite of all the berries I have.
Thank you thank you so much. I have beautiful black raspberries but never knew how to care for them everyone else goes into such complicated explanations that I give up trying to decipher even what they mean you showed us as you did it and this was the best black raspberry pruning video I have ever seen and I am 62 years old. Thank you from my raspberries they finally will have a season will they will not be on the ground because I was afraid to prune them for lack of a harvest. My black raspberries give me raspberries 3 times a year but I only get to pick two of them in the last one I leave on over the winter for the birds so I was looking for a pruning explanation for the springtime in my zone 3 here in North Dakota. ✌️🕊️🫶🌠🌏🌍🌎🌌💫🫵🌱
Wow! Zone 3!!!! That sounds cold! Thanks for watching and for the comment. Happy black raspberry season!
Can I do the whole honey thing with strawberries as well?
Absolutely! We do that for our strawberries, plums (cut and pit), apricots, blackberries, blueberries, cherries...
All my flowers died last year, covering them this year
That's so sad. We have to cover ours every year. They flower way too early.
Have you tried Bt ?
I live in Central Pa! I'd love to know how close you are to Shippensburg.
Hi, That's so cool! We are about 1.5hours away. Thanks for subscribing to our newsletter!
Nature is so amazing!!❤
It sure is.
