    I love all the bamboo oasis tours. I had terrible bean beetles this year too, squish every one i see, but the reproce faster than i can kill them. Darrell- does your dog sleep in the house? I wonder if an outside dog would keep the deer and coons away.

    Petie goes wherever I go. If I'm sleeping, he's laying on the floor nearby, or beside me in the bed if a thunderstorm is passing through. I've had outside dogs in the past. While the raccoons were ravaging the corn, the dogs were sound asleep on the porch.

    Question, how does he get the bamboo poles situated in the ground? Dig holes and refill with dirt around the pole? If so how deep a dig? I have plenty of bamboo here and would love to utilize it

  • @darrellluck7230
    @darrellluck723013 сағат бұрын

    The poles are hammered into the ground. I cut just above a node for the top, so it is flat and repels rain. For the bottom, I cut at a slant to create a point. From up on a step ladder, I pound them into the ground, using a piece of 2x4 to take the hammer blow and prevent the top of the pole splitting. You need a bean circle. Have fun !!!

    I really liked your tutorial. I recently bought a home and Mullein was growing in my yard, I didn’t want to get rid the plants because I thought they were pretty and I was also curious about its flowers. Thank goodness for apple pictures and plant identification. I learned a lot from your video. I will be making a tincture from the leaves…thank you.

    How do I source local seeds

  • @darrellluck7230
    @darrellluck723020 сағат бұрын

    You need to find gardeners in your area. Talk to older folks. Talk to garden clubs and master gardener members. Run a free ad on LSN or wherever - "In search of local heirloom vegetable seeds." If at all possible, attend a seed exchange, if one should happen near you. I consider a seed exchange to be the best place to find them and you'll have a huge selection to choose from. Some county libraries operate a seed exchange year-round. (Making use of those old card catalogs). If you have Amish in your area, go talk to them. Good luck !!!

    My comment in the video that, "a little elf must have come out here and planted rattlesnake beans" is true! I am the elf. I remember now. Between poor germination and damage from deer and rabbit, I had to replant several times. The final attempt had me putting rattlesnake seed in any gap, since that type was doing the best at that time. That's why I was finding rattlesnake beans all around the circle.

    Thanks Kaye for taking us on a trip to Bomboo Oasis as it's always a treat to see what Darrell's growing now. Feeding the wildlife seems to be required if you have a garden these days but those bean beetles are just crazy. To those new to gardening, seeing the damage that can happen overnight sure shatters the picture perfect gardens on Pinterest/Instagram. Time to think about a fall crop to make up for some of the summer losses. Have a blessed weekend to you both..

    You know, I really don't bother with dried beans too much. I dry them for seed and I eat and can as much fresh as possible. I have some big bags of dried beans from a bumper harvest that I keep as emergency food, in case the idiots running the world .........
