SF Bay Gardener

Growing in the foggy hills of the San Francisco Bay Area can be a challenge, but I'm fighting the good fight. I'd like to grow enough to start donating food to those who need it. Right now, everything is an experiment, but I know things will get better! Food is growing everywhere!

    When do you know its time to harvest them? I planted a few potatoes that had sprouted a couple months ago and the plants are just huge!

    @@cateyelizabeth85 When the leaves and stalks begin to yellow wilt, and/or fall over that usually means that it's time to harvest. Also, sometimes you can dig down carefully into the dirt with your hands to feel for potatoes. If they're big enough for you, you can pull them. Check on Google to see how long your kind of potatoes should take to mature. If it's too early, your wilted plants might just need some water. Hope this helps. 🌸🌹🌿

    I have the same problem in my garden.🤨 I hate to trap them so I just live with them. Installed a few battery operated deterrrents and they seem to work where they are installed but the rest of my beds without … 😩 Thanks for the tips !

    Thanks for your response, @ammorales1524. We tried trapping them, but they were too smart. They took the bait and left the traps empty! We haven't tried the battery operated deterrents yet, but we'll keep them on our list of possibilities. Thanks again for watching. Take care! 💕🌹🌸

    Thanks for sharing your gardens. I believe the orange flower you were asking about could be 'Orange Bedder' Wallflower. (Erysimum 'Orange Bedder) One popped up in my garden after I had thrown in a seed mix and wallflower was one in the mix and I remember that is does have a nice fragrance. I took a screenshot with my iPhone and went to my pics and if you click on the leaf at the bottom and then look in the middle of the screen we can see plant and bug identification. It’s not always right but worth a try if you have an iPhone or a plant app.

    Thanks, @shampoo7112. I do have a plant id app. I was going to put the name on screen, but just got lazy. I think you're right about that flower, but I'll check my phone app and let you all know what it says next time I do a garden tour. Whatever it is, it's definitely a hardy plant! Thanks again for your help! 🌷🏵️🌸🌱

    Great video! I have a question about hardening off collard greens. Our temps were in the 70 and 80s the last few days and I started to harden off my collards. Now that they are down in the 30s can I continue to harden them off for a few hours at a time or should I wait for the temps to go up?

    Hi @hobbyguy! Collards are pretty cold tolerant, but if they're babies, I think I would wait until the temps get out of the 30's. Then again, I'm no expert. Best wishes for your garden!
