i see many faces in the radish patch...it comes from hell man!

[TricityX]

lol! I had to put my strawberries in jail, too! The first 3 red ones were eaten by birds, and then I got smart and put an old rabbit cage over them...

[november211975]

you can preserve peas in the pods and beans by pickling them and then covering with olive oil! or just freeze them.

[MrSybertek]

Yes it is pretty freaky ain't it lol. Maybe he don't like Radishes LOL.

[MrSybertek]

Dude did you put a photo of someone in with the layed down radishes? If you did not I am freaking out lol. Look to the right and up a little from the week or branch on the left side of the box and you will see a mans face NO JOKE!. I am being serious. I have people looking at this here and are saying you had to have put a photo in there to screw with peoples head. If not then jesus is in your radish patch lol. Seriously take a look because you may be able to make money on this video. Unreal!

[Praxxus55712]

@MrSybertek That is in fact Jesus. He lives in my radishes and sometimes in my carrots and won't leave no matter how nicely I ask. Moses can be found in the tomatoes. :)

[MrSybertek]

@Praxxus55712 LOL. It is strange how at that angle the leave makes a face. I thought I was buts so I had to have everyone else tell me what they see and they seen it so I at least know I am not having an acid trip lol. Hey any advise you can give me on carrots would be great. Maybe it is just hard to grow them in the south. Anyways back to check out the rest of your vids. I watch everything. You never know when you will here something you need to know. Again thanks for all your vidz

[Praxxus55712]

@MrSybertek Thanks for tuning in. I can't stop staring at the jesus face now. It's creeping me out. It really does look like a face.

[KC1971J]

@Praxxus55712 I don't see a face in the radish patch, but if you love radishes, you should try Tokinashi, (sp?)

which is a type of Daikon radish. They get huge, but not pithy or fibrous, and they don't bolt, even when it's over 100 degrees. If you shred 4-5 Daikon radishes, they will fill a quart jar. Try making some radish pickles. It's sort of like sauerkraut, except there is no cabbage. It has a strong smell, but mild flavor. A true health food, with medicinal value as well.

[MrSybertek]

Very nice carrots and lettuce. One thing I have not been successful at here in the south is carrots. I have tried for 2 years now but again very nice veggies.

[MrSybertek]

Hi, Great videos, Hey make sure when you do use compost tea that your making it the right way. If you just putting your compost in the barrel with water and letting it sit then that is not compost tea. That is called compost leachey. (Leach-eh) Compost tea has to be brewed for 24 hours by using air stones with an air pump to bubble in oxygen which multiplies the microbes by millions. If your not brewing it by the process I described then you are not getting the true value. I do it every week.

[Praxxus55712]

@MrSybertek The method I use is called "Passive tea" or "Steeped tea". It is a centuries old method still used predominantly in Europe, Asia and northern Africa. Brewed tea is the method you're speaking of. Brewed tea is a relatively new method invented in and used almost exclusively in the United States. Both methods ate true teas and both have massively beneficial results. :)

[MrSybertek]

@Praxxus55712 Well your method works great after seeing the rest of your vids. I am impressed by how healthy everything looks. I have exceellent results until everything gets to just before blooking then here in Georgia we have so many pests that it is a nasty fight to stop them from destroying everything because I do not use chemicals either but I now started to use very little BT for the catepillars and I found seaweed will get rid of spider mites so that is working. Vine borers are bad here.

[Praxxus55712]

@MrSybertek Georgia? Holy crap you live in the land-o-peaches?? I will give you one....no two million dollars if you mail me a peach. The garbage they sell in stores here would make you puke. You know what I'm talking about. Real Georgia peaches are just fantastic.

[MrSybertek]

@Praxxus55712 Yes the peaches are nice here and the pecans as well. I have four 100 year old pecan trees on my property so every year, well except for this year because it is the off season, we usually get about 1000 pounds of pecans. Too many to eat so we sell most. The last two years our back yard we turned into a garden which is only a half acre size garden but works good. I am originally from Michigan, wish I was back there. Gardening was much better there then here.

[Brndon076]

what makes radishes to bolt execpt heat?

[Praxxus55712]

@Brndon076 There are a few reason this could happen.

1: Overcrowding of radishes or weeds.

2: Too hot during the day

3: Not enough water.

4: any combination of the 3 above.

[kathinspain]

I also wanted to give you an idea of what to do with your glut of lettuce. Here people make lettuce omelettes. Just fry up chopped lettuce with some onions and then make it into an omelette or scrambled eggs just as if it were spinach. If you really want to be frugal you could probably fry up a big bunch and then freeze it in little one-omelette-sized batches. They taste really good and it's good when you're really sick of eating salads day in and day out!

[Praxxus55712]

I'm growing romaine lettuce this year. It's a bit more substantial in texture than the buttercrunch I grew last year. I'm definitely gonna try your idea. Thanks!

[kathinspain]

Does it not matter if you plant different types of peppers (or whatever) together? I think I heard somewhere that they cross-pollinate and you get funky veggies. I also heard the same thing about planting, for example, cucumbers and squash close to each other. I heard you can end up with a strange hybrid "squashumber" or something. Is that true? If it is, how far apart do things need to be to avoid problems like that?

[Praxxus55712]

No need to worry about cross-pollination and Dr Suess type veggies unless you're saving the seeds. Cross-pollination only affects the seeds that are produced from the cross-pollination, not the fruit that is produced the same year as the pollination. The plants that sprout from the seeds you plant THIS year will produce whatever fruit is set in their genetic makeup, which was determined from LAST year's pollination.

"Squashumber" made me laugh. That's a pretty cool name for it. lol

[lau211190]

they formed leafs they just didn't form fat roots/bulbs

and i gave them one extra month

[Praxxus55712]

There are a few reason this could happen.

1: Overcrowding of radishes or weeds.

2: Too hot during the day

3: Not enough water.

4: any combination of the 3 above.

I had the exact same problem last summer when I filmed this video. This year I'll plant sooner when it's cooler and I'll make certain I don't let them get crowded. I think crowding is the most likely culprit. Try thinning them out. :)

[lau211190]

cool...

my radishes and carrots didn't work out, i don't know what the problem is, do you have any idea how to do it right?

[Praxxus55712]

They didn't work out? In what way? Did they not sprout or did they just not form fat roots/bulbs?

[crazyKUSHman101]

hey budy when did u star the row of peppers?

iv tryed 2times and it didnt work eggplants !! right on

[Praxxus55712]

The peppers I started from seed in mid may. I plant them about a half inch deep. They need warm soil to sprout. They don't handle cold weather well.

[akeemthashiz]

Lol I don't really do food plants, But I do have my own green house in my room, lol!

<3 AkeemShiz

[MistahFen]

@akeemthashiz lol growing that herbal greenery, right? Keep on growing :)

[markhess]

Nice update Ray.  Your garden is looking very good. I have Hungarian Yellow Wax peppers too; warning - mine are hot! However, they make good salsa!

Keep up the videos

[Praxxus55712]

Oh crap I hope there's such a thing as MILD hungarian wax peppers because if not, I have just made a huge booboo. LOL. These were sold under the mild pepper section so I assumed they were mild. I don't mind hot peppers but not in the quantitity I'm growing. Mui caliente!

[JustForTheLongFaul]

Grow some Chickpeas.Chickpeas are a helpful source of zinc, folate and protein they are wonderful. Ad a damn healthy source of carbohydrate. Cante beat them with a little salt and butter.I grow them

[beutifullady]

Garden is looking great. Thanks for sharing.
