In this video I was using a homemade hand seeder made from pvc pipe. I spaced the seeds best I could then thinned the plants out once they came up....... Donald
What a well behaved dog! I had to make a picket fence to keep my dog away. Last year I lost a couple pumpkin and cantaloupe plants because of the pup. Great videos.
Believe me she was just checking out what she'll destroy or eat next. If I dig in the garden, she digs in the garden. If she sees me harvesting something, she wants to do the same. A couple of weeks ago she ate 2 heads of Broccoli. I have a bucket of pecans in my shop, she will come in and steal one at a time and go eat them in the yard. She's comical at times but can become a pest real quick. Very nosy too...... Donald
Donald, you have the best videos!! Now Im gonna run out and plant my lettuce- i will look for the Green Towers Romaine!.. Ive planted my collards, broccolli, cauliflower and cabbages... 5 stars again!
Thanks Melissa Park Seed has the Green Tower lettuce. The onions are up and looking pretty good. If you are anyone out there knows how long it will be before the bulbs are large enough to transplant please let me know. Right now the tops are about 3-4 inches tall.
Usually the seeds of onions are planted in spring around here, GA, b/c it takes about 6 months for it to be a mature bulb- and we plant bulblets in the fall. But it sounds good so far with 3 or 4 inches of top growth(which is important for the bulb to become mature later)... they might be small bulbs this time but dont give up on em! They will probably be ready to pull at 6 or 7 inches tall, but wont be as strong tasting, since the bulb will be immature... which variety did you plant?
Hoping to have the bulbs large enough to dig up and transplant by January / February. They are the same kind I planted from bulbs last year "Candy". I love those 1+ lb. onions. Thanks for the info.
Hopefully that furrow would keep them in place. I have a pretty good mix of sand and clay soil which drains fairly well. But as you say a gully washer could do some damage. Could even damage plants that are already up, Ive seen that happen before.
Nice Furrow form!! Great posture and stamina!!! I say a perfect ten!!! Honestly.. You really need your own show. You have the talent. You are a natural. Thanks for your videos
I had been in the garden all day and by the time I shot that video my butt was dragging. Me being so short it didnt have far to go. My own show? What would I call it? Maybe I will get discovered one day before I get too old. LOL
another outstanding video sir,,,, well done... i hope you have a bumper crop,,, finished puttin dirt in my tin raised bed today... will plant in the morning, hopefully
I watched your video the other day and your setup looks real good, may keep some of those rabbits out as well. Need to do a video when your stuff comes up. Hope we both have a mild winter and make tons of vegetables. LOL
thank you so much for sharing your wisdom........watchin in east texas................

When we get a real heavy rain the plants stay out of the water. In dry spells the under side of the row stays moist longer....... Donald

Lookin' good! Hopefully you don't have any gullywasher rains. I don't think it would take too much to wash those tiny seeds away.
