Urban Survival Patio Gardening - Episode 4

[razaross2]

Urban Garden Solutions has some great patio & balcony gardening kits, self-watering and things like that. I've got 4 of the "Vegetable Factories" that come with the trace minerals.

Have you let any radishes go to seed for saving? If so, I would be interested in seeing a video on that.

By the way, I took your advice and saved some cantaloupe seeds from a store bought and will be trying my hand at cantaloupe this year.

Spinich: From seed, germinate them indoors. on a Napkin or cloth. Keep moist for around 7 days-ish. Then transplant them to container.

Those little 2" peat pots are ideal, to put the freshly germinated seeds into and keep indoors or in a greenhouse, where the temp is above 55 degrees...

Plant only about 1/2" deep.

Spinich is pretty hearty, but pre germinating them will give you a great edge and higher sucess rate.

This is true with a lot of veggies

Have Fun!

Those onions are planted too deeply. They will rot. You need to pull back all of the soil except for around the roots. The onion itself has to sit on top of the soil.

[WoundedEgo]

Did you put drain holes in that tub?

[YouMockMe]

My spinach has stopped as well. I might just take the last leaflets and call it quits.

[godsend420]

is there any problem w/ them being root bound?

[archtopone]

What about the aloe plant to the left?

[shannonnorfolk]

using leaves for mulch in cold weather is unnecessary and also keeps the soil from being warmed by what sun there is. Good call on the mixing containers though- they are perfect!

[AllsouthOutdoors]

Good stuff brother.

I've noticed that too with spinach seeds. They take awhile to pop up. My friend recommended to me to soak them for 24hrs prior to planting because of the seed husk is very tough. I didn't soak them last Spring when I planted and I waited almost a month for them to pop up but once they did, they grew incredably fast! Also, have you considered placing sticks in the 4 corners of your tubs and covering them with clear plastic? You'ld have a mini-greenhouse that would help 'em along! Good update Kev!

If you are not careful, you are going to have a oak tree growing up in there.

You can allways dehydrated the onions and start them over.

I LOVE the tip about using the cut onions to plant again.

[edthetallguy]

I love how you say 'onions'

[JosiahsBackpack]

Look at that big old aloe plant. Cool

I have a flashlight with basically the same mold but it is solar powered. It has a small solar cell that powers a nickel cadmium battery.

Keep them by a window, or even anywhere in a non dark part of the house and they are ready when you need them.

i thought radishes and cabbage and such are better in the late fall/ early winter? i could never get this stuff to grow in the summer here in west TN.

Kevin i look forward to all your videos and always learn something new from them, but i wish you would make your videos longer!!

[RCvolunteer1978]
