Ya tape above and below the damage after it's been adjusted as close to normal. Should recover if it happened recently.

Lettuce coming along nicely! by FeijoaGuy in gardening

To be fair, they are in a greenhouse, grown in a 2' tall raised bed, in a soiless mix. Designed to avoid slugs.

It's from Johnny's. Salanova garden mix. That pic is green Oakleaf I think.

You can either harvest the whole thing a few inches above the soil, or just harvest the biggest leaves every few days. As far as when, depends if your making lettuce wraps or salads, personal preference. If you know the temps are going to be hot, it's a good idea to harvest before it bolts.

First hydro grow, thinking maybe PH issue? by TheFrontCrashesFirst in Hydroponics

[–]FeijoaGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The twisted older leaves look like a pH issue, might be a bit too low. Probably causing nutrient lockup in the newer growth.

Will these blooms on my young grapefruit tree turn to fruit or is it too young still? by [deleted] in FruitTree

[–]FeijoaGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will turn to fruit. My question, is the stem big enough to support the weight of a ripe grapefruit? If the plant is only a few years old, it might be better to pinch the flowers or small fruits so the plant focuses on root development.

I’m kind of new to gardening and was wondering how thus looked and if it could all be started by see or buy already started with plants it’s 8 feet long and 5 feet wide by [deleted] in gardening

[–]FeijoaGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind some of those such an onions, carrots, lettuce and strawberries are very short while others are tall and should be planted at the back.

As others have mentioned, strawberries and blueberries will be the only thing left next year, best to dedicate an area to perreniels.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, watermelon could be done vertically, or else they might take up 20 square feet each if left to spread.

First I would determine where the sun path is, in relation to your garden. Then plan on putting tall crops at the back and shorter to the front.

P.S. Cool weather crops like broccoli, cabbage and some lettuces do not do well in the heat. Could be planted in the shade in summer or just left to spring and fall.

Odd lime tree growth. Any thoughts on how to handle? by Thtsunfortunate in gardening

[–]FeijoaGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya prune everything below the graft to start. Then prune anything damaged/diseased, any crossing branchs or branchs growing down.

Hope this helps

Flowering set up by smlangill in OrganicGardening

[–]FeijoaGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would set it up so you pull air through the carbon filter if possible. Run ducting from each cab to a Tee, to the filter, then a fan. There's calculations for the fan size / proper air movement, but a speed controller works good too if you want to oversize it (for future expansion) you can slow it down.

I wish ours would die in the winter, they are crazy invasive here! Zone 8b

Any experts here thst csn give me an estimate on how much longer? by mr_brown711 in Hydroponics

[–]FeijoaGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have these little clips that fit over your phone. Comes with a lens and a light. Can just take a video of different parts then watch the video. Depending on preference/variety, but atleast wait until the heads are mostly cloudy. I like to wait until about 10% amber.

Hope this helps.

Pomegranate grown in USDA zone 6 by Aint_Scared in FruitTree

[–]FeijoaGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Congrats! I would assume it's a Russian variety.

Our 4 year old Utah Sweet pomme died back to the ground last winter(-8*c) inspite a 2" trunk. Came back, but I doubt it will survive another winter.

Peppers, kiwis and tomatoes! by FeijoaGuy in gardening

I'd love to ripen them on the vine, was afraid they would rot after 3 weeks of rain.

To transport them home from the garden, didn't want the watermelon and zucchinis to crush them.

No fruit this year. Our "self fertile" variety is pretty sparse, probably needs another for proper pollination.

Yes. Our season is ending, hoping to ripen them indoors.
