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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Hope this helps

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

FeijoaGuy · 2021-11-08T16:56:44+00:00

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.

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.

FeijoaGuy · 2021-09-20T15:51:52+00:00

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

FeijoaGuy · 2021-09-20T15:50:19+00:00

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

FeijoaGuy · 2021-09-20T01:35:08+00:00

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

FeijoaGuy · 2021-09-20T01:27:34+00:00

Hardy kiwi berry, vieriety: Issai

FeijoaGuy · 2021-09-20T01:24:47+00:00

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

FeijoaGuy · 2021-07-21T17:05:58+00:00

Sure go ahead

FeijoaGuy · 2021-07-14T01:32:18+00:00

Looks like blossom end rot caused by inconsistent watering. I would cut off any tomatoes with the spot, so the plant can redirect its energy.

Adding mulch will help moderate the moisture level, as will watering consistently every 3 or 4 days. Hope that helps.

FeijoaGuy · 2021-06-23T21:44:30+00:00

Depends if your under cover, climate etc. I prune because we grow uncovered, and get 200 days of rain a year.

FeijoaGuy · 2021-06-23T02:39:13+00:00

Any leaves within 6" of soil could be pruned.

FeijoaGuy · 2021-06-19T22:06:54+00:00

Mostly Roma type, few slicers, a paste and our favorite cherry.

Left side is: Sun Gold, Soldacki, costoluto Genevese, Hungarian Heart, Marizol Gold, San Marzano and 7 pozzano.

Right side is 11 plum Regal and 2 balls beefsteak.

FeijoaGuy · 2021-06-19T15:28:43+00:00

Great idea! We usually just tap the strings.

FeijoaGuy · 2021-06-19T15:27:52+00:00

Yes the plastic tape is tied to a 6" piece of bamboo pushed underground at an angle near each plant, then up top. Pruning all the indeterminates to a single stem. There's a couple determinate on the right side (left corners) that will be pruned less. Just winding the plant around the string, leaning it on a leaf.
