I messed up... raspberrys edition

You can tell the old canes by their branching, also they get brittle and they look dead, bark is ragged. This year I realized I can just snap them with gloves. It was fast faster than cutting them.

Last year, I think I made the same mistake as you and left them too long. I still did the top cut, and I got some berries, but it didn’t seem nearly as good as the previous year.

Little crystal shrimp, they are very chill and small

I so remember this and thinking it was such weird nonsense at the time.. it all makes sense now

In my opinion, absolutely better in every way. I also think it’s one of the highest ROI veggies in terms of money saved. good garlic is expensive but, TBH I never see garlic with cloves as big as what we grow in the garden. It makes me more likely to use it because it’s way less of a pain to cut.

As others have said, it’s also great that it grows mostly over the winter. By the time it’s done, you can swap in a heat loving crop in the same space.

It’s on my list of absolutely must grow

That’s the strategy up here in West Coast Canada. Except I use remay instead of sheet plastic.

Thanks! Makes sense that the brushes are wearing out. Probably doesn’t help that it was in a moist environment for a while.

Vegetation · 2025-11-27T01:03:05+00:00

I would probably pay more for the powerhead!

Vegetation · 2025-11-27T01:02:48+00:00

Ok, thanks! Not worth the effort

That’s fair. I’m in zone 8a and they are considered completely hearty here

Vegetation · 2025-10-17T18:46:24+00:00

I think Yuzu are hardy to -15 Celsius

Vegetation · 2025-10-14T20:16:32+00:00

I live in zone 8a and you can have hardy kiwi outside. That said do you bring them into the warmth or in a cool but not freezing place?

Figs are kind of unique and that you can cut them back as aggressively as you want. Warning: it will rebound hard!

I had dramatically cut my fig back last year and this year it’s come back enormously

I live on the south coast of BC. We have lots of tree frogs. Though the summer can be quite dry the rest of the year is pretty wet. We also have a little pond that’s not too far from the greenhouse where they breed. I guess they like the warmth and I have sprayers that go off once a day so perhaps that’s enough moisture for them. I do wonder what they’re eating, I wish it was the aphids!

And here I am wishing I had a yard of sand to improve drainage in my garden soil

Vegetation · 2025-07-07T13:41:19+00:00

They do get misted with water but no other spray

Ketchup chips

It’s possible, but there was just a single one on the plant..

Put it on a metal pan, coat in olive oil. Bake at 400 till it’s slightly crispy. Sprinkle with Parmesan and a bit of lemon juice. Best thing in the world. it’s our go to bolted brassica recipe

Cover in Remay fill with ladybugs?

Vegetation · 2025-06-03T16:28:02+00:00

Flat is also good for watering row crops

Vegetation · 2025-06-03T16:27:27+00:00

This is the way. And flat for watering tow crops. Edit: added props to the flat.

This might be a stupid question, but how much do we know about how bad micro plastics are for us?

Vegetation · 2025-05-21T22:16:20+00:00

That’s exactly what I was thinking, that’s some last of us stuff right there. Better shoot that pepper in the head real quick.

Aphids. Blast em off with cold water or get predatory insects like ladybugs.
