I have tried broccoli leaves. I find them to be similar to collards. Since the leaves are growing on the plant for much longer than say gailan, they tend to be less sweet and less tender. I think the more palatable way to eat them is to braise or stew them-- like collard greens 🙂.

Lots of Pakistani and Indians are using rapini broccoli leaves as substitute for mustard leaves in transitional dish called saag. The tender leaves and flower heads (before they open or about to be open) are used.

@@VOTE4TAJ This is great to know. I have wanted to make a saag from ingredients from my garden. Growing enough spinach has been the challenge but rapini grows like a weed.

@@neverenoughdirt The videos I've seen prepare them like you said - collard greens. Some also mention to use the younger more blue tinged leaves. Will be a fun experiment.

@@lynnt3747 Happy experimenting!

My pleasure, Siri! Thanks always for visiting and the encouragement 😀

Tulsi can be tricky to germinate but once they do, they grow like basil (happily and easily when it is warm.) Thanks, well, if you're in a wet and humid, it may still be best to prune for airflow 😝. Thanks for watching!

@@neverenoughdirt sweet basil is doing good. It’s Tulsi that’s giving me hard time. Seeds came from MI Gardner, germination is slow, I am still waiting for first true leaves to be little bit bigger. Hopefully they will grow fast as temperature is now around late 60’s

@@VOTE4TAJ That sounds about right with regard to the temperature. Tulsi usually takes a week or more to germinate. The warmer temperatures will get it going a little bit. 70+ is ideal.

It is a very unique herb in texture and flavor. Very cool that you will grow it and try it!

Awesome!

what a rip. thanks for the info

Thank you, Sam!

I appreciate that :)

My pleasure. Thanks for your support, Babette.

Flip a coin? Heads, transplant it now. Tails, wait until the dormant season to transplant. Ideally, you'd want to grow peach using cultivated scion. You can use your volunteer peach as the rootstock. All the while you can wait and see how the peaches taste off the volunteer tree.

Yup, that's correct. They recently updated the growing zones. I am still in 10b.

It took me a bit to remember it. Ironically, it is how I normally know it as-- culantro.

For sure! There have been food finds from the curb. I only regretted that one time I decided to drop the kids off school first, lol. It was a large terra cotta pot, ha

@@neverenoughdirt I found oner like you said. nice.

It would worry me about nutrients stolen from one to another. I don't grow potatoes because they use up so many nutrients.

Ooo. That is good to know. Thanks for sharing your experience. I will put an oak back on the table.

Hello and congrats on inheriting a gh. First of all, if you havent had experience with a gh, I recommend that you give it a go for at least a year (if you can) before you consider putting money into it. The reason I say this is because I learned that gh do not behave in a way that most of us think that they do. They dont keep daytime temperatures at night but they can be helpful still at night by keeping frost or windchill effects minimal. That said, when consider replacing the panels, there are two thicknesses to consider 4mm vs 8mm. 4mm is going to be easier to work with. If you're more handy, 8mm is sturdier. As far as the how sheets are sold, I only know that they sell them as panels. There will be cutting involved (as seen in this video)

Yeah, Gold Nugget is like the cousin while the others are siblings. It would be interesting to compare how your fruit compares to the ones grown here. They age of the scion/rootstock and planting location definitely influences fruit quality.

The panel is holding up well. It got a little discolored. I haven't had issues with expansion or contraction. I went and replaced all of the roof panels. The vent panels were a pain but these thicker panels worked. The greenhouse door was especially a pain. It couldn't get the panel to fit in the grooves. The door grooves are tighter than the roof. I also bought panels to replace the long sides. These are pretty straight forward because they don't involve grooves/channels. I slaved a few for a video but I haven't gotten around to it .

Thanks, thanks for watching

When I see AZ gardeners, it is like looking into the future by two months. This is an old video of mine (oldie but goodie.) I have since learned a lot about growing tomatoes. Be sure to check my latest videos. One thing that I found worked well for the warm months is to grow shade plants near the tomato plants. I have used sunflowers, zinnia, cosmos, and winter rye

@@neverenoughdirt yes!!! I have to do shade clothes through the summer and only allow a bit of early morning sun. Last summer, even the Saguaros were dying due to extreme heat so I’m not sure if I’ll have to accept defeat for this tomato season. Do u sell any of ur seeds? I may need to purchase & seed indoors next month! Off to see those new videos!! Thx for your help Much appreciated!!

@@zoni36 I forget how hot AZ gets. Hopefully it won't be as hot this year. Seed sales, not at the moment.

Agreed! It is a good one to have. Thanks for watching, Siri.

Gaginang 😀

💯. Thanks for watching, Babette.

Thanks for the tip!

my memory is not good. i cant remember

Thanks! Please be sure to see what tomatoes we are growing this year.

​@@neverenoughdirtjust one important question; once you harvest the tomatoes then do you pluck out the tomato plants or you remain them their for next year harvest as well? And for how many years tomato plants can give you fruiting.?

@@gandharaorganicfoods it depends on the overall health of the plant. Keeping how it is cared for constant, the weather / climate will have a big determination. Generally there is one large crop for medium to large tomatoes. Smaller cherry tomatoes can grow longer. In theory though, tomatoes can be perennial in mild climates like California. However, it isn't good practice because it is more efficient to start with new plants each year. The space that the plant will grow but not fruit can be used for something else. As you harvest your tomatoes, make note of the health of the plant and the number of blossoms that it is putting out. If you notice that after a large harvest and there are fewer tomatoes on the plant, that is usually an indication that the tomato season has come to an end. With more experience and your climate supports it, you will be able to plant new plants for another tomato season within the same year!

Thanks!! Have a nice day.

Thanks for visiting 😄

Hey, Chinese Sausage 😉. I recommend tasting this one before buying, yeah.

I like how you are watching and commenting on my videos. Hopefully you noticed the improvement from the older videos 😝😬

Thanks!
