Gardening, Cooking & Canning Episodes

Welcome. A beautiful 25C this morning with a lower humidex expected than yesterday, but rain is in the forecast for the next 3 days, and free water within reasonable amounts is always a bonus. The squash continue to vine and are being trained vertically. The peas are still filling out. The Dill is still not cut down. The back row of beans is now doing better than the front row. The front squashes continue to evade further critter destruction and the Bird Shit Berry Bush has been providing fruit since yesterday. Please join me in the garden.

Welcome. This is a mindless video watching me spray turmeric on my plants to fend off mildew and disease.

Welcome. Things have cooled to below seasonal. An overnight low of 17C with a high of only 22C for the next 3 days with cloudy skies and hopefully actual rain. Found some bug eggs on a squash leaf – should of scraped them off but I ripped off the part of the leaf that had the eggs instead. More Squash vine training is underway. The Zucchini are flowering but I have yet to see a successful squash emerge yet. The peas are almost ready, maybe by the end of today I’ll have some for supper. The Bird Shit Berry Bush has now given me just over 200g of berries over the last two days. I will keep them refrigerated until I get enough for my first canning batch. I can’t wait! The survivor Sunflower is now officially “Butch.” The Morning Glories continue to climb and anothe pumpkin plant has popped up in the front. And I have a toad living in the front garden under a board propped up on the parapet. Maybe I’ll be awake enough tomorrow morning to remember to show you where it hangs out.

Welcome. Temperatures continue to be below seasonal. I was getting jars together for the Bird Shit Berry Bush (BSBB) and noticed that last year I had already done two batches of jam by this date. The garden in coming in later than last year. More zucchini flowers but no zucchini yet. First Squash flower has appeared! Some peas will be harvested today. The BSBB has given me just short of 400g in berries so far. Butch, the sunflower kid is still livin’. Please join me in the garden.

Welcome. It’s gonna be a beautiful humid day. The Rain last night provided enough water. More zucchinis are flowering, but no confirmed squash growth yet. No lost plants to critters or bugs yet. The Bird Shit Berry Bush has provided over 700g of berries and I’m currently making jam. Look for that video next! Please join me in the garden.

Welcome. The Zucchini are flowering more. At least one new potential to be the first squash. The beans still struggle and ¼ are flowering. The peas have given me my first taste for supper tonight. The potatoes are healthy. And Butch is a fighter in the front garden box. Approx 540 g in bird shit berry bush berries in three pickin’s. This Garden is blessed so far in finding a balance with the critters, mostly. 1/2 the dill has been harvested but you won’t see the change until tomorrow’s episode. I’m trying out a “Butch Cam” on and off, live cam of Butch the Sunflower. Look on my Channel to see if it’s live. Please join me in the garden.

Welcome. The Zucchini are starting to provide fruit. I got my first handful of beans today. Peas are also on the menu tonight. The basil pot the squirrel attacked got attacked again today after the shoot. You’ll see that tomorrow. The squashes now need constant vine monitoring lest the get out of their boxes. The front continues to grow and today is the 2nd Bird Shit Berry Bush jam batch. Look for that video in the near future, in the meantime, please see the link for the first jam vid below, as well as 1st & 2nd Breakfast as mentioned near the outro.

Welcome. The Zucchini aren’t ready yet and got staked so their growth can be directed vertically.. A few more beans popped up today on a plant. Peas continue to be harvested for every supper. The Squashes got their second Turmeric made with milk this time on the top leaves early this morning after doing the under-leaves yesterday. That should help with the mildew that is so prevalent in humid Quinte West, and help to deter those nasty squash bugs. I’ve only found eggs on two leaves so far, and always a week after the turmeric spray. Now that the growth is accelerating, more frequent sprays will be needed to do the new growth. Turmeric Spray: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LICyXCOU7xw The onions are starting to get big enough to harvest, but I will wait for the tops to fall over. I have more seed onions in the wings for the second sow. Butch the Sunflower still lives, the front box continues to grow into the jungle it will become by the end of July. The Bird Shit Berry Bush has given me 1.1 kilos to jam into the 3rd batch. Look for that video. Here’s batch #2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4tp5yozK-I Please join me in the garden.
