Planting 3 Hostas and Hosta Update
I have picked up two new hosta plants to add to my collection. I am also going to be moving a hosta in my yard to a better location. I will show you how hosts I planted as bare roots are doing three years later. I grow flowers and vegetables in Saskatchewan, Canada. My cold hardiness zone is zone 4. I have an average of 110 frost free growing days each year. The past few years have seen our temperatures go as low as -37C (-34.6F) to as high as 37C (98.6F). Come see what and how I grow in these conditions.

    • @PrairiePlantgirl
      @PrairiePlantgirl 3 дня назад

      It’s always best to plant, any shrub or tree that arrives bare root, as soon as you can after it arrives. They should come with an information sheet. Often it is suggested to soak the roots for an hour or two to rehydrate the roots, then plant immediately. If the weather is very hot, sunny, and windy you should keep the soil damp but not soggy for a week or two after planting and then slowly back off the watering until they are just getting a deep watering every week or two. The amount and frequency of watering will depend on your soil and weather. Slow deep watering is better less frequently than dumping a bunch of water on the surface everyday. A layer of mulch will help keep the roots cool and damp.

    You could have left that Garlic a little longer, you need to count how many green leaves you have left at the top, that will be how many intact layers of wrappers, 4 is ideal. Also you would have got better results if they had got some more sunlight and left longer. What is your average night time temps in June in your area?

  • @garlicandchilipreppers8533
    @garlicandchilipreppers8533 3 дня назад

    Your Garlic froze to death, there is no winter dormancy, Garlic only has one period of true dormancy and that is 70 days after harvest or foliar collapse, normally fall planted garlic will be inactive so long as the soil temperature remains below 5c and will start growing in the spring when it warms up. I plant hardneck garlic in the spring and have harvested Turban variety in 116 days from start to finish. Garlic only really needs between 120 and 150 days of good conditions, temperature and daylength to develop and mature. On the equator they can grow garlic all year round. Your Vernalisation period actually happens when the top growth is subjected to 30 nights below 10c.

    Looking good there! You mentioned roasting radishes. Never heard of doing that. Any suggestions on how you roast them? Always looking for new ways to use up vegetables instead of feeding the compost pile. Also, very interesting that you too have had challenges getting your broccoli to germinate well. However, this last showing along with my red and green cabbage did very well. I placed the containers right inside of my shed window out of the direct sun and they germinated in about 5 days. Go figure! 🤔. I hope your plantings mature in time before your fall frosts. I'm sure you'll have frost blankets ready in case they need more time. Thank you for sharing.

    • @PrairiePlantgirl
      @PrairiePlantgirl 6 дней назад

      When I roast radishes I just drizzle them with a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and stick them in the oven around 400 for 15 mins or so until they show a bit of colour. With bigger radish like these I would cut them into halves or quarters. Sometimes I give them this same treatment along with some celery and onions. Or if you want them a bit softer wrap them in foil and pop in the barbecue (I put them up on the shelf away from flames) while you are cooking other food and let them bake/ steam in their own juices.

    The fungus gnats are what killed/weakened your collards. I had an infestation of those little buggers this year too, for the first time ever after buying some contaminated potting soil. Even after I tried every remedy in the book, salvaged what I could and moved the rest outdoors, I was still regularly vacuuming up tons of dead flies for several weeks afterwards. So gross, a thing of nightmares, so always try to find the time to oven-cook your potting soil before sowing anything indoors., and make sure you don't have an infestation before you even dare start those starts. If that's too daunting, the boiling water method is pretty good too.

      You can replant from the current year’s harvest (or past years). Part of my successions is due to availability of the varieties of seed potatoes, part is because I don’t have space to plant them all at once, part is so I am storing less potatoes harvested in July all the way until next year.

      Yep! Here is a text description of the stages. I can't paste images haha. (I didn't write anything below this). "Overall Time from Planting to Harvest • Early-season varieties: 60-80 days • Mid-season varieties: 80-100 days • Late-season varieties: 100-130 days Growing Stages of Potatoes 1. Sprouting Stage (0-2 weeks) • Duration: About 0-2 weeks after planting. • Description: Seed potatoes begin to sprout and develop roots. Eyes on the seed potatoes start growing into stems. 2. Vegetative Growth Stage (2-4 weeks) • Duration: About 2-4 weeks. • Description: Green shoots break the soil surface, leaves develop, and plants grow rapidly. Roots establish and spread out. 3. Tuber Initiation Stage (4-7 weeks) • Duration: About 4-7 weeks. • Description: Small tubers start to form at the tips of stolons (underground stems). Plants continue to grow foliage. 4. Tuber Bulking Stage (7-12 weeks) • Duration: About 7-12 weeks. • Description: Tubers grow larger as the plant continues photosynthesis, storing energy in the tubers. Consistent watering is critical during this stage. 5. Maturation Stage (12+ weeks) • Duration: About 12 weeks onward. • Description: Plant growth slows down, and vines begin to yellow and die back. Tubers mature and develop thicker skins, preparing for harvest. Harvest Time Indicators • Early Varieties: Around 60-80 days, typically when plants flower. • Mid Varieties: Around 80-100 days, often indicated by yellowing vines. • Late Varieties: Around 100-130 days, after vines die back completely. By understanding these stages, farmers can optimize their care and management practices for better yields and quality of potatoes."

I put my beans (started inside) in the ground a week ago and the slugs have had a go at some of them already, so I've planted some more in pots inside and hope they will get big fast to resist the slugs. I have tomatoes in my indoor porch that are over 2 foot tall with 2 trusses on already and yet the ones outside are still not a foot high. That's the weather for you, can't do anything about it, just hope, some years you win, some you don't.

      Yes, we can’t control the weather. We work with and around it to the best of our abilities and hope for the best.

    My peas aren’t growing either! But I sowed beans weeks ago and they are well on their way. Can’t wait! Your beans will now germinate quickly! I had to sow parsnips three times! (old seed)

    • @PrairiePlantgirl
      @PrairiePlantgirl 11 дней назад

      Glad the beans came up and are doing well! Maybe it’s just not a year for peas. I was disappointed with the parsnip germination but not surprised. It just gave me a spot for turtle beans as I seemed to miss them in my plan. I have a relative that said she will have more parsnips than she needs so I won’t go without 😀

    Howdy, Prairie Plantgirl!👋 Yay heat and yay beans!😋 I plan to grow those Black Turtle beans someday.🫘 There are so many delish beans to try! I'm potting my sprouted cold crop seeds today. They sprout super quickly doing the paper towel method.👩🏾‍🌾 Does Buster eat green beans? I hope you get a lot of beans!💕

      Buster doesn’t eat beans. He loves peas! The black turtle beans are great, easy to grow, harvest and store! You do such a great job keeping up on your crop seedlings for successions.

    Thanks for this! I had to resow all my beans because I put untreated seeds into cool soil and the seeds rotted. I waited until the soil was in the mid 70’s to resow and they just about shot out of the ground!

      Yes beans do not like cool, wet soil. I’m glad the second try worked out.

    Good morning. We planted our beans on the same day. I too have been putting it off because of the weather. Another gardener said there isn’t enough time left in our gardening season. But I am confident we do because beans are relatively faster growing plants. Hope you are having a great gardening season and happy gardening.

    • @PrairiePlantgirl
      @PrairiePlantgirl 12 дней назад

      I find mature plants less affected by cold weather. Once the beans are at those final few weeks they might need to be covered at night but hopefully we will have warm enough days to get them to the end goal.

    Totally get your weather. Been so cold here in northwestern Alberta we had -1 last week at night. Everything is slow. Still have my pumpkins and squash in solo cups in the greenhouse. My peas are just coming up as well. Going to plant my beans this week. We only have a 90 day growing window so dry beans are darn near impossible. Although in saying that I am trying the Pea bean this year from eastern europe because of the short maturity date. We can get frost and do get frost in first week of August. So all my tenders have to be covered.

Your creeping thyme is flowering! Pretty!😃 Nice looking peppers! I'm so thankful our regular summer weather hasn't hit yet. Today I put broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage seeds in paper towels to sprout. It's time to start our fall crops. 💕

    Our tomato plants are doing very poorly. We had frost on June 18. I’ve never seen that in 24 years living here in southern AB. Spinach bolted,carrots barely starting to grow and pea plants are 12inches high.🤦‍♂️ and I can’t water anything because a huge water pipe broke in Calgary.😂 I thinks it’s likely that the garden will be a bit of a bust this year. Your garden is looking very good! 👍

      We have been flirting with frost this month but have been lucky so far. That water line break is a huge issue. Hopefully they can get the new pieces in there and get that water flowing without any more big issues. What a reminder to appreciate all that hidden infrastructure that keeps our cities functioning!

    Here in Ontario, we're having unseasonably hot weather, with thunder storms in the afternoons. My cherry tomato plants are over 6 feet tall, the the stems are 1 inch thick and the the fruit will be turning red any day now. The zucchini leaves are huge and for the first time, have no powdery mildew. I pruned out 50% of them twice, to increase air circulation.. Yesterday, I pruned my English cucumber vines. I am starting to harvest kale. I harvested rhubarb three times already. I froze half of it to use later. Blueberries, red currant and raspberries are starting to ripen. Half of my dahlias have been eaten to the ground by slugs.
