@@royworks7986 it is crazy how we can pack a bunch in. They grow better this way in a warm climate!

@@dallasd3023 thanks!! It has been fun exploring different ways to grow.

Glad I could help

If the corn was still sweet, the chewiness you experienced was likely nomal. Bantam is an old fashion corn and has old fashion chewiness. The old fashion quality also includes a very tight harvest window. The corn does not stay on the stalks for long. If left too long, the sugars become starch. You will know it is the case when it loses sweetness and moisture.

@@johnnyshoe2229 thanks! The garden gave a bunch of good stuff for the party yesterday. I did the squash two ways: roasted it and also put it in a lamb braise. 😄

That is correct, it is also aka Vaniglia Sanguigno Acidless Sweet Orange. Sometimes it is also marketed as "Mango Orange." Saying "Vanilla Orange" is less tongue twisting, lol.

My pleasure 😊!! I am glad that you found this video.

Amazon 😉

@@neverenoughdirt $?

Thanks for the advice. Having the ability to reach inside the cage was something discovered soon after, lol.

@@eyeonart6865 correct!

@@lynnt3747 'huckleberry gold.' they are pretty interesting indeed. This is the third time that I am growing them. I had to buy the seed potatoes again this year because I somehow lost a harvest. I'll keep everyone posted on how I think they taste. The first time I had them, I wasn't impressed. My initial impression was that they had an old after taste-- kind of like diet sodas. This was my memory from a few years back so take that with a grain of salt.

​@@neverenoughdirt Diet soda after taste? Yech. I hope they work out this time.🤞

Yes!! It is always frustrating when critters don't finish the fruit entirely before moving onto another. When something ate the only two peaches on our new tree, somehow it didn't sting as much because they left only the pits. Luckily we have little pressure on our tomatoes *knock on wood.* Since you mentioned that they go after fruit for water, maybe this is so because we have a shallow pool for the duck-- they are drinking from there instead; maybe.

Thank you

I don't have the scientific reason why the citrus oil tastes bitter to humans. The oil has a lot of citrus scent but it tastes bitter.

It is so good!

Can I ask what brand your greenhouse is? (As I will like to know the brand that has panels that heal themselves when washed?)

@@neverenoughdirt The exact same brand. If you're going to be under trees etc, you're going to have to wash the building more often. I rinse mine off quite a bit.

@@M2Chill4U-uo3io Not many are going to think to wash their greenhouse. Thank you for sharing how you maintain your gh.

Sorry about your tomatoes. Hopefully next year will be sunnier. Pushing back the sow date by at least a few years may be a safer bet. Yeah, I am happy to get something from this planting. Speaking of June, I recently sowed for a couple of plants for a fall harvest.

@@neverenoughdirt Look forward to seeing how your June plantings work out. 🌱

Interesting. It didn't occur to me to make a tea with it. I'll will have to give that a go. Thanks for sharing.

Still growing it, yup. The only one that got dropped is 'Kapoor' because I forgot to save some seeds 😝

I have been searching for krishna basil for 30 years as I didn't know its english name until last week. I could never forgot the flavor of the soup from my grandma's cooking when I was young.

I don't. I live where there is a lot of sunshine to drive the growth of side shoots. Perhaps if I grow where there isn't enough sun, I can see a case for classifying them as suckers and removing them early.

@@neverenoughdirt ok thank you..

Me too. I was not expecting blight at all. It definitely humbled me; I'll need to be more mindful next time. Where I grow, I am in this small climate pocket where we can experience an extended period of gloom. On the flip side, we are pretty wind sheltered. But when it is not cloudy, the sun is intense. The general info for our parts is to prune but that creates a sun scald problem. I agree, foliage is important and foliage is an issue when plants are not healthy. Experience will garner healthy plants. On the note of foliage, I also found that multi stem is the way to grow for home gardeners. I keep at least a couple of main leads. Then I prune according to the conditions throughout the season.

Any time!

Thank you Siri. I was able to get in a couple of more varieties than my limit 😉. Thanks for sharing how your tomato is growing. They are very resilient plants. Yellow Brandywines are pretty and delicious. I am also glad to know that you're back in the garden again. It also looks and sounds like you will have a good amount of biomass; it'll eventually turn into nice compost 😄

Oh yes, the garden is about 90% biomass at this point after nearly a years worth of neglect♻️😂

@@sirilorece 😁😅

Hello. I cook freehand so I don't have a recipe per say. However, I did find the following recipe: thefoodietakesflight.com/spicy-cucumber-salad/ Do note that you can cut the cucumber into discs or like French fries; in addition to that recipe which smashed them.

Thanks for sharing.

Again, sorry that you're looking to replace your tailgate. I got the budget paint job $400. Parts were close to $2000 (with 25% off MSRP through Longo Toyota in El Monte (which can be a drive from where you are.) Your question reminds me that I need to add up my invoices for a more accurate cost figure to share.

😝🤌

I am sorry this happened to you. Likewise , I know how you feel. Nowhere is safe these days-- this is a difficult reality to accept. Moreover, for the few minutes of work, they are making $300 to $500 but it costs us or insurance $1000 (for aftermarket parts) and up to $4000 for Toyota certified.

Thanks. I took a few measures, yeah. Starting with adding vibration sensors and additional cameras (with settings for alerts during the prime hours.) This is not something I prefer but they decentralized crime prevention in my area-- making crime prevention up to the individual citizen. I got a tailgate lock-- I won't name the brand because I think it can be defeated. It is made of aluminum and it can be hammered or cut. A product like that can lead people to a false sense of security. It is on there as a security layer. Also, it can be defeated because it is a common product. When something is common, it will get figured out. Speaking of, I modified the locking mechanism to make it harder to shim. I also did one other thing. Sorry that I can't share. Mum is the word because if it's known, it will be defeated. (Aka, security through obsecurity.)

Thanks. Unfortunately, my number came up and I was very surprised by how quickly the lock can be defeated. Hopefully this video gets around to inform other Taco owners. I had now idea those model years are popular to steal.

There is a tomato for every situation. I am glad you found a good one for your BLTs!

I has been a few years since I have grown a decent plant. I have not had good luck (a critter digging them out or cloudly weather.) That said, my memory is that they a slow to take off. After Memorial Day, the sun and soil gets warm and they start to take off. My plants are doing good this year and it has been about 6-7 week, The strongest one has a four foot spread. They are heavy feeders. Try feeding them something water soluble once per week. The leaves need to be at least hand size. If smaller, the plant is not getting enough nitrogen and probably stunted around this point.

I appreciate that! and thanks for the feedback on the music, Siri. If ever someone has a tailgate that is not work, I bet you'll be able to give some pointers, lol. This lemonade stand is open for business! ;D

No music 👍

Did you go to Longo and order parts through them ? Or did you order yourself online ? Also was everything delivered to you or did you have to go pick it up ? I have to build out a 2015 tailgate. I see prices vary between dealers and Longo is cheaper than Frontier here in Santa Clarita.

@@gusm2752 I initially called them but was put through via texting. I had no what were all the part numbers needed. They emailed me with an invoice and the parts they told me that I needed were about 98% accurate. I did go back to return unnecessary parts. The parts that they didn't know to include, I ordered through their website. This is why I put this video up, there are many parts for my generation and not everyone has an accurate account of what is needed. Do note that you may have the same experience with the accuracy of the parts needed. It is like a home improvement/repair project. You usually have to go to the hardware store a few times, lol

@@gusm2752 my initial order was a pick up. I did a few online orders. Some small stuff, I sprung for delivery (for convenience.)

@@neverenoughdirt Thank you for your feedback. It would be easier and a lot cheaper to buy a used one There are plenty on Facebook marketplace but I’m against rewarding someone for their thievery Who’s got tailgates for sale unless they’re stolen ? And I doubt the Sheriffs department will recover mine. They still haven’t even returned my calls after two months and they even have the vehicle make license plate and Costco has the video of it being stolen. You did a great job with the video on yours I wonder if most parts are the same with my Gen 2 2015

Thank you for watching and your comment. I am really happy that you enjoyed this.

Thanks. He used a shim to go between the tailgate frame and the plastic handle. Then it is a tug at the lever and the handle is unlocked. I realized this when I inspected the handle assembly. The security measures were designed during different times; when tailgates weren't sought after. P.s. a genuine replacement is sold in parts. I just put together my replacement and I am working on a video showing how it is assembled.

That is frustrating when they dont sync the male/female blossoms up. I notice that they tend to do this early on and eventually sync up. Growing indoors, that is interesting.

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.
