HAIL in the Garden! Winter Garden Tour
video description
Bananas: (in tropical costal Hawaii) pretty ratty after some torrential rain and wind storms to the point look destroyed and rebound just fine when it comes to fruiting and new Keiki. Or - the leaves can LOOK pretty bad with little effect I could tell.
Advise controlling Lemongrass aggressively NOW. Once established it is a problematic grass to control. I don't know technically what you might 'supposed' to do but I would put it in its own dedicated area or chop out rooted start & replant each year or two, alternate maybe with establish the start before removing the original.
It's nice to see something doing so well yours looked really great, but better a useful ornamental (IMHO) then take up valuable growing Vegetable space. I didn't have much use for the bounty and it LOOKED the best only second and third season. I'd cut it to the ground thinking curb the growth but the root ball just expanded exponentially. ( one of those things here that if it does well it can do too well. LOL)

I am a new organic gardener in Orlando Florida and would love some of your lemons. I started out with a mango tree I planted in 2015 and had the largest crop to the point I was giving mangos away to anyone that wanted them. I also have an avocado tree that was planted over 30 years ago which produced the largest avocados prior to 2007. The tree died down to only one shoot and I started nursing it back in 2014. This past summer I had some much avocados that again I was shipping them to family and friends in New York and all over Florida. I also have mongoes and avocado trees I started from the seeds that I have been giving away. scotch bonnet pepper tree that produced peppers all summer and still producing even with the cold weather. I grew turmeric and ginger which I dried and gridded for power. Started basil, thyme, oregano, scallions, onions and others herbs. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips for gardening

I would also take some of those limes!
Also, anyone who might be able to help me, I have an indoor lemon tree that I have had for about 2-3 months now. Recently it has been dropping leaves at first I thought it had to do with it being next to a heater but after moving it still continued. It is the end of December for me right now and I am in Kentucky. I looked at the leaves and it does not look like any kind of disease. I did recently have a spider mite problem but it has been fixed. Is this a normal thing or am I doing something wrong?

Your bananas are looking mighty deficient (from the yellow leaves and small trunks given their age) and I'd assume it's because you have 3 growing in such a small location. If yours does go to fruit, it may not be a substantial fruiting as a result. I'd recommend spacing out to 1 plant every 2-3 feet. Clip the haggard leaves off and use as fertiliser/mulch and give them some water. Mine are planted in-ground and I barely take care of them and get fruit and off-shoots yearly.

Mustard--make collard greens! In short, simmer/wilt down with any brassica greens with onion, bacon, and whatever spices suit you. Great greens don't have to be just collard, though I'd avoid spinach and delicate greens like arugula and lettuce. And limes--I'll take them all! Can't grow citrus is the Texas panhandle!

Mustard Greens are a great diet for reptiles. If there are any lizard shops in your area it might be worth giving them a call and see if you could donate the mustard greens for their reptiles. Or if you know any friends who have a Bearded Dragon they can probably use them too. Dark greens are great for Beardies.

Great video and I love the succulent terracing that your friend did! I think what would make these videos even better is some B-roll and some drone shots. maybe even shots from the roof since you said you love going up there! I would love to see things from an upper view, season by season!

Have you considered the chicken tractor on steroids? That would def help your chickens get their scratching and protein in, with the added bonus of compost. Eric Seider has an urban one going in Sacramento.
Looking forward to seeing what you'll have going in the coming year!

Cool update. How does Bobka the kitty get along with the chickens?
I got some cavendish banana plants at the big box store. Just had our once a winter big freeze here in Houston. Covered them up with a blanket. Tops died back, but hopefully the roots are still good!

Really enjoyed the tour. I m curious, looks like you live in the suburbs like i do. Have you had any issues with growing in the front yard or having chickens? I ve been thinking about expanding my gardening but have been hesitant on those two things.

I'd love to grow a winter garden. But, by late fall early winter I only have about 2 hours of sun if I'm lucky. One QUESTION, did you make or buy your arbor? If you bought it where did you buy it? I'd love to have one. Thanks and Happy New Year.

The winter greens look amazing, definitely looks like this will be your biggest harvest because of the extra cold weather. The pond might be a great place for a pollinator plants because the pollinators prefer habitats that have water nearby.

I started binging your videos earlier this year and I have to say that you and Jacques are the perfect pair. Hoping your announcement is about a warehouse in Canada so we get reduced shipping costs Cheers and Happy New Year!
