I have one of those lemon thymes here in Oklahoma. I bought it from Walmart and planted it kinda towards the end of summer but it was still getting really hot. I just harvested it in the beginning of February with snow covering about half of the plant and the leaves and stems turned purple all over. The one or two stems I left are still alive and growing and I stopped caring for it probably in November or December. Oh and he isnt exaggerating about the strong citrus smell. Me being a new gardener this was the first thyme species Ive tried growing, Ill definitely be growing more of it.

24: 30 AFAIK all umbellifers will cross. He's talking about letting dill and fennel go to seed in his garden, they will cross. One should only have one flowering umbellifer in the garden at a time giving 1 mile between another flower (including wild stuff like wild chervil) if you want pure genetics (dill, carrot, parsley, fennel, celery, lovage, anise, chervil, cilantro, and caraway are included. It sucks but I definitely recommend your one big flowering umbellifer in the garden as they're so beneficial (except fennel it tends to not like to be around other stuff, your call on that.

I really enjoyed seeing this abundance. Living in London I obviously lusted a little after this amount of gardening space but even so, there are things I can adopt in my postage sized garden. I did have to chuckle when Jacques talked about the rue. His comment about a leaf in coffee being 'quite nice' sounded just like the understated way we talk about our gardening meets culinary successes here.

I did the same thing during the pandemic, I am a teacher and was off for one year, and never did gardening before, and I live in an apartment in Orange County California, I started experimenting with all kind of plants like potatoes, onions, celery, lemon tree, basil, rosemary and I have been dreaming to have my own land and planting in it.

Idk if this will be any help, but I noticed I have a couple of wild lizards running around in my garden. I watched one eat an earwig (i call them pincher bugs. I noticed holes in my leaves of pepper plants and mint early this year and now they don't have anymore. I guess natural predator to earwigs are lizards

What we do in South Africa for the pests you have is make a solution with dish washing liquid (same quantities as what you would wash dishes with) and just spray it over the plant, let it sit for two days and they all die. It doesnt harm the plant at all.

She got you maters? Dude, put a ring on that! And legit my wife takes our kids on walks and comes home with limbs, sticks, and stuff and has turned them into teepees for the plants. They've been co-opted by the kids and the pets, too.

I am really interested in the system for irregation. Looks like it's all neat and tidy and hidden? I've yet to figure out a good solution and feel like my watering systems are a constant challenge and never do the job correctly!

Simply amazing! I feel like such a wimp because I do so little with the land I have, but then again, it requires quite a bit of work and resources. Also I'm in southern Italy, and basically we go from winter to a hot dry summer.

I was shocked when I heard the rooster I didn't know that you could have roosters in the city when I lived in Oceanside I had chickens but I was told that roosters were not allowed in the city I guess your neighbors don't mind

Here in Oregon we put pine saw dust around the blueberry plant base to keep the soil moist as well as add acidity to the soil from the pine dust. Try that as well as having multiple plants for cross pollination

Do this past summer in New York my area got 42 inch of rain and that is a lot higher than usual because our average is usually like 30-inch a year I can't wait for spring to start so I can make a garden

This is so good to see! Thank you! I also was in an apartment until I moved to a farm a year ago. Massive learning curve and so many mistakes made, but loving it. Can't wait to see how it is going now.
