  2. The proof is in the garden; and yours looks luscious. I've just started my own on my apartment porch. I live in Boulder, CO, where the weather can be change on a dime at times. I didn't know a thing about this; but just took a stab at growing a bunch of veggies in the same small area. I've got yellow spots, critters chewing on my stuff, and plant stems that weren't strong enough to keep the plant upright.

    I have practically no idea what anything is because I forgot to label it. I grew everything from packets of seeds I got at Home Depot.

    It's the beginning of the second week in August now. I planted everything all at once right around mid may, I think. I have no idea when to harvest anything, either.

    I'm a mess, at this point; but am excited to find channels like yours. You have a ton of enthusiasm, and you're really ORGANIZED; and I love that.

    Way to go man!

  3. If the netting if well secured to the ground (no gap) it will also keep out SLUGS. The cloth must we wide enough to fold it over on all sides – and then putting wooden boards or bricks / stones on the fabric.

  4. HiJames, good video. A question to you or any viewer that reads the comment – What is the construction I can see to the left at 00:01, the vertical wires and pulley on the top and the wood frame ? obviously some form of climbing support. Is there a video in which you cover it.

  5. And another question that bothers me about our 15 raspberries bushes – if you or any viewer has an advice it would be very appreciated. – We have a thicket of raspberries in our garden (we moved there) Not sure whether these a clones of the clones of the clones of a raspberry that was planted a long time ago (we are fairly sure that nothing was intentionally planted in the last 5 – 6 years). Or if it is a wild raspberry that may not grow larger fruits no matter how young or how well cared for. Or if it is a clone from a neighbour garden. Last year they had no fruits. Well no care, no pruning, no support trellis and no fertilizer and no space either except on the outer perimeter of the thicket – it was a jungle.

    We were not worried, some (a few) yellow leaves but did not look like a disease. – This year we cut them back in spring (following instructions of a youtube video for summer raspberries – fruiting once per year in summer) they got some berry fertilizer. There is also a "comfrey infestation" under the raspberries. We noticed them only this year, or maybe they came back with a vengeance when we cleared the area in spring – maybe the cuttinb back of the raspberries was not radical enough. This comfrey is a cultivated form, they bloom in different colours than the wild form. Not sure how many nutrients it claims.

    We left the comfrey bloom for a while, they look pretty, the bees like them. Raspberries looked healthy (foliage), grew a lot and had lots of flowers. We cut down / tore out some comfrey to make liquid manure (as a fertilizer), but there still was a carpet. The raspberries bloomed nicely, bees were at them – but the fruit were tiny again. Nothing bad in them (as far as we tested them). More fruits than last year (the inner bushes were such a thicket that I think they had rarely any flowers of fruits). This year they had fruits, but all tiny. We saw one berry that had the usual size for garden raspberries.

    I read that raspberries have shallow roots and react senstitive to lack of water in certain stages. We had a VERY wet and cool spring, then when it got warmer and drier the comfrey covered the ground so there was no need to mulch, and the raspberries got a lot of leaves and flowers and seemed to do well. After the very wet spring there was a longer warm period with very little rain. The occasional day with light rain, or a short shower. We did water them at the end of the dry spell, and if we watered – we gave them a lot of water – but only 3 times. and more to the end. Since there had been endless rain in spring, we assumed they could get their moisture from the ground. I do not think the red and black currants got more water (but get a little less sun) – and they did O.K. but these bushes might have deeper roots.

    Is it possible that lack of water doomed our fruits ? Or maybe it is a wild plant that has no big fruits anyway and we should get new bushes and rip them out – or they are too old or the clone of a clone of a clone – and so they get weaker over generations ?

    Or maybe we just made a mistake with the watering and the fertilizer was used up by the comfrey plants – and those 15 bushes or so would be fine with the right care.

    I read that there is a disease that can cause the fruits to remain tiny. But I cannot see any of the other symptoms (discolorations on stems, leaves).

    Do raspberry bushes have a shelf live ? if left to grow w/o pruning and left to propagate themselves – can they get weaker and weaker ?

    As these are a lot of bushes – I do not like to tear them out if we could get harvests from them in the future. On the other hand if these plants are weak – beyond peak, I would rather plant new berry bushes. (some of them have good sun, some of them have a little more shade (I would not say half shade, but not full sun either). But the currants in the back of the raspberry thicket have even a little less sun and are doing O.K.

  6. Jim, Love your channel, Question, I have 12 yr old pear trees that always get a brown circular problem on bottoms of every pear. They always rot from this point, and I want to be able to eat them, Please tell me what you do for yours, thank you.

  7. I can second that BT is very effective. Use it proactively by spraying the underside of the leaves. It will stay there and remain effective for a long time.

    Neem, on the other hand, is a scam in my oppinion.
