Tips on Thinning & Moving Greens
For greens to grow well they need to be thinned - but what to do with the plants that get pulled? How about re-planting them somewhere else?

    A better part of a weekend? It would take me about a week to make that amount of woodchips with a regular 3" woodchipper to make that amount of chips working full time all day. Lol I still have a chipper and use it because they're useful, but my first big load of woodchips was seeing a truck in my rural area towing an industrial woodchipper and I flagged it down. They dumped about 12 cubic yards of chips, and they refused any offer of money. They did give me their card for the company they worked for though if I wanted more later, and now I pay $50 for them to come out of their way periodically to deliver instead of themselves paying to dispose of it. I'm in rural Eastern Ontario, and options like ChipDrop are not available here.

    Greg, thank you for the Haskap cooking video! My thoughts: you mentioned once that strawberry freezer jam is superior to water bath canned strawberry jam. On the other hand, raspberry jam is better as a water bath canned jam. Is the Haskap jam better as a freezer jam or a water bath can jam? I’m guessing water bath canned jam since that’s what you’re doing. What do you think about adding lemon juice to the jam recipe? Or are the Haskaps acidic enough? I would like to see how you use your bird netting to cover the Haskaps. How about showing how you net your Haskaps during one of your garden tours? If I don’t say it enough, your channel is the best garden, cooking channel on RUclips.

I think it's acidic enough that it doesn't need lemon - and yes, I think its better cooked. The freezer jam has a crazy amount of sugar, especially now that there's no certo light in the universe - just regular certo. It's a travesty.

    Thank you so much for this recipe! I love that it is done with proportions rather than set amounts. We grow our own hascaps too and my family just loves them. I got 22lb of them this year! They make a terrific topping for cheesecake and I made a hascap crumble this season too which didn't last long in our house. Last year, I made hascap jam but I cheated and used Certo, following a blueberry jam recipe. It was delicious but perhaps a little too gelled. For the optimum ripeness of hascaps, I find that they are ripe at least a week after they colour up completely to purple. I think many people pick them too early and then are disappointed in their flavour. And ya, covering them with bird netting is a must.

    • @GerryMantha
      @GerryMantha 5 дней назад

      I agree about the ripeness. The netting doesn't have to be on all season, just maybe 3 or 4 weeks if birds are an issue. I find after they turn completely purple after a week or perhaps a bit more, they fall off quite easily and can be harvested just by shaking the stems with a tarp or sheet to catch and gather them underneath. And it's rare when they're ripe that they retain the stem. I also eat handfuls of them fresh at optimum ripeness and I don't find them too tart, especially the boreal series: Boreal Beast, Boral Blizzard, and Boreal Beauty. Too bad the season is finished already, this makes me aching for another handful of fresh harvested berries I can shove into my mouth! Lol

But it does what I need it to do and its in good shape still. I use it more for dumping than shoveling out, and transporting heavy things like containers and bagged products.

    I have both a heavier duty 2 wheeled wheel barrow and a regular 1 wheel barrow. I find that I choose one over the other depending on what weight of goods that I am planning on carrying, how tight my path is, and how rough the terrain is where I'm headed with the barrow. The 2 wheeled barrow can indeed carry more weight but it is a much bumpier ride than the traditional 1 wheeled barrow and turns are tough. If I could only have 1, I'd choose the 1 wheeled barrow.

    Greg these are the videos that I can relate to the most. Like you, I try to keep up a garden while also having many of the same day to day obligations that you do. I just like to spend time out in the garden but there are days when I look around and only see all the things I haven’t completed or started. It can be overwhelming but I can’t live with myself just letting it all turn to weeds either so I’m slowly refining and perusing an equilibrium of what I can grow with the time and space I have. Keep up the good work on all your channels. I don’t know how you do it all TBH
