2 Year Old Grapevine I Purchased from Grocery Store FINALLY GROWING FRUIT


So I've been traveling with this grapevine for over the past 2 years. I planted this when it was cold outside this winter, just because I wanted to get it out of the pot. To my surprise, I noticed over 2 weeks ago it started growing these purplish bud-like leaves, and now there are tiny baby grapes fruits growing. I'm so excited! I hope this message encourages someone out there.

How to Grow Date Palm from Seed in Water | THE LAZIEST WAY TO GERMINATE DATES


Forget the Wet Paper Towel Method. Just throw them in a bowl of luke warm filtered water with a lid. Don't forget to change the water every few days and add a splash of hydrogen peroxide to stop molding/fungus issues. I bought these dates from Aldi and thought why not try to see if I can get them to germinate. I know they're more of a tropical and warm plant but I figured I could grow them in a pot and watch and see what happens. After 3 weeks it's successfully began to germinate I hope the other ones begin to grow as well.

Thanks for watching!


Grow Potato Roots Easy in Water - THE EASIEST METHOD

 

HOW TO GROW POTATOES QUICK - Don't throw away that old with potato in the fridge. Grow your own Potatoes! Try this tip to grow roots quickly before throwing it in a planting bag or pot to ensure it's already growing well. You don't have to stick picks in it and all that extra stuff. Just stick it in some kind of container where they can all somewhat stand up, and add filtered or rain water. Plants don't really need our help, they just need a warm place to grow and water. At least this is what I'm learning so far in the past 3 years of doing this.

How to Find Wild Strawberries in your Backyard!


So I was looking on Google to try to recognize strawberry leaves because I'm growing some and I wanted to make sure that it wasn't something else growing in the pot. I realized by looking at the leaves that those same leaves were in my backyard. When I went to examine the plant they actually had little baby strawberries on them so I thought I'll come on here and post. Thanks for watching!

How to add unprocess food waste to become compost directly in the soil



Okay, so it's starting to get warm in Georgia, somewhat, and it's time to start germinating seeds. At first I wasn't going to even bother with germinating, thinking it was a waste of time, because of what I learned last year. Last year I just threw seeds where ever and didn't both with rows and space. I just planted seeds. But with germinating, the cool thing is you don't have to wait for spring to get closer, you can start planting them in fall and winter, and by the time spring shows up, you have a pretty good sized plant ready to go. The other good thing I'm starting to realize from watching loads of videos is plants, stems and seeds seem to grow much faster when placed in water or doing the propagation method. I actually plan to do a lot more of that this year, now that I have the yard space to do so.

Now the reason I decided to even share this video is because I was doing this last year because one, I didn't have any space for a compost bin, but I wanted my potted plants to continue getting nourishment. This video just proved that I really need to do more of this, so I just wanted to share. There's no point in buying soil from Home Depot or Lowes, when we throw away so much food. I have a really small compost going on outside in planter pots that I fill with food at the bottom and throw leaves and paper bags on top to cover the waste to hopefully prevent bugs. So far it looks like it's working. Feel free to share your tips of how you compost and preserve space in your garden.
