Whitfill nursery hour for April 9th, 2011

Another great gardening radio hour with Brian Whitfill of Whitfill Nursery here in Arizona. Give Brian a call if you have any gardening questions!

Cauliflower flowering in the garden - March 2011

Take a look at the cauliflower flowering in our organic raised garden bed!

This photo was taken during March, 2011

Making worm tea

Here is the irrigation line and emitters I will use to add air into the mixture.

Clip the airhose to the pantyhose with the clothespins.

Add in the pantyhose filled with worm castings.

Air pump.

Keep the air  pump above the water line so it will back flow into the  air pump.

Notice the large amount of bubbles, which indicate that the emitters work well at allowing air to ass through.

Let this sit for 2-4 days and then use as a foliar feed as well as pouring it on the garden and plants.

The indoor seeds starting trays are doing great!

I have to admitt I'm surprised at how fast the seeds have germinated. Everything is filling in nicly, except the cilantro. The cilantro hasonly produced 1 sprout so far. It's only been about 5 days,so they still have a lot of time to do their thing.

I hope to post some images I took on day's 1 & 2.

Picture of our first potato growing!

So check out our very firt potato growing in our garden!

I planted this a few weeks back just to see what would happen...well it grew :)

I'm looking forward to planting some more potatoes very soon. I was able to locate some pototes called Yukon Gold and another potato that I can't recall the name at this time but, was a really cool purple color. I have heard great things about the Yukon Gold potatoes.

Bell pepper just starting to grow

It has been almost 2 months since we started the garden, Oct. 22, 2010, and we already have some great looking tomatoes, swiss shard, spinache, sun flowers and a few others.

Enjoy this image of what looks like our first green bell pepper!

A couple images of our newly planted raised gardens

I plan on taking better pictures and some video of our raised garden beds, however this is all I have at this time. We used some paint sticks to label our seed rows for fun and because we had so many left over from our interior house painting project.

This our smaller raised garden bed, it is half the size of our second raised garden bed. Notice the newly added metal stakes on the outside of the raised bed, they are 36" concrete stakes that have six or seven holes pre-drilled into them which made it great for driving screws into the raised bed frame. Without these large metal stakes the bed would surely bow out and eventually break open!

This our larger raised garden bed which is 10' x 3' x 18". Here you can see the paint stir sticks used as plant and seed markers for the time being.

No rain yet...maybe Friday?

Well the storm never hit us today. The thunder struck a few times which was fun, but no water from the sky. The news is saying maybe Saturday.

I went ahead and did the organic foliar feeding. The seaweed extract,  fish emulsion and vinegar in a 1 gallon spray pump.
