Next time you go to Agriloja, show them some pictures of the olive tree… they'll tell you what to do.
Take care and be happy 💕

Dry the corn kernels and plant the seeds (each kernel) next spring in a hole with fish fertilizer

Your pets always make me smile.

Great video! Enjoy gardening in the cooler weather! Perhaps look at the three sisters way of growing corn, squash and runners? We tried it when we had an allotment and it was super successful as all three plants look after each other ie shade, weeds etc! Take care! Laura 🐶🐶🍻🍻🌸

So it’s going to be a citrustree 😊

I think you need to try a few different varities of corn. I've ordered a few different kinds for next year to see which grows best for me.

The citrus that has come back is normally used as rootstock Trifolate Citrus. Ok for Orange and Lemons . Is known to have smaller fruit when Grapefruit are grafted to it. Good luck

Another fab video 🤩 I'm a little bit in love with Diogo.. that recall ❤️ he landed on his feet with you guys and Frankie seems to enjoy having a little brother to hang out with xx

Your garden looks so much fruitful then ever, even with the strong heat and dryness…it will be better and better 🤗💯

Hello Carissa. My grandmother used to soak over night peas, beans or chickpeas before sow them. I dont know why maybe it helps sprout 😄

hi guys, my wife nd i moved to crete a few years ago doing a very similar thing to yourselves ( although at a much late stage in life lol). we tried growing corn in rows last year and didnt have much luck. this year we grew them in large squre patches with beans and squash (the 3 sisters method) and they done really well (until we left the gate open and our sheep had a feast). square blocks is definately the way to go. good luck wth everything and best wishes from crete

Use the 3 sister planting method from native Americans. Plant corn, beans and squash. All companion planting.

What a lot there is to learn in the garden? The older locals will be a mine of info if you can befriend them 🌱🌱🌱

Always lovely to see the animals 🙂 Do the dogs and Albi also eat wet food?

The sweetcorn looks like it's suffering from lack of water and nutrients. The soil looks very poor. You should dig in lots of organic material. Do you have a compost heap for all your cuttings, chicken poo, peelings etc? It's better to compost rather than burn things, although the ashes from the bonfire will help if you put it on the beds where you are going to grow fruit, beans, corn, tomatoes, potatoes etc. You could look at a YouTube channel called Kris Harbour Natural Building to see what happens when you plant veg in ridiculous amounts of compost (although quite often he doesn't know what he's doing in the veg garden!). Anyway, giving "fruiting" veg and things like onions lots of nutrients definitely has an effect. !!!

Sweetcorn is better grown in blocks 3×3, 4×4 etc rather than a single row. Since you had two rows close together that shouldn't have been a problem. You don't need to plant 12. (Luke and Sarah put shade netting over their veg when it's very hot – would that help?)

Jerusalem artichokes usually stand up on their own and don't need staking, so perhaps they were lacking water and nutrients as well? I hate them and they spread like mad so I'd suggest digging them all up and planting something else! :))

I think its better to graft that trifoliata sooner rather than later. If that kind of rootstok is too tall and has lots of buds it will constantantly try to grow from them

Corn needs to be planted in clumps to ensure fertilisation. The more the better. The corn you picked has not been fertilised properly. Just save the seed & plant next season.

Jerusalem Artichokes do not need staking at all. They should support themselves. Staking makes them weak. Also if you are thinking of saving the seed don't bother as the germination rate is Less than 1%. Just re-plant all your small & excess tubers straight back into the ground. Actually I only harvest what I need each day & leave the rest where they are. When the plants die back just chop them off at ground level. They will re grow when it is time & the clumps wil get bigger each year. Don't worry about overcrowding as they seem to prefer it that way.

I googled tuberculosis on olive trees and it do look like that is what is on your olive tree. They say you can't fully cure but prevention is key with a copper spray every 15 to 20 days. Look it up. Hope this helps. Very important to clean your shears between each cut as you can easily spread it.
