Time-lapse Nicomen Island Cloud Movement
A 30 second clip taken from the back fence of our farm on Nicomen Island, facing Dewdney Peak. Check out how the high clouds (top left) are pushing in from the west (Pacific Ocean) while the low clouds are flowing out from the Fraser Canyon. The planting in the foreground is the neighbor's blueberry field.

GET R
get-rid-of-aphids-fast-and-easy
If you're looking to protect your plants from aphids, you have all sort of allies in the garden: ladybugs, hoverflies, wasps, etc. Sometimes, the damage to your plants is so severe, that you can't wait for beneficial insects to do the job. In this video, I'll survey a few of the less toxic methods of killing aphids.
For a more complete discussion of aphids and their natural enemies, here's my vid on the topic: https://youtu.be/luy-sPWRDTQ

SUCKE
sucker-string-train-tomatoes-2-heads
Greenhouse tomatoes are more manageable if you train them up strings with 1 or 2 heads. This technique is for indeterminate tomatoes (the ones that keep growing all season, with many sets of fruit). I know I may take some questions about why I didn't start my tomatoes earlier in the season - it's just time limitations: busy day job and weekends at the farmers market. However, even with a late start, I always come away with enough tomatoes to make it worth the effort.
I should have explained the pots buried in the gravel. We bought the property with the greenhouses built, and it was wall-to-wall gravel to a depth of 3 inches. When we decided to put in tomatoes, I thought of a couple of options: large pots (above ground, not buried) or bury the pots. I wanted the benefits of temperature moderation from the buried pots. We also drilled (hole saw) a number of large openings on the bottom so that the roots could explore beyond the pot. In the end, a couple of other small advantages I noticed: the ease of attaching strings for training (just a couple of small holes drilled in the side of the pot) and it also works great when I apply weed control (vinegar or herbicidal soap) to the gravel area.

PULL
pull-up-cuttings-to-check,-or-leave-them
It's well intentioned advice: "Leave the cuttings undisturbed - you'll damage the young roots!". My view is a bit different. I frequently check young cuttings in my propagation area for all sorts of things: leaf condition, new shoots, moisture and temperature. I also pull up my cuttings to inspect the base for the formation of callus, roots or early signs of rot. I find it useful to get early feedback on my cutting methods and growing conditions. Yes, I advise restraint once the cutting begins to "pull back" with young roots, but even then I'm pretty quick to tip a plant out of its pots to check if its rooted to the side. Are you a "hands-on" propagator? Or are you patient an well-behaved?

SUCCU
succulent-propagation-leaf,-stem-cutting
I've been playing around with leaf propagation, stem cuttings and division of succulents for decor around the house. For the most part, I stick my cuttings directly in potting soil, in bright indirect sunlight supplemented with LED grow lamps. I do all this at room temperature (around 20C or 68F) or a bit lower. So far, I've been successful in the high 90% range on sedums and echeveria, and grapto hybrids.
Now it's time to size these up and get them off my benches in time for seed propagation.

PREPA
prepare-roses-for-winter
The first step to prepare your roses for winter is to let them "settle down" and harden off at the end of the season. For that reason, I recommend you stop pruning, deadheading and fertilizing roses as the cold season approaches. I'll also discuss the merits of mulching the crown of the rose, and show another wrapping technique for winter protection. Finally, I'll go over some of my recommendations for keeping potted/container roses safe through winter.

GROW
grow-a-climbing-rose-in-a-pot
Yes, you can grow climbing roses in pots, so long as you manage all of their needs. A larger container is better - helping you to keep a stable soil temperature and consistent moisture/fertilizer. In this video, I'll show you some good climbers to grow in a pot on your patio or deck.

ROOTI
rooting-hormone-vs.-homemade-diy
Is rooting hormone worth using? Is there a good natural alternative to rooting powder (or liquid or gel)? These are common questions - and I wish I had a more popular answer! When it comes to cinnamon, aloe vera, and honey, these DIY homemade solutions just don't stack up against the impressive track-record of IBA-based formulations in the science and profession of growing plants. Willow water is an interesting alternative, and I'll explore its usefulness here as well.
I suspect I'll get a bit of heat for these conclusions. Let me disclaim a couple of things here: 1) if you've seen evidence of an effective alternative, go ahead and share it in the comments. I'm always happy to learn something new 2) When I say that "It's worth it" to use commercial rooting hormone, I leave it to your research and experience in applying it to any specific plant. For some easy-to-root varieties, it might never make sense to use hormone (or any of the alternatives). Successful rates will vary by plant and stage of growth. 3) I don't have a stake in whether you use one particular brand or another, or if you use IBA formulations at all. Do what you like. I'm just sharing my understanding and experience from one gardener to another.
