It’s been a while since I’ve paid the honeybees a visit or that I made a beekeeping video! Over the winter I’ve left them alone as little as possible and it’s just now in April that I can have a good look.

Opening up a beehive means taking the roof off, and then looking through the colonies from top to bottom. This can chill the bees which is why you need it to be relatively warm and calm outside.

Early spring is a critical time for honeybees since they’re beginning to rebuild their numbers and need food to do it. There’s a high chance that their winter stores of honey are depleted so I’m checking my colonies, Primrose and Bluebell, to make sure that they have enough.

In this video:
✽ Checking the honeybee colonies for damp
✽ Making sure the bees have enough honey
✽ Looking to see if the bees have any Brood — baby bees
✽ Keeping an eye out for any other problems in the hives

Building A Natural Swimming Pond For Weed ‘Em and Reap (FINISHED!)- Organic Pool VLOG 040

To see DaNelle and Kevin’s reaction to their new natural swimming pool click here:

Today is the final day of the natural swimming pool build and it turned out amazing! I think the organic swimming pond movement is really getting some traction and it’s a matter of time before this methodology becomes mainstream. The ability to filter the pond water naturally, without chemicals, was important to DaNelle and Kevin for their organic family lifestyle.

This was an amazing experience for me and being able to work hard with my good friends was the icing on the cake! I want to thank Ralph & Alison Biezad from Pondscapes AZ – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9KL_Ae_DWDfyEW85lfD-aQ
for inviting me out to Arizona to help build this kick-butt water feature!

GROW PORTULACA EASILY FROM SEEDS -SEEDS TO FLOWER FULL DETAILS-FAST N EASY TIPS TO GET HIGHER GERMINATION RATE
DAIZZ’S TIP-Portulaca flowers bloom all summer with vibrant shades of colors. These flowers only open in bright sunlight. When the light level is low, the flowers close up. keep your plant in full sun as they need 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
You do not need to water often for proper portulaca care.

Mist the planting area with a fine spray of water until the top of the soil is wet. The seeds will germinate in 3 to 4 days. After seeds germinate do not water from the top but place the pot in a tray filled with water ….slowly slowly potting mix will suck up water from the tray …this way your seedlings will not get damaged and you will get higher germination rate
NOTE-Beach sand -use sand without salt

So far the pond has been excavated, epdm rubber liner and fabric non-woven underlayment has been installed, large boulders have been placed in the bottom of the pond and now we are ready to finish rocking-in the rest of the swim pond.

Today we will also begin excavation of the constructed wetland filter and the intake bay skimmer for the pond circulation system. We’re excited to be working with this talented team of pond builders including:

Ralph Biezad – Pondscapes
Sean & April Frost – Nature Scapes
Michele Auch – Sweetwater Landscaping
Ed Beaulieu – Aquascape Inc.

Swim Pond Build for Weed ‘Em and Reap (Part 2) – VLOG 038

Posted in Gardeners

Good Friday is the traditional day for planting potatoes. Though it’s been a cold start to spring, I kept to this tradition and planted my own just a day later. This year I’m growing a small patch of Red Duke of York First Earlies and am planting them the no-dig method.

This is the first time I’m attempting to grow them this way and it involves using mulch to both plant and earth them up. Disturbing the soil as little as possible is the no-dig way.

I did have to dig the bed over though to find the dahlia tubers that were still there. With those transplanted, I planted my potatoes just a couple inches deep in the soil. I did this mainly because I’m a bit fearful of a late frost and don’t want my spuds being affected.

Over the top, I spread about two inches of composted horse manure. As the leaves grow, I’ll continue adding more mulch to ‘earth them up’.

In this video:
