This channel is dedicated to videos for the home gardener. There is also a fair amount of Bill's home grown music sprinkled though out. I believe that world peace can be found through cultivating lettuce and mastering slide guitar. Older videos were shot in California and the latest are done on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Bill talks a bit about living in the Mid-Pacific compared to others places.
Just planted about a dozen from seed very excited to see they sprouted in just a few days
Will lumber prices go down? I’m trying to build a new home
Do you monitor your oxygen? That has been my issue on this round of Covid. I heard you cough and it sounded just like me. The upper respiratory part has been a challenge. Still can’t smell or taste anything and I still have double vision. This is day 10 on Covid.
I have celiac disease which is an autoimmune condition. I came to NM to settle business here. Wore a mask on the plane. Got the first shot and a booster. I would be dead if i hadnt. Seems I may have gotten covid maybe. Feeling preliminary symptoms, sore throat and nose and super tired. We'll see what happens. Glad you're feeling a bit better! I may don a mask and go get some CBD and Delta8 from the shop in Albuquerque. Ill probably be ok but there is a small chance I wont. Lots of sleep. I survived the last variants. Im more worried about my gut and brain than survival. Ive finally been over the hump mentally so hopefully i dont lose my progress.
I hope you didn't pick it up but reports are the stuff is circulating again. Be well.
Do i hear hummingbirds? Thought they were exterminated on the islands. Might have been crickets. Either way, keep living the good life! Love the content :]
They never had any humming birds here. Too far to fly. The pineapple industry can't have them because they make seeds int he fruit. We have all sorts of noises here, not sure which one.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 At some point Maui had some, but were exterminated. The big island never had any? Interesting! Now i'm curious, can honey creepers eat from hummingbird feeders?
@@phoopdawhoophub3291 Any humming birds that got here had to have been imported by someone. The 2500 mile trip is too far for a bird that needs constant nectar and water. They would reach the melting temperature of lead somewhere off the CA Coast with out a drink. I'm not lucky enough to feed creepers. On the BI they are restricted to 4000 feet and up. I live at 1600. All we have is imported junk the feeds on crops and weeds. The I'o and the Pue'o are the only natives I see much.
Glad you are feeling better.
Amazing how good feeling better feels!
I have it , been sick 8 years now, I'm just now finding out, one came out of me alive, I have a video of it, thank you fir doing this video!!❤❤❤ I'm drinking wormwood tea, bot is it awful! I'm takeing other things to, but now that I know what it is I'm addressing it, felt like I was dieing it's terrible!
When I had it there was no treatment. Now they have some drug that kills the nematode. If you have had it for 8 years then you have some damage from the infection. The nematode dies in the lower brain stem about 1.5 months after infection. secondary issues can linger for years.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 thank you for replying , I'm going back to the hospital soon as I can find someone to feed my Rottweiler, I'm really a mess, I'm not very off balance in my walking, I can't think straight, constantly in pain in the back of my neck, they definitely miss dionost me w lupus, mixed connective tissue disease, lyme, so I been suffering much, I guess it's just gonna take managing the pain, but I do have the video of it, I drank a big sip of mule team borax, then peed , that's when it came out alive
Just an FYI. I got covid 3 weeks ago for the first time. I'm still coughing and have chest congestion. Like you I rarely get sick. Probably 10 years since I've even had a cold. I was vaccinated at the start of the pandemic. After 7 days I started to feel better. Did some minor work here on the farm and was back in bed for 3 days. This one lingers. You think you're fine and it comes back. I'm in my early 50's and healthy. It's crazy how shitty I still feel 3 weeks in. It's all over hilo and I know a bunch of people in waimea who just got it also. Take care and take it easy. Aloha 🤙🏽
Thanks for the report. I sort of figured if I had it there must be a spike. I don't get out much. One of the concerns is secondary infection. Blow your nose too hard and get an ear infection that isn't covid. I have a helper with the gate tomorrow. I'll take it light. Aloha
I'm glad you're feeling a little better. Get well soon Bill. Hi to you and Gray-C ❤
I'm working on it. Looks like I have help with the gate tomorrow.
more videos like this please. gray-c 2024
Thank you. I enjoyed making it. Gray-C is out in the garden someplace hunting before the hurricane gets here. I will see if she is into videos. I am at 6th day of a covid infection and still trying to repair my solar gate opener! No rest. Aloha
Awesome bill. Loved it. 🥰. Cheers 🥂
Glad to hear. Aloha
Do you have any videos of her making the frog puff up and scream? That would probably go viral. Lol
I guess I don't have any with the frog in attack mode. At 1:30 in this video the frog gets pretty grouchy. ua-cam.com/video/h7FeGKdJLEg/v-deo.html
Looks like Gray-c had a busy morning
As long as it isn't raining too hard she is busy all the time. If she comes in, flops on a pillow and sleeps before noon you can bet is will rain all day. Gray furry weather station.
Thanks so much. So far, out of about 50, I got one! So now I’ve seen you I will try your method. Can’t wait. Greetings from Australia.
If I didn't mention using rooting hormone it can help things. Aloha
Do you have a particular fig tree that grows good there, I'm gonna put one on my oceanview lot but thought I'd get your input first
I'm the wrong guy. There are people here in HI who believe they can grow figs. Since every fig I have seen here was CA grown I have little faith in the idea. I raised figs in CA. There the moist fall weather and the birds made it a very difficult project. Here the tropical climate, high humidity and birds make it a project I would not wish on my x mother in law. There are people here who insist on trying. If you can find one, maybe they have more data. I see the UH has some data. The fig is supposed to be a crop for high promise here. It has to be in a different sort of climate than Puna.
My great grandma had a fig with a 40’ diameter canopy when I was a teen. She lived here on the 9th Island, Las Vegas. They grow really well out here, but messiest tree I’ve ever been around. It was always hard to figure out if it was a fig or dog crap that you were stepping in in her backyard. 🤣
@@GreenGardenGuy1 ok great thanks is the U of hawaii still selling seeds?
@@AK2HI Yes, never for figs. I understand the gentleman that ran the program retired but it is still posted. They are out of corn seed. I hope it returns.
@@Kensington.Island In the areas where figs thrive, keeping the trees pruned for picking purposes is important. Some fruits, like passion fruit or Valencia oranges, i can shake a tree to gather. Figs must be hand picked. Otherwise you get rot, mess and fat birds.
Box, cat, sunspot. Life is good
It is actually no different for humans but we make problems for ourselves. Your thoughts are your reality.
Hope you feel better soon. Perhaps taking 4 vaccines is why you are having issues?
Do not start spread irrational ideas on this channel. The virus causes the disease, the vaccines help arrest the symptoms. If you think the vaccines cause the virus there is nothing I can say or do for you. I never argue with fools. I only warn you not to try an spread garbage like that on the comments of this channel. We are going to try and stick to the facts here, no illusions, delusions or falsehoods please. By the way, the virus came first, vaccines came later. Logic dictates a vaccines that didn't yet exist could not cause a virus. I had a polio shot in the 50's, it didn't give me polio. I had a flu shot several times in history, it did not give me the flu. I had a small pox vaccination as a kid. It left a small scar but I did not get small pox from the vaccination. Your conclusion that I got covid because I use a vaccine would be laughable if I didn't feel a bit sorry for people who can't think straight.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 it was just a question. Felt bad you feel terrible. I enjoy your channel. Not trying to cause drama. Sorry
@@GreenGardenGuy1 I'll leave your channel then. Hope you feel better and keep gardening
@@melissafavrow8315 I get flooded with silly statements about virus, politics or social issues when ever Io mention them. I admit, I have no patience with silliness on day 5 of covid. I feel a bit better but not good today. Sometimes I operate as a clearing house for other peoples information but I find the process tedious. All the information on earth is at our finger tips today but few people actually use it for anything. Humans tend to function through their belief systems, not through data or research. Most belief systems on Earth are as flawed as the people who created them. I never use belief. I go digging for information instead. The federal figures show, in the original Covid -19 pandemic, 95% to 99% of the deaths were in the unvaccinated. In the vaccinated it was between 5% and 8%. Most of these had other issues. I didn't wish to die during covid so taking the vaccine was the logical choice. Check the statistics. I assume this idea of vaccinated people having more covid rose up on social media or something? Social media is flooded with BS. The amount of infections were about the same with or with out vaccines. The amount of death without vaccine was clearly indicates the value of the scary vaccines. The only thing I fear is me, not vaccines. They had enough vetting to be worth the risk compared to death. Now that the most deadly part of the pandemic is over the silliness over vaccines should be clear to anyone who bothers to look at the numbers. The anti-vaxers were as dead wrong as usual. Problem is, many of them are dead and the dead tell no tales.
@@melissafavrow8315 No need. All I'm expressing is I feel that was a silly question and a waste of my time. If you needed an answer to that you could have easily found it by looking at the numbers. That is how I verified the question had already been answered by authorities. Sometimes I feel like a vetting service for others who could easily do the same rather than bother me about it while I have a case of covid. guess I should be in bed. Aloha.
I didn’t know they make that funny noise. Like a squeaky toy.
It is a real scream. It backs Gray-C off. They puff up like a softball, stand up tall on 4 legs and then scream at the cat. The little ones are not so good at this but the big ones get away. This one kept coming back. Bullfrogs are an invasive species here and they don't spread much because they need fresh water. We have them because of all the lily pad pots and two creeks either side of us. Hopefully Gray-C will drive them back to the creek. They are noisy.
😻❤😃
Yummy.
So she has her own channel now, teaching us many things. She could become an influencer, maybe offer some cute Merch. Lol She really is a beautiful cat who happens to live in an awesome place. You go Gray-C
Gray-C radiates gratitude and appreciation. She may not realize how lucky she is to live in HI but she sure lets us know she likes her home with us.
Cats always like “wild” or found water. You can put down water bowls for them, but if there’s a water glass or watering can they’ll go for that first. They’re predictable in an unpredictable way. 😊
I remember the first time I set a glass bowl of water in front of Gray-C. She had never seen a bowl or drank from one. She figured it out and drank but you could see it was new. Today she has 20 or 30 different drinking spots, some in clean bowls, some with fish poo.
I was a little concerned when u went MIA for a few days, Bill….but glad you are recovering. I haven’t seen so many people get Covid since 2021. I’ve still never had it that I’m aware of, and I live in a tourist destination, so I must be resistant or A symptomatic. Aloha bro, get well. 🤙
If you have never had it you are lucky. It sucks. I have no explanations as to why you never picked up. I'm on the third time and figure it isn't the last either. I know exactly how i got it. First time I shared a beer with my son, the second two times Ellen is President of the Orchid Society, they have large meetings and a show. She gets it at the show and brings it home to me.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 That Orchid Society is dangerous! lol
@@Kensington.Island Agreed. I stay away from crowds and spend most of my time on the farm. If Ellen stayed away from crowds I would only have caught covid once instead of 3 times. Since you missed out on catching the early strains of the virus you may be lucky. I figure the stuff is so contagious that everyone will have it eventually. The good news is, the strains keep getting weaker. The last infection was kids play compared to the original strain. The original didn't kill me but it felt so bad I wanted to die. It also left me with a case of long haul. The long haul is the real threat. Millions of Americans had their gut biome and mental activity damaged by this virus. Most of those millions think it is the rest of the world that is ugly rather than their thoughts. Depression is difficult to self diagnose. It becomes our normal state after a while. I converse with many on the channel who got their thoughts nailed by covid but don't seem to understand what happened to them. Repair to my gut biome made the world change colors over night.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 I’ve never been more depressed than when I had H Pylori, still recovering 18 months later. Part of why I’m headed your way, diet.
@@Kensington.Island Wow, I find it amazing how many of our gut cultures can improve or damage mood. The restoration of the microbiome is the solution to long haul. Problem is, most people who have long haul don't know they have it. Mood is mood, energy is energy, not always disease. I blew it off for a while figuring I was just getting old.
OfCourse Gray-c know Best
She likes her water with a bit of flavor.
would the smaller pond breed mosquitos if there aren't fish in them
Any body of water will breed mosquitoes. From a paint can to the great Lakes. Still surface is the issue. I use guppies and Sword tails in the ponds for insect control. In CA I used Mosquito fish, they were hardier to cold. In all the small pots for lily propagation I use granules of BT. Israeli. It kills the larvae and the females that land to lay eggs.
She is going to slip one day
She already has.
Since you grew up in the great lakes region, did you ever had any UAP encounters near the forests? I was watching the missing 411 documentary and they mentioned how a lot of unexplained phenomenon seems to be happening by the great lakes.
I had some experience in Illinois with trees around. In Wisconsin I had over 80 acres of the property in forest. It bordered Rusk Co. forest that bordered Flambeau River State forest that bordered Chequamegon National forest. This ran 85 miles all the way to Lake Superior. So yes, I lived in the middle of a huge forest and all the UAP were seen in forested lands. I have lost count but I had dozens of sightings while in WI. This is where we had a craft that was local, and either drew water from or hid under lost lakes in the woods. It almost ruined my brothers wife's car by playing chicken with her on a small county road.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 That's incredible Bill! Do you think they come from the water or they simply hide there?
@@leonardoalfonso7080 The lakes are too small to be the point of origin. They either hide there or they suck up water from the lost lakes. All the local farmers in the area knew of the craft and claimed it was stealing water. In Kansas I talked with a bunch of old farmers at a 1AM truck stop and they claimed the same thing in KS. They take water.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 Very interesting Bill. I think we are on to something. Mars used to be habitable with NASA confirming that it had a huge ocean 3 billion years ago. NASA also confirmed that Venus also had oceans 750 million years ago. So it is possible that civilizations that once inhabited these worlds come to earth to get liquid fresh water.
@@leonardoalfonso7080 Could be. Did you see they discovered a vast volume of water under the surface of Mars.
I often refer to it as auto-incorrect because my phone or computer is often changing correct words that I write to nonsense. Glad to see you're up and about. Take care!
I took a long sweat covered walk while picking pineapples and citrus this morning. The crop is coming in. Still coughing out my lungs but the sun and sweat were purifying.
Wishing you well. Late springtime we got it, was exactly how you described...lots of chills and night sweats in the beginning. Luckily I've never had the loss of taste or smell but I did loose much of my appetite this recent time, and that (plus the sweat cycle) resulted in some kind of intense electrolyte imbalance that really floored me just after I kicked the 'vid. So, just in case the reminder is helpful... Don't forget to eat and have broths amidst all the water hydration.
You can master it or it will master you...

@@GreenGardenGuy1 Do you ever have questions about your work with plants? You might be surprised by what the AI's know about that :)
@@tangobayus I'm 73 years old, I hold two degrees and have done research my entire life. Why would I need AI to do something that I do better than most human beings? This channel answers questions for gardeners. The answers are either drawn from my personal experience or data drawn from trusted sources. I have absolutely no use for AI just like I have no use for smart phones or social media. This stuff is all for the masses, I am an individual and make a habit of never following the crowd. You are clearly excited about AI, you must figure it is good for something. Enjoy it. As for me, I love my brain. Brains are the sort of thing that you either use them or lose them.

@@tangobayus I already have a mind. Perhaps I am overly proud of my abilities with language. I've been writing most of my life to good result. I see AI as another bit of technology that I have no use for. If I needed it I would want it. I don't want it so clearly I have no need. I decide what machines I need and what I do not need. The choice is mine. It's okay if you like AI, I don't. Doesn't matter to me.

There's way too many AI photos now online and a lot of it people don't even realize is fake. If you know what you are looking for, you can tell if something is real or fake. At some point it's going to get so good that there's going to be no way to tell if it's real or not.

Hello Bill and Gray-C 👋
I'm hiding.
Poor frog he just wants to help your garden!
Nope, it was a bull frog that made it's way from the creek to live in my lily pad propagation. They are invasive species here but not so bad. They need open fresh water to breed. Hawaii has very little. I had hundreds of these on my pond in WI. A bit noisy to be so close to my house. Gray-C is a working cat filling all the traditional roles farm cats play. Keeping the place free of critters. She doesn't really care if it is roaches, rats or frogs. The big frogs fight back and leave while still alive. The little ones, not so lucky.
Little frog seems to realize that the more it moved the more interested she became. Good ole Gray-C, the working cat! We look forward to her exploits every weekend. 🐈⬛
@@Yohann67 I have frogs looking out of half the lily pad pots. Never had bullfrogs until I grew water lilies. Now Gray-C has more company. The big ones fight back and then leave.
Go straight carnivore lion diet! You’ll be strong once again. Sounds crazy but works.
Last time a ate a bunch of meat I farted for days and no one could get near me. A medium rare half pound burger or steak once a month is my extent.
Good reminder Bill. I hope you feel better soon. ❤
The comments indicate I'm not the only one sick on the Big Island right now. Be well.
The sore throat I got with covid was next level. Everything else about it was bearable. Worse than strep. Feel better!
All three infections sucked but the first two hit me in the gut biome. It took diet to recover my mood and energy. Thanks
Hope you feel better soon Bill.
Thank you so much. From what I hear in comments, the Big Island is having a covid out break at the moment.
I’m with you, just got home from a 3 day hospital stay with Covid and this mutation is spreading especially with the kids. Hospital is full. I’m not out of the woods yet. This is #4 and I’ve lost my sense smell and taste. Also double & blurry vision. Get better soon… I was surprised it was positive and I have no idea where it came from.
So sorry to hear. It kind of surprised me too but it had been in the news. We were warned, I just ignored it. A friend who works at Hilo hospital was just worrying about a surge the day before I got sick. Get well!
Get well soon!
