We’re on the tail-end of another deep freeze! I’m utilizing the time to do more inside chores and minimal outdoor work

Everything I've read claims that Fava Beans (aka, "Broad Beans") are cold hardy down to 14°F. I'm not sure that's right, at least not when they're starting out. We haven't gotten below 25°F yet.

Well, this answers that question.

I've been doing upcycle gardening today.

I started some apples, Honey Crisp and Red Delicious in empty cardboard milk cartons and herbs (Cilantro and Basil) in plastic containers I got from work.

Peppers doing their thing.

Its raining in Hawaii. I just filled a 50gallon trash bin full of rain water.
For reference my rain water has a PH of 6 and EC of 2. In comparison my tap water has a ph of 7 and EC of 396.

I grew one string bean vine in a 2 gallon pot with a water tray underneath and it got infested with bugs. I cut off all the leaves and started feeding the plant with concentrated boiled garlic juice and 2tsp/gal of Miracle Grow Tomato plant food when ever the bottom tray dried out. It came back and I am now snacking on the string beans every morning. What ever bugs that were destroying my plant doesn't seem to like the concentrated garlic juice.

I just chopped down a white fly infested Brazilian Cherry Tree that was growing close by, and its interesting to note, there are no white flies on my string bean vine, since I started feeding it with garlic juice.

One string bean vine is perfect for me to snack on, two would make me tired of eating them.

Now that I have the situation under control, I will use the garlic juice once a week to make it more economical. I bought a 3lb bag of peeled garlic from Costco and ground them up with my ninja blender and pressured cooked it in a gallon of water and then divided it into two plastic gallon size milk jugs and put in more water to fill each jug.. I dilute one cup of this to one gallon of water to feed my plants.
