    This might be an off wall question: regarding the green tomatoes (I believe romas), can we pick them while green to let them ripen in the house? I’ve picked them at the first sight of blushing to let them ripen in the house. If so, I’m def doing your method for sure

  • @danielleoudit9173

      Seth and I read this and chuckled a bit because we have been discussing this very idea! We have been trying to figure out where it could go (space-wise) and are discussing putting it in the perennial garden, enclosing it in stone pavers, and growing larger perennial plants the area around in. Turning it into a perennial mini pool jungle 😂 it’s hard to explain, but I love your comment and think it’s a fantastic idea ❤️

    My Aji Charapita peppers are about to bloom it looks like. I had ordered some multiplying onions from Hoss and I only ordered a few of them to see how they would do in Wisconsin. They produced really well and they taste really really good. Thank you for the video. God bless you and your family. Duane

    How do you keep the seeds/flowers from cross pollinating when saving the seeds?

    • @ShepherdingPeppersFarm
      @ShepherdingPeppersFarm 13 годин тому

      I don't overly stress about it truthfully. If I'm really wanting to ensure no cross-pollination I will cover a blossom of a tomato variety or pepper variety with a mesh bag before it blooms to ensure it self-pollinated. I also try to plant in sections and seed save from the plant in the middle of the section. I haven't had much cross-pollination and each time it has occurred it's been a fantastic hybrid!

      @@ShepherdingPeppersFarm thanks for your explanation! I’ve been avoiding saving seeds for that reason. My garden is 600 square feet which is large but no where near yours! And all my plants are intermingled. The seeds are really only for my family so I guess it’s not a huge concern if they aren’t pure. Thanks :)

    I was just looking at food mills to process tomatoes for sauces / Ketchup myself! Not sure I'll have enough romas to justify the purchase this year though. This was absolutely perfect timing for this video. I was just wondering how I was going to save roma seeds. I've never done this part before, so it was extremely helpful. My first romas are sitting on the counter to finish ripening now. 🎉 Thanks again!

    • @ShepherdingPeppersFarm
      @ShepherdingPeppersFarm 13 годин тому

      I'm really glad I didn't end up getting one truthfully! My juicer has done a killer job preserving the pulp while straining the skins and seeds of my tomatoes, and it's so nice not having to buy a new appliance if it's not needed. I am thrilled you will be making sauce soon and look forward to hearing about it!

    • @ShepherdingPeppersFarm
      @ShepherdingPeppersFarm 13 годин тому

      I think that's fantastic, and I will probably be borrowing that line from you to share with my little ones in the future 💚 I often find pepper seeds for unique peppers from Baker Creek, or I'll order dehydrated peppers from grocery stores and remove the seeds to save them. The germination rate is lower but I'm yet to not enough germination to grow the pepper variety and be able to save seeds for the future. This is how I got my guajillo peppers, cascabel peppers, aji panca peppers etc.

      Burpee Zinnia Forecast is the only variety that springs to mind for single-petal zinnias. I know I showed a bit of seed saving in the video that came out today but I'd like to do another more in-depth video on it. I'm honestly just not sure how many seeds to try to fit into one video! Lol. I do have a winter garden. I'm in the middle of planning out the fall garden now. The winter is hit or miss depending on how bad the freezes are. All the root veggies grow fine, but two years ago the freeze was worse than it had been for 15 years and it killed everything about the soil. I've just accepted it as a gamble now and roll the dice.
