I still don't understand why anyone would give you a thumbs down I learn something every time I watch and I've been farming or gardening for 60 plus years thanks for another good show and Merry Christmas and happy new year
For the flower plot: maybe think about doing the plot furthest from your bees so they have to go by your veggies to get there. Might encourage pollination in the garden? I did a 15x30 of flower mix across the yard from a matching food garden. Neighbor has a half dozen hives on the food garden side. Hoping they fly by and pollinate that on the way to the flower plot 🤷♂️
I just cooked a squash/pumpkin I bought at the store. It is the sweetest one I've ever had. As good as pie without needing to add anything. Orange & green outside, flattened & scalloped, with orange flesh. I will definitely plant some of the seeds next year. The variety is Musquee Des Provence.
I just ordered some. Mine that I had saved were eaten by mice. I actually put some of the baked seeds out for them and the squirrels off in the yard, but did they want those? Nooo, they did not. They ate the raw ones. Didn't even leave me one. Words are not adequate...
Ageratum are awesome flowers that look good and healthy ALL summer long through the heat and humidity! Grew them last year and will be growing them again 2021. Very impressive performance.
I was telling one of my friends just the other day that the spring gardening season is right around the corner and he looked at me like I was crazy (we are in SC). I am glad to know I'm not the only one that realizes this. I think yall have convinced me to give determinate tomatoes more of a try this year. I have mostly planted indeterminates, but am quickly coming to realize the benefit of growing a determinate especially for canning. I was also wondering if you have considered planting some peanuts. Some of the folks I know up here plant a couple of rows in their garden each year and harvest them to eat for the first dove shoot of the year (First Saturday of September). I know they are a slow growing plant but the reward is certainly worth the wait in my opinion. Anyways, I have been enjoying the content since I found yall back in January and please keep the awesome videos coming!
Peanuts are one of the most fun things I've grown. I honestly am giddy planting them and watching them grow and for some reason my kiddos get more excited about harvesting peanuts than anything else. They are really a pretty plant too. For me they have been really reliable too. They've germinated well and grown steady with no real loss to speak of.
@@amandamcgee6089 miss Amanda do you know if peanuts grow in northern Ohio climate . I'm kinda new to gardening - farming and even newer on these phones and computer thingies . just thought I would ask . fresh peanuts sound pretty good right bout now . thank you
If you want to grow more variety of flowers for just beauty and show, you have to start growing cool season flowers that can be started in fall and overwintered. Most will survive as well as collards do, with some still looking great till June. Check out two books by Lisa Mason Ziegler, Cool Flowers and Veggies Love Flowers. Main thing for long flowering season is you have to dead head every week or two. sweet william, pansy, cornflower, snapdragon work well for me, as well as the calendula you have grown, in 8b AL.
If you wanna know... best winter squash varieties: marina di chioggia, red & green kabocha, tromboncino (winter/summer squash), banana, cinderella pumpkin (ornamental + culinary)
I planted forage collards and red clover in two different plots. The seeds were scattered on top of the wet ground and then I put a light covering of compost on top. Both came up within 3 or 4 days. I love those forage collards. I take scissors and cut the tops and feed them to my chickens and the collards grow back.
Have you tried 6”x6” x#6 welded wire concrete reinforcing wire as cages for tomatoes and peppers? I use the center of the 5’ rolls that the crew finds hard to flatten out for use in slab work. Cut about 5’ and hog ring it into a cylinder, cut bottom ring off and push it in the ground. Lasts for years but takes room to store in the winter.
This Fall I planted crimson clover which I raked in and then found a partial bag of Austrian Winter Pea. I spread the AWP on top and kept it watered with overhead sprinkler. The AWP pegged and has done well although more vulnerable to birds dropping in for a snack. Clover is doing great also. I’m reducing my tomatoes to one 25 foot row, probably continue with Bella Rosa and Sun Gold Peppers will change to more of the red and yellow Mamma Mia. Great production and flavor. More Jalapeño may try your Cinder variety to increase size. Also either Gold Rush banana or the Cubanelle. Less bell peppers Sweet corn of course probably Ambrosia. Cherokee Tan pumpkin and Sangria Watermelon
Travis..I have mentioned before that this will be my first year in thirty to grow a determinate tomato. I graft hierlooms an have become better than average. I am excited about grafting the Bella Rosa to Shin Cheong Gang rootstock. I will plant 100 as a second crop on July 1st. Bug an heat season will give it a great test. The other 150 will go in on good Friday.
I think I'd like to try companion planting corn, squash and beans. How close should they be? Maybe this would be a good show topic. Companion planting for beginners.
We space corn rows 30-36" apart. With corn, you'll want to make sure you have at least three rows for good pollination. We usually plant squash rows about 5' apart as those plants can get really big. For beans, a 3-4' row spacing is usually sufficient.
Interesting list. Definitely sounds like more of a family home garden. I didn't hear any thoughts about changes in types of corn for next year. Looking forward to your Better Boy experiences.
For me, it's cattle panels all the way for tomatoes. Once you try it you will throw the cages away, or save them for peppers. Cukes do good on the panels too.
Have not because they all bite the dust in early to mid July. So can't really justify that setup. If they grew all summer long here, it would likely be worth it.
We grew 3 types of winter squash this yeah Delicata was our favourite slice thinning and bake really tasty and starchy good potato repleacement , Sweet dumpling nice but tiny as they are bred to be and Black futsu which makes great soup
I was planning to try Florida weave for the first time. Also planning on more determinate tomatoes as I usually don’t have great success with indeterminate ones!
Not necessarily a dedicated "orchard," but we do have several fruit trees and such on the property. We have about 30 fig trees, a 100' long muscadine vine, thornless blackberries, a couple blueberry bushes and a mulberry tree.
We never sold "at the market." We had a weekly vegetable bag program. Kinda like a CSA, but we didn't require payment up front at the beginning of the growing season.
I was about to place my order to you guys for spring sowing and I'm so glad you mentioned the South Anna butternut squash! I added that! Waltham just isn't cutting it around here. LOL.
The wife and I just wanted our weekends back. We both work full time jobs, and so all the harvesting and packing had to be done on the weekends. It was a successful venture for 4-5 years, but we decided it was important to spend more time with our kids. So we bought a pop-up camper and have been enjoying many weekends that way.
I'd like to see you grow a seeded variety of watermelon as the pollinator for the seedless watermelon and do a taste comparison between seeded and seedless. My money is on the seeded variety. Also, how will you manage the weeds once those vines start running? I use landscape fabric with no mulch. It gets hot but the vines don't seem to care.
We'll be using Charleston Gray as the pollenizer, which is the variety we include as the pollenizer in our seedless watermelon packets. The seedless watermelons have come a long way in the last few years. The ones that were grown commercially in the field next to our warehouse were absolutely delicious!
I'm experimenting With planting corn these days after watching from a few of your videos as well as reading from here and there about the depths to plant corn seeds. But I've also seen videos on people who have been creating food plots for deer. Some people have been scattering corn and it has been coming really well apparently. So as you talk about cover crops being covered in or just being scattered and left alone I'm wondering if corn would do well that way.
@@gardeningwithhoss after watching your video again I caught that you are leaving them in until February so I’m going to hold off on clearing them out and pray the extra time gives me something
Once summer comes around, we're in the 90s everyday. We can get to triple digits occasionally, but not that often. The issue down here is high humidity. It's a suffocating kind of heat.
Our seed packets include 12% of the pollinator. So in a packet of 50 seeds, you'll get 5-6 of the pollinator seeds. Just make sure you plant about half the pack to make sure you get a few of the pollinators in the ground, because they're not labeled and don't look any different from the gynoecious seeds.
Zone 9b. Is it too late to start another bed of carrots? I already have a bed that are not as mature as yours. I've never had room for an extra bed until this year. Thanks. Merry Christmas
Is it to late to get second round of carrots started now in 8b north Florida for full size carrots this time, I’m still gonna try but would like to know your thoughts.
When you threw the cover crop on the plot you didn’t rake in, did you feel like you needed to put extra seed on or did you do the same amount as on the raked in plot?
What was the determinant cherry tomato you and Greg got a sample of. You were both raving about how good a cherry tomato it was on a row by row show. Has that one made it to the website yet? I think there are a couple det. Cherr6 type but they don’t seem like the one you had mentioned on the show.
It will vary greatly depending on your location. The "high value" greens crops that most of the market farming YT channels swear by, we don't have much of a market for them down here. We did well with staples like sweet corn, cucumbers, squash, okra and peppers.
@@gardeningwithhoss thanks i'm in Brunswick Ga, I"m trying to start a food bag operation here. there no one doing that here , just one produce stand and a farmers market that is mainly crop's from Fla,
Do you fertilize your carrots?...I am in Texas in zone 8...I planted before you did and my carrots are not even half your size. The plot was cover cropped and tilled in and then composted before planting. The seeds germinated like normal and I have kept watered properly, but just not growing like yours. Any ideas why?
@@gardeningwithhoss Do you do this weekly through the growing of them or do you stop at a point?...The reason for the question is I got more top growth than carrots the last time I fertilized.
I know you decided to stop market gardening and have stated that you explained why in a previous video could you send me the info for that video if you could. I’d like to watch it as a new market gardener and a loyal subscriber👍
Here are a couple episodes of our Row by Row show where I discussed the model we used: ua-cam.com/video/O_Q1Vm4hx0k/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/H7_pOTkXC7E/v-deo.html We didn't stop because it wasn't successful. My wife and I both work full time jobs, so the majority of harvesting and packing had to be done on the weekends. After doing it for 4-5 years, we just wanted our weekends back. So we bought a pop-up camper, hung up our market farming boots, and now have much more time to spend with our kids.
@@gardeningwithhoss Being a new subscriber, I too wondered why you gave up the market farming. I think you made a great choice for yourself and your family. Life is too short to spend it all working so much that you don’t get to enjoy spending time with them. You can’t go wrong with making God and family your priorities.
Has your wife considered sun dried tomatoes? I saw one man use sun dried and made a jar of tomatoes in olive oil, that is on my 'try' list this coming year.
I bought a seedless watermelon from Walmart earlier this year and then I bought one at the u pick it with seeds a week after well the seedless watermelon made me not want a seedless watermelon ever again the one with seeds was ten times better but it may of just sucked because it was from Walmart!
I watch all your videos I just started my first garden lettuce and cabbage started small so far I think it is ok but wanted to know when is the best time to plant potatoes I am in zone 10 Florida please help me I wrote everything down about growing tomatoes

Merry Christmas Joe!
Any video with a lot of views will get some thumb downs. They're trolls. They don't even look at the videos.
If it gets any colder, poor Travis is gonna start saying "So what do you say we spend a little time indoors"
Alright alright alright!
Bahahahaha
Yes a little time indoors by a wood fire stove. Here in Denver it's cold out side.
There have been some days where I have considered doing a video or two from my office for sure!

I tried our hortonova trellis last year, which is basically the same concept as cattle panels. It was okay for cherry tomatoes, but wasn't a huge fan.
@@gardeningwithhoss I guess the panels may be better suited for smaller scale, they work great for my single dozen plants.

best spaghetti bolognese is with tomato concentrate and celery; no tomatoes.

And please show the forage cabbage when it gets bigger. Thank you
Will do!
If you're going to put more posts in, why not put cattle panels up and clip the main stock of the tomato to them?
I tried that last year with our hortonova trellis netting. Found it to be much more labor intensive than cages or weave.
Its summer here in New Zealand, how warm does it get in southern Georgia? The climate in southern Georgia looks pretty similar to what we get.
Once summer comes around, we're in the 90s everyday. We can get to triple digits occasionally, but not that often. The issue down here is high humidity. It's a suffocating kind of heat.
You ever tried Snow Peas?
We have some varieties of "'English Peas" that can be picked early and used for "snow peas." Good eatin'!
If you plant a gynoecious cucumber variety, do you need to plant a pollinator?

Not down there. You're probably good to plant anytime during the winter.
Can fertilizers be interchange like chilean nitrate and ammonium sulfate?
They could, but ammonium sulfate is more applicable for alliums because they like the extra sulfur.
Is it to late to get second round of carrots started now in 8b north Florida for full size carrots this time, I’m still gonna try but would like to know your thoughts.
If you can catch a stretch of 2 weeks of relatively warm temperatures, you could probably get them to germinate.

I put the same amount. But we always plant them super thick anyways.
What about bamboo for your weave?
Not a bad idea!

A couple weeks before your last frost date. In your case though, you probably don't get a frost. So I would imagine mid-January.
