      I found this video at just the right time. I return home to southern OK from a deployment to Africa soon and was looking at ordering from Berlin seeds but I don't want to have to print out a form, fill it out, do equations to factor my own shipping, then email it. I want to click to order and you've led me to the right place.

    Thanks for the video Allen. What am I a weather man now? I have a hunch it's going to be a cold summer in N. Minnesota. What kills us is over night temps. You'll go to work AM, in June, and it's 45F. As you walk to car, you laugh, garden...ha But you can do it, even tomato's, a bit. Pole beans work here, cucumbers...

    I also like ordering my seeds from Hoss...
    Last year we grew the Hossinator Tomatoes and they are definitely Legit...But use a HEAVY trellis. They will produce more slicers than one family can eat in a years time no matter how much you like tomatoes. We gave away near 40# of Tomatoes to the local church food pantry because everyone was so sick of tomatoes.
    As far as the watermelons, we also planted the Sangria variety and they did exceptionally well. Only 5 plants but we harvested around 9 big 15-20 lb fruits out of my raised beds. And honestly, its only a 4 foot by 15 foot bed. They were actually kind of crowded.
    Our squash of choice that we can brag about are the Squash called the Grenade squash. 4 plants inside a 3 foot by 15 foot raised bed produced so much squash that we couldn't give enough of it away as well. Fruits were around 1-2 lbs each. Very delicious but also stored very well. Possibly 2-3 months shelf life.
    Carrots....Never in my life have I ever been great at growing a decent size carrot. Until this past fall. We planted ours here in NW Georgia last Aug and once I learned that they needed the shade to germinate, I was off and running with the "Bolero" carrots. They did more than fantastic. In Fact, we was worried about them dying back in this latest artic blast so we went ahead and harvested what was left of them after munching on 3 rows about 3 feet long each for a family of 3 all winter long. These carrots get sweeter the bigger they get. I have yet to find one that had a woody taste. Our biggest carrot of the bunch was around 14 inches long and had about a 2 inch diameter to it. Most of our carrots ranged in the 10 inch long to 1.5 inch diameter range, with a few that didn't get a chance to fill comepletely out, but thats how it goes when you have them as crowded as I had them.
    I'm a sucker for a good Pickle. My wife and I decided to make some Pickles this year so we decided to try the National Pickling Cucumber for our Pickles and we wasn't disappointed. But fair warning, be ready to pick cucumbers on a daily basis. We missed a few and that pretty much destroyed our pickle production because with a cucumber, if it goes to seed, it's not long before the plant just won't hold up. But it took several BIG jars of pickles out of 8 plants before we decided enough was enough.
    As an add on to the cucumbers, My wife loved em but not me so much...The Mexican Sour Gherkins were a big hit with almost everyone that visited our Garden and my wife. They grew great and produced a huge yield of these little grape sized fruits, but the taste for me just wasn't pleasurable to my liking. Pickled they're awesome, but raw I didn't care for.
    Peppers....Last year we grew a variety of peppers but the ones we received from Hoss, were the Right on Red peppers and they did fantastic as well. Wasn't as big as I was hoping for, but they ended up in our Pepper Jelly and added a very sweet and smokey flavor to it that really set it up a notch.
    Ones we also grew but did not receive from Hoss were the Mad Hatters and a Yellow Jalapeno, both of which didn't have the heat that was expected but I found out it was due to not enough sulphur in the soil. The plants thrived and produced high yields, but the heat just wasn't in em.
    Ones I'm going to grow this year are the Collosus Jalapeno and I'm growing them for the larger size Jalapenos to help make up the harvest I need for larger batches of my pepper jelly that everyone fell in love with along with more of the right on peppers. But I'm also growing the Hossinator Bell pepper to add in it.
    Sorry TexasPrepper for the long book, just thought I'd add a few ideas to your viewers and hope it helps at least 1 person.

    I like knowing what you grow. Based on your videos, I started growing Temptress corn. It is the best corn I've ever had! I was able to to pick two ears this January and they were awesome! I'm wondering why your aren't growing the Brandywine Pink tomatoes this year. I grew some a couple of years ago and the taste was fantastic, but I didn't get many. Last year I grew Domingo tomatoes. They get huge. Mine only got a little over a pound, but they were the best tasting tomatoes I've ever had.

    • @BIGALTX
      @BIGALTX  5 місяців тому +1

      Brandywine are the best tasting tomatoes I’ve ever grown. But, they’re just hard to grow. All the heirloom plants are just harder to grow and just don’t produce that well. I’ve switched to mainly hybrid for that reason.

      Actually, I just set up my cell phone on a small tripod and videoed myself while I did the screen record. I can’t remember the program I used to screen record. I’ll try to remember to come back and add that to this comment. Now, having said that, most people use, a WebCam to video themselves.

      I think it's free. Easy to use.

    Here's a question. If you buy what you think of as general (Heirloom, or otherwise) from southern companies or even YT persons, are they destined to fail if you plant them in an up north zone? Or should 'one' stick to Menards Burpee seeds at box store because they were from the neighborhood? Do seeds work only in the zone they came from before? Questions that Matter. Hope you understand nature of question.

    • @BIGALTX
      @BIGALTX  5 місяців тому

      I would imagine very few seed companies are “localized“.
      Most are national, if not international companies, so I doubt you could get seeds from someone in your growing area.
      However, there are seed banks and seed enthusiasts all over the country that might have something you’re looking for.
      Try to go on some forums that deal with seed exchange. Maybe you can find something.
      Hope that helps.
