Weird, I just started some Black from Tula last week. One thing we always discuss in our spring club is the fact that beginners are always picking varieties that have not been tested in their area. Not just accounting for weather, but disease and pests are a factor in picking a variety for your particular location.
Rutabegas are very tasty if you boil and mash them with lots of butter and cream. My family calls it rutamousse! If the flavor is too strong for you, you can do a mix of rutabegas and potatoes. Also, you can slice them very thin, coat them with a batter, and pan fry them. Yum! Also good in soups. Very versatile to me!
It's been over 4 years I'd love to see what the shop looks like now. This is my first year gardening, and I started LATE in the year with 4 tomato plants and 2 pepper plants. Since then I've added more tomatoes and peppers, carrots, zucchini, turnips, beets, and so much more. I've been saving seed from everything I can get my hands on including (yes, store bought produce. lol) friends and families gardens, estate sales, etc. So I started off this year with 6 varieties, and now just months later I have almost 200 varieties of seed. (this does include flowers and wild plants that i've gathered) First step to dealing with a problem is admitting you have one. I don't have a problem at all. ;)
my friend Julia who has a homestead and runs the local community garden heard me raving enough about Dragon's tongue bean and decided to try them. They worked great for me in my small space container garden they tasted great and they seemed to sell at the market. One morning she came out to her field and there were deer, plural, rolling in it. XDDDDD
When I started gardening, I chose just a few varieties and tried to master how to make the best of one type and not looking for some heavily promoted hybrid guaranteed to grow like dandelions... I started with Blue Lake 274, Royal Burgundy and two other bush beans; both of these do very well where I live. Last year, I grew Leeks for the first time ever, today I picked one and it was very tasty for March... Right now, I am trying to grow three new varieties of beets in early spring and two onions. I'm surprised they survived the noreaster last week, but have high hopes or may need to drop some more seeds as needed... BTW: I had a 1.5 oz row cover, doubled it and covered the new seedlings.
I've been planning a garden and where to plot them. I thought about making acronyms for the seeds, rather than use their full name (Especially as I am using Excel to make the plots... my current acronyms are still to long, but hadn't thought about something simpler. See you use names such as TOM1, TOM2, etc... was a great idea!
just recently started watching your videos and I have really enjoyed them! I have grown up gardening since I was very young down here in Nebraska, and now I have moved to a larger city. A coworker of mine has decided that she wants to get a garden started and asked me for help. Looking forward to your next video about building raised beds, because that is is going to work best of her. Looking forward to the next video!
You said it; it's so exciting. Got to remind myself to just breathe and pace myself. I only purchase a few packets and a few transplants every year. I get seeds from fellow gardeners, and save seeds from previous seasons. Plus, I have ordered seeds from this great source, MIgardener :) Also, there are two local libraries near me that offer seeds. One is a seed lending library "club", but the one I went to today, just gave me about 25 packets-free! Love this video, thank you so much for sharing some of the qualities of different varieties... very helpful.
Just received my seeds from you both! Super excited to start these beautiful heirloom varieties!!! What I don't end up planting in the garden I take to the community garden, take to plant trades and I do sell a few here and there!
My radishes go to seed very easily, and I've found that the green pods are delicious, and there are tons of them. I can pick handfuls every day for weeks before they go dry, and then I have seeds to plant. I also eat leaves from rutabaga plants until I'm ready to harvest the root at the last minute. I don't eat grains, so I chop the rutabaga up in the food processor, saute it in butter, and eat it in place of rice with all kinds of meat, etc. dishes. It's really good with curries.
Blue lake bush and pole beans are awesome don't need a lot of seeds. I do 2-10' rows and get 3-4 harvest out of them huge producers usually get 2-4 bushels pending on weather.
Hi Guys! My husband and I started growing a vegetable garden 3 years ago to teach our kids (then 10 months and 3 years old) how things grow and get them excited to eat healthy. The first 4x8 garden has now grown to 24' x 24' and we love it! Luckily I have found your channel and it's helping me fix my pit falls! I LOVE YOU GUYS! Thank you for teaching me, so I can hand down your knowledge to my kids! We have recently moved to Crown Point Indiana and will be starting a whole new garden there. Any tips on picking the right organic soil? Locally it seems like no one knows where their compost comes from and I want to stay away from as many chemicals as possible. Thanks for your help! Can't wait to try Trifecta Plus this year!!! I am currently on your wait list. :)
Can I suggest a video of what your veggies should look like when you pick them including onions, pole beans, broccoli? A few things I tried I wasn't sure when to pick such as the broccoli and then it went to flower.
On the setting limits, being realistic with space and growing seasons I’d like to add being realistic with time. It’s very easy to get carried away at the beginning with planting, forgetting that it’s ongoing and you just started living projects that don’t wait for you. If something needs picked, watered or weeded, it doesn’t matter to it if everything else needs attention, too-or if your kids sports season is going on. You have to think about that in advance-when this comes due to pick, what else is going to be happening?
Hey Luke, really enjoying this series! I was expecting tho they you would cover a few more varieties, but maybe I missed some-thought u mentioned blue lake bush bean, rainbow Swiss chard and choosing a cherry over a large/beefsteak-could u maybe list some others somewhere-essentials for small gardens/short season Gardeners-like brassicas/other lettuce varieties/cucumbers/alliums/Asian veg etc? Just an idea-maybe a "Noah's ark"/"beginner" veg garden essentials?
I'm going through this process now. I am limited on space. I'm going to be planting a 2x2 section and a few containers. That's all the space I have. Next it what seeds/plants to pick. Thanks for the video.
I love this advise but wish you would have gone over a lot more products to give us examples to buy in each category. Do you have another video that shares more tried and true varieties? Thank you!
i really like to make hybrits last year i crosst a unknow peper whit a really hot one and it was making really long orange peper and they were so hot my mom loves pepers but that one burnt her mouth 😀 and even when they were green they were so hot i safed the seeds so i hope they wil sproud love ur video's keep up the good work
As far as trying new varieties goes, there are variety trials done by universities, seed companies, and sometimes governments available online. Of course, you'll have to take local climates, soils and pest into account, but this information might give the average gardener a leg up before buying seed.
I totally believe you guys fell in love is because of the both of your love for gardening. I kinda feel bad for her, this guy knows his stuff, and talks the most. That, and the fact she didn't know she married the Bill Nye the garden guy. Both of you keep up the good work. Simcerly, Your Minnesota Brother!
I love this series, I'm curious as well with the mushroom compost. I used it last year with your trifecta and had great results. I don't really know what to do to start my beds for this year. Do I need to replenish the soil? I have my trifecta supply for this year, will that be enough to sustain my season here in Ohio?
LOL... Great vid... Sindy, if you're gonna get "hands on" then get your hands on Luke's red shorts and green shirt and hide them on opposite ends of the closet... Christmas is over... LOL Very good advice on buying correctly both in quantity and variety... I am as guilty as anyone else, and may be in need of a 12 step program (series)... LOL Keep up the great work guys ! Peace.
Guilty here....I always buy more seeds than I can possibly use. Seeds are CHEAP! (and money in the bank). Along with my "tried and true" varieties, (which I buy in bulk along with those I save), I always have about 20% of my garden in 'test plots'. MAYBE one in five gets tried a second or third year. Although I do experience a minimal decrease in germination rates, I try to buy enough bulk seeds to last 2-3 years. Just the way I do it. Works well so far. Best advice from an old 'gray beard' to beginners....Keep a journal and write EVERYTHING down. Start small and grow from your notes.
Good commercial for your store. I visited your website and will definitely return. I'm a newbie gardener and I have a suggestion for your online store. Fully 3/4ths of the seeds which caught my eye and I checked out were out of stock. It would be helpful if you could find a way to highlight in-stock selections or to make them a separate category. It would make shopping a lot easier. Excellent prices, I've been paying up to $6 per packet of seeds on Amazon. Another observation about your online store: I didn't see in any of the item descriptions the quantity of seeds in any of the selections I checked oot.
I know this is a bit premature to ask, as you are going to be making a video about it, but...I just found out that I have a huge supply of mushroom compost available locally and was wondering what if anything I should amend it with for my raised beds?
Hello, thanks for your videos, I haven't seen them all of course, but the ones I have watched have been beneficial. Do you have a greenhouse vs. outdoor growing video? speaking on the benefits. I live in the Central Valley of California and it gets over 100° during the summer, so I'm really wanting to know your advice on what to grow out here, it's gonna my 3rd season of growing, I have grew the basics, Hope to hear back. Jay P.
Loved this video, but I'm SOOOOO guilty lol.. I've bought hmm 6 or so now times from you just in the last month because I think of fall crops that I can plant and then I caught your live the other day with the 50% off and (amazingly my husband as well) went and bought a lot of seeds for next years planting.. I'm going to do a video of the seeds I've bought and yay some that I have planted and are growing.. I did post a picture on your Facebook.. lol yep I'm addicted and need help lol Love your videos, Hugs to both you and Cindy! God Bless
Luke:... im on store shopiing... is this suppose to say easy ? under cumim. Cumin is a dear herb specially in Mexican cuisine. Enjoy growing this spice as it is east to grow,
What is your opinion on organic seeds. also I visited your website and you don't have much organic seeds. Are u planning to expand your organic collection?
We live in Wisconsin - zone 3b. What seeds would you suggest for starting next year indoors. Our plot is approx 50'L x 25'W. I also plan to have a couple of large pots with large variety tomato plants which I can bring indoors to the sun room when it gets cold. Also, will plumb tomatoes do well in the ground? Thank you. Very good video!
Hi I a m new and have seen a lot of you videos. And it's while watching dirthpatch that I learn of your seeds for sale do you sell to outside of the USA to the west indies.please rely here?
Off topic question do regular sugar snap peas need to be trellised? I'm getting mixed info. It's one of our favorite veggies and I have seedlings started (they are doing great) but when I go to transfer outside will they need something to climb or are they going to stay more bush like? I have heard both
I live in zone 5 so I know my growing. Is shorter compared to some other people's. How do I know which varieties are best for my garden? I'm somewhat new and I want to try to grow from seed even though past attempts have not gone well but I don't know what's my best bet variety wise for my area
Hi. I am in Zone 5 too and I have found 3 resources to be abundantly helpful in started a new garden. 1. MIGardener UA-cam videos and Facebook page. It’s almost like you should get college agricultural credits just for watching and practicing their methods. I have learned so much of what to grow and what not to grow. They also share their mistakes which everyone doesn’t do. 2. I reached out to my Cooperative Extension through The University of Southern Maine. I emailed them asking about tried and true Maine varieties of garlic, tomatoes, lettuce etc... This really helped me when I went to buy seeds from MIGardener and The Rusted Garden. 3. Hollis and Nancy’s Homestead is another couple I follow. Great gardening methods and tutorials much like MIGardener. Happy gardening!
I'm beginning to get into gardening, I'm bordering zone 5 and 6. I'm really interested in herbs for indoors since they more commonly have low sunlight requirements, and I'm looking at climbing plants for outdoors since they don't take up as much space, but they do require more resources. At first, look at plants that you don't have to maintain quite as much, like raspberries will survive winter quite well, or fruit trees if you have space.
I'm such a sucker for trying new heirloom seeds I just love it!
I always tend to over purchase seeds, ah the joys of a seed addict! Love seeing Sindy on the vids!

I plant them all, even if I have to hang them on the ceiling. ALL. I want them ALL!!!

Great tips about 1:1 ratio and versatility of plants, also the length of growing season was something I hadn't considered. Thank you!

I struggle with only buying a few seeds this year. I love all the varieties you have in the store and its hard to just pick a few!
In this series, are you going to cover raising seedlings indoors or are you going straight to direct sowing?
I'm going through this process now. I am limited on space. I'm going to be planting a 2x2 section and a few containers. That's all the space I have. Next it what seeds/plants to pick. Thanks for the video.
What is my zone in Philadelphia Pennsylvania
lol😃 too late...couldn't resist buying all those seeds from you guys🌻
Fantastic tips y'all! Thanks for sharing!
I love this advise but wish you would have gone over a lot more products to give us examples to buy in each category. Do you have another video that shares more tried and true varieties? Thank you!
Good tips. and that's a huge seed bank behind you guys. farmers' dream seed bank!

Do you have a video talking about the square foot gardening method? Would be interested in your perspective.
This series is just what I need. Thank you!
Love your honesty!
Great vídeo as always, one thing, on beets you can use green as swiss chard 😉😉😉

I really would like to have more advice on market friendly ones to choose.
Well, for me everything this year is a new variety, first year garden.

Luke:... im on store shopiing... is this suppose to say easy ? under cumim.
Cumin is a dear herb specially in Mexican cuisine. Enjoy growing this spice as it is east to grow,
What is your opinion on organic seeds. also I visited your website and you don't have much organic seeds. Are u planning to expand your organic collection?

Hi I a m new and have seen a lot of you videos. And it's while watching dirthpatch that I learn of your seeds for sale do you sell to outside of the USA to the west indies.please rely here?
Hello, do you deliver seeds to buyers in the UK? I enjoyed watching this, thank you!
Please make a video on preventing "damping off." I lost an entire flat of 40 lettuce spouts to it.
hi guys i think you're both cool, i like your videos . how long would you suggest to soak your seeds and do you use kno3 in the water?
Are your seeds of varieties that grow best in cooler growing zones?
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Off topic question do regular sugar snap peas need to be trellised? I'm getting mixed info. It's one of our favorite veggies and I have seedlings started (they are doing great) but when I go to transfer outside will they need something to climb or are they going to stay more bush like? I have heard both
MammaFox 9 definitely trellis them..mine are over 4 feet tall now
I'll take the Jade Bush bean over Blue Lake all day every day.
Great video! I know I have the same problem with seeds lol :-)
Hey Luke, do you ship to Puerto Rico? I'd love to try your seed varieties and trifecta plus but I'm not sure if you ship to us! Thanks!
When is the best time to buy seeds from you for the 2018 planting season?
I love how you talk to Cindy as you talk to us...Cindy, I wish you were my neighbor so we could laugh and share as we plant a "girls only garden" !!
Does this company do variety trials?
This is funny. I went to your site to buy beans, yup, the blue lake and thry are sold out. Oh well, theres always meijers.
4:05 "just for fun or... different reasons". What's your game, friend?
do you have salsifiy?
You sell seeds! You don't want me to buy ALL THE SEEDS?! 😭 What's happening in the world?!
😂🤣😂
Hi, could you recommend some edible flower seeds , do you have any in stock? I like to buy somethx
