you still got those 18 pallets?
Lol that was a stretch. Ha ha
Hollis is a good ole boy. One of the few pure souls in the world.
Thank you Aaron. 👍
And he's a man of God, too! That may not important to some folks, but it's a plus in my book....lol
They are truly blessed. Keep your souls up and the future unknown. “Create our own path with purity and love in your heart and I will shower you with riches beyond what your mortal body will ever experience and witness. Your miracles come from your faith.” -My Soul
When I was a teenager I worked at an ice retail dock that also sold watermelons. The varieties that were sold were black diamond, Charleston grey, and a few seedless. They were trucked from the Rio Grande Valley to north central Texas. A truck would pull up and off to sell watermelons and the manager would agree and buy a hundred or so. Then we started unloading them with a chain of men pitching them from the truck to the ice dock and into the storage room. Strangely, we always dropped the last one and had to eat it to prevent waste.
😂👍🏼🍉
Used to sell Carp,Catfish and watermelon on the side of highway during the summers in central Texas. Would sell like crazy in dog days of summer..
Of course, as a matter of certainty.
I hauled bulk blackkow back in the day.
Good stuff. You should go see the plant.
Yes sir, we are trying to get time to go visit the facility and do a video on it this summer
It just amazes me how much you grow in all that sand!
It’s a struggle. Thanks to Black Kow we get the job done
Hollis and Nancy were truly blessed. Not because of what they are doing, but seeing how their minds and hearts are, how they just want to help with information for us and food for their community. Btw... is it me, or does it seem Hollis is a really mellow cat? I can imagine NOTHING in this world bothering him! Lol!
If deers got my black berries I would be livid! But this good’ol boy just shrugs it off and says, LETS FIX IT! When I grow up, I wanna be just like Hollis!
I hope you keep these drawings and journal entries to pass on to someone one day. The Wealth of knowledge in that journal is priceless!
Saving them for my Grandson❤️
*_WOW! I am so glad that I found your amazing channel. I am a new gardener and I’m only gardening in containers due to lack of yard space. But I feel like your channel will provide me with so much information and knowledge well beyond anything I’ve ever imagine. Everything is so well explained and executed. Very easy to follow along ! Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful place to learn!_*
Container gardening is the bomb. You can grow all you can eat in containers and they are so much easier to maintain and harvest.
Thanks for watching! Yes, the sandy soil is terrible. It must be amended every year. Can be very challenging. Container gardening is a much better method for us Florida folks
Glory to God for your continued sharing of gardening and God’s Word. Watching you plant watermelon 🍉 refreshed my soul
Awesome❤️❤️❤️
Hollis, your notebook is awesome. If you published it, I’d buy it. I’m always impressed by the thoughtfulness and attention to detail in all of your projects. Also, you have really excellent handwriting.
Cant wait to enjoy some sweet watermelon this summer!
Everything in my little notebooks are on our Facebook page and on the community tab of our UA-cam channel ❤️👍
His handwriting and sketches makes my architect heart sing 😁
Agreed! That notebook should be published. I've learned so much from it and would gladly pay money for it. But I am so grateful they are offering all their wisdom to us for free.
Yes , Hollis looks like he’s had some engineering ed. by looking at his writing skills...or drafting !
Yep
@@HollisNancysHomestead OMG I was going to ask you to reconsider providing selling this info. I asked before and you said, no, everything is for free. I had no idea it was avail on FB. OMG, that is amazing. You have basically planned my whole garden for me. Thanks so much you two. Thanks so much. Janice
I just love your channel. You are very uplifting. I always say your closing prayer with you. 🤗
God bless you Kara❤️
Thanks to you both for all your hard work and letting us be a part of it. May the Lord bless you with a great harvest.
Hey, I love watching you all in your garden! Wish I had recognized my love for gardening when I was younger. Recently had an opportunity to move to farm country next door to my sister and we have started a larger garden together. What used to take one of us to get the job done now takes two! I am enjoying every moment spent in the garden next year we are starting a small orchard and building a green house to expand our efforts. Please keep posting videos, often times I don’t t have time to read so I always refer to your videos for advice and instruction. Such a wonderful couple and Bing Bing adds a touch of sweet nostalgia for us having had Jack Russell’s in the family. God bless you and keep you safe.
So happy to see the Watermelon going in. One of the first videos I saw from you and one that got me hooked. From Virginia to Florida, I'm HOOKED
Thanks for getting hooked James🎣
I just love you two. You guys go slow and let us all know things that you do to have a nice watermelon patch. Thank you. I love how at the end you say short blessing.
Be Bless Hollis and Nancy
Thank you Mr. HOLLIS FOR TEACHING US WITH BASIC INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION YOU JUST CAN'T FIND IN A BOOK.
Love your inspiration and message! I'm a fellow Floridian😁🌞
Thanks for watching ❤️❤️🐶
I love that you break it all down with the how and whys, and that you take the time to do from seed to harvest videos!
So cute to watch them work together!
Mr. Hollis I started buying the Black Cow Manure because of watching you and what a beautiful garden you grew out behind your house up north. Still use it in my pots and trying to grow vegetables in pots like you do with such great success there in Fla. I Know the Black Cow has something to do with it.... Love the way you show how to grow stuff from seed to ready to eat... Thank you, Thank You too Black Cow....
I'm so glad they sponsor you , you have promoted them from the beginning.
Watermelon is great. Have a great harvest.
You’ve got me sold on “Black Kow” because your gardens are always so beautiful! Thanks for the video
What a fantastic sponsorship, well deserved you are so generous with not only garden info but all those plans you share. So great to see you receive something. An excellent educational video again by you both. Even though I can’t grow them I learned a lot. Cheers.
The Black Gold Compost Company sponsorship has been a tremendous blessing to us. We are very thankful to them
We've tried watermelon so many times & I had no clue you needed a pollinator watermelon!
Not all watermelon need pollinators.... I use watermelon seed from Lowe’s and didn’t need pollinators....he says hybrids needs it
Only seedless varieties need a pollinator.
Only the triploids need the pollinator. Try the Georgia Rattlesnakes. They don’t need a pollinator and are pretty good producers
Unfortunately it was the seedless variety we tried. I know now though thanks guys 👍🏾!
Here in NY, all my seeds are still in my living room! The potato bags went out yesterday. It will be 60-70 here this week.
Sounds like spring has finally sprung
Hang on Stephanie, the north-east is going to get snow the 1st wk of April 2021
@@nonnie2428 The potato bags just got wrapped in moving blankets and 2mm plastic sheeting, so hopefully OK!
@@stephanienewhouse2056 I watch POW Ponder the weather guy on UA-cam. I have a young-in just south of NY so I keep my eyes on it. He said this mess the south has had lately is pushing up but by 4-2-21 it’s gonna get real cold & snow
I sure hope you have somewhere to put those bags because we are expecting frost and freeze for thurs and friday night.
Best watermelon tutorial I’ve ever seen. Thank you.
This is my first time on this channel. Thank you for your hard work and work ethic and sharing that with the world. New subscriber.
Welcome to the family Willie!!! Got lots of videos for you. Have a peaceful weekend ❤️❤️🐶
/ou both did a great job for no matter your age. God gives us what we need as long we remember to do things in his time not ours, which you do. Sadly some lose their crops because they forget this lesson. Thank you for setting this beautiful example. God bless.
Yes! Thank you!
💯💯👏🏾😁❤ tyfs! Thank you Black Gold for Sponsoring this video such a Beautiful Blessing!😁👏🏾👏🏾❤💯💯
Its a blessing to have Black Kow as a sponsor. My purchase of a number of bags does my heart good.
I look forward to seeing the results. It's not something we get to do here in the UK due to not having the heat, but I watched one of your older videos yesterday, from your previous property, where you grew Korean/Oriental Melons... sorry, I don't remember what you called them, as I'd not seen them referred to with that name before... as I'm giving them a go, hoping that being smaller I may get away with out short season if I trellis them against a West facing wall I have. One thing I love about your videos is how much information you're willing to share with people, thank you xx
Hello Hollis, Nancy and everyone! Hollis I have always loved your diagrams. I hope you save them to be passed down to your children and grandchildren because they are like invaluable recipe books. Hope they last generation to generation. God bless everyone and as always so good to see you and Nancy doing well!
Yes, saving them for my Grandson
Your such a great teacher! Thank you so much. This is my first time growing my own food for my family and I really appreciate your videos not only you show us what your doing but all the notes and diagrams explaining everything so simplistically. Such a blessing 🙌
You are so welcome!
Always bring a smile to my face! I’m not growing to your scale, but doing what we can here in Ohio. Turning our yard into a food source and loving it. Thanks for your great inspiration and love your Faith based approach and thankfulness. We share that! :)
Georgia rattlesnake watermelons are some of the best I have ever had. So sweet
That dog is awesome. Super chill and attentive
Great videos across the board!!
Bing Bing is such a good boy❤️🐶❤️
Have you ever considered writing a book? We sure would love to have all your knowledge of gardening at our fingertips. We enjoy your youtube channel and your faith.
No plans for a book❤️. Simply don’t have time
Love watching your channel. Always informative, and such good watching!
Great info. My wife hasn't been able to grow any watermelons yet. She has tried the golden melon last year, and no results. Thanks for sharing
I wish we were neighbors
Glad you are living the life you wanted! Love y’all!!
Can we grow watermelons in the same area as corn? We have limited space here in NOVA area but would love to grow some melons! Thank you both for being an inspiration and teacher to all of us that love to grow our own fruits and veggies. Followed you for awhile now and am very thankful we found your channel.
Yes, you can. Watermelons can be substituted for squash as part of the three sisters system.
Yes they are compatible
Love seeing you guys popping up in my feed again! Great videos as always! Looking forward to part 2!
You are so good and detailed. Spirit seems just and friendly as Gold. You and your wife.
Wow, thank you!
Thanks for all the tips. My garden looks the best it's ever looked.
Awesome! Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for teaching me how to plants watermellons seeds.
Tried everywhere here in Tn and in Va and have trouble getting Black Kow around here but I got my eye out for it when it does hit the market here!! Thanks Hollis & Nancy!!
@Danny Stout Contact Black Gold Compost Company online and they will help you find your nearest distributor
Black Kow is sold at Lowe's and Home Depot
Right. I started calling it black gold. My area didn't have much compost of any kind.
Yall deserve that great product! I appreciate all of your hard work along with the information gardening here in Florida.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing your plans
Hollis is the best pitch-man any company could ask for. Authentic, charming and humble. 🤩
❤️

I love Black Gold to add to my small garden. I mix for the container I use for planting.

You both are a huge Blessing to my day and bring so much joy to it. Hollis' diagrams are amazing making growing alot easier to understand and our gardening more fruitful. Thank you for sharing with all of us. God Bless you!

Hi folks! The way y'all do gardening reminds me of how my grand daddy garden.
Very good video and really provides a lesson about planting watermelon, always successful, friend.
I love Eden Brothers. Excellent quality seeds.
Awesome vid! So I can just dig a hole in my south Florida yard, add Black Know and grow watermelons right along the top of my yard?!
Have a blessed day also. My goodness you guys work so hard.
Thank you for teaching me how to mix the soil and now I only buy Black Cow,and I'm going to try watermelon s now!
Those chicken are living their best life.
This will soon be .e planting my watermelons. I did last year. And did pretty good. But your fine advice. I know its going to be a GREAT year. Thank You two wonderful people ❤ starting to really love you guys.

wow, Black Kow is great!
Thank you, Hollis. 🥰
You all are really good enjoy everything. Thanks from Missouri
Thanks for watching ❤️
Thank you for all the great tips. A lot I diden't know. This info will come in handy this next summer. When I try to grow melons.
Boy that is a nice gift. Wow!! Black Cow is good stuff!👍
Never heard of Eden Brothers. Thanks for sharing that.
great information and just what I was looking for when you got to your note book. Thank you.👍
Wow! Compost was literally black gold this year 😍!
You're doing the right thing by giving that part to the chickens the white rind is calcium which is also good for the garden for the mulch pile
Great video! Thank you and GOD BLESS Y'ALL!
Thank you for blessing us with all these awesome videos much appreciated...thank you all the best to you and yours have a bless one
What a great testimony n life strengthing.god bless hollis cheers.
Thank you for sharing all of your gardening knowledge. I’ve learned a lot from your videos . I have used your potting mix recipe and I now have a few dozen container plants that are off to a good start this spring. I have also added Black Kow to the new garden plot we tilled up this year. We have similar central FL sandy soil and I’ve seen a big difference in our new tater patch, especially in the rows where we used extra BK compost. Keep up the good work...thanks again 😊👍
Thank you for another great video Mr.Hollis and Ms.Nancy. Your videos are inspiring!
Thanks for sharing this God bless you both love the way at the last giving God the Praise ❤
Thank you for responding Hollis & Nancy. Y’all are awesome,
your sister in Christ.
God bless you Sister 😇
Planting watermelon for the first time. I'm using tires like my grandma used to. They are taking off and have blossoms so funders crossed
My granddaddy was a watermelon farmer back in the 70s and 80s...the rattlesnake was one of his favorites. The melons were huge. The men hated harvest season...lol But, the best tasting melon Ive ever had. Sure miss em. Personally, I feel the melons with seeds are sweeter, more flavor and lots of fun to eat😃
Thank you very much. I really like your channel. Your videos are very informative and inspiring.
I always chuckle when I see your huge fences, I realize your keeping out deer....or dinosaurs? You both hit the mother load of Black Kow!! Thank you for this tutorial on watermelon, I always wondered how the seedless varieties were grown.
Oh I had a question, instead of blood meal could I use alfalfa meal for nitrogen?
What a labor of love. One fruit I can eat and love. Just enjoy your videos so much. God bless you both and Bing Bing.
So cool they hooked you up with material.
They are good people. We are very grateful❤️
Aww. Poor Bing Bing wants love.
Don’t let him fool you, he gets love all the time❤️❤️🐶. Especially from Nancy
I found your channel last night and watched several of your videos, and today we (me and my husband) went to Home Depot and bought everything you were using and 5 gallon buckets to try your potato growing recommendation...so I came back home and am doing to seeding, planting, etc for the greenhouse...and I watched this video bc I found these Rattlesnake Watermelon seeds at HD...I came to sit down in front of my computer to choose another video of yours since this one ended and there was the scripture you shared at the end of this video. Psalms 91: 9-10...I am doing all this planting, growing and learning to take care of my family bc I can see the writing on the wall. I've been talking with God a lot lately and I have an issue with handing him my worries and letting him handle them....I am a worrier...lol. God used your channel to talk to me today. I'd never heard that scripture before and it was the exact word I needed today as I am panic planting and stocking up and canning, etc etc etc....I felt a calm come over me when I read that. Thank you both so much! God Bless you both. ~Kelly
Tears fell down my cheek when I read your comment. Our UA-cam channel is our final ministry. (We have had many). Today you blessed us on a day when we really needed it. Thank you❤️. God bless you and your family.
Great video enjoyed it thanks for sharing getting closer for us here in north carolina to start planting Be safe God Bless
Won’t be long now👍
You must be a engineer in your prior life. You are very thorough with structure design. I’ve watch a few of your diagrams from your previous videos.
I retired from Newport News Shipbuilding as an Engineering Designer
@@HollisNancysHomestead I was right. That’s awesome.
👍
Wow! What a great donation of Black Kow! You guys are set for awhile! I haven't had much luck growing watermelon in the past, mostly due to pests, but I am gonna keep trying!
Of course you can grow melons in Florida, but here in western Washington state its way to cold and summer is too short to grow them.
I'm in Montana and feel your pain. LOL
Yeah, it’s a southern thang. ❤️
great information on watermelon!
Thank you,GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Thank you too
Amazing how different people go about planting. We seed out our watermelon around February 20th in greenhouses and drop them 2ft apart in rows 4 to 5 ft apart around march 15th.I personally only grow jubilee to sell at market, and it just goes to show ya how different we all are and I'm sure yall had a great harvest. But me, I'd have kept those Georgia rattlesnakes for eating and fed those seedless to my chickens!😂
I did smile, Hollis!
Awesomw scripture.
