Hollis did you purchase Sweetie Pie plants locally or did you order? If you ordered, what online nursery did you use? I live NW Florida and I believe these plants would do well here.
Every time I need a no nonsense approach to gardening I can count on the Hollis family.. I express supreme gratefulness for the bottom line practice by u and the Mrs. sir so thank u.
❤ I love it that you thanked the Lord for giving you the capabilities to prepare beds, plant these bushes and have a beautiful harvest. We need more of this in the world. I have 6 bushes to plant given to me by my neighbor and this video will help me through the process. Thanks again for your time! Green Thumbs up!
Absolutely 100 % agreed. They thought us a lot. They showed us how to make our gardens grow. Thank you Mr. Hollis and wife Nancy. Thank God for you both serviced to millions and millions of Americans growers! We learned a lot from you both. God blessed you both.
I kept thinking, how will I know what to prune off, without chopping off next years harvest. Then, I have to remind myself that no one is pruning the ones growing wild everywhere, except nature.
i am putting in a small garden by faith , ( believing the Lord for healing from severe liver pain) the little garden includes two thornless black berry bushes i got a good deal on. will refer to this and any other videos you have often since i'm a first timer. God bless.
When I was much younger my calendar was, Jan-March, Ice fishing April, Mud season May, Fiddle heads, and ice out Salmon and Trout June, plant the garden Early July, Strawberries End of July-August, Wild Raspberries, Blackberries, and Blueberries September, Apples October, Bird hunting and gleaning Potatoes November, Deer hunting December, building Christmas gifts. A calendar well lived 😊 Berries of any kind were time consuming. Pick 3, eat 2. The basket never got filled. TYFS 😊
Best comment in the video, "I can't bring myself to taste i knowing how much you like blackberries" the love it shows for each other. I love your videos.
After church today we had some friends over. They have never seen your videos. Ended up watching your videos all afternoon. Great day in our opinion. Love you guys. God bless.
The thornless berries are awesome. I bought a bunch of them and a dying plant from Lowes that I brought back to life thinking it was another blackberry but it turned out to be a boysenberry instead and man, it is so good! I've espaliered them onto my wooden fence using some old wire fencing, it works great .I told my neighbors 'help yourself when they're walking by', they are prolific.
I'm thankful that blackberries grow wild where I live. I simply dug up a few plants in the spring, popped them in behind the barn, and draped deer netting over them - a year later, I've got a freezer full! Thanks for the planting instructions, though - I'll try to amend the soil the way y'all did next time!
Wow u have lost a lot of weight Mr. Hollis!!! Mrs. Nancy got u working hard 😂😂😂 both yal look fabulous. great video..lots of great info since I live in Central Florida.
I absolutely love the motion-detection watering system as a deer deterrent. We are in north central Alabama and have so many deer. It’s common to count 10-15 in our less than acre lot. They eat our garden and ornamentals. I’m waiting to see if our thornless blackberries recover from deer eating all parts of them this past fall. Thanks for sharing this product!😁
Oh you are such a beautiful couple you always bring a smile to my face. I just bought two plants I don’t think I have room for heaps. This information is priceless Thank-you from my home in Tasmania
Your videos have taught me so much! We will be using all your tips in our gardening this year looks like we'll be purchasing loads of Bloodmeal ;0) love you both, and thank you again for everything you share with us. God has genuinely blessed you both, and we feel blessed to have you.
Dang! That’s a serious trellis you built. I’m planting 10 blackberry plants this spring and I’m gonna try and build a trellis similar to yours. Looks awesome 😎
Wow! Loved these Blk berry planting videos! Thx so very much! My finace' just surprised me today with a new planting bed by our home! I can't wait to plant some plants of some kind soon! Feel so blessed! God bless and take care of each other!
Hello from Kansas. I have 3 year old thornless blackberries (unknown variety) that I started from my neighbors ground rooting. I didn't know they should be cut back. I had a bumper crop last year. I had to cover them with tulle last year to protect them from our native birds and other animals. The tulle worked exceptionally well. Tulle is really very inexpensive, and was a great way to protect the plants. Just thought I'd pass on my experience. Good luck with your gardens. I enjoy watching your videos.
I planted some blackberries last spring. My raspberries took a few years to get going but were abundant this past year so I look forward to blackberries in time.
We are going to plant black berries this spring. I already have the bed ready! One tip for people watching. Grow varieties for your area. Your local nursery can tell you which kind to plant. I contacted 2 in my area and they both carry the same kind. One nursery carries a one year old and the other carries 2-year-old plant. Natchez and Quachita are recommended for Kansas. Thanks for the video guys! I was just outside getting that gardening itch. 61° here today with 20's next week.☹️
Thank you for completing the part 2 of planting blackberries. I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated your efforts. Sometimes I wonder how certain methods would work, after watching the how-to videos from other content creators. I’m thankful for this follow up video. Your video has given me hope and what to expect in the years to come, as I just planted three berry plants this year. Lastly, I like how you always thank the Lord who is the source of all things. You planted and watered. Yet God caused the growth. Looking forward to more videos from you. God bless.
I don't comment much but I have to say that you guys are the most authentic, sweet and down to earth youtubers I have come across. I just ordered blackberry plants and they are all "Erect" types. Will they need a trellis?
hollis and nancy you have excellent taste in the blues--you grow great crops and i love you guys and love to bing-bing!! keep on keeping on ---peace and love ! )
Best videos from the start to the harvest, how you allow us to go thru the full process with you and Nancy, the time line, the problems that occur, and the time and effort you put into making the videos into one video from 1 to 2 year process. Thanks Love It. Student for Life
I’m on year two with these berries and they have grown three times the size I had expected. They are also send out new plants from the roots. I’m trying to figure out how and what to train and what to cut next winter. They are incredibly at putting out strong canes. They have flowers and fruit all over each of them
What a great video! There is nothing like enjoying the fruits of our labor. I believe I will be adding some sweetie pie blackberries to my garden! My future self will thank me!
Thank you, Hollis. Great content.. Also,, you've restored my interest in Black Kow. I have a request: if you find the time or opportunity would you consider doing the video on fertilizing and growing red ghost peppers? Have a good one.
Hollis, we have the same problem with moose in the winter eating the little buds off and young branches off our fruit trees. It kills them dead. We have to buy new trees, and replant in the spring/summer after being positive the trees are indeed dead. It’s a costly thing to happen each winter. As our winters/springs are much too cold to use the water sprinkler idea. We’ve had to use cattle panel type of fencing standing up on end, as moose stand tall and can reach up over most fencing to eat much of the trees.😢. Love your channel!
Thank you for the video. When I was growing up we had a boysenberry patch like your blackberries. My father set it up and we enjoyed abundant harvests for us six kids for all our lives until my parents moved. I did not know any of the background of how he set it up or what he did to keep the plants going, but boy, nothing like baskets of fresh berries for my mom to make into pies and cobblers and have fresh on our morning cereal. Now I am thinking maybe I can get something going like that for the time I have left for as long as I have at my current location. It is certainly worthwhile since no berries are as good as those homegrown and picked fresh.
I found this channel a couple days ago and I can’t stop watching! In a depressing stretch of snow when I really wish I could be outside and you guys are really helping boost my spirits and get ready for the spring! Currently trying to revive some old sweet potato slips… praying they still have life and will root. Any advice?
So glad our videos are helping you survive the slow stretch of winter. You are wise to take this time to watch videos and prepare for spring👍👍. Thanks for watching and subscribing. Welcome to the family ❤️❤️🐶
I have the greatest respect for farmers, so much work goes into planting to harvesting. I am new at this and to date I have managed to loose two tymes of basils to something called Downey Mildew (I found that out on UA-cam) Onions, sweet peppers, and rosemary. 😔😥 But I am not giving up....as yet. You make it look so doable. On another note the love 💕 you two share is to be desired, I pray for that. Love you both.😘
Thanks so much. That’s the best explanation of the two year cane cycle I’ve ever seen. I’ve got two Ouachita thornless on order but they’re not gonna get such loving care as yours. But I’ll do my best for them. You’ve got a beautiful row of berry plants! Congratulations!!!
Do you have any video's on how you store all of what you have grown. Here in Houston it's so humid it's hard to store our bounty, onions and potato under a bed . But I'm looking for help on lettuce, cucumbers, leafy plants, peppers ETC... Your video's are great keep it up, maybe make some on cooking the vegetables that are not common in the states.
There's a great organic fertilizer for them called Berry-Tone, made by the same company that makes the soil acidifier he used ... by Espoma. You can get it at most hardware stores, and even some Walmarts.

No one has dedication to a thorough video, like you two...no one!
So glad you like our videos ❤️❤️❤️

You are such a gentleman offering your berry to Nancy.
That was the best explanation of primocane and floricane. That has been so confusing to me. Thank you.
Me too.
I kept thinking, how will I know what to prune off, without chopping off next years harvest. Then, I have to remind myself that no one is pruning the ones growing wild everywhere, except nature.

This video is exactly why I subscribed, you are so knowledgeable and you pass it on in such an easy to understand way. Thank you both 🙏
When I was much younger my calendar was,

Hi from Waldorf Maryland I'm growing osage blackberries I have 2 bushes loaded with berries. For 3 years I nave a patio garden.
I saw that Okra flower towards the beginning. I remain convinced that this is the prettiest flower in the garden.
Loved this video
So nice watching you both. many blessings.
Made me smile to hear you thank God for your harvest.
❤️
I have a blackberry tree in my SW Florida yard.
Y’all are to cute 🥰 love how he make sure she got the first taste sweetie pie for his sweetie pie

I planted some blackberries last spring. My raspberries took a few years to get going but were abundant this past year so I look forward to blackberries in time.
Fabulous video! I put in plants last year, inspired by your great project. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕
I REALLY APPRECIATE this video!!! The TIME involved!!! Thank you, SO MUCH!!!!!

I saved the seeds from some large local blackberries. I may try this soon!

I just love y'all!! Can't wait to get my garden growing this year. I'm starting small but hope I'll have enough to share with friends and family.
I love the close-ups of the various flowers you have. Wonderful!
Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝
Hollis you and Nancy are great , I love watching your videos God bless you both.

I am building the same type trellis as you! Just bought all the supplies last week. My plants are going into their second year, sooooo exciting!
Absolutely love all your videos thank you so much for all your tips and tricks. God Bless you brother.
Have never done blackberry but i get an insane amount of thorny raspberry every year and love it.

Perfect timing as I’m getting ready to buy some plants! Thanks!
👍 thanks!
Those Bambi rascals ate our lettuce and kale in the beds right by our front porch last summer. I'm going to try some of those sprinklers this summer.
Awesome. Thanks for the info.

Wow, never thought about moose. I understand they taste very good. Very clean meat. You may want to try solar powered electric fence
New to the channel just brought a blackberry bush thanks for the information
We love the “Sweetie Pie” thornless Bkackberries. They are sooooo sweet!
Thats awesome!
Great video. Have some in a similar state and will trellis them after seeing this.
Thanks for the tips. I tried to grow them last year and did not have great success. Hopefully this year I will get some 🍒👏
They are so good when freshly harvested!
Thank you for the video. When I was growing up we had a boysenberry patch like your blackberries.

I'm get a few in this year. How do you refresh the plant at the end of the year?
I have the greatest respect for farmers, so much work goes into planting to harvesting.

Just in time- I am looking to buy blackberries. I had two harvests of raspberries last year. Thank you for taking the time for the instructions.
Fantastic video guys 🥰
Thank you
Great video! You make it look so easy.
A friend of mine just made Jalapeño blackberry bacon. So good!!
If she is canning. Oil can get rancid if canning with fruit. Check with USDA National Center for Food Preservation for safe recipes for blackberry
Wow I haven't watched your videos for a while, but boy did you loose some weight. You look so much younger. Grear job
Thanks so much. That’s the best explanation of the two year cane cycle I’ve ever seen. I’ve got two Ouachita thornless on order but they’re not gonna get such loving care as yours. But I’ll do my best for them.

The sweetie pie variety taste excellent it was my best tasting blackberry!!!❤
Thank you for the information
@Hollis and Nancys homestead what type and brand of mulch is that? Thank you 😊
I could watch a whole video of those deer 🦌 "changing their minds" about blackberries! 😆 that's great 👍
LOL. They sure skeedaddle when the water hits them 🦌🦌🦌
Great video and thank you for sharing 😇
Incredible results! Would love to try these up here 🤔
Hollis, what kind of fertilizer do you use on your blackberries after you’ve had them planted awhile and how often?
There's a great organic fertilizer for them called Berry-Tone, made by the same company that makes the soil acidifier he used ... by Espoma. You can get it at most hardware stores, and even some Walmarts.
