    Old goat is in front of Greg's garden sign! We made another Hoss order today! We ordered more of the 162 seed starting planting cells ! Bought the 5 pack with the bottom plates and we ordered lots of cucumber seeds! Everybody we sell produce to loves them Max Pack! They will not stop producing all summer! My greenhouse will be here tomorrow! Can't wait so excited! Thanks so much for being a great company with great products and being there and doing your customers right! Thanks again and Praying for all of us a prosperous season! Marlene a Farmer from SC

    Here in TN Zone 7a I have 24ft of asst pea seeds in, 54 broccolini starts going and 38 strawberry bareroots growing for a Greenstalk tower and 15lbs of Hoss seed potatoes in 12 - 7 gallon grow bags.. I use one of my poly tunnels as season extending which allows me to get a jump on Spring crops. The raised beds are all cleaned up, amended and ready for planting. it sure feels good working out in the greenhouse though after what seems a cold winter especially with all that mild weather we've bee having.

    I love seed starting season. I have lots of seeds in my fridge for cold stratification including my milkweed seeds. I am glad you are carrying the microgreen trays now. I just bought some from another place though. I'm growing mine on silicone mats. They work awesome. All reusable and I have had great success. I just love y'all. Ordered tumeric and cannot Wait to plant that. Wish you could get some ginger too. ❤️ My Elephant garlic is on its second year. I harvested last year and replanted all of it this past year to increase my crop. It's doing AWESOME. Also got a head start on my hibiscus. I can never get it to flower before frost. I am hopeful this year.💪 Keep pumping out all your knowledge. I'm listening.🥰

    I have trouble getting hot peppers to germinate, so this year I planted a bunch of different scotch bonnets hoping to get 2-3 plants for each variety. After 12 days, germination on most of them is spotty, but the orange scotch bonnets I got from Hoss are 10/10! I did half in Hoss seed starting mix and half in sifted potting soil, and every single one came up. 😮

    Great show on a timely topic! “Hydrophobic” is the word you were looking for, Greg, I do believe. So funny the you chose the Sharp Finger tonight, I was just going back and forth with friends about them tonight! I got mine in 75 or 76 and paid about $16 if I remember right. It’s my absolute “go to” for light to medium skinning (and some kitchen work!). Carbon is our friend! 😉

    @aileensmith3062 5 місяців тому

    We just started our tomato seeds indoor today. We will be planting 32 tomato plants in our garden this year. We are planting fifteen different varieties. All will be inderterminants, except the dwarf Red Robin which we got from Hoss. Tomorrow we start a good variety of brassicas as well as our peppers. We plan on putting out about 150 pepper plants outside this year. We have been doing bottom watering for years and we are VERY pleased with our system. Our biggest (out of many) mistake that we make with indoor starts is them getting root bound. Time to take the plants outside and plant then we "decide" to give them a couple more days which might turn into 7-10 days. Some people say that they are stuck between a rock and a hard spot. This week it looks like the Old Goat is stuck between Grag and the Garden, Interesting!

    Old goat is in front of the Gregs Garden sign....Zone 8a and I have my peppers planted and about 75% germinated. No true leaves yet, but I have already moved them outside to my greenhouse when the temps are right, and my tomatoes are already planted but haven't came up yet. I have them in my grow box now hoping to germinate the seeds since it's getting too hot during the day in the greenhouse.

  • @Shelzbells
    @Shelzbells 5 місяців тому

    My usual gardening mistake is that I get too excited and plant things too early. Last year I had tomatoes that were over a foot tall already and it wasn't even time to plant them outside yet, so they were starting to overgrow my rackspace and lighting. This year Im trying to pull the reins back a little so that doesn't happen again. But I am in the beginning stages of planting my pepper seeds a little at a time. Last year I had the worst luck with BER on my tomatoes and I wonder if that could have been caused from not enough ferts in the early stages of them growing in those pots indoors? I did fertilize them but I am sure it lacked the calcium that was needed? I don't know. I see the Old Goat in front of Gregs Garden sign!!! Love your show!!!!

    I grew celery for the first time last year and it turned out great. I grew Utah Tall. The seeds have germinated in our cool basement. I spray it with a lite mist. I had too much to eat so this year I'm planning to freeze dry the left overs. I broke the rules on stratification rules and my seeds have come up regardless. My Echinacea and Chamomile are coming up now and i did not cold stratification of them. Go figure. I grew Echinacea last year from seed the traditional way and they actually bloomed the first year. I also saved the plant and left it in the container. It didn't bloom the second year but, I kept it alive and watered it and it will probably flower this year.

      Great Hint: The Kitchen Grow Light from Hoss is a great traveling light kit! My starts have traveled other places in FL & to Tennessee. Tomatoes & peppers are being started tomorrow- Fri. Mon they are taking a trip! The tomatoes may pop before then but maybe not & peppers definitely may not. Either way, they travel in light kit well & if they have already popped, or pop while we're gone, they can immediately be put under the light. I prefer to travel w/them after they pop. Keeping tomatoes & peppers warm enough til they pop while traveling is a concern but gonna try. I am not going to chance coming home to leggy plants! Last year tomatoes had not popped one morning; left home & came back in afternoon to leggy tomatoes! Had to start over! Not happening again if I can help it!
      Thanks for great products & gardening advice!
