I mentioned once before a problem with the sound. I have amplified stereo sound systems on my computers so I get both channels. It's happening on both home and work. If you watch this video, you come in loud and clear up until about the 4:00 minute mark then your sound drops out and your voice is then picked up by Greg's microphone. This has happened in other videos and broadcasts. It might be a UA-cam thing but it sounds like your microphone is dropping out. You might want to check the cable or connector where they're plugged in. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.
I've noticed that too actually... Greg has a good mic but Trav needs to do a little something about his...
I believe 🎤 battery died
Cane Creek had it right. Travis' battery died. We apologize for any inconvenience.
@@gardeningwithhoss it's all fine to me I heard every word travis said even them big college educated words
@@garyschmelzer lol
Those carrots look great!
They taste even better than they look!
Great show 👍 !
Thanks!
Hey guys, been listening to the show for months now and I have to say you're my favorite gardening Podcast.
This common is directed to the question around the 24 minute mark regarding cross pollination with tomato varieties. Like you said, the fruits on the plants will all be what they are supposed to be no matter what varieties cross-pollinate but the seeds would be a new variety/hybrid.
To make sure you collect true-to-type seeds, you need to either space the plants out or isolate a few sets of flowers. Many home growers may not have enough space to be totally sure this strategy will prevent cross-pollination, so I'd like to share a simple tip I picked up along the way.
In a test garden an extremely simple and effective alternative to keeping the plants apare, which has to be farther apart than the longest-ranged local pollinator's known territory size, is to take 1 or 2 young flower clusters and simply encase them in asimple bag made from mosquito netting. You could really use almost any kind of bug netting, or even a scrap piece of lightweight AG cloth.
Tie the makeshift bag (or even a decent-looning one if you have those skills) onto your trellis and make sure it is closed until the fruit is set and you are done for seed-saving this year.
Bigger operations could just net in an entire row but home growers don't need more than a few fruit to save more seed than we know what to do with :)
Great tip!
Y’alls show has been a great resource for me. Thanks for making these. I am in 9a growing zone
Thanks for watching!
I top my large peppers i.e. poblano , cubanelle, bell. Not my smaller peppers like my Tabasco’s. I have found I get stronger plants and more fruit by topping them. This is my 4th year topping and I estimate I get a 40-50% increase in production in my topped plants.
Interesting ...
I top my tabasco pepper plants and its unreal the production it encourages.
Excellent show y'all, man I can taste those yeller squash now. I like to plant a mess of those crook neck's as well. Think I'll try some of those patty pan, I've never grown any.
The patty pans have a great texture and flavor. Definitely worth trying!
Hey Travis, I sent a message the other day through the Hoss Tools website. I was wondering if the offset brackets that you guys have for the wheel hoes will work with the garden seeder, or will the handles hit the seed hopper once they are offset? I am thinking of getting the seeder. I really like the versatility of the seed plates and the double disc opener. I want to plant on permanent raised 30 inch beds because we have heavy, poor draining, clay soil. This is for a small, high rotation, market garden. Thank y'all for all the great content, and for making quality tools!
I think you may be referring to the offset brackets that are sold by easydigging.com which is a Hoss reseller.
They should work. The bend on the brackets is not that much, so it shouldn't get in the way of the hopper.
Great! Thank you for responding!@@gardeningwithhoss
Hey, guys! If the weather would stay just like it has for the past two weeks here, I'd grow a ton of squash. However, rain tends to start in April and the temperatures stay in the middle to high 80's. I've tried setting out squash plants right after our frost date (Feb 15), I get a few squash to pick, and I'll be dogged if I don't get powdery mildew from Hell! Other than not watering over head, what do I need to do to get a decent crop of squash?
I get that on my squash as well
Spraying liquid copper helps.
I got my brassicas in y'alls trays.... I can't wait to plant them but the last time I watered them they arnt hitting on much so I put them outside today to get a little sun but they seem a tad worse.... only dosed them twice with miracle grow so far.... brought them back in tonight because tomorrow is supposed to be thunderstorms.... any advice? Instead of the grow light should I put them in the dark?
Keep the grow light right on top of the plants. Keep the soil constantly moist, but not saturated.
@@gardeningwithhoss thank you... I soak them from the bottom about 20 minutes or so.... they have been doing great till the last few days
@@gardeningwithhoss I normally let them dry out good before I soak them
Travis your as big a hick as I am these are yeller I like the way you talk!
Haha. Reminds us of that old movie Sling Blade -- "I like the way you talk too!"
@@gardeningwithhoss that Georgia accent is cool, it has leaked into north Florida as well
I grow tons of pepper plants, topping them, makes them, bush out. Instead of just straight up.
That's what we hear. Might have to try that this year.
Audio issues, but nothing volume won't overcome.... just crank it up at 4 minutes, and you will survive until the next show. :)
Been looking at your BCS tractor... I have an old one had it probably 20 years now... still going strong, but your new one has some nice features mine doesn't. My wheels are locked together, and turning is a pain. When I retire next year, and have more time to expand... I may get a new bigger one.
Question... I'm new to drip, and the stuff just seems fragile, would it be better to use the heavier tape, and just use it for a few additional seasons?
Travis' mic battery went dead mid-show. It happens. The thicker tape is more stiff. It works well if you're not moving it much. The 8 mil tape is the best option for annuals. At 5 cent a foot, it's not very costly to use several times and replace the following year.
How old are those tomato transplant when you put them in the ground. I always follow the 6 week rule but they get very large. Are yours only about 4 weeks?
These in the video were about 5 weeks old. That's usually how long it takes us to grow them in our greenhouse.
Hoss Tools Thank you. I always thought bigger was better. I grow from seed but now understand the plants don’t need to be a foot tall.
I just found your channel and I think it’s so amazing and educational. I shared it with all the folks at our community garden 😊
Very inspirational, as always.
How long do you leave your tomatoes in the seed trays. Our roots are already poking out the bottom and I'm afraid they're going to try and take hold of the ground. I don't want to stress them by breaking roots or leaving them in the tray too long. Yous look about 6" tall already. How long till you plant?
We'll plant next week. If they start getting too root bound, you can always step them up to larger pots.
topping will double the pepper plants each time you pinch the tops,instead of 1 stem you get two
Going to have to try that!
My squash and cucumbers are making worlds of flowers, but they are all male. What's going on?
Cucumbers will usually make 10-20 times more male flowers than female flowers. There's probably some female flowers, just hard to find. Try one of these gynoecious varieties that makes all female flowers: hosstools.com/product/stonewall-cucumber/
That is the size i like to transplant my tomatoes !!!! They take off very well at that size and has no root bound !!!
Yes, exactly!
Informative show. Question, I live not far from you boys, have you tried growing maters in the fall? I know the disease/bug pressure is off the hook here in August & Sept. Thanks!
We have. And have done it successfully a time or two. It's definitely not comparable to the spring crop, but worth a try if you want fresh tomatoes that time of year.
how many weeks old is that tomato seedling?
About 4 weeks.
Thank you so much for your video.
I have a tender juicy cucumber-melon variety that is both bitter-free and doesn't cause indigestion. The hotter it is, the faster and better they grow. It's called a Striped Leccese. After years of growing different varieties, this is the very best tasting cucumber I have ever had. If you would like some seed, just let me know your address and I'll send some your way.

We'd be glad to try them. Thanks!
@@gardeningwithhoss Sent. I hope you get a chance to try them!
Travis needs to do something about his mike. He is coming in very low and sound like he is in an echo chamber. He started out OK but to the end maybe his mike cut off. Greg came in loud and clear during the whole show. I know my computer is not the best, but just have trouble hearing Travis.
Battery went dead mid show. Dang technology!
Love the show, just couldn't hear him, glad it was simple fix.
What type of insects will Spinosad kill
Soft-bodied, larval forms.
No problems with audio here but I watch it on my iPhone 🤷🏻♂️
We did lose Travis' mic battery, but it was still picking up his audio on Greg's mic.
Hoss Tools i went back and yeah I hear it now but still sounded fine
What state do y’all live in?
We are in South Georgia, zone 8b.
Oh wow I’m in Ga also just southeast of Dublin. The reason i ask you are already planting squash and cucumbers. I’ve always waited until April to plant those. I didn’t realize they were as tolerant to cold as that. 40s next week highs in 60s.
We like to plant as early as we can. Sometimes that can be risky. But once it gets really hot, the pest and disease pressure gets really high. So getting things planted early ensures we get some good crops before it gets too hot.
We don't have dealers, but you're more than welcome to come by our warehouse and pick one up. Or we can just ship it to you. It's free shipping on all orders over $99.
Stop watching them hallmark shows and get out there and plant something
Some of the best advice you will ever hear!
