THANKS FOR WATCHING!
You are so blessed to have that cedar cabinet. The story of you and your daddy cutting the trees to build it just touched my heart. Thank you for sharing.
I could spend hours just rummaging through seed packets. What fun❤
I just did that 2 days ago.. then planted a bunch!❤
You have me rolling on the floor.......I thought I was the only one that had amounts of seeds..... especially (tomatoes and peppers) to feed the entire state I live in 🤣🤣 I feel better now Danny 😉
My heart is with the Mortgage Lifter. He was a radiator mechanic from WV....I grew up in WV. The first slicer tomato that I ever grew, last year, was a 1.45 pound Mortgage Lifter. 🤗 😅👍
I had a friend give me some cherry tomatoes one time called dancing with smurfs. There were very dark purple with red shoulders when they were ripe, and sweet Lord have mercy. I don't think a single one made in the house.
South Carolina here. "Juliet" tomato has done very well for me.
Thank you for the wise information. I am so glad I watch you and Mrs. Wanda all the time. North Mississippi.
I figured out a way to can cherry tomatoes that I love. I freeze them whole as I go. At the end of the season, I thaw them and put them in a pot on low to bring out all the juices. Then I use my emulsion blender and puree them. Then I can them up (can use water bath or pressure canner). Whenever I’m making chili or spaghetti, I dump a jar into the mix and it makes whatever I’m cooking taste so good. No one in my family even knows the cherry tomatoes are in there because they don’t see them. But they love the food.
Great idea!
Red Snapper and Bella Rosa are both hybrid determinate tomato varieties. 🍅🍅🍅
So many tomatos! Thanks for the cold stratification information, it was so helpful
We like the Amish Paste and Mortgage Lifter varieties.
Good morning Danny and Wanda this is deep north Danny in Ontario Canada love watching your videos your information you’re correct about seeds being frozen to kill bugs and also includes rice if you’re gonna be storing it for long time you can look at things on how does the industry do it, they have it figured out. They been doing it a long time do what they do.
Morning
A tip for summer and winter squash lovers: A few years ago, I discovered "mutant" squash in the garden. Come to find out that my summer squash was cross-pollinating with my winter spaghetti squash. I now have a chart posted on my frig that tells me what squash varieties will cross-pollinate, so I try planting varieties that will not cross-pollinate so I can save seed. Variety is the spice of life!!
I’m gonna have to try that stinky fertilizer on my squash this year. Last year I planted 3 plantings of squash, around 24 plants per planting and every one got eaten up with vine borers.
You gave me a good idea for a project. I have all my seeds in plastic stackable containers that I keep in a lower kitchen cabinet. So now I'm going to build a cedar chest for them. Enjoyed video appreciate what you all do.
I’m laughing with my husband because of seed envy. Most of the time people pull out this small box and say ‘it’s time to choose what to plant’ and I’m thinking ‘where are the seeds?’ I have a huge under the bed bin full of all the seeds I want to plant and most of the time it looks like my collection is larger than their’s is, but your collection hands down puts mine to shame!
God bless you both ,
Ive been praying for Mrs.Wanda to feel better ,
I got myself down our hill to our onions yesterday and fed them more ammonia sulfate and did some weeding ,
Then got our seeds together to start on the heat mats ,
We are only doing deterniate tomatoes this year ,and yes Mr.Greg over at Hoss needs to add indeterminate or
determinate to his tomatoe packages .We buy alot from him , and online it tells you ,but then I forget lol .
I loved listening to you Mr.Danny about you & your father ,
That is a beautiful Cedar chest ❤.
Take care
Mrs josette
Montgomery County, Texas 🙏
Good morning Danny and Wanda I just love your cedar armor! How smart to store your seeds in there. I am so excited my first book will be published on kindle in 3 days it is geared tward the first gardener struggling on a shoe string budget why I listed it so cheap because people are struggling . Anyone interested my Pen name is Frugal Penny god bless you all
Awesome
💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Have a blessed day, in the name of The LORD JESUS CHRIST !!!
Good morning Mr Danny and Mrs Wanda 😊 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on seeds, to be honest I didn't know that seeds needed to go in the freezer to kill worms thank you so much for this helpful information. Praying for continued healing for you Mrs Wanda and many blessings for a safe and blessed week ❤
Morning
@@DeepSouthHomestead I have those seeds that I won from a drawing that you had last year.. very excited we are going to plant corn this year and we have some Danny corn 🌽
Good morning. Good Morning! Praying blessings for your harvest this year. I'm praying here in NY we don't get forked in rain this year. I'm thankful o have a greenhouse (not as big as yours) but I am going to grow in there this year. ❤
Mr. Danny, I can highly recommend those Red Snapper tomatoes. I tried an experiment with outdoor hydroponics for those and some pepper plants. Well, it was so hot and dry that my water kept drying up completely from five-gallon buckets in 2-3 days and I couldn’t keep up with refilling them with water and hydroponic solution fast enough and ALL the peppers died and most of the Red Snappers, or so I thought. As soon as it cooled off slightly, those Red Snappers started sending out new shoots and bloomed like crazy and I ended up getting a nice crop all through October from plants that looked as dead as you ever saw. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m a fan of them now, for sure! (But this year, they’ll be going in soil, not water! It’s just too hot here in Georgia for outdoor hydroponics.)
I am grateful especially for the tips on storing seeds. Knowing why to keep certain seeds in freezer and not necessary for others. Thank you so much 😊
I'm alot like you. I don't have a cabinet but have a 40gal tote FULL of seeds, most are saved seed. Matter of fact I actually sorted mine yesterday to start some peppers.
0:08 Hello Mr. Danny, that red cedar cabinet is a very familiar looking piece of furniture. We happen to have a wardrobe closet that looks very similar. We found a full bedroom set with a cedar chest at our local restore. I’ve already had offers on the wardrobe alone that was higher than we paid for the whole set. The best part about this set is that they were bought as individual pieces at different times.
My grandparents had a whole set of cedar furniture including a wardrobe, bed, chest of drawers, dresser and cedar chest. When my dad had to sell their house because he could no longer afford the taxes, all that furniture got left behind. At the time, I had no way to move it and nowhere to put it. I’m still broken up about that. I wanted it all so bad.
White okra seeds are the MVP of this video 📹.
Your daddy’s chifforobe is gorgeous! And cedar has such a beautiful scent. That should stay in the family forever! How lucky you are!
Love the chifforobe - it’s a family memory treasure and your seeds are in it❤
I have a cedar chest that my Daddy made in shop class in junior college (I am 69 for reference). It still has a faint scent of cedar to it and I use it to store blankets. It is one of my most prized possessions.
Pruden's Purple tomato was my favorite to grow in my high tunnel.
What a collection. I've got seed envy. Was intrigued that you called "English peas" "sweet peas". Over here sweet peas are an ornamental poisonous plant that should not be confused with edible peas.
I never heard of English peas until a few weeks ago. Down here in the southern USA, they are sweet peas because they are sweet compared to our Southern peas (field peas).
Here in south alabama as of now I will always have red snapper tomato in the garden it is determinate and I have never had a problem with disease with them. Followed closely by the hossinator tomato another determinate. I just always have better success with the determinate because of the heat and humidity. Hope yall have a great day
Heritage Seed Market is based in Florida and specializes in heirloom and open pollinated seeds for the hot and humid south. They have varieties that I have found nowhere else and are 🤤!
I store my seeds in glass jars with cotton balls and placed in a water proof air tight storage..it works for me.
The Tachi tomatoes I got from Hoss Tools performed the best for me this summer in the intense heat. They just never gave up. I grew some in the soil and some in containers. They were just amazing producers.
Good morning. Its always good to see seed lovers. I just love to have them, yes I grow seeds but I am always looking at them trying new things and enjoying old things. Seeds are just a small miracle waiting to happen. The large red cherry are a must for me, taste great and you can use them for canning.
I fell in love with San Marzano tomatoes, so I started some from seed and planted in large pots last summer. They are are still producing through the winter! The flavor is so sweet. They are a Roma type, but I use them in salads as well.
Thank you for sharing . Glad you are both feeling better.
Thanks for sharing this with us. Have a blessed day
Ha! What FUN rummaging through the personal seed collection! I've been doing the same. Brad's Atomic Grape is a fruity cherry torpedo shaped tomato, amazing colors, indeterminate. My personal favorite is the Amish Paste because it's a flavorful slicer besides being one of the best paste tomatoes. Last year we grew Tommy Toes, an heirloom we got out of Tennessee. It's a mid-size indeterminate tomato, or very large cherry. We loved the rich tomato taste, and made some zippy salsa out of them. LOL got my tomato planting juices flowing!!! Thanks guys! Love ya!!!
LOVE the cedar cabinet and the history of it. Btw, if you don't put Lavendar and Rosemary in the fridge for a few weeks before planting they will not germinate. I didn't find that out for years. I never could get them to germinate and that was why. Also, they are very slow growing when they do germinate.
Good morning, good morning! I, too, am only growing what I will eat this year! I week also be growing in my greenhouse. Praying we don't get washed away this year, here in NY. Praying your harvest is all that you need. ❤
Kevin & Sarah do the Large Red Cherry Tomatoes and Kevin raves about them. I tried them last year and loved them. I got a lot of tomatoes off thise plants. 🍅
I had no idea certain ones had to go in the freezer! I’ve heard of stratification, but I didn’t realize how deep this went! Thank you very much Danny and Wanda❤🤟
Glad it was helpful
Red Snapper and Bella Rosa tomato seeds are both determinates.
Danny, you and Wanda won't live long enough to use all those seeds. My own stash is one drawer of a plastic unit. My over wintered collards, cabbage and turnip greens have taken off. The carrots in a tub are still doing good. I planted English peas in flats just before the rain and they are sprouting! I also planted peppers and tomatoes in Dixie cups. I'm down to one over winter tomato plant, a beefsteak.Fungal infections kill mine no matter where I plant them or what I put on them. That didn't use to happen. I've got some beets I over wintered. Need to weed that area. Also scattered more beet seeds in a tub. Charlie's U-Pick is working hard in the fields. And I planted potatoes both in buckets and down a row.
We found out Charlie's u pick spray's way to much for us.
I planted Celebrity tomatoes and I will say they are the most prolific plants I've ever tried. It is a determinate hybrid.
My favorite is Big Rainbow- from Syracuse NY
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to see what you doing with the tomato seeds.
I had the worst time with squash borers last year. Gold n bloom is on my list this year
Thanks for the information 👍👍😊😊💕💕
Red Snapper, Bella Rosa r determinate varieties. Phoenix is a determinate variety but it yeilds all summer. I love parthenocarpic varieties of cucumbers like Manny, English Sweet Slim etc. Also theres a new one called Quick Snack that would work awesome in ur high tunnel
I’m new to your channel. Enjoyed you guys. Be blessed, thanks for sharing
My daddy use to have a nursery. He had 3 green houses. He sold his plants to 2 stores and a garden center. He put his seeds in the vegetable cooler drawers. His plants were beautiful. He made a wooden board with pegs spaced out. He just put that over a flat of peat pots filled with dirt and pressed down. It made holes in each pot. Then he dropped the seeds in. Lol😂 I have bad luck with squash. God bless y'all and Much love 💖✝️
I trying something different with indeterminate tomatoes this year as well. I’m gonna try growing them up a cow panel trellis.
My granddaddy had yellow pear tomatoes. At least that describes what he had. They were small, yellow, low acidity teardrop shaped. I really loved them, as a child😊
I’m anxious to see how you are gonna the your indeterminant tomato plants up … I haven’t found a really good way to do it yet
Good morning, Danny and Wanda!
Good morning
If it is tall pods, it was what Campbell Soup company grew. I have some seeds.
Last year I planted more indeterminate tomatoes and threw them in the freezer until I was ready to can... and I gave away allot. I think I got a higher yield off of them than determinant.
Thank you, Danny and Wanda, for giving us advice and also naming certain things you’ve grown with good success. My, my, it took me a very long time to watch this video because I paused it so many times so I could write notes on the things you said ya’ll have grown that tasted good, and had very good results with.
I absolutely love the cedar piece. It put me in mind as to the wonderful scent cedar wood has. Such a very good memory you are blessed to have, knowing your Dad made that. You are able to have a reminder every time you walk past it.
God continue to Bless both of you!
I feel i need more seeds now 😆 🤣 seriously though i need more seed after watching this
Now I don’t feel so bad about my stash of seeds! You have tons more than I do!
Great video God bless you guys
This was a special treat to be with you two, and to see all those beautiful seeds.
Super excited for this year’s growing season!!! 💚
Aw, wow, what a great selection of seeds - awesome!
Thank you for all the great info
Good morning Mr Danny and Ms Wanda. I give my wife heck about being a seed hoarder lol. Thank you for sharing some of the seed saving information always learn something new or get a good reminder. Wishing y'all a blessed day.
Your wife has good company. Seed hoarder here!! : o )
There are times and places where viable seeds are more valuable than gold.
Thanks ❤
Great topic!
Thanks so much for sharing 😊 I'll be watching this more than once!!!❤🙏
Love it! You two always motivate me to grow and grow more food. Finding you was truly a life changing event.
Thank you for sharing your experience with your friends
Thank y'all for the training yalls always share silo generously with me. Blessings,julie
Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it. Are you growing any red chili peppers? I just heard (for the first time) that you can feed red pepper flakes to your poultry that are going through a molt, and it will help them get back into egg production faster. Also putting powdered charcoal! Does something for pH I think.
I never thought about cedar. I have a cedar chest we just stuff with stuff with stuff but I may just put my seeds in it this year.
I am ordering this corn variety from trueleaf.
What an awesome video. I could look at seeds all day.
Very interesting. Thanks for the tips on preserving seeds. Hope you are blessed with a bountiful crop. Look forward to your new project.
Thank you for the info Danny , it's lovely you still have your fathers cupboard.
Amazing collection of seeds. What a beautiful cabinet.
Bella Rosa and red snapper are both determinate
Thanks for the great tips I’m fixin to incorporate some of your ideas
A lot of seed companies are not labeling determinate or indeterminate. I only grow indeterminate because they produce from May -November.
I didn’t have luck with the Beit Alpha’s.
Our Beit did wonderful
🙏🙏🙏🙂♥️🕊👍. Thank you for sharing this is very important to me.
We freeze dried all our sweet corn it’s incredible!! Perfect as a snack and also great to rehydrate as a side dish or throw it into some soup!
I live near Dallas. I have fantastic luck with Red Snapper, Bella Rosa and especially Phoenix. Not much luck with the really big types that take around 90 days. I had good luck with the long season types in Virginia but not here in Texas
Same here.
I like that Cedar cabinet very nice.
Just heard you talking about that you’re going to do a tomato experiment Danny, something that you would like to try while you do that experiment has put field stones around the base of the plant. If you’re doing single plants, you can funnel the earth around and then line with stone around the funnel or if you’re doing Rows do a W then when water comes it goes in that W or funnel and also keep it up in the air. I did this experiment two years ago and got 2 1/4 pound tomatoes. The field stone gets the plant going earlier because it holds energy and it also let it grow longer in the season..
Thanks for the tip on when to process corn and peas. Also the tip the determinates wirk better in the south.
I love Cedar. I'm hoping to grow Cedar trees and what a blessing it will be. thank you so much for sharing such awesome information.
Seems like good use of the cedar wardrobe. We have a few of those we don’t know what to do with, I think we just found a use and new place to store our seed stock.
Red snapper is determinate .... I believe.
Yup. Learnt my lesson on the weevils this year. Lost 1/2 of my Tar Hill bean seeds, all of my lima beans, and all of my pinto beans. 😭😭😭😭😭
Red Snapper will be my go to this year. Grew them last summer and they were loaded.
Good morning. 🌞
Good morning
That is a beautiful cabinet
Do yall cup the sweet corn off the cob before you put it in the freezer
I’m sorry I missed that the first time … I watched this one again
I am in the N FL Panhandle. The Juliet small grape tomato does excellent here and will set tomaotoes till frost. It reseeds itself and comes back every year. I only bought one plant 14 yrs ago and it comes back every yr fom seeds. I brought a reseeded tomato plant to our new farm 2 yrs ago and it reseeded itself just fine. I freeze the little tomaotoes (we get thousands every year) I throw them in sauces and salsas. Great fresh as well.
I'm using the reliables myself. Trying to clean out oldest. I store packs in mylar by year.
North I go mostly determinate. Short season. Can have most all my tomatoes at once to can since there will be other stuff to work with.
Getting more serious about seed saving this year. Whatever does great will be a keeper.
Red Snapper Tomato is a hybrid, determinate variety with heavy yields of large to extra-large tomatoes. Bella Rosa is a high quality determinate salad variety (both from google)
I refuse to eat any cream corn unless it is fresh n made from scratch I'm so spoiled to fresh homemade cream corn...lol
