I watch a ton of garden videos on You Tube. I’ve NEVER seen better, more lush growth and fewer weeds and insect issues, anywhere, than on your channel! Someone saying you have too much garden is clueless!! I’ve been gardening for over fifty years and learned more from your channel than any other place! It’s like going to a garden university! I admire you both so much and I’m so grateful I found you! I got my seed starting supplies from you a few days ago and I’ve never seen seed trays in this kind of durable quality!! I’m telling everyone about you!!
I soak my tomato and pepper seed overnight in warm water with a teaspoon of saltpeter per quart. Planted peppers last Wednesday and they have sprouted, planted tomatoes last Thursday and they are 2" tall.
I soak my pepper seeds over night too (I dont add salt). I grew 13 types last year and all came up with in 7-10 days...also use a heat mat with a soil temp probe set at 85 degrees.
Y'all might want to try the tomato variety Juliet. It is a larger size grape tomato. Grows very well in south alabama. I have also grown a lot of the celebrity variety for a slicer. Celebrity is nematode resistant also. Another thing you might want to look into for spraying corn and other crops is a mist blower. I have a Stihl SR200 and it makes spraying vegetables very easy and you get excellent coverage. They are a little pricey, but worth it. The mist blowers also work great on fruit trees.
Do you have to water conservatively to avoid a moisture/mold problem in your greenhouse? 2nd thing, please add baby bok choy to seed selection. I know you have Tat Soy something, but I believe that is more of a salad green/mustard? Not sure, but I think baby bok choy is in cabbage family/better for stir frys?
Thank's, guys! My corn is in the ground, and I just bought the Monterey Garden Insect Spray in December, so I'm primed and ready! I'll let you know how it does this year. As for seed varieties, Red Cored Chantenay carrots do really well here, and if you carry them, I'll buy them from you!
Bella Rosa tomato seeds were up in 3 days with 98% germination! 10 days on my ancho peppers but again great germination. Now I have to find homes for about 3/4 of them cause 49 tomato plants is a little much even for me!
I love ya'lls channel! It's great to find growers close to your area and in your Zone. I'm in Jesup,GA and I definitely am gaining a ton of knowledge from you guys. Thanks so much !
Order lady beetles from nature's good guys. The lady beetles cleared up my aphids infestation on my pink eye purple hull peas and my milkweed plants in about 2 weeks. ☺🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
I am so ordering some of those tomatoes for here in East Texas. I'm probably ok with what I have but I want to make sure i have enough for canning! Cocozelle zucchini did great last year, it lasted longer under the bug pressure than most of them did and tasted 150% better than just regular black beauty types. I was eating them every morning and they were pretty prolific, I never have been able to grow black beauty.
Some of the market garden guys are pushing Cherokee lettuce and Muir lettuce for hot weather. Do you have any experience with that? Do you start lettuce seed on a heat mat?
Red Top Acres we’ve noticed that Ray Tyler has been talking a lot about the Cherokee and Muir varieties. We should be carrying Cherokee within the next year. We don’t put lettuce on the heat mat as it seems to germinate just fine without it.
Awesome show guys! Is there a trick to starting broccoli and cauliflower plants from seed? I do well starting just about everything else except for those. They always seem to get real tall and skinny and end up falling over. Thanks
If they're getting too leggy, it could very well be a lighting issue. The stems should be strong enough so you can pull the plugs directly out of the tray without having to use a dibbler or poke them from the bottom of the tray.
Great show, as always, guys! Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I'll throw one tiny piece of advice out for Jason Reynolds, grow what you like, and if you like them, grow you some bush green beans. They will grow anywhere, produce like crazy and, depending on where you are, you can get at least a double crop of them. Nothing is better for a new gardener (or an old one!) than SUCCESS! We really like the "French style" green beans, with Maxibel being our "go to" green bean. Stringless, delicious, disease resistant and prolific! Those would be a great addition to the Hoss Seed line, in my opinion.
I can sure tell you Boy's onething , I bought your pelleted Tomato seed, and what a dream it is to work with compared to the standard. Oh yea! 100 % germ. Love it.
A few years ago I grew ancho san martin peppers and really enjoyed them. I can't seem to find any of those seeds. We would appreciate it if you could carry them
I was wondering if you are going to talk about fruit trees how to prune spray and fertilize I'm really interested in this subject cuz I'm researching to have a small Orchard on my farm
The seed I really want to grow as a salad lettuce called escarole can't find it anywhere if you carry it I will sure to buy a whole bunch from you love you videos and thank you
A great great show. I'm confused on one thing?? Did y'all say you start fertilizer on your seedling when they first pop or after they get true leaves? I'm under LED grow lights and my have popped. But I've still got the heat mats under them. Guess I need to take mats off. Oh by the way mine are in my garage in a grow cabinet I built, not in a green house. Thanks for all the info!
Ken McClellan yea we fertilize once true leaves appear. And take them off the heat mat as well. Once they germinate, all the heat mat is going to do is make you water more often.
Never used trap cropping. Have heard of some organic farmers doing it, but still a little suspicious. Seems like it would just increase the population of the harmful pests.
Ducks are really good for taking care of garden bugs. The geese eat everything but the ducks seem to greatly prefer grasses over broadleaf. I don't like chickens because too many predators. But don't get geese. They are just a pain in the butt.
@@gardeningwithhoss Ducks are more resistant to predators. I have everything from skunks, weasels and raccoons to coyotes and bobcats. The thing I like about the Muscovies is they are mean. I've had duck hens attack my 100lbs dog.
Escarole forgot to tell you how I'm going to use it there's a Italian soup that I make escarole and that came from my grandmother and the recipe is about over a hundred years old
Now you guys have done gone and used all kinds of words I don't even know what are... I always assume I'm just a horrible gardener when things don't go well, and I just try harder.
Michael Morris it’s good to know the reasons why. Things done always work well for us, but we try to determine the source and take steps for prevention next time.

Thanks for not keeping us a secret!
Ooh new potatoes and creamed peas. Don't get to better than that. Y'all going great keep up the good work
Great info!
Ronnie Dinecola thanks Donnie!
Another great presentation with great information. Thanks guys.
Buck Shots thanks for joining us!

Ronny Williams sounds like you are ready to go!

I was using jiffy 7 for years to start plants. Now after trying your pro mix it has out preformed the jiffy 7 product thanks for your shows

David Montgomery Celebrity is high on our list of varieties to add.

Any of our standard bok choy (Feng Qing or Joi Choi) could be used as baby bok choy. Just plant it more densely if you want smaller heads/leaves.

Carol Avant sounds good. We’ll look into carrying them.
I’m going to spray my plants with 20/20/20 with a spray bottle how much fertilizer should I use per bottle
1/4 teaspoon
@@gardeningwithhoss thank you
I purchased your pelleited tomato seeds greg your right they popped right up. My peppers seed took forever
Gary Schmelzer peppers definitely take some patience.
Great show! I gained a lot of insight from this 30 minute video. Keep it going!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ain’t never gonna find that baseball cause y’all hit it way out of the park.....Excellent show!!
Thanks Grump!

Cane Creek that’s great to hear. Don’t keep that a secret. We pride ourselves on quality seeds and solid germ rates.

Glad you enjoy our content! Happy gardening!
I'm glad Travis I don't have thrip problem here sound like it is a mess!
Joel Henderson it’s not easy, but we’ve found ways to work around it.
Aphids always hit our purple hull peas every darn year.
We get them bad here too.
Order lady beetles from nature's good guys. The lady beetles cleared up my aphids infestation on my pink eye purple hull peas and my milkweed plants in about 2 weeks. ☺🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
When you cut your seed potatoes do you just lay them out separately or put them in a bucket and wait from the cover over? Thanks in advance
We just put them in a 5 gallon bucket and they're usually good until we're ready to plant.

English cucumber please
We definitely need to add one of those!
Love me some Row by Row!!!
My Bella Rosa seeds were up in 4 days. Pic to come.
Clint Hutcheson yes!
Almost all my seed packs i've ordered from Hoss have had 100% germination rate, 97% at lowest. Couldnt ask for better quality seeds.
Ordered tomato seeds today!
Randy Cribbs 💥!

Mike Henderson we’ve heard that 100% germ story from many folks. The pelleted seed is so nice to use.
A few years ago I grew ancho san martin peppers and really enjoyed them. I can't seem to find any of those seeds. We would appreciate it if you could carry them
We'll keep an eye out!
How do you control you aphids?
Horticultural Oil will take care of them: hosstools.com/product/horticultural-oil/
Can you carry the Pink Girl tomatoes for next year?
Yes we can.
I was wondering if you are going to talk about fruit trees how to prune spray and fertilize I'm really interested in this subject cuz I'm researching to have a small Orchard on my farm
We will surely cover that as fruit starts to bear around our neck of the woods.
The seed I really want to grow as a salad lettuce called escarole can't find it anywhere if you carry it I will sure to buy a whole bunch from you love you videos and thank you
We'll see if we can source it. If we can find it, we can definitely carry it. Thanks for the suggestion!

Curious....Do you guys practice any type of Trap Cropping to help with pests of the Garden? If so, have you ever used tobacco plants?
Never used trap cropping. Have heard of some organic farmers doing it, but still a little suspicious. Seems like it would just increase the population of the harmful pests.
How well do the pelleted tomato seeds store from year to year?
They store fine. Just keep them in the fridge.
Wooooo row by row fix!!!
Wooooo look at Greg gloating with his shalllot planting!!!
XaViEr3520 yep he was right on that one.
Ducks are really good for taking care of garden bugs. The geese eat everything but the ducks seem to greatly prefer grasses over broadleaf. I don't like chickens because too many predators. But don't get geese. They are just a pain in the butt.
MJ P we used to use chickens in the garden, but the hawks got them all one by one.

BTW, every week it sounds like one microphone is working and one is not.
Ronny Williams it’s a dual channel system. If you’re listening on a computer, make sure both speakers or “channels” are working.
sounds good here
Escarole forgot to tell you how I'm going to use it there's a Italian soup that I make escarole and that came from my grandmother and the recipe is about over a hundred years old
Wow! That must be a great recipe to stick around for that long!
