Orange crunch. You didn't say the supplier but ill take a guess.. ufseed.
Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a winner! Send us an email to lazydogfarmyt@gmail.com and we'll get the hat sent to you.
Darnit! I just found it. Lol.
Congrats Brandon!
I like y'all yellow tomato I like to plant things also. I plant n my container I plant tomato n cucumber n sugarbaby
Wow nice bro ,might have to check them orange ones out.
Ta-ta's southern twang is adorable
He got it honestly!
Lol, I call my brother who is 25 miles to the east of me to discuss our rain gage. As farmers children we grew up watching the weather. The 4 boys did most of the farm work. We 4 girls did the housework, gardening, baking, etc. Picking stones belonged to everyone 😀😄😉
Most of the time it's always good to be the one that got the most rain.
I love how this beautiful girl enjoys watermelon
Right on
Thanks Russell!
That orange watermelon looks so good!!! Feel better soon🙏🏽
It was!
Travis one word for ya! Blessed!!!! 🙌🏽
I had to chuckle on the part where Brooklyn crawled by in the garden.🤣
God bless her!🤗
I think she was getting pretty tired at that point.
The big cucumbers are good for making relish
Thanks for the tip!
So funny hearing about the rain gauge comments! My hubby’s family ALWAYS talks about the weather! Every conversation, letter, card, etc., has at least a mention of the weather and most everyone in the family has a weather station! Garden looks great! Your wife has been amazing! I could NEVER do what she’s been doing!
Maybe I need to get a weather station to really step up my game! lol
Good to see getting around brother! and man, that bride of yours is a real trooper!
Thanks Damain!
California had plenty of rain and no chemtrails sprayed for a change
Orange crunch
The way she dropped the watermelon 😂😂😂
I thought she was just gonna bump it on the tailgate
She wanted to make sure she got it open. lol
I love how Brooklyn wears her full lipstick and cute hair to garden. That’s like me 😁
Haha. Gotta look cute even if you're working in the garden!
I love a yellow melted watermelon I grew up with them..papa had a big patch but you can't find them anymore...alot of people never heard of them...(we always called them yellow meated.)
Orange crunch! urban farmer seeds🧡
Brooklyn is such a trooper 🌸🥰
Yes she is. Thankful she's so willing to help.
Orange tendersweet I got a pack today to try this spring.
Arizonans don't talk about rain gauges, otherwise we would have nothing to talk about. Gotten just over 1 inch for the 2021 year.......Thanks for the great videos.
Haha. I suppose rain gauges aren't a big seller over that way.
orange crunch from Urban Farmer
That's it! But Brandon beat you to it. Thanks for playing!
Myself and a few buddies talk rain gauge, and what's the weather in your area, etc..guy stuff
Good conversations!
I’m in Northport, AL and we are 13 inches above our average rain for the year. And more rain in the forecast for the next week. I love hearing Tie Tie talk.
I don't know where we are as far as the deficit goes, but I would imagine we're caught up now.
I love to see how much rain is in my rain gauge,so I know if I need to water things or not.🤗
I can usually tell if the plants need water or not, but the rain gauge is an excellent conversation piece. lol
Orange Crisp Park Seeds
Close ... It was Orange Crunch from Urban Farmer Seeds.
Hot weather garden clean up is always hard. My sympathy and admiration go out to Brooklyn
It's tough, but knowing it's over is quite a relief too.
Melons looks great 👍
Thanks Curtis!
I love checking my rain gauge 🙌🏻 🌧
Don't we all!
Not just a man thang. I have three rain gauges around my place. 😁
Oh and we picked a 30 lb rattlesnake melon today. On these large varieties when you thump them when they sound “thump” and not “thimp” they are ready.
Wow! That's a big one. Some of these Carolina Cross melons we've got are over 50 lbs, but they won't ever get ripe.
@@LazyDogFarm the seed pack says 100 days to maturity but i try to stretch to 105-110. Just have to play by ear. I started my crosses a little late and probably a good thing. We’ve had a total of 17.25 inches of rain since May 25. We started with a nine inch deficit in rain and now we have a 8 inch surplus. The metro area of San Antonio keeps a tight rein on the acquirer levels so it’s typically the lead on evening news. I have my handy dandy rain gauges set up around my yard because believe it or not it will rain in my front yard and never a drop in the back and side gardens. But then I’m a Georgia gal born and bred from the Hinesville/Statesboro area.
Lazy dog farm that big melon will ripen! I grew them before and we loved them.
I love y’all’s banter back and forth. So real!! ❤️
We try to have a good time even if the heat is stifling.
We got a weather station last month. It’s pretty cool to see exactly how much rain we got and when. I never had a traditional rain gauge.
I need to get one of those.
Orange crunch. UFseeds
That's it! Just not quite fast enough. Thanks for playing though!
Brooklyn, so funny about the rain gage.... OMG. do your men also talk about Miles per gallon on the vehicles?
Haha. Not as much. We just accept the fact that our vehicles don't get very good gas mileage.
I like what turmeric flowers/blooms look like - some are very nice (depends on what you planted).
Are there different varieties? If so, I was unaware.
@@LazyDogFarm I know that some are more pink and some are more white. I don't know that they sell them for the flower specific color though. Either way, they should be showy
Great gift 💡
Thanks for watching Todd!
I just love seeing that baby boy he has such a cute voice. That orange crush melon looked really tasty. I didn't grow any this year wish I would have The melons at the stores have no flavor
He loves watermelon!
That just looked fun and tasty thanks Travis &Brooklyn🥰🥰
Thanks for watching Dana!
It just rained several inches here today. Central Alabama We are like a tropical rain forest. Either it’s raining or when the sun comes out, it’s like a sauna because it’s so hot and saturated. Crazy weather. It’s affecting my garden big time. Looking at Brooklyn’s hands, they look like mine this time of year. Got that gardeners manicure goin on. God bless you. That’s a lot of extremely hot hard work.
Yeah the post-rain humidity can be quite nasty.
@@LazyDogFarm loved watching ty ty dig into that watermelon. And I was seriously impressed with him knowing exactly how to pluck that vine off and roll it out of the garden. Not many children are that smart.
@@apiecemaker1163 He wants to pick watermelons every time we're in the garden. You have to watch him -- he'll get them before they're ripe because he gets so excited about it.
@@LazyDogFarm awww he is a trooper. I enjoy watching your videos. Bless you and your family.
watermelon color matching t-shirt on your son. nice.
if you run short of material, can you please do one on humic acid for soil/foliar?
Sure, I'll add that to the idea list.
I had a late yellow for the first time. I was sold. Wished I could get more varieties (in Michigan). Typically like seeded. They have more crunch, texture, taste. But that yellow seedless was delicious. More of sweet honey flavor than red watermelon flavor. That's better than any gatorade $Ht you could buy. You down there are actually blessed by a much longer growing season then we have. Start importing your stuff north more.
We're growing some yellow seedless this year -- a variety called Tropical Sunshine -- and I'm looking forward to trying them.
@@LazyDogFarm Keep us posted. I have to hit some more farmer's markets to find variety. I'm also after a peaches and cream corn called ambrosia. It's not just about that bicolor sweetness you ALWAYS find in the grocery stores. August is when the crops really hit the market here.
You have a lovely family.
Thank you 😊
Like your okree, after a storm we had, I noticed some of my Fordhook Limas doing the same thing. Mine look like a mini micro down burst of wind. It is in sporadic places all over the beans, not just around the edges. Mashed flat.
And the rain just keeps coming!
hi Travis, It has rain so much here, I just put the tarp over the area I'm going to plant this fall.
That's a great idea. I've done that in the past to get keep my potato plot dry in late winter/early spring.
Looking forward to the merch! I need me a Lazy Dog Farm shirt! Continued prayers!
Working on it!
Count me in as one who can't live without a rain gauge. I had my rain gauge break on me last year and it took a little while for me to find a decent one. When I found a good one, I bought two. One as a backup just in case the one in use breaks. Not going without one again.
I need to get a better one to replace this big one that isn't very accurate.
That watermelon looked delicious!!
It was very good. Nice texture and super sweet.
Same here, washed out! Apples had fungus on them, but we peeled them and had apple pie, yumm!
Glad you were able to salvage some!
Thanks for sharing. God Bless..
Thanks for watching Bobby!
I was too slow..lol. nice looking hat, though. The watermelon looked delicious. Brooklyn is a superhero...
Orange Crunch by Urban Farmers seeds!
That's correct. Just not before someone else got it. Thanks for playing Cheri!
Looks very delicious A yellow water Melon I need to eat me one .
And I'm here in the Pacific Northwest with no rain and forest fires. We have rain 8 months just not in Summer
Y'all stay safe up there.
You planted the orange crunch variety and you didn't mention where you got the seeds...I enjoy your videos!
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching Momma J!
Have you tried Amarillo watermelon? Unbelievable. Even better than orange crunch.
I haven't, but now I'm intrigued!
@@LazyDogFarm it's yellow inside.
Those watermelons looked great
We've been really happy with our harvests considering this is our first year growing watermelons.
orange crunch ufseed
That was it! Just not quite fast enough. Thanks for playing!
Aw dang! I missed the quiz! Oh well as soon as you get more caps I definitely want one of those! Orange crush I will definitely try that next year. I had to throw out 2 of my baby doll. I don't know if something got to it or if the rain got to them. I mowed those poor corn down lol. Peas next. No sir you are not a jerk. Just recovering. I gotta get my looper sharpened. Mater finger so cute Tyty. Missed Abram. Great work Brooklyn! Love yall!
Thanks Cynthia! Sorry to hear about the watermelons.
Brooklyn rocking lipstick in the garden. You go girl :) So cute 'Let's eat some' Doin nothing but raining here in NH - more rain than sun lately. Urban Farmer Seeds.
Hope y'all get some dry weather soon so you can get back in the garden!
Brilliant melon, Johnny's Seeds
That's the canary melon we planted, but not the watermelon. Thanks for playing!
Brooklyn nice job ! Love the "Bombs Away" water melon drop (lol). Travis, up here in Southern N.H. more rain yesterday (7-19), but sun out today (7-20). However, more unsettled weather on its way ! Did you get heavy rain which pushed the Okra over ? Bummer on your cover crop ! My tomatoes are hurting, along with summer squash, cucumbers doing ok, but still low production, corn doing ok. Enjoyed the video !
I don't think they got "pushed over." I think the soil is so wet that the roots can't support the plant. Thanks for watching Jerry!
LOL the rain gauge chat!!! So funny. For those of 'us' that haven't been successful at growing their favorite fruit....when you said you weren't gonna fuss with all those seeds I yelled "ohhh nooooo" ...LOL 🤣🤣🤣
I know it, I thought the same 😂 my third year trying to grow watermelons lol never succeeded yet!
I guess when you've got plenty of watermelons, you don't fuss with the seeds as much.
@@joasis13 3 for me too!!! 😁
Hi Travisand Brooklyn, your tumeric and ginger will love your hot humid days. Mine has grown 2.5" per day since our 95f days with matching humidity started. Tumeric can get 3.5-4ft tall when conditions are just right. The leaves will get quit large and tropical looking. The edges of the tumeric leaves can turn yellow kinda like your corn when you've fed your corn too much nitrogen fertilizer, just ease off the fertilizer a bit they bounce back quickly..lol.
Thanks for sharing that Linda. We look forward to them getting big and "tropical."
I’m in the suburbs of Long Island and I have a rain gauge lol it’s a gardening thing 😎
When ever you say the Word Titus it always instinctively perks up my ears, other when someone calling myself I never hear that name.
You're the only other Titus we know. We do have a close friend that has a boy with the middle name Titus.
Orange crunch Johnny seeds
That's the right variety name, but the seeds were from Urban Farmer.
Rain gauges are the bomb, I seriously get mad if my husband dumps mine before I see it..he finally bought his own rain gauge..🤣🤣
Haha! Hopefully you put them on opposite sides of the property so you can compare who got the most rain. lol
@@LazyDogFarm we actually did..🤣🤣
I recommend trying a creamy cucumber salad if you have a lot of cucumbers and all ready have pickles I found out about it, and I have to say I really like it is a nice cool summer snack keep up the great videos.
That does sound good!
That musta been a really good watermelon. Lol I could almost taste it, hearing how juicy and crisp .
It was really good! Perfectly ripe!
here in deep south texas its the same with rain gauge talk....lol I work at tractor supply and its a weekly topic
Always good to make sure your rain gauge is accurate compared to everyone else's.
Watermelon bath, lol.
Haha. Sticky bath!
👍👍
👍👊👍
First time I’ve seen you without sun glasses😎
If I'm outside, I have them on. I'm so used to wearing them that I get a headache if I don't have them when I'm outside.
That watermelon is called the Orange Crisp or Orange Crunch or orange crush you never showed the pack so most likey the Orange Crisp watermelon from johnny seed company i found you talking about it in the What Will We Grow Next? -- YOU CHOOSE! video you made.
I just realized that I didn't show the seed packet. But I tell the variety name. And there's only one company that carries that particular variety under that name.
Orange crunch from Baker Creek
Orange crunch from park seeds
Orange Crunch is correct, but it was from Urban Farmer Seeds.
You started your popcorn about a week after I did. (Japanese hullless) Mine are just starting to produce the ear. It will be another week or so before they silk. I don't know how much of that is due to variety vs it being much warmer down there (vs the Chicago area)
Hope you cooked supper and washed dishes last night for her.
I did!
Orange crisp...
Close ... It was Orange Crunch.
Some fine looking watermelons there. I'm growing yellow watermelons this year, I hope they're good.
Hope they're as good as this one!
@@LazyDogFarm me too!
ROFLOL! I thought I was the only one crack a watermelon open like that. people look at me funny. you go girl
Easy way to do it on those big ones.
Orange krush. Gurneys
Close! It was Orange Crunch from Urban Farmer seeds.
Orange Crunch…did I win!?!? 🤗 😂. From Urban Farms
You got it right! Just not quite in time!
Lazy Dog Farm … just kiddin lol 😊
New orchid Johnny's or sherbert swirl Johnny's
Orange crush from baker creek
Good guess, but not it.
Hey Travis, would one of those cooling towels people wear to sporting event be a blessing to your wife?
You missed a beautiful opportunity to feed you wife some watermelon...especially after all her hard work.🙂
You need to get Brooke a wagon while you are down so she want have to walk all of those plants to the woods
We have a wagon and a Kawasaki Mule. Guess she thought it would be quicker to just walk them over there.
@@LazyDogFarm i just love watching you guys and the children
Orange Crisp
Johnny's Orange Crunch
Johnny's doesn't carry a variety by that name, so not it.
We been getting lots of rain here in North La also. My guess is Orange Krush Hybrid from DP Seeds......
Good guess Eddie! It was Orange Crunch from Urban Farmer Seeds.
That was the first one I seen that sold them.. LOL So what is the best water melon to grow if a man is wanting to grow the biggest watermelon? 🤔🤔
@@papawsplace Carolina Cross makes massive watermelons. We've got some over 50 lbs. Problem is, they don't seem to ever get ripe.
That's a waste of water, fertilizer and time then..LOL
I been picking blueberries for a month an there's still a ton on them
I'm in Tennessee and it's always in June and July for us love all your videos keep them coming.
When to pick grain corn?
Usually when the ears are good and dry on the stalk.
Brook is strong!!
She is!
Where did you get your watermelon seeds Hoss tools???
The Orange Crunch variety we tried in this video came from Urban Farmer Seeds.
Orange crisp from jonhhy seed co. Also you have said orange crunch that they could be same just slight change in company names
Good guesses, but not it. The trick is the determining the seed company from where we got it. That will reveal the correct answer.
@@LazyDogFarm I remember you talking about it but I can't remember and I forget which video it was now😂😂
I like dropping the cucumbers in a bucket of water and watch those worms come out. Then i just feed them to the chickens.
“If you have a rain gage you know how much rain you got, if you have 2 rain gages you have no idea.”
That's exactly right!
Don’t matter how many rain gauges we have up here in the pnw… they all read zero - for weeks on end! Last year we couldn’t keep them empty, this year the only thing filling them is the sprinkler 🤣🤣🤣
I think its orange krush.
Close ... It was Orange Crunch.
