@@jonnyhawt8973 Tell me about it. I'm a drafted, disabled, and Republic of South Vietnam combat veteran '68. I was raised on a 1400 acre farm. My next door farm neighbor kid, Alex Zsigo, was killed the month I got drafted. My Army buddy, Jesse Carmona, Jr., got killed in '68. I saw 4 men die at the same time in Vietnam and did not know their names. The government people were terrible to us. So, I got all those fancy degrees and found out all about the criminal class. I interned under the crook Governor Jimmy Carter '74. Carter over sprayed Georgia with toxic fire ant spray. Carter also pardoned all the draft dodgers and then resigned into law the Selective Service Act to draft young men. My first meeting in DC was with a drunk democRAT senator named Talmadge '75. The congressman I worked with went to jail. They're all criminals! I got out of government after 2 years. Even Reagan allowed the Soviet Union to borrow money from the First National Bank of Chicago with an open line of credit. Sam None (Nunn), Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee did nothing. Mississippi politicians are some of the worse too.
I was just at Medical Lake,Wa Veterans Memorial service today. Saying hello to my daddy as the flags flew high. I was born while he was in Vietnam. He passed away last year 6days after my bday
Great apple tree story! The September equinox each year (where day and night are equal in most places on Earth, for that date) is probably the day the lovely lady was talking about. This year it will fall on September 23, so get those cuttings ready ☺ Here in Australia I'd probably have to wait till March 21, 2023 equinox, for the same effect, given reversed seasons. But I'll try both equinoxes as an experiment to see what works. 👍🏻
It will be September...I only say that because it’s probably the day our messiah Yeshua (salvation of Ya) was brought into the world as savior of man who follow him...he is the word (Torah) in the flesh! There’s only one day life was brought onto the earth!..the day of Ya!!! Thank you for your knowledge you shared about the equinox!.. Thank you homestead Deep South for your contributions to the truth of the most high Ya our Elohims creation!.. Shalom!..
Arkansas Traveler is a smaller smooth-skinned slicing tomato, and indeterminate . . . so your two taller plants look like probable candidates! Love the apple tree story . . . people have no idea how much information has been lost (or in some cases buried) over the years!
Mr. Danny, talking about Bonnie plants---- last year I bought a 4 pack of straight neck squash. 2 turned out to be squash, 1 was a egg plant and the 4th was a ornamental gourd. I have bought very few Bonnie plants this year. My grandmother on my mother's side was a full blooded Cherokee Indian Medicine Woman. She taught my mother alot of the old Indian ways about herbs and barks from trees and things like that. I wish we had these wonderful elderly women here with us now. God bless you and Mrs Wanda
Both my grandmother’s passed before I was born.....my grandfather’s not long after.....my parents taught me many of the old ways....my Dad passed away when I was in my 20’s......you;re , right, though....Danny. The wisdom has passed away. Beautiful garden!🌾🙏🏻🌾
I don't have the option of raising "true to cultivar" plants as I just don't have the yard to keep plants adequately separated. But that's ok. My mindset is that, if it grows something edible, I'll take that as a win and keep on planting.
Nice black berry. The easier way to find them hornworms is at night with a blacklight. Them things glow in the dark. Pretty kewl. That's terrible on these seeds. We expect to get what we plant.
Years ago, Bonnie plants had an issue with their tomatoes and they spread blight all over the SW. Convinced me to always start my own. Last year I worked at a local greenhouse, if they didn't have the right tag for a variety, they would use something similar because "most people wouldn't know the difference."
I routinely bag my tomatoes for saving seeds. Then I'm out there with the electric toothbrush till the fruit sets. Then I put red ribbons on my seed tomatoes/squash/ peppers etc. So I know to harvest seed from it. The whole family knows not to harvest my red ribbon fruits/veg.
lol...love the reference to Minnie Pearl. She was a character!! Those tomato plants are gorgeous and just think, I am just now getting my garden in the ground. I sure would love some green fried tomatoes about right now.
I loved the apple 🍎 tree story my grandfather shared a lot of his wisdom with me till he passed and I’d say the tree has to do with the fall equinox which happens normally in September but when night and day are equal I loved watching your video lots of wisdom for us younger folks I’m in Mississippi and just love your homestead it’s lovely 😊
I'm thinking that too, about the equinox - he said Sept. 21 for that year, right? And that date does change slightly back & forth. Might be worth the experiment! Wish the lady had told him how she picked the day - but I think you're right about the day & night hours.
Danny the 3 tomatoe plants you got from town probably what happened was someone put one in the wrong 3 pack, its happened to me several times. People pick over those plants so much and did a switch a roo lol. Love talking with the elderly they are so full of knowledge and wisdom.
From what I read tomatoes don't have to be as far apart as other plants because they mostly pollinate themselves by the wind. Online it says 10-50 feet separation. I've separated mine by 20-30 feet for the past 15 years and collected seed. Working on adding an additional garden to the front yard so I can separate them further. I live in a rural area but it's a 3 street subdivision on a half acre.
Always good to see yawl and learn all kinds of new things. Your lemon grass looks great! Gardening here in central Texas for 30 years and this year it's been very difficult. Hot and dry and we are doing everything we can to keep the garden alive and producing. Spraying everything with seaweed to assist the plants with the extreme hot weather and it seems to be helping. Temps are going back into the 100's, please pray for us for much needed rain. Many blessing to yawl. Mike & Rochelle
While them crossing may be possible, it’s unlikely with tomatoes. They almost always pollinate themselves. If you want to be absolutely sure, bag an unopened flower or group, and when they open, shake or vibrate them to pollinate them by hand. When the fruit sets you can remove the bag and mark for saving. The round ones are the Arkansas travelers.
In my town I found that Ace Hardware is the most economical place to buy vegetable plants, but I noticed that when some customers are going thru the plants to pick the ones, they want they shuffle the containers and markers around and could easily mix them up.. I usually start my plants inside from seeds and move them outside when it warms up enough but this year i got lazy ( I'm 74 ) and thought I would buy my plants .BIG Mistake .
PS has anyone noticed the price of the bigger single potted Bonnie Plants. I won't buy them. It would cost me around $400.00 To plant my usual !00 tomato plants
I’m so intrigued about the Apple tree story. I would love to know how to figure out what is the right day of the year if you have any more information on that. Love your videos.
Thanks Danny and Ms Wanda! That was a wonderful story about the lady that told you how to plant the apple branch. Good that you followed her instructions to the letter. Always enjoy getting out early in my own garden. Take care. 💕
The hornworms tore my tomatoes up over 2 days! I pulled 5 off of a few plants , thought I’d gotten them all … nope! I went ahead and harvested all of the green tomatoes and yanked the plants out. Going to start more for a small fall crop … but w the grand solar minimum, the freezes may get them early 🙄 … heading to Charlie’s U-pick Thursday to make sure I have plenty. Hopefully, theirs are ok this year! 💚Mims
Danny & Miss Wanda I am currently saving my own seeds from harvest this year- the plants all came from last years saved seeds. The cherry tomato seeds are exactly the same taste etc as last years so I am very excited. Also re-saving pumpkin seeds from my last year seeds planted & harvested this year again.You re teaching s so much- Thank You. Cheers Denise- Australia
Good morning Mr Danny & Beautiful Mrs Wanda ! Thank you for everything you teach us all ! I appreciate you both more then you will ever know ! I dug up my Norlan reds & Kennabac whites other day - I was a tad behind as me & my husband came down with that Sickness around Christmas eve . I cried & laughed when we were digging up our Tators . I put the video on Instagram... Today up early to get my sweet potatoes in the ground and more okra - green beans etc. Succession planting as much as we can . Have a beautiful day . Mrs Josette Tharp Montgomery County , Texas 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Have a great day Danny and Wanda I really enjoy your stories happy for the chicken's would love to see which one got the worms and most of all love the wise story about the apple tree. God Bless
Danny you are so right. There is so much incompetence these days, can’t get anything right any more. Great video guys! So many different things. Blue Jays are pretty but are the most obnoxious birds lol. Wanda.. what are you doing with all of the lemon grass besides tea?
My lemon grass came back in the spring after I harvested last fall (I didn't take the roots out of what I wasn't going to use because I wanted to mulch the dried heads). I live in the Piedmont North Carolina. God bless y'all!!!
I bought a zucchini squash start one year, you only need one here. Well, it grew beautifully and sprouted my first ever spaghetti squash. I had never eaten spaghetti squash, but I liked it so much that now I grow at least four plants per year. Can't be mad about that mishap lesson. Also, I am often jealous of y'all at Deep South Homestead. You are out there harvesting beautiful veg and I am finally planting in 40 degree weather this week (zone 5). Then I see those tomato worms and I am praising Jesus I live where the evils of the garden die in the winter or just don't exist at all. Thanks for reminding me I am blessed as y'all are, just a little differently. Happy Memorial Day Wanda and Danny! Be well!
We had a rip snorting hail storm here which pounded the heck out of our peonies. Fortunately we still had enough left to go decorate the family graves. I am inspired to save seeds. I figure the more information I have the better a job I will do. God bless Deep South Homestead and all who dwell there. The fire ants, not so much.
I haven't had any tomatoe worms in over 30 years! I've been truly blessed with no pests on my tomatoes. Those berries look delish! We have had issues with stink bugs this year! They are even getting in the house! We haven't seen those in years either! We normally have issues with those Japanese Beetles horribly!
Jomama, you must practice good natural control. Turning the soil in early fall, getting rid of the pupae, and planting a cover with nitrogen producing plants make the difference. Again, turning the soil in the spring makes a difference for me. Beneficial wasp make a difference too. Marigolds and dills lure them away. Everybody does things differently, but I don't have time hunting for hornworms or using poison.
@@fastsetinthewest I don't do anything special except leave the last layer of fall leaves on the ground and turn the soil early spring, a month or so before planting. Put some Epsom salts in the soil as its turned. Not much at all. And some worm castings when I plant. I didn't even know what a stink bug was until this year when 3 of them got into my house! I haven't found any on my plants yet so hoping it was a fluke.
Looks great guys. I wish I had more time for my garden. When you work a 9 to 5 job you just can not be with it as much as a person should but it is doing pretty good with what time I do get to put in to it.
wow, that is really cool out. Here in florida, it was 78 degrees, at around 80 percent humidity by 7am. I am growing potatoes in our above ground beds. We do have those pesky white flies. They trash all the leaves fast. Good information, thank you.
Had similar results from a Bonnie Ark Trav -- just small plants with strange tomatoes. Never saw so many mislabeled plants & seeds from different sources, as I'm seeing this year.
You could get small brown paper sacks and cover a cluster of unopened blooms, tie it off till they are pollinated and remove sack and harvest seeds when time.
Most people don't share knowledge of something because they realize others aren't interested..someone in the comments said it being the equinox that causes that to happen...according to them, it happens on the 23rd of September this year but do some research into it
@@cocomochalatte5937 I read the comment about the equinox but that was their guess. The opportunity was lost to share the wisdom learned, for those that might have been interested. Perhaps it will be shared on Patreon or in a book.
@@barbaratucker7125 I love Danny and Wanda. I'm not the most tactful person, I admit that, but he said there is only 1 day a year and it changes from year to year. He knows the day. It would seem the fall equinox would be most likely but he didn't say that. And then what specific day during the equinox? I'm not even planting apple trees so this definitely doesn't even apply to me but I was left feeling like I was taken by the old man in the State Farm commercial where he has a dollar on the end of his fishing pole, "You almost had it but you gotta be quicker than that!" 😆🤣
So little pride in work today. I was taught to always do my best, no matter how big or small the job is. Even though I'm on a tight budget, I now buy seeds from trusted sources, and pay more for them. Buying from a big box or dollar store is a crap-shoot.
Wanda n Danny this grandma has learned so much from the two of you! I’m from Chicago, probably will never do any of what you do, city girl my whole life ! Learning is fun, you guys make it so! Thank you!!
You can put a blossom bag around brand new flowers that haven't opened yet. When they open, shake the branch with the flowers to pollinate them. Once the tomatoes show themselves, you take the bag off, tie a ribbon or string around that branch so you remember where they are, and save the seeds from those tomatoes.
Julia Hovey is right, smaller, smooth and grow in clusters. The two on the right. Three years ago, rain drowned out a half dozen of out tomato plants. I went to the local green hose and bought a half dozen Amish Paste to replace the others; All came up cherry- disappointing. God Bless and stay safe.
Happy Memorial Day. Your garden looks amazing. Don't have much of ours out yet, North Eastern KY. Too much rain. Around here we say everyone is in training, can't get anything right!!! God help us!!
I am getting more and more glad that I have seed saved from years back. As long as it’s still viable, I have a much better chance of getting when I thought I bought, and I WILL be saving seed!
I've never tried it but they say if you go out with a black light at night those tomato worms will glow in the black light and you can find them all easy.
I know they suck for tomatoes but those horn worms grow into lunar moths which are beautiful. They retain their beautiful green colors and some years we have many and some years we have none.. Well, now where am I going to plant 5 different tomato varieties? We are blessed with wild blackberries all over the property and if every bloom sets fruit this year its going to be a good year. Living in Maine there's no shortage of wild blueberries, elderberry, and raspberries either. But I will say here it is almost June and things are just getting started. Lord forgive me but I do envy those in the south.
The two tall ones are Arkansas Traveler by the shape. I’ve grown them. I’ve never gotten a hybrid growing tomatoes close together. Get you an black light to find the hornworms at night. It’s fun. They light up easy to find.
You could still isolate and collect seeds from both--there should be plenty of time left in the year. Take cuttings from the indeterminate plants and plant them elsewhere. Once you're sure the cuttings have established in the new spot, terminate the established indeterminate plants in the garden and remove all existing fruit and flowers. Of course, it's possible than none of the plants are Arkansas Traveler tomatoes.
Those blackberries look so good! My son has been picking the wild dewberries out at his grandparents place so I have some in the freezer, but I prefer those big ole blackberries like you have.
Danny, I would venture a guess as to what happened. An employee at the local store, probably a high school kid, ended up combining plants from two sets of cell packs or if they were in individual pots, the labels got mixed up. I'm sure the kid had no idea how much it matters. As to saving seeds.... You can buy Arkansas Traveler seeds from quite a few online companies. I would just buy a pack and either start them in another area of the farm or save them for next year.
Danny and Wanda have been watching you everyday and have learned from your wisdoms. God is using you as a vessel. The cooler install was great. You are prepared as much as anyone can be. I don't have land or a garden and feel poor and I'm prepared Gods blessings to you both.

@@jonnyhawt8973 Tell me about it. I'm a drafted, disabled, and Republic of South Vietnam combat veteran '68. I was raised on a 1400 acre farm. My next door farm neighbor kid, Alex Zsigo, was killed the month I got drafted. My Army buddy, Jesse Carmona, Jr., got killed in '68. I saw 4 men die at the same time in Vietnam and did not know their names. The government people were terrible to us. So, I got all those fancy degrees and found out all about the criminal class.
I interned under the crook Governor Jimmy Carter '74. Carter over sprayed Georgia with toxic fire ant spray. Carter also pardoned all the draft dodgers and then resigned into law the Selective Service Act to draft young men. My first meeting in DC was with a drunk democRAT senator named Talmadge '75.

I’ve never had problems with seeds until this year.
As soon as I heard determinate vs indeterminate, I knew I was in over my head! This was very very interesting and I learned a lot from you.
Love your channel 🥰
Years ago, Bonnie plants had an issue with their tomatoes and they spread blight all over the SW. Convinced me to always start my own.
Last year I worked at a local greenhouse, if they didn't have the right tag for a variety, they would use something similar because "most people wouldn't know the difference."
Sad
"...most people don't know the difference."? That's disgusting! We wouldn't want to spend three minutes educating people, huh?
We planted Roma tomatoes we got from a local nursery and they turned out to be cherry tomatoes.
Good morning, Danny and Wanda! Rocking those new over alls!
Nobody can fathom the amount of wisdom that has been lost. It's a shame. Young folks always think they know better.
I think the lemon grass is trying to tell you it wants to be planted under the apple tree. 😉
Good morning Mr Danny and Ms Wanda! Great story about the Apple. Love watching you two. The knowledge and wisdom is priceless!
I haven't planted any blackberries yet but I have a yard full of wild blackberries
Just bag some of the blossoms to prevent the cross pollination. The more round tomatoes on the 2 plants look like the Arkansas Traveler
I routinely bag my tomatoes for saving seeds. Then I'm out there with the electric toothbrush till the fruit sets.

I haven't had any tomatoe worms in over 30 years! I've been truly blessed with no pests on my tomatoes.
Those berries look delish! We have had issues with stink bugs this year! They are even getting in the house! We haven't seen those in years either! We normally have issues with those Japanese Beetles horribly!
Consider yourself lucky. I wave a tomato plant and they seem to come crawling....
Yes, the beetles....they love invasive bamboo plants so I left them there in the yard and the beetles don't touch my garden in return.
Jomama, you must practice good natural control. Turning the soil in early fall, getting rid of the pupae, and planting a cover with nitrogen producing plants make the difference. Again, turning the soil in the spring makes a difference for me. Beneficial wasp make a difference too. Marigolds and dills lure them away. Everybody does things differently, but I don't have time hunting for hornworms or using poison.
@@fastsetinthewest I don't do anything special except leave the last layer of fall leaves on the ground and turn the soil early spring, a month or so before planting. Put some Epsom salts in the soil as its turned. Not much at all. And some worm castings when I plant. I didn't even know what a stink bug was until this year when 3 of them got into my house! I haven't found any on my plants yet so hoping it was a fluke.
@@Jomama02 Exactly your secret sauce. Epsom salts especially does wonders. Thank you so kindly for the reply. You're real community.
That's a great story about your apple tree! I wonder if that one day was the equinox.
Looks great guys. I wish I had more time for my garden. When you work a 9 to 5 job you just can not be with it as much as a person should but it is doing pretty good with what time I do get to put in to it.
In the future you will have to depend on it or do without eating.
wow, that is really cool out. Here in florida, it was 78 degrees, at around 80 percent humidity by 7am. I am growing potatoes in our above ground beds. We do have those pesky white flies. They trash all the leaves fast. Good information, thank you.
Had similar results from a Bonnie Ark Trav -- just small plants with strange tomatoes. Never saw so many mislabeled plants & seeds from different sources, as I'm seeing this year.
Us too
You could get small brown paper sacks and cover a cluster of unopened blooms, tie it off till they are pollinated and remove sack and harvest seeds when time.
Mr. Danny is doing quality control on the berries. Looks tasty
I have been saving seeds and they won't germinate. I think they have been radiated. So disappointing.
I just picked my first HW!! Penny sure did love it!
Would be a very nice knowledge to know how she came up with when to plant that apple tree. Knowledge like that needs to be shared
Unfortunately, not sharing it is the reason such wisdom is lost.
Most people don't share knowledge of something because they realize others aren't interested..someone in the comments said it being the equinox that causes that to happen...according to them, it happens on the 23rd of September this year but do some research into it
@@cocomochalatte5937 I read the comment about the equinox but that was their guess. The opportunity was lost to share the wisdom learned, for those that might have been interested. Perhaps it will be shared on Patreon or in a book.
Danny didn't seem to know the exact time to plant. If he knew, I'm sure he would share
@@barbaratucker7125 I love Danny and Wanda. I'm not the most tactful person, I admit that, but he said there is only 1 day a year and it changes from year to year. He knows the day. It would seem the fall equinox would be most likely but he didn't say that. And then what specific day during the equinox? I'm not even planting apple trees so this definitely doesn't even apply to me but I was left feeling like I was taken by the old man in the State Farm commercial where he has a dollar on the end of his fishing pole, "You almost had it but you gotta be quicker than that!" 😆🤣
I over slept, but get to enjoy coffee ☕ with Danny & Wanda in their garden🌱.. Sorry to see the seed issue continues. I hope I don't have any issues.
Wish I could find the photos but we had a black tomato hornworm hatch out.
It has something to do with cold temperatures at hatching time.
So little pride in work today. I was taught to always do my best, no matter how big or small the job is. Even though I'm on a tight budget, I now buy seeds from trusted sources, and pay more for them. Buying from a big box or dollar store is a crap-shoot.
Wanda n Danny this grandma has learned so much from the two of you! I’m from Chicago, probably will never do any of what you do, city girl my whole life ! Learning is fun, you guys make it so! Thank you!!
You can put a blossom bag around brand new flowers that haven't opened yet. When they open, shake the branch with the flowers to pollinate them. Once the tomatoes show themselves, you take the bag off, tie a ribbon or string around that branch so you remember where they are, and save the seeds from those tomatoes.
That’s what I’m gonna do with my giant crimson :)
Julia Hovey is right, smaller, smooth and grow in clusters. The two on the right. Three years ago, rain drowned out a half dozen of out tomato plants. I went to the local green hose and bought a half dozen Amish Paste to replace the others; All came up cherry- disappointing. God Bless and stay safe.
Happy Memorial Day. Your garden looks amazing. Don't have much of ours out yet, North Eastern KY. Too much rain.
Around here we say everyone is in training, can't get anything right!!! God help us!!
It is just so sad to me how much knowledge has been lost and the worst part is that most people could care less as long as they can go to the store.
So true...
Those days are coming to an end
Being in Missouri we have our blue jays and they love our blackberries and mulberries lol.
Beautiful garden
Mockingbirds are having a field day pecking at my tomatoes. I am so frustrated.
I am getting more and more glad that I have seed saved from years back. As long as it’s still viable, I have a much better chance of getting when I thought I bought, and I WILL be saving seed!
I've never tried it but they say if you go out with a black light at night those tomato worms will glow in the black light and you can find them all easy.
I know they suck for tomatoes but those horn worms grow into lunar moths which are beautiful. They retain their beautiful green colors and some years we have many and some years we have none.. Well, now where am I going to plant 5 different tomato varieties? We are blessed with wild blackberries all over the property and if every bloom sets fruit this year its going to be a good year. Living in Maine there's no shortage of wild blueberries, elderberry, and raspberries either. But I will say here it is almost June and things are just getting started. Lord forgive me but I do envy those in the south.
Good morning Danny and Wanda. Everything looks wonderful on the homestead. Have a blessed day.
The two tall ones are Arkansas Traveler by the shape. I’ve grown them. I’ve never gotten a hybrid growing tomatoes close together. Get you an black light to find the hornworms at night. It’s fun. They light up easy to find.
You could still isolate and collect seeds from both--there should be plenty of time left in the year. Take cuttings from the indeterminate plants and plant them elsewhere. Once you're sure the cuttings have established in the new spot, terminate the established indeterminate plants in the garden and remove all existing fruit and flowers. Of course, it's possible than none of the plants are Arkansas Traveler tomatoes.
Those blackberries look so good! My son has been picking the wild dewberries out at his grandparents place so I have some in the freezer, but I prefer those big ole blackberries like you have.
Me too. That's what I have
good morning
Wow! That tree is amazing! We are going to have do some research and see if we can figure out the dates. Great story. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning 😃
Danny, I would venture a guess as to what happened. An employee at the local store, probably a high school kid, ended up combining plants from two sets of cell packs or if they were in individual pots, the labels got mixed up. I'm sure the kid had no idea how much it matters. As to saving seeds.... You can buy Arkansas Traveler seeds from quite a few online companies. I would just buy a pack and either start them in another area of the farm or save them for next year.
Thanks
Today Memorial Day and every Memorial Day I pray for those who died and I hope for the future that no one has to go to war.
I had the same thing happen to me last year with pack of Burpee seeds that were supposed to be Romas they came out like a beefsteak
Kind of like your video----giving it a + much thanks from Oregon
Danny and Wanda have been watching you everyday and have learned from your wisdoms. God is using you as a vessel. The cooler install was great. You are prepared as much as anyone can be. I don't have land or a garden and feel poor and I'm prepared
Gods blessings to you both.
Your garden looks 👍 great Mr. Danny and Miss Wanda ❤ 😀 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
