oh my God here in Mexico it,s so hard to get thouse seeds and you are saying you give it to the chickens hahaha I now wanna be one of your chickens. Grate video.
Baker Creek Heirloom Seed catalog has Black Krim seeds and ships to Mexico for $12.00 for the whole order. Online the the web address is rare seeds. Don't worry it is the same. And if you love non-soggy zukes try/order this one also. Zucchino Rampicante, a Italian Heirloom. I did a full video on this as it is outstanding. Best thing I grew that season. You can find that video under my Baker Creek playlist, check it out first. I thank you so much for watching and commenting. Have a great night.
I bought a pack of 10 knee high pantyhose which i cut in half and use as hammocks for cantaloupe and watermelon. Strips of pantyhose also work well when you need to tie a plant stem to the trellis. Then wash and use them again next season. You might also try the MN Midget. Similar size but heirloom. High yield and delicious.
I love that idea, have used scrap material prior from moms sewing room. And I have used knee highs to cover a mini melons for trellis support and hoping to safeguard from a groundhog. Minnesota Midgets are definitely on my radar. I caught a great sale on Burpee seeds and went hog wild at Home Buys. I got Honey Rock and Crenshaw cantaloupes for 74₵ and I got Hale's Best for 5₵ at dollar tree. And when I picked them up I was hoping to find Minnesota Midgets, but no luck. Yet. 😉 But still on my gardening radar. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it. Have a great holiday season! 🎃🎄🦃
Did your seeds collected produce the same coloring as the parent plant?
Yes they did. Thank you for asking and watching. 💕
I love how you toned down that music a bit..super super appreciate the extra efforts! ❤😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Just started to grow some indoors now i kindy hope i get those different ones. Ps. Those small ones are pimentos
@@kaoswarrior00 Omg thank you for the name. Hope you have a great harvest!! Thank you for watching and commenting. 😀
Seed is too young. Need to wait still the color turn butternut color skin then seed will be mature enough for saving for next year
@@vynguyen6376 Thank you so much for that information. I also appreciate you taking the time watching and commenting. Hope you had a fantastic gardening season this year.
Tried the carrot and green onion seed tape the last 3 years. Total bust. Won't try again. Excellent soil in raised beds. Been farming for 57 years. Short cuts don't always work well.
Morning Joe, Wow 57 years of farming, that sounds wonderful to me. I agree, I don't buy the seed tape at all anymore. I thank you so much for watching & commenting on your seed tape experience. I hope you had a great gardening season. Have a great day, Bren
Thanks for sharing!!!
@@G.W.H. You are very welcome thank you for watching. I am currently working on a second year video experience with Prairie fire and Thorburn terra-cotta tomatoes currently. As I greatly enjoyed them🍅
Thankfully I have a lot a bees in my area who are awesome pollinators
That sounds wonderful. That was a lot of work haven't hand pollinated like that since, took this season off from that duty. Thank you for watching & commenting. Have a great night.
Dam!!!! Best tasting tomato I have ever eaten!
Absolutely, growing them again this season. I just have to have them. Try a Indigo Cherry Drop if you want that taste in a mini tomato. I thank you so much for watching and commenting. Have a great Sunday.
I have to race the dry squirrels here! I grow sunflowers for the birds. That yellow bird you had is a Goldfinch btw. The squirrels bite the whole head off, take it some place and make a huge mess😅

@breninthegarden4984 it has been a late season, everything seems to just pick up. We got lots of rain, hels.
Every seed I have ever bought from the Dollar Tree has grown and made beautiful flowers because the brand that they carry is also one that Walmart and Lowe's in Home Depot Cal

Hope you are having a wonderful gardening season. 🌼
I love these tomatoes. I want to grown them from seeds. Should I wash the seeds? should they dry out? exactly what do I do to get a fruiting plant? Thank you.
@@KathleenFelix-y2f I am doing a video on how a save tomatoes seeds soon. I’ve seen this done a number of ways. I do not wash tomato seeds. I do let them dry on a paper towel for a few weeks. And then they are ready to go for me next season. Look for that upcoming video, it could explain this in greater detail. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. I hope that you have a great weekend.
Great video😊
@@tomatoespoppieseverything Thank you so much I really enjoyed my melons. 😍 Have a great day.
When you transplant, do you leave the plants in the rolls and place it in the ground as well? Beautiful harvest!
Yes I do. They are bio gradable so no worries at all. Thank you so much for the compliment, watching and commenting. I very much appreciate it! Have a great night.
Thanks for sharing!
@@tomatoespoppieseverything You are so welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting.
This is so helpful! Thank you!
Thank you Ashley
Just a heads up for folks like me in warmer zones. Merveille des quatre saisons does NOT germinate well at temperatures over 75°F. They might germinate, they might not. HOWEVER, the funny thing is that ONCE GERMINATED, Merveille des quatre saisons does great in almost all weather... hot to below freezing. I'm in zone 9b and Merveille des quatre saisons does fine. I use the Kratky method all year long, even with temperatures in the 90's in the summer and then down to freezing in the winter. A remarkable lettuce. And no, mine doesn't bolt nor does it turn bitter in the summer unless I let it go too long. You can let it go somewhat in the winter but not in the summer.
Thank you so much for all the great zone 9 info.
Beautiful video... great time lapse... i hope you're growing more tomatoes now, and less lawn... thank you...
Thank you so much. Very happy you enjoyed the video. LESS lawn sounds so wonderful, working on that. Have a awesome Sunday.
this tomatoe is semi-deterninate and also is less then 70 days for sure (zone 5).. cos i grow it every year and either comes with or before the "early girl" which is rated between 52-60 days.. (yes i grow hybrid early girls, it is pretty nuch the only variety that is sutable for dry farming, and if does not rain they can be on another level)
@@antondavidoff150 thank you for all that good info. I can’t wait for this seasons harvest of them to come in. My out of town company will get to sample them! Along with Prairie fire, Black Krims & Giant Belgium’s. BLT’S for sure will be happening over here. 🥓🎉
I love how you show you don't need a lot of space for a good garden.
@@pamschonfarber1041 yes I love my little spaces the gardening in. They are very manageable for me. I also love showing people that they don’t need a traditional garden to get the job done. Right now I am working on getting some raised gardens fixed in the backyard. Thank you for subscribing and thank you for watching. I appreciate all of your comments. And you being very nice.
BTW I'm in nw mountains in maine also 5a, not too many ppl videoing in this zone so I am a new subscriber, that trellis looks real sturdy, also those melons look so good what are they called again? I also have been gardening over 40 yrs., i don't do video's though, i should.
@@pamschonfarber1041 Hi Pam the melons are Noir De Carmes. I got them from Pinetree seed catalog, which I love that catalog so much great info.
2 things, what are the names of that long squash? Also my volumn is all the way up & your really hard to hear.
@@pamschonfarber1041 zucchino rampicante is the name, which I got from Baker Creek however I have seen it at Pine tree as well. You can find my video under the Baker Creek playlist were growing squash, zucchini. If you want to check it out a little bit more before you invest any money or time into this. However, I’m deeply in love with it. I am working on the volume issue for this season of growing. I think you for nicely bringing that to my attention. again, I thank you for all of your comments and watching and subscribing. Hope you have a great rest of your summer.
@@breninthegarden4984 you also. And thank you, I never saw babies squash bugs before, I went on a mission to get all the eggs, and I had an infestation of squash bug babies, oh so gross. Did the best I could as I have a bad back, can only bend over so long before I can't stand straight up, anyway I cut alot of leaves and burnt them as well as spraying the with DE, Food grade. Also a good thing to have as it should do the job. Rusted Root recommended to spray on at days end, rinse in the morning and spray again at night, do this for about a wk. I actually am leaving it on for a couple of days as I want the squash bugs & cucumber beetles GONE, I mean business.
@@pamschonfarber1041 I did not plant any cukes, melons or squash this season. I miss the harvests but not the squash bugs. So I have had a wonderful break from them. I too have physical issues and am working on new raised beds. I really miss gardening in them, but next year. Yeah! 🥳
I need to check regularly, i been using neem in a jar plus saturating the plants
@@pamschonfarber1041 I have heard of neem oil, haven’t used it myself. Would you recommend Nemo oil?
@@breninthegarden4984 yes, it's all natural and doesn't hurt the plants, best on the plant later afternoon, saturate all the plant until dripping. Make sure to get cold pressed this is the best read the label carefully and by all means research.
Excellent video! I really like the fact that it’s so short too! Just bought seeds. Think I can get a harvest before fall in our growing zone 7a. Love your videos ❤
@@elizabethr2908 I thank you so much for watching & leaving a nice comment. I hope your crop of prairie fire tomato plants really excel for you. I again am growing those this year and cannot wait. Hope you have a great gardening season😀
@@elizabethr2908 thank you so much. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. I myself am regrowing the prairie fire tomatoes, and I cannot wait for those sweet little delights. And BLTs! Hope you have a fantastic growing season. 🍅
I still would like to see how to prune these cantaloupes. I have huge pots with 2 in each pots & metal trelising going along the width of 6 pots. There are si many vines it is unbelievable. Planted them into pots when they hadseveral leaves. But itis.uncontrollable. I raise Persian cukes & have learned thatwhen a mini cuke developed youremoved the little protrusion next to it which would be a branch. The cukes are doing well because of this method. SO I would like to know is there a technique for the Cantaloupe that I can use next year, I'd itstoolate now.
Yes, you can, but it will affect the sweetness of your melons. Starting at soil level following the main vine, you can cut your first side shoot or lateral vine completely. Remaining lateral vines or sides shoot you can cut them in half or leaving eight leaf sets. Also, if you already have 2 to 3 melons on the same vine you can prune that vine. But leave three leaf sets above. I thank you so much for watching & have a great night 😃!
44 packets! Oh….you crazy! (Lol, so many worse things to buy! You did VERY well at that sales price!). One can NEVER have too many zinnias. Careful on 4 o’clocks , they are an aggressive plant spreader for many people. Love cantaloupe and I grow mine vertically as well. Hmm. I need to check around in my big box stores for some sales. Thanks for your video! Btw, I’ve purchased empty seed packets on Amazon….i’ll use for gifts and for keeping some of my faves.
Thanks for the heads up on the 4 o’clocks. And the Amazon seed packets, I’ve seen those in a few seed catalogs (of course) Amazon is probably way cheaper. Thanks so much for watching & commenting on that crazy good deal. Can’t wait for next season, I might have to bust out some of that lettuce for a fall harvest 🍁. Have a great holiday week! 🇺🇸
They are much nicer to look at than a grey tomato cage. Thanks for the video!
Yes they are 😀 thank you for watching! Have a great holiday week 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Marigold seeds are so easy to collect just dead head your blooms then pull the bloom and it will pull the seeds from inside
I did go over seed saving in the individual video just on the Marigolds alone with all the details starting them from seed till fall 🍁🍂😀. I thank you so much for commenting & watching. Hope you have a fantastic summer.
How often did you water and fertilizer them? I want mine to grow big too.😊❤
I watered when they needed it, I water deeply not daily. I don’t fertilize anything. But there was a bit in the MiracleGro potting soil I started them in in the egg cartons. Which was a tiny space to start with. Have a great night. 🌼
I bought these cause I'm cheap, planted a few in a series of 2 gallon pots on a shady deck, holy cow these things get huge, dedinitly need to support, I used Tomatoe cages, great video thank-you
I’ve had great success w/ my $1 dollartree towers. I grew flowers 🌸 & herbs 🪴, & stacked them 6 high. I fill to the brim w/ soil & mulch a little. Fertilized every 2 wks. Also,I have a 7 high greenstalk that I love. I grow micro tomatoes 🍅, 🫑 peppers, flowers 🌺, & herbs in it. It was $136 total on a sale. I have also seen towers in stores that would be $30 to stack 6 high. These have larger pots like the greenstalk. There’s actually something for every wallet.
That is so nice to hear. I will be keeping an eye out for those $30 towers. 😎👍🌸 I am in the process of developing a new gardening area. I thought maybe I could use these in the middle of a full sun raised bed. With 🐝 loving cascading 🌸 . Lots of garden ideas floating around. I thank you so much for sharing how you utilize these with me. Hope you have a great garden season!!
Ive got noting but good results from getting seeds at Dollar Tree. the Zinia's I got were killer. they were so big and kept all summer long
I just picked up some Zienna seeds from them. So glad to hear you had great results with them. 😀
I have been buying Dollar Tree seeds for 3 years now. And they are great. You know you can pollinate those three melons yourself by getting a male flower and brushing the inside of the female flowers? Thank you for sharing
👍 to $ 🌲. Yes I do know how to hand pollinate. I was just so burnt out from the season prior with all the sugar cube melons & other melons I just decided to let the bees do the work that year. This season no melons I needed a easy no fuss garden. Lots of things in personal life to get done. I do have videos on channel just about hand pollination & in some of my deep dive variety videos I cover as well. But thank you for telling me always good to spread the knowledge and share. 😘 Thank you for watching & commenting. Have a wonderful day and garden season. 🌺🐝
Every since I can remember I was getting my seeds from dollar general or dollar and a quarter store but here in tennessee none of my local store even had seeds this year
I’m sorry to hear that. I can tell you Pinetree is a great seed catalog with prices from $1.95 and up. Most packs will last you a few years if you keep them cool & dry. I have several videos on the channel displaying their seeds, highly recommend them as they are one of the most economical catalogs with a great selection and a lot of planting information in that catalog. Hope this helps as a backup plan. 😎
@@breninthegarden4984 absolutely i have been an avid seed collector since the 90s and as long as you keep the moisture and sunlight away from them they can have a very high germination rate even after 15-20 years
Dang those marigolds look like something out of the Amazon rainforest lol. Like a dang bush. Respect to you. Love it. I live in West Virignia right outside of Charleston WV. I had the same rabbits hanging around outside but my labrador chases them when im not looking so they have moved on which is depressing. I had them for years they would come right up to me. But I got a dog and I love him but I couldnt get him to stop chasing them hes 2 years old now :(. I miss them I would give them carrots.
I understand we have a few cats that get after mine. And it just about kills me. The love of a pet is so special. Yes I was just tickled with those Marigolds. Planted many tomatoes & pumpkins this season I will share as well. Thank you for watching and the nice comment, world needs nice folks. Have a blessed day & gardening season!
Hey thanks for doing this I just bought all the peppers they had offered at the dollar store. I shit my pants when I seen 4 packs for 1.25 or w/e. I got the Hungarian wax, cayenne, habanero, and Hot Peppers. Its so fun growing, I seriously am growing more tomatoes and peppers than I could eat. lol I guess thats why people do canning? haha nice homemade trellis for green beans I laughed to hard because mine looks like yours. Whatever works works. haha
😄
I’ve been thinking about a new project make a hanger trellis with zip ties. Just need a good collection of hangers.
Gorgeous! When did you start your seeds? And when did you plant outside?
I plant on Mother’s Day weekend & start them 3-4 weeks prior. That’s is my usual plan in northwest ohio. But check weather first that why I said 3-4 weeks some seasons can be delayed due to snow etc. Thanks for watching & commenting 🌼❤️😀
Lovely garden!! I just started and got some seed packets from Dollar Tree and they are doing well so far.
Thank you so much for watching. Glad to hear your seeds are going well for you. This season I bought some expensive seeds from Jung's (love them) very unique pumpkins & gourds. Can't wait for fall & Halloween! 👻 Have a great garden season!!
I have questions and suggestions!!! Your growing method for tomatoes is pretty interesting. Do you usually grow three plants at a time and prune every week in order to control their size? You could get more tomatoes if you cut back on the pruning. The leaves are like solar panels - the plants need that energy to produce the tomatoes. When you prune them every week, you're reducing their energy to grow their fruit. Usually when tomatoes are pruned, you're cutting the suckers that are growing from the main stem in order to keep the plants from growing out of control and every which way lol. And if you want to keep your tomato plant at a certain height, then you prune the growing tip on top of the plant. This was the way I learned how to grow them almost 20yrs ago. But I keep an open mind when I see methods that are drastically different, and since you were still getting harvests, I can't knock the process you're doing. 👍🏾 I'm in a warmer growing zone (now 8B), and I usually start my tomato seeds in January under lights (i.e cardboard box with LED light in a clip lamp lol 😁) By May, I have ripe tomatoes to harvest. I start pruning when I see the suckers. And when the fruit set happens, I prune the leaves under where the tomatoes are to help with air flow. By only growing one plant in its space (I grow in containers, but it's the same concept in ground too), you don't have to prune so much and the plant won't compete for nutrients with other tomato plants growing so close. 😁 I've grown Paul Robeson tomatoes before, and they are soooooo good! When you grow one at a time, you can afford to let your plant get bushy - as long as you control the suckers and the leaves/branches under the fruit set. Then you can get more tomatoes much earlier since they have the energy (leaves = solar panels) to produce more for you. The tea leaves and composting in place is genius when it comes to fertilizing your garden! Do you use any other fertilizers with your plants? If you could get a hold of some nettle leaves, that will help your tomatoes set a LOT of fruit! I've used leftover nettle tea to water my tomatoes and even put the spent tea leaves in the soil around the tomatoes (gotta cover them well with soil/mulch because they'll smell foul if you don't lol 😄) I was looking at the Blue Cream Berries tomatoes on the Baker Creek site and they were already sold out when I got there! You got all the cool tomatoes early! Very envious! I'm definitely subscribing to see how the rest of your garden is growing! Cheers! 😁
Hi thank you for the great comment. Yes I usually do 3 plants per space with tomatoes. I was extra scissor happy that season. Plus heat wave, lots of rain & humidity brought some black spot fungus, which caused for proactive pruning as well. I spoke about this in another tomato video so I did not cover it again. Plus this video was already sooooo long. Heat wave also effected the harvest as it dried up some of the blossoms. At the end of the day very happy with my pruning method. I have never used shade cloth before, thinking I might want to start. With all the heat waves here in zone 5 now. Do you use them? If so what do think? I wish I could start in January, love your system & would love a bigger greenhouse, but just not feasible. But don't all gardeners want a BIG greenhouse? I did not plant Paul Robinson this year, but I did plant my Black Krim's. Also planted those Prairie Fire & Thorburn's terra cotta again. I don't use any other fertilizers. Technically the Miraclegro that I seed started in has some, but I used very little of it. I have seen videos on the nettles fertilizer. But I have a partial disability & carrying water would not be good for my body. That is also why I just compost in place, I can not do all that turning. Also another reason why I stay on top of the pruning, I can not let things get away from me & become a big project. But I can still garden!!! So I am very HAPPY about that. I make myself wait till after Christmas to order all my seeds, but I usually have my order by end of January in my hot little hands. LOL This season I only ordered 4 packets from Jung's $44. Got very unique pumpkins & gourds. I am excited to share with everybody. I hope you have a blessed day & garden!!! 🐝
Omg 😳 I forgot to tell you Thank You for subscribing!!! 💕
Great video review. I love dollar tree🌲 seeds. Very good germination and very economical, especially for new gardeners.
Thank You so much glad you enjoyed the video. Agreed Dollar Tree is great along with Dollar General, got some 75% off big planters & 90% off seeds last fall. Which is the same as Dollar Tree, American Seed Co. Hope you have a great gardening season!
Omggggg love this so much!!
Thank you 😀 those marigolds just blew me away!!! This season growing huge tomatoes & unique pumpkins 🎃 & gourds. Thanks for watching and being very nice the world needs more of that. Have a great night! 🌼
I love dollar tree seeds too. Makes so much sense for gardeners with tiny gardens 😅 I can never use up all the seeds in other fancy seed packets that cost so much more just to have a million seeds sitting in my storage forever
I send my 2 fellow gardening cousins lots of the best veggie & flower seeds. So we can have the experience together kinda states away & use up some of those larger seed packets. Every spring I have to check out dollar tree & general dollar seeds. Especially if on clearance!!! Have a outstanding garden season🌸🌼🌻🌺
Nice. I would go to Dollar tree looking for these.
Amazing! Love it. I appreciate the efforts in recording all this content and sharing your experiences so others can learn too! ❤❤ one small suggestion- please can you tone down the music a little bit in your future videos? When you speak, the volume is too low so I need to increase the vol to max, but then suddenly the music appears and the volume is like...full blast 😅 it is just a suggestion, I totally get it if you prefer to keep it this way 😊 we all can have very different preferences, and it's ok 😊
Thank you for watching & I will try to work on music volume. Still learning all the editing stuff. Thank you for taking the time to tell me. Have a great Sunday! 😀
Can you use one male for multiple females or do you need to use different males
Multiple males for one female. This will increase your chances of pollination. Have a fantastic season!
well this 2024 year the terra cotta is virst to bloom even before the early girl and my cherry tomatoes
That is so awesome for you!!!! Today we get into the 80’s slow growing here in zone 5. I planted these again this year along with the Prairie Fire 🔥 can’t wait!!
Should I cut off all the suckers on my prairie fire tomatoes? I’m a brand new gardener. I live in Rocky River , Ohio.
I take all the suckers off on the level I am pruning at currently on the plant. If I see one above that level, I will leave it until the next pruning session. That way I still have the leaves for the required amount of the photosynthesis process.
A great, very informative video including behind the scenes of the beautiful wildlife in your yard! Thank you for sharing your passions with us ❤️🤓❤️
So glad you liked it!!! This season I am doing pumpkin/gourd deep dives & a few hybrid tomatoes (that I LOVE) deep dive. I did plant the teddy bears again, so I would not have to hand pollinate the pumpkins & gourds. Thank you so much for watching & commenting! Hope you have a great summer!
Bren has gone down the tomato rabbit hole like the rest of us. Or, if you are reading this and like to grow tomatoes, "you will...you will." (Yoda voice)
I’ve been down that hole for decades, but now there is video. lol 🤩😀🙄
Thanks for this video. I am growing them for the first time. The sprouts are doing ok. Keeping my fingers crossed. I hope mine turn out like yours or better though.
You are welcome! Please let me know if you get the rustic look from your tomatoes like pictured in the catalog.
I just bought some today so im excited to start planting tomorrow and watch them grow for the next few months through the summer
Hi 👋 I too am planting my garden today. Concentrating on pumpkins and tomatoes. If you think about it and have the time, if you would let me know later in your pepper season if you got two additional pepper bonuses in your packet, let me know please. Very curious to know if that was just a fluke that year. But again, only if you have time. Thank you so much for watching and I hope that you have a fantastic pepper growing season this year. 🫑🫑🫑🫑
