Which variety did you like the best?
I think I see the same on Triumph. The younger vines always seems to have better berries.
Hey I saw Shane from Kinfolk Farms
Hey, I saw Shane from Kinfolk Farm on your video. You guy know one another?
Front Royal is one of my most favorite places in America!
Matt did you ever ask what they use for an herbicide to keep the grass off the roots of the vines? It’s a very clean look.
Great video Dr. Conner is a wealth of knowledge.
I'll be watching for this. Hope I'm home to watch it live, if not I'll catch it the next day.
Hopefully someday I will have chicken coop.
They have their perks. We’ve tried to balance letting them out some vs. being in the coop/run or completely free ranging. Actually had to go catch a few today that went rogue. 🤦♂️
I bought that stuff and it smells like 10 assholes is that normal
Man, that fig was huge. I will have to get one of those to add to my collection. Great tips about trying different varieties if you didn't like figs as a kid. I keep telling my kids to try the things that they don't like because one day it is possible you will like them as our tastebuds change. I see you got your own personal film crew now haha.
We definitely need to catchup soon, can probably swap some cuttings with you this winter.
@@DeanFamilyAcres Yes 🙌
Both are good varieties of figs.
Agreed, we’re honored to have them, hope they continue to produce great fruits!
I think they don't like those containers for brood boxes. I would use something else. They need it open above their heads not so closed in.
We've never had an issue before with this type of setup, always had nesting boxes hanging over our out like this. Some hens never get it, but most lay in the boxes. Maybe those others would lay in a different style. Appreciate the feedback.
Get fruit this year?
Appreciate you asking! We have one disfigured fruit this year on the Asian. (We left it on, but don’t know if it’ll actually ripen.)Hopefully we’ll have a good crop next year. (Need to do a better job of making limbs run horizontally.) We also grafted a Bradford with edible pears this year. It’s taken off and I bet week have some fruit next year.
@@DeanFamilyAcres Thanks. I plan to plant next two weeks! Your video was a great help.
Great vidio my friend ..full support
Appreciate you watching!
Did anyone go to the muscadine event at UGA's Tifton campus this past weekend? Any updates on a new release?
Yes, we had a good crowd. We videoed and will have several videos out in the near future.
@@DeanFamilyAcres Good deal, appreciate it.
Job well done. I like your cap.
Thank you!
That mulch ought to help you out. Just planted a little lemon today. Mulched the dog out of it. I need to mulch around my Indian and donut peaches. If you haven't ever trued a little white donut peach you'd be amazed. Sweetest little thing I ever ate.
Hoping the Saturn peaches we grafted produce in the next few years. They look good so far, just need to stake one of them up soon. (They’re very similar to doughnut style.)
I like that mulch in that bed. All those worms gonna really help the soil too. That bed is coming right along!
We hope so! Excited to see this coming together!
4x4 are too small. Maybe 6x6,& or 4x6 mixed.. I did construction 18 yrs.
Not sure which part you talking about, been awhile since we made this video, but the barn is 4x6 minimum, we do wish we had used full posts instead of piecing, but they have held up well. (If your interested in seeing how this build progressed be sure to check out the playlist, we did several episodes and still have a few things that need to be done to finish up. (If anything is ever really considered finished. :)
I m starting putting out small permaculture orchard, 8 fruit trees so far. My soil needs work. Be Blessed.
One step at a time! Definitely soil test first, let us know how your place progresses.
Which state, & what part of state, zone ?
Upstate, SC zone 8a for 20+ years.
What led him to know he needed a new head gasket? Was it leaking coolant or oil?
He said it quit one day as it hydrolocked, not water in oil, but water was in cylinder.
Great video! I have 3/4” poly tubing on a timer for my garden and 1/4” soaker tubing on my strawberries. Using drippers like you did, plus the diameter of pipe, pressure is not an issue. Soaker hose on the other hand really needs to be on a closed loop system because the pressure never gets to the end the same way as the top otherwise. Two things you might change in the future: 1) those slip unions are not meant to be permanent ;2) above ground plumbing like that, you should consider schedule 80 grey pipe instead of 40. It is designed to withstand uv exposure.
Great tips. - Union was intentional as it is seasonal and will be removed for winter. - I may paint the PVC to prevent any damage, in general it'll last a very long time. - Hoping to modify the soaker hose portion one day, for now we're just glad to have the blueberries fully irrigated.
👍👍
Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
Thanks!
So how does that tree looking now? Curious from Alabama
We have a video update coming soon. This has been the most successful grafting we’ve had thus far.
Looking forward to seeing this
I am in Zone 9. I have a black, self fertile, very tight bunched, dry scar and very early ripening muscadine that is a heavy producer and I do not know what variety it could be. A neighbor gave me this vine and he is not sure what variety it is because it came with the home he bought. I am thinking it may be a cowart. Would anyone like to guess which variety it could be? This muscadine also have a strong sweet muscadine taste.
Not sure what that might be. This try to ask over on the Muscadine Growers Facebook group. Lots of good info over there. facebook.com/groups/581310545314262
Very Cool. I always wondering how grafting worked. Thanks for the demonstration.
Enjoyed the videos. Look into using fishing line for a deer repellent. My brother is using it. He puts it 3' off the ground and around his garden. Use monofilament. It's clear and that can't see it and it spooks them away. He swears by it, but he has a small garden area too
I have some deer netting, just too many other things going on this year. Fishing line is an option too. Hope to get something done this winter or early spring. Appreciate the advice!
Thank you for showing how to graft. This helps a lot.
👍
15-3-39 I wonder if it ever got released
It did not thus far. Headed back down soon for updates. Stay tuned.
@@DeanFamilyAcres Thank you. I think it might be good for me here in Texas
Is the souther home the Arkansas new release or was there another? I watch the university of Arkansas talk about a new release but they never said the name or when and where to get it. Do you know the name? thanks
Southern home has been around since 1979 and patented in 1994/96. They highlighted one of the Arkansas varieties at this meetup, can’t remember if there was a second. One was for wine making. I’ll try to follow up in a future video if I find out anymore details. Appreciate you watching and being interested in the future of this fruit.
Really impressed with the growth of Hall. My Lanes are really slow growing. Great video
I bought 6 bare root vines from Isons only 2 made it. One Late Fry that is growing very well and one Hall that is only growing 50% of what my Late fry is doing. I really would like to buy more but I cannot afford to buy from Isons. It ended up costing me $120. for two vines.
You should have contacted them, they honor their warranty if you abide by the requirements. (Personally I much prefer potted.)
Hall is one of our best growing vines and they taste so good! We attended the most recent version of this event over the weekend, new videos will be out in the coming weeks.
i just planted a bunch 3yr old vine: 2 Jumbo 3 Loomis 2 Nesbit (males) Also just to play i stuck in: 1 Lakemont Seedless 1 Lady finger grapes As long as i was at that I grabbed a 3yr old Durbin nectarine tree, 3yr old Black Beauty mulberry, 3yr Crab Apple 3yr Fugi
i want to get a bunch more and plant down my whole fence line
Where’d you get them from? You should checkout our other video where we added vines to a fence line. Biggest things we’ve learned has been they love water.
You did a great job of showing how to graft these. Love the close-up shots. Can't wait for the update video to see how they are doing.
They’ve done very well. Hope to have an update in the next month. Any specific details you’d like to see or hear?
I can’t believe you don’t get more views. Great content
Appreciate your feedback! Trying our best to keep episodes coming every Sunday amongst everything else life keeps throwing at us. Few trips snd interviews planned between now and late August, excited to see how they go.
I plan to move in Fall 2026. How do I find affordable acreage?
Location impacts affordability greatly. Especially if you’re looking for acreage. Property in most of the state has increased greatly with the influx of new residents from traditionally higher cost of living areas over the last 3-4 years. There are a few opportunities, but they’re usually word of mouth, a FSBO sign or similar. If a realtor gets ahold of it it’s usually going to end up at a premium.
Those muscadines are going to love that water. I really liked that name plate tag. Very cool.
Trying to be a little organized. They definitely love water, we’re amazed at how some seem to take off vs those without irrigation. Appreciate you watching!!
@@DeanFamilyAcres Yeah man. I got to give mine some fertilizer tomorrow, I missed on the 15 🥲
We definitely need to do this with ours and I would like you to put in some for our garden as well. Great information brother and thanks for sharing!
It’s making an evident difference. Now if we can get up that deer fence we’ve talked about for years. 😤
Thanks for sharing this. What material is that drip tubing, is it drinking water safe?
Appreciate you watching! I doubt it’s approved for drinking water because of the additional costs & regulations.
@@DeanFamilyAcres thank you
Bless your heart. !!!
Is there a part number for this kit?
Thanks for asking It's been several years, but these kits seem to be similar to kit(s) to what we used: Bucket Cylinder Seal Kit LA480 (S/N Before 21531) amzn.to/4bIjRf3 Boom Cylinder Seal Kit LA480 (S/N Before 21531) amzn.to/3XXIIZ2
I bought some blueberries from the big blue store and they are doing alright.
We've found potted to do well as long as you amend your soil properly. The boxed bare root ones at TSC, etc not so much, spend the $ to get a potted plant or order from a dedicated nursery.
I spotted the stunt double a few times haha. I really liked the Pink Lemonade. I think that shirt at the beginning was affecting your taste a little too haha. Were you able to put in up in the freezer this year? My best-tasting berries were the ones that I did not know the variety.
We put a few gallons of blackberries up. Between deer and birds they are putting a damper on our crops. You'd think with the amount we have it wouldn't be an issues.
@@DeanFamilyAcres Yeah I thought you have a ton with you having so many. Maybe once they get taller. My neighbor I got mine from this year had tons on hers with only three bushes, but hers were really tall and full. I wasn’t wanting mine that tall but I may have too to fight those birds. I hate to mess with netting.
Nice! I’ve never seen pots with lids like that. Yeah I doubt they got water. I’m interested to see how these do here. Might have to get me done!
They’re looking good, my only concern is when/if I trim the pines back and the canopy opens up more.
@@DeanFamilyAcres Yeah maybe do a little at a time.
My Navaho blackberries didn't taste sweet as expected. My pink lemonade blueberry has not fruited because the last frost always mess up the flowers.
It’s always a dance with frost. That’s one reason we’ve tried to expand our varieties. Be sure the blackberries are fully ripe, hard challenge when you have birds to compete for them.
I've got about 20 varieties of blueberries, and honestly most of them have disappointed me in flavor. But two are standouts: Darrow and Razz - they are crazy tasting! Honorable mention goes to pink lemonade, it has a unique almost tropical taste to me. I've also got about 50 varieties of blackberries and raspberries going, to figure out which ones I want to grow forever. I noticed you mentioned that Sweetie Pie is very good, I look forward to trying mine next year! Also, after tasting my PAF's I just gave them away 😂
Sounds like you have a really nice collection. What zone are you? With blackberries I think irrigation and timing makes a difference in taste. It’s a fine line vs them not producing well.
@@DeanFamilyAcres I'm in Plano, TX - Zone 8b. Most of my raspberries are not making it through the Texas summer heat - I have a video on my channel of how they look, it's not pretty!
A bird got to my few blue berries before me. Did the Sweety Pie black berry come from Pense?
Looks good. Big difference in those roots systems between the two you showed. Interested to see how this one does and if it makes it. Good job 👍
It’s sprouted out two limbs, with about 4” of growth on each. I’m excited to see how they each do too.
@@DeanFamilyAcres Sounds like it might make it then!
Hoping so, keeping a 3 gallon bucket next to it with a slight crack in the bottom. Hoping to do an update video on all three this summer.
