Hello Mr Tom. Yesterday I got some extra sweetness in my life. I lost the second of my two cat babies 8 months ago at 18. Lately I've been thinking I need to make a trip to our local animal shelter and do some adopting. Yesterday I opened my back door on the back deck and found a sweet calico, I'm guessing about 6 months old. I eventually let her in. I asked my neighbor if he knew who she belonged to. He said she was one of two cats that belonged to a man in the apartment building next door. That man is in jail and everything in his apartment went to the curb for disposal, including the cats. We eventually found the other cat around midnight. Two of the sweetest loving babies ever and they are mine❤️. In a few weeks I'll take them to the vet for a check up. They seem very healthy. I'm now the local cat lady again😂❤
That's a wonderful thing you're doing by giving th baby a new home. Kitty will repay you over and over again as you already know being the loving cat mommy you have been in the past. Animals trust and love without conditions attached. Thank you for taking kitty in. As a person you rock!
So happy the kitty found you and you found the second one. God bless you and your new babies. My little girl will be 5 in October,she looks like speedy she is a good little companion.
Last May I lost my sweet cat baby to cancer. He had been my everything sweet for 14 years. About a week later I stepped onto my front porch to grab the mail still rooted deeply in grief over my baby, when I looked to my left and saw a beautiful orange tabby stretched out near the corner of the porch basking in the sun. He didn't run when I took a step toward him but did run when I got a bit closer. The very next day and many more days after he came back to my porch. I began feeding him on the third day. He warmed up to me over the course of a week or so. He's now my sweetness. It's as though he knew I was sad and needed him.
Well, I'm a little late Mr. Tom. I watched your awesome video yesterday, but I'm commenting today. 😁 Well, as ya know, I inherited 2 blueberry bushes from my momma. My brother bought em for momma a number of years back, but he threw away the tags for the bushes, so I got no idea what kind they is. Well, my brother, after momma went 'Home' to be with the Lord, he didn't water the bushes nor nothin. So, I started carin for em, and I started just waterin them durin the spring and summer, and noticed they just started takin off and growin all kinds a new branches. Just from me givin em water. And they put out lots a berries ever year.😊 then, I got red raspberry canes , and I don't do nothin to em, but just give em plenty a water when it's needed, and they put out just tons a berries ever year. My daddy planted them raspberry plants years and years ago, and they just been thrivin ever since. We used to have a nice big plum tree in the back yard, had dark red leaves, and in the springtime, put out the prettiest pink blossoms, and had small, dark red plums that was nice and sweet. The birds liked em too. 😁 My daddy planted that tree, and it grew big and tall. Well, sadly, just shortly after daddy died, a storm came, and the tree fell over. So no more plums. Many years ago, my daddy thought he might try and plant some Logan berries in the garden. Well, he did, and they did good for a long time; and then somethin sweet happened; the Loganberries and them raspberries got together and they had em a baby; yep, up popped some new berries, and they wasn't Loganberry, and they wasn't Raspberry, but they was a combo of both! 😊 So, I started callin em 'Razzloberries'. And they was big like a loganberry, but had a combination of flavor like both, and they was the sweetest berries I'd ever tasted. Well, my brother Kevin, 🤨 he decided he was gonna put out weed killer all over the yard with a spreader. Well, yep, he done went and killed the logan berries, and the Razzloberries. That weed killer done burned em and killed em all; wiped em out. So, I just got daddy's raspberries left. But I be thankful for them. Well, that be all I got in the way of fruit. If it weren't for my brother Kevin livin here, I'd plant me all kinds a fruit. I used to have me a nice big strawberry patch in the garden, but Kevin pulled em all up, and threw the plants in the garbage. But, I be thankful for what I do got, the blueberries and daddy's raspberries.😊 Thank ya Mr. Tom for the wonderful video. Sendin you, Gracie, the Kitty Krew, Heathcliff, and Fluffy, love and a big hug.❤🤗
Hi mister Tom 🙏so happy to see you today I am glad that the storm didn’t damage your home I am sad that some of your plants got ruined that’s not good . I loved seeing you little kittys thay all look amazing as all ways Mr Tom 😊 how is grace doing 😻you be cafel mister Tom take care. This world is nuts these days I have never seen so meny people angry all the time
It's so rewarding to grow your own food . It just seems to taste better . Sounds like you have a bumper crop of figs this year . Thank you for taking us through your garden .
During my childhood, one set of grandparents in Alabama had blueberries galore every year. My other grandparents in Southwest Georgia had a huge fig tree. We grands never went without blueberry and fig preserves. Glad you look like you're going to have a bumper crop too...that is if the birds don't get to the figs first...lol. It's been storming here in North Carolina a lot too. Take care my friend.
You're such a a good gardener. I always learn from you. I have blueberries, figs & strawberries that every other creature except me gets to eat. They always know when things ripen. ☺️
Again, I wish you were my neighbor! When I moved from Central Florida to the N. Florida Panhandle, I planted rabbit eye blue berries, Myer lemons, figs, elder berries, mulberries and black berries that I obtained from local growers. The crazy weather that brought us 100+ degrees for weeks and the arctic blast took them all except for the mulberry trees. I hope to try again when I'm well. Your beautiful fig tree and blue berry bushes are giving me hope!
Your blueberries and figs look healthy. Here in eastern Canada we have apple trees, grape vines, blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries and bing cherries. We do have a few blueberries but they are wild. They all take a lot of care but they do produce sweetness. Take care.
Thanks Mr Tom - after watching you for yrs, I got 2 blueberry plants & a fig plant last yr. I'm finding care info from you today, so I'm real happy. I've only just watered. Thanks for sharing- don't know what kind of plants they are. Kitty crew sure do love you ❤. God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon
Hello Mr Tom love your blueberry bushes. I started 3 last year only 2 survived the winter. I would like to add more this year. I’m hoping in a couple years to enjoy eating some. Stay safe from the terrible storms that the south and other areas have been getting. God bless you and gracie and the kitty Krew.
I have rhubarb, cherry tree, apple trees and a pear tree here in Ontario. I have an eldeberry bush and think I might try planting a blueberry one. We don't spray and yes some of the fruit is buggy but last year we had a huge amount of apples and pears which were good. I froze apple and pear sauce and make all sorts of jams and jellies like pear and apple butter, pear marmalade and apple jelly and apple pie jam. We plant a big garden, this year I may not have as much as will require knee surgery in July. I still go out to plant what I can as I like being outside listening to the birds etc. I never thought I had a green thumb but now I am retired I like watching the plants grow and making things with all the fresh vegetables. Take care of your self and the kitty crew enjoy your videos/
Mr. Tom, my fig tree never has figs. Thank you for the information on growing and maintaining fig trees. I'm going to try your methods. I'll let you know how my fig tree does in the future. I have blueberries as well. Powder blue and some others, I can't remember the names. We planted them years ago. We have wild blueberries also. I live in North Florida. We never had a freeze last year in our area. We have a pumpkin plant that is still growing from last fall. That is a first for our neck of the woods. I'm 68 and would really love to follow closely how you grow your garden. Thank you, Mr. Tom for your channel. I look forward to your videos.
Hi Mr Tom! Your blueberry plants are fantastic! I just planted my first two blueberry plants this year! I’m in SW Idaho. The varieties are Legacy and Bluejay! We had a late frost and lost about 90% of our peaches, pluot and plum! Luckily I still have a few jars of canned peaches left over from last year! I’m very happy for you as it looks like your fig harvest will be wonderful!! Very nice!! 💕🐈⬛💕
Plants and vines look wonderful Mr.Tom.I live in a basement apt.I can't plant but it nice seeing your varieties of plants you're growing. It's nice having rain but not the storms. Hope your figs do well also.Glad the kitty crew are out there with you.
Hey Mr Tom, it😢😢s 8.30 ish pm here in NZ, great Mr Tom video time ! Hope all is well,garden is looking great ! I had a fig in a very large pot, but I gave it away to a man at work , he planted it out years ago in the soil and it grows great for him. He gives me the odd jar of Honey in trade lol I gave my 2 blueberry bushes away too, the neighbour says they do fine over there, i have too much shade here . I grow blackcurrants for jam ,, which i love and they do ok here. Cooking apple tree is laden each year and i have rhubarb too . I love rhubarb pie ;) Spooky will be tired , he was on the International Kitty Council Morse code hotline telling us all about the storms , he was tap tap tapping away, hes got quite the set up in the shop, well disguised, you prob have never found his set up ! He is an International man of mystery !❤ Pats to the kitties 😸 and take care over there !
Your blueberries look fantastic! Just had three cherry tomatoes with dinner tonight. Such a joy to pick from my porch garden. Everything else is floral and herbs. That’s my sweetness,as well as hearing from you. Good evening from Oklahoma, Mr Tom. ❤❤
Beautiful fruit! You do such a good job explaining about plants. I have a mulberry tree, but I can never beat the birds and squirrels to it. Then, 2 apple trees. Last year, a doe ate all the apples. That’s okay, animals have to eat also! She had twins and I enjoy watching the deer. I use to have a fig tree when I lived in se ga. Love me some figs! You have a beautiful home… thanks for sharing!
Hi Mr. Tom. You have some beautiful blueberry's coming on there. I will definitely be looking forward to you cooking them up. When I moved here to my wonderful property 15 years ago, I was excited to have a garden. I soon planted one along with blueberry bushes, raspberry and blackberry vines artichokes and a nic bay tree. It wasn't long, within 2 years that the dang gophers go each and every plant I put in. One by one, not matter what I did, those nasty rascals got each and everyone of them. It was pure torture. My bay tree grew for 5 years and was a delight, until one day it too fell over limp from the dang gophers. I picked off many a gopher with the pellet gun, but finally gave up after trying every natural non toxic method recommended. Nothing worked. Karla in Cali.
Mr. Tom, would you look at all those blueberries and figs! Where we live in the foggy misty rainy cool south Pacific Northwest most fruit can't be grown or is difficult to grow. Wild blackberries are plentiful but usually really tart and need lots of sweetening. At our grocery stores, most of the fruit is green or not good tasting at all even in the peak season and tomatoes never have any flavor. No kidding! Enjoyed the tour of your yard!
My Brown Turkey Fig tree is in its 2nd year and very bushy, healthy and getting big but no fruits at all so far but we`ve had almost no sun in Louisiana. I planted four Celeste too and one more Brown Turkey this year. I mulch mine with leaves, cardboard and thick grass clippings. I planted dwarf mulberry trees among them to help distract the birds some. But I do have a giant mesh thing to wrap my main fig tree or make mesh bags, etc. I think the mesh is 10 feet wide and 30 feet long.
Hi Mr Tom i love figs i eat off the tree also i like to make fig preserves with a hot biscuit that is so good take care and God bless you and the kitty crew
Hi, Mr. Tom👋 it's a beautiful day in your neighborhood, indeed. Blueberries 🫐🫐🫐 yummy. Make a great addition to pemmican, too. I don't have blueberries or figs. Most of my berry additions are from the birds so no variety classification is known. Hopefully, figs and dates will be brought in by our feathered friends. Lol. Kitty Krew definitely want to let you know they made it through the storm and check on you while letting you know how glad they are that everyone made it through ok. Unfortunately, the wild brought privet, aka bird bush, which is highly invasive are trying to take over the yard here. Any part of that plant will root and regrow into full plants. If cut to the ground it sends out underground roots to sprout up through new locations and then regrows from the stubs, too. Sadly, not what i want in my yard. I do have mulberry, but the privet is trying to kill it. Ugh. My rhubarb us struggling again.
Just got in from grocery shopping. Stopped to watch your video before putting away things. Nice garden tour Tom. Sorry you had bad weather. Fig tree doing great. Hope you have a nice dinner. MGBYAML ❤
Hello Mr.Tom and the kitty crew and miss Gracie. From Ohio and I live in an apt..I did plant 2 🍅 plants. The rest I will buy and freeze. The farmers market.
I planted a few small varieties of blueberries. Not very productive. Honeyberries are a bigger and taste better to me. Got gooseberries that have about 50 per branch half grown. Got raspberries, blackberries, boysenberries and strawberries. Planted peaches and cherries and fruit cocktail but that seemed to break it's grafts. Michigan has apple orchards all over near me. I like the hospital surrounded by an orchard. So quiet out there. Had a few trips there. The quiet and fresh air helped me feel better waiting to go home sitting outside even sneaking out in the wheelchair 😂.
I bought a turkey fig at the big box last year, but it apparently was too cold for it this last winter. KY zone 7a, but I have blueberries coming on. Thanks for the tips! Big hugs for you and the Krew.
My parents grow blackberries & raspberries in central Illinois. They make jam and jelly and sell them at the farmers market ❤ their biggest challenge is pests - Japanese beetles I believe they said it was
Hello to you and the kitty crew, Mr. Tom I made a grave mistake by planting a brown turkey fig here in the state of ga. when winter comes it will dye back every time, than I learned that you have to cover it with burlap, what a drag I love persevering them, as for my blue berries they are doing very well, but I don't know what type they are, they were given to me but they get very large.
I have 4 blue berry bushes. They are loaded. Maybe a 4th of july cumble? I use frozen blueberrys in my water like ice. Frozen. And then i have a treat. Take care.
Mr Tom your berries and figs look fantastic 😊 My plum tree is producing and they're very tasty. I'm going to try to get some more going from seed. ❤ and prayers for you and the babies.
I Do have Raspberry plants..usually the deer get the better of them.Contesst to see what I can have each year .Lol my tomato 🍅 s are still about an inch high .Just Rescued 'em from a Hailstorm!😂 Good day for me Got to See Mr Tom & Granny Karma on Videos today💕😊 Thank you ,Mr.Tom.May the Lord bless you,All your Kitties & all inthe neighborhood 🕊️😂From the foothills of the Olympics 🏔️🌧️WA💕
My 1st year with the Blueberry bush, thanks to you but you are south and my friend is north, my raspberries over past couple of years are not as productive as they have in past.May God continue to Bless you and the kitty crew!
Hello Mr. Tom! We have a large Jerusalem Fig tree that was planted by the original owner of our house in 1987. It is massive! Sometimes we get two harvests but have to really watch for ripeness as the birds want to feast. We took a start from one of the new shoots two years ago, used some rooting agent, and planted it. It's doing great here in our south central Texas area. We also grow a thornless blackberry bush that we ordered after seeing it featured on Deep South Homestead a few years back and it's doing great. Two years ago we tried blueberries for our Southern location but even with regular watering the heat was too much last summer and they didn't survive. The main pests we have to deal with are critters and birds getting them at the peak of ripeness. We've tried tulle around the fruit but whatever it getting them doesn't seem to be stopped by it. We also have a plum tree and a peach tree but both last year and this year something has stripped off the fruit when it's about two inches big and not even ripe. Might have to get some trail cams to solve the mystery as the fruit is a good six to seven feet off the ground. Your blueberry bushes look great! How many years old would you estimate they are?
Hello Mr T.Thank you for the tour.Local Blurberries at my Food Lion from Cottle Farms Faison , NC 2 pints $4.00, eat them every day😋.God Bless you Mr T and your adorable kitty crew❤
I have a little bush that is not doing well. I need to repot and put out in the sun I think. Maybe the wind? and rain you had. My fig had buds and they are now gone. Figs fruit twice in a year. I have a brown fig down the road I always judge by what is going on with those trees.
I had 2 bushes behind the house that I thought was cherry but this week they had some blueberries . Yummy so I made oatmeal bars with some, yes I ate the rest lol.
We don't have blueberries and i don't think we will be planting any. We do have a good producing fig tree. I don't know the type we bought it from an old man at the flea market. Everyyear we get gallons of figs. We had two nice peach trees that fruited every year but this year borers got in them and killed them. Our citrus hasn't fruited since the big freeze but this year we have a few fruits on our satsuma and a few on our grapefruit so they seem to be making a comeback. We also have a few black berry canes but only one is actually fruiting. I also have had pretty good luck with melons so we get summer fruits.
I've seen some blueberries growing near our Cemetery not sure if I can eat them. How do I know Mr Tom? Great video 👍🏻 God Bless you & the 🐈⬛Kitty Krew ✝️ Roll Tide 🏈
I planted over a dozen fruit trees this year...mostly dwarf mulberry and figs mix. I`m trying two pineapple guava too on the zones 8b/9a line. I gotta get a few of the right blueberry plants since they require an odd mix for pollination. I was leery about ordering them. I started strawberries too and a bunch of ground cherries.
I have been watching and enjoying your videos for a while. I am familiar with the area where you live and especially enjoy your rides so I can see familiar scenery and how things have changed. I am interested to know, were you away from the homeplace for some years just before you started to reclaim it?
Mr. Tom I ate figs at a friend's house in Texas. They were soooo good. I have a pear tree I got quite a few the first year then the next I didn't get any Last year I got several but I think the squirrels got most of them. I would like to have blue berries I'm in Iowa now so I am not sure how they would do up here. I am going to plant peppers and cherry tomatoes. I enjoyed your video and will keep an eye out for dinner stay safe

That's a wonderful thing you're doing by giving th baby a new home. Kitty will repay you over and over again as you already know being the loving cat mommy you have been in the past. Animals trust and love without conditions attached. Thank you for taking kitty in. As a person you rock!
So happy the kitty found you and you found the second one. God bless you and your new babies. My little girl will be 5 in October,she looks like speedy she is a good little companion.
That made me smile. Thank you for being so kind. I have 2 from similar situations. They love me like the sun. And I love them like a mom. Take care.
Wonderful story.
Hi again! So happy to see you and the Kitty Crew made it through the storms! 🤗
Last May I lost my sweet cat baby to cancer. He had been my everything sweet for 14 years. About a week later I stepped onto my front porch to grab the mail still rooted deeply in grief over my baby, when I looked to my left and saw a beautiful orange tabby stretched out near the corner of the porch basking in the sun. He didn't run when I took a step toward him but did run when I got a bit closer. The very next day and many more days after he came back to my porch. I began feeding him on the third day. He warmed up to me over the course of a week or so. He's now my sweetness. It's as though he knew I was sad and needed him.
I'm so sorry for your loss
@@katsfarm2062 Thank you
Well, I'm a little late Mr. Tom. I watched your awesome video yesterday, but I'm commenting today. 😁 Well, as ya know, I inherited 2 blueberry bushes from my momma. My brother bought em for momma a number of years back, but he threw away the tags for the bushes, so I got no idea what kind they is. Well, my brother, after momma went 'Home' to be with the Lord, he didn't water the bushes nor nothin. So, I started carin for em, and I started just waterin them durin the spring and summer, and noticed they just started takin off and growin all kinds a new branches. Just from me givin em water. And they put out lots a berries ever year.😊 then, I got red raspberry canes , and I don't do nothin to em, but just give em plenty a water when it's needed, and they put out just tons a berries ever year. My daddy planted them raspberry plants years and years ago, and they just been thrivin ever since. We used to have a nice big plum tree in the back yard, had dark red leaves, and in the springtime, put out the prettiest pink blossoms, and had small, dark red plums that was nice and sweet. The birds liked em too. 😁 My daddy planted that tree, and it grew big and tall. Well, sadly, just shortly after daddy died, a storm came, and the tree fell over. So no more plums. Many years ago, my daddy thought he might try and plant some Logan berries in the garden. Well, he did, and they did good for a long time; and then somethin sweet happened; the Loganberries and them raspberries got together and they had em a baby; yep, up popped some new berries, and they wasn't Loganberry, and they wasn't Raspberry, but they was a combo of both! 😊 So, I started callin em 'Razzloberries'. And they was big like a loganberry, but had a combination of flavor like both, and they was the sweetest berries I'd ever tasted. Well, my brother Kevin, 🤨 he decided he was gonna put out weed killer all over the yard with a spreader. Well, yep, he done went and killed the logan berries, and the Razzloberries. That weed killer done burned em and killed em all; wiped em out. So, I just got daddy's raspberries left. But I be thankful for them. Well, that be all I got in the way of fruit. If it weren't for my brother Kevin livin here, I'd plant me all kinds a fruit. I used to have me a nice big strawberry patch in the garden, but Kevin pulled em all up, and threw the plants in the garbage. But, I be thankful for what I do got, the blueberries and daddy's raspberries.😊 Thank ya Mr. Tom for the wonderful video. Sendin you, Gracie, the Kitty Krew, Heathcliff, and Fluffy, love and a big hug.❤🤗
Enjoy your weekend, Mr. Tom. I’m so happy you came through the storms just fine.

I always enjoy your gardening videos so much and all the information/knowledge they contain. Hugs from a gardener in Iowa!
During my childhood, one set of grandparents in Alabama had blueberries galore every year. My other grandparents in Southwest Georgia had a huge fig tree. We grands never went without blueberry and fig preserves. Glad you look like you're going to have a bumper crop too...that is if the birds don't get to the figs first...lol.

That’s okay, animals have to eat also! She had twins and I enjoy watching the deer. I use to have a fig tree when I lived in se ga. Love me some figs! You have a beautiful home… thanks for sharing!
Hi my friend ☺ 😊
Hi Mr. Tom. You have some beautiful blueberry's coming on there. I will definitely be looking forward to you cooking them up. When I moved here to my wonderful property 15 years ago, I was excited to have a garden. I soon planted one along with blueberry bushes, raspberry and blackberry vines artichokes and a nic bay tree. It wasn't long, within 2 years that the dang gophers go each and every plant I put in. One by one, not matter what I did, those nasty rascals got each and everyone of them. It was pure torture. My bay tree grew for 5 years and was a delight, until one day it too fell over limp from the dang gophers. I picked off many a gopher with the pellet gun, but finally gave up after trying every natural non toxic method recommended. Nothing worked. Karla in Cali.
Mr. Tom, would you look at all those blueberries and figs! Where we live in the foggy misty rainy cool south Pacific Northwest most fruit can't be grown or is difficult to grow. Wild blackberries are plentiful but usually really tart and need lots of sweetening. At our grocery stores, most of the fruit is green or not good tasting at all even in the peak season and tomatoes never have any flavor. No kidding! Enjoyed the tour of your yard!
My Brown Turkey Fig tree is in its 2nd year and very bushy, healthy and getting big but no fruits at all so far but we`ve had almost no sun in Louisiana. I planted four Celeste too and one more Brown Turkey this year. I mulch mine with leaves, cardboard and thick grass clippings. I planted dwarf mulberry trees among them to help distract the birds some. But I do have a giant mesh thing to wrap my main fig tree or make mesh bags, etc. I think the mesh is 10 feet wide and 30 feet long.
Hi Mr Tom i love figs i eat off the tree also i like to make fig preserves with a hot biscuit that is so good take care and God bless you and the kitty crew
Hi, Mr. Tom👋 it's a beautiful day in your neighborhood, indeed.
Blueberries 🫐🫐🫐 yummy. Make a great addition to pemmican, too.
I don't have blueberries or figs. Most of my berry additions are from the birds so no variety classification is known.
Hopefully, figs and dates will be brought in by our feathered friends. Lol.
Kitty Krew definitely want to let you know they made it through the storm and check on you while letting you know how glad they are that everyone made it through ok.
Unfortunately, the wild brought privet, aka bird bush, which is highly invasive are trying to take over the yard here. Any part of that plant will root and regrow into full plants. If cut to the ground it sends out underground roots to sprout up through new locations and then regrows from the stubs, too. Sadly, not what i want in my yard.
I do have mulberry, but the privet is trying to kill it. Ugh.
My rhubarb us struggling again.
Just got in from grocery shopping. Stopped to watch your video before putting away things. Nice garden tour Tom. Sorry you had bad weather. Fig tree doing great. Hope you have a nice dinner. MGBYAML ❤
So nice of you
Great video God bless
Hello Mr.Tom and the kitty crew and miss Gracie. From Ohio and I live in an apt..I did plant 2 🍅 plants. The rest I will buy and freeze. The farmers market.
Everything's so green in your yard, so jealous! The leaves on the aspens in my yard (CO) are still just buds.
I planted a few small varieties of blueberries. Not very productive. Honeyberries are a bigger and taste better to me. Got gooseberries that have about 50 per branch half grown. Got raspberries, blackberries, boysenberries and strawberries. Planted peaches and cherries and fruit cocktail but that seemed to break it's grafts.
Michigan has apple orchards all over near me. I like the hospital surrounded by an orchard. So quiet out there. Had a few trips there. The quiet and fresh air helped me feel better waiting to go home sitting outside even sneaking out in the wheelchair 😂.
I bought a turkey fig at the big box last year, but it apparently was too cold for it this last winter. KY zone 7a, but I have blueberries coming on. Thanks for the tips! Big hugs for you and the Krew.
My parents grow blackberries & raspberries in central Illinois. They make jam and jelly and sell them at the farmers market ❤ their biggest challenge is pests - Japanese beetles I believe they said it was
Hi Mr Tom and the Kitty Krew and everyone ❤ love your video and your blueberry tree ❤❤❤❤
Glad you're feeling a bit better mr tom 💝
Yes, thank you
Hello to you and the kitty crew, Mr. Tom I made a grave mistake by planting a brown turkey fig here in the state of ga. when winter comes it will dye back every time, than I learned that you have to cover it with burlap, what a drag I love persevering them, as for my blue berries they are doing very well, but I don't know what type they are, they were given to me but they get very large.
I have 2 kitties I live alone so they keep me going literally
Yum. Blueberries we love those!
I have blueberries here in the Sandhills of SC because they're easy to grow. I have 3 varieties and will add more eventually.
I’m in Michigan. I love turkey figs. Nothing beats the taste. I had one when I was traveling down south. The are tasty
Our fig trees took a beating these last two winters, but look like they will produce this year. Keeping my paws crossed.
Thanks Mr. Tom. I think I will fix my blube tomorrow.
Thank you Mr Tom ❤️✝️
I have 4 blue berry bushes. They are loaded. Maybe a 4th of july cumble? I use frozen blueberrys in my water like ice. Frozen. And then i have a treat. Take care.
Hey you just gave me an idea, Thanks! I just got an ice crusher machine and I would much prefer to do it with fruit than syrup!
Mr Tom your berries and figs look fantastic 😊 My plum tree is producing and they're very tasty. I'm going to try to get some more going from seed. ❤ and prayers for you and the babies.
I Do have Raspberry plants..usually the deer get the better of them.Contesst to see what I can have each year .Lol my tomato 🍅 s are still about an inch high .Just Rescued 'em from a Hailstorm!😂 Good day for me Got to See Mr Tom & Granny Karma on Videos today💕😊 Thank you ,Mr.Tom.May the Lord bless you,All your Kitties & all inthe neighborhood 🕊️😂From the foothills of the Olympics 🏔️🌧️WA💕
My 1st year with the Blueberry bush, thanks to you but you are south and my friend is north, my raspberries over past couple of years are not as productive as they have in past.May God continue to Bless you and the kitty crew!
Woo hoo! It's Tom!
Don't quote you on that but man you sure have a wealth of knowledge.❤
I appreciate that
Hello Mr. Tom! We have a large Jerusalem Fig tree that was planted by the original owner of our house in 1987. It is massive! Sometimes we get two harvests but have to really watch for ripeness as the birds want to feast. We took a start from one of the new shoots two years ago, used some rooting agent, and planted it. It's doing great here in our south central Texas area. We also grow a thornless blackberry bush that we ordered after seeing it featured on Deep South Homestead a few years back and it's doing great. Two years ago we tried blueberries for our Southern location but even with regular watering the heat was too much last summer and they didn't survive. The main pests we have to deal with are critters and birds getting them at the peak of ripeness. We've tried tulle around the fruit but whatever it getting them doesn't seem to be stopped by it. We also have a plum tree and a peach tree but both last year and this year something has stripped off the fruit when it's about two inches big and not even ripe. Might have to get some trail cams to solve the mystery as the fruit is a good six to seven feet off the ground. Your blueberry bushes look great! How many years old would you estimate they are?
We've got the Premier and Powder blue.
Hello Mr T.Thank you for the tour.Local Blurberries at my Food Lion from Cottle Farms Faison , NC 2 pints $4.00, eat them every day😋.God Bless you Mr T and your adorable kitty crew❤
Happy Saturday Mr. Tom and Kitty Crew💙😻✌️🙏
Hi kitty crew and Mr tom hope you ll doing well
I have a little bush that is not doing well. I need to repot and put out in the sun I think. Maybe the wind? and rain you had. My fig had buds and they are now gone. Figs fruit twice in a year. I have a brown fig down the road I always judge by what is going on with those trees.
I had 2 bushes behind the house that I thought was cherry but this week they had some blueberries . Yummy so I made oatmeal bars with some, yes I ate the rest lol.
That is awesome!
Have a great weekend God bless
Hi Tom!!
❤i have lots of strawberries.
We don't have blueberries and i don't think we will be planting any. We do have a good producing fig tree. I don't know the type we bought it from an old man at the flea market. Everyyear we get gallons of figs. We had two nice peach trees that fruited every year but this year borers got in them and killed them. Our citrus hasn't fruited since the big freeze but this year we have a few fruits on our satsuma and a few on our grapefruit so they seem to be making a comeback. We also have a few black berry canes but only one is actually fruiting. I also have had pretty good luck with melons so we get summer fruits.
Never met a blueberry. I didn't like 😊
I've seen some blueberries growing near our Cemetery not sure if I can eat them. How do I know Mr Tom? Great video 👍🏻 God Bless you & the 🐈⬛Kitty Krew ✝️ Roll Tide 🏈
If indeed they are blueberries, I don't see why you can't eat them.
I planted over a dozen fruit trees this year...mostly dwarf mulberry and figs mix. I`m trying two pineapple guava too on the zones 8b/9a line. I gotta get a few of the right blueberry plants since they require an odd mix for pollination. I was leery about ordering them. I started strawberries too and a bunch of ground cherries.
😊love figs
I love blueberries and they are so good for you. They contain lots of antioxidants. Easy to freeze also so you can enjoy them even in the winter.
Hi 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
😙
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
I have been watching and enjoying your videos for a while. I am familiar with the area where you live and especially enjoy your rides so I can see familiar scenery and how things have changed. I am interested to know, were you away from the homeplace for some years just before you started to reclaim it?
Will you can these fruits and video it?
Mr. Tom I ate figs at a friend's house in Texas. They were soooo good. I have a pear tree I got quite a few the first year then the next I didn't get any
Last year I got several but I think the squirrels got most of them. I would like to have blue berries I'm in Iowa now so I am not sure how they would do up here. I am going to plant peppers and cherry tomatoes. I enjoyed your video and will keep an eye out for dinner stay safe
