I really enjoy your garden videos! Keep up the good work!
👍
Love these type of videos!!! Harvesting, monitoring growth and touring the garden. Sometimes seeing the details is really helpful for new gardeners like myself. Was really interested to see how your broccoli and cauliflower were doing. My plants are nice and big but nothing sprouting heads yet. Please continue to show those plants, I would really like to know what to expect. New crops for me this year, and I haven’t a clue what and when to expect a harvest. Planted Broccoli: Romanesco, Waltham and Early purple sprouting. Cauliflower: Purple Sicily, De Jesi, Durgesh, Amazing and just put in some Graffiti transplants.
Also planted your Jade Cross Brussels, & 3 other varieties 🤞🏻Thanks Trav!!
Appreciate all the tips and education. Yay, finally got my hands on a packet of red snapper tomatoes from your site, been checking and waiting on that one for awhile, I remember it from the tomato taste test, and it’s about time for me too start my seeds here real soon 👩🏻🌾
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
We have always tried to put the onions in the ground as soon as we could. What you did with the first row in late October translates into me putting onions in the ground up north here in late September and we should be able to get a nice second crop of onions. I did not get the frost damage like you did on the cabbage plants but the colder weather really slowed down the formation of the heads of cabbage. Hoping to have them fill out and at least get to baseball sized. Really appreciate the continuing updates with the gardens and the plants. It is giving me a ton of ideas and a guidance on just how far I can stretch my early spring and late summer/fall garden calendar. Thanks Travis.
Thanks for watching Randy!
I liked learning about that variety of peas. Thank you.
Thanks for watching Lulu!
Hi Travis, When I planted my Buck Wheat and Lacy P cover crops, I had an unexpected good results. I had an area of seed over lap, it worked great as a mix. Buck Wheat grew, bloomed and gets killed off by the 2nd frost but the Lacy P just keeps going and bloomed a 2nd time inspite of 26f nights and 50f days. Covered in snow a 2nd time this week, flowers are still blue. Strange combo but it worked. I'm in zone 7a very close to 6b. Our weather can be a real mix up at times. Thankyou for great seeds and products. Merry Christmas! God bless.
Thanks for sharing. Might have to try. Sounds like a great idea if you can get the timing right.
Great garden. Making me hungry. Your getting a lot of traffic. Are you on a county highway? Thanks for all the tips..
It's not a numbered county highway, but there's a good bit of traffic on our road.
Thank you for sharing. Zone 6... 🥶 but not as cold as it can be. 29 degrees and looking for snow. Good day for looking on line at your order site for spring 😀
Stay warm!
Watching straight from Portugal west atlantic coast in Europe. Really nice agriculture/gardening channel. I even think our climate is similar... Also planted onions in late october and having the same results. All the best. Keep it up! And thanks!
Always good to see folks from all over the world here. Hello from across the “pond.”
I really enjoy ya show and yalls products are top of the line. 👍🏻
Thanks Jason!
Travis, how do you plan for harvest times when gardening in the winter with less light and colder temperatures? Love your videos and hoss tools products!
The great thing about the cooler weather is that crops hold well this time of year. So we just harvest when we can. Sometimes that could be at night with a headlamp.
@@gardeningwithhoss sorry, I think I didn't word my question well. On seeds packets it gives us how many days from seed to harvest. I know in winter it takes longer because of cold and light. Is there any time of thumb to how much more time we should give plants?
It can be so variable, so not really. This is the reason I don't really like putting maturity dates on packets -- because it can be so variable. But we do it because customers expect to see it.
I grew a dozen different kinds of carrots this year, basically ordered early every kid that Baker Creek offers lol!!! Ihave only ever grown Nantes and short and sweet before this year.. I love the color variety of carrots!! Some of them grew over a foot long in my raised beds, I worked the soil very deep with compost and manure and peat moss as we just put in several new beds this year so we could double our food production and make progress towards our goal of self-sufficiency!! Your videos inspire me!!!! Keep up the good work!!
You should give Bolero carrot a try -- that's our favorite.
Hi Travis it's good to see most of your plants received have heard citrus growers will wash off the frost before sunrise and it and it minimize the damage.
I was wondering if your bug pressure has been reduced and if your still on a spraying program since the cold ? John S.
Bug pressure hasn't been bad. I haven't sprayed since that frost. But not sure if the reduced pressure is due to the cold weather or just having a handle on things.
Those are picture perfect!!
I did a trial comparing some Phaseolus vulgaris. My winner was a variety called Jumbo, purchased from Johnny's Selected Seeds. It produced large flat Italian style pods, like the ones you get with a meat and three at the Piggly Wiggly. They seem to handle the peak summer heat and humidity. Slow cooked with some onion, garlic, and ham hock, they are delicious. They are tender and nearly string less when picked on the early side.
Thanks for the suggestion!
How do you fertilize English peas? Do you just sidedress with granular 10-10-10 (1 solo cupful per 10 row feet) and fertigate some microboost ?
Start out by adding come complete organic fertilizer as it will work for you the entire time. Amend with as much organic matter as possible. The 10-10-10 will work as they love the phosphorus. Or 15-30-15.
Microboost can be added at same time your fertilize.
Your plots have recovered nicely from the freeze and are looking good. Onions are really getting big! Are you still using the 20-20-20 or just straight ammonium nitrate on them? Thanks for taking the time to share another video.
I'm about to make the switch.
I have had the king Savoy cabbage to outperform early Dutch and all season this year and the real crown broccoli has been the most productive not able to tell any difference in the cauliflower and the curly blue kale has been wonderful
The Savoy types do tend to be a bit faster than the traditional cabbages.
I transplanted early Dutch, cheers, and red the first week of October (west Tennessee 7b) and they are just now maybe thinking about starting heads.
The colder weather probably has slowed them a little.
Blessings, Onion varieties for me this year are: Sweet Granex, Texas Sweet, and Legend. I would guess that how early you can plant onions might depend on what zone you're in and if you're having a warm Fall/Winter or a cold Fall/Winter? I've planted Sweet Granex in late September/ early October and they were huge in the Spring (here in Fairhope, AL). I've had some friends who waited until early Spring to plant and though they had a moderate size in bulb they bolted before reaching maturity. Presently, all three are growing equally well without one showing better qualities than the others; yet. I'll be glad to share with you more later of the outcomes. Like you, my cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, kale and even the collards took a real hit in the cold frosty two day frigid slam! However, they all, with some tender loving care, are making a come back. Cut a nice head of cabbage and a Chinese cabbage today; both were mature and delicious :-)~ Can't wait for your next video! Keep them coming... alright, alright, alright ? :=)
Thanks for sharing!
Really enjoy y'all's channel, I hope to set up twelve 30x30 subplots using y'all's systems...do you give your onions the triple 20 feed while they are in cell trays or wait until you transplant them and then start the feeding program? Thanks for sharing the wisdom on this channel!
We feed them in the trays. A light dose -- 1 cup per 5 gal of water. We'll start feeding them once both leaves have "flipped" up from the soil.
Hello, what zone are you in?
8b
When did you plant those peas? I’ve failed on fall peas every year. They will start flowering but not produce a pod. I feel like it’s not enough day length. I barely fertilized with a little 5-10-10
Don't remember exactly. I think around mid to late September or so.
I grew Late Dutch Flat this spring and got heads in the 5 to 7 pound range. The best I have ever grown.
That's awesome!
What grow zone are you in and when did you plant?
@@terryjohnson38 I am in central Louisiana in zone 8b. I planted in early April of this year.
@@donaldboyett7682 great, I'm also in zone 8b in Alabama. I'm going to try the Dutch cabbage in the spring. Thanks!!!
@@terryjohnson38 I will be growing them again in the spring. They dwarf anything I have grown before or what I was seeing in the stores. They were also a great tasting cabbage. Good luck with them.
Keeping a close eye on your Texas Legend onions and Godzilla broccoli because I have the same varieties. I like those Plethora too.
We didn't plant any Texas Legend onions this year, but lots of great new varieties in that plot.
@@gardeningwithhoss Oh shoot, I may have watched a 2019 video. Maybe TH-cam recommended it since I was searching.
Maybe so. We've grown Texas Legends for quite a few years, but decided it was time to give some of these newer, improved varieties a go.
@@gardeningwithhoss makes perfect sense to me especially being in your position. I've only been able to grow bunching onions and so this is my first attempt at really big grin X-Type onions. I am so excited because your ammonium sulfate is really doing the trick. Thank you so much!
👍
Red lettuce is one of my favorite and that Cherokee lettuce is looking full. Definitely going on the too grow list.
It's a good one. Very heat-tolerant too!
Have you planted any megaton
Have not. I can get it though. Have you had good success with it?
@@gardeningwithhoss yes I have biggest heads and sweetest cabbage I have ever grown does well in North Carolina
👍
You said that you might plant spinach in between those former rows of butter lettuce, when will you be doing that, Soon or early spring? I live in zone 8b and was just wondering.
I was thinking that if we were to get another little warm spell for a week, I'd go for it.
Cool taters, I have some starters that I will be putting in the ground soon but I’m wanting to do some direct seeding too. Thanks, you have an awesome channel!
👍
I can't believe I am the first commentor. Still looks great even with the "icy frost". That weather also affected me adversely in deep south Mississippi. Thanks Travis for the garden look.
Thanks for watching!
7pm here and 23 degrees.... come up here and we’ll show you cold. I’m doing an outside concert on Christmas Eve (day) and the high is supposed to be 31 degrees..... I’d sure like some of that 50 degree weather.
😳
It is a wet cold down hear. It will chill you to the bone.
That's true, 55 in the south is like 35 in the north....I am from Fort Lauderdale, Florida and just spent the last 5 years on an island in Alaska...55 in Alaska is t-shirt and jeans weather, while 55 in Florida is definitely sweater and jacket weather
The humidity certainly makes a difference!
I like the savoy variety of Cabbage large heads and sweet ! The old copenhagen market variety did very well in Cen FLA . In Elberton Ga where I'm currently at I'm starting my first Ga Garden and the soil here looks really good .wish I would of had this soil in FLA . I incorporated lots of compost and rock powders in FLA .looking forward to my experience here especially the greens ! Lol you don't need to tell me bout Ga Greens I know how good they are ! Yummy !
I love the Savoy types as well. I tend to have more pest pressure on those for some reason, but they sure are good to eat!
How are your brussels sprouts doing?
Doing well. Plants are full of leaves, but no sprouts yet.
Your allium plot looks fantastic! - Kate
Thanks Kate!
Mama said she saw a fog roll in the mourning of the hard frost. My Sugar Prince look exactly like yours but aren't making. My oregon Sugar Pod are two or three times bigger and aren't making either. Lots of them over six feet tall. Either not getting enough sun I guess or a deer is not leaving a single trace. Lots of flowers no pods.
If you've got flowers, you should have pods at some point.
Best flavor of any cabbage I've ever tried is a cabbage called tete noire
Planted my leek transplants nice and deep per your last video. It is soooo slow though, but I am hoping it will pick up soon. N California Zone 9B
They are a little slow to get going. That's just leeks. Keep in mind that they do like to be fed. That will help.
Would love to hear yall talk about chicken🐔 im a show. Talk about the mission of your company. Talk about your future plans. Talk about how you started gardening and or how it has impacted your life, friends, family, etc... cheers 👊
👊
I have had great results with stonehead
I think it's a great variety. Certainly a good early producer. Just maybe not quite as big as the others.
I bought three heads this fall at a farm market and the three heads weighed 27 lbs
😳
I am getting a good laugh out of this -- 55 degrees is cold? How lucky you are that you can grow things outside during winter. But of course, I do not want to have your summer heat !
Probably don't want those gnats either. 😜
@@gardeningwithhoss Surely not, even though we do have plenty of bugs in summer, too.
🤗 ha ha that’s how I do it walk out in my underwear to see what to wear
No better way to determine how cold it is outside.
Lazy dog farm??
Your question is?
I live in zone 8 b like you but my garden didn't take a hit like yours I know it's not your fault but that's the worst garden I've ever seen you grow, I'm always trying to keep up with you but you always out do me
Until the ice, it was one of the best-looking fall gardens we have had in a while. But now we're just hoping for something harvestable.
