    **This was filmed 30 minutes before I tripped and fell in the garage and broke my kneecap trying to leave to go see my mother. With the heat, lighting (dark as a dungeon in the house), noise (sorry about the cicadas!!) I ran late and was rushing. That's when bad things happen. Watch where you are stepping, don't trip, and be safe, my friends! Six hours editing and not only my knee is hurting, LOL!

    Ohhh Kaye...thank you so much for the night sounds of the Cicada's. How I miss those night sounds in the N. Ga mountains where I lived!!! That is the sound I fell asleep to every night. For people that don't know....yes, that is how loud they are. Then put fire flies galore flitting around.....ohhhh how I am so jealous! Hope your knee is on the mend. I have learned (the hard way) that my eyes and brain work slower than my body. My body could move fast but my eyes and brain don't move fast enough to help me avoid tripping traps or corners of furniture etc. I also only plant one variety of tomato. It is an Heirloom seed saved from this next season will be 33 years) I started some plants for my neighbor this year and they told me they are the best tomatoes ever. Also you look stunning as always.

      @@Latebloomershow Oh I'm sorry Kaye a huge misunderstanding. When I moved back to Wi I purchased the plants from a gal who's grandparents started them. When I purchased them they were seeds year 30. They are true heirloom and I am sure they would grow anywhere.

    nice to hear your tomato results. I have about 20 kinds.. some I have saved for over 40 years . I tried San Marzano but don't care for them nor Romas or Black Krim . I grow Chadwick cherrys .They actually cover my ompost pile so are so easy to pick and grow all winter in the greenhouse . I have 2 yellows that I found and named from a tomato mix I got from a biodynamic seedsaving group 30 years a ago One is a low acid large cheery called Pale Yellow Egg and the other I call Yellow Slicer..another favorite is Georgia Streak a tasty slicer .Red Rock is my favorite canning and past tomato that I have grown for 40 years . l like interplanting tomatoes with pole beans on my trellises as well as on my teepees .I have no need to can anymore ...so will cut way back on growing them ..

  • @cheriwaller7598
    @cheriwaller7598 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It was so much fun seeing all the varieties you grew and what did well for you. You'll have to try Black Krim again, if you don't get any this time. We always grow several different tomatoes and I always try new ones every year. This year I added Black Krim. It took forever to ripen, but when it did, oh wow! They taste amazing! They also like a good bit of water, so that may have hampered yours.
    Hope your knee is ok!

I am an affiliate for LED grow lights. Find the the link below the video. You will need the light for your seedlings in trays in Jan-Mar anyway.

    LOL, I'm going to assume that light piece of cardboard was for "bounce" lighting! At least it waited until the end of your video to fall!! You are so fortunate to be able to grow so many varieties of tomatoes. We could grow like that in Virginia, but here in the deep South, it's much more difficult unless you have a high tunnel. Heirlooms rarely survive the pests, disease pressure, heat and humidity here. It's also not advisable to let them ripen on the vine here in the N. Florida Panhandle, or they will be so stung up by stink bugs that you can't eat them. I have to I pick them at first blush and let them ripen in the house. I also don't even try to grow anything but determinant hybrid varieties now, because the others either don't do well or I've got to baby them to get a harvest. With my limited budget, I also purchase seeds that I know will produce well here. I had to get the mindset that I could either grow the food that I need or afford the luxury of experimenting with different varieties. I've also learned to grow what I know we will eat. It's a waste for me to grow things like kohlrabi, because we just don't like it, and the garden space can be better used for something we do enjoy.
