Would love a show about what to do to get a hard packed clay garden started. What to add at the start, to break it down. What to add each year to KEEP it loamy. What vegetables grow best in hard clay and how to care for them. Thanks.
Great show this week all the crispy critters are flopping around like a bug on a hot plate over the truth about GMO vegetable ! Greg you are right about the tops on rutabagas. My wife's granny years ago cook up some tops & roots she mixed together they would make a puppy pull a freight train. You guys are awesome !!
My brown top Millet is going to Deer... every day for the last few days a small herd has been standing in one of my plots of Millet... the one I planted for them under a long run of power line that cuts across a piece of my property... I eat whatever grows on my property... even if that's white tail. ;)
We've never ate Pumpkin soup, but we are going to try it now ! Y'all made it sound like something that we would like. I'm glad that you informed the public about GMO seeds. Are y'all going to have any Cherokee Tan Pumpkin seeds, to sell ? I am growing Seminole Pumpkins, right now and am anxious to lay hands on some Cherokee Tan. Are your Pumpkins setting fruit ? Our Blue Bayou Pumpkin , that we ordered from you, are growing and we can't wait to see our first pumpkin.
Carrots planted close together will cross breed. Know this if you plan to collect seeds. I dug all the wild carrot out of my carrot beds today and gave them to my rabbits today for this reason. You've gotta have a great tilth to your soil for Viper Carrots. I planted mostly all round carrots bc I'm still improving my soil tilth. I planted about (8) different round carrots. Handsome shirt and cap Travis! Your giving your wife something to look forward to:-) I've been watering my lettuce am and pm to ward off bitterness. It is so pretty. I'm growing Johnny's Ridgeline, a romaine and Botanical Interests Oak Leaf. It looks so pretty who needs flowers. Up here in PA we need to prep for winter like my rabbit who is again shedding and the tent worm that showed mostly black unlike last year that showed mostly a lighter shade until the very ends. We are in for a doozie of a winter! I laid eyes on one of my (2) shovels in the basement today. I've got regular and spicy Mesclun mix planted. Up north I've planted Ice Queen, Icy Emerald, and Igloo just to mention a few. There are far too many types of onions. Radish is a MUST grow for me here in Pittsburgh, PA. It winter kills and leaves a wonderful tilth to my soil in the upcoming spring. I is easily broadcast unlike oats which need to be planted. I have already stepped on many of my radish cotyledons in planting mums and Butterfly Bush but I planted 5# so there will be radish. August is a perfect month to plant them in PA. I will plant some turnips for my own guilty pleasure. Excellent show! Thank You🍆
@@gardeningwithhoss Just planted another Butterfly bush that I got on sale. I have (12) roses to plant that I got on sale for $6.99 each and you know they retail for $39.99 each. I've got to transplant my Brunswick Cabbage, Red Bull and Jade Cross Brussels. I'm going to look up on line how much light they need. I found out "Like most vegetables, cabbage needs at least 6 hours of full sun each day; more is better." The question is whether to plant these jewels over near my evil nbr where I have others planted, mid property, or in the back southern garden. I think I'll do mid property.
When you show a batch of stuff on your shows, could you please add a timer list in the Show More section, so that when we come back to this show, we don't have to search back and forth through the show to find what we're looking for?
That was the best and most direct explanation about GMO for regular gardeners I have seen. Great job guys. Thanks for cutting through the all the misinformation and hype.
Thanks for spreading the word about "GMO"! ... I do not like folks that try to profit off of other folks' fears.Excellent edition of the show today. Have a blessed day, both of you.
You can certainly grow a great fall garden. You're probably about 2 weeks ahead of us as far as fall planting goes. We've started collards, broccoli, cauliflower and those type crops already in the greenhouse. Still waiting to start lettuce, but you could probably go ahead and do so.
Travis: you mentioned GMO squash. Is there a particular type (crooked neck, summer, spaghetti, acorn, etc) that's been genetically modified? Or is it the whole curcubit family in general? I'm trying to dispel someone's paranoia about culinary pumpkin seeds, but I need the facts first. Thanks for the great info!
Not sure which varieties were genetically modified. But the important part is that those GMO seeds can't be bought by the general public. That's why we said there's zero chance of buying them accidentally.
@@gardeningwithhoss understood. I should have made myself more clear. This question relates more to produce We Buy in the grocery store, including fresh produce, or in this case, bagged pumpkin seeds, most of which come from China, as I understand it. Thanks so much for all the great info.
Another great show tonight, guys! Thank you for answering my question - I've just about got my seed order figured out. LOL, I'm also taking down the 10' x 10' wooden shed that sits on the NE edge of my garden instead of repairing it - that'll give me another 120 sq feet of garden space. I need that more than I need the shed!
We can't wait to order seeds & your seed starting kit for our farm Rocky Head Homestead! I teach a Junior Master Gardeners class (12 students) at our Wiregrass Homeschool Co-op. Last week we compared seed packets & seed companies. When I was done the four Mom's that assist me with class all asked for your website & TH-cam channel info which I was excited about & happy to provide!
@@gardeningwithhoss They were very healthy and producing very well. My top producer is LA Velvet with Red Burgundy second, and Clemson Spineless as last place. Early in the season there was an aphid problem solved with neem oil. There is scattered evidence of leaf damage. Within the last two weeks I've lost about 25% of the plants to this leaf drop problem. I am located in zone 8B North of Destin, Florida.
Thanks for all the great information, really enjoy watching each week. Just wondering what corn seeds are coated with that makes them pink. Thanks again for all the great products.
Our hybrid sweet corn seeds are coated with non-systemic fungicides like Thiram and Fludionoxil. These are pretty standard for all hybrid sweet corn. They are non-systemic, which means they don't get inside the plant. And their half-life is usually pretty short, so they're not sticking around for a while in the soil. We don't sell any seeds with systemic treatments that get inside the plant and subsequently inside the fruit.
Yes, double rows on drip tape. We've got several videos showing the process. Drip tape does well in fall. When buried, it doesn't freeze. It also empties well so there's not much water inside the tape to freeze.
80 lbs per acre is the equivalent of 1.84 lbs per 1,000 square feet. If you use a fertilizer like our 20-20-20 or Chilean Nitrate that's roughly 20% nitrogen, you would need a little less than 10 lbs to get that 1.84.
Pelleted. The seeds are encased in a little pellet to make them easier to handle. Nantes, yes. (pronounced "nahnt" if you're in France and not Georgia. ; ) )
@@gardeningwithhoss Pelleted so they fit the seeder for easy planting? If we hear new terms on a video, it would help if we saw a scroll on the bottom of the screen so we can spell it properly. And also a definition so we can properly understand it.
@@wendysgarden4283 I always hears carrot seeds were too small to easily deal with. A pelleted seed makes sense. From the biochemistry perspective, any purple vegetable would be healthier for us than would its normal color.
Thank ya, thank ya, thank ya for addressing the rampant GMO junk that is promulgated by so many these days! Another great show for my money, and I'll be sending you some more of my money, for some of those new seed varieties! Thanks again from here in East Texas, and thanks for that pumpkin recipe!!!!!!
Thanks for the GMO discussion I've known about the points you made for some time. But it's good to point out the scare tactics some seed companies are using. I hate that type of deception.
Great show guys! New seed lineup is strong. Thanks for addressing the GMO hysteria! We are in total agreement on that subject! I take exception with the implication some make, that some companies could be intentionally selling you GMO seeds without your knowledge. Syngenta, Monsanto, Pioneer etc. ain't interested in my little old garden....
I think Greg mentioned (a week or two back) some flowers for fall/cooler weather. What were they? Im in northeast Florida 9a. Too late for more zinnias? Thanks.
A channel MHP gardener addresses the GMO seed thing in depth. He basically says the same thing y'all say on videos a few years back. People who don't have a strong background in genetics have a hard time understanding.
Great show guys lots of good info.
Thanks y'all!

Thanks for watching Jordan! Can't wait to have some fall rutabagas in the ground!
Have y'all thought about a monthly newsletter?
We send two email newsletters per week.
@@gardeningwithhoss Where do we sign up for that?

@@gardeningwithhoss Thank you!!!
Beautiful Video and well explained !! Thank you for sharing !!
Thanks for watching!
You are Welcome
Solid lineup of fall seeds! Also that pumpkin soup...delicious!
Well hello there!
I like to boil my rutabaga root then mash it like mashed potatoes.
Good stuff!
Good for you, and WAA-AA-AAY less carbs! That's a very good thing!
Thank you gentlemen.
Gratitude🌱
Great video and recipe
It's a tasty treat for sure!
Try transplanting your seed cells of your green onions in between your romaine lettuce for nice blanched stems.
Good idea!
Best part of the info is the GMO stuff. I had no idea. Thanks.
You're welcome!
Great video.... I like the questions and how you answered them.
Thanks Larry!
That was the best and most direct explanation about GMO for regular gardeners I have seen. Great job guys. Thanks for cutting through the all the misinformation and hype.
You're very welcome!
Plz keep up the good wrk. Really appreciate it
We sure will!
Glad I found your channel! Great common sense advice especially for the South.
Glad you found us as well!
Thanks for spreading the word about "GMO"! ... I do not like folks that try to profit off of other folks' fears.Excellent edition of the show today. Have a blessed day, both of you.
And a blessed day to you as well!
You fellas are the best. I’m gonna buy several of your tools and a seeder this fall. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks! We'll be here when you get ready!
In my experience the bunching onions are the way to go for markets
Everyone loves a good bunch of spring onions!
How closely does zone 7 compare to your fall planting schedule. Farmers in my area don’t plant much in the fall but I would like to give it a shot.
You can certainly grow a great fall garden. You're probably about 2 weeks ahead of us as far as fall planting goes. We've started collards, broccoli, cauliflower and those type crops already in the greenhouse. Still waiting to start lettuce, but you could probably go ahead and do so.
Hoss Tools ok thank you very much. I’ll go ahead and get on it. I really appreciate this show and all the help you guys give! Keep it up!
Thanks for the show boys always good advice
Thanks Gary!
What makes the Yellowstone easier to grow? I have trouble with root crops due to my heavy clay soil plus all the rain from we get every fall/ winter.
Not quite sure why it is so easy to grow, it just is a solid performer year over year for us.

Great show guys! Excited for the new seed line up, glad you got some spinach!
We've had lots of folks asking for spinach, so we had to deliver!
Agreed! Already got my swan spinach in the ground also excited to plant my rutabaga seeds this fall.
Good show! Keep up the great work! Question: Why are my okra plants dropping all of their leaves overnight and dying?
Good question. Were they producing at one time and just stopped?
@@gardeningwithhoss They were very healthy and producing very well. My top producer is LA Velvet with Red Burgundy second, and Clemson Spineless as last place.

You Georgia boys have a lot of good knowledge about gardening, have you boys ever thought about writing a book for gardening in the south
We'll stick to the videos. No book plans in the future.
How do you grow your carrots? Double rows on drip tape? Do they do good on drip in fall? Does drip tape freeze?
Yes, double rows on drip tape. We've got several videos showing the process. Drip tape does well in fall. When buried, it doesn't freeze. It also empties well so there's not much water inside the tape to freeze.
Need help my soil test from NC state indicated I need 80 pounds per acre of nitrogen how do I convert it for 1000 square feet. Thanks guys
80 lbs per acre is the equivalent of 1.84 lbs per 1,000 square feet. If you use a fertilizer like our 20-20-20 or Chilean Nitrate that's roughly 20% nitrogen, you would need a little less than 10 lbs to get that 1.84.

Roughly...divide by 45.
More specifically, divide by 43.56.
That is spelled pellative and nantes form carrots?
Pelleted. The seeds are encased in a little pellet to make them easier to handle. Nantes, yes. (pronounced "nahnt" if you're in France and not Georgia. ; ) )
Haha. Thanks for the clarification. Yes, the pelleted seeds are coated in clay to make them round.

It's called the DryShod Sod Buster.
@@gardeningwithhoss Thank you!
Thank you for informing people all about the GMO bull. Like you said it's just a scare tactic.
Indeed it is -- garbage!
Did you say the name of the mustard leaf variety? I heard old southern favorite, AAS winner, 1935, but not a variety name.
I did not hear it either, but i believe that it is "Southern Giant". If it is it is a good mustard green.
