Awesome! I can't wait until the house is completely finished so I can start plants earlier and have somewhere to move them when it's cold besides having to put heat lamps in the greenhouse!
Your Tomatoes are looking amazing! I just up potted mine i have 100's of plants in my house right now stiil have a few weeks till my last frost date. Cant wait till the garden is fully planted out. I usually have it done by Easter in my zone. Can't wait to see everything u have growing in it's full glory. Thanks for sharing❤
Have you grown Orange & Pink Jazz tomatoes before? They are some of my all time favorite tomatoes (we trial 20-50 new varieties every year typically). I'd love to see how these do for you.
THANK YOU.⚜🔆🔱
Try a sweet 100 cherry if you never tried one. It is very productive with a great taste.
Excellent job, your plants look great and will be a great start for your garden.
Seedlings lookin good. Almost that time to get them out in the garden. Started my seeds coupl weeks ago just startin to break thru. I still hv alot of work to do to get my beds ready.
Good video, I'm in zone 8A in GA. Where did you get the green house? Currently have plants in my garage and the fungus gnats are annoying.😑 Any suggestions?
I'm growing tomatoes for the first time and watching a dwarf next to cherry tomato plants growing can be overwhelming. There's not a lot of videos on growing dwarfs that I can used as a guideline. Appreciate if u can do an in depth look on dwarf tomatoes especially their growth stages, tips and tricks.. Thanks.!. ☺️
I really like all the varieties of figs you’re growing as well as the grafting experiments. Looking forward to taste tests and grafting results.
You have an awesome lineup of plants for your coming season. I picked up a greenhouse like that at Aldi about a month ago and am going to tie it to the house for our winter. Your video reminded me to start some rosella purple among others. Should do okay in there.
Those parthinocarpic tomatoes and cucumbers you are growing will be especially interesting.
Could your unknown pepper be something like a Trinidad Perfume?
When did you start your Rosella Purple? How did you grow it? Mine are tiny!
Any chance you can do a video on starting sunflowers from seed since you doing them soon? I’ve never started anything from seeds and I’m trying sunflowers with my daughter soon, probably early April bc I’m in CT.
Go go go
Nice stuff. Couldn't help but notice your fruiting citrus. Can you do a video on them, what you're growing, and the techniques you're using to have successful fruit production in your area? Love watching your videos!
I tried growing some sweet banana and pepperocini this year but both didn't germinate. Maybe my seeds were too old. Most of my other peppers all came up. Will have to look for some seeds for next season. Probably too late to start some for this year. I didn't realize cucumbers required pollination. I have lots of bees though and usually plant a few.
Your plants look amazing! How long ago did you start the tomatoes in grow bags and did you keep them in that greenhouse or inside with grow lights?
“You’re such a criminal, smuggling hot pepper seeds 😂”
Hey, I'm the guy that lives near you on OKI. I just got a fig tree and a BUNCH of cuttings from a lady I met at lowes. She doesn't know what type of fig it is, she got it from a 90 year old neighbor who brought it from Lebanon during World War 2. If you want some of the cuttings, let me know! I can bring them to you or you can come get them. Shoot me and email mtb527@gmail.com
Are the dwarf tomatoes determinate or indeterminate?
Impressive collection of tomatoes and organization skills! Makes me want to buy more seeds especially pepper. Look forward to seeing more updates about your garden. Best of luck. Stay safe and healthy!
I was thinking of picking up one of those popup greenhouses and throwing a space heater in it. I think that should save you the trip into the house. Your garden is going to be a beast, I love the set up. Awesome…OH. P.S. I'm CTPERMA on OurFigs. You and I seem to have a very similar gardening philosophy and ethnic inspiration. I am not plugging my channel (I only do 1 or 2 vids a year), but if you find a moment check it out…I wish I had your weather; the fig possibilities are endless. The video is titled 2019 Food Forest Garden Tour. I'm in 6B
Have you grown squash or cucumbers here yet? The vineborers here (around Wilmington) are very relentless. I've found we have a short window in spring if we get an early start to get a few squash before the vineborer finds them. Cucumbers I found I am able to get some fruit but lose a lot of them pickleworm. The pickleworm also attacks cantaloupe very relentlessly here. I was finally able to grow and eat cantaloupe last year by wrapping each fruit in fabric (row cover) to protect it from the pickleworm. Will be very interested to see what kind of success you have. This year I ordered these large fruit fabric bags from amazon to put over the cantaloupes. Also watermelon are not affected at all and they do great here.
Will you keep the tomatoes in the grow bags? Which size do you recommend for the dwarves and big heirloom indeterminates?
Can you share where you got your seeds for the cool weather tomatoes?
You are one of my favorite gardeners!! You are so thorough in explaining all that you do so we can be successful!! Thank you!! Follow up with a video of your garden this summer!! Thank you!! 👍🏻👏🏻🦋
I want a Martinique seed 😭😭😭
Man I am really enjoying all of your videos! Thanks for doing them!!
