If you`re in or near a city I highly recommend escaping to a rural area while you can. You can catch fish, hunt, trap, and grow and forage for food. If you know someone with an unused garden and you`re in an area with long hot Summers ask them if you can plant some food on it. And pass the following info along because we`re in serious trouble…
The government used to pay people to grow the heat, drought, and poor soil tolerant Red Ripper Peas to build soil and popularize them as a food crop and livestock food. Purple Yard Long Asparagus Beans, and Blackeyed Peas plus Okra, Pumpkins, and Sweet Potatoes are great Summer food crops because they love heat. Blackeyed Peas, Yard Long Pole Beans, Okra, Red Rippers, and Sweet Potatoes have edible leaves.
Blackeyed Pea leaves have up to 40% protein. Plant dry peas from the store (this can be done in cooler weather with dry sweet peas). Use a blender to pulverize the leaves of these if you don`t like them, then add to soups or blanch and freeze. New Zealand Spinach is another heat loving plant with edible leaves and Amaranth is too and has edible leaves and seeds. Also research Jerusalem Artichokes, Peanuts, Moringa, Malabar Spinach, Yacon, Jicama, Rattlesnake Pole Beans, Winter Squash, Sugar Baby Melons, Cantaloupe, Marketmore Cucumbers, Armenian Cucumbers, Scarlet Runner Pole Beans, White Half Runner Beans, Strike Bush Beans, and Blueberry, Blackberry, Pear, and Fig types for hot climates.
We love our wick tubs, now have 42.
Thanks! I wonder what was the date you recorded. I’m in San Antonio. My squash have been producing for several weeks. My tomatoes too have been producing for two week. I would not expect that much variation unless you recorded awhile back. Nice job!
Wow…Looks like I should have used a cage around my Maters this year. I staked em instead because I had more plants than cages and used my cages for trellis' for the cucumbers. Then my mater plants got so heavy, the limbs started breaking that I didn't get tied up before the winds came.
My Hossinator bells are simply huge – I couldn't be happier with how they're doing. Hossinator tomatoes are bigger than baseballs now, and they're doing just what yours are, so bushy it's hard to find the tomatoes. Gotta thank you for all your praise of Hoss Tools, I've been buying my seeds etc from them for a couple years now and I'm so impressed. Those folks drag you into their family and don't let you go! 🙂
Thanks i have several earth boxes and absolutely like the water reservoir and self watering nature of the design. I also follow your version of Mr Leon's wicking tub for my home made 5 gallon wicking tubs! I have been thinking about some kind of over crop in my Earth Boxes and wicking tubs for fall maybe Annual Rye.
You're soon to have tomatoes running out of your ears!
Cherokee Purple is a great tomato too.
Nothing better than homemade spaghetti sauce. Two jalapeno pepper plants give me more peppers than I can ever eat.
Mmmm! Baked Summer Squash is a favorite of mine.
How about Pickled Spiced Summer Squash? A few years back I bought some peaches to make spiced pickled peaches. I made up the brine and grabbed the peaches but they were spoiled and unusable. I used what I had on hand and that was Summer Squash. Believe it or not, it wasn't at all a failure. Ever had squash that tastes exactly like Spiced Pickled Peaches?
Always appreciate your content. Can Hoss seeds be saved year to year?
I have the city pickers. I actually really packed them. What are you using as cages? Are they on the ground or in the planters?
Looking great, Alan!
Love these Blaze Green Beans by Hoss and the Max Pack Cucumbers . Planted Shelby and Hossinator tomatoes.
The garden is beautiful and thriving! Love the SIP's! and the mulch mulch vs the plastic mulch..lol I use an oz per gal of Dr. Bronners in a pump sprayer for the occasional pest pressure.
Only one I got going crazy is a 12-14” tall early girl with over 20 tomato’s on it. I got it all held up with a couple lines and she ain’t slowing down
I love your channel! Do you have a video detailing how you do your watering system? Couldn’t find one but would love to see how you did all your watering for the wicking tubs and earth boxes. Thanks brother!
Everything is looking great in the Earthboxes! I planted 2 Prime Arks in one box and one in another last year. Getting a great first harvest on last years canes now and the new canes are 5 feet tall and growing (I live in San Diego, Ca).
Question: How much Micro Boost do you use in the Earthboxes? I can't figure out how much to use.
Them maters are putting mine to shame sir….lol
This year I'm having good success with containers in South Central Texas zone 8b.
I'm using old water troughs that leak. I'm trying Hügelkultur in them. All are doing good except for 2 of them that I purchased soil from a nursery. I will have to incorporate more organic matter next year.
The ones that I used old compost that had set for 5 years are doing fantastic! Growing corn, onions, peas, spinich, cabbage and carrots.
I have around 10 whicking tubs I made last year the way Mr Leon suggested, using old plastic milk jugs and water bottles. I first planted bush green beans in them to check for grazon. I then companioned planted berries, peppers and herbs. The beans were cheap Dollar General seeds I got fot 10 cents a package. I only have problems eith one plant that has aphids. They kill easy with Dawn dish soap and water spray.
I'm getting 3 pint jars full of beans every other day.
Every one that sees what I've done is amazed! I send them links to your videos.
I have plenty of pots to make more, but It'll have to wait a bit as I had surgery last week.
Thank you for all you do!
Your garden looks great. I like the mulch. I grabbed a few earthboxes last week and am using your 10-20-10 fertilizer to make them. Do you still think that's a good way to do it?
Also, how many Earthboxes do you grow in? Trying to gauge how much production I can get. Got any idea how many it would take to produce enough to feed 4 people with fresh food for the season and be able to put up for winter as well? Just thinking…. Somewhere I read/heard 40lbs of tomatoes per earthbox, and I was trying to calculate what a feller would need. Thanks!
Your garden is looking amazing those containers rack
I've been gardening for 10 years, after trying all type of containers, nothing beat Earthbox for me. People are always skeptical when I talk about it because of the high price, but a lot of similar products just doesn't hold up over time, unless you are willing to pay for something more expensive. I leave these outdoor during the winter and the plastic had no problem surviving the freeze. When I moved I gave my friend my Earthbox, then I buy new ones again, otherwise I would have a dozen Earthbox by now.
I do have wheels on them and their staking system addon, my favorite use for them is specially growing the Rapunzel hybrid cherry tomatoes, they need to grow tall and with less stems in order to produce the long trusses.
Very nice garden..👍
I planted red snappers this year and i planted them in grow bags. I put organic fert. And worm castings. But they seem to be struggling. I water them everyday and they have good drainage. Not sure whats going on. The other two varieties i have were planted the same and they are growing really well and are really green.
