I'm growing pumpkins for the second time in my life, the first time was an old pumpkin I threw on a brush pile one fall and forgot about until late summer when they were everywhere. I guess I didn't grow them at all, they grew themselves. 😂
My goodness you have absolutely beautiful hands and fingernails. Beautiful natural hands and especially nails. Also the sunflower information is good to know, thank you 😊
what do you spray on your tomato plants to get rid of pests? Mine are covered with spider webs which probably means lots of bugs around. Would never pluck and pop one right in my mouth.
I am researching dwarfs because of their size. Hoping to find similar tastes to replace the classic ind. varieties I have. I’m in 8a but have very hot dry summers. Looking forward to next spring!
We have so many incredibly tasting tomatoes. Wilpena has won taste tests 2 years in a row! Not to mention the other amazing tasting dwarf tomatoes we have. Check them all out. You won’t be disappointed!
Thank you so much! I've been a leaf picker all these years: No more! and how cool to plant more all at once. The milder flavor means I can pack more into my bowl...and the kid's bowls, too. Wonderful :)
I just discovered your channel after searching for how to grow Likikoi fruit from seed. I live in HI on Big Island, Northern side of Kona so sunny and warm. I’m at a very slight higher elevation like 8 min up from KOA airport. Hope that won’t affect growth. I picked up two yellow fruits from the ground during my early morning walk. Didn’t even know what they were, until I got home and cut one open. Did research and found a diamond to be treasured! I had my first taste on top of vanilla yogurt a/sprig of fresh mint. I’m in love!!! Thanks for the info on its growth etc. watch another vid on how to prep the seeds for planting and it growth so combining info on both videos I’m ready to get started!
😢😢 what about zone 8 July and August are our hottest months. September is goes from 100 to 80 lol. It’s not “cool” until nighttime in October and daytime at the END of October and then we still have “hot days” in November too. Our cold months are Jan-February
This time of year, pretty much all of the zones are the same. Same places get wetter/drier or a little hotter or colder, but you can still grow these, especially in 8. Seedlings need extra protection & moisture for sure!
Actually we used it on the farm vertically for our Dixie Giants and it worked pretty good! It's not meant to hold tuns of weight but it's worth using . It's great for sweet pea flowers too. Lot's of good uses.
We typically get them in around late winter, early spring. Best thing is to sign up on the product page to be notified. We usually take pre-orders to get them out the door ASAP. We have had so much fun with this new product. We hope you will too.
I live near San Francisco California. My pumpkins are bright orange. It doesn’t look like they’re getting any bigger. I want to use them for Halloween. Should I leave them on the vine or harvest and store them somewhere?
Every variety can be a little different, but it sounds like they may be ready. You can cure them, and they'll store until then. Also be sure to check the "days to harvest" and make sure you're within that window.
Total yield is going to be less for sure. Dwarfs can get totally loaded with fruit, but it's a much smaller plant rather than something that you might have growing up 10+ feet over the season.
@@SanDiegoSeedCompany And will indeterminate dwarves produce continuously until the end of the season (until frost or something like late blight gets them)?
No such thing as indeterminate dwarfs. 😂 @@rose_roots dwarfs are technically called determinates and they produce heavily then die off. Indeterminates continue producing until frost.
I am in year 2 of gardening and I found that dwarf tomatoes are the perfect size for my garden. Also very manageable if you dont have tons of time to put into maintaining a large structure. Thanks for this video, very informative. Hoping to start finding other varieties to take advantage of going into next season.
If you end up with more than you can use, you can put them in the dehydrator, break them up or grind them for powder. They actually keep for a while in the house if kept in the right environment. I dehydrate anything that gets limp or soft so I can use it later on.
❓❔❓❔❓ okay .... question .... DO YOU PUT IN FRESH horse manure???? ALSO, be aware, if horse owner is blasting their horse every 2 months or so with a worming product, those chemicals will carry into the manure. I give my horses DE daily to combat the parasites organically. So, I have plenty of 'clean' manure but have always heard you need to 'cure' it by leaving it out for +/- 6 months before using .... hence the question. BTW, learned of and purchased dwarf tomatoes from you and looking forward to harvesting what the varmints don't beat me to. . . . urghhhh!
I`m growing compact 8 to 9 inch tall and wide micro dwarf tomatoes in 5 gallon hydro buckets outside in Louisiana under the edge of my camper roof in mostly bright shade except morning and late evening but the original parent plant bucket is under a 15 watt directional bulb at night. It looks better but the others bloom and fruit more. I have no clue what variety they are but they`re very red when ripe. I planted "Pinocchio Orange" but that`s not what`s growing. But maybe I got the seeds mixed up because a freeze came and I moved pots I started them in and some froze. Anyway, I`ve cloned the original to make more because they taste much better than the sour, tasteless Tiny Tim I first planted (It`s still alive in the garden, ha! Soil didn`t improve taste.) and are very compact and productive and in winter I move them inside. The original was planted about 2 years ago. I want to try a bigger variety inside in winter. These are cherry types.
I put the feathers of dill in a freezer bag coverer with kosher salt and place in freezer. Have fresh dill all winter long. Just rinse salt off dill before using.
