2023 Garden & Harvest Tour Week 10: Monster Tomatoes! 

You certainly can grow ground cherries in containers!!! ❤️🍅

Thank you so much! ♥️🤩

I need to deal with it today!

♥

It's been a great season here so far!! It's the birds. Usually the bugs are really bad by now, there's been a few squash bugs and Japanese beetles but not much beyond that... yet!

@@SageandStoneHomestead Someone sent them all down to Arkansas.

Thank you! ❤️🍅❤️

Thank you! The air quality has been iffy here but it should clear up soon!! Is it smoggy where you're at?

I'm so excited for you!! ❤️🍅

So far so good, the air quality hasn't been thr best around here but it will clear up soon!!

Thanks you guys!!!

Thank you so much!❤️🍅

Thank you so much!!

I need to deal with it tonight!!

It's amazing in there! Thanks so much!!

@@SageandStoneHomestead you're welcome 😁 So fresh..

It's SO peaceful. I want another archway somewhere next year!!

@@SageandStoneHomestead well, I'm excited to see that!!

Thank you. You too!!

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much! ❤️🍅❤️

Thank you so much! 🍅🍅🍅

Dang!!! I blame pill bugs or the heat!!!

@@SageandStoneHomestead I'm gonna go with probably both . There have been insane amounts of pill bugs and well, we both know how weird the weather in Ky has been lol.

How is your garden, Lety?!

@@SageandStoneHomestead it’s going strong, but tomatoes are nowhere near done, I have lots of baby ones 😂 My peppers are tiny too, but we started to heat up 2 weeks ago and really heat up this past week, otherwise has been a really nice summer to be outside, but not great for heat loving stuff. I have tons of strawberries, lettuce, beets, potatoes and flowers, this is the year for flowers! Like I didn’t love them, water them sporadically no compost etc and they are all blooming and happy! Go figure! I’ll add pictures to my community tab to show you 😆 I think my tomatoes and bell peppers will Be ready in October 😂 but that is ok… We have been going every weekend to the beach, hikes, making every meal in the grill and really enjoying being outside after the long winter❤️ Im editing right now back here under a tree because I refuse to go inside 😂😂😂 So the price is my best loving garden 😬 Im just happy it is summer, I’ll be happy to can all my tomatoes though 😆 and we are also working on a fenced garden area for the next spring, I can’t wait to have a dedicated space and not be all over the place at the time of planting😄

Thanks for watching!

Thank you! ❤️🍅

Yay that's so awesome Doris!!!

Thank you!!

Thank you!! There are a few tomatoes that I can't recall, but I'm 99% sure after sitting on it for a while that the orange tomato is Thornburns Terra Cotta.

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching! ❤️🍅

Last year I grew Heatmaster Tomatoes in the greenhouse and Belgian Giant in the raised bed garden. This year I'm growing Belgian Giant and Brandywine in the raised bed garden as well as Black beauty, Thornburns TerraCotta, and a few plum and cherry tomato types: Black Strawberry tomato, Tigerella, SuperSweet 100, Blue Cream Berries and Yellow Currant Tomatoes ♥

Awesome, thank you for sharing ❤

Thank you!!

Yes!! ❤️🍅

Yay congrats!!

Yea that's an amazing idea!!

I am SO EXCITED about the melon bounty this season!!

Thank you so much! There definitely is disease I just cut diseased leaves off the plants a couple times a week to try to prolong their lives! The disease is about due to take over anyway though, it probably won't be so lush for long!! ❤️

I'm going to look into those!! Thanks so much!!

I'm going to do that!! Thank you!!

Whaaaat?! I had no idea! Does it matter how old the plant is?

@@SageandStoneHomestead we let the heads get ready then pick them. Then wait about 4 days pull up stalks and cut in 12” lengths. Split in half and dig out white goodie!!!! Place in dehydrator or freeze dry. After done powder up and store on shelf. I have some that is 2 years old and still good. I always add about a tablespoon of flour to 1 cup sunflower flour. Makes great for fried foods or add to meatloaf. Yum yum

I'm SO doing this! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel!! ❤️

Thank you!!

Well come I am interested this work gardning harvesting

This is my passion

We need to hang up a hammock!!

I find that plants tolerate heat much better when grown in ground! Thanks for being here!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! ❤️

Hello there! Thank you so much!! Stay cool!

@@SageandStoneHomestead do you trade seeds ?🍅

Yes I've participated in seed swaps before!

Cool ! If I send you some of the seeds I have would you mind trading with me ? 😂

Oh the Tajin beans soun AMAZING! Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️

Wow that's insanely hot!!

@@SageandStoneHomestead It has been insanely hot especially this year! We have not had all time record breakers but breaking records for this or that date AND Phoenix recorded the highest overnight LOW temp this week in history; Like 97 degrees overnight. Here at my place (90 miles east of Phx and 3300 ft elevation) it was 90 degrees at 5;30 this morning... This has been miserable and unrelenting, this is usually our monsoon season and even if we don't get a lot of rain we will have some cloud cover but not happening right now

Thank you! 🤩

Yes and that's so amazing!!! I'm glad to hear they are delicious!! 🤩

Thank you!! I'm hoping it hangs on!!

I wonder too!! I would think maybe? A lot of suppliers list growing zones. See what Stark Bros or Growers solution says online!

The winter here was really mild except 2 days thar were horrendously cold. Honestly I'd rather have the normal level of bugs!

I will!!

🤩🍅

It's been pretty wet here lately!

Hello, Welcome to the channel! ♥

Send me an email! I am sure I've got more seed, plus I have some I can save out of these Tomatoes! SageAndStoneHomestead@gmail.com

Yes they do!!! I love them!

Oh that's an idea!!!

♥️🍅

♥️🍅♥️

I got them from seeds n such!

Yup. It is also called Patty pan.

Hello! ♥️

@@SageandStoneHomestead I really like your fruit garden, it's amazing! Wishing you and your family good health and peace

Thank you so much! Stay safe!!

Have you seen those beetle traps? I've seen some farms catch thousands in just hours! Otherwise I would tent trees.

We have made that before! Not green chilli sauce but a red one! 😊

Most of the vines I only trained in the beginning but the melons and cukes I have to re-wrap every so often!

I had both but I can't recall if I showed either in this tour. We usually don't have time to show everything in ever tour but each tour we mix it up 😊

❤️❤️❤️

Diced and pan fried is one way we have been doing it, but also breaded and air-fried dipped in ranch! So good! Raw is also delicious, it's a lot like a creamy carrot. We have put it in cucumber salad and loved it.

@@SageandStoneHomestead Thank you! Might grow some next year.

We grew two winter squash this year, one is called Tromboncino and the other one is Spaghetti Squash

It's such a lovely spot!
