Hi Roxana. I've been watching for years. Some words of encouragement form a 72 year old seasoned gardener. I love growing from seed. I cannot let a seedling die. Annuals and perennials. So I always end up with so many plants and have to squeeze into my already over crowded garden. This year I put a table up at the end of my driveway( 1/8 mile long out of sight of my house). I offered my overstock of seedlings at a reasonable price. I had a lock box on the telephone pole for the honor system. It was fantastic and so fun. I made over $600 in the month of June. I was shocked and my little babies got new homes to very happy customers. Give it a go you will do very well. It works. Good luck. From a gardening friend. Glenda

Watching you cut and peel your garlic was so relaxing to me, 😂 made me want to think about growing it.

@SoilandMargaritas 18 дней назад

You should!!!!

@naurekk 8 дней назад

Do it! It is so easy, plant it in the fall and forget it for most of the year. It's so juicy and fresh compared to the grocery store.

@Theresefay 18 дней назад

I've been watching you in your garden for the past 4 years I believe, and I think selling seedlings is a very good idea. You are very good at nursing plants and I can tell you I'll be your customer. If you are shipping them.

@SoilandMargaritas 18 дней назад

😀 I don’t think I will ship any unfortunately, but I appreciate your comment.

This was my first summer using Texas Tomato Cages and now I regret it took me years to decide to buy them. It's the easiest tomato support I've ever used. The tomato plant is secure and not tied to anything. Next year I'm going to spread out the tomatoe plants around the garden instead of keeping them all together in hope of finding some cooler spots with a little shade.

@dianesgardeninspiration 11 дней назад

Roxana how exciting to be able to share seedlings and flowers!!! Gosh I wish I lived closer to you. Wishing you success and happiness. 🌻🌻🌻

I love my Mexican sunflowers, too! So do my pollinators. It's my first year growing them, too. Best wishes to you on your seedling sale journey. Would love to try something like that, too. Thank you for sharing the legal information you learned. That's good to know.

Yes Roxana, for us in southern Indiana, we had a terrible year for slicer tomatoes.

@ashleyannbates3800 15 дней назад

Raspberries are the number one plant i regret planting 4 years ago when I started my little backyard garden. Noboy told me that they spread like fire! I wish I had bought the non suckering variety. I don't blame you for donating them and good luck because nobody in their right mind would want to take them LOL

Your garlic is beautiful! Weather here in WV has been crazy! No rain and rabbits and deer have been horrible! Very few tomatoes. Cucumbers were pulled off by the deer and plants died. Weed killers should not be sprayed near gardens!

@SoilandMargaritas 18 дней назад

I did a few successions of cucumber and that’s how I have been getting plenty of harvest, I’m actually sick of them this year.

We are experiencing a similar poor tomato harvest in Central New York this season. Like you, the very early hot weather may have affected their production. Like many crops, there are good and bad years. On another topic, have you seen Rachel’s farm stand on That 1870’s Homestead? It’s her first year and she has been very busy. It might offer a bit of inspiration.

@SoilandMargaritas 18 дней назад

I haven’t seen hers yet, I will check it out soon. I have been watching others trying to pick up a tip or two and deciding what to do.

@dawndawn6946 18 дней назад

Hi, Roxana! I use that trellising system, but the lean and lower did not work for me. I couldn’t figure out how to keep the plants off the ground. I still use the spools and string. I allowed my plants to climb up to the top (12 foot high tunnel), and then just let them flop over. They are so ugly, but the plants are still producing! I let the suckers grow starting in July because I’m too short to reach them without a ladder. And I am too lazy to go get the ladder,😆 It’s such a bummer about the lost plants due to spraying. People who use that stuff don’t normally think of vegetable gardeners or even consider other peoples plants.

@SoilandMargaritas 18 дней назад

Being short is a struggle in the garden for sure 😩

@Cathy_MidwestHome_Hens 18 дней назад

I planted mexican sunflower (tithonia) last year for the first time and this year I had a few volunteers and they got huge. I love them!!! Lost a big one to 80 mph winds in July but the other is huge and still blooming. I’m south of Omaha NE. you can plant tithonia in the yard in the fall

@SoilandMargaritas 18 дней назад

I don’t know if I can do that here during the fall for Tithonia, I can’t do that with any of the flowers really unless they are perennials.

@kimfox5186 17 дней назад

Some good ideas for your new gardening year. Have you ever tried fermenting some of your garlic? It's super easy, delicious and so good for you. 😊

@dustyflats3832 18 дней назад

“Stupid Crazy!” You said it! 😂 WI we had same. Many said tomatoes were the worst. They just never grew -stunted and early blight. Oh, Sorry there was possibility of overspray-sigh. Today in WI we have several temp gauges and we have 100*-105*F with real feel temp 110*F because of dew points in upper 70s-ITS HOT! Way too hot for us. Not normal after having a week off all weather. The low last night was 71.4*F with tomorrow the same then switching back to cooler weather by weekend. The trellis system wouldn’t work here as the tomatoes sunburned with early blight. I think the deluge of rain all summer drained the nutrients and knocked off pollen. I’m not starting tomatoes by backfilling half filled cells again either. Not all were started that way, but when I pulled a plant there were 2 tiers of small roots and I’ve never had such problems with tomatoes. So like you I thought-What went wrong? I had to pull out shade fabric for fall plantings. It’s getting tricky to garden and time consuming. I wondered if we’d have an early fall, but now I wonder if we will ever have a cold winter as the last two were way too warm. I don’t go by dates to plant garlic anymore because last year the temps increased all the way from Halloween to Christmas. I will definitely mulch them heavy to prevent premature growth as that happened 2 years ago and they didn’t do well come spring. I start taking it off once it seems safe enough late winter. We just brought in all potatoes, onions and garlic to protect from heat. My garlic I’m sure is mixed and I don’t mind. I just use the largest to replant and I had a bumper crop this year. I peel some for dehydrator and set it outside 😅 then powder it in a grinder-fantastic! I generally just peel when needed. I thought about chopping and putting in a jar,but read it was easy to get botulism. Keep cool as I’m sure you are in this heat blast also.

@SoilandMargaritas 18 дней назад

This weather has definitely been hard this year, I hope the new gardeners who decided to grow food this year for the first time don’t give it up.

@sbffsbrarbrr 18 дней назад

I still haven't come across a way of trellising tomatoes that I like or want to take time to build, or spend money on 😁. Right now I just use those 7 foot green garden stakes that I pound into the ground, then use cut up t-shirt material to attach the stalks. I buy the t-shirts at goodwill for a couple of dollars and bleach to reuse for the following year. I do some pruning but mostly I just let the suckers grow, some even along the ground. My harvests have been good so far but we have the same hot weather and no rain for about 3 weeks. Definitely having an effect on the tomatoes. Might actually have to water for the first time this season. Thank you for the garlic reminder and I already placed an order for the Mexican sunflower.

@SoilandMargaritas 18 дней назад

You will love this Mexican sunflower! I’m gonna have to figure out trellising for next year, I have plenty of choices

@emkn1479 18 дней назад

Similar tomato issues. I grew them in a newer garden area and the soil just couldn’t keep up with the intense heat and drought this summer. I’m getting some, but nothing like last year in the raised beds. This is a better spot though so I’m hoping to improve the soil and make it work in further years. I lost half my garlic to maggots of an allium fly. I’m not growing any alliums in the garden for a couple of seasons and using nematodes to hopefully fix it. Cucumber pests have been bad, as always, and my plants are barely hanging on or producing. I covered squashes for the first month or so and that got them established, but they’re giving up now. But I have plenty of beans and corn and beets, among other things, so I’m still happy 😅 gardening is hard! Isn’t tithonia incredible?! It’s one of my absolute favorites.

@SoilandMargaritas 18 дней назад

Gardening is hard! And yes, that tithonia is so beautiful!

@mildredkrisik8888 18 дней назад

I am certain that weed killer migrates somewhat through the ground into adjacent areas. Two years ago I lost my flowers and almost my small juniper tree because the neighbor sprayed the weeds on her side of the fence. Thankfully she hasn't done it since and I've had no further problems.

@SoilandMargaritas 18 дней назад

Oh I’m so sorry! People don’t realize how harsh that can be.

Here in Ky. I havent had the tomato hauls from my garden as I did last yr. I am in Western ky. My squash have been doing great this yr. 1st yr in a long time that squash have done so well. When I plant my garlic I usually take a bag of alfalfa pellets and spread them in the area and water in. then a week later I usually plant my garlic mid nov here in ky.
