Oh my. I am so excited. I finally have my farm. I lost my 81 year old father and miss him terribly BUT he left me his home in Camden Tennessee it's on an acre. I have followed you since covid and have only dreamed. You and roots are the best. I can't wait to use some of the skills I have learned from watching you all.❤
I've watched all the top gardening videos and I think you are the best, most informed. It took me a while to figure out how knowledgeable and skilled you are because you seem so friendly and light about it! Your instructional videos show how expert you are! Do more! I have been gardening fity years and had 200 tomatoes last year, over 100 the year before, tried numerous techniques and grown all my own plants from seed and even grafted 16 plants last year and I till learned something new and helpful about not pruning a large sucker from your videos on growing tomatoes, best practices. Love your videos! Keep it up. Your additional info on flowers is awesome. 😊
Thank you for sharing. Could you please share more videos on market gardening? Maybe even start another channel on the business side of farming? I know you’re about to move to another property but maybe after you move let us know if you’re willing to share more of this content. God bless you and your family.
So much helpful information. I have pretty much given up growing tomatoes because by the time I think they are ready to pick, the birds have already feasted on them. I even stopped growing red varieties and focused on yellow because I was told the birds would not think they were ripe and would leave them alone. I have always heard that tomatoes are best if they ripen on the vine. Hence the words “vine ripened” on the store package. I live in an urban area with no farm stands or farmers markets nearby. This new information brings new hope for “home grown” tomatoes in my life. I can now pick my red varieties while they are mostly green with no holes left by snacking birds.
Everytime I watch your videos it automatically takes me back in Time to the summer of 82. A beautiful young lady and I spent the summer as young teens, we had so much fun with our friends, swimming, bonfires. And we're still friends till this day. .. God speed
Thank you! We run our non-profit horse therapy ministry on our homestead. Looking to offer a farm stand at the barn of our produce from our growing garden :) This is my first test year to see how much I need for not only my family but also to "sell".
Love your channel and I loved seeing your trombocino squash on the trellis! I JUST got my first baby trombocino the other day (zone 6b) I am in LOVE. Also a helpful video.
Thank you so much for sharing! Market gardening of some sort is on my list of things I want to move towards in some capacity 💜 if nothing else, producing most of my family’s food
this is amazing information! it really made me rethink my intentions with my garden. just a different perspective to look at it. i think we all dream of selling our produce in some fashion, but the reality is the profitable garden isn't going to be quite as traditionally pretty. love it. thanks for sharing. really enjoying this type of content. just rediscovering your channel.
Thank you for this Your excitement is contagious. I love being in my garden, I wish I could be as confident. Your very good at teaching. Blessings to you and your family for a successful future..love and blessings... your going to do some amazing things with your new farm.
Great topic!!! I have been toying with joining our farmers market here in Russellville or Dardanelle next year. I love the idea of cut flower gardening too! Happy harvesting!
Great video! Did y'all sell the purple hull peas well? People here in East Texas really want to buy them unshelled and no one sells them like that anymore. Which I get, but so many people have those memories of shelling peas with grandma and miss it. I've just been thinking of adding a pea patch. We sell our muscadines and do ok with them.
I'm coming back to watch this a year later. Great information. I am wondering though, what would be a good starting price when pitching to a restaurant? And do you charge per pound, or per item? I'd imagine it's different for different veggies, herbs, lettuces.. I could keep going.. lol. All the different things.
All great questions and it really depends on your market. I encourage you to find a local restaurant that supports local farms. I would walk right in after the lunch rush and ask to speak with the owner/chef/manager to setup a time to talk with them. Don't get discouraged if they say no . You may have to show them pictures of your growing space or even bring them some produce. Hope this helps and I wish you the best this growing season
Hey Jill! This may be a silly question, but by “pop them in the cooler,” do you mean the fridge or freezer? 🙃💜 Love your content and your personality 💕 thank you for your knowledge!!!
I think it's hilarious how you could care less about looking at lettuce and this year was my first time growing lettuce and I am just all starry-eyed staring at it I think it's beautiful thing I have ever 🤣🤣also you talked about putting vegetables in a cooler to keep them fresh longer ,do you mean a refrigerator?
Love this so helpful went to see if I could get that tromponzino(don’t know how to spell) squash cause I have been binging your videos and your love for them is contagious but I can’t find them 🥺
Thank you sweet dear for all your help. ❤️😃. I’m wondering if I could message you and ask about getting a grant? Love your content! Keep it coming 😃😃😃❤️
Hii!!!!! so newbie here and I have a question about harvesting sooner/before ripping. Does that affect the nutrition aspect of it, or alter anything else, besides say the size if even that at all? Thank you, and love your channel!
Hey welcome to our journey ❤ When your tomatoes start to show signs of ripening, they are as big as they will become. If you harvest before completely ripening, then they store longer
