    I disagree with your assessment. Some hybrids are superior to some heirloom varieties. Demonizing a entire type of cultivar is ridiculous. There are advantages & disadvantages to both. The biggest advantage that hybrids have is hybrid vigor. (Think about mules... Stronger, larger & healthier than most breeds of horses.) Heirlooms are notoriously finicky about conditions such as local climates. (Divas...) Hybrids are demonstrably better able to survive the rigors of gardening in a variety of grow zones than an heirloom that is bred for specific conditions in specific grow zones. Also, hybrids are a good way for novice gardeners to gain experience. Once the new gardeners gain confidence, they can branch out into heirlooms that are known to produce well in their area. The only real disadvantage to hybrids is that it is useless to save their seeds. As for flavor, that is a criteria that is entirely subjective. You mention that heirloom tomatoes are sweeter... To me, that is awful. I dislike sweet tomatoes. I want a tomato that is slightly acidic, like the older heirloom varieties used to be before breeders bred them to be sickeningly sweet.

      Thank you for your comment. I appreciate that you took the time to comment, especially with such a detailed comment. You make excellent points. I should be careful as a homesteader and someone trying to develop food autonomy not to be judgemental of the hard work people do, for instance, with their work on hybrids. I do say that the hybrids I sowed resisted the blight as they were meant to. I also mentioned that I only tried a few varieties. However, you are correct that I should not give the impression that all hybrids are this way, and I should be more careful about this. I should mention however that personally, seed collection is one of the most important criteria and it speaks to a gardener’s own future and capacity to choose and develop preferences. Hybrids, unfortunately, don’t offer that option. However, when doing a video like this, I should be more balanced. Thank you again.

    What a great video. Thank you. I grow mostly hybrids because of the disease resistance and there are a few that have good (not great) flavor. My favorite is Bella Rosa. I live in the low country south of Charleston South Carolina and summer heat and humidity is brutal on tomatoes. My experience with open pollinated varieties is that they seem to be more regionally specific, a Brandywine is fantastic but will not last long here. My goal next year is to grow 4 heirloom/ open pollinated tomatoes that were developed here in the south to withstand the summer weather. Marglobe, Neptune, Floridade and Homestead 24. They are also determinate as I don’t feel like indeterminate will survive the summer no matter what the variety. If just one or 2 of these varieties do well I will be thrilled and will have a source for my own seed saving. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, your passion for tomatoes is wonderful to see.

      Thank you Everett! (One of my brothers has the same name as you!). You have given me a new research idea. Regional preferences for heirlooms. You are in the southernmost climate zone of which I am just north of the northernmost part. The Carolinian Zone, so your description of the summer is very familiar! I’m literally only a few kilometres north of what would be considered the northern edge of the Carolinian, but I grew up in southern Ontario in the heart of Carolinian Ontario, and my area is looking and feeling more and more Carolinian every year. I have been planting Carolinian species to support the wildlife that is arriving more and more.

    I grow almost all heirlooms, cold tolerant from a small supplier in Germany. I also have one hybrid small round tomato that was from overwintered cuttings, and also an oxheart from cuttings. I sowed a mix of packet seeds and my own saved seeds. We had tricky cold conditions mid spring, and it was blindingly obvious that the seedlings from my own saved seeds grew quicker, better and stronger. I planted some outside and some in 2 greenhouses. I have added a new garden so many spots were unknown to me. We got blight very early, primarily in the potatoes (I'm surrounded by farms for many many kilometres, and some grow potatoes). I saved the potatoes, at the cost of a smaller harvest. I had to pull 6 plants that were in a damper spot (with peppers and aubergines and chillies... Basil and marigolds got eaten by slugs, alyssum survived). I made an awesome green tomato chutney :-). The other plants got enough pruning to help them survive. Annoyingly all the ones that had the least and the most issues with blight were somehow unlabeled - I assume the children of my round hybrid because I didn't grow any other round ones except the Monfavet hybrid. My 2 hybrids are Monfavet (big round) and Harzglut (small round). Both have actually really good flavour - IF they ripen almost totally on the vine. Else not impressive. Don't have the "meaty" taste of the heirlooms. I'm 54N with frost dates mid April and late September (though we usually make it to mid October) I grew: Galina. Yellow cherry. Superb flavour. Seems a bit vulnerable to disease at it gets old, but survives. Black Prince. Dark greeny red round medium sized. Good when ripe. Really resistant. Azoyschka. Big yellow beefsteak. Some don't breed true, I have one plant where they are smaller and round and some develop red blushing. Great flavour when ripe. Like a red tomato though, not sweet like other yellow ones. Can want to grow INSANE amounts of side shoots which really really slows fruit production. Black Zebra. Pretty green and red striped medium sized round tomato. Flavour not impressive. Tend to a bit of blossom end rot. Alaska. Bush determinate. Small red round. Late to get going! Banana Orange. Orange plum tomato. Weakest seedlings and not great Vs blight. Lost one greenhouse plant early on. Nice flavour. Ukrainian Purple (used to be called Purple Russian, but since the war...). Dark green/purply red plum. Stay greenish inside. Really nice. One got blight outside. In greenhouse unproblematic. "Eiszäpfchen"(this has another eastern name that starts with S that I forget).. INSANELY productive yellow plum. Literally multiple kilos of fruit per truss, like 20-30 tomatoes. Nice flavour when ripe. "Italian winter tomato" seem to have 2 kinds. Probably a Nipple of Venus. They can get rot in the points. You can harvest entire trusses green at the end of the year and eat them ripe at Xmas. Nice thick crunchy skin. "Own Oxheart" mine now mainly grow as kind of fat sort of conical plums, and don't do the heart thing which is like 2 smashed together. Paste like inside. Everyone's favourite (only one friend likes the Ukrainian Purple better). Can get blossom end rot if over watered and can be dry if underwatered. Some vulnerable to blight a bit bit survive with pruning. "Own cherry" mini to normal cherry. Very sweet. Forget the original variety. Probably a hybrid given the variability. I have observed that early morning sun seems more important than evening Vs the blight. I guess they dry out sooner. I read it takes 48 hrs of over 90% humidity at over 10C and then it's almost certain to come. In Europe it does not survive in soil, that's a myth. In the US I think some kinds can form oocytes and thus CAN survive I hate feral potatoes! All my issues come near to where they pop up!

    When you harvest, make sure not to cut the new tiller that’s starting to grow because you may have enough season left to get a second harvest from the same stem. If you’re growing syrup sorghum, then you can harvest the cane after the second harvest at the end of the season. The sorghum doesn’t have to start an extra tiller for you to know it’s ripe. That’s just an extra confirmation if it happens. If you have any questions, be sure to leave a comment. Also check out our playlist on sorghum - we have a number of videos. Finally, i’m sorry I haven’t put out a full video this week. It’s just been too busy with the harvest and preserving the harvest, and also presentations and workshops we’ve been giving, plus a couple of educational TV channels have been filming with us over the last few weeks as well.

    Thanks for the wonderful and inspiring tour. I planted 5 grafted paw paws over the last 2-3 years in the partial shade of some taller shrubs. Last year they flowered and I hand pollinated them. One flower set fruit (5 or 6 on one flower), but unfortunately they all fell off. I’m assuming the plant wasn’t mature enough to carry them just yet. I’ve heard you need to graft in order to get edible fruit. Is that another misconception that beginner gardeners have?

    • @WillowsGreenPermaculture
      @WillowsGreenPermaculture 12 дней назад

      That’s wonderful that you already have flower and fruit setting! Yes, it’s normal for first fruit sets to fall. And yes, it’s definitely a misconception about non-grafted pawpaws. All of my pawpaws are wild and grown from seed, even the first five I bought. It never ceases to amaze me when I read about food that should be ‘discarded’ because it is ‘inedible’ - most often due to size or aesthetics, or number of seeds. That’s the modern industrial agriculture mindset. I’ve only ever eaten wild pawpaws. They’re amazingly delicious. And yes they have lots of seeds. And that’s why I have so many trees, because I kept every seed from every wild pawpaw I managed to get my hands on (not easy here in Eastern Ontario) and planted them all, and they all grew! I have never tasted non wild cultivars, so I can’t compare flavour, but I’m sure they’re amazing too! All the best with your pawpaws!

      @@RocketPipeTV thank you very much! 😊 All the best with your permaculture. By the way, now understand why you might need grafted pawpaws. It’s because you’re in Switzerland. Pawpaws are native to North America. Maybe they can’t grow from seed there. I’d have to look it up. It’s like, we have certain fruit trees and grapes that are grafted here, because otherwise they wouldn’t grow, but we grow wild one too.

    I think flowering quince is a shrub called Chaenomeles. Its not the same as a quince tree of which there are different varieties (mi e is Vranja) and not so flavourful. It Britain quince was called the 'fruit of kings' because it was so delicious.

    • @WillowsGreenPermaculture
      @WillowsGreenPermaculture 14 дней назад

      The one I have is hardy to zone 5a and is called Flowering Quince. As you could see, the fruit looked very different from commercial quince - it was very smooth and vibrant yellow. Not fuzzy and knarly like a commercial quince. The skin was thin and edible. The fruit very tart but sweet at the same time. The resulting paste was better than any quince paste I have ever tasted however. So this flowering quince was a winner. The flowers are very showy too! And yes, definitely a shrub, not a tree.

    I love quince, I used to make quince jelly regularly from quinces given to me by friends, alas I have moved now and yet to find a source. I must get my own tree now. How do store the cheese, is it just in a jar?

    • @WillowsGreenPermaculture
      @WillowsGreenPermaculture 14 дней назад

      For now it’s on a shallow plate (it’s really in the form of a cheese), wrapped in parchment, in the fridge. I also have a piece wrapped up on the kitchen table, European style, experimenting with that. It’s not going to take me long to eat it. I’m going to look up it’s shelf life. I must say though, just a little fills me up. It’s dense with nutrition.

    This is what’s worked easiest for me as well, I place mine in a small paper sack with the bag folded and clipped just at the top and the bag blown out as full as possible. I garden with intuitive symbiosis with the plants and after harvesting the seeds year after year I’ve come to realize they do much better when you let them sit in the flesh for a few days just as you suggest. Great information, y’all are fantastic. Thank you so much my friend!

      Thank you! Ours is also called flowering quince. As you saw in the video, the fruit looks a little smaller than regular quince. But it worked perfectly and was delicious. If yours has fruit, you can use it There’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to. The food industry will often not consider something food simply due to inconvenient size or shape and declare it ornamental.
