Quarantine doesn’t bother me a bit. I have been farming, gardening, and working by myself all my life. Y’all bout the only thing I watch all week. Me, my wife and youngest son got plenty too do without worrying about something we can’t do anything about.
PREACH!😃 cause I'm listening..someone said if you can't entertain yourself alone then you won't be any good around others especially with a partner... It's called a needy person who nobody wants to be around.
Wait father and son I remember a video say you were related but down the line....something about some running out on someone...its cool if you are just confused by what you said before??...great show though keep your heads high with all that going on
This is a comment from a year later; it is too bad the son had to leave and not only that but left the organization completely, not promoting Hoss Tools any longer and never mentioning his dad or mom. I have no idea what went wrong but my wife and I have the same experience and it hurts to the core. Hope all works out eventually. God bless all of them.
I think it's important for new gardeners to expect failures in the first year. Everyone experiences them, even in their 10th year. Now, the issue is going to be pressure. I grew up in the garden, and but I still feel more pressure to have success, and put up enough, in a way I've never felt pressure before, as I'm sure many gardeners are feeling.
@@gardeningwithhoss Y'all have me with one of the best-looking gardens I have ever had...not that I grew alot..lol...but as the ole saying goes,"I feel a change in the winds"
I was just trying to figure out the measurements for the Micro-Boost today & was really wishing y’all had a simple color chart for it, instead me dealing with those numbers 😁 Roll Tide
Keep eatinn' Gent's, I like the food reviews. I ordered some seed and netting at 9am and by 3pm it had shipped, unbelievable. Keep up the best gardening show on RUclips. Pay no mind to them non-mathmatical Bama folk's.
If I'm going to have a better garden in my second year than in my first, my second year garden should be amazing! I've learned a lot from you two and a few other RUclipsrs. I've always loved outdoor activities but never bothered with a vegetable garden before. It's been immensely satisfying and also great therapy and exercise. Thanks for all that you do. Your show is educational AND entertaining! 👍🏽
Great show as usual. Lots of good info. I, like many others got a good chuckle out the onion scene ha! However, I almost spit my drink out when it came to the Bama apology! Travis apologizes, Greg says how good of a football program they have, and without skipping a beat Travis chimes back in with, "ya but not a good math program"!!!! All within seconds of each other. TOO Funny!
Thanks Greg and Travis. You have made our gardening easier and more productive. Enjoying the plows, attachments, drip tape, seeds, and other tools. Top notch, hands in the dirt folks,. If you are on the fence, you cannot go wrong with their products and advice.
Hey Greg and Travis, this is Patrick from Spring, TX. Love the show and thanks for all the gardening advice and products you sell. Most of all thanks for making a show my family and I can all watch together. Wonderful products, fantastic prices and outstanding service. Well, that's what Hoss Tools means to me.
Love your show. I’m in zone 10b In Southwest Florida. I’m new to gardening; I have three small raised beds and multiple smart bags. I have my crops started and they are coming along well. Thank you for tutorials as I learn how to get better at gardening.
I enjoyed hearing about the rivalry between Alabama and Georgia. I grew up near Columbia South Carolina and we have the big Clemson / Carolina rivalry here. My dad had all kinds of jokes.
Oh, I thought you all favored and was going to ask if you all were related, but didn't want to be impertinent(surnames). But anyhow this id Great info for beginners and a good review for folks reentering the gardening arena. Thank you for all the pro tips and knowledge you all offer week by week, It is appreciated!
Excellent show, guys! And y'all are sure right about new gardeners. I've been helping a couple of people get a garden started, and Lord have mercy! It's so hard to have to tell someone that they have to wait before they plant things down here. It's fixin' to get really hot here in Florida, and it's too late to plant a lot of things here. Spinach, lettuce cabbages, etc, are just about done here. You might can plant them in the Fall and pray we don't get a really cold November/December, but Spring veggies just ain't happening now. We might be able to get one more round of bush beans, or rattlesnake pole beans might make, but its not too likely if they're not in the ground already. Folks got to think about what can take the heat, and that's the hardest thing I had to learn when I first started gardening here. As for getting a lot of food out of a small garden, once someone learns when to plant what, they can grow a LOT of good food. I'm living proof of that. You folks have helped me to maximize my yields dramatically! God willin', this year is going to be even better! Now, for the tomatoes. Have you guys taken a look at the Tachi tomato plants? Mine, so far, are seriously out performing my Brickyards and Bella Rosas. I'm keeping track and will let y'all know how they do.
I've told many people that what I grow is seasonal, and just because you see it in the store doesnt mean it can grow here, in Florida. Many have asked about my spinach, told them to come back and ask again in October November and they give me a confused look. It turns into a learning experience. But like they said each year you learn something and you get better
Mentoring is the best way to learn to garden. I'm old and have been gardening all my life. I learned from my grandmother and mother. Now I'm teaching/mentoring my 10 yr granddaughter to garden. It's a skill set that important to pass down to later generations. New gardeners would benefit from a mentor or mentoring program.
Great show guys! Travis I cracked up that moment your dad pulled up is onion while you were still mid-sentence. Like he was saying, "Lemme show ya something son" 🤣. I think what you and your dad share is awesome! My brother and I worked with our dad in our family business for the last 18 years (he retired end of 2019). It's not always great days, but all the days are always worth it when your with family. God bless yall. #100hearwecome
Good video Hoss Tools! My garden used to be about that size but this year but, I'm making it bigger this year (that was my plan before this pandemic) and I amended the soil of the new part as well and tarped it off to kill the grass and other weeds. I have your channel featured on mine so that other people can learn the super valuable information that I get off this channel. I started gardening about 4 years ago now and from watching your channel and other channels and just through trial and error.
Good show. I had to retire July 2018 long cancer doing good know.last year first time in 19 years being home to plant an work a garden.over the road truck driver .Georgia drivers can’t drive ( Atlanta).Garden last year was 40 feet by 90 feet worked it with a hole this year I have a hoss high arch used it first time to day to open up ferrous for fertilizer I like it work’s good I may have to uses a hole a little. Thanks Garry Thornton this my dotters yahoo.
I know y’all love Alabama, I love y’all too!!! I get all my seeds from y’all good ole county boys!!! I’m heading to hit the hay and will finish watching tomorrow. Love you guys!!😊🌻🌈 Sherri
So true it is a skill you have to continually practice and work on especially in areas like ours where we have had stranger weather and new pests to deal with.
Great video and super important! I'm glad you guys always remember to speak to new gardeners as well as experienced ones (I'm somewhere in the middle). For the 20x20 garden plan, I'd take out half the row of squash replace it with kale & collards!
My buddy's ordered some of your fertilizer got it fast. I would plant bean cucumbers tomatoes onion potatoes squash peppers. You can come to my backyard lol. Thanks for all the great information. I love my garden and love gardening
You have a brand new sub here . Marine Corps Veteran and leather working Deplorable here in Rome New York ( Upstate not NYC ) I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL GENTLEMEN!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !! SEMPER FI🇺🇸
G'day Greg & Travis Ash here from Queensland Australia. Great show as usual. I just verbally Googled " brickyard tomatoes " and Google started to say According to Hoss Tools __________. I thought it was great that Google referred to you guys first. Stay Safe. Cheers Ash
I have two 5x10 raised beds and two 20 gallon buckets between them. I have tomatoes, squash, cucumber, watermelons started from seeds indoors. I plan to plant okra seeds also. You can plant a variety of crops in a small area as long as you know how wide the plant spreads. I stuffed my garden a few years ago and could not get in the bed. So now I have more varieties and less quantities. 1 or 2 plants of each variety.
I just got some dwarf mulberry trees this year! Great info about early blooming and usage. I cant wait to try some in a few years. You guys make awesome content, keep it growing! Blessed be
Dont forget that you can use welded wire fence around your garden and grow alot of beans up that as well. We have welded wire around most of our 22x26 gardening area and we use that wire space to grow our beans up and leave the middle for the rest of what we love.
@@gardeningwithhoss i sent yall a email but im not to sure it went thru but figured id ask here just in case it didnt. How would you guys practice crop rotation in smaller gardening plots like this? I know in a video i seen yall made bout okra you said its key to rotate them so within 3 years they aint in the same spot and that helps prevent root knot damage.
Just don't plant the same crop in the same row every year. That's the best you dan do. You might even consider growing something like okra every other year. Grow a bunch one year, preserve it so you'll have it.
@@gardeningwithhoss ok cool. I didnt know if it still being in the same soil would effect it even if itd be in a different row. I get root knots pretty bad so ill try that idea to grow it every other year out and see if thatll help make a difference. Doesnt hurt to try i guess. Thanks
This is my first time to use y’all’s seeds or even start seeds myself.....so I planted extra seeds thinking “if I get at least 1 to start I’ll be happy”!!! Again, nothing against y’all....I’m just new to all this. Welp.....they ALL came up 😳🙌🏻🙌🏻!!!! I had starts for days but I was able to bless many of my friends with little starter plants so it all worked out! Y’all are awesome!!! ❤️❤️
I agree with the yellow pear and Amish paste, but I love me an Abe Lincoln tomato for slicing. I think it is absolutely wonderful to see so much fresh interest in gardening. That is one of the positives that I am going to remember about 2020.
I live in Arizona and Bermuda grass is everywhere when I want to get rid of it I plowed the ground once I cover it with black plastic and try to keep it from getting any water if you're in Arizona you want to do it before the monsoon I haven't had any grass growing for for 10 yrs. Good choices for a small garden.
To kill crabgrass I solarize my beds every 4 - 5 years. 12' x 50' painter's plastic is $12 at Lowes. I weigh down the edges of the plastic, leave in place for 30 days. It kills plant roots and weed seeds. I usually don't have a weed problem for 2 - 4 years.
Had a dadgum frost last night in Louisiana! Didn't kill off anything but my lettuce for tacos tonight is dusted with bronze. Really touched a number of my tan cheese pumpkin and blue lake bush bean leaves in my raised bed section though.
Planting my first garden in 10 years. Spaghetti sauce is my goal, with a few squash. Still got room for a vertical crop, probably okra..but I'm allergic to legumes so... yeah looking at quail cages too.
Very good advice for beginners, today's new gardeners are at an advantage with RUclips channels such as yours. Since 1977 , I took advantage of purchasing different garden books for my garden library . PBS tv ran one of the first garden shows every week called "Crockett's Victory Garden, " followed by the book by the same name. One of the best gardening books for anyone is still "Joy of Gardening" by Dick Raymond, which came out in 1982 and is still around for sale used. Vidalia onions have yet to appear up here in N.H. Good natured rumor up here is....Georgia is the Vidalia Capitol ! Thanks for the video.....
YES!! the neighbors mulberry tree threw me for a loop. right beside my driveway and it stopped me one day. I can see Travis's face, probably looked like mine. I was in my late 40's and had never seen blackberries on a tree. LOL
Iv grew up around gardening but never tackled it my self, it’s coming to me a pretty good I feel like I should master it just got done tying my tomato plants for the second time and flowers are all over them and my squash and my cherries
Great show y'all and great advice for the beginner and seasoned gardner. My Cousan's in Alabama cant watch the ball games in the same room lol. Hope the rain goes a little south of y'all. we finally got some rain in north Florida this week.Y'all have a great week
I keep seeing new gardeners excited about planting using the 3 sisters. Year after year. They have no idea it is dried beans and maize, not green beans and sweet corn. Doomed to fail.
We see that all the time too. RUclipsrs constantly talk about the 3 sisters method, which is doomed to fail as you mentioned. Don't try to put a mix of crop families in the same row.
Have to say, as an LSU fan, I can agree with you guys! Thanks. Been gardening in raised beds and wanting to move a larger area, the tools will make it easier. Learning from you guys, as well as a cajun can. BTW, at least one child finished at LSU then went on the UGA for her masters................so, we are "multiSEC" in our home.
Glad your channel was in my recommends list, recently. This and some other episodes (have plenty to view still) inspired, educated, and entertained me. With 35+ years experience of home gardening in northeast KS, it seems we're learning more each year. My husband's early life at various farm work, my Kansas State University extension courses, excellent local suppliers, and sweat equity help our veggies, fruit trees, grape arbor, herbs, and ornamentals stay productive. We'd plant your 20X20 as you illustrate. But, cantaloupe and watermelon MUST be squeezed in there!!
If you are new to the show I strongly recommend Row by Row. It is packed full of gardening knowledge for the beginner gardner and the old school alike.
Dang ! You pulled those thoughts straight out of my head. I not only firmly believe that Everybody has a Super Power at something, but has spoke about it for many years ! Unfortunately some people, for what ever reason, never seems to find what that is. I, like you, found out early that I had the ability to repair almost anything if given enough time and materials. Don't like Tooting my own horn because of the my previous statement, but I did work for a Fortune 500 company that did not hire anyone who wasn't good at their job, enough said. THOSE ONIONS are BOSS. Don't know what it is but Georgia makes some Darn Fine Onions, pretty sure those growing them has a lot to do with it.
I have a 12’ x 33’ garden, I have 3 rows of potatoes, 2 rows of beets, 3 rows of English peas, 4 squash, 4 zucchini, 16 tomatoes, onions Planted with tomatoes, with marigolds.... one row Brussels sprouts, one row kale, one row mustard greens, one row of spinach, one row cabbage, one row sweet peppers, 2 rows snap beens and 2 row of wax beens. in pots on the outside of the garden, basle, mint, dill,
there is some crops in there that will mature quicker than others. like my English peas are planted in between the rows of the potatoes because i know the peas will come off before the potatoes are really going to blossom. so yes it is packed to the brim lol
one thing i believe you should have mentioned to new gardeners is please check your Frost dates, some northerner cant plant any of those mentioned on what you would plant if you had to plant now on a 20x20. may have some people throw that in and get a frost and not be to happy not realize what has happend .
great show fellas! You will be gaining a larger share of my gardening $ as johnnys select seed have had my money for months and have yet to send me my seed potatos and dont have a firm date in sight. seems they dont care for the small gardener.
Thank you for this segment with tips for the beginner home gardener. My question is does planting marigold's, around your veggies keep pests away? If so where should they be planted in with your small veggie garden? My garden is 21 1/2 x 18 this the length on both sides. Also if you could explain the impoas well as define some important key components of gardening. Such as Cultivation, Irrigation, and Tilling. 💜⚜️
Some say that marigolds can help keep pests away from vegetables by repelling nematodes and Mexican bean beetles. Marigolds emit a strong fragrance that can deter many pests, including aphids, nematodes, and tomato hornworms. You can plant marigolds around the perimeter of your garden or interplant them among your vegetables. When choosing marigolds for pest control, it's important to get a strong-scented variety. French marigolds are the most effective for pest control
Man the show is awesome! We just pull that crabgrass and throw it in the burn barrel and it's a darn headache. I've seen Bermuda growing out of asphalt 🤯
We each have crops for which we excel. It works well that way. Greg does better with more of the staple crops, while I tend to do better with things like carrots, beets, leeks, lettuce and some of the more speciality things.
🌹Enjoyed watching y’all, found your channel by way of Deep South Homestead. A bit of history about Crabgrass can be found on “eattheweeds.com” search “when crabgrass was king“... and I have to say I wish I had more of it. Look forward to catching up on your previous posts while the stay at home orders are in place. 😄Longest staycation ever! 🙏🏼🌹
Travis I am not a Alabama native, I was born and raised in north Florida , but have been living in southeast Alabama since 2001. You can knock the Tide and the War Eagles all you want because I'm a Gator fan. Yeah I know you guys don't care much for the Gators either lol. Is it to late to plant my sweet corn? We've always planted it in March, but I had to wait for space.
I have been told that if you fertilize the same plot of land continuously (like you would during a garden season) it will "breakdown" the soil and will cause future plants to not do so well. Have you heard of this? If so, what are your thoughts?
There can be some consequences of using too much synthetic fertilizer as it creates a high "salt" content in the soils. That's why we like to use compost as well as the fish emulsion so that we don't rely on the inorganic stuff completely.
I know gardening is something were everyone has their way of doing things, curious to see what both of your opinions are on best planting/care for tomatoes and what you each do differently (if anything). I remember in one video you said your dad does better with his tomatoes, so I was curious. Thanks!
I’ve been gardening for fifty years and I love it to pieces. But this next year I will plant a veg garden for the first time. My biggest pest in the garden is grasshoppers! I don’t want to kill beneficial insects but I know they are difficult to control even with insecticides! Please give me your best solution!!? I loved the part about mulberries! When I was very young I was always excited to eat mulberries when they arrived!!
Grasshoppers, like any flying insect, are easy to kill in the larval or nymph stage, but almost impossible to kill as adults. You just have to start spraying early (I'd recommend a rotation of pyrethrin and spinosad) and often (at least once a week). Focus on stopping the adults from producing any more adults. Complete eradication is not realistic.
Howdy gents! New sub here, been getting a small garden bed going since last summer with cardboard, wood chips, chicken litter, alfalfa pellets & then brought in a screened topsoil, aged bark mix. Had to start small due to physical issues but have grow bags & large containers too. Keep posting, Ima needing the help! I'm north of you in Dawsonville
FELLAS, great show. Was catching up on my row by rows and turns out that the way y’all laid the small plots out is pretty much the same way I have my 15x40 laid out. For the last 12 years I’ve mainly grown by Aquaponics and Hydroponics. However, this year I’m strictly in the dirt due to working out of town in Virginia by way of South Mississippi. I rented myself a community garden play and making a go of it. Planted my pole beans (rattlesnake and blue lake) and also Peter Pan and Patty pan squash. Beans popped but no squash. They (squash) weren’t from y’all, shame on me. So I ordered some Gold Star, Pascola Zucchini and Spineless Zucchini from y’all to replace the pan squash. I’m also ordering the South Anna Butternut today. The tomatoes I ordered from y’all are Summer Pick, Hybrid Roma and Red Snapper. Being up here in Virginia I decided to wait on my maters and I’m glad I did because of this cold snap. I think this summer is gonna be mild and I’ll have maters well into summer. Thanks for all you fellas and your team does. I’m a huge fan and can’t wait to have my own dirt garden of my own back home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I’m still always gonna have my Aquaponics and Hydroponic systems though lol. Thx y’all.
You might get a little chuckle out of this what I'm about to say you were the first garden show that you were going to plant okra and I didn't know what okra was I don't know what it taste like how to cook it whatever you do to it I don't know I'm originally from Pennsylvania Southeast near Philadelphia you can laugh now great show as always
Quarantine doesn’t bother me a bit. I have been farming, gardening, and working by myself all my life. Y’all bout the only thing I watch all week. Me, my wife and youngest son got plenty too do without worrying about something we can’t do anything about.

Row by Row garden show. Longest running father and son gardening show on the internet. But most importantly the best gardening show there is period.
They are father and son? I did not realize that.
Nope I don't think they are father and son.
We certainly are. 20 years and 20 days apart.
Wait father and son I remember a video say you were related but down the line....something about some running out on someone...its cool if you are just confused by what you said before??...great show though keep your heads high with all that going on
I agree these fella's are great.
Until now I actually thought they were brothers
I 💕 Mama Hoss, but there's something special about y'all two together. Blessed to have the opportunity to be the #1 Father-Son gardening show!
The funniest father son onion competition conversation starts at 19:38, it’s hilarious 😂 I wish my onions grew as big as what they called small.
Always fun to have a little competitive onion growing.
This is a comment from a year later; it is too bad the son had to leave and not only that but left the organization completely, not promoting Hoss Tools any longer and never mentioning his dad or mom.

Gotta get off that couch and do something!
Gardening = mental health!
I love the father and son relationship.. I bought my seeds today waiting to put them in the garden.
Let us know how they do for you! Thanks for your order.
I was just trying to figure out the measurements for the Micro-Boost today & was really wishing y’all had a simple color chart for it, instead me dealing with those numbers 😁 Roll Tide
If you're hand watering, put a tablespoon per gallon of water. If you're using the injector, put a couple cups in the tank. Go Dawgs!
Maybe they could sell a matching set of colored spoons to go with the chart. 😂
@@BigFamilyRescue Yes....the Alabama Measuring Spoon set....endorsed by Peaches

You two aren't competitive at all, right! Hahaha - you're banter about who has the biggest onions is hilarious! 😲

I know y’all love Alabama, I love y’all too!!! I get all my seeds from y’all good ole county boys!!! I’m heading to hit the hay and will finish watching tomorrow. Love you guys!!😊🌻🌈 Sherri
We appreciate the business, Sherri! Glad you enjoy the shows.
So true it is a skill you have to continually practice and work on especially in areas like ours where we have had stranger weather and new pests to deal with.
Always something to learn when it comes to gardening.
If you decide to go with the template for new gardeners idea, remember those us who are disabled or in apartments and can only do container gardening.
👍
Great video and super important! I'm glad you guys always remember to speak to new gardeners as well as experienced ones (I'm somewhere in the middle). For the 20x20 garden plan, I'd take out half the row of squash replace it with kale & collards!
Not a bad idea at all! Thanks for watching.
My buddy's ordered some of your fertilizer got it fast. I would plant bean cucumbers tomatoes onion potatoes squash peppers. You can come to my backyard lol. Thanks for all the great information. I love my garden and love gardening
Thanks Susette!
You have a brand new sub here . Marine Corps Veteran and leather working Deplorable here in Rome New York ( Upstate not NYC ) I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL GENTLEMEN!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !! SEMPER FI🇺🇸
Welcome to the channel and thanks for your service!
G'day Greg & Travis
Ash here from Queensland Australia. Great show as usual. I just verbally Googled " brickyard tomatoes " and Google started to say According to Hoss Tools __________. I thought it was great that Google referred to you guys first. Stay Safe. Cheers Ash
Glad Google pointed you in the right direction!
I have two 5x10 raised beds and two 20 gallon buckets between them. I have tomatoes, squash, cucumber, watermelons started from seeds indoors. I plan to plant okra seeds also. You can plant a variety of crops in a small area as long as you know how wide the plant spreads. I stuffed my garden a few years ago and could not get in the bed. So now I have more varieties and less quantities. 1 or 2 plants of each variety.
Yeah if you plant too much, there's nowhere to walk for harvesting.
God Bless you guys. Stay well and safe!
God bless you and your family as well!
Love the channel ! Most informative garden channel out there! Appreciate what y’all do! Keep it coming!
We appreciate having you as a viewer Johnny!
I just got some dwarf mulberry trees this year! Great info about early blooming and usage. I cant wait to try some in a few years. You guys make awesome content, keep it growing! Blessed be
Mulberries are great. Always the first fruit of the year for us!
Dont forget that you can use welded wire fence around your garden and grow alot of beans up that as well. We have welded wire around most of our 22x26 gardening area and we use that wire space to grow our beans up and leave the middle for the rest of what we love.
👍
@@gardeningwithhoss i sent yall a email but im not to sure it went thru but figured id ask here just in case it didnt. How would you guys practice crop rotation in smaller gardening plots like this? I know in a video i seen yall made bout okra you said its key to rotate them so within 3 years they aint in the same spot and that helps prevent root knot damage.
Just don't plant the same crop in the same row every year. That's the best you dan do. You might even consider growing something like okra every other year. Grow a bunch one year, preserve it so you'll have it.
@@gardeningwithhoss ok cool. I didnt know if it still being in the same soil would effect it even if itd be in a different row. I get root knots pretty bad so ill try that idea to grow it every other year out and see if thatll help make a difference. Doesnt hurt to try i guess. Thanks
21:14 it was at this moment where I knew Greg was gonna rub it in😂😂
Knew it was coming!
This is my first time to use y’all’s seeds or even start seeds myself.....so I planted extra seeds thinking “if I get at least 1 to start I’ll be happy”!!! Again, nothing against y’all....I’m just new to all this. Welp.....they ALL came up 😳🙌🏻🙌🏻!!!! I had starts for days but I was able to bless many of my friends with little starter plants so it all worked out! Y’all are awesome!!! ❤️❤️
Glad you were able to share! Thanks for giving us a shot!
Glad you were able to share! Thanks for giving us a shot!
I agree with the yellow pear and Amish paste, but I love me an Abe Lincoln tomato for slicing. I think it is absolutely wonderful to see so much fresh interest in gardening. That is one of the positives that I am going to remember about 2020.
Gotta make lemonade from lemons!
I’m growing tomatoes, squash, peppers, plenty of bells, eggplants, and a hole plot of okra and a whole plot of potatoes, some lettuce and strawberry’s
Sounds like a great mix!
I love the sample garden idea per garden size. So many probably struggle just trying to figure out what to plant. Janice
Glad we could help!
Mulberry jam yum 😋
Thanks Greg and Travis 👍👍
👍 👍 👍
I could not agree more with pretty much everything you fellas had to say today!
👍
I live in Arizona and Bermuda grass is everywhere when I want to get rid of it I plowed the ground once I cover it with black plastic and try to keep it from getting any water if you're in Arizona you want to do it before the monsoon I haven't had any grass growing for for 10 yrs. Good choices for a small garden.
Good to hear you're winning the battle!
To kill crabgrass I solarize my beds every 4 - 5 years. 12' x 50' painter's plastic is $12 at Lowes. I weigh down the edges of the plastic, leave in place for 30 days. It kills plant roots and weed seeds. I usually don't have a weed problem for 2 - 4 years.
That's a good way to do it. You can even pull back the tarp and till the area mid-tarping to further reduce the weed seed bank.
Had a dadgum frost last night in Louisiana! Didn't kill off anything but my lettuce for tacos tonight is dusted with bronze. Really touched a number of my tan cheese pumpkin and blue lake bush bean leaves in my raised bed section though.
That stinks, but glad the damage was minimal.
Planting my first garden in 10 years. Spaghetti sauce is my goal, with a few squash. Still got room for a vertical crop, probably okra..but I'm allergic to legumes so... yeah looking at quail cages too.
That's awesome that you're gardening again! Blessings for a bountiful harvest!
Very good advice for beginners, today's new gardeners are at an advantage with RUclips channels such as yours. Since 1977 , I took advantage of purchasing different garden books for my garden library . PBS tv ran one of the first garden shows every week called "Crockett's Victory Garden, " followed by the book by the same name. One of the best gardening books for anyone is still "Joy of Gardening" by Dick Raymond, which came out in 1982 and is still around for sale used. Vidalia onions have yet to appear up here in N.H. Good natured rumor up here is....Georgia is the Vidalia Capitol ! Thanks for the video.....
Vidalia, GA is not too far from us. Technically, it's not a Vidalia onion unless it's grown in Vidalia, GA.
YES!! the neighbors mulberry tree threw me for a loop. right beside my driveway and it stopped me one day. I can see Travis's face, probably looked like mine. I was in my late 40's and had never seen blackberries on a tree. LOL
Not many folks around here have them in their yards. So when we moved to our current homestead, I had no idea what it was.
Love the show!!
Glad you love it, Cordovan Bee!
You guys rock, thank y’all
You rock!
Iv grew up around gardening but never tackled it my self, it’s coming to me a pretty good I feel like I should master it just got done tying my tomato plants for the second time and flowers are all over them and my squash and my cherries
Sounds like you're well on your way!
Great show y'all and great advice for the beginner and seasoned gardner. My Cousan's in Alabama cant watch the ball games in the same room lol. Hope the rain goes a little south of y'all. we finally got some rain in north Florida this week.Y'all have a great week
We've got friends that won't come over and watch if certain teams are playing. They have to watch by themselves because they can't behave.
I keep seeing new gardeners excited about planting using the 3 sisters. Year after year. They have no idea it is dried beans and maize, not green beans and sweet corn. Doomed to fail.
We see that all the time too. RUclipsrs constantly talk about the 3 sisters method, which is doomed to fail as you mentioned. Don't try to put a mix of crop families in the same row.
I did not know this. Thanks for the heads up.
Thank you for all the great information!
Our pleasure Barbara!
Have to say, as an LSU fan, I can agree with you guys! Thanks. Been gardening in raised beds and wanting to move a larger area, the tools will make it easier. Learning from you guys, as well as a cajun can. BTW, at least one child finished at LSU then went on the UGA for her masters................so, we are "multiSEC" in our home.
Smart child!
I planted a dozen mulberry trees this year. White, black, Pakistani.
Wow! You should have plenty of birds and mulberries!
Glad your channel was in my recommends list, recently. This and some other episodes (have plenty to view still) inspired, educated, and entertained me. With 35+ years experience of home gardening in northeast KS, it seems we're learning more each year. My husband's early life at various farm work, my Kansas State University extension courses, excellent local suppliers, and sweat equity help our veggies, fruit trees, grape arbor, herbs, and ornamentals stay productive. We'd plant your 20X20 as you illustrate. But, cantaloupe and watermelon MUST be squeezed in there!!
Glad you found us! Yes, watermelon is an "essential" crop for us as well!
If you are new to the show I strongly recommend Row by Row. It is packed full of gardening knowledge for the beginner gardner and the old school alike.
Thanks for the recommendation!
I usually inter-plant peppers or sweet potatoes under the okra.
Not a bad idea, as long as you have some walking space to harvest the okra.
Dang ! You pulled those thoughts straight out of my head. I not only firmly believe that Everybody has a Super Power at something, but has spoke about it for many years ! Unfortunately some people, for what ever reason, never seems to find what that is. I, like you, found out early that I had the ability to repair almost anything if given enough time and materials. Don't like Tooting my own horn because of the my previous statement, but I did work for a Fortune 500 company that did not hire anyone who wasn't good at their job, enough said. THOSE ONIONS are BOSS. Don't know what it is but Georgia makes some Darn Fine Onions, pretty sure those growing them has a lot to do with it.
We've got a good onion growing climate down here!
I have a 12’ x 33’ garden, I have 3 rows of potatoes, 2 rows of beets, 3 rows of English peas, 4 squash, 4 zucchini, 16 tomatoes, onions Planted with tomatoes, with marigolds.... one row Brussels sprouts, one row kale, one row mustard greens, one row of spinach, one row cabbage, one row sweet peppers, 2 rows snap beens and 2 row of wax beens. in pots on the outside of the garden, basle, mint, dill,
Sounds like you've got it packed to the brim!
there is some crops in there that will mature quicker than others. like my English peas are planted in between the rows of the potatoes because i know the peas will come off before the potatoes are really going to blossom. so yes it is packed to the brim lol
👍
My cousins live in Georgia.
Greg you had ole Travis a little red in the face talking bout his small onions!😂
😂
Last year was my first year. We had a great first year. This year we lost almost everything to too much rain
Sorry to hear that
one thing i believe you should have mentioned to new gardeners is please check your Frost dates, some northerner cant plant any of those mentioned on what you would plant if you had to plant now on a 20x20. may have some people throw that in and get a frost and not be to happy not realize what has happend .
Very true!
great show fellas! You will be gaining a larger share of my gardening $ as johnnys select seed have had my money for months and have yet to send me my seed potatos and dont have a firm date in sight. seems they dont care for the small gardener.
We're glad to have you Jeff!
Why would any ( I say anyone) give a thumbs down on this channel. I would like to meet one of these fools!!
There's one in every crowd.
Thank you for this segment with tips for the beginner home gardener. My question is does planting marigold's, around your veggies keep pests away? If so where should they be planted in with your small veggie garden? My garden is 21 1/2 x 18 this the length on both sides. Also if you could explain the impoas well as define some important key components of gardening. Such as Cultivation, Irrigation, and Tilling. 💜⚜️
Some say that marigolds can help keep pests away from vegetables by repelling nematodes and Mexican bean beetles. Marigolds emit a strong fragrance that can deter many pests, including aphids, nematodes, and tomato hornworms. You can plant marigolds around the perimeter of your garden or interplant them among your vegetables. When choosing marigolds for pest control, it's important to get a strong-scented variety. French marigolds are the most effective for pest control
Great show guys
Thank you!
Love your channel.
😊
So funny I must be a bird cause I practicaly grew up in a mulberry tree I just love them.👍
Well last year was first garden in fifteen years it did great I don’t know if this year will as good but hopefully it will .
We hope it is a great one!
Peas, green beans, maters, cucumbers, catnip
Man the show is awesome! We just pull that crabgrass and throw it in the burn barrel and it's a darn headache. I've seen Bermuda growing out of asphalt 🤯
Have seen that as well. Tough as nails.
You can grow squash and zucchini on one side of a trellis and cukes on the other.
Yes you could.
Once again dad out did son. Learn that boy.
We each have crops for which we excel. It works well that way. Greg does better with more of the staple crops, while I tend to do better with things like carrots, beets, leeks, lettuce and some of the more speciality things.
🌹Enjoyed watching y’all, found your channel by way of Deep South Homestead. A bit of history about Crabgrass can be found on “eattheweeds.com” search “when crabgrass was king“... and I have to say I wish I had more of it. Look forward to catching up on your previous posts while the stay at home orders are in place. 😄Longest staycation ever! 🙏🏼🌹
Glad you found us!
Another great show. Thanks
Thanks Bruce!
Travis I am not a Alabama native, I was born and raised in north Florida , but have been living in southeast Alabama since 2001. You can knock the Tide and the War Eagles all you want because I'm a Gator fan. Yeah I know you guys don't care much for the Gators either lol.
Is it to late to plant my sweet corn? We've always planted it in March, but I had to wait for space.
Not too late. I'm going to plant another crop in a few weeks.
🙋🏻♀️ I'd love a garden template!!! I have a very tiny space, thinking I'll have to grow mostly vertically. Suggestions? Thanks, God bless!
Cucumbers, pole beans, even some smaller winter squash like delicata or sweet dumpling can be grown vertically.
I have been told that if you fertilize the same plot of land continuously (like you would during a garden season) it will "breakdown" the soil and will cause future plants to not do so well. Have you heard of this? If so, what are your thoughts?
There can be some consequences of using too much synthetic fertilizer as it creates a high "salt" content in the soils. That's why we like to use compost as well as the fish emulsion so that we don't rely on the inorganic stuff completely.
I know gardening is something were everyone has their way of doing things, curious to see what both of your opinions are on best planting/care for tomatoes and what you each do differently (if anything). I remember in one video you said your dad does better with his tomatoes, so I was curious. Thanks!
I just posted a video earlier this week talking about that.
I’ve been gardening for fifty years and I love it to pieces. But this next year I will plant a veg garden for the first time. My biggest pest in the garden is grasshoppers! I don’t want to kill beneficial insects but I know they are difficult to control even with insecticides! Please give me your best solution!!? I loved the part about mulberries! When I was very young I was always excited to eat mulberries when they arrived!!
Grasshoppers, like any flying insect, are easy to kill in the larval or nymph stage, but almost impossible to kill as adults. You just have to start spraying early (I'd recommend a rotation of pyrethrin and spinosad) and often (at least once a week). Focus on stopping the adults from producing any more adults. Complete eradication is not realistic.
Looks like Trav is growing some personal size onions this year, LOL! Ole Greg still feels the burn of those monster cabbages from this past fall!
Yep. He's definitely still a little sore from the cabbage comparison.
Howdy gents! New sub here, been getting a small garden bed going since last summer with cardboard, wood chips, chicken litter, alfalfa pellets & then brought in a screened topsoil, aged bark mix. Had to start small due to physical issues but have grow bags & large containers too. Keep posting, Ima needing the help!
I'm north of you in Dawsonville
Welcome to the channel!
FELLAS, great show. Was catching up on my row by rows and turns out that the way y’all laid the small plots out is pretty much the same way I have my 15x40 laid out. For the last 12 years I’ve mainly grown by Aquaponics and Hydroponics. However, this year I’m strictly in the dirt due to working out of town in Virginia by way of South Mississippi. I rented myself a community garden play and making a go of it. Planted my pole beans (rattlesnake and blue lake) and also Peter Pan and Patty pan squash. Beans popped but no squash. They (squash) weren’t from y’all, shame on me. So I ordered some Gold Star, Pascola Zucchini and Spineless Zucchini from y’all to replace the pan squash. I’m also ordering the South Anna Butternut today. The tomatoes I ordered from y’all are Summer Pick, Hybrid Roma and Red Snapper. Being up here in Virginia I decided to wait on my maters and I’m glad I did because of this cold snap. I think this summer is gonna be mild and I’ll have maters well into summer. Thanks for all you fellas and your team does. I’m a huge fan and can’t wait to have my own dirt garden of my own back home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I’m still always gonna have my Aquaponics and Hydroponic systems though lol. Thx y’all.
👍
You might get a little chuckle out of this what I'm about to say you were the first garden show that you were going to plant okra and I didn't know what okra was I don't know what it taste like how to cook it whatever you do to it I don't know I'm originally from Pennsylvania Southeast near Philadelphia you can laugh now great show as always
You should give okra a try!
I just ordered Avalon corn, along with lots of other seeds.
Good call!
