Old school filming.... no wireless microphone, no still shots...but plenty of sweating. Even though we've had very little rain, we're still working hard to make a garden.
Nematode prefer acidic soil. Yes I know peppers and most night shades also like acidic soil, but if you raise the ph to above 6.0 you shouldn't have problems with nematode. I have had peepers grow just fine at 6.5ph so if you suspect nematode just raise the PH on one plant and you should see a difference in a week. My guess is you soil ph is around 5.5 right now. Some nematodes still live at higher ph but its a cheap thing to try.
Bobby, you, yes YOU are the reason I started watching youtube and gardening videos. You taught me how to grow hydroponically and just in general. Soon after, I was watching I'm still workin. You 2 are the cornerstones of youtube and good ole Web Cajun also taught me alot. I really hope you are able to put out more videos! I miss you two!!!
Hi you said Hyacinth Beans are not edible. That is incorrect but they must be cooked. They are widely available in UK but are expensive.I have put a link in here for you to confirm what I say. I am growing for the first time this year also. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lablab but in Cyprus.
Your shirt kept getting wetter and wetter, Chris is up in Boydton this week working outside... he gets the same way...now what should we be planting right now... besides the poke and the thistle that has taken over the garden
Yay, it’s Bobby! Nice shout out to Donald, AKA webcajun. Good to see you and Susan. No worries on the low tech...Keep on keeping it simple...I am low tech simple, so I can understand 🤓
The producer just told me to remind you.... 😂😂😂 had to laugh at that one. Wow, your garden is so impressive. Thanks for showing us your successful efforts. 👍
Bobby keep doing the videos they are God’s work to teach others the produce and sustain . This is the only way we will come out of this and provide for our families and others . Life is precious and God is good , you have a mission keep it up. Self sustainability can be done
Well it's been a while I recall watching you years n years ago with out old friend in New Orleans It was sad to here when he left us . I'm in Ga. I've been garden for approx. 14 yrs. and have learn A lot from both you Guys over the years. Hope you keep up the wonderful job you do. Ron all I can say is loshbah. Not sure that spelling is right. Lol.
Sure do miss Donald, that was nice of you to mention him. I remember the video you did to tell folks about him. I just went back and watched it again, and I saw my comment I left you then: FISH ON 7 years ago Great tribute, I discovered your channel while watching his. You guys are both top-shelf. I actually think he could take those blades off his mower with his bare hands. When Chuck Norris has trespassers, he calls Donald.
Bobby, thanks for the new video. I miss the ole days when you posted regularly. I know that it takes a lot of time to do the videos so I’ll take what I can get. Sense the Cajun Gardener has go on you are my sorce for southern gardening videos
"Like Donald used to do" I miss his videos but glad to still see yours. Great info as usual and thanks about the bean and butterbean tip. Definitely going to try those because the back does get sore now!
Nice big garden glad you are back it's hot in west Tenn too I mow about 6 acres every week plus we bail the rest of our land in hay which is great for me. but I enjoy it better stuck in the house when it's cold.
every time you are absent and surprisingly return, you just step right in as if you were never absent at all --- a good dry spell tour and you mentioned "butter beans" --- i am patiently waiting for picking, cleaning, cooking, and canning video that i hope is on the horizon --- welcome back
around these parts its very easy to pound a well spike down by hand and then you got a nice irrigation well, with a few solar panels a pwn moter controller so you don't outpump your well and a decent pump you can slow fill any kinda container you want, it don't matter if it takes all day as long as its full when you come back.
Those nematodes are tough/impossible to get rid of!! Got them years ago, destroyed the garden, that’s when I went to hydroponic/watching you and NEVER looked back!!! Thanks for the video, always good to see one of yours!
It's so great to see a video from MHP - I've really missed them. Thank you - both of you are the BEST. Blossom End Rot - Hoss Tools recommends Calcium Nitrate Fertilizer. I've been very happy with their products. This year I planted my tomatoes early and transplanted them into bottomless 2 gallon frosting containers from the supermarket. I was able to put them in the screen house early with the sliding doors and windows closed. It gave them a super start. Out in the garden I use Florida Weave and water each bucket by filling it up - from the top of the soil to the top of the pail about two inches space - right on top of the cut up straw mulch. I put the buckets on top of their lids so that I can move them around.
What a fantastic huge garden you have! This year I have had to work hard keeping my little garden watered yours boggles the mind! Wow those tomato plants are laden! Klaus
Just starting to get the gardening itch, early corn just popping up today..so I thought to check out my gardening friends again.. Looking great Bobby, good luck this season. Hope to see more vids from you and Susan..
Glad to see you. No doubt like so many Donald had a great influence on you. You are definitely the one to carry it on. Thanks for what y’all do. At 64 with a bad back I garden in raised beds and pots and still love it.
Way up here in Maine we are getting drought conditions for the first time on record and i'm having to rent a mini excavator to go out in the woods where our creek runs and dig a catch basin and install a 650 gallon tank that i can use a ram pump to draw water out of to fill two 2500 gallon storage tanks just to break even and keep the field crops and greenhouses going. Something is going on with the soil fertility and water quantity for sure. Maybe there is something to that Grand Solar minimum thing.
Good thing I have your channel in my RUclips favorites, because I'm not getting notifications. Thanks for the tour .... your Big Beef tomatoes are sick! Take care .... stay safe.
Yea, people get unsubbed or miss notifications quite often. I don't know if it's a glitch or what. But back when I started, I had channels bookmarked so I could always go back and watch them. Thx.
Bobby thanks for the tips, I lost everything in the greenhouse this year shut the hydroponic system down due to an invasion spider mites and heat. I got totally disorganized with my homestead this year and it has cost me. Working to get back on track for the fall . All is well going to take the time to clean and reorganize everything. I would like to pick your brain on my situation as I’m only a few hours from you. God bless the work you bring to this channel keep up the good work . Praise to God as you are doing His work to teach
Garden is looking great...It is good to see you again...You and Susan motivated me to start helping people with RUclips too..Keep well and safe and God Bless!
Thanks for the great video. Loved the tour of your place. It seems huge, how big is your place? Good to see you get tips from your producer too, just like mine.
Aloha, Thanks to you both for showing your hard work and making us feel good. Bobby your a natural...Be safe and Thanks again. Oh and it's Pau hana here. Suck 'em up.
You're making me envious with that gorgeous big garden and greenhouse! I have a 40'x12' side yard that I'm half using for some tomatoes, mulberries, and corn out here in Southern California. And Sweet 100s are my favorite cherry tomato, I always grow at least one plant every year. This year I tried a Juliet variety, and I love it too. Very productive and has that great sweet and tangy tomato flavor. Looking forward to seeing more creative solutions to watering and gardening.
You are definitely a gardener. I had planted 50lb of red potatoes and my buddy had planted a 125lb of seed potatoes red and white. And I have a few rows of Sweet potatoes, and some baby green Lima beans, and some watermelon. So far the Mellon is coming along pretty well. I live in South East Pennsylvania
I've been growing that Super Sweet 100 cherry tomato for years. I've tried them all and this one has it all. The taste more like berries than tomatoes lol
Thanks for the great video! Your garden is fantastic! You should seriously consider setting up soaker hoses for those row gardens, and maybe drip system manifolds and drip system shrub heads for the separated plants. Then you can automate your watering! Your videos taught me how to grow hydroponically. I've been growing most things hydroponically for a few years using the Masterblend three part mix. You might think about getting a Rode Go wireless microphone for those outdoor shots to pickup your audio better. Your shirt looks absolutely drenched! Thanks for another great video!
awesome short video bobby you and Mrs PRODUCER put on today ....I think the scarecrow on the left is funny (LoL) ...it does look very hot but most of your produce looks good ...I always wonder what do you do (if any) with the produce you have left over that you cant save for you and Mrs Producer
Bobby with a beard? LOL He's still cuter than a speckled hen in a little red wagon. I'd love to see a before and after video of your property now. Looks a lot different than I remember it.. Very nice. Love you both. Nancy1340
Thanks Bobby - always looking forward to your videos. Any chance you'd post a map of your property for me to get a better idea of the big picture? God bless
Need help with hydro tomato’s I have Dutch buckets with perlite. I have washed all buckets out and perlite also. ALL 14 buckets have plenty of blooms on the tomato plants but right before they bloom they have a bend in their stem and when they bloom they break off at the bend. I had cucumbers in a kratky container and the blooms on them did the same thing. Even when I planted them over.. How ever, they did mess with our water and you can smell the sulfur in it. I think that’s what it is but not sure. Can anything else make blooms fall off. PS. I am using “Master blend” 4-28-38 15.5-0-0 Calcium And Epsom salt. Thanks
From what I've seen, the biggest factor in pollination is temperature. To hot or too cold can lead to flower drop. But if you have a high sulfur water, I guess that could be a problem. It seems unusual to me for the tomatoes and cucumbers to be having identical problems. Have you checked the ph of the water?
Hey Bobby and Susan. So glad to see you back. I really missed you! Hope it's not to late to get a reply from you on this thread. I'm Kenny a 76 year old retired veteran. I've been gardening for many years but now at this late age it is my dream to grow enough to set up a small veggie stand in front of the house here in Northern New Mexico. Our town of less than 1000 folks has one grocery store and the veggies they have travel so far they go rotten in a matter of days. You have inspired me to try dutch buckets etc., but due to the cost I may have to deal with in-ground beds one more year and deal with bugs etc. Even in the drought your outdoor in-ground garden looks really great. My question is this: How and with what do you fertilize your in-ground beds with and how often? Do you also use Masterblend on them too? I didn't have much in-ground success here last year so your guidance on what you use will be much appreciated. One more question if I may, Bobby. It gets quite hot here also, in 90s and 100. Have you had much luck with Kratky and NFT in the heat of summer (wondering about water temps etc)? I've successfully grown Salanova lettuce in ground all summer with shade cloth and also all winter in an unheated high tunnel inspite of lows of single digits but not sure about how it would do in summer with Kratky and NFT. Thank you in advance. We (Sally and I) Love you guys. You are a voice of decency in this crazy woke world we are in now. Thank you for that!!!
so what you saying is next year, the corn patch will be by itself and you will be under a tree drinking a cold drink(per Bayou Gardener) rest his soul.
Do you have a video of that pole bean set up/trellis? I am gonna go and search through your videos but you have a lot to search through lol. You mentioned a previous video you did. Love that curtain-like wall of beans. Thank you so much!
Bobby, do y'all use primarily heirloom seeds? I try to use them as much as possible and have great results with beans and tomatoes but not so good with my squashes.
Hi, your garden is growing pretty darn good, I’m wondering how many acres you have that you grow on, we’re going to sell our house to get one with more land to grow on and I’m trying to get a feel for how much I’ll need. Good to see you.
I used to plant a lot more area, but it's been cut back as the years go by. How much land you need depends on your needs...are you supplementing your food supply? or are you trying to live off the garden? For most people, an acre garden would be more work than they'd want to mess with. And you can grow a ton of food on an acre. I'd also consider having enough land for all the other things that are necessarily garden types. And the most important thing....water...trying to get something with a creek or pond. Thanks.
(You got me into hydroponics) I’m completely new to hydroponic growing. Currently have 25L buckets with a net pot on top of it also has aeration. Have a severe problem of algae growth and root problems. Was planning on going back to soil if I can’t find a solution. Would you happen to have an email? So I could send you a photo?
I enjoyed the tour, Thanks Bobby.
Thanks Rob, we have a lot going on.
Old school filming.... no wireless microphone, no still shots...but plenty of sweating. Even though we've had very little rain, we're still working hard to make a garden.

It was nice of you to mention Donald (the webcajun). I was replanting some onions today and was thinking of him.
There's Bobby (with Susan at his side)...using his brilliant mind to figure it out, then generously sharing and caring with all of us. God Bless!
Nice to have you back. It felt like we lost an old friend.
Sir, you are a sane voice in a world gone crazy. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you kindly sir.
Yay, it’s Bobby! Nice shout out to Donald, AKA webcajun. Good to see you and Susan. No worries on the low tech...Keep on keeping it simple...I am low tech simple, so I can understand 🤓
The producer just told me to remind you.... 😂😂😂 had to laugh at that one.
Wow, your garden is so impressive. Thanks for showing us your successful efforts. 👍
Videos are fun to do when I have the "producer" operating the camera. Thanks.
I'm still working I'm liking hearing you on the video, at least he let's get outside LoL
I miss all the frequent videos that you used to do all the time, guess you can only cover so much and then you run out of subject material
I've missed you!
Love your content, delivery, expertise etc etc
Thank you so very much.
Good to see you bearded
So nice to see you making videos again as we have missed you so much. We also miss Donald so much. Thanks for this video and God Bless you!
I’ve never heard my grandma say okra. Always okry. Priceless nostalgia!
You are the master. 👍🏿 👍🏿
Ah Donald, sure miss his videos. Agree that those super sweet 100’s are great. Garden looks great!
Thanks for the update, Bobby! Keep cool.
Missed you!
Excellent garden again! I'm so amazed by how much you grow just plain beautiful 👍🏽
Bobby keep doing the videos they are God’s work to teach others the produce and sustain . This is the only way we will come out of this and provide for our families and others . Life is precious and God is good , you have a mission keep it up. Self sustainability can be done
Well it's been a while I recall watching you years n years ago with out old friend in New Orleans
It was sad to here when he left us . I'm in Ga. I've been garden for approx. 14 yrs. and have learn
A lot from both you Guys over the years. Hope you keep up the wonderful job you do. Ron all I can say is loshbah. Not sure that spelling is right. Lol.
Glad you're back!!!
Dang Bobby, you got a lot going on! Made me tired just looking at all the stuff you've got growing! Great job 👍
Welcome back!
Bobby great to see you back. So sorry to hear Donald has left us. Lost my Sue after 45 years together 21 Feb 15
Would love to see your winter gardening efforts, your cold plants ... Thanks for the video
Shout out to you from Utah.
My garden right now is small but its been so fun and rewarding.
Love all your videos and everything you do.
God Bless!
Sure do miss Donald, that was nice of you to mention him. I remember the video you did to tell folks about him. I just went back and watched it again, and I saw my comment I left you then:
FISH ON
7 years ago
Great tribute, I discovered your channel while watching his. You guys are both top-shelf.
I actually think he could take those blades off his mower with his bare hands. When Chuck Norris has trespassers, he calls Donald.
Nice to have you back, see you next time
It's impressive to see how you use that grey matter between your ears ;-) I'm always picking new things. Thumbs up, my friend.
LOL, I give that grey matter a good workout ! Thanks.
Bobby, thanks for the new video. I miss the ole days when you posted regularly. I know that it takes a lot of time to do the videos so I’ll take what I can get. Sense the Cajun Gardener has go on you are my sorce for southern gardening videos
Please keep up the good work. Thanks from Georgia
"Like Donald used to do" I miss his videos but glad to still see yours. Great info as usual and thanks about the bean and butterbean tip. Definitely going to try those because the back does get sore now!
THANKS Bobby and Susan, always ENJOY your videos!!!!!
This garden is amazing! 👏👏👏👏 bravo! I'm jealous! You should do a "garden with me" series!
you are truly entertaining & knowledgeable ... love your videos ... 👌👍✌😊
The farm is looking great! Thanks for the plant ideas! The swing looks very comfortable!
Bobby save me a pound of those seiva Bean's will come get them and pay you for them. Thanks R.D.
Glad to see a video from you. 3 months , to get my MHP fixes is way to long!
Great update video! I got a few chuckles. Keep up the good work!
sweet 100's are my favorite one of all...good to dee you both..take care and be Blessed
Nice big garden glad you are back it's hot in west Tenn too I mow about 6 acres every week plus we bail the rest of our land in hay which is great for me. but I enjoy it better stuck in the house when it's cold.

I think I'll be doing more hydro stuff too. It's frustrating to put the time and effort into growing and then be stumped by a nematode. Thanks.
Used to watch you and your wife years ago. Nice to see you again. 😊
This man will never go hungry.
It's so great to see a video from MHP - I've really missed them. Thank you - both of you are the BEST. Blossom End Rot - Hoss Tools recommends Calcium Nitrate Fertilizer.

Hey Bobby wow glad to see you back filming again! RUclips never told me. You can grow some food!
I think with so many people making videos it's easy to miss a few, especially if they don't post on a regular schedule. Thanks.
Just starting to get the gardening itch, early corn just popping up today..so I thought to check out my gardening friends again.. Looking great Bobby, good luck this season. Hope to see more vids from you and Susan..
Glad to see you. No doubt like so many Donald had a great influence on you. You are definitely the one to carry it on. Thanks for what y’all do. At 64 with a bad back I garden in raised beds and pots and still love it.
Glad you are back i have always enjoyed your videos
Appreciate your videos, good solid advice here thank you 🙏 👍
Way up here in Maine we are getting drought conditions for the first time on record and i'm having to rent a mini excavator to go out in the woods where our creek runs and dig a catch basin and install a 650 gallon tank that i can use a ram pump to draw water out of to fill two 2500 gallon storage tanks just to break even and keep the field crops and greenhouses going.

It is so good to see a new video from you brother.
Great looking garden, and you work hard at it. Thanks for the video.
Sooooo glad to see you again!!
Man, I love you. Much love from wisconsin.
Great to see a video from you! Wish my garden looked that good.
Always glad to see you my brother.you tell it like it is good or bad.
It’s sure good to see ya back
Good thing I have your channel in my RUclips favorites, because I'm not getting notifications. Thanks for the tour .... your Big Beef tomatoes are sick! Take care .... stay safe.
Yea, people get unsubbed or miss notifications quite often. I don't know if it's a glitch or what. But back when I started, I had channels bookmarked so I could always go back and watch them. Thx.
Bobby thanks for the tips, I lost everything in the greenhouse this year shut the hydroponic system down due to an invasion spider mites and heat. I got totally disorganized with my homestead this year and it has cost me. Working to get back on track for the fall . All is well going to take the time to clean and reorganize everything.

Garden is looking great...It is good to see you again...You and Susan motivated me to start helping people with RUclips too..Keep well and safe and God Bless!
Thanks, it's been a busy year....some failures but plenty of successes. I'm glad so many people decided to plant a garden this year.
Thanks for the video I have sure learned a lot from your hydroponic videos. Hope to see more soon.
Love you brother, good to see you back on RUclips
looks great. thanks
Good seeing you again boss, hope all is well.
Lots of food amazing work Bobby
Thanks, it was a good year in the greenhouse.
Thanks for the great video. Loved the tour of your place. It seems huge, how big is your place? Good to see you get tips from your producer too, just like mine.
Aloha,
Thanks to you both for showing your hard work and making us feel good. Bobby your a natural...Be safe and Thanks again. Oh and it's Pau hana here. Suck 'em up.
Thanks Tom. It's Pau hana here too !
Looking good.
The Bush Beans I usually plant enough where I pull the whole plant up and sit on a chair to harvest them.
All I can say is WOW that is a lot of garden plants
You're making me envious with that gorgeous big garden and greenhouse! I have a 40'x12' side yard that I'm half using for some tomatoes, mulberries, and corn out here in Southern California.

Looking forward to seeing more creative solutions to watering and gardening.
Those Sweet 100's just keep on coming. The locals who come by really enjoy them. Thanks.
Enjoyed the video ... got shirts that look like that ... all the best from Arkansas!
You are definitely a gardener.
I had planted 50lb of red potatoes and my buddy had planted a 125lb of seed potatoes red and white.
And I have a few rows of Sweet potatoes, and some baby green Lima beans, and some watermelon.
So far the Mellon is coming along pretty well.
I live in South East Pennsylvania
Welcome back!!!
What a beautiful place you have :)
Nice garden. A lot of work
Great video as always Bobby. I’d love to grow some of the sieva butter beans but cannot locate them. Any idea where I could buy some.
till in mustard cover crop.it is said to reduce nemotodes a lot .Nice garden
I've been growing that Super Sweet 100 cherry tomato for years. I've tried them all and this one has it all. The taste more like berries than tomatoes lol
Thanks for the great video! Your garden is fantastic! You should seriously consider setting up soaker hoses for those row gardens, and maybe drip system manifolds and drip system shrub heads for the separated plants. Then you can automate your watering!

New sub Loved the creek idea...
Thanks, we are fortunate to have a creek on the front and back of our property. Gardening would be much different without them.
YOU'RE BACK!!!
awesome short video bobby you and Mrs PRODUCER put on today ....I think the scarecrow on the left is funny (LoL) ...it does look very hot but most of your produce looks good ...I always wonder what do you do (if any) with the produce you have left over that you cant save for you and Mrs Producer
Bobby with a beard? LOL He's still cuter than a speckled hen in a little red wagon. I'd love to see a before and after video of your property now. Looks a lot different than I remember it.. Very nice. Love you both. Nancy1340
great vid thanks
Calypso Cucumber was a good one for me this year. It got downy mildew and just kept on rolling. Never seen anything like it.
Thanks Bobby - always looking forward to your videos. Any chance you'd post a map of your property for me to get a better idea of the big picture? God bless
Omg! Missed y'all!
BLESSINGS ❤️
Need help with hydro tomato’s
I have Dutch buckets with perlite. I have washed all buckets out and perlite also.
ALL 14 buckets have plenty of blooms on the tomato plants but right before they bloom they have a bend in their stem and when they bloom they break off at the bend.
I had cucumbers in a kratky container and the blooms on them did the same thing.
Even when I planted them over..
How ever, they did mess with our water and you can smell the sulfur in it.
I think that’s what it is but not sure.
Can anything else make blooms fall off.
PS. I am using “Master blend”
4-28-38
15.5-0-0 Calcium
And Epsom salt.
Thanks
From what I've seen, the biggest factor in pollination is temperature. To hot or too cold can lead to flower drop. But if you have a high sulfur water, I guess that could be a problem. It seems unusual to me for the tomatoes and cucumbers to be having identical problems. Have you checked the ph of the water?
