    Thank you Andrew I have been wanting to start a garden next year and I am learning a lot. I live in Arkansas so the imperial broccoli probably would do grow better here. Last year I did the bucket garden and most of them were tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, which are still growing and we're still getting Tommy toes or little cherry tomatoes yesterday I know it's December 18th and they're ripening which is odd. I have learned a lot from this channel and your family is awesome.

    Yes! Absolutely. I'd love to hear more in depth info on your veg varieties. You do say, sometimes, that a particular variety is better suited to the market garden than the home garden. One particular disappointment I've had is with bell peppers - thin walls and not enough size - what's your secret?

    • @tjeanvlogs9894
      @tjeanvlogs9894 2 года назад +1

      I have success with peppers in the maritime Pac NW. Key is temperature at the roots and regular moisture during fruiting. If cold settles at the roots or water is irregular, you get stressed fruiting. For the home gardener, a gallon milk jug with a few holes in the bottom filled with water will heat in the sun and dribble moister.

    • @billastell3753
      @billastell3753 2 года назад +1

      I had that problem when I started growing peppers 10 years ago. I saved seed only from the most productive pepper plant each year. Now I have a dependable variety that grows well for me. I get 5-6 big peppers on each plant without watering them. The secret is saving your own seed.

I usually read as much as I can online in forums or even seed reviews to find info before I choose what to grow myself, but another opinion (especially yours) is always appreciated. Thank you! I'd love to see and hear more about crop varieties that get the Ochs seal of approval. Also, were we hoodwinked by Ralph's ID in the intro or did I just miss his actual appearance? He cracks me up every time.

    For broccoli I've been partial to Green Magic over the past few years, you might like Gypsy in your soil for early season. I grow Imperial when it gets hotter because it grows slow in cold weather. I've thought about a late fall variety called Emerald Crown, but I might also give Avenger a try after seeing how big your heads get.
