We’re homesteader and love cog hill and vw family farms along with Stivers! We actually did do the silage tarps this year and have been very pleased. Look forward to trying your tools and things y’all sale!
Great Video, im zone 8a NC. so i feel a lot of your tips work well here as well. As far as planting times and what to plant. The other tips are for all zones. Thanks!
Just started following yall, and what awesome information. I live in the suburbs and have a 2500sft garden. The seeds Ive used in the past failed me; but now Im gonna give Hoss a try. Thank You Gentlemen
@@gardeningwithhoss, Im sure I wont. Mr. Danny King has really respected and had great success from Hoss Tools, so Im gonna give it a try, and share with other suburban Homesteaders; because theres many of us out there. Thank You
In my okra patch which were 6' tall and not producing, I actually listened to a fertilizer advertisement and learned what each of the NPK is for. ('Up, down and all around'). I hear about fertilizing with nitrogen all the time however if you want fruit or veggies you have to use the P and thr K. After I fertilized with the bone meal and an all round organic fertilizer with a low nitrogen content, I now have okra!!!!!☺ Give it a try and see. It might take a few weeks but it worked for me.
Never grown pumpkins before but I'm going to give it a shot. I know it's late but I'm planting seminole, blue bayou, and the fairytale this weekend. Our average frost date is the 2nd week of December so I hope they do ok. Thanks for all the great information you provide.
Always look forward to Thursdays... had 6 inches of rain yesterday... disaster. My fall peas were looking oh so well... and they are nearly drowned... expecting more rain tomorrow and all weekend. Probably going have to repeat... would say rinse and repeat... but I think God has taken care of the rinse cycle for me. He of course knows best! Getting ready to start my Rattle Snake Beans... as well. Guess it's going to be next weekend though before I can do anything... hopefully it will be a little dryer by then.
Kind of got lost at end on which were direct seed in each month. and which were transplant starts in that month. Aren't turnips, beets, radishes (either way?), onions/alliums usually started in trays - which month? And which month are transplants moved outdoors? --- NVM, found answers below/thank you.
Turnips and radishes -- we direct seed now through the winter months. You can direct seed beets, but we like to transplant them. Have some started now. Onions transplants will go in the ground in November, so will need to be started around now.
We really like the "Row to Row", "Two Minute Tip", and "Gardening With Greg", parts of y'all's channel. We are learning a lot of gardening tricks, that we didn't know. We got our seed order from y'all and can't wait to get them all planted. Y'all's seed quality is way better than we have got from anywhere else. You will do really well with your seed business. We got them quick and we have Blue Bayou pumpkin seed growing in the garden. We are in Southern Illinois and can't wait to see our first pumpkin. My question is what would y'all recommend for a cover crop, up here in zone 6, with clay soil ? Me and a lot of my Facebook friends, are waiting to hear what will work best, here.
I appreciate the tip on using the silage tarp and till to overcome the bermuda grass. So much so that I just ordered a silage tarp from Hoss Tools. My other problem weed is the morning glory. Do you know or suppose that the tarp and till will work the same with it? Thanks for the show. Jason
Great Info guys! Please share the pumpkin soup recipe. I love this format about planning. Can you do similar one for what your schedule is for insect management? Thanks! Curt
Can't wait to see how you fellas do cabbage... I keep trying... well tried a handful of times and I get nothing but softballs.... do you juice them up on Chilean Nitrate like onjions or just keep the balanced 20-20-20
There's no such thing as GMO cabbage. There are several seed companies out there (Baker Creek especially) that are using scare-tactics to make customers think that GMO seeds are everywhere and that they are the only ones who have non-GMO seeds. This is garbage. There are only a few vegetable crops that have GMO variants - corn, sugar beets, squash, soybeans. The big companies that sell these GMO seeds have no interest in selling their seeds in small quantities to backyard farmers. They are only interested in commercial production. So there's never any risk of buying GMO seeds without knowing it. In most instances, they require you to sign an intellectual property agreement just to grow GMO crops. So if you seed a seed company putting non-GMO all over their marketing material, you should let them know that they are lying to their customers and providing misinformation. It's the equivalent of putting a gluten-free label on a gallon of milk.
I know this vid was a couple of days ago, but when you said you're planting onions in Nov, you didn't say whether you're direct-seeding or starting them in trays...I suspect you're direct-seeding, but please clarify. Thanks!
1. Do I just fry the wedges? w/ Onion? 2. How do I make the soup? Refer to my Julia Child cookbook? Blue Bayou takes (90) days when did you sow your seeds? Tiger collard seedlings are pretty! They have green and red veins whereas Jade Cross is only green. I brought my seedlings in last night and inspected them. The Cabbage moth laid MANY seeds on Jade Cross seedlings. I took a pc of Scotch Tape and lifted the eggs and hung them up by a binder clip. They have demolished my Brussels in the field. I shoulda covered them w/ Agribon. Plant the Red Bull Brussels kinda deeply or they may lodge. I started them in Root Riot. The one I planted kinda deeply is standing tall. The one that I just pushed in but not far enough is lodging. I'm getting Savoy bc Castle Hill in England always grows Savoy AND Gregg says it has good flavour. Gregg could've really spoken to Charleston Wakefield cabbage bc he's completed many "spells" of it. Hoss seeds are great for ppl like me who live on the East Coast. Mine came straight up the East Coast in (2) days from GA! I like Rareseeds but it took theirs (4) days to get to me from MO. I like Turnips mashed with buerre like potatoes. Turnip is such a respectable crop bc it can be eaten from root to shoot! I plant Oilseed Radish EVERY winter as a cover crop bc it has the benefit of winter killing in Zone 6 and it leaves a Nice Tilth to the soil in the spring! I already broadcast mine everywhere that I intend to plant. The seeds are laying in my strawberry/brussels bed. I hope today's rainstorm germinated them:-) Radish will germinate if you sneeze at 'em:-) I like the dainty lavender flowers that result IF and when they don't winter kill. I asked Johnny's what the lavender flowers could be after I had bought their Fall Mix and they said they didn't know??? Come on Johnny's! We have Hoss seeds now so we don't have to worry about that:-) Gregg is saying "CALSHOT". It is a (2) toned lettuce: green w/ red tops. Pelleted lettuce seeds are a nice luxury. I've already started my Rainbow Chard (beet) seedlings. I'm looking forward to the variety of rainbow colours. I've already started my Calendula. I have Alpha and Flashback from Johnny's. Alpha germinated the best. My seeds are a few years old. I like the Flashback look so I need to git busy sowing more of those seeds. Perhaps tonight! Calendula refers to the Calendar. I just got another Iris Lilac handled seedbox from Amazon! I love them to organize my seeds and keep them water free. I plant Oilseed Radish and Cereal Winter Rye for my fall cover crops. The (2) months that begin w/ the letter "A" are the months to plant Alfalfa. I like it bc it is perennial in zone 6. I got it from Johnny's. Leaf Hoppers sucked the green out of it this July so I trimmed a lot of it. I originally grew it w/ my (2) Rex Rabbits in mind bc they eat Oxbow Alfalfa pellets and I thought how nice for them to have fresh Alfalfa to eat. I just put some more Allium bulbs in the ground but it does not get sweltering hot in PA like it did in TX. It is almost always 80 degrees or less here.
@@gardeningwithhoss I'm trying:-) I just sowed some Showy Milkweed, Verbena Bonariensis, and Chinese Multicoloured Spinach seeds in Root Riot. This substrate is good for the home gardner. It has a chocolate colour and the green seedlings look fab:-)
I come back and watched this again, and took some notes... comparing to what IFAS says (I've always just used their guide, but they don't ever say much about direct seed vs. transplants. Dallas... you guys better be careful... not many conservatives left in Texas... bring the flag when you come back to America. ;)
you guys are building the best seed store for south gardeners.
Our seeds work all over the country, but they do work well in areas with high disease or insect pressure.
Hoss has the best information thank you gentlemen 🌶
Thank you! We enjoy hearing that.
Just what I was looking for. Thanks much. Please consider doing this for each month of the year.
Whew! We'll try ...

They have good products girl.
We have our seeds germination tested every 6 months to ensure quality. You won't be disappointed.
@@gardeningwithhoss, Im sure I wont. Mr. Danny King has really respected and had great success from Hoss Tools, so Im gonna give it a try, and share with other suburban Homesteaders; because theres many of us out there. Thank You
You will love the seeds they all have great germ rates.
I like the tarps and thanks for the shout out.
Good to see you here!
Great show on another timely subject! Always tons of good info here! I'm tickled to hear of more PELLETED SEEDS! Yes!! I'll be working on an order!
Thanks Tom!

Good to hear. Okra don't need a lot of fertilizer.
I can't wait to try those blue bayou's next year!
You'll love 'em!

You should be good. You'll have some great pumpkins once cured around Christmas time!
Perfect timing
Good to know!
How bout sharing that recepy for that pumpkin soup, thanks guys injoy the show
We'll do that!

Hope it dries for you. It's definitely pole bean time!
I have the LSU Gold fig but haven't seen the purple around here. The gold are huge, twice as big as that purple.
That's good to know. Those big LSU figs are absolutely delicious!
Giving me ideas for pumpkins....
Pumpkins are wonderful!

Would you start transplants for bok choy in August as well? And when would you plant?
Yes, and plant when the transplants get ready in the trays. When you can pull them from the tray, they are ready!

For clay soils, Daikon Radish (aka Tillage Radish) is a great option.
When I was a kid my grandma used to pickle pumpkin. It was really good.
Never had that but would certainly be willing to try it!
I appreciate the tip on using the silage tarp and till to overcome the bermuda grass. So much so that I just ordered a silage tarp from Hoss Tools. My other problem weed is the morning glory. Do you know or suppose that the tarp and till will work the same with it? Thanks for the show. Jason
It should work equally as well on the morning glory.
What do you mean by rense and repeat?
We can basically treat fall like we do spring as far as planting. But we like to plant some different things in fall as opposed to spring.
I didn't know about pumpkin soup that sounds good. That is why I never grew pumpkins because I didn't know what to do wit them after I picked them.
Now you know!
Can you put links to the two other youtube channel mentioned in this video?

Thanl you for sharing
Thanks Cap'n!
I heard about yall on the three channels you did a shoutout at. 💚💜💛

How about that pumpkin soup recipe?
If you watch this week's show, we share it at the beginning.
Hello where can I find the Blue Bayou Pumpkin ?
Right here: hosstools.com/product/blue-bayou-pumpkin/
Will you share the pumpkin recipes?
We will figure out a way to share it.
Can't wait to see how you fellas do cabbage... I keep trying... well tried a handful of times and I get nothing but softballs.... do you juice them up on Chilean Nitrate like onjions or just keep the balanced 20-20-20
Cabbage are heavy feeders. They need a lot of juice to make big heads.
Can you burn them up or no?
Where can I get the onion slips you guys grow in November?
www.dixondalefarms.com
@@gardeningwithhoss They stopped shipping in May and won't start again until January.
@@gardeningwithhoss nevermind I see them
They will ship in November. They do it for us every year.
Ive got a question for short day yellow onions. How deep and distance between direct seed, or do you seed tray start?
We'll start them in seed trays and then plant 4-6" apart.
@@gardeningwithhoss, thank you very much
Did you post the pumpkin soup recipe?
We did on one of the shows after this one. Not sure if it was the week directly after or the second week, but we did.
Are seeds available for purchase at your office or are they mail order only ?
We have everything in stock here at our warehouse. You can stop by anytime between 8:00 - 5:00, Mon-Fri and get anything you want.
That be me on the okra appreciate the help
Glad we could help James!
'Missed you guys! Question: When should you start onion seeds for November planting?
September is when we plant on starting ours.
@@gardeningwithhoss We're about 3 to 4 weeks behind you here in zone 9b, so should start mine at the end of September or first part of October then.
Of the 4 cabbage seeds you shiwed; are any of them GMO? I would also like to know what you think about GMO products?
There's no such thing as GMO cabbage. There are several seed companies out there (Baker Creek especially) that are using scare-tactics to make customers think that GMO seeds are everywhere and that they are the only ones who have non-GMO seeds.

How bout getting us that pumpkin soup recipe?
We'll have to get Mrs. Hoss to provide her secrets.
Yay guest speaker!
Can I sow my Joi Choi seed for transplant plants the end of August?
Oh yeah!
The seed that’s started in certain months when is it actually transplanted into garden?
Most crops take about 4 weeks to grow a decent transplant that's ready to go in the ground.
Where do y’all get your onion sets from that you plant in the fall
We get ours from Dixondale Farms in TX, but we'll be growing many for ourselves this year.
Do you plant onions in November for harvest next spring or is it just for another harvest in the fall?
We plant in November and then harvest in spring.
Y’all gonna offer onion sets?
No, just the seeds.
Where do y’all buy your onion sets at?

We always plant onions from transplants. They take a little time to germinate and get started, so transplanting is a way to stay ahead of the weeds.
Hey did I tell you fells my banana pepper plants are over 4 foot tall using microboost and 20 20 20!
Gotta throw some Epsom salt out there to force some more blooms out of them
