They are wild Elderberries, from our farm here, in Southern Illinois. These berries will make wine that will make a rabbit hug a hound ! They are a lot more hardy than the ones y'all can order from a catalog. Make sure they have plenty of water and they will make a lot of new plants and lots of berries.
These are quality American tools! I use Sneeboer which look like a lot of these tools, excellent quality. In November Sneeboer offers free engraving. They are also Lifetime guaranteed and they stand behind it. I broke a tyne off of my digging fork and they replaced it. I lost my engraving bc it happened in the spring:-( I use my digging fork like a broadfork. There are a lot of stones in the soil around these houses built in the 1950s. That is an nice display of harvesting greens. Up here in zone (6) I am pulling the bottom leaves off some of my Brussels Sprouts bc they are making sprouts! I am told this gives the stalk more energy to put into the brussels. I am not sure bc this is my 1st year growing brussels. The thing that is nicest about them is that not only do they taste good in the oven with balsamic glaze but they are Deer Resistant in a drought!
From the university of arkansas. He has RUclips videos. I think Natchez has thorns. Newest version is prime ark freedom blooms on first year canes. I grow Arapaho & Ouachita. Excellent plants & berries.
I have four plants of Prime Ark Freedom thornless blackberries in zone 9 and they are doing great! They are pretty trouble free and I get soooo many huge blackberries even off the first year canes. Zero thorns. I have a line of drip tape on them and every so often I put down some balanced fertilizer on it and that’s it. I would definitely recommend them.
Ya'lls Homestead box introduced me to Will's tools. I went and ordered a set from him because of ya'll right after that. THANKS!!! I miss the homestead box. :(
Those look like Elderberry to me.... I have about 30 of them and they spread like fire in the wind.. so plant them somewhere you can let them expand a bit. I put mine in rows on drip, and made elderberry jelly for the first time this year. Every year you can cut them, into 6 - 8 inch pieces and 80% of those will root... very prolific. Elderberry is supposed to be very good for you. I add them to several varieties of wine we make. Very good medicinal plant... but it wants to spread. So plan accordingly.
Well, I am very glad you said something about the Calshot... I'm on my second tray, and still having problems... guess I need to take it off the heat mat. :) Everything else I have tried to start has done great... done everything but tried cool... guess I need to start another tray, and just put it outside.
It appears to like cooler soil than the other lettuce varieties. Very strange, but once we put our tray outside the greenhouse all the seeds germinated.
A lot of lettuces are like that where it needs cool temps to germinate. Some growers put them in coolers to germinate rather than heat mats. I only try to grow lettuce with my cool season veggies in the winter it’s too hot here otherwise.
With annoying grasses like that, it really takes repeated cultivation to eliminate them. The tarp and till technique works well. Tarp for a few weeks, pull back the tarp, till, put the tarp back and keep repeating.
OMGoodness. Greg’s pronunciation of “wasp” isn’t just a South Georgia thing. It’s also prevalent in parts of Mississippi. My husband made fun of my correct pronunciation of it because he actually thought that his way of saying it (like Greg’s) was the right way🙄.
Great show guys! Always enjoy! Yep, you're right about the raised bed folks! It is a LARGE percentage of the gardening population. Those tools should do well! Getting the word out is the main thing, as always! Travis, you might want to give Mr. Bobby Ray Holmes a shout about your blackberries, and any other tree, bush, vine or whatever. He runs Holmestead Farms in Clay County Alabama and he KNOWS his stuff! They've got one of the most beautiful and productive U Pick operations/market farms you've ever seen! His contact info is in this link, they've also got a FB page as well. I believe he's listing 6 varieties of blackberries. I'll be headed down to see him soon. He's so far out in the boonies, you've got to make it worth your while! holmesteadfarm.com/trees-shrubs/
If you have a consistent row spacing and know the width of the wheel hoe, it might be fairly easy for you to work between the rows without damaging the plants.

Thanks for your generous gift WL. We will get them planted and hopefully enjoy some elderberries!

You can crop the leaves and you can also cut the top off the brussels sprouts to increase sprout development.
I grow thornless blackberries...Chester and Black Satin here zone 5b Chicagoland. Blackie is slightly sweeter. Both prolific berry producers.
Thanks for the tip Robin!
Nice to see quality tools still being handmade.
It's a cherished art form indeed.

Thanks for the blackberry info!

Christine those are the ones I want next. And maybe Thornless raspberries
I grow Apache and they are wonderful, very strong upright canes. Navaho and Kiowa are also upright. Natchez are running vine type, not erect.
Thanks Katie! We'll be ordering ours soon.
I start my lettuce in my house in the summer. The ac works great .
Working in the AC is always nice.
I've grown Ouachita and it was great for us. Juicy, sweet with a good heat tolerance and disease resistance. Got a great pickin the first year.
Thanks for the tip Jimmy!
Ya'lls Homestead box introduced me to Will's tools. I went and ordered a set from him because of ya'll right after that. THANKS!!! I miss the homestead box. :(
Will makes great stuff! RIP Homestead Box.
I have all raise beds. those tools are looking good
They are great for your kind of garden!
I always learn something new when watching the show. Thanks, guys!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Travis and Greg 👍
Thanks for watching Roger!
Great video! Loaded with all kinds of good stuff🤗
Thanks for watching!
Triple Crown makes a huge berry, I've had some too big for one bite. Upright plant and very sweet.
Thanks Wayne!
How exciting Barbara... I'm so happy for you...

Sounds like a good plant to have on a wood line.
Congratulations Barbara!
Congrats to her indeed!

Have you done a vlog on hand tool maintenance yet?
We did a Two-Minute Tip on that last year. We talked about sharpening and treating the handles.
Great show as always. Always learn something watching y’all show.
Thanks for joining us Seth!
Travis I hope you and Greg try those Texas sweets 1015 y. Greg said he was back earlier. I like them as well as the Owner of Dixondales.
We got some of those coming. Excited to try them.
So, I'm not the only one that planted onions in October.😃
I’m in zone 9 and I started onions since October 1st. 🤪 so this isn’t surprising for me!!!
Nope. Us too!
I have cogon grass, it comes up through all mulches, will your Silage Tarp kill off cogon grass? What do you suggest doing to kill cogon grass?
With annoying grasses like that, it really takes repeated cultivation to eliminate them. The tarp and till technique works well. Tarp for a few weeks, pull back the tarp, till, put the tarp back and keep repeating.
What do you recommend for controlling the Colorado potato bug on red or white potatoes in zone 8A North Texas?
Start early with a rotation of neem oil and pyrethrin. Spray at least once a week. If it gets really bad, go with spinosad.

Thanks Sean!
@@gardeningwithhoss Yah bless you..
What would you recommend on getting the soil ready for them onions
Onions will grow just about anywhere, but they grow for a long time. So you'd typically like to have the area relatively weed free.
OMGoodness. Greg’s pronunciation of “wasp” isn’t just a South Georgia thing. It’s also prevalent in parts of Mississippi. My husband made fun of my correct pronunciation of it because he actually thought that his way of saying it (like Greg’s) was the right way🙄.
I didn't know how to correctly spell the word "wasp" until I was in middle school. Haha.

Thanks for the tip Tom!
looks like elder berry
That is indeed what it is!
Nice video. Looking to purchase a high arch wheel hoe. Still asking you guys how I a blind gardener can use it. 😞 Ken the blind gardener
If you have a consistent row spacing and know the width of the wheel hoe, it might be fairly easy for you to work between the rows without damaging the plants.
made in the USA! TRUMP 2020!

Thanks Jeff!
