And just to think, all of that production with only some wood chips, bokashi, a little COF and worm castings, you guys really had an amazing garden. I also think you did a great job of using the space to it's best advantage. I can hardly wait to see your production in several years when you have your own place. If the sponge material had a chance to form inside the luffa, you should be able to dry them out and get a sponge. The smaller green ones I stored in the basement last year mainly spoiled, although I did get a few. I think it would be a good idea to wipe them down with a mold inhibitor, like LAB, a bleach solution or hydrogen peroxide. This is something I am doing with my bird house gourds this year. I also think storing them in a warm over cool dry environment would be beneficial. The two luffas I got this year, worm food. I even saw some one dried them in an oven? Curious, what are you going to do with the super hot peppers? paint remover? Nice leeks too! Hope you saved a bunch of seeds. Great job my friends, I am sure the neighbors will appreciate your generosity. Stay Well !!!
Thanks Brian !! Going to make a hot sauce and save some seeds and see what happens. Thanks for the tip on Luffa, I feel we'll have lots worm food too lol !! Great year, learned a ton from people like you !! Just awesomeness!! Cheers my friend 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's been interesting to see how you have got on in your new garden and you both have adapted really well and yes you have enjoyed every moment which is good to see. Happy gardening, Terry King.
Food has always been a bonus my friend!! It was amazing to see the differences in growth and looking forward to making adjustments next year:) Cheers Terry Jason and Colleen 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛🇺🇸
Oh my goodness!!!!! What a harvest photo. Can you imagine what it would look like with 470 lb of tomatoes 🍅 😋 I'm glad you did so well ❤ You guys are Awesome 👌 ❤ ❤Peggy❤
Hey, thanks Barry !! It was a really fun summer, especially growing in such a different climate than Victoria!! Have a great weekend!! Cheers Jason and Colleen 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛🇬🇧🇺🇸
Oh my god was Heinz calling you for contributions 😅. It’s so amazing that you can donate some ❤ true growers spirit 👍. Awesome job kiddos yiu knocked it out of the park, Ali 🇨🇦🥰🇺🇸
I can't believe how many tomatoes we ate fresh! Because there is no way there is 470 lbs of frozen tomatoes. We did give tomatoes away to the neighbors regularly. That was super fun! Cheers, Colleen
Wowzer! 470 lbs of tomatoes! So fantastic!! It was such a joy to see ya'all hit the ground running with gardening in a brand new climate. Ya'all had an epic season 🙌
How lovely! The loofah can be dried and sliced up to use as an exfoliating sponge in the bath or shower, or even for washing dishes. What an amazing harvest, you’ve done well!
Amazing!! Thanks for letting us know. It's our first year in the midwest so everything went in late but turned out great !! Have an awesome day!! Cheers Jason and Colleen 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛
470lbs of Tomatoes .... awesome! Great end of season harvest for you all. Its been quite a summer ride with all the cropping and new climate rather than the Canadian climate you guys started the growing in. Thanks for another good video, and happy hibernating 🙂
Thanks, Mike !! Blown away by how well the tomatoes did, especially after the rough start they had !! Really happy with everything, especially learning !! Have a great weekend!! Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛🇬🇧🇺🇸
The tomatoes were my favorite thing, Greta - I ate SO MANY and we still had lots to roast and freeze. We've used a couple of bags and they are delicious! Cheers, Colleen
470 lbs of 🍅 tomatoes 🍅 and sooo many peppers 🌶 👍 All in all you had a great harvest. We had the first frost already and a week after that frost I found a huge eggplant 🍆 hidden under flowers perfectly fine. "Actually not terrible 🍉" made me laugh 😂 Stay awesome as well.
It was an incredible summer and we were super lucky. Killed a bunch of stuff but others did great. No matter the weather, something will always do well:))) Enjoy the eggplant and hopefully it better than "not terrible"🤣 Cheers Heidi 🌱🤞👍😊
Thanks, Tom - we did give some green peppers away as my mom will only eat red ones. She's a pepper snob! But she is really happy with the winter squash haul. Cheers, Colleen
Holly cow your leeks look amazing!!! Definitely save that pepper plant😮. Nice big Jay's peach ghost jamii, I'm thinking of drying some of mine and making chilli flakes.❤️👍🤠🌶️💪🪱💩
Perfect !! Gonna try to save some seeds and see what happens. The leeks liked the woodchips, I think to. They were right at the edge of the bed 🤜🤛 Have a great weekend Brother!! Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛🤠👍
Amazing luffa and winter squash.the watermelon is soooo cute😊 The luffa you can cook it when its young.just suatee it with garlic. Or you can mix it with soup as well.. but if ita tough.i guess make it as a back scrubber😂.awesomee harvest guys.thanks
Lol - Jason tried one when it was small but it was raw. And like a soapy cucumber, I think he said. We'll have to try to cook them next year. We're hoping they dry out a bit more so we can make those scrubber! Cheers, Colleen
My mom really did a lot of work last year that set us up for a lot of success this year. But Jason had a lot of sweat equity in the harvests this summer. All his work really paid off! We have to make sure we set my mom up for next year! Cheers, Colleen
Thanks Hugh - all Jason's sweating this summer has really paid off. Didn't you think the leeks were amazing! They are as long as Jason's torso lol - cheers, Colleen
Congratulations you two on an incredible growing season! I'm surprised you didn't get more and bigger pumpkins. If you get some of those giant pumpkin seeds, you'll be able to double the weight of your harvest next year. Do worms over winter in the ground where you are? As Nick said, I hope you saved the awesome pepper plant! ~ Sandra
Thanks Sandra! It definitely exceeded our expectations. The pumpkins didn't grow because my mom and I planted them too late. And then it was just too hot and they didn't get watered enough. And we'd run out of room in beds and planted them along the edge in wood chips. Lol - it was not ideal! Next year we are going to do better! Cheers, Colleen
We are planning on having one meal a week with squash. And one meal a week with sweet potatoes. I think my mom could eat them every day, but we don't have enough for that! Cheers, Colleen
Wow! Awesome harvests! I just moved to the Springfield area from Oregon, and so I’m binge watching all your videos 😅 Curious - how many tomato plants did you grow to yield 470 pounds?!
Amazing! That's so awesome! Your climate was a lot like ours, I'm sure. Welcome to the channel! Jason says we had about 30 ish plants in the main area. We had a few cherry tomatoes sprinkled around, too. Next year, we plan on growing only the ones we really liked this year and that produced. So fewer plants, but we'll enjoy them more. And hey - you're always welcome to stop by since you're in the area! The last few days really melted a lot of things around here, but you'd be welcome this fall or you can wait until next spring! Cheers, Colleen
@@clivesconundrumgarden thank you, Colleen! I’d absolutely love to meet you and see your garden. I’m no professional or RUclipsr but I’m working on a veg patch and would love to have you guys over and share resources!
Unbelievable harvest!! 213,188.41 grams of Tomatoes!!!! Score!! Now do Florida!! Not sure what I was looking at, at the end but ewww about summed it up!!🪱🪱🪱
Oh my goodness!!!!! What a harvest photo. Can you imagine what it would look like with 470 lb of tomatoes 🍅 😋 I'm glad you did so well ❤ You guys are Awesome 👌 ❤ ❤Peggy❤
Thanks, Peggy! We ate A LOT of those tomatoes fresh, but the freezer is really full of roasted tomatoes. We've been using them in sauces and soup, which has been wonderful. I can only imagine how great it will be to have our tomatoes in February - and I think we'll have enough to do so. Cheers, Colleen
