My thoughts 🤔 Yellow raspberries, or Gold, are awesome. Sweet and makes a fantastic jam, and cranberry and gold raspberry chutney (pecans). Plus adds variety and color to a fruit platter. Boysenberries - I don't have any of these, but after looking them up, I want to try this year. Try blueberry plants in a container or raised bed (deep roots so at least 3 foot deep and wide). You can control the soil acidity and adding sulfur to help. You can put rebar with a handle in a few places around the plant. The roots will grow around it over the years. Each month, you can pull the rebar out and add the amendments and then, put it back in the soil. It is my family's favorite fruit from the orchard next to black raspberries. They continuously produce all summer long. A fresh from the shrub blueberry is the best and worth the extra work, YUM! I get really frustrated when the boys eat them all and I don't get to can very many jars. I added 6 more plants last year and impatiently waiting to see how many I actually need to satisfy the need. Plus, EVERYONE wants fresh blueberries, a HUGE demand on the market. If you have a hard time growing them, everyone else around you may have a hard time, hence, good sales. Strawberries are difficult for me for many years. I keep trying! Since you are in zone 7, try muscadines and scuppernongs! I can't grow them (zone 6a, but will try when the greenhouse goes up). But I LOVE them! Muscadine jelly is divine! Huckleberry, gooseberries, and goji berries are options.
I'm definitelyh going to try yellow/gold raspberries. Everyone seems to love them. I did wind up putting the blueberries that were still alive in large grow bags. I put in a lot of peat moss and some pine needles. I'll try doing other things that can acidify them. I'm going to give them 1 last effort. I have 4 that are still alive...but not very healthy. I've never heard of scuppoernongs. We haven't tried grapes yet because the spotted lantern flies have been pretty heavy the last 2 years. I'll make a note of those types of grapes. I heard someone else mention goji berries....I'll look into all of those. THANKS!!
Merry Christmas and thank for bringing us along to your garden. It's contagious and I want to get out there and get started. I'm also really looking forward to the new gardening year. Happy holidays with your beloved ones.
@@madidu6566 thanks for the encouragement. I guess all gardeners are going to have to be patient for a few months.... But we can keep dreaming and planning.
I did a few of those two years ago, but for some reason they didn't sell very well....maybe I didn't have desireable colors? I'll look into them again. Thanks!
I think we're going to try boysenberries. I love trying new things and everyone seems to have good things to say about them. Thanks for the encouragement.
Bring on the seed catalogs and dreams of Spring!! I have to totally re-plan my garden as I know we will not be home the last half of June and the first half of July. So cool weather plants for spring and fall and some good cover crop for the area that will not get crops this summer. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year and God bless y'all and keep growing
Oh, wow...that's gonna be a challenge. Will you have anyone to care for the garden while you are gone? I hope you find a way to make it work and still get lots of produce. Thanks and Merry Christmas to you.
I hate the squash bugs, too. I am always out there squishing them and their eggs. But it's worth it to get all of the great squash:) - I ordered four raised metal beds for this next growing season. I am waiting for them to be delivered. I am pretty excited about them. I have some homemade wooden ones that I put together but they are rotting through:( - Zinnias are MY favorite cut flower. And I love bringing in irises in in the spring. They just smell soooo good! Mom's favorite was carnations. - I use paper as well. I put my notebook on a clipboard. This way I can take it with me out to the garden. - I haven't had good luck with watermelon OR canteloupes here in Idaho. I gave up on them as well. - It took me a few years to finally settle on three tomatoes that I really love the taste of, that fruit a lot and that can handle the dryness out here. For cherry tomatoes, I grow the Supwer Sweet 100. Perfect size for my salads and plentiful. The two red tomatoes that I love are the Roma for canning and the Summer Set for slicing. All of them are red:)
@@happyheartgardening yes, squash bugs are a constant battle. I love zinnias. There are SO many colors. I hope the raised beds work well for you. I'll check into those types of tomatoes. Thanks for the suggestions!
It sounds as though everyone loves the yellow/gold raspberries. We're definitely going to plant some of those. I have grown calendula for medicinal uses, but I never even thought of them for cut flowers....but they are really pretty. Thanks for the idea.
Shelling peas! I plant more and more of those spring and fall. I actually was picking them through November this year with the warmer temps. Highly frost tolerant.
Do you spray your fruit trees with a organic spray? Also a pruning video would be fun to see! Just before Christmas was a great time for this video! We all need to be excited for our next garden season!
Yes, he sprays the fruit trees with various organic sprays. He did have to use non-organic early last summer.....the organic sprays just weren't getting rid of the pests and we didn't want to lose all of our apples & peaches. He's done some pruning in videos, but not a video dedicated to that. We'll put it on our list for next summer. I'm glad I'm not the only one excited about next garden season.
Yellow Raspberries have a bunch of positive feedback. They are going to be a definite! THANKS! Enjoy your Johhny's Seed catelog. Nothing better on a cold winter night than browsing through seed catelogs. 😊
Good afternoon.. I just have to say, I love your channel and enjoy everything.. I have been binge watching.. I’m in northern Michigan and I’m counting down to spring. We have 2 tunnels and they are amazing to grow food. Have a Blessed day.
Thanks so much for the kind words. We're so glad you enoy our videos. InNorthern Michigan, you probably really need tunnels. I hope you have a great season next year. Thanks for watching.
Everyone seems to love yellow raspberries. I'll definitely be planting some of them. I do have some daisies, but should probably get more going....and echinacea. Thanks for the suggestions!
What do at 73 is mow down the old strawberry's then take a potato fork and dig them all up. then I plant blue berries bushes in that place. Because the ground has been acidified but the straw and pine chips that have been put around and into the ground,
Started collecting my seeds at the end of summer clearance and just did my order for the remainder of what I wanted to grow this year. I decided on the "Mexican Midgets" for cherry tomatoes (Seed Savers). It is touted as "great for market gardens". As for melons, I have had lame results and this year decided on only one which is pretty if nothing else. I got it from Baker Creek and it's called "Kajari". My husband gets tickled when I pull out the seed catalogs when there is still snow on the ground...but we dreamers (gardeners) can dream...right? I learned to wait to plant squash and cucumbers until June 1st via direct sow. By the time the plants emerge the squash bug season is over the worst and the plants have a better chance of not being eaten and I'm in Zone 6A (northern Michigan - Zone 5 but along the coast it's warmer 6A). Also plant marigolds EVERYWHERE in the garden at the end of the rows to deter the pests. Merry New Year!
I may try the Mexican Midgets...thanks! Gardeners can definitely dream...it's half the fun. I've tried planting marigolds and nasturtiums around the squash, but the squash bugs don't seem deterred. They are a real challenge. Happy New Year to you too!
Brenda, for flowers, I'd recommend Asters--they are beautiful and last up to 2 weeks in a vase. Johnny's sells lots of colors. As for cherry tomatoes: Honeydrop from Fruition seeds is the best i have ever tasted. I only grow that variety because it is prolific, incredibly sweet, and flavorful, and they come in shades of red, yellow, and peach. I ordered a packet 4 years ago and fell in love with them. Everyone who has tried them loves them. Highly recommend!
Boysenberries are our absolute favorite berry - more elongated, so good in the taste. More challenging to grow than a blackberry but I know you can do it!
I've never had Kohlrabi, but I may have to give it a try. I may have to give away some black cherry tomatoes just to get people to taste them. There are so many scrumptious tomatoes that aren't red. Thanks for the ideas.
Hello there! Tomatoes of different colors were always had to sell. When I managed a Farmers Market, we had samples of tomatoes that people could try. It was amazing how they sold afterwards. Maybe if you had a sample tray of the different colors of tomatoes people could try and then maybe they would buy. You could have a tray with a netting to keep the bugs out. Just a suggestion. We moved to Florida 9B, and I am having to learn to grow all over again. Just sand here. I always look forward to your videos. :)
That's how I got people to try Cherokee purple....give some away for people to try. I may have to try it with anything 'new' to our customers. Yes, FL would be very different gardening. Thanks for the suggestions!
For your salad greens try putting shade cloth over them to extend your season. I live in South Florida and I use shade cloth a lot during the summer in order to grow anything. I am actually in the middle of my growing season right now.
It's so exciting to think that in a couple of months, let the planting begin.😊 As far as a beautiful Prolific , red medium round Tomato, have you ever tried Jet Star? They are great for slicing, make a nice sauce, and they freeze well too.
I like all of the Spring bulb flowers and the best part is they come back every year. Try some tulips, crocus and daffodils! I'm also a fan of lilies, gladiolus and iris! Pussy willow and other flowering bushes can be used as cut flowers and come back every year--less work than planting every year!! Husk cherry tomatoes, better boy or better girl slicing tomatoes. Love a great big beefsteak tomato on a sandwich during the summer.
I may try some bulbs. I never thought of pully willows, but they would be gorgeous. Thanks for the tomato suggestions! I'm going to write them all down and give some of them a try.
There are actually a few peonies around the farmhouse. I never seem to pick them at the right time. I'll have to do some more research and maybe even propogate some of them. Thanks for the idea.
I'd never heard of a conebush, but after looking them up, they are beautiful. I'll have to look into whether they can grow in our zone. Thanks for the idea.
Big Beef tomatoes - tried and true for us (Arkansas/Oklahoma/Missouri). Those are the states we've grown those in. We do stonewall cucumbers (Hoss Seeds) and then we always do an English Cucumber too (our farmer's market customers love them).
Have you tried shade cloth on your lettuce? I grow my lettuce behind a cedar tree and it works really well. I commented on a video before but I want to say it again, I really think you should try growing dahlias this year. My favourite is Cafe au lait. They are stunning and will be a slam dunk for your stand!
I have tried shade cloth, but it's so hot that doesn't help enough. I may need to somehow plant lettuce in some shady spot. plus use shade cloth...not sure where that would be, but that might help. I will be trying dahlias. They are so pretty. Some people in my area have been able to overwinter them----especially if they are in a high tunnel. Thanks!
I’m not positive which variety we have,,,either Golden Ann or Ann Golden,,,or Double Gold Raspberries,,,they were given to us,,,they give us two harvests per season! So far, no issues with them,,,They are softer, no seeds, love seeing them again in September! We also have the Doyle Blackberries,,,no seeds or thorns! If I lived closer to you I’d gladly share both with you!
Also I told myself I’m going to plant a lot more calendula next year,,,once it got established, I picked it everyday, clear up till November! Ohio was pretty warm this year into the Fall, so maybe that’s a lot of why it bloomed and bloomed….
@@annaoberhauser3383 Thanks for the tips. I'll check out those varieties of gold raspberries. I'm definitelyh going to be planting some of those. I did have a few calendula and they did to very well. I may have to plant more of it this year too. Thanks!
Have you tried ground cherries? We enjoy them and they are harvested over a long period. They fall on the ground and I pick them later. We really enjoy yellow raspberries fresh, there my husband favourite but they do not look too great cooked especially mixed with red (I let you imagine what it looks like). Have a good season of rest and garden dreams, I'm excited about next year too!
I haven't tried ground cherries. I'll have to look into them. So far everyone loves yellow raspberries so I'll definitely get some of those. Thanks for the info! I'm glad I'm not the only one excited about next year's garden.
Ann yellow rasberries, give you spring and fall harvests, verrrrry good! Also try sorghum for flour or food for hens. Check out Green Permaculture, he said you can take cuttings while dormant. Shove in the ground and have new plants in the spring.
Several people have said that yellow raspberries are worth it. I'm definitely going to be planting some. I'll also look into sorghum...thanks. I'll also check out Green Permacultur....I've never seen that channel before. Thanks for the tip.
Have you done any videos on using your marshmallow? I have some called malvea which I guess is the same. Love to learn how to use it! Love your videos!
@@danielleosentoski520 I'm still learning how to use all of my herbs and hope to do videos next year. I was so busy this past summer that I missed the time to harvest some of them. I'm hoping to do better next summer.
Have you tried shade cloth on your lettuce? I grow my lettuce behind a cedar tree and it works really well. I commented on a video before but I want to say it again, I really think you should try growing dahlias this year. They are stunning and will be a slam dunk for your stand! For dried flowers I’d really recommend strawflowers and gomphrena
I did try shade cloth, but the lettuce still struggled. I may have to find a place that gets natural shade as well as using shade cloth. I think I will be giving dahlias a try. They are beautiful and some people in our area have been able to overwinter them. I think I should be able to do that in our high tunnel????
If you watch the Veggie Boys channel, they had great luck with their tomato crop this year. They are located in Pennsylvania too and operate a farmer's market. Not sure what varieties they grow, but their seeding videos might say. The varieties of melons are very different here in Texas, so no recommendations.
My thoughts 🤔 Sun Gold and Yellow Pear yellow cherry tomatoes. Grape and Tiger Stripe cherry tomatoes. Better Boy (#1 always) for slicing (haven't found better, but interested in recommendations). Amish Paste (over romas which doesn't grow as well for us, hit or miss), Beefsteak, Brandywine, and Celebrity for canning.
I'll look into those types of cherry tomatoes. I did Better Boy a few years ago, but that was the year that none of my tomatoes did well....I'll have to give them another try. I do the Amish Paste for sauce, but the Romas are better for sun-dried tomatoes. The Amish Paste are just so big and meaty they take too long to dry well. I will look into the other slicing tomatoes. THANKS!
@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 I mostly use Amish Paste for tomato sauce and paste. I LOVE sun-dried tomatoes but haven't made them yet. Perhaps you made a video and I didn't catch it. If not, please complete one. I would love to see it.
Heirloom seed for cantalope and watermelon are so much better and grow so much better . s fr as blue berries save your pine scraps and pine needles an lawn clippings to use for mulch for them, will make a huge difference. Tomatoes love lawn clippings s well. Strawberries cn be grown so much easier in 55 gallon drums , 50 to 75 plants per drum , easier to maintain and pick . Also try growing peanuts from raw peanuts from grocery store .
I'll have to check to see if the canteloups were heirloom. I they weren't maybe I'll try a plant or two of heirloom. I love canteloupe so I hope I don't have to give up. We don't have many pines around here, but I have friends with pines. Maybe I'll check to see if I can get some of theirs. I've never heard of strawberries in drums, but I'll check into that. Thanks!
I usually do most of the planting, but sometimes I get help from family. Planting is the easiest part...then comes the weeding and then harvesting. I hire a teenager two mornings a week during the summer to help with those things.
I PROMISE you will not be displeased with Diva cucumbers!! Try it!! You will add them to your garden notebook. Promise! Let me know if you try my recommendation and your thoughts. The flavor is amazing!! Diva 🥒
Bachelor's buttons. Tomatoes that I like are beefsteak. Also don't use a tablet. You won't be able to see it outdoors. The sunlight won't allow you to.
I'll look into Bachelor's buttons. A couple of people have recommeded beefsteak. I'll check those out. That's great about the tablet....I can stay with my paper maps and notes. 😊

I heard this from a different gardener- "the main thing a winter garden grows is enthusiasm for next year!"
VERY TRUE!!!!!
The yellow raspberries are very good. They are so sweet
I agree! Very tender, less seedy with a mildly sweet flavor.
Quite a few people have said that. I'm definitely going to be adding some yellow raspberries.Thanks!
I think I'm going to have to give them a try. Thanks!
My thoughts 🤔
Yellow raspberries, or Gold, are awesome. Sweet and makes a fantastic jam, and cranberry and gold raspberry chutney (pecans). Plus adds variety and color to a fruit platter.
Boysenberries - I don't have any of these, but after looking them up, I want to try this year.
Try blueberry plants in a container or raised bed (deep roots so at least 3 foot deep and wide). You can control the soil acidity and adding sulfur to help. You can put rebar with a handle in a few places around the plant. The roots will grow around it over the years. Each month, you can pull the rebar out and add the amendments and then, put it back in the soil. It is my family's favorite fruit from the orchard next to black raspberries. They continuously produce all summer long. A fresh from the shrub blueberry is the best and worth the extra work, YUM!

I have tried shade cloth, but it's so hot that doesn't help enough. I may need to somehow plant lettuce in some shady spot. plus use shade cloth...not sure where that would be, but that might help. I will be trying dahlias. They are so pretty. Some people in my area have been able to overwinter them----especially if they are in a high tunnel. Thanks!
Hungarian heart are good slicers and canning and they don't have many blemishes
Thanks....I'll check them out.
Sweet Success cucumbers great.I love Red Snapper tomatoes. They are sold from Hoss Tool.
I'll put them on the list of things to try. THANKS!
I’m not positive which variety we have,,,either Golden Ann or Ann Golden,,,or Double Gold Raspberries,,,they were given to us,,,they give us two harvests per season! So far, no issues with them,,,They are softer, no seeds, love seeing them again in September! We also have the Doyle Blackberries,,,no seeds or thorns! If I lived closer to you I’d gladly share both with you!
Also I told myself I’m going to plant a lot more calendula next year,,,once it got established, I picked it everyday, clear up till November! Ohio was pretty warm this year into the Fall, so maybe that’s a lot of why it bloomed and bloomed….
@@annaoberhauser3383 Thanks for the tips. I'll check out those varieties of gold raspberries. I'm definitelyh going to be planting some of those. I did have a few calendula and they did to very well. I may have to plant more of it this year too. Thanks!
Have you tried ground cherries? We enjoy them and they are harvested over a long period. They fall on the ground and I pick them later. We really enjoy yellow raspberries fresh, there my husband favourite but they do not look too great cooked especially mixed with red (I let you imagine what it looks like). Have a good season of rest and garden dreams, I'm excited about next year too!
I haven't tried ground cherries. I'll have to look into them. So far everyone loves yellow raspberries so I'll definitely get some of those. Thanks for the info! I'm glad I'm not the only one excited about next year's garden.
Ann yellow rasberries, give you spring and fall harvests, verrrrry good!
Also try sorghum for flour or food for hens.
Check out Green Permaculture, he said you can take cuttings while dormant. Shove in the ground and have new plants in the spring.
Several people have said that yellow raspberries are worth it. I'm definitely going to be planting some. I'll also look into sorghum...thanks. I'll also check out Green Permacultur....I've never seen that channel before. Thanks for the tip.
@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 should have green willow permaculture
Have you done any videos on using your marshmallow? I have some called malvea which I guess is the same. Love to learn how to use it! Love your videos!
@@danielleosentoski520 I'm still learning how to use all of my herbs and hope to do videos next year. I was so busy this past summer that I missed the time to harvest some of them. I'm hoping to do better next summer.

For dried flowers I’d really recommend strawflowers and gomphrena
I did try shade cloth, but the lettuce still struggled. I may have to find a place that gets natural shade as well as using shade cloth. I think I will be giving dahlias a try. They are beautiful and some people in our area have been able to overwinter them. I think I should be able to do that in our high tunnel????
If you watch the Veggie Boys channel, they had great luck with their tomato crop this year. They are located in Pennsylvania too and operate a farmer's market. Not sure what varieties they grow, but their seeding videos might say. The varieties of melons are very different here in Texas, so no recommendations.
THANKS! I've seen their videos in passing, but I'll have to check out some of them to see what they plant.
Calendulas grow like weeds…are yellow or Orange & will come up voluntarily next year. They are happy daisy like blooms.
I did have a few calendulas last year, but I need to plant a lot more this year. Thanks!
My thoughts 🤔
Sun Gold and Yellow Pear yellow cherry tomatoes. Grape and Tiger Stripe cherry tomatoes. Better Boy (#1 always) for slicing (haven't found better, but interested in recommendations). Amish Paste (over romas which doesn't grow as well for us, hit or miss), Beefsteak, Brandywine, and Celebrity for canning.
I'll look into those types of cherry tomatoes. I did Better Boy a few years ago, but that was the year that none of my tomatoes did well....I'll have to give them another try. I do the Amish Paste for sauce, but the Romas are better for sun-dried tomatoes. The Amish Paste are just so big and meaty they take too long to dry well. I will look into the other slicing tomatoes. THANKS!
@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 I mostly use Amish Paste for tomato sauce and paste. I LOVE sun-dried tomatoes but haven't made them yet. Perhaps you made a video and I didn't catch it. If not, please complete one. I would love to see it.
Birds drop the seeds often called volunteers!
I seem to get volunteer asparagus all over the place.
Have you ever tried watermelon radish they aren't hot and so good! They are white with pink in side very good.
I've never heard of watermelon radish, but just looking at pics of them, they are gorgeous! I may have to try them. Thanks!
Heirloom seed for cantalope and watermelon are so much better and grow so much better . s fr as blue berries save your pine scraps and pine needles an lawn clippings to use for mulch for them, will make a huge difference. Tomatoes love lawn clippings s well. Strawberries cn be grown so much easier in 55 gallon drums , 50 to 75 plants per drum , easier to maintain and pick . Also try growing peanuts from raw peanuts from grocery store .
I'll have to check to see if the canteloups were heirloom. I they weren't maybe I'll try a plant or two of heirloom. I love canteloupe so I hope I don't have to give up. We don't have many pines around here, but I have friends with pines. Maybe I'll check to see if I can get some of theirs. I've never heard of strawberries in drums, but I'll check into that. Thanks!
Who helps you plant all that? That's a lot!
I usually do most of the planting, but sometimes I get help from family. Planting is the easiest part...then comes the weeding and then harvesting. I hire a teenager two mornings a week during the summer to help with those things.
We have yellow raspberries, but i'm always unsure werher they are ripe or not 😅 so i'm not planting those again!
Hmmm.....that could be a problem. It's very easy with red and black. I'll have to check into that before I plant them. Thanks!
I forgot to ask how your nut trees did this year? I recall in a videos you were going to plant hazelnut trees?
The nut trees just went in last summer. Hopefully they will all make it throught the winter.
I PROMISE you will not be displeased with Diva cucumbers!! Try it!! You will add them to your garden notebook. Promise! Let me know if you try my recommendation and your thoughts. The flavor is amazing!! Diva 🥒
I'll definitely give them a try....thanks for the suggestions.
Jet star
Jet star tomatoes
@@janiceclark2192 Thanks! I've heard that from a few other people too.
Bachelor's buttons. Tomatoes that I like are beefsteak. Also don't use a tablet. You won't be able to see it outdoors. The sunlight won't allow you to.
I'll look into Bachelor's buttons. A couple of people have recommeded beefsteak. I'll check those out. That's great about the tablet....I can stay with my paper maps and notes. 😊
