So cool how you all can grow so much. Im in 5A, NH. I have a 36x36 plot and a 17x30 plot.......and have only been harvesting peas and lettuce for a couple three weeks. All my other stuff is starting to come on now and i should have a ton of food. That said, I already need to start my trays for my Fall crop!!!! Crazyness! So thats my succession planting plan haha. Spring to fall, just like that! So bizzare that im still waiting to harvest my spring crop and already need to start my fall one.
Amen about those Mac Pack cucumbers, no disease and powdered mildew.First time ever planting. We sell produce and people just love these cucumbers, so much better than regular picking cucumbers! Love also the round zucchini. So good ! Cooked me a pan ful this evening. Love the videos. What kind of runner beans were those? Thanks ! Marlene acFarmer from SC/ school bus driver/ poultry growers! Happy Planting!
Ive been on a roll watching planting videos. But i kill everything i plant. While my next-door neighbors have 9 fruit trees and they just served me a dish made from her pumpkin flowers 😋 so good!
I'm about to put in a second round of Green Machine zucchini--which I'm trying for their disease resistance. So far so good! I've also got plants started for Long Keeper tomatoes to go in next month. The idea is to pick them green before frost and they slowly ripen in storage throughout the winter. I'm in Virginia and kind of guessed on the timing, so we'll see how it goes!
What I do for another harvest of tomatoes is use the suckers.from my first batch and put them straight onto the ground. This gives me a good head start. We are in some 9a so we have plenty of time for second harvests. This harvest is 7 feet tall already, but with 100 degree days and no rain they do struggle for a while till the rainy season comes.
As your neighbor to the north, in the mountains of Virginia, I try not to be jealous of how long your growing season is. I wish your seed catalog let me sort for cold hardiness. Can you recommend any seeds from your catalog that might be best for us. FYI our last frost date is 5/15 and first frost 9/30. Thanks
Travis, your garden is beautiful! Appreciate your review of the Max Pack cucumbers. Thank you. It is not a variety that I've ever grown, but am willing to check it out for 2021. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA -- 3:45 am -- 7/1/2020.
Hello gentlemen thanks for everything. Couple questions...First if you have a small garden can you just plant all of your succession in the same plot? And then the next growing season do crop rotation. Second do you have to worry about your taller plants shading your smaller plants. It doesn’t seem like you do. Is it because your plots are so open And because you have so much space in between rows? I’m not familiar with the traditional gardening learning from you guys I was previously doing square foot
We don't really have issues with shading because the tall stuff like corn or okra is usually planted in its own plot. You could certainly do all your successions in the same plot.
Love your plan coming together..does each of these taste differently? I use the zucchini leaves to make my patio pavers...i enjoyed eating and them making the pavers..looks awesome with the pizza oven i then made this year..so i can say too..nice when a plan comes together.im picking pole beans beside bush..saving space..I am in Indiana.
Hi Hoss Tools, so are your seeds stored and for how long, I know we have seeds stored by the Government that were of the first plantings of many years ago, and wondering why there was famine, so I am told and I ask you why aren't we able to get these, I love your channel and I know people who have grown your seeds and this you should be proud of! Great Channel!
All the seeds we sell are stored in a temperature and humidity controlled room. And they're all germ-tested every 9 months per the State of Georgia regulations, although most of them are usually shipped before that 9 months occurs. We are constantly bringing in fresh seed to make sure our customers have the best.
Great video..I started my 2nd season of cukes, squash, zucchini, tomatoes and here in Florida..I have limited space..but hoping to pickle or preserve what I can
Have y’all found that plants sowed in the summer are more tolerant of the heat? Here in NC some of my cucurbits wilt during the afternoon when it’s 80-90°F.
That is normal. When the temperatures get so hot, no amount of soil moisture can really help. They'll wilt a little in the afternoon and recover once the sun sets.
Fertilizing is different with every garden and even every crop. With that being said it would be hard to give a step by step on the how much, when and where to do this.
Gotta start spraying early. You can kill them all, but you can put a dent in the population. We like to use a rotation of spinosad and pyrethrin (both organic).
Not sure if I could plant anything this close to July and August, we will start hitting 100 to 110 degree days, everything in my garden dies from the heat. If you got any suggestions, I’m interested in hearing it!
I'm not really sure of what zone I'm in but I live in Jackson Mississippi. So it maybe zone 8. This is the first time I've grown vegetables in containers. When should I start ordering supplies like seeds, soil, fertilizer. Also how often should my plants be watered?
No, never had any deer issues. We do see them in the fields next to us all the time. We do have a fence around the main garden that was put up to keep the horses out.
@@gardeningwithhoss we’ve been at our current residence now for two years and going to establish our family garden this season. Just know how our flowers are attacked by the deer. Can only assume they be a nuisance for me in the garden too. But we’ll see thanks for the reply back.
Awesome zucchini n squash varieties. If i want to keep some of the various varieties for seed... then i would plant them far apart so they dont cross poliinat3 each other right? Never grew these b4 and just checking. Thx again for your wealth of knowledge!!!!
If it's an open-pollinated variety and not a hybrid, you can save the seed. But the isolation distance for squash is pretty far. I don't think growing lots of different varieties in the same plot would yield consistent results from the saved seed.
@@gardeningwithhoss thx for the tips!!! Was gonna try some of the S Anna butternut squash and the other B nut squash i just got from you and put them in seoarate raised boxes 20 feet away.. but will scrao that and only put in the S Anna for now and then other variety in Spring . Thx again. Love your Content, Row by Roq show and 3 min Tips!!
Potatoe bugs demolished my plants, so I dug up the potatoes. Can I put them back in the ground for a late harvest? Do potatoes have to have eyes growing on them before they're put in the ground? Asking for a friend 😁 how's the thornless blackberries doing?
Do you vary you fertilization schedule based on rain? We've had a tremendous amount of rain this spring which put my vegetables in water stress. I have been reluctant to fertilize through my drip system. I've also had very un-successful results with small seed over drip tape. Your thoughts?
No way to eliminate them completely, but we can manage the populations with our natural and organic pest control program. We talk about it here: ruclips.net/video/Hia-_ZEkquI/видео.html
I would love to know what you are doing for weed management on your zucchini plants. There was not a weed in there and it doesn't look rototilled or mulched.
Drip irrigation and frequent shallow cultivation with the wheel hoe. We also have a relatively low weed seed bank because we've managed our weeds over the years and usually prevent them from going to seed.
@@gardeningwithhoss We have alfalpha fields adjacent to our garden. Also I put about 6 tons of goat crap full of hay into the garden last fall. We are winning the battle with plastic mulch, shallow rototilling and ground cover but I would love to have a weed free bed like yours. It looks perfect.
We use drip irrigation, which only puts water right where the plants need it. And we believe in frequent, shallow cultivation at least once a week so weeds never get large.
We don't have issues with vine borers. We use a comprehensive spraying program that we mention here: ruclips.net/video/Hia-_ZEkquI/видео.html We also rotate our crops heavily so that pest and disease pressure doesn't accumulate and get worse in a given area.
We don't have issues with cucumber beetles, but we do battle pickleworms late in the season like it is now. We grow disease-resistant varieties like Max Pack and Pascola, which allows us to grow later in the summer.
Check under pots, rocks, leaves and things like that. That's where they hide. Pick them off and drop them in a glass of water with soap and bleach in it. I guarantee they won't bother you any more. I finally got rid of most of mine. It took a lot of time but it was worth it.☺🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Your garden looked amazing thank you for the information when you show the plants that is what helps me decide what to buy much appreciated
Glad it was helpful!
My cucumbers grew light in color but produced tons. We used Bush varieties and tons of pickling cucumbers.
The garden looks amazing Travis!
Thanks for watching, Elizabeth!

Some people have it, some don't. Somehow everything I plant, grows. Meanwhile my dad wouldn't be able to grow a patch of weeds to save his life.
Great job! We have a short growing season in Connecticut so I try to get in as many varieties as I can fit in my small space.
👍
Great to know.how well succession pllanting😊
I love Delicata squash.

Collards and spinach are cold hardy. So are beets and carrots. Elephant garlic is another great option.
@@gardeningwithhoss thanks. I ordered Collards and beets from yall already!. Really looking forward to those.
Your grandpa was in the A-team?? Awesome!
Just about to try squash & zuchini in pots, as so many extra seedlings& want too see if can have second harvest without bores? Experiment!
I planted slicing pickling and lemon cucumbers 3 varieties of squash and 2 plots of corn about 2 weeks apart
And trying your jumbalia okra about 2 weeks ago it up about 6 inches and going strong also tons of flowers zinnia and sunflowers
👍
Nice squash

I planted pumpkins with buckwheat to see how it did together as a exterminate and just planted some more yellow squash a got for y’all
Thanks for your order!
Wow. My grand pa was named pa too!!!
Your slick picks look wonderful. Why do you say they won't win a beauty contest? I'd enter those in my county fair.

They do each have a slightly different texture and taste, but not sure you could detect if blindfolded.

can u give a step by step on fertilizer
Fertilizing is different with every garden and even every crop. With that being said it would be hard to give a step by step on the how much, when and where to do this.
Please tell me what to use to kill squash bugs. And squash vine borers
Gotta start spraying early. You can kill them all, but you can put a dent in the population. We like to use a rotation of spinosad and pyrethrin (both organic).
Not sure if I could plant anything this close to July and August, we will start hitting 100 to 110 degree days, everything in my garden dies from the heat. If you got any suggestions, I’m interested in hearing it!
100 degrees is tough. We can't grow anything but sweet potatoes and okra when it gets that hot here.
When do you I plant collards and mustard greens in the fall in S.C
September
What is this 20/20/20 Texas Preper keeps talking about you sell and the plant booster ?
Our 20-20-20 and MicroBoost -- a great combination to feed your plants. You can see both here: hosstools.com/product-category/fertilizers/
How do you fight vine borerd and stink bugs in your squash
Gotta start a spraying program early and treat at least once a week. We use a rotation of our Take Down Garden Spray and Spinosad.
I'm not really sure of what zone I'm in but I live in Jackson Mississippi. So it maybe zone 8. This is the first time I've grown vegetables in containers. When should I start ordering supplies like seeds, soil, fertilizer. Also how often should my plants be watered?
Containers typically don't hold water very well. I'd water at least once a day -- twice if you could.
Do you have any deer issues. If so what do you do to keep them out of the garden. Currently we can’t keep a flower on pretty much after it blooms
No, never had any deer issues. We do see them in the fields next to us all the time. We do have a fence around the main garden that was put up to keep the horses out.

Pickle those squash
Potatoe bugs demolished my plants, so I dug up the potatoes. Can I put them back in the ground for a late harvest? Do potatoes have to have eyes growing on them before they're put in the ground? Asking for a friend 😁 how's the thornless blackberries doing?
Potatoes won't do well in the heat.
are the Max Pack a gynoecious variety?
Max Pack' is an indeterminate-monoecious hybrid
Did you train them to run up or did they go on their own? Great Video
We train them a little initially. But once they start climbing, they do it pretty well on their own.
Do you vary you fertilization schedule based on rain? We've had a tremendous amount of rain this spring which put my vegetables in water stress. I have been reluctant to fertilize through my drip system. I've also had very un-successful results with small seed over drip tape. Your thoughts?
We do somewhat. But if we can get a small window, we'll definitely try to make sure we get our fertilizing done.
This time of year, can you plant tomatoes seeds directly into the garden?
If your weed pressure was very low, might could get away with it. But starting in seed trays is always the best bet with tomatoes.
Does the different squashes have different flavors?
A little, but not sure you could tell the difference if blindfolded.
I love those pickling types! Do you feed your cukes any fert?
Yes, these like to be fed. We inject our 20-20-20 and MicroBoost through the drip system.
How many people do you have working with you to keep these gardens up?
Just me. The wife does help with harvesting.
What do you so to keep the squash bugs out of your garden ? Thanks
No way to eliminate them completely, but we can manage the populations with our natural and organic pest control program. We talk about it here: ruclips.net/video/Hia-_ZEkquI/видео.html
I use peppermint oil mixed w/water an a shot of hand soap. 1 to 2 ratio an spray after removal of leaves it seems to work. No bug problems so far🤞
I would love to know what you are doing for weed management on your zucchini plants. There was not a weed in there and it doesn't look rototilled or mulched.
Drip irrigation and frequent shallow cultivation with the wheel hoe. We also have a relatively low weed seed bank because we've managed our weeds over the years and usually prevent them from going to seed.

How do you not get any weeds to grow?
We use drip irrigation and we perform a light cultivation once a week so that weeds never get very large.
Hoss Tools I need to start doin that
What is your favorite corn variety so far
Really enjoyed the Avalon, but we'll have to see how this Temptress finishes to do a fair comparison.
@@gardeningwithhoss ill ask you again later in the year lol
Where do you get your seeds from?
hosstools.com/premium-garden-seeds/
@@gardeningwithhoss Thank you new subscriber
Welcome to the channel!
How do you grow a pickle?
You plant a pickling variety of cucumbers.
@@gardeningwithhoss Sorry I was being a smart a$$
We were aware.
Low cucumber beetle pressure there? How have none of your cucs succumbed to bacterial wilt?!
We don't have issues with cucumber beetles, but we do battle pickleworms late in the season like it is now. We grow disease-resistant varieties like Max Pack and Pascola, which allows us to grow later in the summer.
Don't you have slugs and snails there? I can't grow cucs because of them.
Don't have issues with snails or slugs. We'll get pickle worms though, which can be rough on a cucumber crop.
Check under pots, rocks, leaves and things like that. That's where they hide. Pick them off and drop them in a glass of water with soap and bleach in it. I guarantee they won't bother you any more. I finally got rid of most of mine. It took a lot of time but it was worth it.☺🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
