Better Gardening Through Genetics (Goodstream

[@j.reneewhite915]

It makes me sooooo happy when good people who understand that kids are their treasure have another gorgeous baby!!!

[@j.l.emerson592]

Check Dr. Alan Kapular & Carol Deppe's work on veggie & fruit breeding. Dr. Kapular (aka/mushroom) likes to dehybridize popular hybrids. Carol Deppe breeds for locally adapted cultivars that are also bred for better nutritional profiles. They're both fairly legendary plant breeders. Carol Deppe has published several books on home plant breeding.

What a beautiful child . Congratulations to you all. May God bless this child with wisdom and grace . ❤️

[@tamararoberts9307]

I raised my 4 children, a grandson, and have 13 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren and will be 60 in April . Glad I started young because I'm feeling my age now lol

[@amyrea4451]

I raised 5 and have 8 grandbabies so far, from two children. God is good and babies are a gift. David, God bless you and Rachel for your generosity to the service of life! You have a beautiful family. 🙏🙌

[@carolschedler3832]

Baby Jenny!!!!! Congratulations 🍾🎈🎉 Rachael, David and siblings!!! She is absolutely precious and yes! Beautiful!!!

[@adrianrobinson1336]

the bees create all sorts of weird mixed radishes here in my garden because we have wild radishes here in Australia.

[@bettylane6982]

Congratulations and glad that baby Jenny and Rachael are well. Let God receive the glory! Merry Christmas for sure!

[@AM-dc5yz]

Praise God that prayers were answered and mama and baby are both safe and healthy! She is adorable and so blessed to be born into such a wonderful family.

[@AM-dc5yz]

Or should I say good family. 🥁 Okay I'll see myself out 🤣

[@annmiller154]

Congratulations on Little Jenny! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@melissakingery4393]

Omg I want to see the adorable baby!! You have 10 babies???? Wow!!

[@gershhayes796]

A friend of mine had told me that this was Lester Burbank's secret, he would sometimes plant a million seeds looking for unique qualities. It should also be pointed out that the burbank potato 🥔 was grown from seed by Lester..it is pretty rare to see potatoes grown from seed but Lester was always looking for the random chance that genetics can play in nature. He is worth looking into as he really did make a difference.

[@davidthegood]

Yes!

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

Congratulations! 🌺🌼🌸🌹🌻 welcome, Jenny!

[@abou8963]

And the Landrace idea is interesting. You have identified the plants easy to grow in this crazy weather zone. Now you are producing hardy varieties and hybrids for your soil and climate. Thank you for making gardening easy to understand.

[@DGoodrich]

Love it brother, congrats! We thought our kid was the most adorable thing ever when he was born. He's two now, and actually is, but looking back at the first pictures, we're like, "who is that monster!" Always appreciate you!

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

This was so interesting and informative... Thanks for the inspiration to mix and match.

[@williamvillar7134]

My Louisiana Sweet citrus trees I bought when I was a kid (30 years ago) working the Produce department at Delchamps died to the ground and came back as the sour orange root stock. I'm planning on germinating the seeds and using them as root stock for other citrus. My apple seedling experiment was put on hold when the deer ate all of my new apple trees to the ground. Some of our Pak Choi bolted due to the unseasonably warm temps but we did eat quite a bit of it in soups. I'll try and save seed from them, the local feed & seed won't have any seeds in until at least January. I'll be growing it from now on in my Fall, Winter and Spring garden. I've bought and planted several varieties of peach that mature at different times in the season as well as some seed grown trees that I look forward to watching mature.

[@sheilaackers3854]

Congratulations 🎆 she is so beautiful 💖

[@charitysmith5245]

Aww, little Jenny is truly beautiful! Congrats mom and dad! North Georgia candy roaster squash is my absolute favorite winter squash so far. I’m sure I have a few seeds in my box o goodies if you want to give em a go.

[@kathleensanderson3082]

Congratulations! She really is adorable!

[@ericcawith2cs11]

Congratulations! She really is a perfect little angel. So lovely! Many hugs and praying Rachel has a blessed fourth trimester and you all may have the most precious and cozy of Christmas's.

[@rgb5031]

AWWWWW She's a beautiful baby!!!

[@brentonihms]

David, you are glowing.

[@davidthegood]

Haha

[@bill5086]

Welcome to the garden, Jenny the Good!

[@johnnyroadcrew3841]

Congrats to you all from sunny Yorkshire. Glad youre all doing well. Jenny has a good nose, cute .. .. ..Ive done the three year thing with garlic and agree they got more used to the soil and appear stronger and taste great. Also had giant banana squash going for a few years now.

[@GrandmasFoodGarden]

Mind-blowing (or at least expanding)! Thank you so much 💗

[@koicaine1230]

Awe! Jenny is the cutest!!!! Congratulations!!!!

[@ivahihopeful]

Glad you’re feeling better.

[@davidthegood]

Congratulations on your precious blessing! Ponderosa lemons grow well in my area of 8b.

[@wayfaringfarmer2724]

Grats Brother !!! HalleluYah

[@c.j.rogers2422]

Congratulations, my friend! God bless you and yours.

[@joannmcculley8253]

My lemon cucumber crossed with a pickling cucumber and volunteered this year...the result was a florescent yellow, orangish colored, 5 to 6 inch long cucumber...of you didn't catch it in time, it tasted horribly bitter...if you find it quick enough it was a nice, slightly lemon flavor

[@abou8963]

🤣 You are goofy today! Congratulations!!! She is beautiful! Welcome, Jenny!

[@maroosk]

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

[@j.l.emerson592]

Try any Porter tomato. They were bred for hot climates. The now defunct Porter & Sons Seedsman was based in central Texas... (Smithville I think) They did very well in our hot dry climate. They might do well for you.

[@sandrastyles1705]

Congratulations.

[@qualqui]

Missed the Goodstream David, but here just finished watching the whole replay! Congratulations buddy, here in Mexico if a girl is born, Dad gives out chocolates, if its a boy, a smelly ol' cigar! lol....Glad to hear Miss Rachel is fine, as is the baby girl, Brian mentioned in the chat her name is Jenny.and wishing ya an IRIE thursday, 2 days before Christmas!

[@angelallen7535]

Yay!! I was wondering when she was gonna pop! Great job guys. Congrats on that beautiful baby girl! Thanks for sharing.

[@takeitslowhomestead5218]

Congratulations 💕

[@faitholin2716]

Congratulations! Welcome baby the good. 💕

[@denisedaigle7006]

Awesome congratulations

[@keystoneken5032]

Congrats, mom & dad! The Seminole and Waltham have been crossed...the Southanna pumpkin was produced by Virginia breeders.

[@julieclark1331]

Beautiful 🥰

[@melissakingery4393]

She can't be the cutest baby because my mom said I was lol!! She is truly a gorgeous baby, if she wasn't I'd say something like all babies are so wonderful!!!lol Congrats!!

[@ivahihopeful]

Great video! Congratulations on the bebe!

[@tamararoberts9307]

Congratulations on the new baby! Babies are always a blessing and Jenny is so very beautiful 😍 💖 so exciting!

[@tamararoberts9307]

Wishing y'all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year and many blessings!

[@jarnurse100]

Congratulations to you both!

[@GrimbolTheDruid]

We got a foot of snow last night and it’s still going so I got you on, listening while I plow. Thanks for all the good thought provoking content man. 🙏🙏🙏

[@crazedfamilygardens]

Congrats!! Beautiful baby!!

[@RobertTozzi]

Congratulations on the new edition!

[@derekclawson4236]

Congrats on the baby and thank the Lord safely. I bought some sort of hybrid Seminole pumpkin when I was in south Florida a few weeks ago. Supposed to be hardy yet the vines only run about 6 feet. Developed by one of the colleges here. If you want seeds hit me up. Otherwise have another Seminole that runs like crazy and makes good pumpkins just not super large. Let me know.

[@debbiemoore4228]

Congrats on the newest princess. You might consider your back wall behind you to display your DTG books🌻

[@Austinandpup]

Congratulations on the new baby! I ordered some of the seminole pumpkin seeds from your daughter.

[@GypsyBrokenwings]

🎊 congratulations! What a cutie!

[@GypsyBrokenwings]

I'm trying for climate tolerant plants right now. Getting in the 20s tonight, lol.

[@JoyoftheGardenandHome]

Congratulations for baby J❤

[@bluetickgardening8974]

This inspires me. I am going to start saving my top performers this year.

[@ablacksquare]

Congratulations!!

[@moniquegebeline4350]

I miss you! Been working and recently had rotator cuff repair so I’m down to one hand. Xoxo

[@davidthegood]

Oh man - I hope you get better quickly.

[@greenteafinch9833]

I WANT TO SEE THE BABY! CONGRATULATIONS!!

[@anitamurphy2454]

Wow! Almost 9 pounds! Beautiful baby girl, congratulations!

[@nancyseery2213]

Your household might not be one in a million, but rest assured, you are all one of a kind! I think sometimes the whole world is happy that we can't clone!

[@julianadelion5497]

2 more for an even dozen babies. Did you read Cheaper by the dozen. Not only entertaining but very inspiring. I think you would love it.

[@davidthegood]

I read it as a teenager. Great book.

[@theresasuttle711]

Yes!!

[@davethebeard2706]

I am the youngest of 7, I have 8 of my own, my oldest sister has 10.... Big family's are the way to go. I'm very glad I found your channel you have the same mindset I do and I love it. It's funny you mentioned the issue with all the hype about veriaties that "do great" in this area or that. We live in Northwest Georgia and Cherokee Purple tomatoes are harloom that are supposed to do great here.... They NEVER do well here! Yet Roma and cherries do amazingly, go figure.... You have any suggestions for the vile Georgia red clay soil? So far we rotate our chicken yard. That has helped a lot with the crap ground we have, but not enough....

[@ourrockydreamontheelephant4188]

Kinda had a Dr Leo Marvin moment there. Baby steps.

[@reeferfranklin]

This same method could be used to make more heat-tolerant crops down here in Plant City (an odd microclimate that almost mimics zone 10, I call it Zone 9c)...Lord knows we could use more Florida-style Yankee crops like Seminole Pumpkins & Everglade Tomatoes.

[@reeferfranklin]

I always thought you could do a survival style method & then use brix count to fine-tune your selections, because a plant that produces a higher brix count under conditions of privation would obviously be very nutrient dense under ideal conditions.

[@davidthegood]

I agree.

[@reeferfranklin]

@@davidthegood at only $150-$450 I don't see why I wouldn't grab a refractometer & put it to work, I've certainly wasted far more money on far dumber things in my life.

[@ShoalsChickens]

I wish we had time left to try this.

[@davidthegood]

Do you think the world is done?

[@PascaltheOtter]

Aah well artichokes grow in my 8b during fall/winter I never would have guessed that.Aren't they meditteranean? I am trying to neglect them right now

[@Kevs2tuff]

What about Yuzu lemons?

[@cguercia311]

I am going to buy the book, looks interesting, but how is this different from what make shepherd did? I know M.S. did trees, but isn't it the same principle? S.T.U.N.

[@Kevs2tuff]

I heard it can survive up In zone 5

[@bobaloo2012]

Sure, new fruit varieties can be found from seedlings, just plant 1,000's of them, lots of luck. Where I live there are tons of wild apple trees, grown from seeds from homestead orchards. All Fall I sample those apple, out of over 100 trees there's 1 of them that didn't result in immediate spitting. There's a reason grafting has been around for over 3,000 years. Now some fruits are more prone to good seedlings, like peaches and apricots, your chancesa re much better with those. Do your homework before investing. years in growing a tree.

[@davidthegood]

You can easily graft to change any type you don't like later. It just depends: are you adventurous or not? Some of those old orchards were pollinated by crabapples, too. If you do find a good one that isn't a spitter, be sure to save it.

Congratulations, Goodman family and welcome, Jenny!!! She's a beauty, Dave. Don't stop having children. Have as many as you can. ~ Lisa

Mozel tov!

[@ussgil]

Wow! 9 pounds! Congratulations!!

[@elijahsanders3547]

Great video, thank you for sharing! God created all the genetic diversity at Creation. It gives variation within the kind as it moves to different locations. Can go from a wolf to a chiwahwa(spelling?) through selection, but you could not go the other way around without re-introducing lost genetics. Consequently, we can take advantage of this and select and reintroduce genetic traits that we like. God is good! Thank You Jesus!

[@davidthegood]

I agree.

[@user-ic2ug8ys1z]

1st! 😀

[@charitysmith5245]

Anyone who has Seminole pumpkin seeds that would be willing to do a trade or sell them to me?

[@catholicbeforeamerican4889]

2nd 🤓

[@tradermunky1998]

Your genetics arguments are great for personal eating. But if your pumpkin isn't that orange Halloween pumpkin, nobody will buy it. You know the way humans work 🤣

[@THEGROWITS]

congrats!!! but this lick makes me want to get out the guitar

[@tradermunky1998]

Yay, baby! Congratulations to the whole family! 10nth on the solstice. Interesting. Solstices are important to farmers! 👍 (And occultist, but we won't talk about that 😆)

[@swalker157]

I can see the appeal and appreciate the method but the God of the universe forbids sewing divers seed(lev 19:19) and large scale variety mixing(deut 22:9). I think it comes down to three points. God said don’t do it. You may find one novel beneficial property at the cost of 20 that took generations of selective breeding to isolate. And the general genetics is a pandoras box aka Jurassic park aka you were so preoccupied with whether you could, you didn't stop to think if you should.

[@TomSmithluthier]

Wow

[@honeybee52000]

Plenty of scripture to quote, that would argue against this. Please consider the approach and audience before thumping a faith-filled gardener with an old bible.

[@cmcsonar1]

Congratulations!!!!
