I recently found your channel, and was so excited with all your gardening content. I am also in Kansas (Anderson County), so it's nice to find someone in my same growing zone! I once took a year off growing squash also, hoping to avoid dealing with squash bugs. My experience was that they just destroyed other things that they had never touched in years past! I believe they prefer squash, but they will move on to something else if the squash is not there for them. I grow squash now for a "trap crop" if nothing else.

[@itsbreellis]

Thanks for sharing that! I was almost thinking that could be the case since I've always seen them around!

[@bluewolf4915]

I grew Burpee Super Sauce last summer and loved them. They're indeterminate but didn't really get over 3 feet. Lots of huge meaty tomatoes.

[@itsbreellis]

Good to know! Thanks for sharing!

[@rachelgalus]

I really enjoyed growing pole beans last year and won’t be growing bush next year. Purple podded was early and very productive but not my favorite taste/texture. Blue lake pole was great texture/taste but not as early or productive. This year I’m trying Seychelles. For paste tomatoes I grow indeterminates. I love pozzano and Santa Maria. So excited to see all your plans!

[@itsbreellis]

I actually thought of trying the Seychelles. Good to know about purple podded. I was debating but wasn't sure on that one! Thanks for sharing your experience!!

[@marrisawonders3345]

I do garden planning for a living and have found the best software to be the Farmers Almanac Garden Planner. It is really helpful in showing correct spacing and can be used for companion planting/intercropping as well!

[@emilu8214]

Growing up my neighbors had strawberries planted as part of their front yard landscaping and it looked nice

[@michellegordon1822]

I love seeing the garden content this time of year. Where I am the garden has been done for a few months and it's been a nice break but I'm starting to get exited again for next year. I ordered a bunch of seeds from MI Gardener as a Christmas gift for my brother and sister in law that just moved into a new house, so they'll be starting a brand new garden in the spring.

[@itsbreellis]

Thats awesome!! Hope you both have great seasons next year!

My New England 6b vine borer resistant squash this year was tromboncino squash and honeynut. The musquee de provence pumpkin did have a borer at one point, but the plant grew and rooted in enough places to out compete it! It was delicious roasted!

[@Crystalspets]

Your home looks so nice and cozy for the Christmas 🎄🎁 month nice plans for 2024 Kansas twin

[@itsbreellis]

Thank you!

[@amandarodgers9480]

La Roma 3 from totally tomatoes is a very good determinate paste tomato! I used them last year along with Amish Paste and the La Roma's out preformed the Amish Paste!

[@itsbreellis]

Thanks for sharing!!! Ill look into that variety!

[@saturnsk8r731]

Thank you so much for the Xmas cooking /baking/crafting! Love the way your area looks like winter! 80 degrees where I am! Love your content! Happy holidays 🎄!!

[@WillowsGreenPermaculture]

You could plant your pole beans on your luffa trellis, with your luffa if you decide to grow it, or with straw. You could also try the Three Sisters. Pole beans will grow like crazy on your trellis.

[@WillowsGreenPermaculture]

Meant to say 'or with squash' not 'or with straw'.

[@itsbreellis]

Thats a good idea!

[@bublhed]

I grew Amish paste for the first time this year. I was pretty impressed with them. They are indeterminate. Very meaty and sizable. I will definitely try out that bun recipe!

[@itsbreellis]

I need to give that variety a try again. I have terrible luck with cracking the year I tired but I always hear really good things about it!

[@rachelbonner]

Candy onions! Johnny’s says they are adapted for 33-40 degree latitudes. Storage: Laura from Garden Answer has had them store all year. Mine are still great now at 5 months (first year growing). 😊

[@itsbreellis]

Good to know! I was reading it could be a 3-4 month storage time but hearing how yours have stored its really good to know! Thanks for sharing!

[@morgan_inthe_garden]

Here in South Africa! The Heinz OP variety is a really good tomato for jams, sauces and the cooking part of using tomatoes!😁🍅

[@nancyfilsinger2619]

If you don’t want to grow luffa you could see if hops grows in your area. I love how the hops hang down and the vine grows super fast. I didn’t use the hops but even though they are done for the year, they are still pretty and swing in the breeze. I’m sure you could figure out something to do with them and then you can let me know. Haha. I’m in South Dakota and mine come back if I mulch them.

[@MovingBlanketStudio]

I like that half-moon stump table by the hose reel. You are awesome!

[@itsbreellis]

Thanks we cut down 3 trees a few years back and I have a few of them throughout the garden space! Makes it so nice to sit stuff down on! Natures coffee tables lol

[@Pursuit_Of_A_Homestead]

Omg I’ve been making the same buns lately and I can’t seem to keep any on hand…the family has been destroying them as soon as they come out of the oven 😂 they’re so good! Maybe one day I can actually have one with a burger before my kids gobble them up lol

[@itsbreellis]

Just a good staple recipe!!! If you never tried to freeze them they thaw perfectly! We love to toast them on a cast iron with butter to add even more flavor!!

[@sarahburke1576]

I think the overalls look great. I like that color on them!

[@itsbreellis]

Thank you!!

[@D4ni3773]

Shelby is a determinate, Roma tomato with good size to them. I’ve tried a few different roma tomato, most are on the smaller side. For reference, I’m Texas zone 8b. Great video!

[@JohnDoe-vm5pc]

You had me at a Cat in the video 😻

[@walkbyfaithfamily9177]

I have grown pole beans the last 4 yrs and have found that they dont really produce much until September. They are great for stocking the freezer, but I dont get to eat green beans during the summer. Also, it might be just the variety, but they are very stringy compared to bush beans. I should look for a stringless variety.

[@micjones20]

High mowing seeds has calibra onion seeds. I just ordered some

[@astridvondermoon2043]

I'm loving your content!

[@Sugi1971]

I think your cat found his prizzy, the big box!!!

[@itsbreellis]

Yes! Tried to sneak a peak lol

[@MoonHunterYT]

I saw this in a book I was reading and thought you might like to read it too. 🤍 In the fields of life, a harvest sometimes comes far out of season, when we thought the earth was old and could see no earthly reason to rise for work at break of dawn, and put our muscles to the test. With winter here and autumn gone, it just seems best to rest, to rest. But under winter fields so cold, wait the dormant seeds of seasons unborn, and so the heart does hold hope that heals all bitter lesions. In the fields of life, a harvest. -BOOK OF COUNTED SORROWS

[@SpellboundBrush]

I grew Jolene tomatoes this year and was really surprised by how well they did. Everything else struggled with the weird summer we had but the Jolene's kept producing right into November. They were a little weird to me - I usually grow slicing heirlooms, but these were like halfway between a slicer and a paste tomato.

[@SamanthaTwist]

Is there a difference between a freeze dryer and a food dehydrator?

[@abbyhurst1]

Are you changing anything now that the new guidelines are out for zones? I haven’t done enough reading on the changes, but I’m in Reno Co, KS and wondered what a more experienced gardener was going to do in 2024. Thank you! I always love your videos 😊

[@itsbreellis]

Honestly probably not too much. Our frost dates haven't shifted much so It will probably be really close to how Ive done things the last few years.

[@abbyhurst1]

Thank you for your reply 😊

[@user-kn4mm8tx6y]

Bre..you my heart smile.shamim✔🤹💏👏🌟

[@wendygonzalez2532]

Hi Bre! Hey what is that program??? I love the whole sketching and ease on designing. Very cool and useful.

[@wendygonzalez2532]

So just at the end you mentioned Procreate lol Thanks!!! I too am looking for plum tomatoes for my area. I also order from Southern Exposure, since I am in TX.

[@edelweiss1006]

What type of green bean do you trellis? I do a Blue Lake and I do not like the bean as well as the Jade Bush Beans, which are so tender. That being said-I REALLY need to free up more ground space and would love to find a great pole bean to transition to.

[@itsbreellis]

Theres is a blue lake poll bean variety! Ive done that and Kentucky wonder in the past.

[@edelweiss1006]

That's wonderful news! I will be looking that Blue Lake Pole up! Thank you!@@itsbreellis

[@SamanthaTwist]

Why not loofa? You have made enough?

[@lindseyvermillion858]

What is that program you’re using on your iPad to draw your garden?

[@alisonmfoley]

What program are you using on your iPad?

[@itsbreellis]

Procreate!

[@alisonmfoley]

@@itsbreellis thank You!
