This is one of the only gardening channels worth watching..... specially for the Southern climate. Love all of y'alls advice and products. 😊

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thanks

[@ladonhilley461]

Thank you for the information. I love learning.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

You are so welcome!

[@elenamartino1620]

I will definitely try to make fermented carrots and beets 😃

[@bertieboatright1206]

I think this is the best garden Chanel ever. I love the plant tape idea. I need to order me some

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Please do!

[@johnjude2685]

Hoss like me, you should market a tool like mine for spacing them veggies from the tiny seeds that often need tended. I'm 72, and in ground gardening is my way to grow conconsering water better than any way I've seen . Back to my tool, it prevents me from crawling on the ground like a goffer, but faster than I could do in my younger years. It's great for any handicap needs . Actually, I've made mine knowing that age happens to all gardeners, and I'm keeping a garden until it's unsafe for me if I realize when it happens and it happens to everyone. We only pickle our beet but should try this salt system. Seed tape cost more than veggies Thanks

[@apiecemaker1163]

What kind of tool is it sir? I am interested.

[@oscarherrera9049]

You as a couple are fantastic a truely blessing. Excellent video.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thank you so much!

[@Maria-ql3fc]

I really like my raised beds and have them packed full of groceries

[@michellejones716]

I love when Greg says dadgum 😂 Thanks for the videos, it really helps when you are a visual learner

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@apiecemaker1163]

Man those are some pretty carrots! I can’t wait til they’re on the market. Please let us know when they come out and remind us that they’re the ones y’all were using in this video. This was a pleasant video of you two working together in the kitchen. Happy gardening from your AL friend. 👩‍🌾💚 🥕 This head crud just hangs on forever doesn’t it. My husband had it for weeks. Hope it clears out from you both soon. 💙 🙏

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thanks

[@johnrock6480]

Your the real deal Hoss. Love your videos.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thanks for watching

[@charlesdevier8203]

This last fall, I made a gallon jar full of fermented cabbage; just cabbage, salt and water. Very good and keeps a full year in the refrigerator.

[@rachelstrahan2486]

👍

[@lauras5312]

I hope to grow carrots like yours

[@rickthelian2215]

Lovely carrots & beets😊 Seed Tape from Road by Road Show😊 Too nice and shinny to peel, like the look of those carotts😊

[@nancytharp8213]

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝

[@tommathews3964]

So proud of your carrots, Greg! Seed spacing and getting out of the ground and into containers was key for me too! Since pelleted carrot seeds are getting harder to find I’ll try some seed tape. Fermenting looks delicious! I’m working on more sauerkraut as I watch this! Thanks for what y’all do for us!

[@marywesley316]

I’m so excited to grow my carrots for my time ever, this year. Thanks so much for this video.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

You are so welcome!

[@marywesley316]

That should have said my “first time” growing carrots. 😌😊

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Great tip on flipping the beds and on fermenting. Thanks for sharing and hope you both have a blessed week.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thank you! You too!

[@RealBradMiller]

Excellent video! I'd love to taste the fermented carrots.

[@user-lp3lg9jy9d]

I can't begin to find the words to tell you what a blessing it was to watch this and learn so much. I was feeling discouraged today, about my garden. I'm better now. Welp, School & Therapy. God is good, Thank U. I'll be back. To learn fermenting.

[@tigerhead379]

Wow that's a nice harvest. Well done

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thank you kindly

[@rlbgardener6465]

Can you make up, say a dozen jars at one time and store them. If so how do you prepare them for storage? Love y’all videos!!!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

When a ferment is “done,” which means that it tastes sour enough for you, move it into cool storage. A refrigerator, the basement or a root cellar.

[@susanturner9023]

Wow seed tape for carrots first I’ve seen that. Cool.

[@citylotgardening6171]

Great carrot harvest love your channel 👍

[@PepperplacewithShawna]

Thanks for this video. I always learn from you.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Glad to hear that!

[@aileensmith3062]

This was our first year fermenting and we used your system/method. A couple of mistakes made via the cucumbers. We will definitely be doing more fermenting this year and we FINALLY have been able to grow carrots to our liking as well!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Great to hear!

[@lisaallen835]

I'm going to have to try fermenting carrots. I enjoy the videos.

[@Miss1776-ic5ic]

BEAUTIFUL

[@TerrieAllred2023]

Your garden is so beautiful! You must wear your Get Dirty socks when you plant!! 😁

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thank you, I will

[@codysmashey5901]

Thank you for this video! It was very helpful.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TexasNana2]

Thanks for sharing 😊

[@gardeningwithhoss]

My pleasure 😊

[@christiensgarden3325]

Fantastic video

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thanks! 😃

[@72blueflash]

Mama Hoss, can you ferment the golden beets the same way? Really enjoy the channel.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

yes, you can

[@prayerwarrior424]

Love to try but I have a heck of a time growing carrots (in MA)….

[@tater357]

So what kind of Carrot was that? Looked a LOT like the ones I grew this fall. We growed the Bolero carrots and it turned out to be the best harvest we've ever had.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

It is a trial variety, it does not have a name yet.

[@tedperry2441]

We need more info on fermenting veggies just got my weights and pickle pipes.

[@billgraham5609]

Momma Hoss buy you a couple of Lamson knives. Made in the North East with German Steel, but American Made.

[@bonnieingraham6147]

Beautiful carrots! What is the variety, Please?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

It is one we are trialing.

[@carolparrish194]

I have made fermented kraut and pickles before; which we love. I was told to be sure not to use city water because of the added chemicals that are added. I do have a problem with my pickles getting soft after about 8 or months and I have tried different suggestions without any results. Do you have any suggestions?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Try adding some pickle crisp at the end.

[@k.p.1139]

Thanks, Greg. I need to get another round of beets going. I just ordered some tape. Is that like a Pro-Mix in your beds?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Mix of pro-mix and compost.

[@lindabranch8294]

I am learning so much. So after you open them is it best to keep them in the fridge.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

yes

[@jtharp9265]

Good evening, Greg Thank you & Mrs .Sheila, for all you do . We ordered more ammonia sulfate on Tuesday, January 23rd and Dr joe #192032 . Curious if its ok . God bless you all Mrs Josette Texas 🙏🙏🙏

[@gardeningwithhoss]

It was shipped on the 24th. Tracking number Tracking Number: 9434611206217187598428

[@ross-smithfamily6317]

Hoss, I'm loving this video! I just purchased four galvanized raised beds similar to yours, so I am looking forward to planting beets, shorter carrots, and lettuces in them. I am planning to use small sticks, leaves, and plant leaves from our property in the bottom six inches of the beds and good compost and Promix in the top 6 inches of the beds. Is there any reason NOT to use my raised beds immediately? After watching some other YT videos, I am concerned the sticks and leaves on the bottom might ty up nitrogen in the soil. Thanks! ❤

[@gardeningwithhoss]

You should be fine planting in them now.

[@charlesrussell6201]

I planted carrots in a raised bed on Oct 17. Three months ago. They germinated in 10 days or so. But they have only grown 3 or 4 inches high. I used your 5-4-3 complete organic fertilizer mixed into the medium and have side dressed them once (before the freeze) with the same fertilizer. Should I use your 20-20-20 on them?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

yes

[@sharonmckee2403]

I’m encouraged to start fermenting…. However my carrots look poorly… may have to go buy organic!😮 ordering fermenting weights!

[@ritaholcombe9905]

How can I store several jars of fermented vegetables long term?? I don't have space in the fridge for several jars to sit there for months till I eat it all.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

I don't know of any other way.

[@fireflydreams1791]

If I buy one of the fermentation kits and try this recipe, do I need to shake the jar to "stir" up the salt mixture or is it okay to let the salt just settle to the bottom as in the jars here? Would like to try this for a healthy snack option and want to be sure I am getting the right idea on how to do it.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

yes, to shake it up. Or you can dissolve it in a small amount of warm water,

[@PearlsLilAngel]

Moma/papa Hoss Is the pink Himalayan salt ok to use for the fermentation?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

yes

[@PearlsLilAngel]

@@gardeningwithhoss thank you

[@taylorshomestead3934]

Question- yalls treated seeds are not heirloom are they? Getting ready to order peas and trying to decide between two, one is little marvel but they are treated. Never bought treated. Thanks!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

If they state they are treated. They are treated with “Thiram”. Thiram is a very mild fungicide that prevents “damping off”. It protects the young seedling from fungal diseases in abnormally wet conditions. It is not systemic, so it doesn’t get inside the plants and it will not stick around in the surrounding soil.

[@shirleyk623]

What is the name of carrots that you planted? Mine are growing very slowly here in Florida.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

This is trial we are testing out. It does not have a name yet. The carrot seed tape used in this video is a rainbow carrot blend growhoss.com/products/rainbow-carrot-blend-seed-tape?_pos=13&_sid=9c99fc125&_ss=r&variant=47352433770806

[@jessidutton3441]

I've tried every year for 20 years and always FAIL. Arkansas Ozarks. Any secrets you can share?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Need 10-12 inches of very fluffy soil. Water daily until germination. Fertilize weekly and they need 1 inch of water per week. Keep weeds pulled so that carrots are not competing with the weeds.

[@sherripeck1300]

What did you do to get the dirt in those beds so luscious? It is dark, beautiful and looks so fertile.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

mixed in some black gold compost. www.bgcottoncompost.com/

[@sherripeck1300]

@@gardeningwithhoss too bad I live in Ohio. Hopefully I can find some place local to buy something comparable.

[@susanturner9023]

Wow y’all only do 7 days maybe that’s what I’m doing wrong. I was letting go like 14.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

It can go longer. I would taste it at 7 days and when it has the flavor you like, put in fridge to stop the fermentation.

[@91210paige]

Do you have to refrigerate them after the 7 or 8 days?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

yes,

[@IwillBinthewoods]

4 cups of water didn't fit in that jar. Is that a problem? Also, that was a lot of salt for a little bit of beets. New to this, so just wondering.

[@Lucontheman]

Is the Redman salt less salty than kosher or sea salt, why do you use this instead of the others?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Redman Real Salt is exactly as nature created it: nothing added, nothing taken away. Real Salt is preferred by chefs for its delicious, subtle flavor and recommended by experts because of the unrefined minerals.

So the seed is in the tape?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

yes

@@gardeningwithhoss gotcha! Didn't realize that until you did a demo.Thanks!

[@gmcvay4]

Love hoss and will only buy from them. But...the seed tape is a no go for me and they are apparently focusing on rookie gardners with that gimmick. I've tried seed tape and its not worth it.

[@rachelstrahan2486]

👍It helps someone to learn how to space the seeds and be more successful as well as people with vision and dexterity challenges.

[@apiecemaker1163]

I am legally blind with limited vision in one eye and none in the other. I can see how seed tape would be very helpful to me because I can’t see tiny items. I can do larger things like beans and peas. I want to continue gardening and preserving until I just can’t anymore. It is so healthy and good for my well-being.

[@nc8524]

Thank you- im so happy to see a couple fermenting recipes! Ive heard from a few people now that fermented carrots are really delicious! Id love to have fresh carrots i grow myself, but not possible right now. I can get a bag of organic carrots from store at good price and I think I'll start with those! I dont have a carrot brush yet though- i think i need one. 😊 Fermenting seems less intimidating than canning to me. What are some other things easy to ferment? Are green beans safe and taste good? Or..this summer there'll be fresh okra available. Maybe that'll be good? Does each type of veggie take same amount of salt in jar?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

the best vegetables for fermenting include cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cucumbers, garlic, kohlrabi, peppers, radishes, snap beans and turnips

[@rachelstrahan2486]

​@gardeningwithhoss 👍

[@lindayoung6882]

Which carrot is that?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

It is one we are trialing. It does not have a name yet.

[@lindayoung6882]

Looks awesome!
