[@ninetypercentnative]

Hello! I am so excited for the 2024 growing season! Let me know in the comments below what you are most excited to grow in 2024.

Our Sugar Daddy watermelon was thee best watermelon we had tasted in decades! We can't wait to grow more in 2024.

I sowed Crimson Cloverin my raised beds in the fall to rejuvenate the soil and to hopefully make them too crowded for the fall and winter tree seed drop. I am hoping to not have a tree nursery of Sycamore seedlings😂 in my raised beds.

Awesome, Heidi! Looking forward to mine this year. Do you know how many fruit you got per plant? Thx!!

[@ninetypercentnative]

[@ninetypercentnative]

YES!!! I am so excited about this one. I think I'll start my peppers in the next week or so!

Great information. You will enjoy seeing the fruits of your labor with all your seeds.

[@ninetypercentnative]

I hope so!

What a fun video! Seed orders are always so exciting to get! Have fun!!

[@ninetypercentnative]

Thank you! Ordering seeds make me soooo happy! 😊😉🌻

Love this! So fun to have the Christmas tree in the background too. Let us know when you have that tomato sauce recipe with the carrots! 😋

[@ninetypercentnative]

Morning Lisa - Will do!! Currently I chop up carrots really fine and saute them for while before adding to the sauce. That really does the trick by adding sweetness but you have the texture.

felco for xmas, thats a great gift.

[@ninetypercentnative]

Yes, I am loving them!

[@erinwyckoff4346]

Suggestion for the tomato sauce. Put a whole carrot into the sauce when you’re cooking, then when it’s done cooking take the whole carrot out. It adds sweetness without having actual bits of carrot in the sauce

[@ninetypercentnative]

Fantastic idea!!! Thank you, Erin!

Stevia is a slow grower, but don’t give up on it. By august it’ll start taking off.

[@ninetypercentnative]

Thank you, Rachel! Any other suggestions? Have you been successful with it?

[@user-oz1pw8jr7s]

I have found Cosmos plants to be very attractive to lady bugs 🐞

[@ninetypercentnative]

Perfect for my garden this summer!

I bought a variety of native shrubs in the late fall here, after an initial cold spell, it's been real warm here, relatively... Hopefully they all made it, separated a lot of asters late also. Planning on winter sowing some purple coneflowers and liatris soon.

[@ninetypercentnative]

Nice! I have a couple native shrubs too that I bought on clearance in the fall. I have high hopes they will all make it! Asters are becoming a favorite for me. I have a lot of aromatic aster that spreads like crazy. Sounds like a great plan! I am going to do a video on everything I sowed on November pretty soon. I have a couple more flats to go, the seeds that don't need any cold stratification time are the ones I saved for last.

I grew snail vine last year, was able to get my hands on a pack grom BC.1 extra seed in thr pack and out of 6 seeds w germinated. they grew up a small trellis, had black small bigs all over them. but they were pretty. never seeded though

[@ninetypercentnative]
