I live in Texas and grow just about every variety of cut and come again greens and lettuces for my zone! Ain't nothing better than fresh greens from the garden...

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Cut and come again greens are very fun to grow and very rewarding!

Never heard of Tatsoi ! Need to look into how that tastes. I could never get my taste buds to love the flavor or Argula. Very nice looking beds, and thanks for the video.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Tatsoi is a winner. Lots of production for a small space!

[@1charlastar886]

Harvest arugula young when the taste is mild. We like it steamed with a little balsamic vinegar on it. The vinegar also helps prevent kidney stones from calcium in the cooked greens.

[@meanqkie2240]

Jerry, I’ve only bought young greens in produce depts, but at the stage it’s offered that way it’s like a red radish flavor. I plan to grow it because I’m hooked on that flavor! Might have to pick it earlier?

Your Tatsoi is gorgeous oh my goodness!

You just taught me someything as well!I never knew t ventilate the bags to store my produce in mt refrigerator or"chill chest" - think Chef Alton Brow, the Brilliant! So thank you for that tip!- hope

[@gardeningwithhoss]

This tatsoi took about 30 days to get to that point -- mainly because of the seesaw weather we've been having which can throw it for a loop. But usually it's around 20 days to that size. And yes, poking holes in the bag does wonders for increasing storage time.

[@joelhenderson5526]

[@cfowler12317]

Travis will you put them in your weekly veggie box as shown in video or do you wash and store in fridge? Are you harvesting same day as veggie box distribution? Thanks for great video.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

We only wash right before we eat. They store much better that way. We harvest for our weekly veggie bags on Sundays, and then the bags get delivered on Monday and Tuesday. So most of this cutting went into those bags.

Too close to measure.

Arugula seems to be bullet-proof, but you can only eat so much. Strong taste. One mature plant for one person, outer leaf harvesting, and there was all I could eat all winter and spring.

[@sherrytucker7102]

I think I'd fire up my electric hedge trimmer and cut a couple of feet to see how it goes...the greens "should" remain laying on top and be easily gathered. If it works like I think it'd work, you should be able to quickly walk down the length of the row with the trimmer, walk back and gather..boom...done. It's a thought!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

It might work, but the greens might taste like bar oil.

[@caseyarmstrong7064]

Hey travis always love your videos, this question has nothing to do with this video, but with germinating seeds. I just recently bought some of your pole beans and bush beans, I planted about 18 each, I plant them in a 36 cell seeding tray, I had about a 50% germination rate on each seedling. So do I just plant what’s come up and wait for the rest to grow, or wait for them all to grow, not really sure. I live in Fresno california, yea I know don’t make fun of me. Lol. Or do you think my seedling technique is a little off, any suggestions would help Travis. I plant in 36, just cause I don’t like to do much potting up if I don’t have to, this kind of goes for a lot that I grow. Thanks travis, always like watching your videos

[@gardeningwithhoss]

I would put the bean seeds directly in the ground if you can. Don't worry about transplanting them. They should germinate closer to 90% -- that's what we've been experiencing in our own gardens. If beans don't germinate in a week or so, they were likely planted too deep.

[@BigFamilySmallFarm]

You guys ever eat the beet greens? Any recommendations on a beet variety that produces a lot of greens? Beet greens are SO good! We eat them raw and cooked. Raw they almost have a butteriness to them. Cooked...we just sauté real quick in some bacon grease(and of course throw in the bacon that the grease came from).

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Yes, beet greens are great! Kestrel is one of our favorite beet varieties because it has good disease resistance and the greens are usually nice and large.

We have them in 1/4 lb, but it will be the end of January before we have them in packets. We do free shipping on all orders over $99.

[@sgrin2300]

Just ordered some arugula. Was wondering where they are from/grown?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Most seeds crops are grown in Mexico and California. Not sure the exact origin of the Arugula.

[@suemerritt1679]

How often do you fertilize your greens?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

We haven't fertilized these. We did till some chicken-manure compost into the soil pre-plant. Once they burn through that, we might have to supplement.

[@amy3458]

How do you plant those? Do you use a 5 or 6-row seeder? Just toss the seeds out? Space them out hand hand sow each seed? Thanks! This is my first time here! I’m a new subscriber!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

We use our Hoss Garden Seeder and plant rows very close together. I think we actually did a video when we planted them.

[@julieb9215]

You could probably zip down the row really fast with a hedge trimmer-if you had ground cover or something along the row edges covering the dirt. lol

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Haha. That would be fast, but the greens would probably taste like bar oil.

[@julieb9215]

[@RovingPunster]

QUESTION: I have an indoor 18x48" grow rack, and the vertical clearance of my shelves are 18", so If grow anything beyond the petite greens stage its gotta be fairly vertical, rather than wide, in order to be space efficient. Im currently looking at komatsuna, and this (savanna). Will these do well in 5" round pots, placed shoulder to shoulder (ie, 10 pots per 1020 tray), or are the plants too wide to be happy that close together ?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Savanna should do well with this setup.

[@RovingPunster]

​​​@@gardeningwithhossThanks. I just now ordered a packet so I can test out that 20 days to full maturity claim, which seems very optimistic but could be a godsend if true. Honestly, id expect it to only hit baby greens stage that early, since 35-41 days to maturity seems commonplace, but ill give it a whirl. Very reasonably priced too. Cheers.

[@RovingPunster]

OK. Here we go. 👍 Seeds arrived yesturday, and i promptly sowed eight 5" round pots, so I'll be putting that "20 days to maturity" claim to the test. I'll even give them the advantage of ideal temp conditions on my grow rack, with nice bright full spectrum lighting on a 17-7 timer. Prediction: im guessing emergence in 3 days, and by day 20 it should reach either petite or possibly baby greens stage, with little or no chance of hitting full maturity. I suspect someone got confused between measuring time to maturity from sowing vs time from transplanting when they labelled this strain, but we shall see. I'll also be watching carefully for horizontal space efficiency, which (besides speed) was my main reason for evaluating savanna mustard. I'll also check them for cut & regrowability. For comparison, ive also got an identical tray of Komatsuna going, which just yesturday emerged in 3 days flat. The race is on, with komatsuna having a 3 day head start. I'm looking forward to devouring all the test subjects too. 😊

[@RovingPunster]

​​​@@gardeningwithhossOk, I did my test grow twice (vid linked below). The "20 days to maturity" claim is 100% FALSE. I recommend disambiguating that on the seed packaging. I'm pretty sure was an innocent error where someone confused time to maturity (as measured from date of transplanting) with time to maturity (as measured from date of sowing). There's a fine line between innocent mistakes (like this one) and wilful false advertising ... its rarely a good idea to give people reason to assume the latter. You're welcome for having caught this error for you. Cheers. My vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/borMdKCNn6p6gJYsi=M4WT517vJzp-Ods2

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Before each gardening season, I have a meeting with all the deer in my area. I tell them that I will set up a corn pile about a 1/4 mile from my garden. I promise a steady supply of corn if they promise to not get near my garden. We have had this agreement for 4-5 years now and haven't had any issues. They are very compliant with our agreement. They also know that if one of them was to break the deal, he/she would be quickly harvested.
