Coming from a man around your age with a family business that dates back over 150 years and that I'm removed from I can understand the in between the lines. Honestly we have to keep the old knowledge and evolve. My family would not evolve to the time hence the split in my venture. However a good American made product with knowledge backing it will always be successful. I will always support you in any venture as long as you keep transparency and honesty.

[@LazyDogFarm]

We appreciate the support. We wish you the best in your ventures as well.

[@ginaeaton6680]

I feel like I just heard... Paul Harvey's, The Rest of the Story. I just came across your channel a few weeks ago. With the shades and mustache, I thought you must be a twin. I just love you, Greg and Hoss Tools. I hate to see family division. I pray that part has been resolved. Like others, I appreciate you still making videos. Your knowledge, skill and experience is invaluable. Thank you!

I miss you on row by row, its just not the same. Its because of you my wife wants to kill me. I took your advice on the cucumber varieties that are gynecious and they made unbelievable. We couldn't eat enough to keep up with the producing and had to start bring buckets of them to family members. The Calypso and Stonewall are my go to varieties. Great job on what you do, keep it up.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Those are both good varieties. But you're right, they'll produce way more than you can use.

[@carolhilton7074]

I don't know how I found you, but I am so glad I did. I watched all of your videos from the "previous" company and even called them to find out if you were OK. (No comment). Thought something might have happened to you. My husband and I are in our eighties, and we are just now trying to start a small garden. We will definitely stay with your channel. Will you focus some time on newbie small gardeners? We have a lot of friends and family members who are just starting and have no idea what they are doing. We need all of the help we can get. Sending prayers for you, your family, and your new business.

Glad you found us too! We try to have some content for beginners and some experiment content for more experienced gardeners. So there's something for everyone!

[@tzt1161]

I love this kind of information! I’m very much a “why” person. Tell me why something is the way it is. Lately, all I can find on gardening channels is ‘how to’s’ all for newbies in the garden. I know that’s a booming market currently, but I feel like it’s over saturated, and there’s not much other gardening information being addressed. I’ve always enjoyed your research knowledge that you shared on the Hoss channel, and I’m glad you’re carrying on that tradition. It makes a difference to me, and helps me to make informed decisions. Sometimes it’s just cool tid-bits and facts that I never knew. In regards to the quality of seeds that I’ve purchased from Hoss Tools, I found them to be top notch. After watching this video, I now know that you were the “why” behind that. Your research and care of the products sold shows in the end result. Thank you, Travis. You’re much appreciated!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks Toni. I really appreciate your thoughtful response.

Travis...You just cleared up my thoughts as of late. I have been watching your videos for the last year and really appreciate your intelligence, southern accent, humor and love for gardening. You're the reason I purchased all my drip, fertigation and seeds from Hoss. I am sure they are missing their main man. Not sure we'll ever know what happened but if you start your own company, many like me will follow. God bless you and your family. Everything happens for a reason! Thanks for making awesome videos! Hollerin' from O-H-I-O! All the best to you and your family!

[@akfunhogm6520]

Thanks! Your right, there’s a wide variety of reasons folks buy seeds from where they do. Perhaps they mostly do originate from a small group of distributors. My thing has always been buy local. Alaska although geographically large is still just a small community at heart. We’re lucky to have an outlet (Alaska mill and feed) that carries a wide selection of seeds…hybrid, heirloom, you name it, just rack after rack of types and brands, plus anything a small home farm might need for chickens, goats etc. Didn't know until this video the seeds came from just a few sources…but it still feels good to buy from a local place.

[@GrammaRosesHomestead]

I was the manager of the "in house" seed lab for a major cotton seed company. Like you said, the company continued to sell previous years seeds as long as they continued to meet national germination levels. Then, when the seed dropped below 80% germ, they'd blend it with excellent fresh seed which actually might have 98% germ. The customer probably never actually received any of that really high germ seed because it was used to keep the older seed up to national standards.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Yep. Lots of tricks to keep things up to regulation standards.

[@LazyDogFarm]

@@lisareis8117 The two varieties are pretty similar in size in my garden. They just get so loaded that they really test the strength of the twine. They take a little more tying than traditional determinate varieties. I don't have any ripe yet to compare flavor.

Most be then if I happen to see a interesting pack of seeds in the where ever store. I would buy them Wasn't doing a great success of them. But it was fun. Now for 6 years. I taking it more seriously. Thanks to ebay and Utube. I'm learning what I was doing wrong. All so many interesting plants. But now I buy so many plants and seeds. And now you answered my question about where I get my seeds from. Why on internet that so many companies seed information all sound the same. Same pictures, And a generic descriptions. Your valuable information on growing onions. Was a mind blower. Short day vs long day. So I went looking for some Short day onion seeds.And found out many seeds companies don't even tell you that important information. I had already bought 2 long seeds, by mistake. So I sent message to some different sellers on line .One company had a harsh answer. I was alittle hot at this. 2 companies quickly answered my question professionally. THANK YOU , THANK YOU
