When seeds were all gone online and in the stores this spring due to the pandemic demand, and I wanted to try southern peas for the first time, I planted a 14 ft row of black eyes peas from my pantry. I learned that the bumble bees love them. This is the first time I have seen bumblebees in my garden. Carpenter ants and a garden rats also took up residence among the bushes and pods. I had to get rid of the rat. I picked the pods as they dried out, and shelled them. Altogether it produced about 2lbs of dried black eyes peas that looked just like the grocery store ones I had planted. Probably not a kosher method, but it was the most fun of the garden this summer.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Great to hear! We love southern peas, aka "field peas."

[@Doktracy]

Greg has a great point on the sweet potatoes because I keep struggling to cure them. I have usually planted late. I grow a lot of purple ones from the store. They volunteer every summer now, even though I’m in zone 8.

[@lbarnes8207]

I grew the South Anna butternut squash. 8 plants. I planted them a little late. They have been through hurricane Laura and Delta. Doing wonderfully!. I have provided for 6 families plus mine and have been picking huge squash with great flavor. I am up to 4 laundry baskets full since the end of August and I am not even halfway finished picking! No bugs, no powdery mildew, no fertilizer and have not watered since I planted them. 👍

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Great to hear! Glad they've produced well for you.

[@grimesgarden9556]

I've grown bell peppers for years, but this year I experimented with six poblano peppers. they did very well! Love the mild spice.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Poblanos are great!

[@Lulu-ue2lj]

We drink the hibiscus with stevia so it doesn’t raise blood sugar levels. I look forward to buying your seeds. We learned that hibiscus lowers blood pressure. Thank you guys!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

We should have it on the site in the next month or two.

[@robinmiller1783]

Spring new fav Hoss Mr. Big peas. Summer Utah Tall celery. Fall Little Gem romaine and American flag leeks. Also had an amazing carrot year.

[@donnastormer9652]

Try squeezing about 6 limes in that size jug and sweeten it with Agave nectar. You’ll love it, lime really compliments the Hibiscus

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Good idea, we will try it!

[@leonardlavalier329]

My corn was my worst and best thing this year. First corn planted in April (8b) had 10% germination and tasseled at 4ft tall, and small ears. Tested soil, Amended with lime, Sevin granules, and triple 20. Second planting of corn in May. 95% germination, 7 ft stalks, 5 to 6 ears per stalk. 1st seeds from Lowes, 2nd seeds from Hoss. Also this is my first year for drip tape and it was a "Game Changer".

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Awesome!

[@preachersdayoff]

Question for next week's show: Can Greg get a sound check before you start recording? Love y'alls show but Greg always sounds like his mic is off or too far away. I got my first seed order from ya'll this week, fast service and well packed. Thanks

[@gardeningwithhoss]

We sound check both guys before recording always. Audio does not sound bad on our end, but we will work on trying to improve it next week.

[@lindaestell6613]

@@gardeningwithhoss Thank you. I had to put on headphones to hear Greg. Love your shows.

[@kaitlanmumford6639]

Okra dehydrated/freeze dried with sea salt! Goat is between the two signs 🫶🏻

[@Lulu-ue2lj]

This was a great show! As usual. I grew eggplant and tomatillos new this year in zone 9 with a very clay soil.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Looking forward to trying tomatillos next year. Love some verde salsa!

[@mancavegamingandgardening9901]

First year growing Poblano peppers; they are large like bell peppers which I have production problems with each year. Not this poblano plant! I must have gotten about 35 good size peppers before the frost finally hit last week. Zone 5a, growing in raised beds. Super excited to grow that one again next year.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Poblanos are great! So much flavor!

[@michellemartin2612]

Thank you for this great informative video. I'm in Texas, about to relocate from an 8 zone to a 5! I have been stocking up (from seeds, fertilizers, trays, and harvesting rubber bowls) and building a nice seed library from you and was wondering if I would still be able to get use of my seeds in NE. The only seeds I need to change is onions! LOL Better order some Long Day Varieties from your website!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Should work just as well up there -- except the onions like you mentioned.

[@believeliveloveandlaugh3844]

I am new in your channel, I heard from you through Deep South Homestead ( Danny and Wanda). I will be ordering from you pretty soon. Thank for sharing all this useful information.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the show!

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

That was fun

[@mobilejohnm]

Question to the show regarding onions: If I'm growing onions in the designated "intermediate area" of the country, but the plot on my property is located down deep in the holler where the sun don't come across the mountain until 8 or 9 a.m,, such as mountain areas of Appalachia, then should I be growing short day onions and will they likely respond better to the reduced daylight?

[@GrammaRosesHomestead]

That's a really good question!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Interesting. In that case, you might want to try short-day onions and compare them to the intermediate-day ones.

[@triplecreekfarm2007]

My favorite new veggie that I grew this year is bok choy. I love it but need more ideas on how to cook it. On another note, I want to improve my onion growing. It gets too cold here to over-winter onions, but I want to make sure and order my seeds before you run out of stock. When will the new seed inventory be available? Will you be selling the nesting onions in the spring?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

We won't have the nesting onions in early 2021, but we have planted a huge plot so that we can hopefully have enough to sell in fall 2021. As far as the large onions, we have fresh seed stock right now.

[@BadgerBarnes]

Excellent show as always. Thank you. Have either of you watched "Kiss the Ground" on Netflix? I thought it was an interesting documentary but I would have liked to see more insight from farmers doing the no till thing. I'd be interested to hear what you two think about it. -Colbi

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Have not seen that one, but will check it out.

[@wesleylukesr9695]

I planted my shallots second week of October I am in zone 10 how bad did I mess up I do enjoy y'all show I've learned a lot but I feel I may have jump the gun on my shallots

[@gardeningwithhoss]

You should still be fine. There's a pretty wide window for planting shallots and garlic down here in the south.

[@dontpittiemylife2495]

Would love to know if you have any tips on growing leeks. I've been reviewing a lot of your past shows but mostly just hear they are easy to grow. Sadly, for me that has not been the case. I am in zone 10b (SoCal coast) and I've never gotten them fatter than a pencil but further north up the cali coast they grow amazing leeks. Not sure if it is a zone issue (too warm), if it is because I've only grown the single seed variety sold from the big box stores, or something else (soil type or pH). Is there something I'm missing to get them to fatten up? I've previously tried planting late fall like now and also around Feb when it is our coolest to see if it is a soil temp issue but still no success. I do love to eat them and would love to be able to harvest from my garden rather than the grocery store. Have really been enjoying your show.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

They are heavy feeders, so they'll want plenty of water and nitrogen. Our Ammonium Sulfate works well on them. Also, you need to "hill" them to get the big leeks.

[@30farms70]

Blue Bayou pumpkins. They made like crazy and disease didn’t bother them

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Great variety!

[@barbaraengle768]

Swiss chard

[@coopgb]

Any idea when y’all will get the Bella Rosa and brickyard seeds in?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

In the next month or so hopefully. Waiting on the new crop of seeds.

[@jessidutton3441]

I live in zone 7A. I have my Savannah Sweet onion seeds in my plug tray and covered with perlite like y'all said to do. Do I need to put a light on them or a heat mat? Or do I leave them in an unheated green house?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

They should be just fine in the unheated greenhouse.

[@nelsonkobs3363]

How long does it take for English Peas to germinate. I am in zone 8 in Texas. What should be the soil temp for germination?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Usually 5-6 days. You probably want the soil temp to be in the high 70s.

[@patriotpop2436]

Do fig bushes still exist. If so where can I find them?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Not sure about fig bushes. We have quite a few fig trees on our homesteads. If pruned hard enough, they will resemble bushes.

[@vincantsam45]

Hey Gregg what kind of soil do you plant the roselle in

[@gardeningwithhoss]

We have a sandy loam soil here.

[@Bamapride1000]

Do y’all know where I can get some really good compost in north Ga around Cartersville? I’ve just moved here from Alabama and still have a few things to get sourced.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

There used to be a company called "Foothills Compost" that was in Gainesville. Not sure if they're still around, but they had some good stuff.

[@Lafayettelyle]

that rotten egg smell is sulfur dioxide. it is acidic.
