God bless you,
Mr.Greg
I couldn't have a big garden this year due to emergency back fusion then I caught SEPSIS, thank God I survived after being on IV Rocephin for 6 weeks,
But my husband did what he could after work, and our granddaughters helped
To get us extra food - during this horrible economy issue,
I truly appreciate everything you & Mrs Sheila have been teaching hundreds of thousands of people how to grow their own food .
Have a wonderful holiday weekend.
Mrs josette Tharp
Montgomery County, Texas 🙏 ❤
My husband even put shade cloth over several raised beds as the heat has been so bad over here ...
I can use my walker and get out on our deck & water our grow bags & watch each morning the beautiful lil harvest we will have hopefully.

I’m definitely hoping for some good old fashioned tomatoes this year that taste like my granddaddy’s did. I’ve never been able to grow tomatoes until they accidentally came up in my compost container last year and they just wouldn’t stop producing, even after we’d covered them from all the freezes we kept getting. This year I’m gardening on purpose, that last year gave me inspiration to try again. Hoss has become my gardening guide!

Greg, I love your straight rows and how even your steaks look. There is nothing like having a tidy garden and I’m so grateful I found your website years ago because I’ve learned so much from you on how to garden here in the south and I absolutely love my drip tape kit I bought from you because it aids in keeping a tidy garden as well! Thanks for everything you do for us gardeners. I know I say that a lot but I mean it!

The same time I plant my nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants) is usually the same time I have an egg glut from my home flock. I bury a cracked egg under each transplant and two off to each side, with a sprinkle of Epsom salts. I’ve had exactly one case of BER, and two of cat face tomatoes. Both times were when I was away (family funerals) and no one watered the plants. Got a timer dedicated to my nightshade plot, and now no issues.

HOSS = The BOSS Worth watching twice. We can all listen. 2nd time to understand. Book marked to refer too!

Dry the egg shells in the oven on 180 and then put them in your blender until powdered. Greatly decreases the time needed to decompose the calcium into a bioavailable form.

Hello from across the river in LA, "Lower Alabama" . I just found ya'lls channel this weekend and have been binge watching it a night instead of sleeping. My daddy and grand daddy always gardened when I was a kid. They plowed with a mule pulling a steel beam with a bottom plow and then a middle buster and sweeps on a wooden beamed plow. We originally planted using an old Cole Dropper. These were all mu Grand Daddy's implements when we farmed for a living as a young man. We still have all this stuff in the barn. Of course when I was a teenager and a young man I had no desire to garden. I will turn 55 this July and have found that I have an interest in growing stuff now. I'm sure a head shrinker could tell me exactly what is going on in my head that has motivated me to garden. Whatever the reason I am now in my 2nd year of trying to grow vegetables on a 30'x 60' plot. Last year was a disappointment but I did a soil test this spring and figured out I had the worst soil this side of the Sahara desert. I have worked like a Hebrew slave to improve the soil this spring and I am in the middle of year 2. I am way behind on getting most things in the ground but I can already tell things are going to be better this year. Thank ya'll for all the great information and encouragement.

This is the best dose of tomato learning your going to find!

[robindevellen]

You just save up your eggs through the winter dry them in the oven, then put them through a blender and you got calcium powder! I’ve got a 1 gallon ice cream bucket full of it now.
