I like the shelves with gardening stuff on them.

[marshashelley]

Found him! Love your show! And your products! All the seeds I got last year came up great! Heard about you thru Stivers and Deep South.

[sharongraser]

Enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing all the information, very helpful!

The old goat is on the second shelf behind Greg. LOL he is a cutie bobble. Thank you for sharing the new tomatoes. Greg I do not think you are a horrible person for the video you put out on seed blocking. I even went back and watched it again to see if I missed something. I think that a person that does seed blocking wants to farm like my grandfather did in the late 1800's to early 1900's to get back to the basics. More power to them. Thank you for sharing your gardening channel. It has triggered alot of things I had forgotten over the years.

An old farmer taught me a transplant trick that really works to avoid shock; when putting the transplant in the ground sprinkle about 1/2-1 teaspoon of 34-0-0 around each plant and water in well. Instead of shock that plant will pop! Works every time.

I saw the "Old Goat" on the shelf near the hand tool. Cute! Guess Greg could be an ole GOAT Farmer; Greatest Of All Time, especially if he's been planting since 16. Mama let us plant turnips and her tomatoes. Everything else she liked to do it. Daddy would break up, till, fertilize, and dust plants, but Mama did most the rest of our gardens. I'm grateful I learned a little as I was growing up. Comes in handy nowadays. I never cared to much before, but feel we need to grow now.

The OLD GOAT is on the shelf behind your hubbies head! 💕

Hi, I saw the "OLD GOAT" to the left of Greg shoulder on a shelf behind him.

[darlenejordan]

People can be so mean, you are providing good information. I'm glad you can laugh about the silly attitudes some choose display.

[KansasGardenGuy]

We've always transplanted squash, zucchini, okra from trays here. Around here first to market with these gets money after a month or so everyone has it to offer and can't sell it or give it away. Love the show as always and the goat is behind Gregg's right shoulder...lol

[kathyp]

Love the old goat on the shelf. Thanks again for the advise on grow started using some. So excited.

[deborahrutherford]

I planted Hickory King corn in a tray and transplanted in the garden where the direct seeded didn't come up. They grew and I never done this before, was impressed in how it worked.

[thill]

Old Goat is on the shelf right behind The Old Hoss!

[papawsplace]

Ms Hoss, The Old Goat is setting to your right. LOL 😂 Just Joking Mr. Greg.

[charlespeterson]

Started my flowers will be down south in Mexico during my prime time in VA

[sylviaestes]

The Old Goat is on the shelf behind Greg.

[brownout]

Just take all my money this year!! Lol! I’m with Mama Hoss that peach sunflower will look good with the chocolate cherry, which I will grow forever in my garden! Well…on to place ANOTHER order 🤣

[MrRutabager]

Hard to say which ol' goat looks better, the one on the shelf behind the other "ol' goat's" head. I have a question please. I have a heavy, heavy deer problem. I ended up with 37 of my cabbage ruined by their grazing. I only was able to give 44 of them to relatives and the food bank at our church. I hung 50+ pie plates around the garden, they finally got used to the rattling and mowed them down. Any suggestions, please? Thanks

[hutke]

I live in NE Oklahoma, and last summer we had a cool, wet spell which caused a soil bacterial problem and it decimated my Marzano tomatoes. I’m moving plots this year, but my question is if there is a good flavored paste tomato that is more resistant to diseases? I’ve always favored Marzano over Romas.
