Living Traditions , great channel for peppers and luffa .
Good morning Constance!
If you like to can spaghetti sauce, try the amish paste tomatoes. Paste tomatoes have more meat to them. These are much larger than the Roma. I get them from southernexposure.com
I really love your videos. They give me an idea of what it’s like to have a homestead. I have lived in a city all my life but that sort of life seems wonderful:):)
Since you love zinnias, you must try Giants of California! I've never grown zinnia's before, but after seeing a vid of those Patara grew, and upon her recommendation, I gave a shot. I planted in all day sun around the perimeter of my garden and was blown away!! The colors awesome, a beautiful variety mix, butterflies and pollinators love, and most all mine were between 5 and 8 ft tall (!), towering over everything, in view from my window a good distance away! Purchased from Baker's Creek Rare Seeds. I too live in AL (Wetumpka) and many had already re-seeded in Sept into new flowering plants from dead flowerheads that had dropped. They all lasted clear up until a recent frost, mid Nov! I will definitely be planting these again, everywhere, this year!! Don't think you'll be disappointed 😉 Enjoyed your list!
Luffa are fun to grow. Use your cattle pannel and let them hang down , they will do great that way. Once they are mature, you let them dry, rub between your hands, cut one end off and sprinkle the seeds out. use as is or if your are into making soap, cut fine and add to soap mixture for a body scrub bar soap. Love the zinnias also, grow them every year. I buy my seeds in bulk, the minis and the giants and scatter the seeds in my garden. I'm going to try some of the others you mentioned, the cubinel peppers? Are they sweet, medium hot or very how, how do you use them?
I love this! I subscribed and watched all the way to the end, then I recognized your photo from the Friends of R&F Facebook group. Great video and very fun to watch! I grew luffa last year and my tip is that when they start drying out, they look a bit like they are rotting with black spots. That is just the skin drying, so you can ignore it 🙂
