I am planning to grow radish and garlic for the fall.
This white cucumber is rare, never seen it before. This Principe Borchese Tomato sounds interesting, I would like to try grow it
Hi Ross, as always great vid. Thanks for all the work you do and sharing. Amongst a few other things and of course my figs, I love growing Stevia plants. My family and I love to eat the fresh leaves during the warm months and found a number of health benefits to it. I also dry the leaves for the winter days to make tea or add to anything as well as grinding some to powder for multiple uses. Another popular herb in my garden is stinging nettle. Three varieties of elder berries are a must. Looking forward to your next vid. 👍 (from Melbourne Aus.)
I use an essential oil peppermint spray around the stem of my zucchini and haven’t had and vine borers since. I apply after pruning dead leaves out. 1 drop per 4oz of water and about a drop of hand soap to disperse the oil
Trombocin Zucetta is an amazing all around squash from young tender summer to a winter squash butternut type.
Great job, learned a lot from you over the past year following you
Finally I started my fig orchid, started with a 100 plants
I like your variety, I would like to connect with you and buy at least 2 cut of the variety you have
I come from the land of figs, grapes and olive, Palastine

I mean 2 cuts of each variety
The cucumber called Armenian cucumber, called Fakous in Palastine, I suggest getting the variety from Palastine, it is smaller size, between 6-8 inches
You will not regret it
I had a lot of tomatoes so happy
apply that same mindset we talked about with figs towards these cucumbers ross. beit alpha is great for taste and is a superior variety. i have found a new variety this year that has better disease resistance and texture. the same taste but in the heat i have noticed a little bitterness though. im talking very little. the production is insane. still comparing. i do not think i am going to share the variety's i like unless i see someone talk about it. its information i have painstakingly learned over the years. at this time it just seems to valuable to me to just toss around. some information i am keeping until i decide to create my own content.
