Try Orangeglo watermelon (I think I spelled it right). Grew some last year. They’re sweet.
Such good little helpers. Tituss seems to want to open up any and all melons. So funny and so cute!🤣
Lol me and Abram are on the same page
If you water every other day then how much for corn?
Great helpers there. We're growing those Carolina cross this year for fun. Gonna have to get a frontend loader to get them out of the field. Lol
You are definitely way ahead of our melons and pumpkins. We have softball size and you have harvested some nice ones. Thanks for the comparison and first hand experience report. Hope your back is recovering and you are slowly getting back up to speed.
If you try a seedless orange watermelon the orange crisp is the sweetest watermelon I ever tasted… Their was one time I ate a seedless sugar baby that was that sweet… But we grew 20×20 piece of black plastic with 4 foot and a half hills in it of the orange crisp, they where amazingly sweet, unbelievable…. We grew them here in East Tennessee…..
I am glad you are enjoying the results of the no-till bed. I remember watching an old video with your dad where he was knocking the size of something you had grown in the no-till bed. He was too set in his ways to keep an open mind and that irked me even before the official schism. No one garden system is perfect for all situations all of the time but how are you going to learn if you don’t take risks?
Looks like Honey dew….
Good video – what is your son Ta Ta's name or is that it. Just curious.
Hey lazy dog farm thank you for the hat🧢 I love it🧡Abram and tyty were so cute pushing that massive watermelon 😁❤🍉Thank you for sharing! God bless ya'll ✝️🌅
Trav where do you recommend getting silage tarps? I know Hoss has some and I can only assume the quality is top notch. Just want to get a recommendation before I make the purchase
Nothing but rain here. Lightning strike took out equipment. Softball tomatoes rotting on the vine. Starting to pick them as soon as they turn. Planted a little late so … Maybe the fall crop will make in time. The Bella Rosa suckers I rooted in water went straight into the ground and doing fine so far. Suckers I put straight into the wet soil fried as soon as the sun hit them. Covers would help.
I have seen canary melons in the grocery store here in western Kentucky, so maybe they’re catching on. I’m trying to grow the Halo canary melon this year, but they have a way to go yet. I’m looking forward to tasting them, as I love pears.
Nice video. Try Charleston Grey for your pollenizer. Good luck with your seedless, I quit growing them because I never found one that have good flavor. People in our area are very happy to get seeded melons.
Happy I found your new vlog. Keep them coming Travis….
Travis I wanted to pick your brain for a moment. So do to the unfortunate injury to your back, which I am happy you are healing nicely from, this would probably be the first year that you have a had to have more of a "hands off"approach to the garden. I'm sure that in itself is a challenge. But sometimes I wonder if us as gardeners tend to do "too much" the more knowledgeable we become. That is until we have circumstances such as injuries. Which makes us take a step back for a second and let nature take more of it's course. My question to you is since the injury and you have had to do this even with the Wonderful Brooklyn as well as family and friends there to support you, have you seen some unexpected improvement is some things? Examples tomatoes that you couldn't trim, some of the nicest I have seen you grow. Or the Watermelons, biggest yet, pumpkins, biggest yet regardless of variety, and now the soil quality in the patch has improved. Makes you think 🤔. Thanks for your time.
There is an easy way to estimate the weight of the large pumpkins. If you google OTT Chart it shows how the measure the pumpkin 3 ways, then add the numbers together, then the OTT chart converts the number to lbs. I don't think it works on watermelon.
I've only had luck after the stem at the fruit browns and dried
Yes I know some tell difference test for different varieties .
Great to work with enthusiastic help
Thank for showing
I've been looking for you good to see you huge harvest
Brother I'm glad to see you up moving around. I went through the same thing earlier this year with five compressed discs and I know how you feel. Me and my wife watch you all the time and really enjoy seeing the kiddos playing out there with you. Keep up the videos and we will keep watching 😁
I wouldn't even bother raking out that no till plot…unless it bugs you.
Best watermelon I've ever seen. 😂 Lovin' life
High five to Abram & Titus! Well done, young heroes!
Like Cousin Minnie Pearl of the Grand Ole Opry, there’s the price tag on Abram’s boots! Good memories!!!
Your calling your daughter TaTa. That means Grandpa in Spanish.
