Thank you, Hope! Yes, seedaholics! Love your channel name! I've grown it before and liked it but it's been a long time. I went a little crazy on the cherry tomatoes this year and I can't wait! I even added a few more varieties after making this video 🙈 It's a real problem 😂

Thank you! I didn't even realize you could see it there behind me ❤

It seems like we always either have too much rain or not enough, never a happy medium 😆 I'm planting way more this year so hopefully we can keep up with it. I hope y'all have a good growing year! Thank you for watching!

Yes, I'm so excited! Hopefully I can channel that feeling this summer when it feels like we're drowning in squash and tomatoes 😆

Thank you, Nicki! That's awesome to know!

Oh, that's a good idea and a new one for me! Where did you find the binder pockets for seeds? I love Baker Creek and have had close to 100% germination too, all except for that one dud packet of Filius Blue Peppers 😂

@@thislovelylittlefarmhouse Amazon has the seed pockets for binders, they are well made and will hold 2 packs of seeds so you can do front and back on each page

I'm pretty sure I grew it one of my first years and liked it. Definitely one to consider going back to! Cherry tomatoes are just SO GOOD!

Thank you so much for your sweet comment Andrea! I'm in zone 8b right on the border of 9 in southern Louisiana so we have a long growing season and typically lots of rain! It can be strangely hit or miss though. We'll go for months of rain every single day and then it'll change to months with barely any rain. That definitely makes it difficult to keep a consistent moisture for the plants. We have a row garden and also added raised beds last year. I'm hoping to do a garden tour soon. In our row garden, we definitely need to do some amending. Our soil is naturally pretty poor. For the raised beds, we bought some garden soil that is basically potting soil. Real sandy so it drains good and stays loose. I just started a big compost pile so I'm super excited to get that going and add some nutrients to our soil that way. I do start my seeds early indoors, I planted most of them last week and have a few more left to plant. I made a video last year about starting my seeds and my seed starting setup if your interested to see more about that. As far as pests, I'm still learning about that one. We do have lots of squash bugs and I haven't really found a good way to manage them naturally so we just deal with it. We have lots of tomato hornworms and I pick them off by hand using a black bulb flash light at night. They glow in the black light...it's really cool! The other main thing is birds and our guineas getting my tomatoes before I can so this year I'm going to do some bird netting for that. I hope that answers all of your questions 😁 gardening is definitely a learning journey but so rewarding and satisfying!

Ohhh, I'll have to check that out. Thank you for the heads up!

Thank you! I did know but I don't know what caused it. Thankfully it gets better. I'm sorry, I know it's a really obnoxious sound! It's strange, my mom said she couldn't hardly hear it.

Hi Dianna, thank you for your feedback! (Mostly) organic gardening and especially with heirlooms is a learning experience. Our failures last year were either on our part with the bad soil, or out of our control like the rain. It definitely doesn't mean the seeds or company were bad and that's why I'm giving the same varieties another try this year as well as adding new ones. I'm still learning which varieties I prefer and which do well in my climate. I'm sorry that you were disappointed but I try hard to keep my channel real and authentic. If I only shared rave reviews I don't think it would be very helpful. Thank you for watching!

Its not really what her recommendations are its more what she is trying. I like the honesty its refreshing :) I also just love seeing what everyone is growing!!!

@@brittanyragon6033 thank you for watching and I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

@Dianna Johnston I believe your comment on this video to be quite in-constructive. At the very least she should get credit for taking her precious time to tell us her experience with these seeds and how they grew and tasted. There will always be beginning gardeners and we need to say “thank you” to those that use KZfaq as a platform to share any gardening tips, good and bad. May God Bless you and your family!

@@thislovelylittlefarmhouse you handled this comment well. I really enjoyed your video. It was exactly what you said it would be in the title.
