When I was a teenager I worked at an ice retail dock that also sold watermelons. The varieties that were sold were black diamond, Charleston grey, and a few seedless. They were trucked from the Rio Grande Valley to north central Texas. A truck would pull up and off to sell watermelons and the manager would agree and buy a hundred or so. Then we started unloading them with a chain of men pitching them from the truck to the ice dock and into the storage room. Strangely, we always dropped the last one and had to eat it to prevent waste.

Hollis and Nancy were truly blessed. Not because of what they are doing, but seeing how their minds and hearts are, how they just want to help with information for us and food for their community. Btw... is it me, or does it seem Hollis is a really mellow cat? I can imagine NOTHING in this world bothering him! Lol! If deers got my black berries I would be livid! But this good’ol boy just shrugs it off and says, LETS FIX IT! When I grow up, I wanna be just like Hollis!

Hey, I love watching you all in your garden! Wish I had recognized my love for gardening when I was younger. Recently had an opportunity to move to farm country next door to my sister and we have started a larger garden together. What used to take one of us to get the job done now takes two! I am enjoying every moment spent in the garden next year we are starting a small orchard and building a green house to expand our efforts. Please keep posting videos, often times I don’t t have time to read so I always refer to your videos for advice and instruction. Such a wonderful couple and Bing Bing adds a touch of sweet nostalgia for us having had Jack Russell’s in the family. God bless you and keep you safe.

I found your channel last night and watched several of your videos, and today we (me and my husband) went to Home Depot and bought everything you were using and 5 gallon buckets to try your potato growing recommendation...so I came back home and am doing to seeding, planting, etc for the greenhouse...and I watched this video bc I found these Rattlesnake Watermelon seeds at HD...I came to sit down in front of my computer to choose another video of yours since this one ended and there was the scripture you shared at the end of this video. Psalms 91: 9-10...I am doing all this planting, growing and learning to take care of my family bc I can see the writing on the wall. I've been talking with God a lot lately and I have an issue with handing him my worries and letting him handle them....I am a worrier...lol. God used your channel to talk to me today. I'd never heard that scripture before and it was the exact word I needed today as I am panic planting and stocking up and canning, etc etc etc....I felt a calm come over me when I read that. Thank you both so much! God Bless you both. ~Kelly

Amazing how different people go about planting. We seed out our watermelon around February 20th in greenhouses and drop them 2ft apart in rows 4 to 5 ft apart around march 15th.I personally only grow jubilee to sell at market, and it just goes to show ya how different we all are and I'm sure yall had a great harvest. But me, I'd have kept those Georgia rattlesnakes for eating and fed those seedless to my chickens!😂

It’s my understanding that any seeded variety watermelon can act as pollinator for a non-seeded variety. So your Georgia Rattlesnake could have acted as your pollinator as long as there was one for every 3 unseeded watermelon plant.
@HollisNancysHomestead
@HollisNancysHomestead 3 жыл бұрын
This is true but we had the Rattlesnakes separate from the triploids so we added the pollinator. We also wanted to emphasize that a pollinator was needed for the triploids just in case some folks are only wanting to grow seedless melons ❤️

Thank you for the notes. I copied them to the T. You never know when we won't have the internet anymore but due to a grid failure and may have to grow our own food without KZfaq

I've been watching your channel since you were in Newport News. I would just like to compliment you and Nancy. And Bing Bing needs his own channel. I love this dog, so cute! I like your format of the videos. I like watching videos the way you format your videos. You are methodical in your explanation and diagrams, and you show all of the steps and progress in the same video. I know how much work you put into producing the channel, but I appreciate your channel. It's so easy for someone to show how to plant something, but you have to wait weeks for an update, if they even do one at all. I am the type of person that needs to know 10 steps ahead of me when I take on a project. I tell you when you finally plow this field after the watermelons are done, you will have a very fertile land garden between the Black Kow and fish heads. Your next crop of whatever you plant will be very happy. Thank you again.
