Garlic looks great..,can't wait till fall garden time, Hazlehurst Georgia

We’ll I missed getting one of your fig plants, oh well congratulations for selling out so fast!👍🏻😁

I told you, you could do it!! Break the rules grow the soft neck garlic 🧄 here even in the south! I did it last year, and now you have too! Way to go Travis 👏🏽

I’m happy to hear your back is feeling better! Spinal injuries are no joke.

Thanks Travis now I’ll be humming hot diggity dog diggity oh what you do to me all day! 😂

Dang it! Sold out! My Texas farm needs a fig tree

High five on the Garlic!!!

I wanted fig trees. If you have more please let me know. Wish I'd of seen this yesterday!

You can mix the pine straw into the compost when finished to get your Browns. Those Soft Neck Garlic are looking good, I can smell them from here, it’s time in Sydney Australia to plant my Hard Neck Garlic I planted last year and some Soft Neck Garlic. The Hard Neck Garlic have lasted 6 months plus.

I missed the trees🙁 garlic look good. I’m growing garlic for the first time. I guess I’ll check mine now!

That garlic looks wonderful! You're giving me inspiration, Travis!

Build yourself a shelter for these peppers 🌶 tomatoes 🍅 and they will be perennials and build the soil better over time! Thats what they are in the Caribbean

So treat soft neck as if it was a tulip bulb! KoolBeanz Thanx for garlic shipper’s name. I’m ordering in fall-good site.

Thanks for sharing. Extremely excited you are Sold out on fig trees. Maybe next year. 🙏😎🏖🏝

It all looks great, nice job. Up here in Vermont I'll be starting seeds in soil blocks this weekend that won't see the outdoor until memorial day weekend. I tilled two plots last week, then next day four inches of heavy wet snow, had a tree come down into one of the plots crushing a critter fence. Flurries again this morning. The garlic looks awesome, keep the videos coming, you're providing inspiration and envy to us northerners.

Well, phooey!!! You cannot ship fig trees to Washington state. My neighbor gave me cuttings from his Desert King tree, but I was hoping to add a couple more varieties - love figs for jams and sauces! On the soft neck garlic - good job on mimicking the cold stratification requirement. FILAREE FARM and SQUARED ROOTS FARM are the two places where I get my garlic - have had good luck with both! Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 7:20 am, 4/26/2022.

Your garlic looks great. Storing in the fridge for 8 weeks is a game changer. We southern gardeners can grow soft and hard neck garlic. The hard neck puts out a scape that has to be cut so it will bulb.

Great show.. Those figs look great... I believe that pine is only high in acid when its green, it's the same affect as coffee, coffee is only high in acid with the part you drink, what is left is not nearly as high in acid......

Wow !! I'm so glad I found you again accidentally,,, I watched every episode of pop up camping, several many times. Hope your family is doing well. I also love this show as I'm learning much !!!

Hey Travis. Tomatoes, peppers, garlic, and the fig trees are looking awesome. As a container gardener I’m a huge fan of mulching all of my plants. I know it’s not something you do a lot of but I’d be interested in seeing you do a comparison test between mulching and no mulching. Maybe take a couple of tomato plants and mulch them, then compare how they do when the weather gets hot down in south GA.

My elephant garlic I bought from you is doing great. I'm so happy I made this decision. Yours is doing great also.

I saw your post of the garlic earlier and showed the pic to my family. They asked, "Do you have smell-o-vison on your phone?" We were near my planted garlic. Garlic looks great! No Figs for me this year. Man, you said all kinds of states to ship to and I'm not in 1. Maybe next year I can plan a trip and drive out East. Great job on all of your efforts in sharing your knowledge and propagation of your Figs. Go TyTy! For the win, eat grass. Lol ya'll take care.

I'm looking forward to my garlic starting to grow once the last of this snow melts but I'm amazed the walking onions are popping up through the snow lol.

You're looking good there Travis! Garlic looks great! I've grown an Italian Softneck for years and those bulbs are very respectable! Interesting fig project you have going on and those plants look terrific! I wouldn't sweat pine straw either. I've got hundred foot tall pine trees all down one side of my garden and can't tell that they've ever hurt me one bit. I'm really impressed with your production and professionalism! Bravo!

Made me smile 😀 about the garlic 🧄

You know that was some great garlic bulbs. Looks like you're going to have a bountiful crop of garlic this year.

That’s as big a bulb as I’ve ever grown in New Mexico. Good job. Both those rows look ready to harvest great job.

Amazing garlic 🧄 I’ve never grown any as delicious looking.

I pulled my elephant garlic out today and was happy for my first time planting that.

Your garlic looks great! I’ve had issues in the past with my dog getting into my garlic & eating the tops before they have a chance to grow very big. Still having issues keeping the dog out of the garden. The fig trees also look wonderful! Unfortunately I don’t live in any of the states you can ship the trees to. Perhaps another time if possible to ship farther west. Little kids sports is always a fun event. We have 1 daughter & 4 boys, so we’ve been involved with almost every sport since 4 years old kids through college. Family is so important, enjoy it while the kids are young. Thanks for the videos.👍🏻🌺

nice work on the Garlic, we will be following your lead here this later this year! Our Tomatoes jumped a few inches a day as well. Crazy good growth.

I read an article from Texas A&M that dry pine straw will not increase acidity . Love the stuff.

That was fast!! I’ll keep my eyes peeled for my pick for next time. Congratulations to you and your family & I hope you sell out of all of them soon!

Nice job with the garlic I like growing things they say you can't or shouldn't grow because sometimes it works out for me it works more often than knot.

Looking good around there!! I was waiting for you to say it!! Alright Alright Alright!! You done great with that garlic! Oh no 😂 surely he ain’t picking through the grass in LaLa land during the game 😂😂😂sounds like our kids!! Do you pinch off blooms on the pepper plants allowing them to grow until they reach your desired size when you want them to set fruit? Pine straw will also help hold moisture around your plants especially when you all get real hot down there!! (Thought I’d add this next bit) Pine straw is not thought to drastically increase soil acidity, making it bad for anything except acid-loving plants. While it's true that plants don't grow well under pine trees, the reasons are not due to soil acidity alone. According to research by the University of New Hampshire Extension, pine needles do not make soils more acidic when used as mulch in gardens. These assumptions stem from the observation that there are usually no plants growing in a pine forest among pine needles left on the forest floor. A major contributing factor to growth suppression is the dense root network near the soil surface that competes with other plants for moisture and nutrients. The needles themselves create a blanket that suppresses weed growth, but this is a desirable characteristic for mulches. Pine Needle Tannins Pine straw might not be bad for gardens, but pine needles do contain acidic tannins that can have some effect initially. When used around flower beds, freshly harvested pine needles contain more tannins than aged pine needles. Expect temporary acidic increase until the tannins have leached out after a few weeks, at which point the acidity levels out to roughly the average acidity of rainwater. It's true that the soil in pine forests is slightly acidic. Consider, however, that this soil is blanketed with heavy applications of pine needles over the span of decades. It takes decades to change soil pH. Leaching Tannins From Pine Straw If you want to avoid any short-term change in soil acidity, particularly when using the pine straw around plants that like alkaline soil, choose aged pine straw that has had the tannins leached from it. Leave relatively fresh pine straw in a pile and rinse it with water, allow it to dry for a few days, then rinse it again, repeating this process for a few weeks before use. Another option is to use the pine straw only around acid-loving plants or to use it around acid-loving plants at first, moving it to other plants after it ages. Acid-loving plants include strawberries (Fragaria spp.), lupines (Lupinus × hybrida) and hydrangeas (Hydrangea spp.), which grow in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 10, 4 through 8, and 3 through 9, respectively. Evergreen trees and shrubs that do well in acid soil include juniper (Juniperus spp.), which grows in USDA zones 3 through 9, and spruce (Picea spp.), USDA zones 3 through 8. Garden Benefits of Pine Straw A major benefit of pine straw, an organic mulch, is the effect of the organic matter as it breaks down in the soil. While pine needles don't add nutrients to soil, they do increase soil porosity so oxygen can better reach the roots. The fluffy material does not become compacted or form a crust on the surface like other organic mulches, making it easy for water to penetrate the mulch and reach plant roots. Pine needles break down more slowly than other organic mulches, requiring only about 1 inch of replenished material annually. The needles lock together easily, which means that, when coupled with water penetration benefits, the mulch stays in plays and won't wash away even when used on slopes. Lowe's reports that professionals recommend applying pine straw annually as a mulch.

i just enjoy enjoy your videos

Your soft neck garlic looks awesome!

Amazing video. Wish I would have caught it earlier to get one of the fig trees I wanted. They went quick. Congratulations. The math on that was a nice pay week. I look forward to spending my money with you. The garlic looked like the garlic I buy at the store so I would say a great success. Job well done my friend.

Nice garlic, nice figs. Congrats on both.

Great job with the soft-neck garlic!

I planted the same time and did the refrigerator trick. Worked like a charm! Thanks!

I asked my county agent (LSU) about pine straw mulch --. He said it didn’t do enough acidity to matter. Travis, try using a “grease pencil” or “China marker” on your plant name tags

Just moving from one success story to another. Good to see that you've hooked up with Drip Depot, a solid outfit. They carry an emitter called an "adjustable mini bubbler 6" stake" that will let you custom control the irrigation rate specifically to each fig tree from zero to 31 GPH. I see that you have a spectrum of tree sizes in the orchard and each size will benefit from just the right amount of water and nutrients. Best of luck launching the new fig nursery venture. Jasmine Street Farm

All right, all right, all right! Great job with the soft neck garlic. Beautiful orchard you are growing. Figs, I'm wondering if they would grow in Michigan. Stink I guess it wouldn't work here. 😕

Wow, that's some fine looking garlic ! I'm in zone 9 a/b and have had luck only once growing garlic. The year I did, I made garlic powder and it was sublime.

Travis, the garlic looks great. I will be trying your method this fall. I believe you shared your planting ideas for garlic back in the fall. Plan to review that vlog before planting mine. Thanks for sharing.

My maters are in the ground from May (ish) until around November here in farther N. Commifornia low inlands, far smaller scale I find light mulch, not the wood chips I used around tress and bushes, to be very worthwhile even just for water savings alone.

I have always grown hard neck ad mine isn’t as far along as yours yet. With my hard neck I wait till the bottom 3-4 leaves die back before I harvest so I am experimenting myself! I was also able to sag a tree I am excited! Glad I at least got one!

You break the scapes off then wait about 3to4 weeks to harvest and your bulbs will be much larger with larger cloves

Congrats on the garlic..a lot of Southerners say it can't be done.

I’m late to the party plus it’s a week until the “eagle squats” (annuity from Uncle Sam), and the fig trees are sold out. Please plan on this next year, too. All the gardens look spectacular!

looks good

I am here smelling the garlic, lol!

When I saw that row of Island Star, I thought that it was ready for harvest or close to it. Kettle River Giant can probably go a little bit longer. The 2 bulbs you pulled looked good and appeared to be a good size. You talking about your kids soccer game reminded me of my friends' kids T Ball game years ago. About halfway through the game, his kid was wandering around the fence in the outfield playing with the grass. By the end of the game 3 more kids were just playing in the dirt of the infield. Some of them were putting dirt inside their pants....etc 🤣 Funny thinking back on that.

Nice bulbs. Great video. Thanks

When it comes to Fig Trees we have a heirloom Black Mission FIg Tree that came from a cutting off my 3x great grandfathers original property that the family still owns. Too bad with the shipping restrictions between states or I would give you some to grow.

Travis, try fertilizing with alfalfa pellets. It’s the best fertilizer I have ever tried.It’s organic, cheap and you can’t use to much since it is a cold fertilizer.You will be impressed.

glad i was able to get one, thanks! and thanks for all the info, i have learned a lot.

Hi, I been watching since your day one, & your others before your day one! Way to go your determination is far reaching inspiration! I got excited when u talked fig trees then deflated when I realized I’m in PA & it’s a no go 😞but nonetheless Congratulations on your Continuation & Exploration! I would purchase plants/trees in a blink of an eye from LAZY DOG, I know INTEGRITY When I see it‼️

Mulching tomatoes helps keep dirt from splashing your plants and spreading diseases.

Garlic looks awesome! I'm getting close on mine hope they are as big as yours.

Several years ago I planted some soft neck garlic and I did the stratification also. The only thing I didn't do was mulch with straw and my garlic didn't get as big a bulb as yours. I'm probably going to stick to the elephant garlic if I like the flavor, I planted my first elephant garlic in the fall and they are mulched somewhat. I have a wild garlic leek that reproduces itself and it has a strong garlic smell and taste. If you ever get it started in the shade it thrives without any help from.

Great video as always! Well looks like I'm going to have to try another one of your crops. Those garlic look great! I never have done anything with the garlic that grows here. It always does fine when I don't pay it any attention much like those random tomatoes that grew last year lol. I will have to go back to your videos on the garlic to get ready for them this fall. I ordered my fig from starks this year. Just 1 tree cause we'll again I'm the only one who will eat them. But I do want to get at least 1 more variety. (20 trees later...)loving those yellow tags! I've got an idea for those I will share as soon as I try it out for myself to make sure it works! Also I thought about taking pics of the trees and editing underneath to label the varieties in case I lose a tag, I can go to my flash drive to remind me what was what. My agrothrive looks like it will be delivered today! Just in time. Oh BTW I'm the one who sends you posts on Instagram, like the carrot harvesting and that beautiful wreath of flowers (I still have yet to find out what they are). To each their own on what works right? Go Tyty!

Dang I was 5 hours late on the fig looks like. Glad to see your success on the sell out. Love the content on your channel. But I’ll be looking for another chance next go.

nice looking garlic, gonna try that this year in central Louisiana see if I can grow some .

I didn’t know that you broke your back Travis. That’s horrible and I don’t know how I missed that. Although I didn’t know that you had your own channel either. Bless your heart 💜

I was wondering if you were going to do a Florida weave on your peppers. I have five different types of peppers and about 70 different plants and it's starting to look like I need to do it myself! Love those cherry tomato cages but they look a little on the pricey side, love those fig trees! I planted 2 and they are doing so good. I may need to try and grab a couple of your variety. Awesome video Travis keep on the good work!

That looked like large garlic to me. I would say you did good! I grow hardneck garlic. No good reason, just what I got started with years ago. I need to venture out & grow some softneck & elephant garlic. Thanks!

It would be neat to see ya cook with this stuff you grow

We grow softneck in california, I was told the hardneck needs cooler temps and wont grow here but softneck doesnt and will grow here, considering like 90% of the us grown garlic is around gilroy california im nearby the garlic production center of the US and thats what they told me

It takes so long for that pine straw to break down.....I use White Pine needles, of which we have plenty off, in all my gardens, both flower and vegetables, and have for decades without problems!

was going to ask about straight run instead of weave, especially for bigger plants that are harder to weave around. but you went ahead and answered my question before i asked. seems you dont like your stick with loop. i think needs longer stick with another loop screwed into base of the other side of stick. sticky business :) watch out with those pine needles, as pine tree litter is somewhat alleopathic. it's not about ph but the VOCs.

You’re going to love the soft neck garlic & I suspect you’ll be hooked on growing it. Of all the crops I grow, I find garlic the most satisfying to grow. I haven’t had to buy garlic in a few years now because I grow from my own stock. That’s good eatin’ 🤩🧄

I see you’ve got a Georgia walking potato in near the peppers.

I know that you refrigerated the soft neck garlic, but do you also store the elephant garlic in the fridge prior to planting? My elephant garlic grew and made decent bulbs, but so far has not formed individual cloves. We had an extremely warm December here in Texas and pretty mild winter overall, so I'm not sure if that has had a negative effect on my crop or not.

Hey Travis, I planted my garlic same time and did stratification in fridge for 8 weeks as well, Hope mine turn out as good as yours.

I came close to missing the fig tree sale. There were only two kinds left and I went with the Improved Celeste. Sounds like it might be a good one for a first time fig tree grower like me. It is another LSU variety, so it can't be that bad.

Im in AZ so it looks like you can’t ship to me anyways. I’m 13 hours late watching and you’re all sold out on the figs.

If you put that piece that you broke off in water you will get roots to replant in a week or so

We have high PH soil here in the high desert. Tomatoes grow like weeds here, they don't seem to mind it at all. Honestly the only thing we can't grow is blueberries

Get you sum aluminum tags on Amazon. Work better for trees and such.

Just got my 'Maters and peppers going yesterday (our official last frost free day is May 10), Trees; is there anyone you know that's propagating Paw Paw trees. My Grandfather had one on his farm in south-central KY. They have a very short shelf life but when properly ripe has an almost Banana like flavor and texture.

Hello Travis, coming to you from Pooler Georgia about 10 miles west of Savannah ga. I just harvested a 4x8 bed of softneck garlic on April 20, they were planted on December 1,2021 called ( inchelium red ) it’s a softneck variety in the artichoke family. It’s also referred to as a gourmet garlic, the absolute best tasting garlic I have ever grown. I normally harvest this variety in the first or second week of may, never have they produced this early. I’m going to chalk it up to the nature safe 8-5-5 and agrothrive bloom version.

do you have or can you recommend any videos that show how to install drip tape?

Wow, the figs went fast. What 9s the difference in LSU purple and Tiger? I have the purple and some.old brown Turkey but looking to add something different.

Great looking garlic, hope i didn't mess my elephant garlic up, I cut the scapes off over the weekend 🤦. Man your fig trees sure went fast, went to website and they're sold out, bad for me great for you!!! ✌

I fell asleep watching the video last night ... missed out ... they are all sold out : (

Hey Travis...Great video. I hope my garlic turns out that good too. So you put your fig cuttings directly in the ground, once they got big enough? I was considering putting mine in bigger pots until they become more mature, of course I don't have near as many as you do 🙂

With your elephant garlic do you take the scapes off as they appear? also, have you ever planted the bulbets right back in the ground when you harvest the garlic?

Man, you have a nice looking garden. You would literally laugh if you saw a picture of my garden. I want to have a nice one, but the frickin weeds are killing me!!! They are everywhere and out of control. This year I sprayed roundup about ten days before I planted. It killed them all but then many more grew back! I have had 5 back surgeries with 2 fusions. 1 neck surgery fusion. And I have CRPS, which is extremely painful. I have to garden to survive, due to being on disability, but the weeds won this year. I gave up! I have 4 and 5 foot weeds right now. Going to seed and making a huge disaster. I am so very sad. Only thing that survived the weeds is the sweet corn, potatoes, one yellow squash, a few green beans, a few tomatoes, and a few onions. The weeds took over the all the beets, all the peppers, all of the lettuce,, all of the eggplant, all of the radishes, all the carrots, most of the tomatoes, most of the onions, most of the squash, most of the green beans What, if anything, can I spray on my garden to help with weeds that is safe?? You would literally laugh if you saw a picture of my garden.

I'm not growing elephant garlic anymore. Takes to long and I can grow more of something else with a faster turn around.

Where did you get those tomato cages!?

Will most of these figs do ok in zone 10b

What do you do if my elephant garlic is bolting and hasn't formed a bulb yet

Hey Travis, my harvested elephant garlic is turning green. Is it still good?

Where do you get your pine straw?

Where do you get your garlic to grow

do you mulch your tomatoes for weeds

I'm a Canadian who lives 10 minutes away from a very well established Mennonite population. I understand very much how they live; my grandmother was a Mennonite. I have a lot of Respect for their way of life, but I wouldn't want to live quite that lifestyle every day. But, I do get my meat, eggs & many veggies for winter through them. I do realize that we definitely don't know the truth about where & how Covid came from. Yes, I believe it was science that Shouldn't have happened that has unleashed a Dangerous "gain of function" into the natural world. & don't doubt that Big Pharma was involved. But, I willingly got my 1st 2 jabs & I'm still happy I did. I'm glad it's worked well for me ~ cuz I know a number who had reactions. All different of course. But, I also know 2 people who caught covid in the First round, before the vaccines. Both have terrible Long Covid symptoms. All the people I know got covid After getting 'the jab' are currently just fine. Most people in my area, have just been moderately or mildly ill from it. We were very fortunate. Cuz my son's in-laws, who's extended family lives in another province, suffered over 25 losses to the original covid in 2020, between the 2 families. But.. the Amish & Mennonite population are not incorrect to be wary of our medical systems. I'm wary of our medical systems.. lol.. It's just wise.. But, I've had some strange & whacky things happen in my health over my 60 years ~ I probably wouldn't still be here if I had not relied on my medical system.. & I assure you ~ my family is glad I "tried a New treatment".. cuz they are glad I'm still here.. And I'm glad your Amish population faired well through the pandemic. I know it was not so kind to our Mennonite population, especially the elders. They lost quite a few, in the 1st year; especially considering their % to the rest of us. My take away from Covid.. I'd mask again in a heartbeat ~ really, it took zero effort for me.. might not be perfect, especially in close extended contact, but I do believe they help slow the spread of many viruses. I'd happily stay away from most, or gather outside if possible when gathering with larger family & friends groups. We were already doing that kind of thing, long before Covid was a word ~ because we have nurses & ECEs in our mix. We just hadn't realized what a true benefit it was before covid. We just new that we didn't catch things after gatherings when we did this. Whether this was natural or man-made, this virus Killed a Lot of people, harmed the World's economy, & science gave Mother Nature quite a bonus to use against us in the future ... .. well, unless we manage to wipe us out 1st.. which is a definite possibility too. Thanks for the video.. interesting other side to consider.. & stay safe, enjoy the simple life in Amish country (that comes with an incredible amount of work, lol.. I do know how much effort growing our food really is & why I'd rather pay the people who grew my food..) 😊

That piece of tomato that broke when trying to fix it in the cage…. Stick that in water and wait for some roots then put that back in the ground!!!!
