A wonderful walkthrough, Heather! You mentioned wanting something else to put in the Greenstalk instead of beans that will still have the potential to produce in the time left before the frost... And I'm going to go against the grain and say to maybe try some sprouting broccoli in a few layers of the Greenstalk.
I wondered if I could get away with that... I could start something in the house to put out in a few weeks to a month just to see! It makes sense to put something frost-hardy in there. I thought about chard.
Thank you for the tour! It's always a blessing to see your garden! Even though you are not getting tomatoes like last year, they still look good. And with the new varieties is always good. Cooler days are here, and I can breathe easier now. Love you, your family, and all your animals ❤️
So excited about the cooler days!
My oldest boy and I enjoy your videos together most mornings❤ we loved the tip for distinguishing tomato varieties😊
Your music at the beginning is a great choice. Makes me think of farming. Thanks for sharing your story. We really appreciate your story.
Thanks so much!!
Good morning, Loving the way everything is coming out.
Thank You! ♥
I'm in eastern Washington zone 7, we also have been having a heat wave and my black krim just started blushing this week.
The light orange pepper is a Pumpkin jalapeno
Yeah?! Thanks!
Your garden is so gorgeous. Can’t wait to see what you do with the green stalks.
Great walk through of the garden. I grow Black Krim as it's one of our favorites. Mine are all a darker red color on the bottom and a dark green on the top. They are at least the size of a baseball but more flatter shaped. We have been picking our tomatoes at the flush stage and they are delicious. The ones we let ripen on the vine all have tougher skins.
Wonderful video Heather! Beauty, Bounty and Blessings from your garden. 💜👍💜 Aunt Beth
Hugs Aunt Beth!
❤❤❤ I have never grown tomatillos and I was under the impression they were a green tomato and tasted like a green tomato. It’s going on my list to plant next year!❤❤❤
So much beauty to see in the gardens and greenhouse, thank you Heather! I am super excited too about the pumpkin patch, it is looking fabulous. It's also really cool how different the zinnias are between flowers, some have that middle section more raised than others - they're all lovely. Havoc making goatie goat noises haha. Nice little haul of peppers and tomatoes today, and really love the idea of using the malabar spinach as a wrap - sounds yummy. I love spinach, but haven't ever had malabar (that I am aware of) so it's cool to see how it is different from other spinach. Can't wait to see the greenhouse continue evolving and what you plan to plant for the fall/winter. 💚💚
The electric canner puts of quite a bit of steam but I really do love it!!
my big tomatoes are just starting to blush finally. it cooled off in missouri and they are starting to rippen. lets just hope for the weather to not be so dang hot
Looks like at least here in KY it's supposed to be pretty nice!
❤❤❤. Another great video. ❤❤❤
Thanks Nollie! ♥♥♥
Everything looks so green and healthy! Thanks for the tour :) Your "puny" pepper plants are bigger than the ones I planted in April!!!
Ugh hopefully both of ours have a growth spurt soon!
Love the garden tours. I have so many tomatoes that dropped their blossoms 23:58 due to heat. It is so disappointing. They were loaded.
Hugs. They could set more blooms when it cools off!
@@SageandStoneHomestead I sure hope so! Every season is a teaching moment!
From our experience, when we grew eggplant to sell, is that your "Japanese type" eggplant should be about 12" at harvest. They can become bitter if they get much larger.
Great tip! Thank you!
I love your garden tours! Despite being a fan of the Black Krim tomato, this is my first year of growing the variety. So I don't have a lot of experience but have seen the plants and fruit in my son's garden in years past. The tomatoes you picked from the plant in your greenhouse don't seem to have the Black Krim coloring. I haven't gotten any fruit yet as my planting was very late but my BK plants are the darkest green of all varieties tomato plants. They are very different in the color of the foliage almost evergreen color. One thing to consider with the container vs. in ground is the heat the roots are reaching. I found this to be difficult for my Greenstalk containers but it could also be something you are seeing in the greenhouse. Thanks so much for sharing with us! Stay safe!!🙏❤
Very possible!!! I didn't consider the roots.
Another great tour! Those kitties are cute! We just got 2. They are like tiny acrobats chasing each other all over the house!
Awe congrats!
@@SageandStoneHomestead Thank you! They are so much fun! The dogs of course disagree, but they will get over it!
Heather your pumpkin patch brings me so much joy! I am sad i didn’t get my patch this year but look forward to next year while live vicariously through yours this year ❤❤
The rain this week has made the vines grow like crazy too!!! I can't wait to show you all in this week's tour!!
Looks like another beautiful productive summer garden for you and the family, Yeah!🫶
Indeed! ♥
I really want to grow pumpkins. One day!
Highly recommend the Dutch fork pie pumpkin (so far)!!
Lovely garden visit Heather! Thank you! Blessings on your family and your growing season!🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕
Thanks for watching! ❤️
That tomato you got labeled as a Black Crim...Looks a Lot like a tomato I grew years ago called Oregon Spring.
Thoughts and Prayers.Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings.

There are green, yellow, and purple varieties of tomatillos
Thank you! My seed packet doesn't specify. They are good!
I’m a brand new gardener. I have never grown anything until this summer. I planted 2 watermelon plants. I don’t know what variety they are. Any way to tell when they should be harvested? I have 8 melons growing. The biggest one is about the size of a basketball. I don’t want to pick it too soon but not too late either. This has been a fun learning experience! I look forward to planting more next year!
Look up the tendril technique for telling when a watermelon is ripe!
I love the Malabar spinach it’s looking so good! I’ve wanted to try growing it for a couple years and haven’t so maybe next year will be the year.
It's been such a joy!!
Beautiful garden tour ! And there was a close-up of your left arm, it seems that the parsnip attack is just a bad memory now.
Yes!!! I can't believe how good that arm looks already
It looks like it slug damaging the okra.. amazing garden.. New friend here.
Hello friend! ♥
Hello Heather, I think your eggplant is one from Baker Creek: EGGPLANT SEEDS
NAGASAKI LONG "We love the extra-long fruit of this heirloom eggplant from Nagasaki, Japan, but its shape is just one of its charms." From the catalog. I bought two of the purple eggplants from the Indian market yesterday and then in the afternoon found I have two of these about the size of your so I will take and use those this weekend. I kind of like the Ping Tung better but these are good also. Wow, who knew I would use all this useless knowledge renting space in my brain! I also picked my "first tomato": Cherokee Purple tomato yesterday is was blushing and is on the counter looks even better today.
I love chaos save all the pretty gardens for magazines and seed catalogs. God bless the mess. Cya next thyme, Steven
Chaos gardening is definitely how things end up for me by the heat of summer!!
lol my chaos looking garden happens now till end of august as I do very poorly in heat so weeds get away at time like now with heat index/humidex 100'sf/40's c . looking great, you can almost call the pig pen/ pumpkin area a 3 sisters garden, just need some pole beans (still time). the sunflowers are substitute for corn lol.
I think the squash is too big for the beans right now!
Beautiful walk through ❤❤❤ 🕊️
I love your show and was just wondering what you do about your cats getting into the garden beds? I have a cat and has been using some of my garden beds as his personal litter box!😂😢
It's something I haven't totally figured out myself. The kittens are pretty new to our farm and they also use one specific bed as a litterbox. Right now there's a melon planted in the middle of it...
I believe the black krim are not black because you are growing them in a greenhouse. Jess says the anthocyanins don't color right in a greenhouse. I'm not an expert but I remember that from one of her old videos. Do you have any other dark tomato varieties in there ?
Yes the brandywine black are purpling up!
Question about Elderberry and Wild Muscadines…How dark should the berries be because I think mine are turning to be ready to pick because the birds are eating them and knocking them off but there is still some green in the heads but they not BLACK they look like a reddish purple color if I am describing it correctly…is that when I harvest them? Also are you familiar with wild muscadine grapes? I found a ton of them all around my property and I found some that is massive in size and not making grapes this season so I uprooted it and brought it up to the house and I have it in water and I am trying to figure where to put it and HOW to do it should I try to trellis the vines or just cut everything back and should they be in water until lI figure out my solution or will it rot the roots? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!😊Thanks In advance.
CZcams unsubscribed me 😢but I’m back subscribed
Really?! Goodness I'm glad you noticed !
What are you going to do with the birdhouse guards?
Christmas presents for family this year! Need to make them into birdhouses
Hi Heather! Quick question about your garden, how far apart are your raised beds where you have the cattle panel arches that span the beds? I’m about to have several 16’ beds constructed and I’d love to have those beautiful arches with vines of sweet pea.
The posts for the archway are 6 feet apart! The beds were arranged after the posts were set, so they are less than 6 feet apart, probably around5.5 feet
@@SageandStoneHomestead Oh wow I didn’t think that pathway was that wide! I guess the camera can cause visual perception distortions. Thank you so much for replying, I really appreciate it. Looking forward to your next video💗
@@rachellincoln846 we do have a fisheye lens on the camera and it does make things look different, usually bigger!
@@SageandStoneHomestead Ok I have a follow up question. My local Tractor Supply only sells the cattle panels (galvanized) in 16’x50” lengths. Are you using welded wire (the stuff that comes on a roll) for your arches? If not then where did you get it long enough that it could span 6’ beds and still be able to be high enough to walk under plus make an arch?
Heather, as always you're such a joy. I am so amazed by your happy, smiling personality. I'm a 50 year old and I would like to ask if you'd watch a video that features my garden. I'd like to make garden videos, but I'd rather not show my face. Could you give me your opinion? No obligation. I'm just grateful you're so true to yourself. Utube channel Late Bloomer, " Oceanside Hillside Garden." Thank you
Yes!! I Will! Be there this evening. I have lots of friends that take vlogs without showing their face and it can be done very well ♥
Liz with over 20 years of gardening experience and such a beautiful and diverse hillside garden you've got a lot to offer the gardening community even if you don't want to show your face! I say go for it as far as making videos of your garden! I'd love to follow you in that endeavor!!!
That passion fruit gazebo is GORGEOUS!!
@SageandStoneHomestead you're such a blessing! So kind and so true North. Thank you.
