Quick vid of what I got sprouting up in my garden for this year. I love growing my own food. Home-grown food always taste the best. I don’t worry about GMO’s…

25 Responses to Fruit and Strength’s Garden: Crazy named tomatoes, giant watermelons, and mammoth size sunflowers
It’s over 20 years old and has seen snow almost every year and still
produces an abundance of ripe tasty medium-large figs every summer. I’m the
only person who cares about the tree but live in germany so when I visit in
the summer I cane all the figs to myself. It’s about 14ft tall and 10ft
wide. 🙂
A lot of your seedlings are stretching for light, which could lead to
problems when transplanting outside. Also i suggest you feed them a
phosphate solution to increase there cell strength and install a fan for
air circulation.
I just put them in bigger pots and a place with more light as you wrote
that. 🙂

I looooove growing different varieties, too. I appreciate the
recommendation for where to get seeds. Can’t wait to see the follow-up
video out in the garden. I know you are only a couple of hours away from
me, so our climates are pretty similar, so I wanted to offer a variety
suggestion. If you haven’t tried the Cream of Saskatchewan watermelon, I
highly suggest it.

hey I tried to eat a primarily fruit diet for a while but I seemed to be
wearing down my tooth enamel and making my teeth really sensitive. any idea
about that?
Awesome man I look forward to learning how to grow food inside my flat. 🙂

Wow, you don’t even need to bring it in when it gets cold? That’s awesome.
There is a fig tree called the “Chicago Fig” I’ve been looking into getting
and I hear it handles the cold pretty good, too.

Thank you for the tips! I’ll put it in the description so more people can
see it. I put my fan today for them. Can I get the phosphate solution at
the hardware store?

My friend! Your plants really need some more light.

Yeah, I just ate a watermelon, threw the seeds down, kick some dirt on
them, and to surprise I’d say almost everyone sprouted in my compost pile
in my back yard…and even had a few grow and ate one. It was really good,
too.

Nice stuff! At my parents house in south england they have a fig tree which
produces an abundance of figs every year and stays in the garden with ZERO
maintenance.

Nice man, how did it turn out? I’m heading to the heirloom expo in Santa
Rosa, CA in a few weeks… I think we did 160-170 tomato plants this year.
Also you should look at becoming a member of the seed saver exchange if you
haven’t already.

Well, I hope not. 😉 On a serious note there are some people who are
allergic to tomatoes.
Could be a lot of things. However, I would stay clear of making sour citrus
fruits, dried fruits and unripen fruits as a staple. Make sure to floss and
brush your teeth (but not after citrus right away…the acidity with the
brushing can strip the enamel off the teeth). I think a preference for
meals instead of constant snacking is better for the teeth, too. Hope that
helps.

I heard if you eat raw you won’t get high. You got any seeds, lol I don’t
know if I believe that, though. 😛
