If you grow Fennel, Dill, or Parsley where Black Swallowtail Butterflies are, you have probably had their caterpillars on those plants. In this video, I'll show you how I deal with it when I get too many Black Swallowtail caterpillars.

I've been doing some corn crossing for the last several years. I crossed Japonica corn with some ornamental popcorn. I'm trying to create a very ornamental popcorn that looks good and pops good, and also tastes good.

I lost of folks don't have time to watch longer videos, so I thought that I would experiment with posting some shorter updates of specific things we are growing in the garden.

This is a busy time of year for vegetable gardeners. I'm no exception. I am planting seeds in the ground, and at the same time, I'm taking care of many plants indoors because it's too soon to put them outdoors. In this video, I'll go over some of what has been going on in our garden over the last week.

This is a taste test of a tomato that I grew a long time ago. Of all of the tomatoes that I've ever grown, a Black Krim tasted the best to me. Some years are better than others, but it was a Black Krim tomato that had the best taste to me in our garden. If you've never grown one, it's worth a try. They do crack a little easier than some other tomatoes, but the taste would make it well worth growing for some people.

You know most tomatoes are ripe when they turn red, but Indigo Rose tomatoes are a tomato of a different color. For that reason, the first thing I wondered when they started looking black in color was....how do you tell when they are ripe? In this video, I will show you the color changes as they progress, and show you how to tell when they are ripe.

Puma peppers are one of the most beautiful peppers I've ever grown. They aren't for everyone though. They can be pretty hot.

I grew these tomatoes about 6 or 7 years ago. I thought that some folks might enjoy seeing them and hearing a little about them. They are Black Krim, Striped German, Brandywine Red, Boxcar Willie, Mortgage Lifter, and Belgium Giant.

I grew Old German heirloom tomatoes about 6 or 7 years ago. I found that it did fairly well during a mild summer, but during a typical summer, it didn't like the heat here. It might be a good choice for folks who have a milder climate.

This is a look at a Mortgage Lifter tomato plant that we grew one year. It's a good look at just how many blooms and tomatoes they can have on them. For some reason, they did well early here, but didn't seem to like our hot summers.

This is a brand new F1 hybrid pepper that I will be taste testing for the first time. It is an Oda sweet pepper crossed with an unknow pepper. Spoiler alert.....the unknown pepper was hot.

This video shows some Velvet Queen Sunflowers that we grew. They are one of my favorite types of sunflowers to grow. They are not only beautiful to look at, but they attract pollinators too.

I've grown cucumbers in our very large tomato cages for years now. If you've never grown cucumbers vertically, it is definitely worth a try. First of all, it saves space because instead of sprawling on the ground in all directions, they climb straight up a trellis or cage. Second, since the cucumbers are hanging, they end up being much straighter. And third, they are much easier to harvest because they are up off the ground. I didn't mention it in the video, but they are also easier to find when grown vertically.

If you see a wasp crawling around on your Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, or Brussel Sprouts, they are probably looking for worms to eat. They love to eat Cabbage Worms and Cabbage Loopers. Of course, you should keep your distance from wasps, but if you don't mind them being in your garden, they can help you out by eating the worms that eat your Brassicas.

I harvested 8 different peppers from one plant last year. I was able to do that because I grafted 7 different peppers onto the same plant.
