Picking tomatoes before the rain)

Good morning everybody, it's Debbie with the Pick and Coop Farmstead and yes, I'm wearing a sweatshirt. It's only 61 degrees out in the garden. Today is Saturday morning and I kind of wanted to clarify something. I did put up a video the other day that I had saw on a couple of different sites. I usually use three and if they all say the same thing, then I tend to believe that it is valid information. It was on trimming brussel sprouts and I had two of my viewers, and thank you for your comments by the way, saying that they didn't really see any evidence of trimming brussel sprouts to help. Now when I first started trimming the lower leaves on my brussel sprouts, I was only doing the brown nasty leaves, you know, and then I saw three different videos and that said that yes, it does help. You just every once in a while kind of trim up from the bottom and it helps the the brussel sprouts mature. So I thought I would share that information with everybody and of course I did not attach my sources there. So a nice gentleman the other day was saying that he tried it with and without and he said he didn't see any evidence of trimming that it really helped with the maturity of the sprouts. So I thought well and he wanted to know where my sources were. So I went back and I looked them up and I attached three different ones and they were all reputable people. So I think I only have like three brussel sprout plants and I think I'm just going to keep trimming them and because I am planting them again in my fall garden, keep trimming them and and help because I was going to retract that information and I thought well no there's enough information out there that supports that it does help. So do your own research, do your own judgment, maybe just trim one up and don't trim the rest and see how that works out for you. I only have three plants so I'm going to go ahead and keep trimming mine up as they get taller and see how that goes. So anywho and keep your comments coming. That's how I learn, that's how we all learn. So thank you very much you guys. All right so we're out in the garden let's see what we can find. All right so I picked all my zinnias that were bloomed out. We're supposed to get rain this evening so I thought well instead of these getting ruined I might as well put them in a vase. I got some dill and of course calendula and I did get a few little sprigs of they're buried in here holy basil and then I picked a little handful of these little they're Oregon spring tomatoes starting to turn red. I didn't want to take the chance of them splitting because I don't think we're going to get that much rain but you never know. All right so that's about all I have for you today. It's a short video everything's looking really good out here. I do think however that my cauliflower is going to seed but that's okay I can just save the seeds from those. I mean there's always something that you can do you know with your plants. So that's all I have for you today. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you're happy, healthy, safe. I hope the sun is shining where you are. If not I hope you're getting just the right amount of rain hopefully and again God bless you all and thank you so much. Have a great day. Happy gardening. We'll see you next time. Bye-bye.
