David, a viewer of the channel, made the table that I created a how to video for and I couldn’t be happier!
I love how he made it to fit his needs. This right here is why I’ll always do what I do. I went away from “How To” videos, but recently I’ve felt drawn back into doing them here and there.
Thanks for sharing David!

🌻 Exciting news! 🌻
I’m excited to announce that @growhoss and Salty Dawg Homestead are collaborating to debut the NEW Vincent’s Choice Sunflower starter plugs!
These beautiful pollen-free sunflowers produce vibrant golden blooms with dark centers, grow 5–6 feet tall, and have strong stems that are perfect for cut flower bouquets or adding incredible color to your landscape.
Starter plugs give you a healthy head start without having to start them from seed.
July 3rd through July 5th, Hoss and I are celebrating the launch with a special promotion. During those three days, 10% of all Vincent’s Choice plug sales will go toward supporting Salty Dawg Homestead. So, share this with your sunflower loving friends and family!
No special link or discount code is needed.
(I will put a link below for easy access.)
If you’ve been thinking about growing some beautiful sunflowers, this is a great opportunity to get some premium sunflower plugs while supporting Hoss and Salty Dawg Homestead at the same time!
Thank you all for believing in what we’re building here at Salty Dawg Homestead. Your support is what makes collaborations like this possible, and I truly appreciate every one of you.

🌹 Peggy Martin Rose Waitlist Is Now Live! 🌹
I've received a lot of questions and interest about the Peggy Martin Roses I've been propagating, so I've created a dedicated Peggy Martin Rose page and waitlist on my website.
Now, I want to be upfront: we're still a little ways away from having plants ready for sale. The roses need more time to grow and develop strong root systems before they're ready for their new homes. When they are ready, the first release will be a relatively small batch, and I expect demand to be higher than supply.
If you're interested in owning one of these incredible roses, I highly recommend joining the waitlist now. Everyone on the waitlist will be notified before I make any public announcements, giving you the first opportunity to purchase available plants.
The Peggy Martin Rose isn't just a beautiful climbing rose—it's a symbol of resilience and perseverance, with a story that continues to inspire gardeners across the country.
👉 Join the waitlist here:

Thank you all for the excitement and support. Seeing the interest in these roses has been incredible, and I'm looking forward to getting them into your gardens when they're ready! 🌹💪🏾

These are the Hossinator Pickling Cucumbers and y’all…if you’re looking for the best pickling cucumber out there, you have to try this one. It’s so good that I only grow this cucumber. I don’t grow slicers anymore. Just this pickling cucumber. If you leave it on the vine long enough it’s good for slicing. Perfect for one person. It produces for a VERY long time. It’s can take this Georgia heat and laugh at it. 50 days to maturity. EXTREMELY prolific! It’s Monoecious, so it has male and female flowers contributing to its longer harvest window. And done for get its disease resistance to Zucchini yellow mosaic virus, Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus, Angular leaf spot, Anthracnose and Powdery mildew! I just had my first one of the season today and it was so delicious, very refreshing straight off the vine, and slightly sweet! @gardeningwithhoss #getdirty

Today’s the first day of the Father’s Day sale over at Grow Hoss
They’re running 15% off tools and supplies May 22–24, and it’s honestly a great time to grab something you’ve been putting off… or pick up a gift for dad (or yourself… lol).
Discount at checkout!
You can save on things like:
* Garden tools (like the famous wheel hoe)
* Seeding supplies
* Growing supplies
* Official Hoss merch
Just a few ideas
* Upgrade a tool you use all the time
* Grab something that makes planting faster and easier
* Pick up a wheel hoe if you’ve been on the fence about it
Nothing complicated here - just a good window to invest in tools that’ll make your time in the garden a little easier.
Sale runs through May 24 👍

I’ve been absolutely LOVING this freeze dryer! The best thing so far is freeze drying the strawberries from my backyard. The flavor is so intense!
