Jeff from East Tennessee! I am 55 years old!! The BEAR got me about 3 weeks ago! It was my first time!! I worked outside all day on a Saturday!! To me it was not hot!! Now it is blazing hot!! I just drink too much sodas! I drink water but this time it was not enough!! I was down for almost a week!! Drink lots of water!!!

Interesting! Your taste sense is probably enhanced when blindfolded. 🙂 I love the show. Mama Hoss is mischievous. 😄

Tomatoes this year were a bit of a disaster for us. Mr old goat is in the shelf by the flowers behind Mr Greg. Thank y'all for sharing and have a blessed day.

Great visit,,,, I laughed till I hurt. Ms Sheila couldn’t stop laughing nor could I. Greg bad trick on you 😂 was it hot?? 😂❤

Better boy, lemon boy, Hossinator, and tie dye was the order

About 20 years ago one of my favorite neighbors who was very healthy, always riding his bike all the time. He had just retired and was only about 57. He was push mowing in August and got overheated and collapsed. The EMT's came out and revived him, cooled him down and gave him a stern warning to not go back outside. He didn't listed and he collapsed again and couldn't be revived! It was heartbreaking for his wife and children!

Good to hear your discussion on heat exhaustion! The bear got me a few years ago and you are correct that it recurs easier once you had the bear. My symptoms were major fatigue and cramping in my hands and legs. The key is hydration days before and during the time you are working in the heat. I have found hydration with water and sports drinks helps avoid the bear. I am working in the garden at sunup and have installed floodlights around the garden where I can work before daylight to avoid the heat.

Great show! Thanks for your concern, brother Greg! I think I’ve got about 10 years on you (69 in August) and that heat tolerance doesn’t get any better! These micro fiber “cool rags” around your neck really help too! Head, neck, and shoulders are key “thermostats” for the body. Keep them warm in the cold and cool in the hot and it really helps! A drink for me, a little on the head, a little on the neck! I’ve danced with that dang bear a few times and it ain’t fun! Light headedness is usually my first indicator. Interesting taste test on those maters! Lot of truth to what Mama used to say, “you eat first with your eyes!” Thanks for these great shows, sharing your knowledge, and fantastic products!

These tomato taste tests are fun. I am going to have to try those Hossinators. The old goat is sitting in with the zinnias behind Greg

The old goat is in basket of flowers. I planted the Hossinator for the first time and it taste great and I'm from Slocomb Alabama.

You guys are killing!! I’m laughing so hard my side hurts.

By the way, my mini me cucumbers are kicking in🥒 Overall, all my cucumbers are doing fantastic. I’ve already done a succession. Planting of some lemon cucumbers alphabet Arminian longs. They’re already sprouting up. I always focus on one thing a year and then the rest are just I do got some tomatoes. They’re gonna be extras. I got some cantaloupe melons watermelons , I’m waiting my beans my Poll beans there’s sprouting I started flowers today. It’s a lot of work, but you gotta pace yourself.(I’m up to 25 jars of pick)

Well I tried growing watermelon that was a disaster, we had no rain 8 weeks now garden is done for. Got to say I will be leaving this area in little over a year. We had a a developer come in and wants to by our property so I will be moving on to wherever and my garden days are done for now. Thanks for all the help over the years.
