Wanted to let you know I got a good deal at Walmart for granular fertilizer only cost me $2.50 per bag, on clearance I bought a couple of bags and used one on the strawberry plants to break down over the winter and it be available for them when they come up come spring and I will use the other bags for a second feeding as well as for next year usage. I took advantage and got as many as I could. The brand I got was expert Garden a 12-10-5 says it's for tomatoes and vegetables. I hope it will be good for the berries. I also got a miracle grow liquid fertilizer for use next year as well.
Thanks for another great video Gary. I always enjoy your content.
A very inspiring video for me š Thanks!
How do you prevent squirrels from eating your blueberries without any screen covers?
I have to put fence around all my peach trees due to the deer. My trees were loaded I was so excited waiting for them to get ripe in the next 2 weeks, went out one day they were all gone
Which has me puzzled no seeds were on the ground.
Have anyone hint to what happened ?
Thank you for reminding us to enjoy and appreciate small accomplishments. Itās easy to get overwhelmed especially looking at videos of the appearance of well maintained gardens. Sometimes I donāt even click on certain videos because it may put me in a bad headspace. Loved this!!!
So glad to see your garden (and life) isnāt about perfection but happiness. āDo things in stagesā will be my new garden mantraāŗļø! Thank you!
Thank you. Just ordered your book Growing an Edible Landscape. Arrives tomorrow,
Look nice. Iām looking forward to seeing it in the spring when it all starts growing. Thank you
