This year I want to divide my yard/gardens into daily work "zones" Each day I check the designated zone and take care of that area. It may need some weeding, mulching or fertilizing etc and the next day is a different zone. I made only 6 zones so if there is a day I cannot take care of the daily zone, I can make it up by having an empty zone day. I think it will take a while to get comfortable and automatic with this plan but it will reduce my work in the garden to small do-able chunks and by the end of the week I have taken care of all the gardens. Hope it works for me!
You are the only Amanda the Mad Gardener. I enjoy your content but I mostly enjoy you. I’m glad you realize it’s not a competition. Some of those other channels have gone off in different directions and I don’t watch them anymore.
Thank you for giving me the confidence to start my very first cut flower garden this year in central Texas! I love your channel so much

Thank you for always sharing hints and seed guidance. I saw this "hack", which I don't usually do, You need sandwich bags, and you place soil & seeds in each pouch. Then you hang them from a dowl, so the bags are hanging. Sort of like the milk carton planting. I will let you know. Happy and Healthy New Year to you and your wonderful Family.
Happy New Year Amanda. I will be watching every video that you post. I learn a lot!
2025 goals: reduce mulch runoff by planting in key locations, more native plants, address most visible bed on street that has some damage from deer and snow load.
💗
I'd definitely encourage you to start composting. A friend of mine uses two galvanized trash buckets with holes drilled in. She's also in a neighborhood, and it works well for her.
♥️🌹♥️ Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉
I am in zone 6 missouri but I love watching your videos.
My goals changed this year we had a house fire in August. So in an apt temp. I have a patio.
Will get back in the house by late spring. I do have acess to my garden. I am using winter sowing to start my seeds this year and direct sowing later in may.
Gardening on a budget makes so much sense.
Listening to your garden goals while I up pot my seedlings.😊
Great goals! Composting and irrigation will save so much time and waste. Good luck in 2025!
My goal next year is to move my hydrangeas
Start composting it's good to have soil when you need it. One this that i will share from my experience is that i used to turn it. It's a lot of work and hard on your body. If you don't have yime to commit to that choose a different system. I just pile my scraps take a shovel and bury the fresh stuff with the compost. I have seen people take 20 gallon garbage bins and drill holes in the bottom for airflow and to let the excess moisture out. Then they just roll the bin Every now and then. I'm thinking of switching to this route. Also, i have never had issues with my pile smelling.
This is why I love your channel. You are real to the born! It's okay to fel,l It's okay to change your mind! Love it!❤

Thanks Amanda for a really inspiring video 🥰I also need to garden on a budget as a single 69 year old female and I also like to try and do a lot of the construction myself !! So your content is really relevant to me. I only bought my bungalow 2 years ago so I’ve got lots of work to do. Like you I am trying to get rid of my grass and have more flower beds. Will be watching all your videos in 2025 wishing you and your family good health and happiness 🥰
My plan: 1. Stay on budget by selling/trading my extra dahlia tubers, asking for trades in my Facebook garden group before purchasing plants, and using the free compost and mulch from my town. 2. Improve the edging around my flower beds. 3. Figure out what on earth will look good under my Little Free Library. 4. Remember to fertilize regularly… not just when the plants look sad.
Hi Amanda..looking forward to a new garden season
Happy New Year. Thanks for the inspiratory goals! Moved to Texas zone 8 last year and your videos have been a great help!
Cheers for a great 2025 garden season!! I enjoy watching your videos! The last 2 years I really got into seed starting. I do cut flower style and some that I can use in container combos, it's fun to challenge myself by putting together containers that I grew from seed! And that also helps with cost!
Really excited to see your irrigation video as that is a big goal for me. I also need to be patient with my formerly shade garden to figure out what really needs to be moved. That requires fine tuning my transplanting skills!
Very inspiring. My 2025 goals are to plant more natives and bird and pollinator friendly plants. I want to create a stumpery in a shady moist area using ferns, mosses and other shade lovers around stumps from an enormous old oak tree that died. Continue to refine a shady rain garden and 2 full sun beds. More propagation and dividing of perennials. Since I have a very shady yard I will plant fullsun cut flowers in grow bags that can be moved.
🗣️ 3 BAY SYSTEM…
Happy new year! My goals are growing perennials from seed to add variety (lots of natives) to my garden for the pollinators and extending my beds with what I grow! I'm also installing a butterfly garden, maybe a rain garden depending on time and funds. Thank you for your videos, love you!
Great video! Love all of your plans for 2025!!!!! Great Gardening!
This last summer marked the second year of my garden. Instead of harvesting flowers, I spent all my time pulling weeds and mulching. I’m hoping all that work will mean less burdensome toil in 2025. I want to enjoy my flowers. That’s goal #1 for the coming year. I’m also planting more roses. Relying less on annuals might also reduce the workload. Fingers crossed.

One of the things I love about you is that you don’t fall into the sponsorships. Seems like most channels I follow once they get a sponsor they are just never the same. It ends up being more promotional. How do I trust that that is a great product when YouTubers are getting paid to say it. Stay true to yourself. I am a zone 6b/7a but you are one of my favorites.
For 2025, i want to expand my irrigation. I am spending too much time hand watering and moving sprinklers. I also want to include more evergreen bushes and trees. Winters are long and I need green. I am also starting seeds for cut flowers I hope to sell to add money to my gardening budget. Good luck in 2025!
Amanda, I have 3 Mantis green compost bins on wheels. I needed bins that were contained because of rodents. I checked the current price and they have doubled. Yikes!
Growing plants from seeds, propagation, and division is so awe inspiring and cost effective! For the first time, I'm trying winter sowing seeds in milk jugs.🤗 Thanks for helping me have the knowledge and confidence to try new things on my gardening journey!
❤
I just love your channel! Thanks for keeping it real!
❤❤❤
Happy New Year, Amanda. All the best in 2025.
I totally agree with you on learning comes from my failures. And speaking on freezing vegetables, we just ate the last of the purple hull peas I grew in the spring/summer, so delicious. On the composting, I was actually doing that today. I cleaned out my chrysanthemum bed and have leaves all over my grass. I use my push mower which has a grass catcher bag to roll over all that stuff and it cuts it up and then I dump it in a composting pile. The first bag of ground up stuff I did, I stood the bag up against my storage building, forgot about it. The bag got rained in several times before I remembered to dump it out and Wala! It started composting right in the bag.

I love your content. I recently became aware of your channel and am also in Texas zone 8b. I’m trying growing peppers, yarrow and larkspur from seed and so far it’s been fun!
May your 2025 be a good gardening year
Amanda I find simplifying this process is best. I compost all my leaves by putting them in a large pile after bagging with my mower. It provides the best mulch. I know your situation is different but garden debris of all sorts could be used. Happy composting 😊
My mom use to propagate roses…and I'd like to see them and rose of sharon
Are you digging up the grass or just putting cardboard and landscape fabris?
Would love to see what your petunias and geranium that you recently sowed
I just compost leaves, grass cuttings and garden clippings. I don’t use food products to avoid critter visits.
I just started a 3x3x3 plastic/resin compost bin this year. I am trying to do cold composting, means no turning or following the green and brown ratios. I just dump my clippings in it, not a lot food scrapes. I bury my raw food scrapes under 6" of soil where I am not actively producing anything. My new year goal is to put my Persimmon tree in the ground, make berry patches (2 dedicated beds) and of course budget gardening. I saved a lot of seeds this year 😊!
Thank you Amanda for bringing gardening down to the basics. It helps us to also realize that a garden is achievable with a little work up front, and working with what we have.
