@THERUSTEDGARDEN
Great info! Thanks Gary!😊
Great video, your other channel has been a major Inspiration for years and I wish I had more videos like this when I was just starting out.
Been, revisiting your indoor seed starting videos. Lots to do with these 6 more weeks of winter.
Yayyyy for both channels 😊😊😊
Here to help. Youve helped me alot with my gardens.
Thank you, Gary! I've been following your other channel for a couple of years, but I'm looking forward to watching this one as well, as I'm always looking for new ways to do things.
Your advice is always just what I need. Thank you for making gardening accessible for all.
