Thank you so much! I subscribed to your email and am considering the Garden In Minutes. Your site is a wealth of information and your garden is a wealth of inspiration! Off to find worm castings.
Just put beet seeds in the ground and amazed by what they look like and what they will become thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping me be a better farmer
Flipping through new seed catalogs, fantasizing about all the beautiful things I might plant this year. The spring is so full of hope.
Gardener beautiful thank you so much for all your gardening tips for February
What area in the state are from
My grandson and I harvested my first beets yesterday, we ate the roots and the leaves for lunch. So delicious! I love seeing this little boy discover the joy of growing his own food, he picked carrots and peas to take home for his family dinner last night. This year Ive planted calendula, pansy, and several other flowering plants through out the garden which was inspired by your practice. Im looking forward to a pretty garden this year.
Thank you, Angela! And great news about the yellow citrus leaves. I was feeling a little depressed that I may have failed it somehow but you said it’s normal at this time so YAY!!!🎉 Is your last frost really in mid February?! Wow! Your winters are super short!
So excited for spring! Thanks for the tips 🌱
Wonderful gardening inspiration!
You are so knowledgeable! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for all the information. I need to get out there and prune my nectarine tree. Thanks for explaining what a water sprout is on the fruit tree.
Most excited about growing small fruit trees and keeping them small since I don't have much room left. Just planted a grapevine too. Thinking about a fig tree to add. So much to plant, so little time!
I'm curious about sub irrigating planters. I'm in the Phoenix metro area too and it seems like they
might make sense. Do you have any opinions about SIP's?
We had a warm spell here in Las Vegas and by Bok Choy started to bolt. I had to pull them all out. 😔
Thanks for the great tips for this month. I managed to keep my tomatoes going from my fall garden and am so excited to have large brandywine tomatoes coming ripe this month. I've always struggled with growing bigger tomatoes (splitting, pests, etc cut their lives short). The tomato starts that I picked up from AZ Worm Farm in October have been so successful this winter.
What state are you in?
Great garden tips, Thank you so much!
Aside from common sense and not burying them, is there any particular advise for amending beds that have established companion plants still going? I'm going to be putting all my tomatoes in but have nasturtiums, cilantro, parsley, dill ETC that's still going and even getting started I'd like to keep.
I’ve learned so much from you! Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us! ☺️💖
New subscriber here. Im in the UK but sound advise for new growers. I love you tick sheet really useful thanks
😂😂😂l love gardening but last year l see 🙈 a big snake I WAS TRAUMATIZE l don't know if l will be able to make 😅😢my garden THE SNAKE IT WAS BIG 😭 EAT ALL THE FROG'S FROM MY PATIO
👍👊✌️
Has your last frost date changed since the zones were updated? I checked mine in Texas zone 9b (now 10a) and I remember last year it was March 1st and now it’s January 27th.
We were just sitting here with your planting calendars and I saw the pop up banner for your video!
We are hopeful for a bountiful harvest this year of our favorite fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
I love the bloopers at the end. 👍😂🤣
Hi Angela, my collards looks like infested with aphids and I have it for years now should I just cut it down and restart again? Thanks for any advice, I love love love your system and layout of your garden. ❤️😊👩🌾 watched your videos all the time and learn a lot.
Great, thanks. what citrus fertilizer do you recommend?
Do you have a video on those black irrigation pipes?
If you pull your broccoli you can use the leaves like kale or collards
What is the easiest way to find the individual grow sheets for plants? I am a member of Growing in the Garden Academy. I am starting lots of different types of plants and can use that info. I have spicy globe basil that I started from seed and I don't know if I am supposed to trim them now that they are a few inches tall?
Love your videos so much!! They’ve helped me more than any other gardening resource that I’ve found. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.🌻
Always a wealth of helpful information Angela!!
Great video on what to do this month in Mesa, AZ! Thank you!😊
In your video about citrus trees, you mentioned Water Spouts (at least that's what it sounded like you said) It was a branch that went straight up with thorns. I have not heard of this before. How can I learn more about it?
You know, now that I think of it, I could do the milk jugs in late winter/early spring there just like I do them here rather than doing indoor starts. Have you ever experimented with that?
What variety of broccoli do you grow?
All wonderful tips. I can't wait to start my mini garden this year. My dad made me some box planters. 🙂
Thanks for showing us how to prune these plants. My tomato survives Fall so far, and it looks very healthy,; it is now 3ft or higher, and I see new growth all along the main stem. So, do I need to cut them to as low as possible or leave them be tall as is and just cut off dead leaves?
I tried starting my seeds indoors this year and ended up with miniature broccoli 😂.
