Planning this years garden, save money on groceries and stock the prepper food supply. How to start garden seeds. This years goal is less work more food.
I was waiting for this upload,, I grew simpson elite lettuce last year,, it grows well but I prefer the taste of Black Seeded Simpson. I also found sunsugar cherry tomatoes as well as ground cherries for this year because of your praise of them. .. I also have hot banana pepper seeds planted to try this year, I hope you have a good growing season dude, don't forget about squeaks kittynip 🙂
WooHooooo. I have watched you for years. I love your channel. We have started transplanting into the garden down here Louisiana and have some seeds planted into the ground.
Garden layout looks great. I use that netting tied to T-posts in the 4 corners over a bed. About 30" high. I put my 10 gal potato grow bags under the net. The potato foliage grows up through the netting and it keeps them upright.
I hope you never stop doing these setup videos. I look forward to them every year and keep rewatching them through out the year. They’re super informative and I find them really relaxing too 🙂
Looking good, Miss Squeak!❤ Love the new garden plan and info on trellis netting at Walmart. I find they have the best price on fish fertilizer in our area as well. I'm excited to watch your beautiful garden grow and fruit this year.😃
Thank you for sharing with us. I always look forward to your seed starting and your garden video. I started my onions and celery but still have another week before I can start my peppers for my area.
Great video. I was just checking on JNS and this video popped up. different ideas. I might have to try it out with the peppers cause I’m having issues getting them to germinate. Take care
I was harvesting some baby beets yesterday and I thought about when you were going to start your seeds. Happy to see a new seed start video for 2026!!! 😃🌱🌱🌱
Thank you for the video, always a pleasure to watch your preparation for the new season. On you "seed date " board it says to fert at 2 weeks, then every week with Fish Em. Is it only for greens? Would be nice if you cover the whole fert. routine from the start, especially tomatoes and peppers. I know what you are using, but don't remember when you start and how often. Your results are amazing, I want to follow your routine this year. Thank you!
I loved you videos when is was a teen! Im glad I was able to find your channel after so many years and im glad your still making videos. keep up the great content!
Another great video. I used to buy seeds from Seeds n Such. I didn't have very good germination. I figured the seeds were old. I will keep up with your success. They have some seeds I'd like to get but have been hesitant to buy. I wish your videos were longer. Keep up the great gardening. BTW…have you ever thought of growing carrots?? So delicious when freshly grown.

Can’t wait for spring!
Where did you buy the trellis?
Can't wait for gardening!! I am sooo over all this COLD! THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS! Say "HI" to Squeak! ❤😊
Squeak has a beautiful shinny coat. Finally, March, BubbleBeet and garden planning have arrived.
Garden layout looks great. I use that netting tied to T-posts in the 4 corners over a bed. About 30" high. I put my 10 gal potato grow bags under the net. The potato foliage grows up through the netting and it keeps them upright.

Thank you for sharing with us. I always look forward to your seed starting and your garden video. I started my onions and celery but still have another week before I can start my peppers for my area.
The rattlesnake pole beans and the marconi peppers are heirloom- I save the seeds every year and never buy them .
Great video. I was just checking on JNS and this video popped up. different ideas. I might have to try it out with the peppers cause I’m having issues getting them to germinate. Take care
Possums getting fresh in your yard. LOL

Спасибо за русский перевод, много лет смотрю Ваш канал.
Удачи и хорошего урожая.
Do you use your 5-1-1 fish fertilizer throughout the entire season or only while the plants are developing in the early season?
Make miso soup or egg drop soup and add spring onions.
You should dehydrate your green onions. They are good on soups or as seasoning.
I loved you videos when is was a teen! Im glad I was able to find your channel after so many years and im glad your still making videos. keep up the great content!
