  2. 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 🙂

  3. 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.

  4. Squeak has a beautiful shinny coat. Finally, March, BubbleBeet and garden planning have arrived.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 🙂

  7. 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.😃

  8. been wondering if bubblebeet will post soon & here it is when i wake up. 🌻i always look forward to your spring garden.

  9. 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.

  10. The rattlesnake pole beans and the marconi peppers are heirloom- I save the seeds every year and never buy them .

  11. 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

  12. 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!!! 😃🌱🌱🌱

  13. 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!

  14. Спасибо за русский перевод, много лет смотрю Ваш канал.
    Удачи и хорошего урожая.

  15. Do you use your 5-1-1 fish fertilizer throughout the entire season or only while the plants are developing in the early season?

  16. 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!

  17. 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.
