Great tips :O) I think it is always a good idea to realize that there are failures, but never stop planting, because next time can be perfect 🙂
Great tips. Thanks 😊
Inspiration! As usual
Beautiful, Thank You! Especially important to wear the proper coverings as we also have the insects that love to eat the humans too. LOL!
I am not a new gardener, but still forgot sunblock and hat yesterday.🤣
Saving seeds has been my goal this season 💚
I'm so proud of you. You're getting more companies to work with on our behalf.
My five tips for beginners: grow crops you enjoy eating; when planning your garden, be aware of how much sun the area you're planting in gets and the light requirements for your crops; know how much space the plants will take up; if you're growing root crops, make sure to amend the bed for the needs of root crops (I forgot to do that one year and had horrible results!); starting out doesn't have to be expensive or time consuming –seriously, you can start with two or three bulbs of grocery store garlic, a couple potatoes that have started to sprout, and seeds saved out of a winter squash (which may or may not sprout true to the parents). Final tip: nature abhors perfection–that's why we have four leaf clovers. Meaning that you're going to make mistakes and some of them will be happy mistakes!
I love your videos!
Love the protectors.
Thank you. I hope to order the sleeves soon. I remember being in my dads garden when I was little. My mom told my Dad, you can let Robyn in the Garden anymore, something is biting her. Lol it was the tomato plants lol
Thank you for the wonderful tips!!!!😊
Awesome video!!! This was super helpful 😃
Thanks for the great garden tips!
What would you recommend if I don't have any natural sunlight space for when I'm starting my seeds inside? Would it be ok to leave them under grow lights or do you absolutely have to do this? The only window I have that gets sun is my kitchen window but that would get in the way and it gets way too hot in my kitchen during the day.
As for the rest of the tips I wish I had actually done research when I started my garden oh well I learned 😂
What about container gardening, do you need the worms. I provide worm casting to my containers. I garden on my balcony so no ground to find worms. Can you purchase worms? If so what kind?
Omg girl!! I love this video, all the great advice and how everything is growing vertically! Happy gardening!!
For a minute there I thought you got tattoos!! LOL!!
Awesome video! We use the sleeves to they are so awesome!
Your garden looks great, love ❤️ the sleeves. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Not a new gardener BUT I have to start all over not just location but a whole new zone… and a shorter zone at that.
I was gifted by my hubby probably 150 😳 seed packets for our anniversary on 8-5. He told me I could share because I talk about your seed share. I have not participated yet. Is that possible to do and how do I go about it? I also have hollyhock seeds.
Hi I live in 90 also but I have a hard time with pollinators is there anything that you can suggest I have plenty of flowers no fruit thank you
Arizona love! You are an amazing wonderful awesome gardener- thank you for sharing your life and talent.
One question, do you ever grow potatoes? Tucson here I use 7-10 gallon grow pots and plant taters 2 times a year- it helps provide about 50% of what we eat!
Quick health tip, potatoes contain more potassium than bananas and if cut up with skin on and rinsed to remove much of the starches save this rinsing water if you want to use for other needful things they are quite healthy. 😀 I admit, I use an air fryer to make fries – no or really limited oil use allows for all the fun much less of the bad 😅
