AAA+++Bedford, Texas
Can you please suggest where I can purchase non-gmo heirloom seeds?
This is so awesome! Thanks for sharing ๐
Hello. Robbie. Nora here, your seedlings are doing really well.Your section where you sit and have your coffee is Lovely did you paint the chair? I started some mint also. i had some mint in a water bottle and they started getting roots, so there now planted in a high top tote, there really taking off. I use mint in my Tea and health drinks. AWE.Miss Kitty is so Adorable, I feel like hugging her. Love the ideas . We will be saving so much money on what we Grow. Thanks Robbie and Gary.
!! I hate the hardening off process so much, I refused to do it after the first year. Thank you, robbie, another problem solved!
Awesome idea!! ๐๐พ๐๐พ
I'm planning on making some cold frames out of pallets but this way looks so easy to do. Thank you for sharing this idea.
Robbie, YOUโRE AMAZING! I love it, just in time for seedlings ๐ฑ
You are so funny ! You are in southern Ca !
I live in Cleveland Ohio! You have it made there !
Oh when is your birthday just wondering ๐
Hi Robbie and Gary, do you guys have email address for collaboration?
Robbie, thanks for putting in the hard work and sharing it so we can be successful. ๐
Hello from Thรฉ South of France ! Thanks for sharing all thรฉ good ideas you have Robbie, it IS really with a great pleasure to watch them. I can't wait to have a Big garden to add more totes and to put young seedlings in… Stay blessed !
Hi! This is an interesting contraption. I wanted to know what kind of veggies can be grown in these containers. Can we grow gourds and cucumber etc as well
You always have an excellent tips for growing veggies and tips where to plant them, but I would like to have your area, cuz its hidden. Mine is a corner lot and my husband doesnt like to make the front of the House look like circus ๐๐ I was Able to build a raised bed with old wooden fence and that made even harder for me to convince him I would like to put in every lawn ๐๐ฌ but he wonโt say yes, so I only made one 3โx8โx12โ and I didnโt plant veggies he loves color so I planted flowers ๐ธ, thanks again for this excellent ideas I wish I could do whatever I want for the 3 green lawns I have. ๐๐ป๐๐โฅ๏ธ
Awesome happy place ๐๐๐
I'm ordering the GREEN ones from Walmart, already ordered my soldering gun.๐ค๐ฅ๐ฅ๐
Nice tips! Iโm determined not to hurt my back gardening this year and I have added in twelve totes so far into my landscape because of you! Thanks for making gardening safe again! ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ธ
Here in Alaska we are getting snow still here though it is spring time
Hi Robbie and Gary, enjoy your videos and always learning some great tips. My question is , do you put holes in the totes any place other than the front of them ? Thanks so much.
Iโve used Sharpies to garden label. It faded away here in south Alabama. Iโm enjoying your channel. Thank you.
Love your video.
But I have a question?
My son and I have been thinking of starting a tote garden on or patio and I like that idea of making a lid for the tote but say if we want to grow fully in our tote is it OK to leave the lid on? I figure on making a screen so that sun light can pass through.
We get a lot of raccoons and rabbits and posom through our yard,and I just want to keep them from eating up our food. Lol. Thanks.
Your videos are so informative and fun. Thank you.
Hi Robbie. I'm new here and can't find your video on the round top for the tubs. The ones with the tulle and then you can use plastic over it at nite. I am loving, loving your videos!!!!!!!
HI Robbie & Gary! Thank you,
I love your watermelon chair what I call it that's what it reminds me of ๐ค๐.
Thank you so much for the videos and have a blessed day ๐.
Hi there. I've just recently found ur videos and I love the concept. Because of ur video, I'm going to try a get some of my own tomatoes again this yr. Never had much luck with them in the ground so ur tote idea is sounding very positive for me.
I'm in Ontario Canada, pretty much across the lake in Michigan so I'm hoping there zone is the same as mine. And already behind planting the seedlings but u make it look so easy.
I can go out and buy what is needed but ur way looks like fun so I'm doing it that way. Thank you……. Marion…… Ontario Canada.๐
Fantastic idea Robbie! Super cool! happy gardening 2022.
Thank you totally AWESOME ๐ ๐
Great video Robby! Do you happen to have a video of the hummingbird feeder Holder at the end of this video? It holds the tiny cup of nectar and was wired to the red flower cutout. I need a better shot of it, and I think I can make one too. TY
Robbie – Head's up – Just saw on my weather guy channel that you'll be getting some nasty weather this week – 3-27-22. Careful with your plants.
thanks for these garden tips
Some great ideas.. I've been using the tubs a bit in my AZ valley of the sun. I'm using them as raised beds.. because the ground is mostly rock here by the foothill mountains. I also have used big tubs as wicking tubs.. to help with watering, and wonder if you water your plants inside the tub do you put a hole in bittom of tub to drain water? Or do you let the pots wicking up the extra water. I like the hole to be about 4-5 inches from bottom for wicking and then if we get our rain storms the tub doesn't flood. Love the way you covered with tool and or plastic…
Robbie, I am so thankful to have found your channel! I live in the South East. I have an ant problem, but I just found your video on ant tunnels. Thank you!!! Gonna give it a try. I'll let you know how it goes. ๐ โค๏ธ โค๏ธ โค๏ธ โค๏ธ โค๏ธ โค๏ธ โค๏ธ
The covers are so cleverrrrr!
Excellent video. I am starting seeds in covered containers, but much smaller, and they are clear. I use their own lids, which have a little pour spout, so they can get fresh air. When they get too big I take the lid off. But what cuts that heavy plastic best? It is so easy to severely cut your hand if you don't have the proper cutting tool. Many use knives, and I shudder when I watch videos using box cutters and sharp knives.
Nice๐๐๐
Your zucchinis that grow too big into marrows, let them harden up, they store like pumpkins 6mths or more.
I had one i cut off the plant, left it sitting on a table outside for several months.
I was going to cut up for compost, it had its umbilical cord still on, that stop it rotting. I took it inside to cut, found it sound and fleshy, peeled it, cooked it and it was yummy. I add this to onions and tomatoes and made tomato soup, best soup ever. Cheers from Australia.
I am a new subscriber and I have been binge watching you. I am so appreciative of you and all that you share. Thank you.
How did you cut the hole in the lid?
Robbie can I put two zucchini plants and one gray tote 18 gallon?
Robbie live in Illinois and close to Chicago. I cannot find 18 gallon totes anymore they are gone
