Having my Dad move in with me has had so many benefits – including setting up my garden this year which I hadn’t planned on doing! He was fascinated by my Greenstalk and decided to buy one for himself, then challenged me to get mine going — which means I also set up my stock tank garden, too!
He cheated because he helped me build mine because he just couldn’t help myself. So it wasn’t all me 😀

It was great to get to work with my Dad on this! If you are interested in his take on setting up for those with some physical disabilities – you can see his video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCeAP3-YFz8

great great great memories i love it i miss my mom
So happy to see you and your dad working together. I miss mine so very much. I can't wait to see him in heaven…where he is most certainly gardening. LOL
How wonderful for you to have your Dad with you; mine passed away 15 years ago. I miss him so much. I didn’t realize you’re a Texas gal too; nice. Thanks for sharing.
Ah! I never thought of getting one of those big square stepping stones. Like you I don't have a patio to put in on. You and your Dad inspired me.
Love this! ❤
Use leveling sand for the stone and level it before putting the GS on. Mine are in my yard too, thats what we did.
I recommend getting the soil wet before seeding, don’t want them moving with the shower spray.
Glad your finally back to gardening and with your dad.
I loved your video.
Aww too cute!
Nice!
It was great watching you and your dad work together. So precious. Great tips for the gs too.❤
That was great! After watching your dad's video, I now see where you get your great educational video skills from! Along with your heart for sharing useful information.
Thanks for this video my green stalk is still in the box.
love this.. I saw some of these planters in the dollar tree they were smaller but I could have used them for spices , and now I wish I had bought them.
I really was interested in this video with your dad I did not know he had a channel and was glad that you put it down in the comments. I will be gardening for the first time this year with a wheelchair should be an interesting go
Aww, thank you for sharing your Daddy/Daughter time with us.
Incredibly sweet.❤
What a blessing to have your daddy in the family home❤I sure miss mine, passed in 1994.
Aw…it’s wonderful for your Dad to be with you and you allowing him to help! He needs that, and you’ll find you do too. I know you know that..♥️
The drip may evaporate before it gets to bottom. Smart to water twice a day…last summer was so hot I had to too and check them in between!
Our Dad was one of those men who loved to help anyone any time he could. His favorite thing was to mow and take care of the yard. Your Dad looks like someone who loves to pull pranks on other people. Thank you for letting him help you. Have a blessed day.
I have been looking at these and really want one for herbs. Thanks for the tips. I'm scared of the wind blowing it over.
How about a skeeter tablet?
Thank you to your dad and you! What a great project to do with your dad! Thank you for sharing with us! I find this idea of tower very interesting, doesn’t take much space, self-watering… or almost. It would ve great here as I don’t have much space that is full sun several hours per day… and you can turn it… give a break to sone of the plants while the others are sunbathing! 🥰 Thanks to both of you! Enjoy it! 🥰
My dad has a garden he does with one of my uncles. I take my extra plants over to it, but I also help him harvest. I do his canning for him. I like picking beans or corn or whatever its is with him.
Your dad is ADORABLE!!! And I learned so much from this (as I do with all of your videos!) I love you to pieces, Darcy and please let your Dad know he has a fan club!
i know i miss my dad butt its nice to see you with yours
I have several Greenstalks that I've had for a few years and absolutely LOVE them and have purchased a few as gifts. They are durable, simple, and effective for small spaces and for those of us who find growing in the ground difficult due to uncooperative joints.
Darcy, cherish every moment with your dad!! Let him win, cheat or not!!
Hahaha
Your dad is so cute. ❤😂 Also I had never seen these before. So excited to start my seeds this weekend. Making a lil.greenhousentoo!
