So great to see you first thing in the morning!
and have the help and support. Gardening is so challenging for me,
I find it challenging not to get discouraged, rodents, squirrels, gophers who broke through my gopher wire…
I’m growing, zinnias and other flowers, tomatoes,peppers winter squash , cucumbers and melons 💚
👍
If you wear gloves when you touch dirt, it will help avoid strep. 😘
It’s a book I recommend !❤
As a new raised bed gardener, these are great tips!❤ thank you
I bet it feels great to be planting out your tomatoes after the long winter! I think we are about 2 weeks away from planting out in London. I can't wait plus the house is looking like a jungle! lol
I thought you couldn't put cukes and tomatoes together
Hi Kim, I planted peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, and squash. I also planted the seeds in the subscription box with my son. He loves planting and taking care of the garden with me.
Downy mildew is a HUGE issue in Maryland with the humidity. I ALWAYS get it and it kills the plants. So that’s why I always plant multiple rounds.
Good afternoon Kim. It's great to see you with another superb video. As always, the garden's looking absolutely lovely. I can only imagine how great those onions and that spoon mustard will taste once they're fully grown and ready for harvesting – and how beautiful all those flowers will be. I totally agree that when it comes to growing food and flowers in a raised bed kitchen garden, placement matters. As always, thanks so much for sharing all of your wonderful gardening tips and expert content , throughout all four seasons. 🌹🌹🌼🌼🌻🌻😊😊
