Thanks for these great ideas! I'm mostly stacking a bunch of grow bags an 10gal pots around our front entry to grow some of our own veg.
Thank you for these tips. The GreenStalk looks great!
Thank you… these is the best video to celebrate my birthday'
Love the idea of planting up
I am recommending Dr. Odion's herbal remedies here for the benefit of those who are suffering from STDs and other diseases because I was cured of genital herpes with the help of the herbal medicine I ordered from Dr. Odion on YouTube .🌿💯🙌🏻
where did you get your galvanized beds?
New sub here🤦♀️You rock! Thank you for sharing🙏❤️
Thank you! I'm new to gardening, this info is helpful!
Thank you for sharing all your ideas. I’m always looking for new trellis ideas.
I live on the third floor of a condo with nothing but a balcony to work with, but I’m gonna give it a shot!
Going to use these tips! Thanks!
That’s amazing!!! Thanks so much.
Wow! Excellent ❣️
Peace and blessings! Great info. I don't see your links. I am interested in your seed club.
Love this video 🦋
Just incase you want to try, I take the root ends off of celery and onions and root them in clean water with a little cinnamon to keep knots put and when rooted I plant them in clean of plastic tape cardboards boxes from Amazon, Walmart and wherever by putting a plastic bag around the outside to keep from falling apart and when I need to plant in ground I make a hole slide the box out of the bag and into the hole then the cardboard breaks down in time to compost …. If you don’t have ground to plant them in they grow well in the boxes …recycling shredded paper makes a good ground cover for these bags also. Plastic pop bottles with the cap off and pin holes around the bottom make great waterers especially if you need to be away from your garden a few days. Just place them around the top of the planter and the water will soak in if you don’t want to have them buried in the soil at all.
Thanks for the tips!……Growing a little here on my property in S.Florida……Started the back to Eden garden method a couple years ago & it seems to be working for me.
Thank you for telling me it’s ok to use the front yard! I was thinking last summer in the seed club you sent us okra seeds. It was such a pretty plant I was thinking of planting some out by my mailbox!
I knew a Pastor that hosted a Pastor from Haiti for a week. At the end he asked his opinion about what he saw. He said he was surprised by the amount of time and money we spend on yards that produce no food.
Everything I plant should be edible 😁
I've grown cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers in containers for yrs., The positives are less, insects , less physical work and less weeding.
This was just in time for me thanks so much 💚
Great tips!!
Thanks for the ideas
Love this! I'm ordering 2 of them. Thank you for your help! 💓
I need advice to safely keep my friendly stray cats and other small animals from my containers and raised beds, please. I don’t want them to destroy my garden or get injured. Thanks!
Great ideas for us San Francisco Bay gardeners
As you know, I've followed you for a long time. This is such a great vid of advice for all of us. Thanks for all you do to help the community of growers in central Florida and beyond.
Finding you has been a game changer! I am from the North gardening is much different. I am sure I missed the give away! But wanted you to know I appreciate all you do especially having little ones. I am raising 3 grandchildren (boys) from 9-14! They eat a lot being on a fixed income & the idea of a food shortage we are trying to grow what we can! That is in between baseball & football camp will start soon.
I am rabbling love your videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
