   We have the same "full sun" rule here in Florida 😅

   I just got a GreenStalk Planter last month. I have planted herbs, flowers, peppers and Green Beans in it. I already have the seeds sprouting and the transplants are growing. Enjoy and I hope you have great success with yours.

4. Madam Villalobos 8 months ago

   You are SUCH a good teacher. Im sold, I must get one and try it out in the Spring here in PNW!

5. Becoming a GreenStalker 8 months ago

   GreenStalks are my fav way to plant!❤

6. kleineroteHex 8 months ago

   I have one but with my given space I wish they'd make half circles. The round tower is in the way, the drain hose is too short to keep turning it, wind pushed it over once, but I did not have all wheels locked. Oh and short me can't handle 5 tiers 😁

7. Victoria Wyatt 8 months ago

   I have 6 planters on my patio, Mary – these are a GAME CHANGER! I have grown lbs of carrots, strawberries, tomatoes, Aunt Molly’s Ground Cherries, petunias, marigolds and herb! Fun, simple & builds gardener confidence!!!❤🤟🏼

8. Padmé Padmé 8 months ago

   Excellent and very interesting demonstrations. Thank you.

9. HappyGoLucky70 8 months ago

   Mary, you have the best ideas! I have extra peppers from my raised bed garden. I was wondering what to do with them. Thanks for the tips.

10. Dawnie Rotten 8 months ago

    Love your patio furniture, Mary; and that's an awesome cross, too!!
    No matter how long that I live, I will never understand 'why' people wear gloves in the garden, when working the soil. #1 reason to garden…..growing ones own non toxic foods. ALSO #1 reason to garden……getting ones HANDS INTO THE SOIL! lol It's such a great feeling to feel the 'earth' in ones hands/between ones fingers.

    I look forward to seeing how your Greenstalk turns out!

    Hi Mary, I have 4 Greenstalks and I love them. I did need some accessories, so I bought them using your code. I also bought some items from your Amazon store. I love the wand, especially that the spray can be controlled so much better than the one I currently have. I do have a question or two. Where did you put your planters? I live NW of Austin, so I’m experiencing the same heat as you are. I have mine on my back porch but I don’t think they are getting enough sunlight. I did purchase the bug covers because you did make a good point that they can also serve as a shade cover. I didn’t see a link to where you bought your seeds from. Can you share that link also? Looking forward to following your vertical gardening journey! Love from your “Texas by way of NY” friend Kat 😁

    you can buy small platforms on castors/wheels ….for moving large garden potted plants around. just put pot on top, set the brake on until moving day

    Nice! I love your positive energy!! Likewise, just if you didn’t know, We Always need to have God in our hearts, God is everything, the truth in life which is in the Orthodox christianity religion only. The orthodox version of Christianity is the original and only true form of christianity that Jesus taught us when he came to earth, and you can feel God’s grace through the holy sacraments in this church after baptism , repentance-confession and holy communion in the orthodox christian church through the grace of the apostles that was transferred from generation to generation to what we have today as the orthodox christian priests, something that completely changes your life and turns you into a happier person with a meaningful life and also saves you by strengthening your bond with God. You can also watch the miracle of the holy fire that does not burn that happens every year, I suggest you get baptised at an orthodox christian church near you, receive the holy spirit and live a spiritual life through the church’s sacraments like confession to the priest and holy communion and God will protect you, in this life and the next one, the eternal one. may God Bless you!

    Hello Sweet and precious Mary,
    Have you heard of Aeroponic Tower Gardens? It’s a hydroponic system. It can be indoor or outdoor gardening.
    Living in Florida, similar weather to Texas, I’m opting to grow indoors with the grow lights, due to the bugs and extreme weather here.

16. Morning Watch 8 months ago

    So excited to see this video! Southeast Texan here. Looks like this might help me to finally have a garden. Thank you, Mary!

17. Kathy Brosch 8 months ago

    You're such a great teacher! This vertical garden looks manageable to me. My hubby got me a wooden, raised planter box one year. I planted cucumbers and failed them. I don't know what went wrong, but they turned yellow and they were not a yellow variety. I wasn't able to harvest anything. I haven't used it since then, but I have also been dealing with other things and have not had the time to try again. I'll have to dump out all the soil first in case it was contaminated, and start over. Maybe next year. I also have bag pots that I haven't used yet. I'll have to figure it all out. I've never had a green thumb, as they say. But I did want to grow something. I'll keep watching for your suggestions. Thank you! ❤️

    I watched whippoorwill holler and mixed my soil that way. Recommend fox farm potting soil, vermiculite peat moss worm castings and organic fertilizer. Also Garry Pilarchik his recent video. I started with one green stalk beginning summer and love it. Recent;y bought 3 more with one being the leaf size for my back deck. All on sale and used subscribers discount code. Definitely doing one of the planters all strawberries.

19. Chris Terwilliger 8 months ago

    Oh Mary! That looks wonderful! I think I want to do one as well! Thank you so much for this! God bless.

20. Little Country Cabin 8 months ago

    Oh I love this so much! I never gave the Greenstalk much thought but now I think I really need one or even two🤗. Thank you for the great video sweet friend❤

21. Sharon Vik 8 months ago

    Thanks, Mary!!!! I live a bit north of you and you inspired me to grow more vertically! 🙂

22. eugie 8 months ago

    Most expensive potting soil I've used but the best as well.

23. Debbie James 8 months ago

    One thing they make that was a game changer for me was a watering system. I set up a timer and it is consistent watering. I've never had such a lush tower.

24. Brenda Z 8 months ago

    Excellent instruction video ! I look forward to updates on how things grow.

25. Essayons Family Garden 8 months ago

    That looks like a great option for vertical gardening, Mary. I wish I had that during my apartment living years. Have a blessed week.

26. Samantha Hoos 8 months ago

    I’m glad you started using Greenstalks! I grow most of my herbs in them – heck, picked fresh basil and parsley today right outside my kitchen door on my elevated porch for a few menus today. If you buy an extra water reservoir you can make shorter towers too so you can see inside the top AND you can use 5 gallon paint strainer bags on top of the reservoir to stop things from getting into the water system.

27. Shelia Heverin 8 months ago

    I bought 2. One was filled with some strawberries and herbs…the other with lettuce, carrots, radishes and the like. Getting ready to replant with some spinach and lettuces.

28. Shelia Heverin 8 months ago

    I stick a little plant tag in the first one I sow seeds just to make sure I don't plant the same pocket twice.

29. Let Your Light SoShine 8 months ago

    On order! I will rewatch your video, I'm sure! Thanks, Sweet friend!

    Hi Mary, made no knead white sandwich bread today! It is absolutely delicious!!!

31. Cherry blossom princess 8 months ago

    Mary thankyou for mentioning about the Green Stalk Planter System but l wish you tell us the address where to order that good Planter you mention❤

32. Bre Arndt 8 months ago

    This is great I will check it out I would like to know more when you’ve worked with it more when and how to water thanks 😊

33. Rough-Hewn Homestead 8 months ago

    Love this video about vertical planting!
    Also, I remember once you mentioned that we could post questions about "off-topic" things on current videos, so that you might see them. I have such a question. You used to have a link to a seafood company you used for mail-order seafood. I realize that you may not currently have a coupon code for them, and that's ok, but could you tell me the name of that company–or another that you like? We'd love to stock our freezer with some quality salmon, halibut, tuna, etc. and we can't do that from a local source as we live in WV.
    Thanks! Great info on the GreenStalk!

34. Rachael Cox 8 months ago

    Greenstalk now sells a watering system which is great. I have 7 of them and had created automatic irrigation with drip lines myself but the clips they sell that clip onto the planter are really helpful.

35. ivette santana 8 months ago

    You should see Rainbow Gardens. She has like 10 of these on her deck lol.

    Hi Mary, you've touched on a topic that is close to my heart for a number of reasons! I LOVE Greenstalks, and have 2 of them now. I also reached out to the woman whose family started Greenstalks business, due to them living in my birthplace of Knoxville, TN, at the beginning of my Greenstalks journey, and we chatted.
    I now live in Vermont, and during the disastrous flood we had here in July of this year, I had ALL my Greenstalks wash away, down our river. I took a picture of the silty bases of my greenstalks, and shared that on Facebook. Lo and behold, this wonderful woman and her business reached out and sent me two full new Greenstalk kits, without charge! I was moved to tears, literally. I love my Greenstalks so much, and even more because of their beautiful history. And, I also am a huge fan of Jess at R&R. Thank you for this video, it is very helpful.

    Mary we’ve had one for a few years but never used it. Thanks for invigorating my enthusiasm about to. I love your cook book too. Congratulations!

    Wonderful video. You really went into detail. I would feel confident setting this up because of your guidance. This company should feature this video on their website and pay you $$$😅
