I'm going to try micro clover between plants for mulch this year.. it stays short.. we will see how that works out. 🤞
I absolutely love the Bootstrap Farmer trays!
I sow cosmos and this year I will be planting alyssum and chamomile with the cosmos as cut flowers. Any tips for any plants thanks again
Great video! Thank you!
and Daisy would love clover in her pasture
Your book has served me well. I grow basil everywhere. 😂
What zone are you?
I'm in 5 and not as easy.
Great info! Thx
Hello, thank you for all the information. I do have a question, and i apologize if you have mentioned this before. On another channel who does a whole host of things, the person had planted seedlings, and discovered mold and algae and used cinnamon to combat this problem. Can you or would you explain this to me? Thank you so much and have a lovely day!
LOL….was I your inspiration to do this take? Seeing that I just mention that I bought your book a few videos back, not even knowing it was you who wrote it. Can't wait to get this book, still waiting. Should be here soon.
I have your book and highly recommended it to new gardeners.
My crimson clover is blooming now!
I got seeds from the side of the road and have sprinkled them over where I want them every year. I mow around them. They aren't weeds to me!!
One day I will have a yard full of them 😂
Hi Brian. What a coincidence. I have planted parsley, lemon mint, cosmos and dill. Hopefully Tuesday i can plant some other companion plants. I used all the info that I watched this year on your channel to grow tomatoes and peppers. I have a temperature controlled cold frame. So my happy tomatoes and peppers went out in it today😊 One step closer to "playing in the dirt in the garden". Can't wait for your next show.😊
That plant in the background looks so sad. Not my favorite plant either 😵💫
Love❤
Can these be planted in the same soil as the veggies they are protecting
Hi Brian, always watching your videos. What did you top the cells with? Could not understand, sorry.
for the 3rd year i have been using their many colored 6-pack trays "6 Cell Plug Tray Inserts Colors" that are absolutely perfect. being smaller, they are easy to handle. different colors allow for color coding. they are a perfect fit for my 1020 trays. and have the same air prune and finger hole as the big trays. just a lot easier to manage when comes time to pop the plants out and plant. the material is food safe and very durable. they are all like new on this 3rd spring of use. they are not cheap, but they are a one-time investment 🙂
The only luck I've had with any of those plants were camomile 😢 I can't grow the rest to save my life.
Girl, I just turned 54 and have had a lot of gray/white hair for years and stopped coloring it a few years ago.
That white was sooo thick around the front that it was not even like a strip, it was awkward looking.
I have changed both my water and my diet, carnivore leaning now and cutting out the ultra processed foods mostly. I buy the baby distilled water from Walmart for myself and pets.
Ummm, I noticed a couple weeks ago that my hair is growing back in dark, not white now!!! It's been doing it so long that I have all this dark that came in over top of some white that has not yet fallen out. It's so odd looking when I put it in a ponytail or bun and it's getting warm now so I chopped it in a Bob for the spring and summer.
Looking it now, even in pictures I can see a huge difference. I don't mind the white hair, but our hair is a reflection of inner health and obviously that inner health is better now than before.
People and pets get nutrients from food though, so use the filtered water, at least if you have fluoride in your water. That is not removed by most filter or boiling and is flat out poison.
I am so glad you mentioned your book! I was going to ask you to do that since you have so many new subs!!
Do you sow the Crimson Clover over and over? 😉😁🤣😂🤣
I DID just get your book and I agree it is a game changer for me this year. Haven't really tried much companion planting but I am really looking forward to the mix. YAY! ..and thanks!
My yard is basically weeds with a bit of grass. Over time, I plan to keep adding garden areas.
I have some red clover seeds from a few years back. I may try seeding an area or 2 and see what happens. I think they are pretty.
Basil WILL NOT deter all flying pests. My basil got infested with gnat-like buggers last year that destroyed the leaves. No amount of safe, organic pesticide affected the nasties. Worst of all, the plants were indoors in my over-wintering "tent" when I noticed the infestation. The plants must have had eggs hidden on them somewhere. You can bet I will be more diligent in keeping an eye on things this coming year.
Brian, I'm letting my mustard greens and broccoli go to seed to save them. They have the seed pods on them, but they are still green. Can I pull up the bush and hang them to dry, or do they have to stay in the ground until they are completely dry?
I would love to see you do a colab with Ashley from Gardening in Canada to kinda show the differences and similarities of the two extremes of climates. She might also be able to give you insight on the soil issue you had in the past which would help us in the future in case it happened to one of us. You both are very knowledgeable people and when combined could be very entertaining.
Thank you 😊
