3 months in my raised bed KITCHEN GARDEN | Keter Easy Grow 31.7 Gallon Raised Garden Bed review

Watch my zone 7b raised bed KITCHEN GARDEN grow over 3 months. if you want to know all about the Keter Easy Grow 31.7 Gallon Raised Garden Bed watch this review.

We'll fill our Keter Easy Grow raised bed planters with Pro mix potting soil and add Espoma organic plant food. Shop for herbs and vegetables with me at Pike Nurseries and Home Depot then we'll plant and water our garden. Cherry tomatoes like super sweet 100 tomato grow well in pots but get very tall. Bush type tomatoes stay compact making them a great choice for growing in a container on a patio or balcony.

I'll have to tie the eggplants to the trellis because they're getting HUGE! Gardening in Georgia can get very hot and sometimes dry they need lots of water but the self watering system of the planter helps a lot with that.

Thank You ! What a time saver you were. After reading the instructions😮‍💨 I felt like I needed a cigarette ... and I am not even a smoker 😂 you were very clear and gave only necessary and very simple instructions. Now, I am ready to plant. THANK YOU 🙂

[osheajackson]

Hi, your garden looks great, thanks for sharing. I think the reason the plug doesn't work is because you were supposed to fill reservoir with water before you planted the vegetables.

[Gaianna]

Thank you for showing how much can be done with a Keter rasied bed! I was looking at doing tomatoes with it!

[DrPattiL]

I did my first garden this spring. Mine aren't producing as much. But I do have 1 pepper 1 eggplant and loads of cherry tomatoes. My herbs are doing great. I will definitely be revisiting this as I plant next year. Will you do a fall garden

[BBReviewsIt]

First off, you look so beautiful!!! I love your blue dress and earrings. As for your garden, wow, how lush!!! It’s so pretty. I can’t believe how much it grew. This is my type of gardening. How do you prevent animals from stealing your vegetables? Also, your Thai Basil is no joke. It grew out so much. I feel like it would be impossible to use all of it while it’s fresh. Do you freeze any of the herbs to preserve them?

[debbielicona]

I love the cottage feel, ur raised beds give me . this is how I want to plant too . and thanks for the info

[robertcornelius]

All of your hard work is paying off. Nice work

[dianeberan]

Thank you for the review. I am definitely going to purchase a couple of these raised planters, they are perfect for the Florida neighborhood where I live. We have lots of little bunnies snacking on plants in the area so the fact that the beds are raised will help with that. My 91 year old mother lives with us so I can see that having these will create a nice activity for her year round. I just wish I was a fan of raw tomatoes, yours look so lovely. At least the hubbie and my mom will enjoy them.

[vivianataylor]

I read that peppers make bad companion plants for tomatoes. Perhaps that's why yours never grew well?

Thank you so much for this video! It was really nice to see a real garden in the product review. I got the smaller version of this garden bed but now I am rethinking see your lovely garden.

[emgeespeaks]

I am glad to know they survived your winter. I am in SE Wisconsin, zone 5.

[AntonGully]

I bet you could replace that plug with a little spigot tap for a barrel. Great video! I have that exact moisture meter.

[graylagran]

i'm thinking you may have had trouble finding the cilantro because it is a cool weather crop - i'm in NC7b.

[HawaiiWealthPartners]

Thank you so much for this video! It was great and I learned so much. I got my planter a while ago but hadn't gotten anything planted. I wasn't sure what to grow in them so I loved seeing the transition from empty bed to the finished garden? You definitely have a green thumb!

[kimberleyobier]

Just bought one of these and I love how you planted yours... beautiful!

[explorewithmeharin]

Thank you for the video. I have got one of these raised beds and your video is the guideline for me to get planted.

[ibiubu]

I too, learned a lot from your video. I just bought one of those k e t e r self-watering planters. So thank you again

[Jamonkey]

I need those amazing earrings you have on! I love monsteras.

Beautiful garden. I started my first garden Last spring. Did a winter garden too. Lots of shade so my winter plants gave lots more fruit than spring/summer Garden… 😊
