Winter is so hard for me because I don’t get to get my hands dirty. I study and take notes all winter to get ready for spring and then I get burned out, lol. But this year, with your help I’ll get to get my hands in the dirt a little bit.
I love MiGardener seeds. Waiting on mine to show up. Should be here any day now.
I love how you get right down to business without all the fluff talk. You’re calm and the music you use is lovely. So happy I found your channel. Thank you.

Would you please talk about the flavors? For instance the spicy Basil; what kind of spicy, hot or garlicky spicy? Tomato’s ? Did you find one that had the deep rich acid flavor? You may have done this but this is my second time on your channel. It would help those with limited planting space to decide which to grow. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to watch your other videos. Not meaning to sound picky.

Do you dry your leaves for herbs and such? Curious how to save stuff to use yr round.
The Chinese 5 color pepper from baker creek was so pretty, but super spicy. The peppers looked like old school Christmas lights. Very pretty plant.
