I love your channel❤️ I gardened while sipping wine.... forgot to label EVERYTHING 🤦🏾‍♀️ so now I have a whole garden of guess what I am😂 I recognize most of the leaves but the rest 🧐

I love your channel. You are kind and gentle. I am older. I could not afford to build or buy raised bed, materials and soil.. My soil is pure clay so my few attempts to grow anything just failed. So I gave up until one day the best thing that could happen to me was that my refrigerator died. As it sat in the front yard waiting for the city to pick it up, I realized that it would make a great planter.. I now have 14 refrigerators. I filled them up with branches in the bottom, then free wood chips from the city, then 4 inches of soil from decomposing leaves, and top it off with leaves for mulch. I covered the side of the fridge with wood from pallets and picket fence. You can’t tell it a fridge and the insulation keep the soil cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. I grow in the winter by covering the top with 2 windows . At night I plug in a slow cooker which keep it warm and moist . I fill the insert with water.. I hope this inspires others with limited means to not give up on your dreams of gardening. Ask for non working fridges, it works. I grow Malabar spinach, kale, sweet potatoes, , tomatoes, (the way you taught with 2 cages) herbs, . One crop in each fridge. Blessings to you and all your followers

I also use mop pails from the dollar tree and dollar tree clothes pins for tags.

Hello! As an older disabled woman living in Bakersfield, my strategy this year is growing in containers--but with the pots up on a conference table in my backyard so I can tend the plants from my wheelchair. Its tricky getting soil and plants, but so far so good. Got herbs in a longer windowsill box (but sitting on the table not screwed to a window) and several other large-to-huge buckets, barrels and containers. Its unorthodox but its what works for me. Thanks for your guidance!

Wind is my enemy in a high rise co-op near the ocean.

Thanks for mentioning that mint is invasive when planted in the ground. I'm doing container gardening, but stuff like this is always good to know, so I don't inadvertently mess up not only my backyard but all my neighbors' properties near me as well.

I’ve been growing butternut squash here in San Diego for years. I harvest the seeds from the largest butternut squash and dry them out and plant them in the next year around April or May. My latest crop was 50 butternut squash. I grow them all in just three 4 by 10 ft.² raised beds that are about 12 inches tall. I recently gave some to the neighbors and one of them grew 40 butternut squash. So exciting to spread the wealth.

The craziest thing I ever did was use an antique swing set for a grape trellis. And they're doing great. I also placed it to shade the pond. 👍

Container gardening is such a nice option for seniors or busy parents or students who can’t do a whole garden. It’s great stress relief, conversation piece, distraction, lovely way to grow food or decorate a small out door space, easier. So cool!

[VivianCastillo]

I am into container gardening especially now that we are on a lockdown. I planted on crates, poly bags, pots and recycled materials. In just 3 weeks we had something on our table. Let's keep growing! New friend here! 😊

"And don't ask me how I know that"
Sounds like something I would've said to my mother in my late teens. 😆😂

Thanks so much. I grew up on a farm and have often grown veg gardens as an adult. But I'll tell you, shockingly, I learned so much from this video. You communicate simply, to the point, and pleasurable. I can't wait to get rolling on this. Good luck to you!

I love these videos. This guy is very good at simply explaining how to garden in a variety of situations. Easy to understand. He doesn’t make it sound like rocket science as some others do.
