Hi B! I think that you are the first gardener that thought about their guests first. My wife is handicapped and so I try to plant in raised containers so that she can plant, harvest and enjoy just as much as I can. I am so glad I stumbled onto your channel...I'm hooked. Cheers from Down Under!

I do all my root plants in extra large grow bags. The potatoes really love them, great drainage, great airflow. This year I am also trying garlic and onions in grow bags. Also like to mention I am on my third summer using the same grown bags

Your garden is so neat. So many garden videos I've watched have no organization, making me think I definitely not doing that. Nice video. 🥰

Kale, collards, lettuce, etc don't require pollinators, so I cover mine in tulle. No leaf damage.

WAOH! IT ALL LOOKS SO PRETTY!

WELL DONE!!!🌞🌻🌞

Be sure to plant some red, purple (blue), & yellow flowers that are perennial. In NC mine bloom mid-June. This attracts honey bees, butterflies, and bumble bees. They need a little shallow cup of water. This gets your peas, beans, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers pollinated. That means more beans and most vegetables. Bees have gotten thin here because more highways have killed all the plants once there. Your garden is so beautiful and neat.

Thank you for motivating us to literally grow our own vegetables, strawberries, and maybe ginger.

I want my garden to look like yours when it grows up! Just now beginning w a container garden, as my backyard is too rocky for in-ground planting. Such a good view of what I’m aiming for! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

[busyrand]

Beautiful setup. Your voice is very pleasant. Thank you for the detailed tour. I'm envious of all your projects. Growbags atop crates is brilliant!

[bookswithb]

I love what you’ve done! Can’t wait to see it thrive this season!

[faustinaadams]

Really clean and organised garden. I'm really inspired to start gardening. Thanks

[agreenkitchenwitch]

Omg I thought I was the only one who had a lot of container. 😅 You have a lot of containers 😍 You inspire me to get more containers. Your garden is beautiful!!

In The Carolinas they use red and green or white cabbage, Cauliflower around the edges of their sidewalks like flower bed. Trust me it’s beautiful. They also make wreaths to put on their doors and they’re made of nothing but fruit fresh fruit nothing plastic.
Growing up so broke in Michigan we had to walk around and find food when we saw this in the Carolinas we were tearing those peoples doors up trust me we had every fruit that day lol

I use 18, 20 & 30 gallon storage totes, five gallon buckets and half plastic drums for my gardening. I have contaminated soil, so I don't grow anything in the ground. Storage totes are awesome. They grow lots of veggies 🥬🥒🥦🥕🍅🫑🍆🧄, potatoes 🥔, sweet potatoes 🍠 and flowers 🌺💮🏵️🌼 for pollination.

[carolinamoonslilenglishgar]

I'm always impressed by how tidy and well organised your gardening is, a great way to keep on top of it all 😊

Nice garden, nice work. I do containers too, have about 80 right now. For your small row of rectangle pots make a small platform, maybe using 2 x 4s. Put four wheels on it. Now you can move it around, out of your way. Have a good harvest!

[LashusJourney]

Your garden is beautiful sis! Thanks for the tour, those kales are beautiful
