Great timing on this video. Who knows what Georgia weather will be like for the month of April. I'm just trying to get beyond the tornado season. 😂

Thank you Calikim and Camera Guy. Today in the morning I transplanted some of my tomatoes outside in my back yard, once the sun starts to go down I will go again to transplant the rest. I have a variety Cherry tomatoes and colors, some heirloom beef stakes and a variety of regular size heirloom tomatoes as well. Thanks to your tips, as to when to plant, what to plant, when to start I am doing so much better then last year. I live in Santa Clarita ( Six Flags) our heather is similar, hotter in my area though. I started because my 80 yr old mother to keep her occupied and help with depression. She is very happy and excited and tells every one, she plants and grows veggies in containers. I let her have all the credit ha ha ha. I work and now gardening I have so much work but I love it, my mom is enjoying it, she just walk out to her tiny patio and grabs her lettuce, sugar peas and soon warm weather veggies. Gardening is really helping me with my mom and through this pandemic year. Happy Gardening season!

I cannot wait for the end of May! Nearly all my tomato seeds germinated, and I've got a good feeling about some success this year! Fingers crossed 🤞 🙏 🍅

[chandlerjohnson]

You're like the Bob Ross of planting 💛🌱 thanks so much for all your tips. I started using a grow box and got seedlings for the first time ever!

[socomichel]

Wow... I have been doing my tomatoes all wrong! Thank you so much for the tips! Gosh I should of looked for you last tomatoes season 🙂

[viviannuckols]

Love these tips! Mine are very small so not ready and still in the 40's in San Jose, CA at night so not ready just yet. I have an indoor Tiny Tim with tons of flowers and getting ready for tomatoes! I can't wait!

[iwant.a.pepper]

Fantastic video Kim and CG!!! And yay Ranka!!! I'm really enjoy seeing everyone who's shared their clips... thanks for including those :)

[vee]

Beautiful red color everywhere 🌹perfect to think on the future tomatoes 🍅 🍅🍅🍅❤️

[eightybananas]

So cool to see how others garden around the world 🤍

[teriwilliams]

Perfect timing! I was going to transplant my seedlings but realized it’s not big enough.

[wyattspop]

Sorry I haven't been around lately, I fell in my garden and crashed into our metal fire pit, smashed my shin into a huge stone nearly breaking it (ER visit), wrist sprain catching my fall and trashed my back! I planted well over a hundred herbs and veggies using the tips I learned from you over the past year, thanks for all your great videos as always.

[minimeadowsstablesschleich]

bought 20 seed packets of new things to grow and because i’m in canada there’s a smaller selection of fabric pots, but i found some at a local store today, and i normally order smart pots on amazon. really exited for it to become warmer!!

[tabithasherie]

I was so happy to receive my order yesterday! I appreciate the detailed instructions on all of the seed packaging. Your book is wonderfully written! I’m most excited about the Tiny Tim tomato seeds; can’t wait to plant the amazing varieties in the seed collection!

[jackrudden]

My tomatoes got some cold damage this year. Maybe a little sunburn too. But now that it’s warming up, they are slowly but surely greening up and growing. They should be just fine in another week or so. Going to get into the upper 70s next week.

[minimeadowsstablesschleich]

all the kelp and sea grass/weed came from newfoundland because early 1900s it was all about fishing and gardening so i’m going to the beach and doing the same she was doing in that video and collecting kelp. great video

[BrittanyHerz]

So many great tips!! And how cool is using sea grass?!! Wowza! Question: do you think we could use a black trash bag like a shade cloth, but for protection against the cold at night, as long as it taken down during the day? I don’t have any milk jugs around and I’m trying to come up with another idea. Thanks for the video!

Hello from Appletree Urban Homestead (on YouTube) from Perth Australia. I just found your channel and subscribed. We have just started our own little urban homestead but unfortunately our poor vegie garden got decimated with the extremely hot weather we had earlier in the year here in Perth Australia. We are having to start all over again and I am documenting our journey to self sufficiency on my new YouTube channel.
