Thanks for gardening with us!
Would love to grow some lettuce and stuff in raised bed
I would love to plant in a raised bed to increase my planting space!
I learned a lot I wasnt using fertilizer or mulching how many plants you could grow in one raised bed I only put 4 what a waste of space
That’s a beautiful cabbage. How do you know when they are ready to harvest?
I love that you always have ideas that I can put into practice Thanks for that!
Hey y'all 👋🏽 Missouri Zone 6 here
Thanks so much for good tips, coming in from New York. I think everytime I have a question I come to your videos, I started some cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, bird peppers, corn, rosemary, lavender, broccoli and cauliflower most I've ever done so far already indoors in prep for spring !
I am excited about growing some cucumbers and lettuce and tomatoes for spring to have a fresh salad!
Great video, thanks for sharing
I'm so excited about this year, as my husband built me a raised bed last year fir mothrs day! I've been buying start from NC the stores, and this year I got seeds! I cant wait to grow In ALL ways!
Nice idea for a trellis. Would this also work if in the middle of a large container?
Hurricane took out my green house 5 years ago been trying to get help to get it set back up so I can grow my own organic foods I am missing out on another year sure could use some help
I have learned that you need good soil and need to feed your plants, so they will feed you!
Hi all I learned that if you have 3 squash you can keep two instead of clipping two, thats great for me also the sunflowers never thought of adding them.
Love your garden videos. Love the one on trellis. I love all garden ideas. I am a new gargenner.
Awesome! So many possibilities to fill a bed. Great vid!
Hi, I am watching your videos twice. This is the first time I am going to use raised beds and am learning from your tips . Thank you
I love your show! I'm still doing spring gardening, but I have learned that I have people like you for motivation! Thank Cali
I am a beginner garden ane love all your infor for raised bed grdening. I am new to thee live giveawys.looking forward to getting my garden vegetables plnted!
Excited to start my own small garden 😍
First time planting red 🌶 I hope I get some!
Would love to win love your videos you have teach me so much.
I can't wait to get a raised garden bed!
Darn I missed it
love the raised rectangular bed. I've used the thriller, filler, spiller technique with ornamentals, but am anxious to try it in the veggie garden.
I would appreciate an entry in the giveaway. Thank you
I love the trellis idea and also saving money on soil by lining the bottom of the garden bed with sticks and leaves. The leave will also give nutrients to the soil in time. Genius!
Starting my first garden this year! Most excited for melons because it is the thing my kiddos desperately wanted!
You have got a rich and nice garden. I don't have land but have a fantastic organic mini garden. I can grow faster with a small amount of soil. Have a nice day
Question: Hi CaliKim, new gardener here and I have a question. I planted my seedlings in my garden bed 6 days ago… they are looking healthy however I'm not seeing any new growth yet. Is there something wrong or are they just taking some time to establish before growing? Thanks!
I appreciate your video, I follow your for years but I don't have green thumbs. That why I quit even I wish I can do like you. You have a lot of patience, go up n down the hill, cover your plants protect them from the sun…. Love to you in the garden
Thank for the info. To cold to plant but now I know about fertilizing plants to make them grow more, tomatoes and cumbers ,
I won't be doing a raised bed but will be planting in a dozen or so containers. I'm really looking forward to trying out some new-to-me tomato varieties.
Ohh I love this
Love to grow tomatoes & peppers this year we are trying carrots, turnips , peas, potatoes
💚
As always love your garden and how easy you make it sound. Beautiful. Im going to be moving to califirnia very soon this month and i hope yo get some ic your tools to make a small garden. Thank you dear very much fir your great insoiration. Lili
I learned I need to add more items in my raised beds!
First time gardener! I'm very excited!
Love this video. I'm recently retired and my wife felt I needed a hobby, so she bought me a Yoocann hydroponic grow system so I can grow my own herbs and vegetables. I soon started transplanting in Large and small pots. I now want to start a raised bed and your video here definitely gave me something to think about. Thanks for the video!
Hi Calikim, I'm new to gardening. Can you direct to your first video I should watch to get me started, or the series I should begin with. I have watched a couple of your videos and love them. I also signed up on your website to get notifications.
I am going to start my first garden & I learned how to be successful in starting my new garden. I'm so looking forward to being successful!!! Thanks so much😊
I haven’t had a good tomato in 4 years because I didn’t have a new spot in the ground to plant!! I’m have so much sun but I can’t dig another spot!! I’m going to do this! Thank you for sharing and your small garden looks beautiful!!
Thank you for sharing . Was very helpful. I learned a lot from this video❤
I'm so excited go get started! I learned about the drip irrigation and multching the top! Thank you!!
Loved learning what to plant together and how to apply mulch on top. The homemade trellis was so helpful!
So so informative. Thank you so much I’ve learned a lot and we are building our beds as I watch your videos. I’m excited thank you.
