So great to see you first thing in the morning!
and have the help and support. Gardening is so challenging for me,
I find it challenging not to get discouraged, rodents, squirrels, gophers who broke through my gopher wire…
I’m growing, zinnias and other flowers, tomatoes,peppers winter squash , cucumbers and melons 💚
👍
If you wear gloves when you touch dirt, it will help avoid strep. 😘
It’s a book I recommend !❤
As a new raised bed gardener, these are great tips!❤ thank you
I bet it feels great to be planting out your tomatoes after the long winter! I think we are about 2 weeks away from planting out in London. I can't wait plus the house is looking like a jungle! lol
I thought you couldn't put cukes and tomatoes together
Hi Kim, I planted peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, and squash. I also planted the seeds in the subscription box with my son. He loves planting and taking care of the garden with me.
Downy mildew is a HUGE issue in Maryland with the humidity. I ALWAYS get it and it kills the plants. So that’s why I always plant multiple rounds.
Good afternoon Kim. It's great to see you with another superb video. As always, the garden's looking absolutely lovely. I can only imagine how great those onions and that spoon mustard will taste once they're fully grown and ready for harvesting – and how beautiful all those flowers will be. I totally agree that when it comes to growing food and flowers in a raised bed kitchen garden, placement matters. As always, thanks so much for sharing all of your wonderful gardening tips and expert content , throughout all four seasons. 🌹🌹🌼🌼🌻🌻😊😊
You do the world a great service with this channel. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Hello just found your lovely channel. What is the cleanest/ safest material to use to frame a raised garden please?
Every year I plant squash only to have vine borers kill my plants. I get a few before they come along. Any suggestions? Love all your videos.
OK, you asked and here’s my list
We love and I’m growing: tomatoes, cucs, peppers, onions, basil, dill, oregano, parsley, mint, calendula, nasturtiums, chamomile, zinnias, marigolds, strawberries, lettuce, beans, pinto beans, kidney beans. Soy beans,Lima beans, kale, carrots, watermelon, loofah, potatoes, garlic, rosemary, sage, spinach, squash zucchini, tarragon, thyme, ginger, yarrow, alyssum. Bee balm, borage, dianthus, echinacea, forget me Nots, daisies, lavender, Poppy, safflower, sunflower and a lemon tree.
Kids, excellent job of explaining a simple garden, even a first timer will make this work.
Planting is fun for me, moreover we can see the fruit we plant
This was such a fun video!!!!
I like the huge tomato cage. My cages are just not tall enough. The ACE 55 tomato is crazy tall.
Camera Guy did great with all of the angles too.
Spring is just so much fun! 🎉
😅
Do you have a link for the seedling pot for your zucchini? Did you say cow pot?
This raised bed is so beautifully diverse, its a little veggie paradise in itself. 🌱🍅🥒🌶🥬 Love the combination of sowing seeds next to the seedlings to prolong the harvest window. 👍
