    Perhaps the flowering, but not fruiting cucumbers is due to a lack of pollinators? Maybe they did their work with the tomatoes, but the cucumbers flowered later? However, I don't think beans require pollinators so maybe the soil is lacking something? I'm curious. Are you growing catnip for your cats, or neighbors?

    There's a decision to be made about the amount of time and money put into a garden. Too much, and it's not worth the return. I'm a poor gardener, but I almost always get some return. Of course, the above decision doesn't take into account how much you enjoy the activity. If someone wants to spend all of their free time in the garden, do what you love. Thanks for the video!

    I had an unusual experience this year. I decided to grow indoors with grow lights super early. It ended up being too early, and the seedlings got too long before it was good weather for planting in NY. At the end of the last year, as I was picking tomatoes in the fall, a few were rotten. I absent mindedly put them onto a dirt filled clay pot on my back stairs and forgot about them. When my tomatoes for this year failed, I was happy to see that my discarded tomato had plenty of hardy specimens ready for planting! Thanks for sharing your method. It's a lot more organized than mine!

    Thanks for the info, I want to grow sweet potatoes but not for tubers, the vines, leaves & stems are edible, full of carbs, protein, & fiber plus plenty of micro nutrients & vitamins. Expect to use as a replacement for salad or spinach, want to be able to produce salads on a sailboat. Looks like the jar + water method would work great.

    Thanks for showing the failures too. I enjoy a lot of gardening channels, but some of them put so much time, and materials into their gardens that it's an unrealistic goal for me. I don't have your space, but I have a similar percentage of success and failure. I'll keep trying and learning. Thanks for the video.

    I thought I'd be really smart and start tomatoes indoors with grow lights. I ended up with nothing. Luckily, I had tossed some rotten garden tomatoes in outdoor pots last fall. They sprouted in the spring, so I used then instead.

    You can also have pieces of cardboard cut to window size and put up on the windows inside the curtains, especially during the night. You can even put cardboard against the outside walls to keep the cold from seeping through. An electric coffee pot might be able to plug into a power charger to boil water for soup to have hot food. A busun burner camping stove might be useable. I'm not sure if you need to have fresh air for that though.

    ohhhh Kathy!!! We had a ball python! Named Monty after Monty Python! Awww I miss Monty! Our Son, Lance brought him home one day from a friends spring of 2005 just 3 weeks before he left to teach English in Taiwan. He said "you'll look after him, right Mom" haha cute. As a kid we had lizards and I loved catching garden snakes. And of course I looked after Monty. I gave him to a friend who's son had another ball python after Lance passed away in 2017. It was a very hard decision for me... but with our dog Charlie and our cat Shadow... I dunno... I just felt I wasn't bringing Monty out enough and there was just to much sadness... well, the sadness hasn't changed that much but. It's really nice to see Artie! Thanks for sharing.
