Let’s gooooo
Just LOVE how you talked about BC seeds - use what you have but rescinding your support because of who they platform etc. I just love how open you are and how honest and how much you encourage us to LEARN and grow - not just our gardens but also grow ourselves. LOVE YA!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I'm so glad it resonated with you! At the end of the day, our money is one of the greatest votes we have!
OK, legitimate question, cause maybe I missed it, and my search came up flooded with the tomato controversy, is there something else of concern that I missed? I'm not judging anyone if that's a step to far for them, but I've made peace with that, but I'd be pretty devastated if there where things I would not be so willing to forgive (human rights stuff etc) that I missed because its being drowned out, cause they are honestly one of my primary seed sources , even pay for the big catalog as a b-day present to me every year!
Brian... do you need a seed intervention??? 😂😂😂❤
Incredible seed collection, can’t wait to see the plan, what you decide to grow, your excitement is so inspiring and infectious, Abundance 🌻🌻
Abundance! 💛 I can’t wait to get growing!!! 💛
I absolutely love these longer format videos and all the education you are bringing to us! First saw you on TikTok and had to follow you over here ❤
I’m so glad you found me! Abundance! 💖
I am LOVING the longer form content. Thanks Brian!
You're welcome! Abundance!
I love True Leaf Market. Incredibly reliable germination rates and lots of varieties and to my knowledge no shady business.
🗣️ Hudson Valley Seed Co mentioned(!). They’re up by me in New York. I made note of the peppers you love, I’ll see about picking them up! They have really fun art packs. I like their cucamelon (I bet Bruno would also love cucamelon), shishito peppers, baby bok choy,, and ground cherries. They also carry some really lovely fine art prints!
Abundance!! I love their art work!
Can't wait till you pop off, we need a latino to represent us in the garden community!!
ABUNDANCE
I am TRYIN! Looks like I’ve finally gotten picked up by the algorithm here so I just have to keep pumping out the content!
Oh, and ABUNDANCE!
That is an abundance of seeds, even Bruno was shook! Thank you for being you, teaching us while entertaining all the same while. I appreciate these videos so much, got me excited about gardening.
Your videos just suddenly got in to my shorts and now Im ADDICTED! Thank you for all the videos and your wholesome energy!!💛✨
(Btw a QnA video would be awesome!)
So glad you're enjoying the videos! Abundance! ✨
OMG, the energy is so legit. Same! I am so excited, can't wait. Spring be here already.
The seed energy is REAL!! 🙌
I think 🤔, this might be the first time I might Love a man… 🤣🤣🤣 never seen someone with so many seeds!!! That is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Abundance of seeds is the best! ✨
Every time you say BEEEENZ! it brings me unfathomable joy 😂🖤
Listening (not watching 😅) while driving home from work. I absolutely love the long videos and just listening from your excitement 😊
im all for fart noises 😭 loving your longer content 🫶🏼
Hehehe thank you!!
This is my year primo! My garden is gonna look so cute
You got this!!!!
Also…cylindra beets are AMAZING! I grew one 5.25lbs this past year. It was HUGE but it was still tender!
And Belstar broccoli grow big too!
Thank you for the video! I was binge watching all your video!
Awesome! Thank you! 💛
This was so fun and definitely inspired me for my garden this year
Thank you for helping make my seed collection look totally reasonable 💚
Can never have too many seeds!
I work in a plant & seeds shop in Germany and it’s so cool to see what plant seeds you got that we don’t. Keep going, your gardening content is so amazing. Love ittt❣️
Thank you! Will do!
Just starting to learn about gardening, and trying to plan what i can grow in containers in my small yard, but I'm so happy to have your videos pop up in my suggestions. Seeing you so excited for the upcoming season is infectious lol.
Thank you for sharing!!
You can get a filing cabinet and organize the seeds based on how you haven't with folders inside the filing cabinet
Thanks for this idea! I actually have a filing cabinet I was gonna get get of but not anymore!
I've never thought of using a filing cabinet for seeds, that's genius!
I'm most excited to be growing more flowers this year. The last two years of gardening I've focused almost entirely on veggies and while that was great for eating and preserving there was just... something missing. A spark of playfulness or joy that I was looking for. My yard is basically barren and is all thick clay and stone [we also live in Tennessee, zone 7b] so all that is growing except in the beds is grass. I need COLOR.
You're gonna have such a beautiful garden this year!
Organizing future abundance! I've been watching you since you first started posting on TikTok! So much more abundance, but the same positive abundant attitude. It's been such a pleasure watching you and your little homestead grow.
I’m so happy you’re enjoying the journey! Thank you so much!! Abundance!💛
Wow I just loved this video! Got me so excited about picking my seeds for this year 😍
I'm so glad!
I recently got into learning about gardening and this channel has been so much fun on that journey!!! I can’t wait to see this year’s abundance!
So glad to be a part of your journey! Abundance awaits! ✨
i have just a little backyard garden im starting in the city in southern california and i love your content so much i even turned my mom onto it!! she loves abundance just as much as you! i cant wait for planting season to rcreate my own abundance!
Hey I am also in Southern California, may I ask what do you grow? I am nervous to start a little garden on my south facing patio (thankfully mostly sunny:) I also found Brian the same way. Happy he’s on UA-cam feels like hanging with a friend lol
That’s awesome! You got this! So happy you get to enjoy it with your mom!

Long format fits you SO WELL keep it up I love it!!!

Abundance 🥰
Excited to see the garden this season! Wishing I had the space to grow my own. If I could, I'd love to try growing canteloupe - it's one of my favourite fruits!
So excited for cantaloupe!!! I’ll grow them for you!
I just ordered your book. I can't wait to dive in!! You're amazing.
That's what I'll be doing tomorrow which is my weekend. I found your videos and I'm jealous of your garden lol. My trouble with picking what to plant is wanting to do to much.
You got this! Good luck with your garden! 😊
This is my year 2 garden! One company I really like is Southern Seeds! It could be a fun check out ❤️
Ooo I’ll have to check them out! Abundance! 💛
Some people have a trading card collection.
Some people have a seed packet collection.
It’s honestly neat because I’m learning about vegetables I’ve honestly never heard of. My dad is very traditional but I lovvee that you experiment and hope to do so myself when I can have my own garden.
Also Bruno booty was not on my BINGO card but him is the goodest boy so I’ll take it. 😊
Ooooo thank you for the idea of using craft boxes for my seeds lol
You're welcome! They really work great!
Yessssssss it’s seed starting seaaasoonnnn! I’m soooo behind on my seed starting being in zone 9B but imma get my life together and get it done next week.
You got this!!!
I love your videos so much. You have such a wonderful energy and zest for life that just beams from you. Thank you for sharing your wonderfully abundant spirit with all of us and keep being your amazing self. All the best
Abundance! 💖 Thank you!!
I'm getting so excited!

Hi Brian, question: Don't you worry about life expectancy of the seeds? I have find out and of course depends of the type of seeds that some don't grow after a couple of years. I have to be careful ordering seeds, it REALLY gets out of hand but is fun. At least you have the space to have ABUNDANCE, and that is super. For me besides my age, I have to work with a few raise beds and areas where I get good sun. Always fun to watch you videos. Thank you for them.
I just liked without even listening

I planted my first ever seeds today! Onions! So excited to try and grow some of my own food this year :)
ABUNDANCEEEEEEE
ABUNDANCE! 💛
Abundance! I just found your videos via shorts and 🎉 I never have any idea of what I am going to grow until I it warms up. I am in zone 8b in the US and last frost date here is April 25. My first two years I did start with seeds outdoors and indoors, but last year I just purchased transplants and it worked better for me as I dont have grow lights or the indoor space anymore for two months it takes to get seeds ready to transplant. I have been expanding my herb garden so I will probably add a few new herbs and strawberries grow here great. I did garlic and walla walla onions and have an abundance of them so I will probably do onions again this year and plant garlic in fall so its ready to harvest next year. And tomatoes of all kinds grow great here but i prefer the cherry tomato. Carrots and Cucumbers have been hit or miss so I might try eggplants this year. I do lettuces and spinach and kale every year too. I am thinking about trying Broccoli this year in place of Kale. Your video was so fun and I will be watching more! Thank you!
I’m so glad you found my videos! Abundance!
I just found your page and it's been so helpful. I am totally on board with the survival planning.. 😓. Been working on it for a few months now. I am in zone 6b and just ordered an 8x14 greenhouse. Came in boxes of course. So will have to level the ground when it thaws and then assemble so will definitely be late to start anything this year. I did order a ton of things from Johnny's seeds. Trying to get a variety as traditionally my parents eat very few vegetables and really need to branch out going forward. I also ordered a few books to work on my knowledge base.. 😅🎉
I love watching your Tik Tok videos!🥰love you so much❤️
Thank you!! 💛
😂😂😂😂 I got up this AM to do the same! Just sat down for a break, this must be a sign spring IS coming! Happy gardening! ✌️💗🌈🐢🌱🌻🐝🦋
Spring is in the air! 🌱🌻✨
You are such a nice soul. Luv you from Pakistan.
I just subscribed!! I love your videos ❤ thank you for educating me!! hopefully I’ll have a beautiful garden 🪴 just like yours one day 🫶🏻❤️
You got this!!! Thank you so much 😌💛
Abundance!!! I’m looking forward to this years growing season!
I was sitting here thinking “do I tell him or do I not tell him about Baker Creek”😂😂😂 and then you brought it up in the video. Such a bummer!! I was so excited when I got my first order from them and then shortly after learned about the ethical issues. But you know what? I’m finally going to plant my seeds from them after seeing this😂but never ordering from them again. IN OTHER NEWS, thank you for shouting out other seed companies!! I’ve found so many great ones from your content!! And I’m excited about your channel taking off on here!! Sorry for the novel lol
I was so bummed too. But never worth getting rid of seeds! They’re too important. So glad you enjoyed the video!!! 💛
The last few years, the germination rate of baker creek seeds has sucked anyway, not just for me but for a lot of others I've seen too 😢
I finally subscribed today because of olive
New sub here.. i guess im not the only who breaks out in song, when organizing their seeds..lol love it!
I’m always singing!! Haha 😂
i love the mushroom picture
Preparing for a crazy few years? Great idea! Need a roommate? I can help with weeding and....um....enthusiasm. I'm not too much of a garderner or cook or cleaner but I am a great organizer! So there is that. I also come with a cute fluffy white dog.
Excited to see what makes it into the garden this year! Thanks for sharing your method for selecting what you want to grow too.
You are so welcome! I’m so ready to grow!!!
Yes!!!! Just learned about BC myself and will not be supporting them going forward.
Also…get the photo cases from Michaels for seed organization! I use clear but you can get coloured to categorize by season etc. and paper clips from the dollar store to keep those seed packets from leaking out.
I love you!! 🏳️🌈❤
I would love to see vid about how you grow your loofas tomatoes and etc. My abuela is farmer and she is so impressed with your garden!
Aw thank you abuela!!! Can’t wait to share the garden this year 💛
Can’t wait!
Omg idk how i stumbled upon your channel but i love that I did you are amazing I'm here for it.
I'm so glad you found me!! Thank you! Abundance!
I have 0 idea how you eneded up in my feed but I am super happy
Glad you’re here! 😊
BEANS! I'm glad I'm not the only person yelling out categories as I organize!
BEANS!! Haha
Also ABUNDANNNNNCCEEEE
ABUNDANCE!!
We ❤ Bruno!
Your voice is a good Disney Character.
yay! i live in an apartment but i dream of having a house with a garden someday 💞 until then im living vicariously through you 🥹
Just want to support you in your dream! Even if you’re in an apartment you can totally still grow food like green onions or micro greens, sprouts, or even herbs in small pots. I think I saw a short video where someone grew micro greens in their cleaned out reused sardine cans, and it was quick and easy to grow for adding greens to their sandwiches and salads. If you’re doing that already, awesome!
@ thks for the support 🥰 yes, i've had success with herbs like basil! i live in an extremely hot climate though so it's hard not to burn them accidentally lol im trying it out again this year! i hear cherry tomatoes are doable as well 😍
I’ll be growing for the both of us 🫶🏽
@@vitoriaalvarez4496 Good luck! I love that Brian talks about indigenous populations and learning about what they grew in your climate and area. I live in a four season area, deep cold winters, hot humid summers, and rocky ground, and our soil is acidic. Also, deer, groundhogs, and rabbits… lots of things we need to think about with reclaiming our garden.
I live in an apartment too and if you have an extra bedroom you can make a mini indoor garden there. I got one and I’m not disappointed! But having a house with an outdoor garden is better. For now just make the best of what you got.
Thank your video❤
I found your channel about 2-3 days ago & i’m so happy I diddddd. I’ve been binge watching your videos & shorts. I love it here ! Anyhow, I can’t wait to see your plan 💗 Abundance 2025 !
Ahhh thank you so much!! ABUNDANCE 2025! 💛
I've followed you for a long time and pre-ordered your books as soon as I could. I am love loving watching the longer content. I, too, am in Tn and only beginning my gardening journey. Could you do a video on amending soil? I have raised beds but still nervous to attempt to grow on the clay.
Abundance 🔥🔥🔥
Abundance🎉
Abundance❤❤❤❤
Will you make a list of your favorable and also ethical seed companies? Please and thank you. 😊 I've always wondered about baker creek 😶。
I have a seed haul video where I share some of my faves!
I can't wait to grow more strawberries!!!! I want to start the three sisters ASAP. Also, peppers and all the tomatoes! I have too many seedlings started and not enough space.... need to find a garden friend.
I feel that on the not enough space part 😅
Ugh..bummed to hear about Baker Creek (I hadn’t heard the tea until I just did some digging) but the bright side is that now I’ll be motivated to start saving my own seeds on varieties I’ve gotten from them that I can’t find with other companies so heeeeyyyyy…new skill will be unlocked 💁🏽♀️😂🥂
Omg I neeeeed to find those carrot tapes! 🤩👏🏽🥕
It's such a shame about Baker Creek but I'm glad you're finding motivation to start saving your own seeds!
I thought I was a freak in Collecting seeds but U have heaps of seeds...
The Redicio lettuce is sour but great for Iron for you...put in salads with other salads...get some Sorrel Lemon one U will love it growns in a lump and just gets bigger and U cut it off for salads and sandwiches...
Is your dog a Wolf Hound he looks like it...well trained aswell...😂❤😂❤
Can never have too many seeds!!! And he’s a cane corso x bouvier mix!!!
When I’m able to garden I can forsee developing a storage issue regarding seeds 😭 Always amazing to learn your process!
Storage is so important!! I’m gonna upgrade mine this year
I just bought some seeds bc of you!! I'm so excited to grow again ❤
Omg yay! Abundance!!! 💛
Quite my show is on
Bruno is the cutest! What breed is he?
Isn’t he?! Cane corso x Bouvier!
I adore him! I’m a new, but loyal subscriber. Cheers to 2025 being the year of ABUNDANCE!
Did this, this past weekend... still missing a box of seeds though from last years grow....almost all my tomatoes and peppers were in that box.....😢. Have to order new ones
Your video is so good and fun❤
Love and prayer from me❤❤
Abundance
Abundance!
Ooooh wait I love those leaf pillows!! Where did you get them??
How about edible flowers? That would be pretty to see on a salad ❤
I want this many seeds but my husband says no 😅 our lot is small so I want to look more into urban farming to maximize our space. So much to learn!
Update: I went and bought more lol
You go for it! You can grow a ton in a small space! 💛
Even if I were to try and grow cilantro.. I’d be eating before I could even cook with it. Fresh cilantro just is too good.
Excuse me, we need to hear more singing. Oh my goodness, your little snippet of singing made me stop what I'm doing❤❤
ABUNDANCE
Face it... You're a seed hoarder 😂👍
Hell yeah!!!
Do you write the year you bought them on the envelope? Does that matter?
dare: grow as many random crops you can.
Hi! I hope you don't mind me asking but what breed in bruno? he is soo cute 🥺
He’s a Cane Corso x Bouvier!
