  • You can start growing and eating food in less than 30 days from just a small kitchen garden. In this video I share 7 crops you can plant and harvest from seed that are great for spring gardens. Even if you're a beginner gardener that has yet to start their spring garden, you still have time to plant leafy greens, onions, microgreens, herbs and more to give you ingredients that will liven up every meals for a fraction of the cost that you'd spend to purchase them fresh at the grocery store. If you want to learn how to grows, harvest, and eat tons of food from a small garden using vertical GreenStalk planters, join me on my deck and meet me in the kitchen! There's nothing like fast food from a small garden using food grown in just 30 days!

It's hard to wrap your mind around that, when really I feel like the farm girls I'm meeting here on the channel are the 50-60 'regulars' that I see (like you) through the comments. The biggest blessing is meeting other homestead dreamers that live in apartments, townhouses, or other small spaces like me and are creating "humble homesteads" with what we've got! Thanks for the encouraging words my friend!

      Hey Becky! Always lovely to see you! I suspect things look especially good in my Green Stalks this year because the amount of rain and cool temperatures we've had over the past month has been incredible (its rained every weekend for the past month and another 1-2 days per week. There have been a few abnormally hot days, but temps have averaged between 40-65 degrees, perfect for cool season crops). In recent years "true spring" (ya know, the kind where you can leave your windows open and enjoy a cool breeze) has felt like its only lasted a week or two. Each year the garden is different, but I'm so happy to hear you've got it going!

The canning video you mentioned was truly something I was very nervous to share, but it truly speaks to the core of why canning means so much to me and how it can powerful serve your family and loved ones in ways that aren't talked about much. While we wait a few more years to move to a small homestead, gardening with Green Stalks has allowed to step into my "gardener identity" while still tucked in my townhome and honey I'm just so grateful! The ease of watering, rotating your garden, easily accessing your plants can't be beat. I'd never be able to grow this much if it weren't for my Green Stalks. Friend, I am so happy that you have encouraged my heart today.

      Thank you, Deborah! This year the spring weather has been especially cooperative (it's rained every Saturday for the past month with another 2-3 rainy days during the week) and, other than a few unseasonably warm days, the weather has been between 40-60 degrees (perfect for cool weather crops). I'll start to use a shade cloth as the temperatures warm for summer, but so far so good!

      Hi Lori! Due to my space restraints, I wouldn't be able to grow nearly as much as I am without my vertical Green Stalks! I also enjoy the advantages to growing off of the ground (less pest pressure). The ease of watering a garden (automatic drip irrigation to evenly water plants) and the ability to easily rotate and move my garden to catch the sun or shade or check on my plants. There are tons of Green Stalk videos and I certainly watched them all before purchasing my first one! I'm hooked. Their website is also a wealth of information. Keep me posted!

    Texas has had so much great rain my garden is a little slow. Tomatoes filled with blooms and just forming tomatoes. Okra is up, Rattle snake beans, pole bush beans and new for me this year Rise and Shine upright summer yellow squash by Burpee Seed. Thanks for all the tips, tricks and great ideas.

I grew up with a godmother from the country in Mississippi and when we were kids, she'd take us from Florida to the farm during the summer n we'd pick all kinds of fruits n veggies. She even knew everything about prepping animals for a meal but I couldn't get into that, but I'm hoping to have chickens one day for eggs. Glad I found u!!

      Hello new friend! Thanks for saying hi! I've got several other videos sharing different topics about growing in a Green Stalk (with more to come). It sounds like you and I are in the same boat, but one thing I can tell you is that vertical gardening is the way to maximize growing food in a small space. I pack out these planters and wouldn't be able to grow nearly as much as I am if my only option was pots or buckets. It sounds as if you come from a rich agricultural heritage and are "returning to your roots". I'd love to be able to process my own meats as you godmother did and hopefully that's a skill I'll learn in time. Until then, there is so much joy even with a humble homestead (as I like to call my townhome!). Blessings to you my friend!

I'm realizing there's room for a lot more growth than I originally imagined, which is great!

    Have you ever considered hydroponics? I'm in Wisconsin and have a super demanding job during the cold months (high school teacher--70 hour work weeks, truly). I've been thinking about an aerogarden or something like that to get through the winter. Maybe Gardyn? But it's so expensive.

      Good Morning, Melissa! Haha, sorry to make you so hungry but once the plants in your Green Stalk starts to take off you really will have so many wonderful options to fold into meals. I use a combination of seeds, starts that I've purchased from my local farmers market or grown at home. Give yourself a season or two to figure out what works best for you. I just got two more Green Stalks (don't judge me, lol) and I'm going to do a video exclusively dedicated to my "strategy" behind how/what/what I pack in each pocket to give others some ideas. I'm so glad you've started your Green Stalk garden!
