    That's clean man. I am in the north side and started gardening back in 2019. In 2020 we got 15 chickens. I did an elevated raised bed over the chicken run. I did the same thing with seeds back in 2020, but I continue to buy seeds. Old seeds are in basement vacuum sealed. This year I will be planting 6 dwarf apples.

    Im in southern illinois, near st louis. This video made me smile. I hope you and your family are doing well. I am just getting started in my gardening journey. It is sort of healing to grow food with intent to feed your family, and maybe even some neighbors.

    Hey, I grew up on the Southside of Chicago. Love the city but hate the cold so I went to the south.
    Hopefully, you kept up with the gardening. Growing your own food is so satisfying.
    Your family & garden look great!

    I just came across your channel today. Beautiful garden & family! I’m in Chicago also & glad when I find people planting food here. I can relate more to gardeners here because we experience the same climate. I started planting a few things last year & I’m late starting back this year. I’m still learning but loved harvesting my red potatoes & sweet peppers! I don’t have a big yard like yours but I’ve been looking on Amazon for a sturdy & affordable outdoor greenhouse. Thanks for sharing this video. 👍

    What do you grow in the cement mixer containers; and how are they working? That seems like a good idea, those containers are very sturdy but not super deep.
