    I love your videos. You have shown me that container gardening is a doable thing. I live in Kansas with a yard that is full of Bermuda grass! And bindweed, and I refuse to let it win. I have worked for twenty years on this yard and lost the fight every year! So I am taking down my raised beds, because they are now full of bermuda grass, and using the concrete blocks to build up wooden beds that the bermuda cannot get into. I have a new roommate that is an older lady who loves to garden and she cannot bend over anymore, so it will all work out perfectly. You guys are wonderful people, thank you for sharing your lives with me and the rest of the world.

    I should not have watched this right at bedtime! I got so excited to see the garden plans, space and dreams. I may have a hard time getting to sleep. 😉
    I am beyond thrilled for you both and for Bing Bing’s newfound freedom. He is also living the dream.
    My 70 year old body has been offloading garden soil for our grow boxes from our pickup as well as shoveling a dump truck of delivered garden soil for a week now. We still have about 3 days of shoveling left to fill all of our new raised beds we built with corrugated metal roofing trimmed with 2x4s. The work is tiring but provides great satisfaction as you well know.
    I love your way of thinking as you implement your dreams. As you end your videos with “by His hands”, I see YOUR hands and hearts working right along with Him
    Thanks for sharing your videos and journey with other retirees like us. You inspire us with all you do
    May God continue to bless your journey. Love you both...and Bing Bing 🥰🥰🥰

    All the trees I am cutting down on my lot in Florida I am going to let that go to fertilizing the soil. You could pile logs into a trench and berm over that for a raised bed type garden. Those trees with leaves would slowly breakdown into a nice fertile garden bed. A Hugelkultur German type garden.

    This is going to be an amazing piece of property. Definitely something for my wife and I to work towards when we’re in our fifties, but for now I’ll be working my backyard garden. Thanks for the video!
