    Great thing about Hollis and Nancy's videos (besides being a nice Christian couple) is that each vid takes you from seedling to harvest. I love having a cup of coffee and watching each of their journeys.

    Hi Hollis, Nancy & Bing Bing. I have enjoyed watching your video's. You have given me the confidence to grow my own veggies. I live here in Florida also and hate this soil. My dad can grow anything but I just usually watch him grow stuff, but now I am trying to grow stuff too. I started with your potato video and my husband is waiting with knife and fork to dive in. I love your build videos too! "Now that is something I can do!" I am about to build your 5 gallon bucket container holder and your diagram is the greatest. Thanks for all the guidance and the video's. I will definitely be watching with anticipation on what you grow or build next. God Bless and keep you both!

    Another wonderful video with another interesting variety to check out. I’ve just discovered Baker Creek seeds this year. I ordered from them and planted some beans called Blauhilde, just to see how they turn out. They have pretty purple pods (hopefully). I think I’m a bit south of you in zone 9b, so when you plant I know I can plant as well 😊. Thank you both for your videos.

    Hey Hollis! I'm wondering if there is a way to access all your diagrams in one place. Is there such a place? Is it searchable for specific builds? I'm not on Facebook, but maybe they're on a public part of your FB channel? Or somewhere on your YT channel. A website maybe? This is the year I'd like to expand and better my tiny garden. I've been looking at some of your DIY videos. I must have watched the 5 Gallon Bucket Grow Table a dozen times (no exaggeration!). It's genius!! I've shared your YT and FB channels to friends, and pointed out the DIY videos that I thought they would most be able to use. My next door neighbors have a nice little veggie garden going. I bet when he sees me out there making a Bucket Grow Table, he's gonna ask, and I'm gonna tell! I've shared my peppers, tomatoes, and eggplants with them.

    Does anyone have advice for this? Ive heard growing in container helps since flea beetle doesn't go high. I'm thinking of putting grow bags for this right in my garden. I'd appreciate any advice this community has I'm determined to get some eggplants this year! :) thanks
