    hi robbie 🤗
    another great video.
    i have a 6x2x2 raised bed that i plan to use for watermelon and cantaloupe seeds i started 2 weeks ago. i filled it with branches, food scraps and yellowing/dead garden leaves.
    it still took a lot of soil to fill (which of course settled) but i reused what was already in it and topped off with bags i purchased a while back.
    looking forward to a few each of watermelon and cantaloupe...and the updates on your colorful tomato raised bed. tfs

    Is there a reason you prefer to grow more bite size tomatoes instead of like beefsteak or canning tomatoes? Just curious, since you seem to have a much longer growing season than here in the Midwest. Also have you ever tried the Florida weave as a trellis for your plants? Thank you for all your knowledge you share with us.

    I live in colorado and was introduced to your channel early fall last year. Bought 7 totes and started filling them with kitchen scraps all winter. Then added soil on to ... now my veggies are growing crazy.. like they are in the tropics THANKS!.
    I have a question... do i remove all the composted soil and refill with kitchen scraps this fall/winter or should i continue topping off since the soil has settled. Please advice. Means a lot to me. TIA Kalyani

    Or just buy compost? I buy $12 per cubic yard. Just even a half yard I buy is equivalent to 4 huge bags found in big box stores like home depot etc for only $6. I topped 4in depth pure compost on a 5.5ft x 25ft inground bed with 2-3in of compost mulch for less than $30.. go straight to composting facilities. Way cheaper even if its not for free.

    The tomatoes will grow up excellent the way you've plant them ❣️ You've calculated everything so good. The water, the food , the distance between them, how to trellis them, the heat❣️ Great job my friend 👏👏👏
    And your garden in the evening seems so peaceful and quiet ❣️
    The cement blocks with the tubbing is genius 💡
    I miss Kitty 💞 it's always a pleasure seeing her ❣️ thank you for adding her in the video ❤️❤️❤️
    I'm going to put my zucchinis on my other balcony that gets the afternoon sun. Maybe you are right about the sun.
    And this morning I've put some infant formula in my tomatoes to feed them and I saw big earthworms ❣️ and there are earthworms in the big pot next to that tote that I've put the first earthworms. I'm so so happy ❣️ I have earthworms ❣️ and you were right cause they so love the infant formula. They were in the hole that I've put the infant formula the first time 💕 I'm so happy 🤗
    Thank you my sweet friend for all the tips you are sharing with us ❣️ You are so clever and it's always a surprise all of your videos ❣️🌟❣️

Yes, the tubing in the cement blocks work really good. I think moving your zucchini to the balcony with more sun will work better, definitely worth a try. Oh yes, I miss kitty so so much, every day. With the infant formula, it works great with the plants, and the worms just love it here, glad you got to see your worms go after it to, and yes they grow big, and produce more worms too 😊❤️ Thank You so much for the Super Thanks, and for being a good friend. Try to stay cool, and take care. 💕❤️💕❤️🌸
