I was just watching CBS Sunday Morning, and people were going to the store to buy plants and seeds, so now that phase has come into play, good thing i purchased my seeds a while ago.
In Chicago in an 1 bedroom... after watching your vids, i have my living room window filled and soon my balcony. Im using the hydrophonic method. And growing food from my sraps.
The money you save. Let me say it again. The money you save.. People go to store pay a dollar for 1 bell pepper. When you can grow and get 15 bell peppers off 1 plant minimum. I know your videos are truly helping people to use their backyard.
Right now we must pay for 1kg red bellypeppers in Portugal which has a long growing season 3.89 Euro. It's 2 or 3 smaller once. People can not afford to buy them. Many have fields and I see they're coming back with the whole family to work on their property again which they left many years unused. They know times ahead are not looking good.
Yes, love it! My patio garden is not pretty. My son said I have a ghetto garden 🤣. I dont care, we will have food! He was still outside helping me though😂👩🏿🌾👨🏿🌾. Thanks for the video Leadfarmer73. I have a tomatoe plant that I'm going to pot next. Also love the scenery very beautiful!
naj fog thank you so much. It don’t matter how it looks right now. You’ll lose NO points in the GreenHouse Lounge for a ghetto garden 😂🤣 just grow it and show it that’s all that matters right now 🌹❤️🌹😂✌🏽
I’d love to see your patio garden. I am in an upstairs apartment and have a large balcony/patio and need some ideas for starting a small garden out there!
I see so many comments of people saying.. "it's my first time growing a garden". Its all because of your encouragement Lead. You've created and built a great platform to get the word out. We do need to take it back! Our grandparents did everything themselves... We should also! Even when this virus is over, we still need to keep it! Hold it! Never go back! 🙂
The only way to take your power back is by doing it yourself! That hit me right in the chest I just wanna say thank you brother since I found you on youtube I've started planting my own vegetables lol just about everything I eat that has a seed I'm planting I went out and bought alot of seeds with my food stamps and planted them as well and not only is it going to pay off in the long run allowing me to provide for my family but it's very therapeutic just watering them and watching them grow! Thanks again brother!
"...bought seeds with my foodstamps.." Now YOU get it!! No excuses!! The best testimony on here... Use whatever this system has to offer to free yourself from it. Now that Im home all day, much of my $$ benefits is going towards releasing THE GRIP. My garden is expanding and Im getting chickens.
Your channel is inspirational. Last year i planted so much and i didnt get good results, thats ok, i regrouped and tried again. This year, im doing carrots, blueberries, strawberries, onions, peppers, squash, tomatoes, beets, cabbage, okra, and herbs. Im also going to try ginger and garlic
Hello Leadfarmer...... I just planted my VERY FIRST GARDEN. Thanks to you and the info you put out. I am FINALLY doing what I’ve wanted to do for so long. The difference n your Channel and others is.... you made things seem simple. I have different kind of vegetables, fruit and fruit tees. All praises to HEAVENLY FATHER. Thank you for all you do.
S C thank you so much. I try to make it sound simple because it really is that simple. I don’t want to sound like I know more than you by making it complicated. I just want to help my people thrive and become self sufficient again. ✌🏽❤️✊🏽🌹
Eskimo in Alaska thank you. I just want to share facts and skills. This is the wrong time to be fake and dramatic right?😉 I just want folks to be alright that’s all.❤️🌹❤️✌🏽✊🏽
Thank you Brutha!! Do you understand that you are saving lives? You are literally saving lives by sharing what you do. Give thanks and thank God for you.
My grandfather planted until the age of 85y/o. He died in the field. I find peace watching you doing this. This Saturday morning feels good seeing all this instead of seeing all that bad news. Make your wife put her special touch on your gardening🌴🌿🌲🍀🌵! Put more herbs like Parsley and others that can blend!
My mom did all of this. She shopped at the little markets for fresh every thing. We all did. People of color, let's do our own thing.... We got this.. We are the survivors.
Yes, my momma, bless her country soul, would plant something wherever we lived. She introduced me to farmer’s markets and fresh fish that she caught at a very young age. My dad still manages his garden and he’s 82.
Man, I saw on the news, the line on the Interstate in Indianapolis lined UP for miles waiting to get food. I'm so glad I started my garden weeks ago! I got scallions roots in a cup, red mustard greens, collards, okras, watermelons, squash, etc. I'm growing things in pots first, and then transferring them into the ground. Cheryl organic gardening named her peach tree: "Leadfarmer73". I hope you and your family are safe in these "Corona streets". I just read how postal workers now want "hazard pay" during this pandemic, and they deserve it, and more!!!
@@ajayasir5272 are you in grow zone 6a? I need help figuring out what to plant, when to feed/fertilize, and how to protect from leaf eating and plant eating pests and fungi. Last year my garden was eaten up by something. I wasn't gonna try anything this year, but er.... I ain't tryna starve.
Quintella Herrington Quintella, do you pick the pods & let them dry in the sun or let they dry on the plant? Also, is it safe to assume you store them in a dark dry place? Thank you
So beautiful and peaceful. I'm so serious about my garden and I'm following your advice so well my mom has subscribed to your channel. Thanks for doing what you guys do 🙏✊
If you live in the pure country, where the deer, and wild animals roam, through your property, help themselves, to your garden, then invest in a small green house from Harbor freight. Keep your food from being eaten. Enjoy your labor.💓
I asked the manager at Trader Joes if they were positive the produce was "organic". He said it's based on the "honor system" and there's no real way of knowing if something is organic.
To me organic is just another word to sell things more expensive, I came along seeing planting being done with food scraps, animal manure, grass, leaves and that was the norm. As I got older I started hearing the term organic and free range and realized that these items are more expensive to buy. So I have all the items to start my own artificial free garden.
Its known that Whole Foods isn't always organic. They even transfer foods to the "natural looking" crates to make customers think the items were trucked in from the farm.
I know that's right. I just came in from setting up and tilling my garden spaces ( 2 4x4 ft raised beds) 4 old tires, 4 garden bags, 2 15gal heavy duty totes, a shed sized greenhouse, and many many large pots. NO GAMES.
I'm glad I started watching you...when I was little my grandma would find me in her garden early in the morning eating 😂 (yep take our power back). That's how she fed us. Forgot alot but your help and encouragement. I'm starting my patio container garden it's tiny but it's a start. I pray it works. I just wanted to say thank you for your teaching and steering to others who can help/ teach. Prayers to all and be safe, kind and blessed.
We're getting closer to the coming of Jesus Christ and we have to get our souls together Asap. Repent and pray for everyone. God is love ya'll!! Get ready
Amen, repent, turn from our wicked ways, believe and "confess" that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that God raised him from the dead the third day. Be baptized calling on the name of Jesus and continue in the faith and you will be saved from the wrath of God to come. Be blessed everyone.
I’m really happy that I found your UA-cam page. Thank you for what you do! Is it too late to begin my garden? What kinds of veggies are in season now or what would you recommend we start with planting?
I love that you talk about the WHY of what you do and not just the HOW. It’s such a simple thing but a lot of people live their lives day in day out, not knowing why they do every little thing they do. I know you aren’t one of those. Keep them coming!
Lead Farmer, much love and respect to you and your wife for what you are doing. You have inspired me in so many ways and I can't wait to try my hand at container gardening, as I have a very small balcony. 🍎🍓🍏🍑🍊🍈🍒🍌🍋🍇🍐🍍🍉 I'm in the process of looking for a home and one of my must haves is a decent backyard space to sustain growing my own little grocery store. Your videos make me extremely happy. Please, always continue to share you knowledge and wisdom.
This was a beautiful video, Lead. From the nature shots in the beginning to the music throughout. I love watching you, because you say what I've been preaching to my friends, family, and (hair) clients for YEARS! I get tired of all the excuses made....smh.
Good to see you doing well my Brother,Man I love Gardening my wife and I are out there all day when we can.I `m Building Raised beds this weekend....YAAAAAA.
Beautiful video! I love how you even spoke about planting leftovers from grocery stores to let it grow back. 👏🏻 People need to start growing their own food again.
Awesome video again lead ..love the sound of the birds and the view of the water .. I think this year gonna change a lot of people ,especially when it comes to gardening..I've planted more this year than ever before on my little balcony..I've even use recycled plastic bottle and use rope to hang it with..and its working perfectly..stay bless and safe everyone ..love from London UK ❤❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
None-ya Business please stay safe and blessed my friend. It was time for a change from the way we were doing things anyway. ( that’s me trying to turn a bad situation into a food thing) 🤷🏽♂️ 😉✌🏽❤️✊🏽
No excuses G... Thank you for get us our mail.... Im still driving city bus and my wife is a respiratory therapist so we out here....... And thank you for the garden info... Im tryna get the same info out🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
My first garden on my own: 2 types of tomatoes, greens, cabbage, red and regular mustard kohlrobi green and purple, peppers, kale, lettuce two types, watermelon,t turnips and more to come. I grew up with a garden and thanks to you as the new Orleans Gardener I'm getting back into and I'm enjoying myself. So thanks I appreciate you all.
Maaan, I was in my garden arranging my planter boxes, left the devices in the house & let the birds sing to me, got some seeds in the house growing waiting to be transplanted. My perennial herbs are coming back. You said Play time is over!...maaan I ain't playin😉
Came here to watch a gardening video and, unexpectedly, was given a lot of perspective. Wonderful gardening video! Great free thinker and motivational speaker also 👏👏👏 thank-you, good sir ♥
Good points. You're right my husband and I are in transportation and we pick up seeds that are grown "organically" all the time. In summary all organically grown means is that the FDA allows less of the chemicals in the non-organic foods. Like Lead said the only way is to grow the bad out like everything else. Thanks Lead you're appreciated.
Not sure how exactly true this is, I haven't researched it myself, but Silver Report Uncut on UA-cam just posted a video on VT big box stores banning the sell of seeds to the general public. Save your seeds!!!! Love the video by the way.
@@leadfarmer73 Thanks for verifying! I watched the video and bought seeds that I don't currently own from little shop of seeds right after. They're 55 cents per pack! Again, thanks for verifying that piece of Intel.
Man brotha there's nothing like walking and listening to nature but there is always beauty in the world. The greatest reward is to plant a seed watching the outcome. Putting something back in nature, GODS WORK.
I agree, this is the time to take preparedness seriously....cause eventually the time will come where millions will be left to fin for themselves. No stimulus, no food banks, no food stamps, and no convenience of a grocery store!
@@curiousone4757 I have faith, and I know that without works it would be dead. You'll be one of those who'll be plotting on how to go take somebody else's stuff, cause you had hope & faith, but didn't do a damn thing to prepare for what's going to come! And did you address leadfarmer73? Cause he said "Play time is over." What do you think he's talking about??
Watching this made me a little emotional. You seem to be frustrated in the most positive way. I didn't skip any ads to show my support. Love from the BX, NYC
Dude that was so beautiful I just sat here and cried.. Thank you so much for sharing such a magical moment with all of us. Peace and much love to all, from Alabama 💜💜💜
I feel so blessed I found your video. I'm very picky about who I listen to and as I've gotten older I've come to know that the wisest man is the one that admits , " I don't know." Thank you, great video.
I found volunteered potatoe sprouts in an old bed there already coming up I’m soooooo happyyyyyyyy I don’t care if I don’t have a better homes and garden I’m trying to eat and eat welllllll 😊
Thank you. Been doing garden for years in my backyard. Now everybody wants to learn how to do it. It puzzles me how much time has been wasted not growing your own food in your own backyard. Also, not counting the money you would save.
Thanks so much Lead for this vital infor of keeping your own seeds ,l was doing that already but people saw me as too poor to buy to buy new seeds ,l don't buy new seeds anymore ,even mealies l keep some for planting
Now That's How You Do It Take Your Power Back! I've Been Planting and recycling all my seeds from apples,oranges,peaches potatoes I'm so happy watching it form into a Beautiful Harvest Thank You!
I come from a family a farmers in the DR and I've always wanted to plant stuff here but never had the time or space. I still don't have the space but with this situation were are in right now I've stared my own in door little garden. For now I'm just starting with carrots, tomatoes, lemons, and some Sunflowers (because these are my mother's favorite flowers). This was all very informative. Keep up the good work!
Hey, I have some good news for you. While all of these break down, you can still have fresh veggies overwinter and into spring. Plant some spinach, lettuce, swiss chard, kale, collards, and possible Brussel sprouts in large quantities, and you can eat all winter and spring. You can also do asparagus berries and strawberries. If you want to grow more food from grocery stores, green onions, celery, leeks, and potatoes work the best.
Hi. I’m new to your channel and I’m new to my first garden just got it started. I realize it’s a little late but I see is the opportunity of a space when I had to have a dead tree removed. Boy was that a job killing that ground up with all the roots but we got it done. Anyway maybe you already have but can you do a video showing the seeds or how to get the seeds from all the different types of plants? And should they be left in the ground or potted and set aside?
the man didn't even take his uniform off now thats dedication... i cant wait to start my garden waiting for the temp to break here in NJ about 2 more weeks
i remember in my youth , we had a 1/2 acre farm in our back yard , Then the Gov out law it . We the people just need to take back our right to grow our own gardens again
How can we get lessons my son wants to start us a garden but doesn’t have a clue even though I grew up with all this ( my Daddy always had a 5 acre garden )
I would sit there majority of the day and watch the beauty of nature. I have seeds that I'm going to plant. I live in an apartment, I have a balcony . I am going to buy a bigger pot for my cabbage, squash and kale. I bought my seeds after watching one of your videos. 🙂
I'm going to try something. I do like Mustard greens, the Curly ones. But I need to start a easy veggie. I'm in a Studio. And thank you once again for your Awesome Videos. God Bless.
Newbie Here - Do you pick those seed pods and cut them open or just pick them and plant the entire pod. Also, when are the pods ready to be picked. Thanks.
I am beyond proud of myself for just starting a few weeks ago. I live in military housing in VA so all of my babies are in planters. My kids love getting out on our garden! Mr.Lead like I said before I have been binge watching your videos and oh man you keep me entertain!!! 😂 You and Mrs. Lead stay safe and please keep bringing us more content! ❤️
I can't find no beauty in the beavers...those suckers work furiously all nite long....every night they damn up the pond...and everyday...the kids have to undamn it😰
Mm Mm nobody knows like I know that you are telling the truth. But right now my friend it’s hard to be enemies with anything or anybody right about now. We are in a mess. I don’t care for their destruction either but I respect them. Very smart little monsters😂 just trying to find the food in things that rub me the wrong way that’s all.✌🏽❤️✊🏽
Amen to finding beauty and beauty in no matter what your garden looks like. We did much work today in our garden. Saw some issues and didn't beat ourselves up! We made discoveries, repairs, and maintained. All with an excited and joyful mood. Gardening is beautiful and healing. No longer disappointed at the hiccups, but always getting better and improving. Blessings Lead and family!
Main Course Encouragement no garden is perfect. That’s just the part most font show. 🤣😂🤣 because I have plenty of disaster areas on my land. 😂🤣 no worries though. Still gotta keep on pushing up food though. Can’t let a little mess stop us now.😂🤣✌🏽✊🏽
I am watching as I finish cleaning the 4 kg of fish I caught with my hubby today. He dont wat fish... But I do. So if I go fishing... Then we bringing it home. Mmm
Lead I’m beyond serious we need help can you tell me what we should plant our garden will be mostly in a shaded area that’s the only spot we have my son started turning the ground yesterday so should I buy soil to mix in
Man you have an amazing view behind your home! I love listening to and watching the birds that come to visit. So glad I found your channel you have taught me that I can do this.....the community that we have is beyond amazing! Thank you and keep sharing you are making an impact!!!! Be blessed family ❤
Yes, Brother Lead ... beauty is in the simplest things around us ... Its a rainy day here in Florida Yes ... Once its producing food, ... I'm Good Have a good new week ... Peace and Guidance
I started my tomato plants from seed February 19th but they are light green can someone tell me if I should be worried? If its something I can fix please help?!
Love your attitude and message. I've been gardening for years; took a year off and hitting it hard again this year. Here in FL we're fully stocked in the big box nurseries, but...I aim to do exactly what you spoke about. Thanks and blessings; keep up the good work. You have a new subscriber! Jim

🍎🍓🍏🍑🍊🍈🍒🍌🍋🍇🍐🍍🍉
I'm in the process of looking for a home and one of my must haves is a decent backyard space to sustain growing my own little grocery store. Your videos make me extremely happy. Please, always continue to share you knowledge and wisdom.
Indeed we live in a world of lies!!
Peace and Tranquility!
you're absolutely right: playtime is over, let's take our power back!
This was a beautiful video, Lead. From the nature shots in the beginning to the music throughout. I love watching you, because you say what I've been preaching to my friends, family, and (hair) clients for YEARS! I get tired of all the excuses made....smh.
Taking power back
Janette Osborne lets get it back sis ✊🏽❤️
Good to see you doing well my Brother,Man I love Gardening my wife and I are out there all day when we can.I `m Building Raised beds this weekend....YAAAAAA.
This is absolutely necessary for food security.....
Beautiful video! I love how you even spoke about planting leftovers from grocery stores to let it grow back. 👏🏻 People need to start growing their own food again.
Awesome video again lead ..love the sound of the birds and the view of the water .. I think this year gonna change a lot of people ,especially when it comes to gardening..I've planted more this year than ever before on my little balcony..I've even use recycled plastic bottle and use rope to hang it with..and its working perfectly..stay bless and safe everyone ..love from London UK ❤❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
None-ya Business please stay safe and blessed my friend. It was time for a change from the way we were doing things anyway. ( that’s me trying to turn a bad situation into a food thing) 🤷🏽♂️ 😉✌🏽❤️✊🏽
No excuses G... Thank you for get us our mail.... Im still driving city bus and my wife is a respiratory therapist so we out here....... And thank you for the garden info... Im tryna get the same info out🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

The New Orleans Gardener thank you so much sweet lady Linda. I know you got it goin on 🤣🌹❤️🌹✊🏽✌🏽
My first garden on my own: 2 types of tomatoes, greens, cabbage, red and regular mustard kohlrobi green and purple, peppers, kale, lettuce two types, watermelon,t turnips and more to come. I grew up with a garden and thanks to you as the new Orleans Gardener I'm getting back into and I'm enjoying myself. So thanks I appreciate you all.
Maaan, I was in my garden arranging my planter boxes, left the devices in the house & let the birds sing to me, got some seeds in the house growing waiting to be transplanted. My perennial herbs are coming back. You said Play time is over!...maaan I ain't playin😉
Came here to watch a gardening video and, unexpectedly, was given a lot of perspective. Wonderful gardening video! Great free thinker and motivational speaker also 👏👏👏 thank-you, good sir ♥
Palm Sunday = a great day to plant. I hope you have a great day! Your guys have a great set up. ✝️🙏🏽😊☀️🌱
V. DeCoursey ✌🏽❤️🌹😂
Good points. You're right my husband and I are in transportation and we pick up seeds that are grown "organically" all the time. In summary all organically grown means is that the FDA allows less of the chemicals in the non-organic foods. Like Lead said the only way is to grow the bad out like everything else. Thanks Lead you're appreciated.
Not sure how exactly true this is, I haven't researched it myself, but Silver Report Uncut on UA-cam just posted a video on VT big box stores banning the sell of seeds to the general public. Save your seeds!!!! Love the video by the way.
LiveLoveGrow it’s very true! My wife just showed me the same thing!😞
Omg! I'm definitely going to get even more seeds now. This is ridiculous
I heard that too
@@leadfarmer73 Thanks for verifying! I watched the video and bought seeds that I don't currently own from little shop of seeds right after. They're 55 cents per pack! Again, thanks for verifying that piece of Intel.
@@monikas5125 Crazy huh?
Man brotha there's nothing like walking and listening to nature but there is always beauty in the world. The greatest reward is to plant a seed watching the outcome. Putting something back in nature, GODS WORK.
I agree, this is the time to take preparedness seriously....cause eventually the time will come where millions will be left to fin for themselves. No stimulus, no food banks, no food stamps, and no convenience of a grocery store!
Don't be sooo hopeless....my goodness....have some faith....don't be so dreadful ...thank you❤️
@@curiousone4757 I have faith, and I know that without works it would be dead. You'll be one of those who'll be plotting on how to go take somebody else's stuff, cause you had hope & faith, but didn't do a damn thing to prepare for what's going to come! And did you address leadfarmer73? Cause he said "Play time is over." What do you think he's talking about??
Watching this made me a little emotional. You seem to be frustrated in the most positive way. I didn't skip any ads to show my support. Love from the BX, NYC
Hey Leadfarmer73!! Hope you guys are being safe out there!
Shirley Fretty doing our best thank you. I hope you guys are doing the same.✌🏽❤️🌹
❤
Dude that was so beautiful I just sat here and cried.. Thank you so much for sharing such a magical moment with all of us. Peace and much love to all, from Alabama 💜💜💜
Thank you for all your inspiration many Blessings to you and your Queen 🙌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
Nancy Jackson thank you little Queen 👑 ✌🏽❤️✊🏽
I feel so blessed I found your video. I'm very picky about who I listen to and as I've gotten older I've come to know that the wisest man is the one that admits , " I don't know." Thank you, great video.
May God always Bless you
keith shumaker May the lord always bless you as well my brother. ✊🏽❤️✌🏽
Your site is beautiful! I appreciate your integration with Nature, because you are in tune with the finer things of life. God bless you.
I found volunteered potatoe sprouts in an old bed there already coming up I’m soooooo happyyyyyyyy I don’t care if I don’t have a better homes and garden I’m trying to eat and eat welllllll 😊
Thank you. Been doing garden for years in my backyard. Now everybody wants to learn how to do it. It puzzles me how much time has been wasted not growing your own food in your own backyard. Also, not counting the money you would save.
MANNNNNNN......THAT IS SO SOOTHING, I MISS THAT. I COULD SIT AND LISTEN ALL DAY!!!💝💝💝💝
Thanks so much Lead for this vital infor of keeping your own seeds ,l was doing that already but people saw me as too poor to buy to buy new seeds ,l don't buy new seeds anymore ,even mealies l keep some for planting
What fruits and veggies will grow well in little sunlight? Thanks so much!
Roses & Peonies look up low light veggies for your area. I know lettuce and kale 🥬 will grow anywhere in shade.
@@leadfarmer73 thanks so much! I am really enjoying your channel! Take care! From SF, California
Now That's How You Do It Take Your Power Back! I've Been Planting and recycling all my seeds from apples,oranges,peaches potatoes I'm so happy watching it form into a Beautiful Harvest Thank You!
I come from a family a farmers in the DR and I've always wanted to plant stuff here but never had the time or space. I still don't have the space but with this situation were are in right now I've stared my own in door little garden. For now I'm just starting with carrots, tomatoes, lemons, and some Sunflowers (because these are my mother's favorite flowers). This was all very informative. Keep up the good work!
Hey, I have some good news for you. While all of these break down, you can still have fresh veggies overwinter and into spring. Plant some spinach, lettuce, swiss chard, kale, collards, and possible Brussel sprouts in large quantities, and you can eat all winter and spring. You can also do asparagus berries and strawberries.
If you want to grow more food from grocery stores, green onions, celery, leeks, and potatoes work the best.
Lead fyi: someone on a Dutch gardening vlog promoted bananawater. I laughed so hard and thought of you. Happy gardening.
Hi. I’m new to your channel and I’m new to my first garden just got it started. I realize it’s a little late but I see is the opportunity of a space when I had to have a dead tree removed. Boy was that a job killing that ground up with all the roots but we got it done. Anyway maybe you already have but can you do a video showing the seeds or how to get the seeds from all the different types of plants? And should they be left in the ground or potted and set aside?
Nice👍🏾 I got seeds in pots, tubs, cut off milk cartons, you name it. Waiting on my zone 5a gardens last frost date May 15. Uugghh
Garden in Eden I’ve done the same. Things are coming up now in zone 6. Happy you are one day closer. 👏🏽☀️🌱
Garden in Eden great job. That’s how you start. I can’t wait to see it. I know you can’t wait to get the frost date out of the way.😂
the man didn't even take his uniform off now thats dedication... i cant wait to start my garden waiting for the temp to break here in NJ about 2 more weeks
As a wife of a city carrier, you and him show the best products of the USPS! Keep doing your thang sir!
Monica Jackson thank you Queen 👑✌🏽❤️✊🏽
Wow what a stunning video. Thanks for sharing.

i remember in my youth , we had a 1/2 acre farm in our back yard , Then the Gov out law it . We the people just need to take back our right to grow our own gardens again
How can we get lessons my son wants to start us a garden but doesn’t have a clue even though I grew up with all this ( my Daddy always had a 5 acre garden )
UA-cam of course
@@wmc3260 --Thats how i started!
I would sit there majority of the day and watch the beauty of nature. I have seeds that I'm going to plant. I live in an apartment, I have a balcony . I am going to buy a bigger pot for my cabbage, squash and kale. I bought my seeds after watching one of your videos. 🙂
I'm going to try something. I do like Mustard greens, the Curly ones.
But I need to start a easy veggie.
I'm in a Studio. And thank you once again for your Awesome Videos.
God Bless.
Newbie Here - Do you pick those seed pods and cut them open or just pick them and plant the entire pod. Also, when are the pods ready to be picked. Thanks.
I am beyond proud of myself for just starting a few weeks ago. I live in military housing in VA so all of my babies are in planters. My kids love getting out on our garden!
Mr.Lead like I said before I have been binge watching your videos and oh man you keep me entertain!!! 😂
You and Mrs. Lead stay safe and please keep bringing us more content! ❤️
My My Stylez 85 you wait till you start eating from your garden you are going to feel so proud. I love the fact that what i pant id good, and free

I just started my garden again this year but I would like to know what do you use to keep the bugs from eating up your leaves
I can't find no beauty in the beavers...those suckers work furiously all nite long....every night they damn up the pond...and everyday...the kids have to undamn it😰
Mm Mm nobody knows like I know that you are telling the truth. But right now my friend it’s hard to be enemies with anything or anybody right about now. We are in a mess. I don’t care for their destruction either but I respect them. Very smart little monsters😂 just trying to find the food in things that rub me the wrong way that’s all.✌🏽❤️✊🏽
I sTART my container garden because of you.
Amen to finding beauty and beauty in no matter what your garden looks like. We did much work today in our garden. Saw some issues and didn't beat ourselves up! We made discoveries, repairs, and maintained. All with an excited and joyful mood. Gardening is beautiful and healing. No longer disappointed at the hiccups, but always getting better and improving. Blessings Lead and family!
Main Course Encouragement no garden is perfect. That’s just the part most font show. 🤣😂🤣 because I have plenty of disaster areas on my land. 😂🤣 no worries though. Still gotta keep on pushing up food though. Can’t let a little mess stop us now.😂🤣✌🏽✊🏽
@4:34 Grow your OWN.....EAT YOUR OWN.....YES i hear you.....thank you! I RESPECT you and the TRUTH you Say...i HEAR you! AND i thank you!!

I started my tomato plants from seed February 19th but they are light green can someone tell me if I should be worried? If its something I can fix please help?!
ozzyc1013 are they really long and thin?
Maybe to much water or not enough light
@@leadfarmer73 they seem to be progressing but they don't look like yours
@@monikas5125 can I stop watering them for a bit to bring it back?
ozzyc1013 yes give it a try
Love your attitude and message. I've been gardening for years; took a year off and hitting it hard again this year. Here in FL we're fully stocked in the big box nurseries, but...I aim to do exactly what you spoke about. Thanks and blessings; keep up the good work. You have a new subscriber! Jim
Started my seeds. Most High willing they will produce even with a shaded patio.
