Watch This Before You Make Compost to See What Can be Used to Turned into Garden Soil Container
I am so excited. Today, I saw my first hummingbird this year. After 6 weeks of putting out feeders and changing them out every few days, my determination finally paid off. I am so excited. Northeast Missouri, 2 hours north of St. Louis. May 1, 2023
Me too! I've had mine out for about a month. The tracker was tracking early. Last year my first male was on April 28th. Today was a female.
@@The_Remnant86 that's awesome. Enjoy
I'm still waiting 😢! It's May 2nd, and it's snowing here. But I did see one oriole. So I have hope!
@Jean I hope you see them soon. It has been a very cold and high winds spring so far here. They arrived about 3 weeks later than normal.
@@graceinthegarden9151 Hi Grace! We still have very cold weather here. But I've been watching the hummingbird migration map, and they are only 1 hour away from us. If it's warmer there I don't expect to see them till the weekend.
The dead papaya trunk would work well for filling your large new metal planter, if Gary can chop it up into pieces before you want to plant in it! 🌿🌿🌿😃
You are just terrific!!! I wish I lived next door to you. You have so many great ideals. Love your channel. Thank you for sharing.
I keep looking for some cast away chairs 😂😂😂😊❤
On big trash day drive around your neighborhood @red-brace2137
After you fertilize the females eat the male flowers : make a batter of flour, salt , water & egg mix together ; add a stick of mozzarella inside male flower after pulling out the stamen stuff - shallow fry til golden brown - a real treat!😊
We'll be having our 1st 70s temps this week, possibly even 80F...still going to be too chilled at night though till June. I'm hoping all my tomato seedlings will get bigger with these warmer temps. They've stayed alive, but just like the dogs & I...they want to bask outdoors. I only planted 1 zucchini inside about 5 wks. ago. It's about the size its Mum was last season when I purchased her. I chanced growing it way too early, but anyone that gardens knows...it's how we learn what works. The only tomato seeds that aren't doing well for me are those I saved from my very productive Early Girl. It sucks because I'd planned to give them away to our local food pantry so they could hand them out to struggling families. The Mum plant did so well last season that I gave away much of the harvest to our pantry. Supporting our town's pantry is very important to me. I'm hoping some volunteers will take advantage of my offer for garden space in exchange for helping me keep the garden going on my most agonizing days. This is the 1st town I've lived in whose food pantry doesn't have property for a community garden. I don't have a lot of $, but I have a very sunny backyard full of earthworms. I don't know what you do with your extra seedlings, so if your area has a community garden...perhaps your local pantry would be grateful in receiving them. Take care, ~ Covah
I took your advice and removed plants from my containers . I did exactly what you said not to do. Filled them with 6 plants. So now 1 plant with containers all around. Thank you for helping us beginners ❤
I grow a lot of papayas, just cover the top of cut with a can or bucket without holes; new shoots will sprout on trunk….
Lol I can't remember anything... but I'm getting better from watching you Gardners and I am in San Bernardino foothills so I pay close attention to your advise. Tx
Hello everyone from 9b FL! 👋🤗👍
Good morning! May 2nd in Malaysia... always looking forward a long video from Robbie so i can sit longer while enjoying my breakfast 😊
The geraniums are outstandingly gorgeous❤
Without deer fencing, I think you will have problems. I have a garden at the edge of a thick forest, plenty of deer. We will be putting up deer fencing soon, but in the meantime I use pinwheels. You can buy these from the Dollar Tree centers and have placed them in my tubs.
This is a temporary fix, but it does seem to work. Have not had any deer problems since we put them up so far at least. I use large ones and the shiny ones placed among the plants where they can catch even the slightest of breezes. Flags work as well.
Nice garden tour. What is a tree collard. Never heard of them. What do you use them for
I love the rose scented geranium and have gradually been integrating veggies plantings with perennial flowers and herbs. I am not sure but it seems to me that this mixing of strong smelling herbs & flowers with veggie crops discourages (confuses) pests (like cabbage moth) or other problem bugs. That is the theory any way and I do have fewer problems.
Glad I stumbled across your channel. Your videos make me happy 🙏🏼🤗 God Bless
Howdy, Robbie!👋 Really nice garden tour. You are doing so well getting to all your gardens.👍
Make mini greenhouses for your watermelon sprouts...put a plastic jug over them. It works great.😃
Y'all have made a beautiful edible landscape! 👍Hello to Miss Kitty!👋💕
Hi Robbie :) Happy May, I have walking onions all over my garden. Its fantastic ! Thanks to you.
I saw a Carpenter Bee yesterday in my garden. Thanks for all your good content.
Peace and Love
How wonderful 😊 I so love walking onions they are one of my favorite onions, I think you’ll love them too. And I like carpenter bees too specially the ones we have here. Thank you so much.
Whatever do you do with all the zucchini that you grow?
I live in an Australian small town Robbie and my Father in law was a small child in early 1900s. He said that when he was a child the farmers always planted the tomatoes and let them run along the ground. So guess that’s how they grew them back then I don’t know if they put hay under them or not.
Happy May 1st Everyone
Robbie your garden is looking beautiful, I love the geranium, and I'm excited to see what you plant in your container.
Good afternoon Robbie 😊 😊
Hey Robbie, I know you know what yer doing, but bcuz it's staying cold, couldn't you drape the rolls of clear plastic over the tubing to make like a greenhouse? Used to be $7 for a 25ft roll at Walmart but now like $20 a roll I think. Husky brand. I'm not talking covering all of your entire massive garden areas, just certain plants you want to protect from the wet and cold.
Just a heads up... Don't let plastic come in contact with plants if threat of frost is expected. It might actually cause the plant to freeze. You can drape plastic over newspaper or sheets as long as it doesn't touch.
Thought of you this evening when I took my carrot scraps from dinner and coffee grounds out back to one of my beds. Tossed them out..looked at a potted fig that I plan on planting in that spot and put the pot on the scraps! 😆 Been learning from you for around 5 years now, thanks so much!
I've been cleaning up my garden area and found a tomato plant from last year! I'm in 7b. It's been in the 20's at night and down in the teens this winter. It was in a grow bag half full of soil and compost. I'll be using more bags this fall.
My mom lives in 6b. The tomatoes are coming up every year for her these past couple of years! Pretty cool! But she's a Virgo and not having garden rows works on her nerves 🤣🤷♀️
Can you eat those collards off that huge tree!? Whow❣️
I have noticed that there are couple things you don't seem to be growing that I thought would do well in your area.. petunias. I can't seem to get them to germinate - yet and they were one of my mom's favorite. A couple of roots, jicama and celeriac... summer and winter maybe? and roses.
Good idea re getting lots of male squash flowers! Thank you
I grew some potatoes in a cardboard box, last year. The bottom rotted out, as expected, but a gopher dug up from underneath, and ate the potatoes. 😄 Haha
@snowbirdgardener6 put a piece of screen or cheap chicken wire on the bottom of your box before filling it. I like screen because you can cut it with scissors ✂️ rather than wire cutters
Lay some hardware under your box next time to help prevent the gopher from snatching your potatoes
I think a raccoon came by last night and tried to get into my 2 'compost in place' pitchers!! It's a tall, skinny rectangular one with a flip lid. Both the lids were up, but not off! Maybe my container was deep enough the little bugger couldn't reach the bottom! I placed them in a galvanized trough that is about 30 inches high. It's an old livestock watering trough. Oh God please! NO raccoons! The bug pests are enough.
Yep he probably couldn’t reach the food. @samsdaughterdehaven9990
New to your channel and just wondering how do you water all those containers and how often?
LOl..I remember back when you said you hated geraniums!😂
Pelargoniums are related to geraniums but don’t have the nasty ( to me) smell😊
I am probably going to have to go back and see how you do this, but the way you layer pots in totes is mind blowing. I am definitely wondering how you water everything, and how long it takes you to do it.
I am just starting my first garden, and have a lot to learn.
Love the chair garden
Only discovered you yesterday and am thoroughly enjoying your videos BUT! may I say in all kindness?? You are totally out of control!! 🤣🤣
Looks like your retaining wall as you go around the corner into the secret garden is begining to give way!
Wow and wow on that huge dragon fruit!
All your geraniums are beautiful. Makes a big difference in the way your yard looks. I love seeing all the new babies starting to take off. I'm trying to add more flowers to my beds this year.
I failed at getting my onion seeds to grow😢, I’m gonna buy some walking onions and try them out…
Love you guys ♡ hugs for great sharing experiences
Good afternoon Robbie, I have been busy transplanting my zinnia sprouts here in Yacolt Washington ,we had a couple of 70 plus degrees, Now back in the 50's for the next couple of weeks, ugh
Robbie I was so excited today my garden center had pineapple sage. The hummingbirds love it...yea
Sounds great! ❤️❤️❤️
Zucchini can also be sweet have you ever heard of zucchini pineapple jam?
My husband and I, b4 he died, made a sweet zucchini relish. Omg, so delish!
Recipe?😊
@@arthuurwong49 Take 6 cups peeled and grated zucchini and cook on a low boil for 15 minutes. Then add 6 cups of sugar, 1 medium can crushed pineapple and 1/2 cup of lemon juice. Boil for an additional 15 minutes and then can it like jelly. Oh so yummy!
@@babetteisinthegarden6920 Thank you!😊
You are so inspirational
That is absolutely gorgeous Robbie🥰
The nerstershums are gorgeous 🥰🥰
Hey Robbie 🥰
I recently purchased a new mint. Ricola Mint , it smells amazing ! Can't wait to use it.
Heard about it, really nice, never got one yet. Cool!
I saw my first hummingbird today! It's finally time, everyone!! Weird though, normally I see a male ruby throat first. This year, a female was first. Although it's been chilly, I haven't been watching my feeders like a hawk. I also spotted a rose breasted grosbeak. That's a first at my feeders. Woohooo!
Thanks for your videos & tips. I'm in zone 8 Washington state. For the first time I've started lettuce & kale. I've rewatched some of your seed-starting tip videos to help me.
I've also started a chayote squash inside & now the temps are just about right to move it outside, set up more supports for it & hope it will produce the fruit in a couple of months. Do you or Gary have any experience with growing chayote or various ways to eat/prepare it? I'm trying to learn as much as I can.
Thank you again for sharing your experiences.
Keto people use it alot to mimic apples. You peel it, cube it. Boil it (can use 2-3 apple tea bags in the water) until tender. Then use similar to apples for pie filling, etc.
I keep buying them + forgetting I have them. I may try to grow them as well. I'm in West Tx. It is very dry here. I'll have to stay on top of watering everything I plant. Good luck!
Sweet!!! I bought the same drink~ Container ( with gray lid )
at the Dollar Store for my compost and put it in one of my big planting containers.
Be careful of the plastic chair. The legs will give way 1st. With the sunny, rain, snow, strong wind it wears out real fast. For short term use but stackable, lightweight, trash bag holder & barricade.
Love the tree trunk display.
Thanks great video ❤
Thank you 😊
Some parts looks like a Garden of Eve and some need some cleaning…mine looks similar..I been at it for 2 day’s cleaning things up .,plus doing
Some succession growing ..🌱🌱🌱..
Maybe build a small wall or terrance the hill to keep the soil in place when those crazze rains come through
Robbie has a video that she freeze some, and she share a lot of them .
Would you consider selling me some walking onion seeds. I haven’t been able to find any here in Georgia. I really enjoy your show, your tips and tricks are very helpful.
I needed to see your videos First video I saw of your was introducing with the container gardening video on only one plant per pot. You mentioned walking onions-do you think they would do good in flip flop weather and fur coats all in on day-NC? Would you be willing to send me a few of the walking onion seeds?🤗
Thank you for your knowledge I’m a first time gardener.🤦♀️👋
Wow… you have a Beautiful huge yard in beautiful Cali😊
Waiting for the "behind the curtain" reveal.
Sooo excited!! Also. soil, I love soil.
Robbie. I just started watching your covid vids. Wow. I felt the same way you did. But we won. Love you❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope uou show us some zucchini recipes.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Robbie ❣️❣️❣️❣️ Love you! Ihave so much work but I watch every single video you make 🌟 Your gardens are full of life and food! You are doing awesome job ❤️👏🌻
Maria, thank you AGAIN for a Super Thanks! You are amazing. I love that you enjoy the videos, and kind words are so needed here right now… Again thank you for another Super Thanks and you are like a good friend ❤️ more then you know 💕 You take care
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy I feel the same way for you and Gary ✨ 💖
Robbie, I read where you can cook your collard seed pods like beans.
Can you please answer a question alot of us have! What breed of black chickens do you have?
You can eat the male zucchini flowers after you take the pollen off - remove the flowers, remove & wash the flowers, remove the stamens, fill with a strip of mozzarella cheese, twist flower closed, make a thick batter with an egg, salt & pepper flour - dip flour & shallow fry in 1/2 “ oil yum- cheesy edible flower😊
just wondering how much acreage you have & how much of it is garden? thanks!!
I love how creative you are with your garden! It's amazing too how some of these plants you forgot about are still thriving. I live in Georgia and have only spots of sun in my front and back yards because of the trees, so I don't know if mine will do as well. I have some Rosemary that has been drying up despite my watering it well, so I'm not sure what's wrong. My Basil is doing well in the same bed.
Thank you for the garden tour. Really getting me in gardening mode. We have had crazy weather here in NE Oklahoma the last 2 years. Im hoping tomorrow night is our last frost for the season. They have also put us on water rationing, with Friday being our day to water. Any tips for drought would be appreciated. 💗
I think I need a melons for dummies video: what size plant to maintain, supporting melon, how much to keep soil moist...
I have my totes on chairs. Do I really need plastic fencing for the leaves to climb on?
The Minnesota Midget is super easy to grow and very productive.
I have never been a big squash lover & particularly not zucchini. What in the world do you do with the amount of zucchini you grow & how do you prepare it so it is pleasant to eat? I love all of your videos & have learned so much about your method of planting. I recently purchased 2 hummingbird feeders & filled them with your nectar recipe but haven’t seen any hummingbirds attracted to them. Vancouver, WA
Curious, ro you have a video on how you keep all these containers watered properly? Do theyy not ever dry out? If you do have a video, please drop the title of the video if you recall which one. Im in the process of trying to binge watch but you have lots of videos full of great info I know I will be watching for many weeks! Thank you
Loving your channel, thank you! How do you water everything though? I currently use watering cans and it already takes an age with plants on the ground. I have 1000 rainwater tanks but there isn’t enough pressure to run a hose pipe. Any suggestions 🥰
Where do you get the walking onions? I've never heard of them before!
I used to live in So. California and just about anything grows. I miss the night blooming Jasmine. It won’t grow here in So. Arkansas, it’s zone 8. 😢😢😢
HOW IS THAT PAPAYA GROWING in that little tote?
How do you root purple tree collard???
Another great video, Robbie. What variety of lettuce do you grow that is more heat tolerant than some other varieties? I'd like to get myself some.
All I know is they called it Romaine Lettuce, planted once and now the seeds regrow all year. I grow them different as the season changes, sun or shade
Do you use tge sorrel in your compost? I bought green and red got confused with comfrey so now i dont know what to do with them i dont juice i havent even started them yet. Im just way behind on my garden this year. Moving foward i got to see how all your stuff is looking and it looks great.
❤
Hi Robbie, I watch you all the time and I’m curious. Just saw you go to front yard and Gary has a garden somewhere else. How many acres do you have??
Do you Dehydrate?..I’m gonna go get me a dehydrator and start for my parsley 🌿
HoW often u water ur plants in ur containers
No answer
Robbie what are you going to do with the male yellow bloom?
Where did you find those small trellises? ty
Did you put holes in the bottom of the metal trough?
Do the plants have female and males on one plant or can they have both on one plant. I am growing some this year and never don't know much about them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I hope you have a wonderful week.
Some cucumbers have both male and female flowers, some cucumbers have only female flowers. Tomatoes have male and female parts in the same flower. If you grow indoors, you must manually pollinate by tapping the tomato flowers gently and using a tiny brush to take pollen from male cucumber flowers to female cucumber flowers. If you happen to have a cucumber that only has female flowers, you need another cucumber plant that has both so that they can cross pollinate.
@@MrTalkingzero thank you for sharing your knowledge with me
How do you get tree collards. Just let it grow like that? Or special seeds?
I ordered seeds.
How about a olive tree😃
Sure 😊
I got couple things growing I don't know if it's zuchinni,squash or cucumber..My daughter started and moved quickly..she gave to me..I keep trying to figure out..
Robbie, I'm just one person and eat 1x day. With ALL the food you and Gary grow you've got to have so much extra, that is likely to happen to me! Do you donate to the food bank, give to neighbors, or just compost it? I'm not sure if food banks will accept fresh produce from a home grower.
@synergy2222 NEIGHBORS will love you 😍
Food banks do accept food donations
Where do you get the metal cages I saw protecting some of your plants? They look like maybe there are trash cans turned over?
Dollar store trash wire 😊cans
It’s a huge squash? Put it in soups or stirfrys
Why do you put the flowers in the fridge?
🥰🙏
@Robbie
Vegan meat from zucchini
Please post recipe
Is expert Gardener bad?
I used it to fill my containers
I thought gourds were for decorative purposes only.
You should grow your watermellons in your truck bed
Lots of room in the truck bed.
Lots of room in the truck bed.
Worms eat my walking onions😢
Now I see you are going to fry it..neet.
