Hubby got me Square foot gardening last week at a half price books. Read it already and love it. I purchased your book 2 months ago. Thank you for that! I've never gardened before. 4 years ago I found out I had cancer. I'm in remission now. It led to hyperthyroidism that began just before Covid hit. Fast forward to 3 months ago to finally get diagnosed. I lost 140#s and I'm feeling so much better with more energy. And I decided that gardening needed to be in my life because nature is amazing and healing. Your videos are always helpful and entertaining as well. I'm looking forward to the spring and getting some raised beds in the backyard. Meanwhile inside I'm doing an herb garden, fig tree from a cutting and looking into a lemon tree and potatoes. I can't tell you how much your videos, and Jacques, have helped me in recovering. Safe distance hugs to y'all from Dallas, TX.

Omg, those cordon(?) steel birdies beds! I love the look of the small ones, but even more excited to see them so large! Also, I know neither of you wear women’s pants, so I will put my two cents in: Dovetail Workwear is an excellent line of work pants for women (also anyone else who fits women’s sizes best) with all the cool pockets and features like Jacques’ pants have. The company was founded by 3 women, 2 of them gardeners/landscapers who couldn’t find women’s work pants with good features and in a high enough quality to last. Excellent not just for farmers and gardeners, but woodworkers, electricians, theatre techs, forest rangers, and even artists, florists, bakers, sewists, and hairstylists who like to wear their gear on their person! Like most women’s pants, their different styles do fit different body types, so have the giftee check them out if you don’t know their preferred fit.) I have 2 pairs, one Maven original and one Maven X, and they are amazing quality to me (plus they have 10 various pockets, a tool loop that stays flat, and spots under the front reinforcement for kneepads).

I also have my son who loves to garden as well. I’m 66 yrs old, so would love the taller birdies bed. Thanks for all you do, I’m learning so much, and addicted to tour channel.

I love me a hand sickle. That thing cuts through a stalk of bananas. I’ve actually used one to take down a banana tree when I didn’t want to go get the sawzall. I’ve used it to cut roots under the ground when removing grass and weeds. Nice for pruning certain plants like when removing dying leaves from Ti plants. They’re super popular tools in Hawai‘I.
@rarsberry28 күн бұрын
My husband and I went to Bunnings yesterday (NZ) and I got a hori hori after seeing it in this video. It's an amazing tool, for cutting out in the garden and for planting seedlings, how did I survive without it! I also found coir mulch which I'm going to try as it's Spring here and the weather is warming up. I've watched so many of your wonderful videos and you always talk about adding mulch so you've convinced me 😊

As a Canadian on a limited income, the idea of the duty free shipping makes me so happy. The exchange rates and extra taxes can really skyrocket the price here for us. Someday I dream of having a few of the Birdie's beds on my balcony so I can retire my old recycled totes!
@marihannah91072 жыл бұрын
I bought the photo organizer box right after I started following you. It's genius! Last year, I ended up buying another one because I expanded my seed storage. Thank you for that tip! I had never heard of a Hori Hori before, then last spring, my husband bought one for me. It's an awesome tool! Mr. Hermit, next I need to try that cobra head tool. 😊
