[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hello friend! I'm so excited to hear you've started your growing journey! I'm certainly not an expert, but I get so much joy from my small deck garden! The ability to look outside of my window and see homegrown goodness is pure joy to the eyes and tastebuds! The excitement is real!!! Keep me posted on your progress!

Hello there. My wife and I stumbled upon your channel just a few days ago and we have been soaking up all of your information. We have been struggling with coming up with some ideas for maximizing our garden area even though we live on a small farm. Also would like to note you have probably the best dictation and narration abilities out of pretty much all of the youtube channels we follow. Please keep up the good work!

[@dawndarretta8598]

You have the best ideas for recipes but, especially, for using up things that most would normally throw out! Thank you! And, I got a Greenstalk for Mother's Day! Woo-hoo! It was your videos that inspired me to want one.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hi Dawn! I'm so happy to hear you'll be growing with a Green Stalk, too! I (and many others) have had so much success in them and I'm going to keep sharing my tips and tricks for growing food and fertilizing them. What color did you get?!

[@dawndarretta8598]

@@BecomingaFarmGirl Hi! Got the taupe. Liked all the colors but after watching one of your videos & seeing it on your deck, just loved the color. Am in FL so started okra, Asian greens & the like for the summer garden. Will be rocking it in the winter when we grow most of what the north grows in the summer! Keep the awesome videos coming. I pray for your farm/land to be closer than you realize. I get it. We are hoping for the same!! Many blessings to you & your family!

[@bintlooda]

Ur green stock garden is the best I have ever seen on KZbin soooo pretty 😊

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Awww, thank you, friend! I'm a "pocket stuffer" so I've got combinations of herbs, flowers and veggies tucked in a single pocket. While I wait a few more years to afford some land, my Green Stalks have provided a way for me to still have a garden that produces delicious flavors and food for my family! I surely do appreciate your kind words!

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

Congratulations on 100k!!! ❤ You so deserve it!!! You should been at my dinner table last night, we had home grown asparagus and sweet corn with nicely cast iron seared steak! Your garden looks great!

Cassandra, I love your videos! So much useful and actionable information is packed in and before you know it, the video is over. I appreciate the time and effort you put into everything you share. Other folks say a lot but actual information is lacking - luckily, I know I'll learn a bunch whenever a new video of yours comes out. Thank you for sharing!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hello Sialicious! Aww, I'm so happy to hear this! My goal is to both "show and tell" the operations of my kitchen garden and meal prep and I'm happy to hear it resonates with you. I also know that many of us are limited with the time we can watch videos so I try to adhere to the advice of my pastor whenever he preaches, "Be bright, be fun, be brief, be done!"

These planters have truly allowed me to grow as a gardener in ways that I would've had to delay for many more years until we are able to move to a property with land. You can't beat the easy set up, efficient watering, mobility, and reduced pest pressure from a Green Stalk. Keep me posted on your progress!

Hey Misty! 100K is nuts! It's hard to wrap your mind around that, when really I feel like the farm girls I'm meeting here on the channel are the 50-60 'regulars' that I see (like you) through the comments. The biggest blessing is meeting other homestead dreamers that live in apartments, townhouses, or other small spaces like me and are creating "humble homesteads" with what we've got! Thanks for the encouraging words my friend!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hi Lori! Haha, I love my Green Stalks because they have truly been the best solution that has given me hope (and access) to growing as a gardener without land! However, if you already have space a collection of pots and buckets is still a great way to garden and we are still gardening friends either way! I do recommend waiting to catch one of their sales (offered about every 6-8 weeks during the growing season). I'm warning you now, these things are addictive. I was supposed to stop at 3 of them!!!

I had never thought about crisping up the bottom of a pizza crust on the stove before putting it in the oven. Great tip!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hey Trista! Always lovely to see you! Oh yes, if you enjoy the Pizza Hut personal pan pizza crust, "frying" your dough before baking gives it that slight crunch. Here's the recipe I used: bakerbettie.com/homemade-pan-pizza-perfectly-crispy-crust/

So many good ideas! I can’t believe how lush your Greenstalks already look, I’m in the same zone and all of my greens are still micro sized. 😂

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hey Becky! Always lovely to see you! I suspect things look especially good in my Green Stalks this year because the amount of rain and cool temperatures we've had over the past month has been incredible (its rained every weekend for the past month and another 1-2 days per week. There have been a few abnormally hot days, but temps have averaged between 40-65 degrees, perfect for cool season crops). In recent years "true spring" (ya know, the kind where you can leave your windows open and enjoy a cool breeze) has felt like its only lasted a week or two. Each year the garden is different, but I'm so happy to hear you've got it going!

God Bless you and your family !!!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Bev! Awww, this sweet comment has melted my heart and I am so glad that you "get me" (fast talking, crazy excited, the whole nine yards). The canning video you mentioned was truly something I was very nervous to share, but it truly speaks to the core of why canning means so much to me and how it can powerful serve your family and loved ones in ways that aren't talked about much. While we wait a few more years to move to a small homestead, gardening with Green Stalks has allowed to step into my "gardener identity" while still tucked in my townhome and honey I'm just so grateful! The ease of watering, rotating your garden, easily accessing your plants can't be beat. I'd never be able to grow this much if it weren't for my Green Stalks. Friend, I am so happy that you have encouraged my heart today.

[@Niikki284]

New subscriber here and I’ve gotta say you’ve convinced me to purchase the garden towers for my deck. 👍 I do have a few questions to ask about the towers. Are there tomato/cucumber cages specifically for the towers? Also, could I grow Brussel sprouts in the towers? I have a Red cabbage starter plant too and was wondering if it would be too large once it forms the head?

[@bevcaraballo3184]

@@BecomingaFarmGirl Also after watching you talk about all the canning you do it inspired me. I did buy a presto canner (it's out of the box just still scared to use it). My story like so many others : my mom ended up with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on her legs and feet from her canner of beans exploding. She always said it was her fault, but if my Mom who canned all her life can make a mistake ... Just saying.

I'll start to use a shade cloth as the temperatures warm for summer, but so far so good!

The on the stove top method for the pizza and put in the oven on broil is my favorite way to cook pizza.I add a little bit of pizza seasonings in the cast iron pan and then put my dough in.

@@BecomingaFarmGirl Thanks so much, that's terrific! Everybody's Greenstalks always looks like such wonderful and abundant chaos, but I have to believe there's a best way to organize things so that the larger plants get the trellis support they need and nothing gets totally left in the shade.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hello new friend! Thanks for saying hi! I've got several other videos sharing different topics about growing in a Green Stalk (with more to come). It sounds like you and I are in the same boat, but one thing I can tell you is that vertical gardening is the way to maximize growing food in a small space. I pack out these planters and wouldn't be able to grow nearly as much as I am if my only option was pots or buckets. It sounds as if you come from a rich agricultural heritage and are "returning to your roots". I'd love to be able to process my own meats as you godmother did and hopefully that's a skill I'll learn in time. Until then, there is so much joy even with a humble homestead (as I like to call my townhome!). Blessings to you my friend!

Good Morning, Melissa! Haha, sorry to make you so hungry but once the plants in your Green Stalk starts to take off you really will have so many wonderful options to fold into meals. I use a combination of seeds, starts that I've purchased from my local farmers market or grown at home. Give yourself a season or two to figure out what works best for you. I just got two more Green Stalks (don't judge me, lol) and I'm going to do a video exclusively dedicated to my "strategy" behind how/what/what I pack in each pocket to give others some ideas. I'm so glad you've started your Green Stalk garden!

I love your enthusiasm. New subbing for sure.

Oh Casandra your Green Stalks are full and beautiful. I'm going for that pizza dough recipe looks amazing. Lettuce wraps headed to the store for feta and mozzarella. Always have pecans and cranberries. Great snacking items. Texas has had so much great rain my garden is a little slow. Tomatoes filled with blooms and just forming tomatoes. Okra is up, Rattle snake beans, pole bush beans and new for me this year Rise and Shine upright summer yellow squash by Burpee Seed. Thanks for all the tips, tricks and great ideas. Have a great week.

Donna! Always good to see you, love! Sounds like you've got lots of good things growing in your garden already. I just researched the squash variety and learned that its a bushy, 4 inch tall growing squash plant (a compact variety). Keep me posted on how you enjoy it. You can stuff, fry and eat squash blossoms too!

[@donnamullins2089]

@@BecomingaFarmGirl I just needed compact and upright growing. Never met a bad squash. Every seed germinated.

This is a great video. I’m sharing it with my daughters who grow an urban garden!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hello Peggy! Aww, thank you. If your daughters are in the small space or limited with land, they will truly enjoy using vertical gardening as a workaround! Green Stalk planters don't require tools to assemble, they are durable, efficient to water, reduce pest pressure and so much more. I wouldn't be able to learn and enjoy gardening to the extent that I have without these things. I have several videos here on the channel they may find helpful!

Wow. This is very inspiring! I'm in an apartment with a south facing balcony. It never really occurred to me that I could grow that much. Have you ever considered hydroponics? I'm in Wisconsin and have a super demanding job during the cold months (high school teacher--70 hour work weeks, truly). I've been thinking about an aerogarden or something like that to get through the winter. Maybe Gardyn? But it's so expensive.

[@sheilawilliams6282]

Very inspirational. You always have such great ideas. Thank you so much.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Awww, thanks Shelia! Even a small garden contributes immensely to off setting reliance on the grocery store. I'm happy to hear I shared some recipes you might enjoy!

[@lindsayh5209]

These all look amazing! You have inspired me and my gardening endeavors.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hi Lindsay! I'm so happy to hear this! Even a small garden contributes immensely to offsetting your reliance on the grocery store. Happy gardening!

[@elizabethmcgowan9743]

Love this video!! Definitely looking for simple meals that I can harvest from my own yard. Grocery prices are so high. Thank you

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Prices are nuts (and the quantity and quality are only going down). Every time I look at on my deck its the best feeling knowing that I can skip entire sections at the grocery store because I'm growing it right at home! There's so much you can do and enjoy with even a small garden! Glad to hear a few of the recipes might work for you!
