I learn so much from every video - so glad people like you are willing to share and teach!

Aww, I'm so happy to pass along what's working for me in hopes that it'll help others! Appreciate you! Thanks for touring the garden!

[@teresaholland4790]

You have such a lovely, delightful presentation and admit to not being one of those snotty perfect fake gardening people plus you actually do it. I’m very impressed.

[@GreenGrammy]

I am addicted to your videos. I am a single lady living on a small area of land. I didn't know how I was going to grow all I wanted to with a small space. Voila, Becoming a farm girl, and stackable gardening. This is going to save me hundreds in groceries and improve my diet. I am so excited. Thank you so much.

[@majoragooden4424]

Wow! That is all. Wow!

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

Goodness, it is amazing what you are growing in those greenstalks! I can’t believe how full and lush they look already. Nice job Cassandra, you’re amazing.

[@user-de1wg5sn3o]

This is actually very impressive not to mention beautiful ❤️

[@zenobia328]

Such a beautiful garden. You definitely have a green thumb, everything looks amazing.😊

[@melissaford7624]

Your videos are not only the BEST instructions for using a greenstalk I've found, & boy have I watched a lot of different ones, but they are such a pleasure to watch with your upbeat & positive personality! Thank you

[@cheddarcheese089]

Thank you so much for being an inspiration to everyone who comes across this gem of a channel. Keep on shining, Cassandra.

[@NashRambler]

Until you grow some food, you’ll never know how much better they taste than what you buy at the store.

[@Debbie-bg3mo]

You are so dang cute. My husband and I are seniors and are having to back off some from our "big" gardening. I've been keeping up with what we managed to get planted due to my husband's health issues. I'm not ready to quit gardening. The food is too good. This gives me hope that I can still keep growing good food as I age.

[@donnamullins2089]

Oh Cassandra I am impressed. Just beautiful. So proud of you. Take care and have a great week.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Donna! Lady, you encourage my heart so well! Thank you!!

[@darleenwilcox9166]

Thanks for getting that fixed. I am 63 and thought it was something I was doing wrong! Love your channel.

You were the reason I purchased my Greenstalk. I just harvest some spinach, cilantro, oregano. and thyme. Thank you for teaching and sharing! 🤍🤍

[@pamelacooley6457]

I love your channel so very much. You are not a beginner anymore 😂❤

[@agreenerme3372]

I have been fighting groundhogs and squirrels for the last 2 years and it gets discouraging so when I look at your videos its so inspiring I have 2 Green Stalks and about 8 raised beds but I just wanted to say thanks....

[@pambrown5401]

Yes…..she doesn’t deal with the animals that will devour your garden. I also live in zone 9 which brings the heat.

[@insertnamehereplease4975]

I have had good luck this year by putting lots of wooden toothpicks and barbecue skewers in my planters and garden. Squirrels don't like all the pointiness. Cinnamon and pepper also deter them. Bits of Irish Spring soap on skewers helps. This year, I'm just using loads of skewers, sticks and toothpicks. Anything pointy works including forks.

[@titochineke1236]

It's a simple thing. Set a trap for them and turn them to barbecue. That's simple

[@relaxwithchi4058]

​@@insertnamehereplease4975I don't have a garden yet.when I eventually grow plants. I will always remember and practice this .thank you for sharing

[@verucabeckwith3014]

Cassandra, I am SO hyped for this video. I just purchased my first Green Stalk! I can't wait to watch this video and be inspired!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hey lady! Congrats on becoming a Green Stalk gardener. Keep me posted on your progress. If you haven't already, you may enjoy some of the recommendations I share here: marvelous-thinker-7971.ck.page/56762927df

[@feleciaredd5625]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much. I am two years in my two towers and I have had one fail after another. Your videos are so incredibly helpful. I am scheduled to attend a class on amending soil, soil I have left in my GS for two years, with no mulch, so it's been exposed to severe heat and cold snowy winters at least twice. I think I may cancel that class and have your videos be my garden coach. Your towers are beautiful and lush with the flowers at the top. And thank you so much for the great printables. I am a visual learner, and the illustrations of the towers and what goes with what really bless me. I have wanted to buy another tower, but without any justification, since I have had no real good success in the two that I currently have outside in my yard. You have given me so incredibly much in this one video and your amazing wisdom and gifted communication skills, I am going to make my husband proud, finally, when I have a good harvest following your recommendations! And may just buy not one, but two more towers!!! Thanks again, I could cry I am so grateful to God for coming across your video. I have been subscribed since I purchased my first GS, but I haven't really seen an videos. This was not a coincidence! You are my coach now, and I am so appreciative. Bless you Homestead Coach Farm Girl!😊 Shalom!

[@regenerativelifewayne]

You are 💯% right you don't need lots of land and debt to grow food ! Am building 5 new aquaponics farms 🚜 right in my backyard in 5 new greenhouses going up soon all powered by solar your food forest is beautiful

[@garlicgirl3149]

Wow!

[@bekinddogoodeatplants]

No one (that I’m aware of) has a full video is dismantling and refreshing - that would be a good one to share! Thx for all of your tips and tricks a very inspiring! 🙂

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Love this idea! I'll work on that!

[@julsmei8128]

@rootsandrefugefarm does. There's a couple on container gardening and details about soil health explained really well

[@coral0991]

Dwarf Roses are genius! I would have never thought to try that. Thanks for sharing!

[@tristaperkins7112]

Good to see ya, sis! I'm always blown away at how much you grow on your deck!

[@lynS504]

This is an awesome video for someone who desires to start planting, and I also don't have land. I live in a duplex so I appreciate you creating this video.

[@nikimyrie7981]

Absolutely amazing! Thumbs up girl!

[@mamasuki]

You inspired me to jump into GreenStalk gardening last year. A first-timer at 57 y/o … made many mistakes but am hooked! Thanks for another great vertical growing vid.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hey lady! It's so good to 'see' you! I'm so happy to hear you took (and are loving) the GreenStalk plunge! Thank you for the update!

[@krystalgarcia3397]

I just saw your video pop up on my feed and I squealed 😂 Love you girl!

[@dancnluc1]

I love it. I have 2 greenstalks that I purchased last year. My oldest son and his wife are buying their first home - a condo. He loves to cook. I told him he should think about greenstalks - he wants to grow peppers. I tried to talk my daughter into it. Right now, she is trying to grow flowers. She says I do not have a green thumb. Maybe in time, esp now that they have it in her color - pink.

[@Mylittleveganhomestead]

I love how your deck is organized❤

[@LKB1shot]

Omg I think your my sister! We are exactly the same! Growing & canning everything & making great uses out of so much!! Your awesome!

[@destinyarnold7836]

You should totally start a strawberry tower!

[@geniceH]

You are amazing to me. Thank you for all you do!

[@debradieckman3846]

This was a GREAT video...slow enough to actually see what you have planted! Thank you! And thank you for the guide too! You are the one that got me to ask for a GreenStalk for mother's day, which I got as a gift!

[@diasporaconnecttanzania3521]

Absolutely beautiful! What an inspiration sis!

[@LizaBertha-bs7yz]

This is unbelievable! 🤯

[@simayahbatyahweh5006]

This is absolutely amazing. No one has an excuse not to grow their own food

[@MsTAAlex]

Those are gorgeous Cassandra. I bit the bullet bought two hydroponic garden sets for my city apartment. You got to start somewhere but I got some container seeds from Renee's. Thanks for being consistent in educating us.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hey lady! Wait, you went hydroponic?! I'm so curious about those videos when I watch them. What's your experience been like so far? What brand did you go with?

[@RocknRollDina]

I look forward to your videos all the time.Thank you

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Aww, thank you sweet friend!

[@chiefstandingkibull8145]

You are such an inspiration. Thank you 💚🔥 I am looking forward to following your lead. Awesome awesome👏🏿

[@CTR6067]

I always grow flowers on my top rows. I never thought of mini rises. Brilliant!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

I have so enjoyed the mini roses! I'm telling you, given the dwarf varieties available now, I don't feel like my garden is missing out on growing "what the big gardens" can! Those roses really are stunning.

[@sheilawilliams6282]

I really like the tip about planting the root part of your green onions and regrowing. I have done this also and the over winter and grow again in the spring. I live in Canada and I’m in a growing hardiness zone 5.

[@honeyebby]

OMG I love your deck! Im still trying to figure out how to set mine up to where my pots are not all over the place. I absolutely love sitting out back and sipping coffee in the mornings.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Aww, thank you. I was so happy that this year my neighbor Stan also wanted to start a GreenStalk garden :)

[@carmenmendez6836]

Great healthy garden! I'll have to try the vertical garden! One tip I saw on Utube, once u behead ur roses take those heads and plant them upside down (where the rose grew down in the dirt) and u'll soon have new rose plants! You got a good green thumb, let us know how it went! Thanks for the tips! ❤

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Wait, what? I'll have to try that-thanks for sharing. I'm glad you think I have a green thumb-lol. Vertical planting certainly gives you an advantage when it comes to dealing with fewer pests and actually being able to more easily spot check your garden- I don't know where I'd be without them!

[@susanhutton7563]

I have to say you totally inspired me! It is so hot and dry here I am trying your method. I have filled my many pots up with dirt and will start planting them. More shade and much cooler on my porch. I think it just about too hot out in the bright sun! Thank you so much!

“Intermediate gardener” pshh!!😂 gurllllll ur a genius gardener already!! I’m going on two decades of gardening and I can tell you when I was “intermediate” I was nowhere near you!! By the time you have a farm it will all be second nature and u can have the time to learn your animals!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 So smart. Also - gardening in pots in my opinion is much more difficult bc u don’t have the forgiving ground soil when u mess up!! Lol. Very very impressive!! ✨👏🏼✨👏🏼✨👏🏼✨👏🏼🌱🌱🌱🌱❣️

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Awww, this is incredibly kind of you!!! And yes, you're on to my "master plan" (which is to slowly build homesteading skills I can leverage on our small homestead one day). For the very reason you named (heck, even a few more), I too learned that gardening in pots isn't ideal for everyone. Your message was too encouraging!!! Thank you!!

[@Blessedbylovingkindness]

Thank you so much for this video, I do have a deck garden and have things in pots and grow bags which take up space on my deck would love to learn this method.❤

Greetings Cassandra!!! You have inspired me a ton! I just received my GreenStalk planter in Pink! My favorite color! I’m excited and a little nervous at the same time. I live in Phoenix Arizona and my balcony faces West. So I’m a little skeptical on what to plant that won’t shrivel up and die in a 118 degree weather!!! Hot😮 May anyone of please share pointer tips on what plant in Arizona hot weather 😢😅 @Cassandra! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR DREAM WITH US ALL. You are heaven sent and inspiring others to turn Dreams into reality ❤

[@diannadavis1362]

.I grow lots of things in 5 gallon food grade pickle buckets that a friend who works at a restaurant saved me. Just drill drain holes in the bottom of the buckets and they are perfect to grow tomatoes, squash, zucchini , or anything youd grow in square foot gardening. Grow bags are also a great option for deck , porch , terrace or rooftop gardening , I have successfully grown potatoes and sweet potatoes in them. Sweet potato leaves are great sautéd o slow cooked like greens or in salads when young and tender. I also have potted fig , meyer lemon and key lime trees that produce fruit in zone 7

[@Cheriesgardenvegplot]

There's nothing nicer than home grown fresh picked veg. Loved your tour.

[@katescaringcorner6765]

Oh man! This video gives me the major gimme-gimme-want-wants! How exciting! I’m loving this! Never even fathomed that things like broccoli and cabbage can be grown in the GreenStalk! I’m not sure if you (or your followers) know. But marigolds are actually great for detouring such pesky summer insects like mosquitos and no-see’ems. Learned it from one of my octogenarian clients that would cover his camp deck with pots and pots of them. He would deadhead them and gift them at Christmas time. ❤

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

I had no ideas about the benefits of marigold! Thanks for taking the time to share this with me and others. And yes, there's hardly anything I wouldn't grow in a GreenStalk!

[@karenlombardi8242]

I just refreshed all my Greenstalk tiers today and loaded them all up with lettuces, flowers and herbs. I never thought of “pocket-sharing” … that’s game changing. Do you direct sow or seed starts in plugs? Absolutely beautiful food forest! I’m setting up my 2nd one this weekend, and now so inspired to add vines and deeper and taller growing veg!

New sub here! I’m impressed and jealous in a good way to see how amazing you have done in one video! This is definitely my aspiration to create my own garden in the lanai. Sadly that Florida sun is a scorcher. I have learned though. I even have my own fig tree and it has a little fig growing. After 2 years banging it. Thank you that you made it possible which makes me know I can do it. Just gotta be patient.
