[@alexandriac6278]

Don’t feel bad for being young, I’m younger than you are and I’m here. I am doing it for those reasons as well but I also think it’ll be cool for my little brothers (4&6) to help water and learn some fun lessons. I remember being their age and my grandmas garden was the coolest thing in the world, I’d like to pass the feeling on. (Also I know it’s still very much winter but I like to be prepared)

[@thelazyside3979]

I’m 16 also and I’ve also been fascinated by grow things and getting the satisfaction of accomplishment when you grow something from scratch, seeing it grow I’m front of you and in the end you are left with something beautiful. I’m also a Army 💜 BTS PAVED THE WAY, stream ON 🥺

[@tedtimmis8135]

Weeding tip from an old timer: Every few days, take 3 minutes to scrape the surface of the soil with a hoe. This will kill most of young weeds and keep them in control.

[@missgloria98]

You won't be able to do this once the plants that you want to keep starting growing. correct?

[@lumiquartz5505]

Most important lesson I’ve learned about gardening: research what you plant before buying it. I planted tulips in a container in Texas. TEXAS. They didn’t even last a month. Don’t make my mistakes. Make sure your plants are suited to your zone, it’s the right time of year, what their sun/water/fertilizer needs are, and what pests and diseases to look out for. You’ll be 100% more equipped to take care of your plants

[@TakeTheRide]

Lol. I did the same thing out by LaGrange. I wonder if any of those hundred bulbs that I planted twenty years ago, or still producing. Lol.

[@SamGamgeeGardner]

Fun fact, dandelion, a common weed, is actually edible. The root can be used to make “cowboy coffee,” and the flowers and the leaves are also edible. Mallow weeds are also edible. And you know those big ferns? Turn the fronds upside down during spring-summer (depends on where you live and what type of fern), and you’ll find sori. Rub the sori on stinging nettle rashes and you’ll relieve the sting for about 5 minutes (takes about 30 seconds for the thing to work).

[@maxedout3292]

After being laid off for a few weeks and the boredom started to kick in, I decided, “hey, I have space to plant things, why not garden? Watching your video gave me some helpful tips. Now I’ve got something to do during the quarantine

thank you! you presented gardening in a very direct, helpful, and detailed way for us beginners to actually understand "STARTING" a garden. too many youtubers make it so confusing. greatly appreciate your content

[@SheerasPlace]

I have been gardening for a few Years and if there is something that can be done the "wrong" way, I have apparently done it lol. So, as a result of that I have learned a lot of things and I like to visit other Gardener Pages and Videos to see if there are things I can do to improve my Garden. I try to learn with fresh eyes. I wish someone had told me about Coir, mixing Peat and Sand into my Soil for example and you hit on a lot of things that beginners need to know that a lot of us learned the hard way and by failure. Great Video.

You want to keep lettuces & cool weather crops shaded by taller plants so they won't bolt to seed as fast when it gets hot. Companion planting helps increase yield & plant health. Beware both deer & squirrels live tomatoes & their blooms.

Coyote pee. Not even kidding. Four big rocks on each corner, get a bottle of coyote pee, squirt it on each rock, and boom, no deer. Amazon has it. Literally search “coyote pee.”

If you are going to compost,do not use citrus peel or banana peel,they will not compost correctly. They do not break down well and will mold and rot,not compost down with the rest of your compost. Just a tip from a lady who has learned and is still learning ❤️✨
