Gardening 3 Different Ways (My "Big" Garden isn't ready)

[@grannyframmy]

Hi! Nice to see yall again! Since I live in an apartment I dont have a garden, yet I plant like crazy in containers on my balcony. Since the food situation is as it is now I only plant veggetables that will yield me the most food this year such as zuchini, raddishes and greens (cucumbers too. Wishing us all asuccessful growing season! God bless!

[@daddykirbs]

May your containers overflow with veggies!

[@PaulOtis]

What a blessing to see Luke helping out in the garden. I know he loves gardening! Looking forward to seeing you reap the rewards from your garden. Oh yeah, How are the bees?

[@daddykirbs]

The bees are waiting for me to get my tail in gear for the season!

[@joshuarichards8065]

I think I'd like to try and grow sweet potatoes next year as an edible ornamental. I've seen they can be very pretty with a Morning Glory plant look, as they are in the Morning Glory family.

[@daddykirbs]

I love seeing the Sweet Potato vines go everywhere!

[@OurEcoLife]

Those banana skins will take forever to break down. I recently uploaded a video on making a liquid fertiliser out of them. If you have a lot of skins, you might want to try that for next year's garden. Good to see Luke up and about in the garden, enjoying the spring.

Hello from California...I found your channel about 6 years ago while living in Livingston Texas. I was running a small organic farm and your knowledge really helped me make a lovely place on this planet...thank you ...and tell Luke his goatee is looking cool..🙂

[@daddykirbs]

So good to hear that my story was inspiring to yours. I'm sure now that you will inspire others. Your story counts!

[@lajohnson1967]

Good to see you and Luke enjoying the garden!

[@daddykirbs]

He really does love getting out there and gardening with me. I love to see him smile.

[@chris109]

I’m new here & have subscribed because you seem to be a nice man who is willing to admit you don’t know everything, & are trying different ways of growing. I’m looking forward in seeing how the different ways of planting work.

[@stephm281]

Hubby has planted turnips and onions. He has to wait a bit to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes etc. Looking forward to fresh veggies for us and to share. Love the garden gate. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@daddykirbs]

Thank you. I have added onions to that raised bed garden since this video was recorded. I hope your garden does well!

[@stacyschaffer783]

You did well with your determinate potatoes. It makes me sad when people choose determinate varieties for towers and then say they don't work. You're right something is better than not trying at all! Good luck! It was awesome watching you and Luke work together again!

[@daddykirbs]

Thank you. See, there is something else I need to learn. I have heard that there are both determinate and indeterminate varieties of potatoes, but have never looked into it enough to know which is which and how to treat them differently. I'm glad I may have gotten these right :)

[@stacyschaffer783]

@@daddykirbs It works much like tomatoes only upside down. Determinate create one 'crown' where they break through the earth and produce tubers below it. Indeterminate keep branching below the ground every time you hill them. So if you hill six times you get six crowns and six sets of tubers. That makes them perfect for a successful tower.

[@MJLR138]

Look forward to seeing the carrots, radishes, peppers, and potatoes later in the season!

[@daddykirbs]

Oh boy, me too! Thanks

[@kyledaugherty2]

Awesome!!! I loved seeing Luke out and helping you. Great to see him out and about.

[@gwackamoley]

Nice! So good to see you and Luke, and MamaKirbs (behind the camera!) you all seem a lot more relaxed behind the camera than ever. This year gardening I’m realizing how much more space i need, haha. 🌱

[@daddykirbs]

Yes, we love sharing our story. It's such a good feeling to be in a community where we can all inspire each other. Mamakirbs did a fantastic job shooting this one. She's hired. I do hope you find a way to expand your garden and your joy of gardening!

[@thestead2464]

Well now you done went and taught me something about potatoes! Now I’m gonna go get some and plant them soon. Thanks!! I really like the content you put out.

[@daddykirbs]

You can do this!

[@commonlaw5400]

Good to hear about your success with carrots in the Green Stalk planters as mine are cultivating some and will be planting more. I have found the cornstarch method of planting carrot seeds has yielded 100% germination for me as long as I keep the soil gently watered. I'm in zone 5 southern Pennsylvania. Good to see you back!!!

[@daddykirbs]

Oh, I'm gonna have to look up the cornstarch method.

[@TimTurner115]

We are getting the beds ready to plant. Waiting until after the last frost. Hopefully by April 15th

[@daddykirbs]

Can't wait to see what you grow!

[@lisamorgan9151]

Great information on the potatoes. I started this year and I did it wrong. Glad to find out early. I’ll start some more! Thanks. 🌱🌱🌱

[@daddykirbs]

I've done it wrong quite a few times and still get some harvest. I'm hoping that you and I both have a great harvest this year!

[@trishlovesdogs3188]

Luke looks great! Your video and sound quality are excellent. I just started using banana water on my gardenia and it's doing fabulous and has tons of blooms. We soak the peel overnight and use the water the next morning, then the peel goes into the compost.

[@daddykirbs]

Great idea! I may have to try that method too.

[@SAM_1010]

Glad to see you back don't use Facebook much so this was a warm welcome to my feed

[@daddykirbs]

Thank you very much. I'm glad we got to spend this time together :)

[@catalinoancea6601]

Hi! Have a wonderful Sunday Syr!

[@daddykirbs]

You too!

[@safetydave720]

Jai GuruDev. We love you!

[@lindadubois3538]

Hello good to see you we will do buckets this year

[@daddykirbs]

That's a great way to make a garden happen. I hope you enjoy a bountiful harvest.

[@yesterdayseyes]

I have to poke potatoes back into the soil all the time, next year I will plant deeper

[@daddykirbs]

If they are exposed above soil, I'd go ahead and add soil around the base. This will protect those babies and possibly, just maybe encourage more growth. Even if there are no more potatoes formed, at least those poking through will be saved.

[@lindadubois3538]

Good job Luck

[@holisticheritagehomestead]

Great video. It looks like you are set up for success.

[@daddykirbs]

Thank you very much. Getting any return is better than not having done it at all. I have big plans, but the problem is that I have big plans in so many different areas LOL

[@holisticheritagehomestead]

@@daddykirbs I understand and agree completely. Just keep pushing forward.

[@stephenaburdick]

My mom does hay bale gardens

[@dollyperry3020]

I have Strawberries in my Greenstalk. :)

[@daddykirbs]

Nice! That's one fruit I've had little luck with, but someday I hope to figure it out.

[@MsCaterific]

[@TTV_Its2DJ]

First

[@daddykirbs]

Nice!

[@markspc1]

What is wrong with natural gardening; have you become a salesman now ?

[@daddykirbs]

Nope. I showed 3 ways that I'm gardening this year in this video. One of the ways shown is the Greenstalk. I'm sure that's the one you are concerned about. I've been using them for several years now, and I like them. It's true that I could make a few dollars from that if people use my link and code, but this video isn't all about that. Did you watch the rest of the video that had nothing to do with Greenstalk gardens?
