Grow Your Own Herb Garden in Unused Land - Basil

[@listeningatwork8719]

Thank you for announcing your commercial breaks instead of allowing them, as many KZbinrs do, to interrupt your video mid-sentence. 😊

[@superslyfoxx1]

Nice watching your videos over the cold months

[@suburbanhomestead]

Happy to bring some sunshine during winter

[@johnwahl774]

"When will we heal the troubles that we inherit?" I felt that in my soul.

[@bkestler1]

To help Rosemary survive the winter put a few big rocks near them that can absorb heat during the day and keep the soil warmer at night, this will give it a fighting chance. As always, thank you for the wonderful content, sharing your love of gardening with us is such a gift. B

I let me basil go to seed and let them come up next year on their own. They tend to do really well this way. And, I have basil popping up all over the garden😁😁. 🌱🌱🌱

[@suburbanhomestead]

They do best when they choose when/ where to grow. That is a fact.

[@DamonDiaries]

Your Videos Are the best gardening Videos I‘ve ever Seen on KZbin (or anywhere else)! I Watch Them over and over and I‘m loving every detail of your videos! Please don‘t stop :) much greetings from germany, where I have my own suburban homestead 😊

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thank you so much for the compliment!

[@joannapebbleworthy9343]

Basil likes warm weather but also hates direct sunlight. Plant it in the backyard. Raspberries like shade too.

[@CoffeeCakeCrumble]

If you haven't tried basil lemonade I recommend it! Fresh squeezed lemons, cold water, sugar if you can (I can't hence stevia) and FRESHLY thin slices basil leaves.

[@classymom9047]

I actually have a lemon basil plant.

[@CoffeeCakeCrumble]

@@classymom9047 those are delicious too!

[@suburbanhomestead]

That does sound very good.

[@balconygardener5459]

I tried it, should we let basil sit there for some time? It tasted like a regular lemonade to me, so I was confused as to what I did wrong.

[@jenniferjones-ei8rg]

All that and you can sing and compose music also! 👏

[@atinylittlestudio]

Man... your videos are just so visually pleasing. Love the compositions and the basil pro tips

[@gogotrololo]

new song weeks are the best weeks!

[@suburbanhomestead]

I’m glad you liked it

[@simbasbestie]

Took a big **sniff** while you were picking the basil. Your videos make my heart smile, thank you 🙂

[@suburbanhomestead]

:-)

[@portiaholliday8741]

Beautiful crisp white suspenders! Your Glads are beautiful. Is that Society Garlic at 3:59 or chives? That's a nice cover that you're planting in to. I found my Hori Hori knife this year. I'm keeping it in my sandbox for now:-) I'm searching for my Felcos:-) Siam Basil is doing better than Purple Opal for me. Smart you started your basil early! Is that Siam growing near 8:00 under the grapevine? I agree i wipe my hands on taller shrubs too:-) I was pleasantly surprised to see parsley made it thru our freezing winter. I did not know it is a biennial:-) The lyrics to your song are nice.

[@aliciav4352]

I should give growing basil another chance. I have had no luck with it in the past

[@cherylnorise57]

I wish I saw this early spring. You gave me one important fact. How,when and were to plant my basil. Mine bolted in early June. I pinched off the flowers and still harvesting. I really don't remember when you planted grapes. But they look so good. That's the one thing I haven't tried yet. I'm kinda intimidated by them. Thank you sharing your great videos. Have an awesome week

[@suburbanhomestead]

I hope it will help you in the next season. I planted the grapes more than 10 years ago.

[@kristiecox7350]

Love your boxwood dirt removal. So funny!

[@junkeychan]

beautiful singing sir!

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks friend

[@PleasantPrickles]

Basil leaves and their flowers are a nice addition to flower bouquets too. I love your beautiful boxwood. 🌱🌱🌱😀

[@aldas3831]

Hi Siloe! I grow mint, basil and parsley in my garden. I have found over the years thatparsley and basil store better if you freeze them. Mint stores perfectly by drying it. I wash the tips of basil and leaves of parsley and put them in small plastic bags and freeze them. For the mint, I cut branches, take the leaves of, wash them and lay them in thin layer and air dry. They dry in 3-4 days.

[@selfinvolved21]

These videos are absolutely inspiring ! Thank you!!!🙏

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks for the kind words

[@dewalediblegardens7800]

I continue to use basil all the way until it's full of seed, then pull it out, knock off the soil from the rootball, hang upside doen, dry and continue to use it dried- rub the dried flower/seed heads between your hands and let it fall into your tomato based pasta sauces, salad dressings, and other dishes. YUMM!

[@yolylacy5416]

Your garden looks beautiful! Great job 👏. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@butterbeanqueen8148]

Love watching your channel.

[@vmcshannon]

What is that beautiful pink flower tree growing by the grape vine? I just love it. Does it have a good scent also?

[@SC-hj3hr]

I believe it's a Crepe Myrtle.

[@novahina]

I love all herbs ! They were the reason for me to start my first ever garden :D Cadê as Lavandas,heim? 😀Tenta junto com o Rosmarino

[@cantalibre4708]

Herbs are really cool.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Essential!

[@gypsiemomm]

🌻You are right I'm from SoCal. Our rosemary is 6x the size of your boxwood. I cant grow basil. Too warm, growing basil or morr like not growing it, drives me crazy!

[@sharib5922]

Wondering where you got the small trowel you planted the basil with?🤔🌻

[@alexanderjohnson3305]

It looks like a Japanese Hori-Hori. I’m envious. :)

[@hollyjoywoe]

hahaha. Cleaning your hands on the bushes was so funny

[@alexanderjohnson3305]

Yes! I wondered why the boxwood was there right before that hahah. It still seems like it takes up a fair amount of space though, could you prune it like a low standard and then plant around it? Maybe I t wouldn’t like the cold, so it’d probably need lots of friends. :)

[@lennapelayo8678]

Well the garden is starting to look so Lush and it looks really beautiful just wondering where may I get those dark yellow flowers that you have growing everywhere they are so pretty and you're doing an excellent job and I just absolutely love this video state jobs

[@gypsiemomm]

Black eyed Susans is the name of the yellow flowers

[@ameliarose727]

Being in Australia, I have the opposite problem with my rosemary. I thought I lost it during last Summer’s heatwave where most of my plants fizzled. Gave it a rough hair cut and it bounced back lushly. I seem to spend most of my gardening time nursing plants back to health. Almost thought about packing it all in but Siloe’s videos keep seducing me back into the garden.

[@suburbanhomestead]

I'm happy to be a source of inspiration.

[@yeevita]

Try shade cloth and shade. It really helped me in my high desert garden. Mulch also good but in full sun, I cannot give the squash enough water. i could water it all day and the summer sun here would still kill it. Shade is a must for summer here. I use 60% shade cloth over most of my garden.

[@rosagapi]

there's a reason why you don't use pots in your garden? your videos are really amazing and kinda addictive!

[@suburbanhomestead]

I prefer to grow on the ground because my soil is good and plant develop better in ground and take much less maintenance and almost zero watering where I live

[@yolylacy5416]

😂😂😂😂 I love your way of cleaning your hands!

[@JasonOfTGA]

Yeah my Basil tends to form almost small trees before the light frost we gets wipes them out. Are you saying they will live on if I can find a way to protect them (from the light frost) ?

[@suburbanhomestead]

In tropical climates they can grow for several seasons. They are a tender perennial, so most likely in a heated green house they could live for more than one year

[@felixchen9939]

I’m in zone 3 area- I can only grow basil as house plants-

[@10xfarmstead85]

I have an issue with earwigs eating my basil!

[@tatianka30006]

Rubbing your hands off on the boxwood bush - hahaha that's hilarious! By the way, Siloe, I haven't been seeing any commercials on your videos (aside from your own Etsy shop commercial). As annoying as those are, I know watching the commercials is supposed to help you somehow.

[@suburbanhomestead]

I checked and the settings are on for the ads. It could be that KZbin is not serving them to you. I don’t know what to do. Are you watching on mobile?

[@tatianka30006]

@@suburbanhomestead sometimes on mobile, sometimes on a laptop, but I haven't been seeing commercials on either for the last couple of months.

[@suburbanhomestead]

It should be running, unless you may have adblockers or youtube decides my channel is "not worth it" for them to put ads.

[@ameliarose727]

That’s interesting. I see ads on both phone and laptop. Sometimes, double ads at the start. I watch them all as my humble contribution. Have you checked if you have an ad-blocker on?

[@tatianka30006]

I should investigate if o have an ad-blocker on, perhaps with some update it had turned on.. but I'm pretty sure I'm seeing ads on other KZbin videos. I usually like to skip ads, but for certain channels i make sure i watch them, because i know it helps the channel.
