I came for the carrots in a pot. I stayed for Molly, the accent and the humour. Great video

[@michelenix1562]

Absolutely 🤗. Molly popped in and I stayed tuned in.

[@celticaraofficial4653]

Me too! 😂

[@phyllisshankle3540]

Me too 😂😂

He has a twin, John Kirkwood for an awesome easy to follow cooking programme! ;-)

[@s.leemccauley7302]

The tip about removing the carrots with the large single stem is much appreciated.

[@nunezmelisa]

“She’s harvesting her own potatoes!” Lol so cute, LOVE this video

[@bkipme3766]

I am still a little tickled by Molley. She is quite the gardener and I could tell she appreciated that carrot you gave her. The carrots looked great. They have inspired me to try pots this year. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.

[@mfoster4324]

Molly learned to harvest! How funny..lol. I enjoyed listening and learning. Thank you and thank you Molly for the giggle.😂

[@yardrail3432]

Love videos like this where I learn something new like when a carrot goes to seed. I had some like that in my last crop but didnt know why. Thanks for sharing your gardening skills and helping people like me. .

[@thepearl6087]

Molly picking he own potatoes! Love it - she is both adorable AND smart, aye? Looks like she also wants to get herself some carrots. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@LeighPogue]

I was about to get upset thinking you wouldn’t give that baby a carrot. Haha. But you did and I thank you and Molly thanks you. Loved the video.

[@INOOT-INeedOneOfThose]

I live for Molly getting her treats. ❤️❤️❤️

[@donhill8929]

My carrots are doing great in pots. You inspired me to do this. Thanks so much. Keep up the good gardening. Tell Molly hi from Texas.

[@HomeGrownVeg]

Hello Don. Good luck with your carrots. Check out the start to finish video to see a pot harvested. HGV kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqHZdKqAlrCIq5o

[@ladytorres8323]

I love this video and love your Molly as well! I am so sorry that you lost her. I just watched the video that you made about losing Molly 😥 Thank you so much for your hard work. I hope your heavy heart lightens! Kind Regards! 😊💞

[@arizonaphoenix7932]

Hello from the USA! I love the visual showing the weeks of growth. I really enjoy Molly too.

[@valerieneal2747]

He and Mollie are adorable 🌺

[@steveknight4291]

l planted some carrots in pots yesterday. Thanks for the inspiration HGV. Molly just reminded me of my old dog that used to break off my dads pumpkins when she couldn't find a ball lol. seems like 100 years ago now but still makes me chuckle

[@HomeGrownVeg]

Hello Steve. When I take the camera into the garden Molly follows me out. If it's carrots or potatoes she never takes her eyes off what's happening just on the off chance. HGV

[@eveny119]

My Molly (Springer Spaniel registered "Gosh Golly, Little Miss Molly") use to push the gate open to the garden and eat the green tomatoes off the plant. She was smaller than my 2 males and the gate closed just with a bungee cord.

[@kathystearns9012]

Your Molly is like my little guy...I'd catch him in my garden, helping himself to what he wanted. 😁

[@celticaraofficial4653]

I can hear this man talking for ages. It gives me such a cozy and familiar energy. I love the realness!

[@TheChloeSpringall]

I actually love HGV and molly, brightens up my day when I watch these videos.

[@moonbladem]

Molly is adorable! And your carrots greens look really healthy.

[@redcoffee7853]

Great video. Thanks for explaining about the carrots going to seed. I did not know about the 'tiny' carrot under that big stalk. Great lesson. Thanks!

[@AshWP]

I absolutely love your blue ceramic pots in the background! Thank you for showing week by week growth!

[@TheGardeningZebra]

Thank you for pointing out the ones that had gone to seed. I learn something new with each video!

[@ErinsProjects]

I like watching molly harvesting her carrots and potatoes.

[@avishah2343]

Lovely tip! Thank you! I know it must have taken a while for you to plant all of these carrot pots, so we can see the growth! Thank you for that! Super helpful tip at the end too!

[@aroe3714]

Molly obviously knows a good garden when she sees one 😂❤️ And thank you for pointing out the ones that have gone to seed!

[@chickenboo2455]

came to learn more about carrots I stay because this is the most wholesome thing ever

[@joycejudd5109]

we have grown our carrots in a raised bed over the winter months (we're zone 7 and had a very mild winter). We've pulled them as we wanted them, and for the first time, we were successful! So exciting. AND, have just discovered carrot tops are edible...so they've gone into our salads. When you munch on carrot greens, it's a surprise sweetness among the other greens. Thank you for this. Might try the pot method for summer carrots (we can move them into the shade when it's super hot in a pots. Love your sweet doggie! thank you.

[@ethelindamorte921]

Joyce Judd Try carrot top pesto! Put a little lemon juice, salt and any other flavoring in it! I’ve been dying to try it but I haven’t had the space to grow carrots yet (I’m also a zone 7) but I can’t wait!

[@joeys4759]

They are also good in soups.

[@lizzieliz1333]

now i found a perfect channel to binge watch.

[@JackyHeijmans]

Molly is hilarious! I love how you are responding to her. :) Thank you again, for the tips! I am starting with carrots now in a pot. I only have a balcony now. Some years ago I had a garden, and got tiny little carrots. Now I think it was because they all got to that point of going to seed. I will keep an eye on that, and make sure I harvest before that time.

[@gmc0678]

Greetings from Texas. Just harvested my 2 16" pots yesterday. So sweet and yummy. Thanks for sharing this technique. I've never had success growing them in ground.

[@clownhall1609]

Absolutely brilliant. I called in Morrisons yesterday and they gave me 10 free 10” flower buckets. Thank you

[@HomeGrownVeg]

This might video come in handy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2SaY4xoetCrgdk

[@MWoods-rs4wp]

Our growing zones couldn’t be anymore different, however I enjoy watching your videos, so who cares 😂

[@HomeGrownVeg]

It's got to be so hard to grow anything in extreams of temperature. HGV

[@wrongwayconway]

This is the first year that I’m growing carrots and onions in a pot. The “single stem” advice iis news to me! I will be looking out for that. Thank you!

[@HomeGrownVeg]

It's easy to spot, as carrots that have bolted are always head and shoulders above the rest. On closer inspection there is usually just the one thick stem that would support the seed head if left to develop. HGV

[@deborahhanna6640]

I am curious if you can replant those few in another, smaller pot just to get the seed from them? Let them go ahead & produce seed heads for your next years crop.

[@stealthwarrior5768]

Molly appreciates your home grown vegetables. Enjoy your videos , I am learning alot

[@lillyc.1194]

"How long these guys been in Mol?!" So funny, I talk to our pets like people and those are the best conversations sometimes 👍😂 I'm trying carrots this year

[@jaycee7913]

I lost my hearing to chemotherapy so I understand the frustration of not being able to hear. Someone suggested using the closed captions, which is what I do. I'm so grateful that his video is captioned because not all are. Appreciate his generosity in sharing his knowledge and doing it in a way that EVERYONE can benefit.

[@HomeGrownVeg]

Hello Carol. Gardening is generally a sport for the older generation, a lot of them have some disability or other. That said, most of them, if they complain do it in a civil manner. HGV

[@HomeGrownVeg]

Hello again Carol. This is how I sow my carrots. No music. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqfch5R8ipujebM

[@carolb3122]

Molly is helping harvesting. 😅. She is such a love.

[@ChicTumshy]

Awe Molly's got a one track mind 😀 must be like a kid in a sweet shop for her 🤣 Great video, thanks.

[@robertrhodessr3664]

Thanks for a great video. I sure am glad that you showed the carrot that have gone to seed, now I know what to look for. Blessings to you from Ohio.

[@knitordi]

Thanks for the video. I liked the weekly comparison and progress of the carrots. I learned something new on how to tell if carrots have gone to seed.

[@rockstarprinccess16]

Molly seems like the best garden buddy

[@barbsnyder480]

Awww Molly. 🐕🐾HAHAHAHA. Those carrots look AWESOME!

[@evanstephen300]

Molly is super cute and has a healthy appetite!

[@katriley8542]

I love you, your accent, Molly, & your videos

[@delainej2127]

Molly is Gorgeous I love the way You say "excuse me Molly" because we talk to our pets the same "family"

[@HomeGrownVeg]

It was a natural thing for me to do but I didn't realize I was doing it until I watched some of my own videos and yes Molly was one of the family and great to be with. Jim.

[@dvlslittleangel]

What a great video. I’m growing carrots for the first time ever. I had no idea how to tell if what I was doing was right. You video helped so much!! And bless Molly, the sweetheart

[@silverskyranch]

Going to try growing carrots for the first time this year and so glad that I found your videos. Lots of helpful information.

[@spiritualmatters7835]

Great video! Thanks for the tip on the carrot stems...lol...literally...Ms. Molly and the potato patch...love it! Again, thank you for the play by play on carrot-growing...Blessings!

[@ValerieClare]

LOL, Molly, shes such a Lovie...just love her. That one, shes figuring things out,lol.

[@robynmize4713]

Thank you for all the container/grocery bag gardening ideas and tips ... and Thank You Molly... lol you are a ham!

[@07twinkle57]

Watched your vid grow carrots in pot and tried it out...they were the best and sweetest carrots I've ever grown Thank you 👍🌞

[@michelenix1562]

I like the way he explains and shows.

[@channonburt2372]

I just planted carrots in an old baby wash tub that I found at an antique store. I was worried they wouldn't make it in a pot but they are standing tall (3 in) in front of the kitchen window. P.S. You and Molly crack me up! 😁👏

[@HomeGrownVeg]

Hello Channon. Hope there is a few holes in the bottom of your tub for drainage. Plenty of water & good drainage = lots of Carrots. HGV

[@easypeasy2991]

Thanks, I'm going to plant some in a pot tomorrow, your video has given me the courage :) Yay Molly! Go girl! Get 'em carrots!

[@rsamaran]

You’re absolutely adorable, as is Molly. Thank you for a very informative and helpful video 💕💕

[@spiritmoon2583]

Thank you for the tips. I enjoyed your video very much, and Molly is definitely made herself a main attraction! She likes root vegetables an if she can do the harvesting herself I think she probably is satisfied that she is doing a good job to help you. She is very smart and serves her master well. LoL

[@marymcandrew7667]

Last year you inspired me to grow carrots in a bucket and it worked! I've planted mine about a week or two ago and there are tiny shoots coming up. Slow but sure!

[@LindaPenney]

Lovely update thank you for sharing have a blessed day

[@dannystout7715]

You Sir are a such a great inspiration for the new gardener like myself.. I came across your videos while searching videos on planting potatoes and now I've went back and planted almost everything the store had seeds in stock to plant..I Have now found a great new hobby..Thanks for all you do! Keep up the good work!! Oh and do tell Molly she has a new admirer in Tennessee..LOL

[@fevkin]

I thoroughly enjoyed your video and the interactions with Molly. Thanks for all the useful info

[@malakingdude]

I love your vids, Scottie. Great work. sweet dog too. Let's hear more about her.

[@marshgirl]

[@sallysmith7675]

Very interesting! I will have a go at growing carrots in a pot. My garden space is so small that I think a pot will be a good way to add more veggies, especially carrots.
