Thank you! :)

[@ahhimamonster1]

I can’t wait to start this

[@jameshart3879]

[@d34dly0101]

Nice to see a big smile on your face again . Great video and helpful to us all .👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thank you! It's good to have something to smile about again :)

[@HGCUPCAKES]

You’re the first garden show on KZbin that actually recognises that you’re an international channel. Thank you for realising what so many can’t.

[@mmembreno3794]

Love your vids cuz you’re straight to the point and you don’t use fancy tools. Just simple gardening and repurposed supplies.

[@ProjectDiaries]

Little justified ramble at the start of this one but I'm on it! Simple and straight forward in my middle name haha! :)

[@mmembreno3794]

Project Diaries I would too! I think your followers were happy for you, so no worries 😉

Soo glad that back in the show . I absolutely love your videos😀

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thank you! :)

[@leslieboom689]

It is so good to see you smiling and back on your feet. I was only thinking the other day how you was. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Happy for you bud. 👍

[@brianreddeman951]

Man, I used to watch his show back in the day. I still use his methods. Cool to see people still do it besides me. :)

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Wow I didn't know you started to post gardening videos again. Great! Your video was one that inspired me to start! Square foot gardening is great!

[@AndreBellCopywriter]

Thanks for the chart @ 4:54. I've not planted an official SFG yet...though I have come close by using an earlier version of his book I bought years ago at a garage sale w/o knowing much about SFG. Hugely useful process. I used DIY Berkley hot composted soil instead along with other natural fertilizers ( wood ash etc etc). That was the best, most productive garden I have ever planted. Have since moved from that 1/4 acre location and gave away all the soil and the raised beds before moving. I so miss those raised beds. Next hope to do an official SFG. thx x2

[@Ekstaer]

Another amazing video! Glad you’re back and feelings bettter.

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thank you! Still a rocky road but I'm making good progress now. :)

[@sarahg2551]

[@ihopeugrow]

I’m so happy to watch this video!!! Thanks for sharing it 🥰

[@ihopeugrow]

Can u please teach me how to grow lavender and rosemary from seed? I live in Cali, we have been having 40-50 deg nights and 70+ days, hardly/no rain at all. I have been trying for 2 years and nothing comes up. I don’t use heat pads or grow lights. I grow them outdoors. Thank you and more power and hope to you from the bottom of my heart ♥️

[@ProjectDiaries]

We've had the complete opposite! I'm just finishing up older videos but as soon as I can start growing this year I'll try to do Lavender and rosemary for you. :)

[@carlottapaglini5574]

Heeeei! I'm so happy to see you again! 🤗😁😃

[@ProjectDiaries]

Good times! Thank you :)

[@rerunrescue8904]

Considering that everyone has now been ordered to stay indoors you should do a video on the best vegetables and fruits to grow indoors. It would come in handy right now.

[@wandajuul5150]

Most fruits and vegetables are very difficult to grow indoors because they require pollination to produce the fruits. Maybe lettuces, but haven't heard much about doing it.

[@mooncatandberyl5372]

@@wandajuul5150 some plants can be pollinated indoors by hand, either tapping with your hand, using the vibrations from an electric toothbrush or using a soft bristled brush such as a new/clean make up brush. you also need to keep them on a south facing windowsill so they get at least 6 hours of DIRECT sunlight a day, difficult when you live in a small 1 bed flat. peppers, tomatoes n herbs can be grown and pollinated indoors, and others. window sills are very narrow, but putting a narrow table or two infront of window sill provides some extra space.

[@lavatube8060]

@@mooncatandberyl5372 , thank you for mentioning the vibration toothbrush method. I had read about that 6 months ago and had completely forgot about it and was ready to give up trying indoor gardening. Thank you! 😊

LOVE square foot gardening! Mel and family are the best. SFG has inspired many people in my community to start gardening for the first time.
