Yes we have a Quality Feed &Seed store .,I have been buying from him for years …plus there.. I buy my collard greens from the feed and seed my carrots. What else? Oh my God he has so much and he sells them by the scoop or whatever you want. 🌱 You remind me I need to visit him , plus the seats are already adapted to our area

Soooo cool!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Hey Taqueisha, it's always such a blessing to watch your journey from season to season. First, forgive me if I've misspelled your name. It's not intentional. I'm in zone 8b, and I've never had a successful carrot harvest. I love the seasoning method you used to sow carrots. I've used egg cartons, shallow trenches, and pelleted seed in hopes of a successful harvest. Oh well, I'm still hopeful, lol 😊. However, continue blessing your viewers with your gardening skill and creativity. You exhibit such joy in the garden. Praise the Lord! The dirt is healing to the soul. Blessings 😊

[@ourfreedomsong]

You were SO close! Thank you for trying! -Taqueshia 🫶🏾 This may be your time for carrots 🥕! It is such a blessing! I'm so happy to be in a community of people who are growing along with the garden each season ❤️

[@lionheartfarmandgardening]

There is an amazing thing that happens when you learn that most animals, insects, reptiles, amphibians etc and can't hurt you. Most creatures will leave you alone if you leave them alone, they are more afraid of you than you are of them. Good job carefully catching Mr. Lizard and putting him outside in the bushes so birds don't get him. That's what we do here, even carefully catching spiders in a cup and sliding a piece of thick cardstock slowly under the cup to keep them in the cup, and put them outside. You are teaching so many people such great lessons about not just killing everything because they are afraid. Thank you for another great video!

[@spinx2128]

@@ourfreedomsong yes!!! I was able to mix it up and get what I wanted. I definitely need to ask them about their seeds. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@GettingGoshen]

Territorial seed can be bought in bulk.the problem with buying bulk is you aren't going to use all that seed and you don't know the shelf life. Will it be viable next growing season. Are they organic ? Have they been chemically treated? What if you Don't like the variety? Are you going to grow that many carrots or whatever probably not. I could see the value if several people are pooling together. Sometimes things appear to be valuable but aren't. I also would tell those using soil blocking you have to keep on top of watering because they dry out faster. MI Gardener has $2 seed. At the end of every season local small nurseries may mark down their seeds and plants. People need to know how to store seed properly to remain viable even then you will have loss. Good info for folk with lots of sowing needs.

[@ourfreedomsong]

Absolutely! Thank you for sharing!!! A seed swamp would ultimately be the very best ! We all win that way ❤️❤️❤️ and yes about the soil blocks! I bottom water and they stayed nice and moist!

[@lorrainelori2030]

What do you do to keep the blocks from falling apart?

Mine held together.... I bottom watered ... Which may have helped! Probably about half an inch daily

That’s exactly how I do my carrots. Only way that worked for me so far. I saw someone get the potting soil put the seeds on top on a plate ziplock it and put it in the freezer overnight let it thaw and sprinkle in the location to grow

[@ourfreedomsong]

Such a cool method! Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@hoosierpioneer]

My local feed stores have stopped carrying seeds. The last time I bought from one, germination was very poor to nothing. I suspect they were many years old. Hope yours will be fresh ones❤

I agree with getting seeds from the feed store. I also bought some several years ago and they grew this year. I also like to get bulk soil from them or the landscape supply.

Soak your seed in warm water for 24 hour then plant your beet root seeds; i was having the same problems a 3 years ago until my friend who has a big farm in north Carolina told me how to plant beets.😊😊🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@neoavant6984]

@@ourfreedomsong A nice home schooling project for the kids. And if the kids decide to go to a university they could add that to their extra curricular activity as an added value to their entry application. I home schooled my children too. They both graduated early from high school because there were less distractions. Best thing I ever did for their education.

I planted Alaska shelling pea from Ferry Morse in the spring IT WAS SO AGGRESSIVE! It is not tall, but Alaska sucked up all the water & nutrients and grew so quickly that it defeated my sugar snap peas utterly. I did not get one sugar snap pod, I got MANY Alaska peas and the taste was bland in my opinion. Your girls are not only CUTE they are BRAVE! That lizard had its mouth open the whole time!! Looking for lunch?!

[@ourfreedomsong]

It wanted to eat us .... I'm sure of it hahahaha And oh my goodness! Really?! 🫛 Ah! I'm so happy I didn't decide to plant that one this time! I went straight with the sugar snap peas! They are just so tasty and prolific!

[@californiamojavegardener5505]

Hey sis Your making the soil block maker wrong. You can watch the 'The Seasonal homestead' they use soil blocks. But to tell you, push the block maker into the soil until you can't get anymore in it, then just push the plunger onto your tray. And there you have it, no must no fuss and no messy hands. REMEMBER push down onto soil, not put soil in with hands. Hope this helps..

[@ourfreedomsong]

Hey thanks for chiming in. This is how I did it when making my soil blocks for the spring and they held up perfectly. Its awesome that there is more than one way that works! I watched lots of videos and each person did it a little differently as well as how they made their mix... But they each had success, which is such a cool thing about gardening 🫶🏾

[@californiamojavegardener5505]

@@ourfreedomsong I just said to myself that there's a faster way that wasn't messy. I don't like soil in my nails. But the other channel I told you about, they use soil blocks majority of the time. So see how it works for you. Keep up the good work, cause I'm on my own, in this gardening game.
