I just wanted to say, as a kid I had a learning disability which I've discovered doesn't ever leave even as an adult. It's a matter of adjusting and thinking outside of the box . You've mentioned your same plight growing up with a learning disability. What you've done to overcome your challenges is so cool to watch. Your success is inspiring for people like me.

Commercial flower farmer here, just a tip, leave at least an inch or 2 of space in your soil block tray so you can flood that area with water.Then tip tray to water the blocks. Soil blocks need to be bottom watered to stay together and to avoid algae as much as possible.

Becky, I I'm so grateful that you were sponsored by greenstalk. I have watched you over the last couple of years with your greenstalks and wanted one. I took advantage of your offer of a discount and ordered my first greenstalk. It came yesterday and I am so excited. I can't wait for planting season. I live in Southern Ohio and have to wait another month before I can plant outside. I ordered the inventor's bundle, which came with 3 tiers of the ten inch and 3 tiers of the leaf planters. It's so wonderful to have this waiting for me. It's unbelievable how much you can accomplish in your show. I just wish I had the energy to keep up with you. You mentioned an interest in making some fig Newton like cookies. I have a recipe that was my grandmother's she made every year at Christmas time. She Immigrated from Sicily as a young girl and met my grandfather on the boat that she came over to America on. It is much like a fig Newton.But instead of a cakey like texture on the outside it has more of a cookie like texture.I love them and try to make them every year. If you would like the recipe, I would be happy to share.

Funny thing about that Happy Frog potting soil--I purchased several bags of it year before last. About half way through one of the bags, I discovered a small squirming mass. Low and behold it was a tiny toad! No kidding! I tucked the little guy in with one of my potted plants. I figured he would like that better than the potting soil, despite it's Happy Frog name.

I have heard too many times people getting hurt by the beaters as they put them in. It’s just to easy to bump the on button and that is dangerous. I just don’t want you to get hurt. ❤

Becky, in so excited about the green stocks. I just had my 40th birthday and asked for one. Out of surprised, I was gifted two of the basket weaved ones. I can’t wait for them to arrive. Because of you I have become more in all of gardening, preserving, and trying new recipes. As a kid we did a lot of canning and it is bringing back so many good memories. Since I started watching your show, I have now invested in a freeze dryer, digital canner, and now two green stocks. I have also improved my gardening area by putting in a few raised beds. I cannot wait to see what this year brings. I’m a little scared though this is the first year I have started my own seedlings. Pray that they turn out well, I am taking your advice and I bought the Vermont compost you use in hopes I will get the same results.

My Mom was a good hobby flower girl. One of the beds was a mix of black eyed Susan's, purple/pink cone flower and Shasta daisy's. Not to much of the white Shasta, your just wanting to breakup the color field, the white gives your eyes a place to "rest". It brightens and adds vibrancy to the color in the bed. It was a show stopper every year with lots of people stopping bye. Batchelor buttons and asters are some of my favorites every year, but they are annuals and need to be reseeded each year. When working 12-15 hour days in the garden is not enough. When they finally connected several large sections of the rails to trails we were out at 1 of the trail head parking lots planting just a few Batchelor button seeds under cover of darkness. When they came up they were so beautiful and was featured in the paper. Some ladies groups had garden tours for their groups fundraiser. You should go if you can find any near you. You can learn allot from these other gardeners and so inspiring.

Good morning, Becky. Such a lovely video. My comment is speaking to cold stratifying your seeds. If you watch the Garden Answer channel, Laura has done something called winter sowing for the past couple of years. Very simple, sowing seeds in recycled milk/water jugs and leaving them outside and unattended for the winter months. She's had varied results but for the effort expended worth the time. Good luck on your planting.

I’m not sure the time frame between going from garden to kitchen, but one thing you want to be aware of is your kitchen items and food bringing fungi and contamination to your plants through your apron and clothes. The only reason I know this is because years ago I worked at a gardening plant starter company that grew starts from votings from other plants and we had to be very careful not to bring cheese and other items into the greenhouse germination area. You may want to change your apron or have one just for gardening, just a suggestion. Hugs from Texas!

If I had never used a word and pronounced it incorrectly, as long as it is done in a respectful way, I would appreciate the help. I have seen horribly rude comments in the past and thought..."Why"? Not sure if this is one of these times. Even if it is short and to the point.

I’m adding my encouragement for you to use paving paint (with added grit to prevent slipping) on the floor in your grow room. We have recently used it on semi-enclosed concrete area about the size of single garage after 20+ years of it just being concrete. The difference is amazing! I’d say it would suit the current use of this room involving lots of dirt and water, and if you change its use in the future you can still lay flooring on top of it. I’m in Australia so I’m not sure if you call it paving paint in the US. It’s a specific product for concrete and similar surfaces, usually outdoors or in a room similar to yours. It’s already non-slip and adding the special grit makes it more so. A bonus is none of the dust that comes up off the concrete.

There are such sweet people in this community. The soil blocks are beautiful. They look like brownies. I'm glad everything is germinating well. I decided to direct sow only this year. Risky, I know. Then, sadly, we just had a late frost here in Alabama. Everything seemed to fair okay except for one variety of tomato seedlings. We will see what happens over the next few days. Oh, well. P s I vote for turning the seed room back into a laundry room/utility room. It will open up the other room for a bedroom. After the greenhouse comes, that is. And it is coming. It's coming for me, too.Which is when I will probably start seeds indoors.

I am happy to see a sponsorship on your video. Congratulations Becky. I think finding alternative gardening solutions is so important. I just have a balcony so I feel very limited as to what I can grow. Watching your channel has inspired me to waste less food and extend the storage of food without losing it's quality. I have frozen fresh lemon juice, fresh whole ginger and garlic cloves in my freezer right now. I buy fresh herbs and then dry them myself. I store the dried herbs in a glass jar and it keeps it's freshness for a long time. Your channel is one of my favorites. All of your seedlings look so cute. Are you growing asparagus this year?

In your area you could plant your seeds and put them outside to cold stratify them. Just let them come up outside. Some people do that in milk jugs. You just have to make sure the seeds don’t dry out.

Becky, a suggestion....in your grow room: leave the concrete floor but have them stain it. It looks great and you can even get the to stamp it with a wood plank design (there are several patterns to stamp into your concrete, but I don't know if it can be done with a concrete floor but it would be worth asking. That way you wouldn't gave to worry about a water leak or getting your floor wet. And dirt could be swept up easily. Love the green stalks. Love that they wanted to sponsor the video! That's great!

Becky…have you tried winter sowing yet? This past winter was my first experience planting that way. It was super easy and all my seeds germinated. I had never heard of it. But a KZbin video popped up one day and I’m glad it did because I always plant all my flowers doing that method. I planted 40 milk jugs of flower seeds that are all ready acclimated to the weather and ready to be planted now. No growing under lights, no seed starting trays, no up potting, no hardening off. Just cut the jugs in half, sprinkle the seeds on the soil, sprinkle some water on them, press them down, tape the jug closed, make sure to keep the lid off the jug so that moisture can accumulate and rain/snow can get in. Then set outside and forget until spring. The seeds will germinate at their proper time and plants will grow even covered in snow.

I read an article that said Dalias do not like root disturbances so that when you plant seedlings you should plant them in a compostable pot that you can just take and plant directly into the garden. That's what I did with mine if you've had success doing it this way I'd really be interested to know that. Also my husband who is a retired contractor although he did not see the crack in your foundation he did say that there is an industrial epoxy that you can inject into the crack of the foundation that will expand to fill it and that could get you like 10 more years.

I thought the whole reason to use boiling water to make the soil blocks was to kill gnat eggs/larvae, etc. so that you can prevent that issue since you’re starting the plants inside. It’s true that it hurts to see you sterilize such good compost and soil to start seeds. Maybe use a less expensive mix and up pot them with the good stuff (and fertilize of course). Love the channel!

Have you considered resurfacing the floor, like they do patios & driveway? The crack, probably will not ever be great, because of the way structures move & shift over time. But they might be able to fill crack with expansion type material.

Couple things. For poppy seeds you eat you have to treat them a specific way from what I have been researching. Also keep in mind that for the lavender for soap, it will turn brown no matter what. If you want that pretty blue purple flower on top, try a blue butterfly flower. In thinking about the floor in the grow room - I'd almost leave it as concrete until you build thr green house. So much easier to keep clean and not ruin the floors from watering plants

One thing that I’ve learned about my grow room or in my case, I have a very close indoor studio with a full kitchen, but to make room for a refrigerator for your grow room. It comes in handy for your seeds as well as putting your harvest that needs to be gathered but you may need a day or two to use it. Just an idea, I love your grow room! It has inspired me to have one as well, of course not as bug as yours but it’s very doable. Hugs from Texas!

I heard you say that some viewers did not like the idea of pouring boiling water on the compost. I had never heard about this and have decided to try it out. But it had felt a bit funny to pour hot water on potting soil mixed with earthworm castings. This morning as I was ready to prep more potting medium for my seeds, it dawned on me that a seed in itself has enough power stored within it to germinate till it's first true leaves. This meant that I could just sow seeds in sterilized potting soil, and feed them with mild organic fertilizer. Once seeds grow and I need to repot them, then I will use earthworm castings and not sterilize, because at that point, many of them can be potted or hardened outdoors. I don't have a grow room, I just have a large area in the kitchen that becomes a seed growing area in the spring. I cannot afford black flies going everywhere in my house. So sterilizing regular potting soil indoors is a must. Thank you for your post and sharing
