You have no idea how excited I was to see you in my notifications. Love your videos. Hope you feel better real soon.

[@MissBetsyLu]

Well said

A new video - What a great way to start my day! Thank you!

[@JL4YT]

Happy to see a new Leon video pop up this morning

[@donna7881]

Good morning Mr Leon may you & your family have a blessed day. Thank you for sharing another great video.

[@OkTxSheepLady]

Thank you Leon. I hope you’re feeling much better soon.

[@sherryrogers695]

Great to see a new video! Thank you for the frost protection tips. We like to try and start a couple tomatoes early. Our extended family used to have a contest on who could have the first ripe tomato of the year.

[@Southern195]

God Bless you!!! 🙏🏻 Take care of yourself and get well. I recently found you and wish I had found you a long time ago! You have so much knowledge and I need to binge watch all the videos. Thank you!!!!

[@re66044]

Thanks for the advice. I got mine planted and covered with milk jugs. Last night I put buckets over the milk jugs and will add newspaper next weekend. So far so good! I just hope I planted early enough.

[@my_flippin_journey]

Happy to see you're still helping us .. ♥️

[@johnny.angels]

Thank you Leon you are a breath of fresh air.

[@leannekenyoung]

Great ideas! Thank you so much for sharing them! I hope you get feeling better real soon, I swear my buds of garlic fermented in raw honey and it will cure most things. Wishing you great health, Mr. Leon. Those darn scammers I wish they could be stopped! I love your videos, I’m fascinated by how you manage to use everyday items to produce results! I would never think to do a lot of the things you do!❤️🥰🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@trishbishop3923]

Funny u say its going to be really cold at 28 degrees, here in Wisconsin some people r in shorts at the temp.LOL…i just recently came across your site and am interested about the wicking tub set up…already have several used tubs to use for the projects…can’t wait… We here r much in the spring fever mode…however it will be awhile before we can plant even cool weather crops… keep posting as we all learn from your knowledge Take Care Leon

[@helenbradley3123]

Oh my so good to see you Mr. Leon. again this year. I pray you and Mrs Leon are well. You need to get inside and drink you some tea Sir. I've learned so much from you. I had set up my tubs last year and they held up well in 107 degree heat drought summer. I'm typing this during a late winter rain. Thank you God. I did want you to know I wintered over my pepper plants in the cool office and they look great. God bless you for sharing your knowledge with us you gardening treasure. You are a gem. Take care

[@sheilahanzlicek8922]

[@texascheri8445]

[@pinklady32]

This is so nice to share your gardening tips. Great idea with the containers. I wish you a quick recovery. Look forward to your next video!

[@shelshele]

Great info! Keep ‘em coming!

[@CraftTeaLady]

Thank you for sharing for all your knowledge Leon❤️

[@audreymcneil3087]

God Bless Mr. Leon. So glad to see a new video.

[@TheBomo]

Last year my milk jug blew off in the wind ... this year I'm defiantly putting a second bucket with a cinderblock 😁 Watch that cold sir

[@kennyjohnson6875]

Thanks Leon

[@survivalflare54]

Thank you. I have been wondering how to plant them early and keep them safe. God bless.

[@lindablandon5286]

Going to set up my wicking tubs the way you did early on. I think that will be best way to go. In pots that have a hole, I am going to put layer of black plastic to hold water. I like the way Arms family did his red ones. Thank you for great info.

[@MissBetsyLu]

Do you have a link for arms family?

[@mikerice8047]

Great video thanks 👍

[@michelemenard8364]

Thank you Leon, love this season extending tip.

[@jimlivingston8875]

Thanks for the new video....Get well SOON. GOD BLESS ...

[@MissBetsyLu]

Uncle Leon? Eat/make tea of parsley. It is an expectorant. You need it.

[@HappyLife-pp8ve]

Good morning Leon. Thank you for sharing. We just got another 3 inches of snow here in Nevada.

[@MissBetsyLu]

Yep. Snowed a bit here too. But warmed in daytime so snow comes sliding off roof be big Wooooooosh!!! Lol hits the ground sounding like a 50 lb pillow just hit the ground.

[@gaylafreeman7005]

Thank you.

[@mojavebohemian814]

Thank you

[@Fi0434]

Tha k you so much! I hope to make a road trip to visit sometime soon

[@daviddaughenbaugh1080]

Grrrreat!

[@dr.shakingmyhead4167]

🙏❤️

[@ThinkAboutIt-2x]

I have no news paper but lots of clear or green tinted buble wrap. Both large bubble & small. Also I do not have extra buckets they are pretty much in use mostly. So if I bubble wrapped around a empty juice container (I don't get milk) & tied or taped with it long enough to be in dirt some to weight it with maybe rocks or bricks. Am just across MO OK boarder near Neosho so maybe a bit colder here. So if I double bubble wrapped & tied & weighted?. Maybe trapped? Wouldn't the clear or greenish even help it stay warmer during day? I wish I had a greenhouse. If you ever get an order to be delivered up this way or someone wanting to trade in old one to get newer please let me know or tell all on this podcast as I am subscribed.

[@dorlavegas]

I'll move them to large pots

[@michelepreisner2053]

Mr Leon, I am from the area in Ohio where the train derailed. I usually plant a large garden. My question for you is, what would be your recommendations? And also is there a way to buy your products to make the self wicking tubs such as soil containers etc... Thank You. Hope you are feeling better❣️

[@1877sandycreek]

I saw on another video you covered the soil with plastic. Can you still cover the soil with plastic and use the milk jug too?

[@jarnold8803]

Have had a problem with cedar rust on kefer pear. Do you have a how to on treating that with keeping in mind that i raise honeybees. Thanks

[@Mapdotnowhere]

You gonna do that same process to all those blue buckets?

[@lindablandon5286]

I saved milk cartons but threw away the caps. Can I put heavy paper over opening with rubber band.

[@my_flippin_journey]

Maybe a plastic baggie or two instead of the newspaper 🤔

[@helenbradley3123]

Or aluminum foil?.

[@titanart6225]

Where do y’all buy those tubs? How many gallons are they?

[@Sauce_man_S.M]

🪴🔥🔥🔥💯

[@angelasheppard7197]

Thanks Leon
