FULL Winter Garden Tour w/Tips & Ideas for Planting in Spring Vegetables Flowers Container Gardening

[@dreamzofhorses]

I think others are watching you because now I see people teaching to grow in tote bins, using kitchen scraps to fertilize in place and yesterday a couple doing what you did, finding leaves and sticks they find on the ground at the garden stores (they will ask if it’s ok) and take home for growing free plants. Things you’ve been doing for a while now. Your creativity, experimenting and out of the box thinking has kept all of us ahead of the gardening crowd! I always return to your channel to see “how Robbie does it” as you are or have and have tweaks to teach and lessons to share. Been following for about 5 years I think. So many make things more complicated and expensive when it’s not necessary. The proof is in the results. Thanks for all you teach us Robbie. Looking forward to learning much more with you!

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

❤️ I know, a lot of people come back to me and say hey, they’re copying you, that’s OK as long as the word gets out there that’s the main thing and most people know where so many of these people learned some of these things from. When I started growing in totes many years ago, and posted it, people thought I was crazy. Now there are totes everywhere, with the wonderful results to show by not just me, but everybody else that’s now growing in them. I have so much more coming. Thank you so very much and keep watching because I think you’ll be surprised at all the new things that I post, again thank you 😊 ❤️

I had no idea Gary had such a huge garden. This is truly a food forest. I would love to camp out in this yard. Yes! Garden tour with Gary!

[@kaylynnr8003]

I love you Robbie. I have only been gardening for 2 years and it is amazing how much I have learned trom you. I am 65, single, have extremely limited budget and mobility and would never have been able to achieve results without your guidance. Thank you so much. I have clean food to eat because you have inspired me.

[@marykerr4381]

I started microgreens too. So far so good

[@pawlet]

[@marykerr4381]

@@pawlet I love the lettuce mix and starting broccoli this week. My problem is knowing how to store it. Too much to eat.

[@pawlet]

@@marykerr4381if you cut them, put them in a "Debbie Myer" green box and store in the fridge. lettuce sprouts are a quick one. They can be ready in 5 or 6 days. How does it get any better than that! I like to eat microgreens as a snack. I cut and eat half a tray and a time. I tend to go a little crazy on growing and love to experiment. ⭐

It has been so cold here in Portland. East wind 48 mph with 12 degree temps. I covered my deck compost tote with a heavy blanket. I am hoping it will be okay. We have had such a miserable January. Silver thaw today. I can hardly wait for Spring!! Love watching your wonderful weather. BTW, I have been switching out my feeders for my Anna’s hummingbird. Poor little babies are so cold.i hope I’ve saved a few. One nearly sat on my arm when I brought out the feeder. They watch for me. ❤❤❤

Thanks so much for your thoughts on the truck bed 😊 I wore that sweater when I first met Gary ❤ Thank You

[@WendyMcinnes]

Just a suggestion the plastic shelfs that Walmart sell work great for plants. Light and fit together light gets in . I use them for plants. Easy to move around. Instead of chairs.

[@sueg2658]

I camped in our back yard too! Lots of fun. Yes, sometimes coyotes stand their ground especially in pairs. I would yell, “go home!” And most time they would take off. But not always and I had to high tail it back to the house lol. Gotta love nature and science!

[@cheriedoughan5583]

Nice tour. I’m in the same zone as you in Florida. I never take my ginger or turmeric out. Never knew you should but they grow back every year. Ignorance is bliss.

I love your and Gary's garden, and I would like to hear gary talk about his new plans for this year as he does a garden tour. My grandpa bartered and would get other people's junk. He had a lot of junk piles and I was always going through them to find stuff to make things with. ❤😊😊❤

[@cheriedoughan5583]

A thought about Gary’s dry dragon fruit. Maybe try growing it flat.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

I could try laying it on it's side as dragon fruit will set roots from the Areolas or buds. That might work as the base may be dead. Unfortunately it was sold to me with very little green on it. You may have watched the other video where the seller convinced me it wasn't a problem. ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH7UoWyce7qDjLc at 8.23 min mark ) "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me". I've tried a number of things for three months. I might try that first. The next step will be to cut it into small pieces and hope something will take. I am starting to have success with stem cuttings removed from the fruit. Thank you Cherie.

[@cindywerner-fd3ll]

What if Mr. Gary cut the green end off the sad dragonfruit and planted that part after it seals over? Not sure if it will, but it might? Love the garden tour, makes me so excited for spring!❤

[@southofthesticks]

I was wondering the same thing too.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Unfortunately it was sold to me with very little green on it. You may have seen in the other video the seller convinced me it wasn't a problem. I picked the best one and he had more to sell. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH7UoWyce7qDjLc at 8.23 min mark . "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me".

Yes, record your gardening and do a commentary after👍

[@rocknmamma2666]

I'm loving your recap and how you're describing your various garden zones, then reviewing your plans for improving them for this coming year's harvest. A couple questions that came to mind re your fantastic bird garden as I'm trying to replicate here in Ramona. And I've watched your videos for at least a year now. You probably mentioned but I don't recall if all your larger shrubs are only in containers with the now large bushes covering them or are any direct ground planted? I've seen your demos of cutting large holes or even entire bottom out and sinking the containers several inches. Thinking of composting in bottom of hole, then sinking container on top and planting in that in your normal fashion. Here my gopher runs are 12-18" depth. Also same idea for fruit trees and vines. Particularly for your exciting "water to roots" method for deep watering my very hot windy summer microclimate areas. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experiences. They're very meaningful to me👍🥹❣️

I was thinking that silicone sealant might be able to seal and hold the broken planter cracks together a little longer. There's the aquarium type, safe for animals but some odor when applying.

[@southofthesticks]

GARY, l was in the supermarket the other day and saw some Paw Paws and l was wondering how I'd go growing them from seed, from those fruit, here in Vic OZ. Not so much for the fruit, but more for the tree, because I think they're such a beautiful tropical looking tree. ROBBIE, you could call that new garden The Dinner Garden or The Healthy Dinner Garden. Another great video ‼️ You guys are Champs. 💜 💜💚💜👍🐨🇦🇺

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Paw Paws ( papayas ) will easily grow from seeds. Unfortunately they are frost sensitive. Our climate is similar to Perth. If you want to experiment I would try a couple of things. Plant then in pots and overwinter them out of the cold. Plant them against a North facing wall (Southern Hemisphere) and cover overnight. Obviously a green house would be perfect but not everyone has one. A related plant Babaco or mountain papaya looks and tastes similar, is more frost resistant and is grown in Victoria. I don't know how easy it is to find or what they might cost. As a kid I tried to grow Pineapples in Central Victoria. Didn't produce fruit but was fun to try. For the best chance spring would be the best time to start. Best of luck Gary.

[@graceinthegarden9151]

I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you and enjoy your warm weather. God bless

[@par4451]

Gary I will like to know is the shark fin melon is affected by the vine borer? Also I would love for you to do a garden tour.

[@susanblackwell3457]

I'd love for yiu tiomake whole videos on some of your more obscure veggies from planting and care to how to cook.

[@juneramirez8580]

I have an old saguaro that was a danger to our electric power lines. One year they wanted to cut the whole thing down. I couldn't bear that so I talked them into topping it. After a while it becamed diseased and was dropping arms again. I called the electrec company and this time they didn't want to cut the whole thing down and cut it in half. Don't know how long it will last, but it hasen't given up yet. It looks pretty good and still houses many birds.

[@Ben-v5t9p]

Great tour. I have a friend that's really into Dragon fruit I will ask him if there's a way to get that dead looking cutting to root.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Thanks Ben.

[@meb4142]

Robbie I’m in so CA zone 9 too… my 2nd year pepino did better this year… took cuttings last year just before the fall and that one -has so far-produced way more fruit than the plant I took it from !

[@juneramirez8580]

I am refurbishing an unused portable car port with chicken wire to be able to protect my seedlings and plants from the birds, rabbits and such. I can use shade covers in summer and heavy plastic in the winter. Chicken wire costs more than tulle but it lasts forever.

[@jennygray7081]

I've just bought pepino seeds to try. Fig leaf gourd seeds are expensive, $9 and up for ten seeds. If anyone is trying to get seeds, don't waste time. Seeds are selling out already. I just had that happen. So I paid more for less seeds.😢

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Good to know, I ‘m going to try to see if I can set something up with seeds. Thank you so much. ❤️😊

[@TheFeralFarmgirl]

I wonder if the shark fin melon could be good with a sweet and sour sauce. I wish I had some just so I could experiment with it. I love coming up with recipes for new things!

I kinda think Gary should cut the one dragon fruit (that isn't doing so well) down to the green part. I know he'd probably have to hack it down almost in half, but I think he'd have better luck with it.
