Small Steps......Big Change

[@joannesmith7642]

Three years on and your video is more relevant and required viewing and inspiration … everyone needs to start growing their own ….sooner rather than later ! Thank you 🙏

[@jillianblott7743]

Hi Terry' I have been out in my garden today planting new seedlings Sage, mint, dill, garlic chives, calendula's and i planted Lambs eye's , i got them because i remembered them in primary school i just loved the softness of the leave's, my childhood memories. I love being out in my garden, the day just goes before i know it , it's been several hour. I have been winding copper wire around the stack and putting them around in my garden so far i have notice my parsley has got bushy and thicker, before that it was growing slow.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I am going to try that. It seems everyone is talking about it at the moment. Books make it complicated but my friend is doing what you describe and has said same. xx

[@briganfree3656]

It is a good idea to inspire parents to do this for their kids when they first leave home. Set them off in the right direction.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Definitely! I did it for my daughter when she was in college and she does try to grow herbs on her window sills still

[@jeannedeneau6754]

I'm so glad to say that l started a small garden in the limited space that l had. We made a birthday cake out of our carrot harvest! Thanks Terri

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

That's brilliant! Success. xx

[@mirandaandrea8215]

I love our message of empowerment Teri! Your so encouraging! I have always loved all things earth, growing, etc, but you have really invigorated a renewed interest for me! It feels so important to reconnect with Mother Earth for her nurture and support right now! I walked along a riverbank near me today, in London and found a lovely clump of nettles which I gathered, and then made myself the lovely soup you did in one of your videos! Lots of love! X🌀🌳🌀🌳🌀

[@jille369]

I’ve been sprouting green lentils. Just cover the base of a clean recycled jar with lentils soak in water overnight. In the morning rinse carefully, trying not to loose any . Repeat the rinsing morning and night in a week they’re ready . Eat them fresh in salads or pop into a stir fry just before serving 🌱😎

[@annekolasinski860]

Flowers of calendula mixed with eggs ... And your omelette becomes a great restaurant meal 💚🧡💚 love your yummy vidéos ... Blessings.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Blessings!

[@FrancescaWaddell]

Thank you for making it look possible and really easy to grow veg in a planter! I live in a flat in the city and so i don’t have a garden, but I would love to grow my own veg... I love how you’ve mixed a load of different plants together - I’m off to see if I can get some calendula tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration Terri x

[@marilynroberts6644]

I also add calendula to my vegetable pots. A lovely bright addition to anything if you ask me.! You provide so much inspiration , I didn't realize you could add so much to a pot that size. I've work to do this Spring .💜🍀💜

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Yes, it really enlivens the garden with colour - great companion planting too. Thank you so much for your kind words! xx

[@jacquelineswanson3821]

This is a great idea! I think I’ll make one of these for a friend who just bought a townhouse and she wants a garden but doesn’t have the space. So much love to you Terri!! 💕💖🌸🌱🧡💜

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

That would be a lovely gift! xxx

[@catherinehartmann1501]

I looooove this one - so much future harvest from one pot! And the idea of windowboxes - just never got there in my head - what a great idea! Plus, you are so full of hope and easy confidence - that supports the growing life - I'm sure of it!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank you Catherine x

[@dwaynecuster]

Very similar to what I'm doing with my apartment balcony. I've got about 16 cubit feet of soil to plant in tables and pots. I even got recyclable cat litter boxes for lettuce and arugula. There's so many creative ways to grow food! Thank you Terri.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

You're right Dwayne - I'm enjoying hearing about all the things people are using as planters! A brilliant opportunity to be creative in more ways than one.

[@tacywest8842]

I have not had a garden since the crash of 2008 and miss it. when young i had really big gardens. No dig method this year will help a lot due to the wisdom body i have to handle carefully. smile

[@elaineholden1988]

I think that is wise advice I have been in my greenhouse setting seeds. I haven't always had the luxury of a garden so used all kinds of vessels found or repurposed were used. I used to put them under a plastic sheet supported by two old chairs . My neighbours used to laugh but I grew alsorts in my terrace back yard and it was pretty too x

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Good for you. I lived in a terraced house in England and had a lovely garden in the back yard - it is amazing what you can do with containers!!

[@jackieburnett6881]

I love how you combined the different plants

[@Cronezonetarot]

Started off lots of seeds on Tuesday's new moon. Thank you for sharing what you are growing and inspiring others. I loved seeing your new hens too, by the way.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thanks Lyn! New chickens are settling in well.

[@thewunder-lusters9644]

Coriander is very popular in our household too. :) ... we're just putting together our cut-n-come-again seeds now as we're probably past the last frost ... probably. :)

[@sallylunamoth5542]

💚🌱🥬🍅🥕🍃💚 Lovely Video Great content informative... TYFS 💞

[@SimoneWhipp]

Love the idea of growing multiple types of veg in one pot! I must try this idea. :)

[@marianeves5574]

Another great video, Terri. It is inspiring, and like you say, not hard at all . Life has been complicated lately, but over the past two or three years I have been growing rocket (Arugula) in two rectangular clay pots. I absolutely love its bitter, but so distinctive taste in my salads, or just over some cottage cheese on a toast rusk. Thank you for your tips! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and have a lovely week ahead! Many blessings!

[@jeangood541]

Great to find your video, Terri. So comforting and inspirational, especially in these dark days. It's wonderful to grow plants, either in a garden or a window box...just lifts the spirits and creates wholesome moods. Looking forward to your next video soon. Jx

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

So glad you enjoyed it - it was my intention that it would inspire someone. Glad to meet you.

[@mstevens2461]

Just found your blog and absolutely love it. Thankyou.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Oh how lovely, so glad you like it.x

[@nanapoppi3]

I'm growing herbs in pots along with salad greens all organic of course and going to try potatoes in growing bags. I hadn't thought of onions in pots like you demonstrated so I'll give that a go too. Also sowing wildflowers all over our front boulevard to help the pollinators and rain run off.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Great news re wildflowers! I am not sure how the onions will get on I just thought why not give it a try! Good luck with your planting.

[@carrolinebennett5462]

I plan to put out elderberry trees and blue berry bushes if I don't blow away here in Kentucky!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Great choice - food and medicine! Don't forget the blue berries need acidic soil. Happy planting!

[@judyyaklin5658]

Hello from Texas. Love watching your channel, takes my mind off of what's going on in the world right now. Also gets me in gear to plant my flower seeds too.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Working with Mother Nature is a great way to put everything else aside!

[@loisbanks3614]

Veg and eggs - all set to go. - such a thoughtful thing to post at this time so people feel positive and abundant. Let's all stay positive. Trust in Mother Earth and in Life itself. xo

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Definitely Lois!

[@alisonrittener5606]

I just found this video … funny cause I was just attempting to grow things back then … have made some progress … hoping my beets and lettuce do well (California here so longer growing season I think). I’m also growing kale, sweet potatoes, celery … But I have to tell you … I’m getting quite passionate about growing herbs. Been foraging too … and discovering the uses for weeds (must get your booklets). Not sure what happened to my garlic last winter whilst I was visiting my daughter in N.C but not a trace!! It was great garlic too that I got at a Farmers market … followed instructions … mystery! Thank you for all your amazing videos! I’m British and just live the countryside (your garden reminds me of my aunt’s although she doesn’t have the herbs. Amazing medicinal properties!!!😊

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

What a shame about your Garlic. Maybe next year... Delighted to hear you are becoming interested in herbs and "weeds". Enjoy the journey. xx

thank you for giving the simplicity of growing :) as yes, i am intimidated lol

Don't be intimidated - it is your birthright - just go for it!

[@juniperarcher1080]

Loving your videos Terri! I’m growing micro greens with different cabbage and broccoli seeds plus salad veg and lots of herbs. I also use my old holey wellies as planters- I have strawberry plants in them!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Brilliant idea! I must try that - got an old pair lying about somewhere.

[@juniperarcher1080]

thankyou for this... my son wis moving in with his girlfriend, great idea for a little moving in gift x

[@gwenwade6059]

I have sage, thyme, red and green basil, lettuce, rocket, parsley and rosemary growing well. Feel safer eating home grown.

[@enquery]

Plan to get more seeds in soon. Especially cut and come again. I put a few beans in. We'll see how they do. Plan to do more potted gardens this year as the gophers are quite voracious with just about everything. Blessings Terri, and TY for the inspiration. 💫✨💫

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Sounds lovely Maureen and thank you.

[@orangepinkgarden]

Thank you for the post. I would love to live in Ireland. My father has pasted but he was from Crossmolina. My mother mother was from just outside Charlestown. Her dad was from Mahara. I plan on planting onions today.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

You will have to visit one day - check out your roots when all this is over!

[@MegaOnaOna]

oh wow thats such a super idea - myself and my son set wild flower climbing seeds along one side of the garden flower bed yesterday - thinking about ordering some new seeds from seed savers now !

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Soudns lovely! What kind of climbing flowers?

[@missavaricebliss]

I've put some cucumber, tomato, and lettuce seeds in a shallow dish in the windowsill. My rental house is being sold very soon, so I have to move. At least I will have some little seedlings started!

Absolutely resonates with me. I do this

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Brilliant, great to hear that xx

[@JB-pd4ni]

brillant!

[@suginami123]

I will keep trying to like beetroot. It’s the only veg that repels me. I’ve tried fresh organic etc. not that keen on Swede either. But I can eat everything else. Coriander is well hated in Japan. I love it. Growing is fabulous. I have Italian parsley 3 kinds of mint. Been sprouts which look like cress but thicker. Japanese spice bush which has little lemon flavored leaves. Smells like soap a bit.s sage will be planted today. All in a city balcony. Lemons too. Thanks.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Try making beetroot burgers with feta cheese, walnuts and spring onions - scallions - Totally delicious and they worked for my husband who felt like you do about beetroot! I like the sound of the Japanese Spice Bush.

Put up some more seeds today and the others are already up and so little and cute. What does beet root look like when mature. Are they just beets? I love beets and just tried golden beets, so sweet.

Lovely video ty! I'm preparing our tumbledown greenhouse just now. Have pots at the ready and tons of seeds saved from last year so looking forward to getting started. I've used all sorts of containers to grow things as we've always been on the move as a military family. I even had some fennel growing in apair of hubby's marching boots when we lived in flats in Germany! You stay safe there, take care.xx

It might well be. But you got think of the ones that don't make it and also that Mother Earth never leaves bare patches. If it gets overcrowded in there I can take stuff out.
