I think you're better off pulling that plant out to let your peppers grow better. You could still plant some small flowers along there such as marigolds which won't take over the space too much. Just my thoughts 🙂

[@evelynsoria1654]

I recently bought your spring seed collection. I was wondering if there were certain plants that are a good combination to grow together and plants that should be avoided with each other.

[@CaliKim29]

Hi Jason, appreciate the advice - I'm leaning in that direction. It's a beautiful flowering plant - maybe I'll try to locate it to another spot. Thanks for watching!

[@CaliKim29]

Hi Evelyn - thanks for ordering the spring garden collection - it's definitely one of my fav's! All the varieties can be interplanted if you like, but tomatoes and basil make good companions. And I like to plant the lettuce at the base of tomato plants where it will get some shade. Have fun planting your garden!

[@purplethumb7887]

California poppies are the gift that keeps on giving! The seed pods explode and the seeds self-germinate everywhere and keep coming back again and again. The bumblebees LOVE them. I would have never guessed that octopus stem is kale and that they could be cut like that and come back!

[@CaliKim29]

Love it Purplethumb !!!!

[@NextLevelGardening]

I love the idea about folding the smart pot down for the tomato and then raising and filling it as the plant grows. Brilliant!! The white flower in the pepper bed is a Vinca. Sounds like you might want to pull it out and make way for more peppers but if you do want to keep it for interest, just prune it way back like the peppers and it will bush out again. I have the same only purple. Great video as always. :)

[@Danfoodforest]

nasturtiums are beautiful

[@suerussell4476]

Hi CaliKim and Camera Guy, your gardening and efforts are splendid! I too can’t say goodbye to a blooming plant. I would take that large vinca and compost 90% of it but take a small crown cutting to grow in a container as an accent plant. It will reinvigorate, bloom, be controlled and keep the memory alive. 🌱🌸

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Sue - so glad you enjoyed the tour - we enjoyed sharing it! I'm right there with ya on saying goodbye to a blooming plant. Great idea to take a cutting and relocate the vinca (thanks for the name:) to a new spot. Or maybe a few cuttings. Appreciate you joining me in the garden!

[@jackiehorsley9263]

The white flowers are periwinkles they are perennials they have a purple variety too The have great medicinal value being cancer destroyer and helpful in easing arthritis and rheumatic pains especially the white variety it's a blessing that you have this everlasting supply of this low maintenance medicinal flower.

You should grow watermelons like you did a couple of years ago that was really fun

We have had our third warm day here in Iowa! I brought my seedlings out, but the wind is a bit harsh for them today. I can't wait to get some good dirt to fill all my smartpots and get everything planted! Thanks for all the inspiration you two!

[@mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies]

Always love the tours 😍.I keep repeating myself : absolutely love the layout of your hill garden . Those white vincas are going to reseed big time , you could pull out the jungle . The nasturtiums are stunning this time in your garden 😍. I'm hoping to see lots more fruit trees and moringa in your beautiful garden ❤️.

I live in San Diego, and I can't believe you guys are already hitting 90 degrees! It was 82 yesterday, and we were melting! LOL! Supposed to dip back into high 60's for a few days. It's been a rollercoaster.

[@iwant.a.pepper]

Hola you guys!!! Ah, so nice of you taking us for a walk around your garden :) So much to enjoy seems like it was over to quick! And the tomato snacking, I’m so jealous you two... hahaha... but I’ll have some soon and I can’t wait! Some beautiful weather out here as well and today, Sunday... I was able to get some more peppers transplanted in their permanent spots, exciting!!! Hope the weekend has been good to your loved ones and to you both my friends... now it’s on to the next video for me :)

[@CaliKim29]

Glad you enjoyed it, Rod! It truly was a flavor explosion on those Tiny Tims. You'll have your tommies soon, I know you will. Bet you had fun getting those peppers planted! Hope you had a blessed Easter!

[@colecionandopitaya4222]

Que belo jardim, parabéns

[@jojow8416]

Your nasturtium are edible and have a peppery taste. They're wonderful in salads. The leaves and petals of nasturtium are extremely nutritious as they contain vitamin C and iron. The leaves also have antibiotic properties which are at their most effective just before the plant flowers. I'd love to be able to grow perennial sage. It has so so many health benefits. Too many to list here, but google it and you'll see what a fantastic plant you have in your back yard. I dry the leaves and use them all winter for a variety of health remedies as well as flavor in my smoothie and turmeric tea

[@CaliKim29]

Hi JoJo- we love nasturtiums in salads, great peppery flavor and so ornamental at the same time. Thx for the tips on the health benefits and info on sage! We love it on chicken and fish, but I never thought to put it in my smoothies. Thanks for watching!

[@jojow8416]

@@CaliKim29 Thank you dear Calin for taking your precious time to present so much information. Happy Easter and God Bless

[@Dispatern]

I like sage tea! It tastes bit bitter but I like that. I also enjoy my coffee black without sugar. If you like that, you might like sage tea. It's less bitter if you remove the teabag or leaves faster.

Gorgeous Spring Flower Garden CaliKim29!!

[@life_with_ty12]

I love your video's keep up the good work

[@wranther]

Have been noticing how your flowers were advancing thru your earlier videos Kim. Real nice seeing the nasturtiums taking off as they have. Here while the nights have been above freezing, more or less, still too early to plant much outside. Good time to finish the clean up process as they ground is setting nicely. Have lost track of how many chili buds I have picked off inside, directing plant energy to growth still. Hope you and Camera Guy both have a wonderful Easter Weekend! -Bob...

[@CliffWarren]

I'm always amazed at the things you can treat as perennials! Of course for us they are annuals, but if it works, it works! We finally got phase 1 of the garden in. 77 F in Idaho today!

[@hideoutsalon3718]

How coincidental! This year, we decided to plant some flowers with our vegetables to try to attract pollinators and repel pests. We planted California Poppies, Borage, and Nasturtiums. You took your electric hedge trimmer to tame your nasturtiums, and I am about to go take my electric clippers and buzz and fade some heads today.

[@bearfruitgardening6908]

Sounds like you made your mind up about that flower bush in garden bed. PULL IT OUT and PLANT MORE PEPPERS😁 Great garden tour....always beautiful.

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Bearfruit - Yes, I am definitely leaning in that direction - I think a relocation is in order. Peppers are definitely taking priority! Thanks for watching!

[@amandaloewen6479]

Personally I'd suggest pulling that plant you mentioned, allowing more room for peppers and other things. I know its great to have a plant for multiple years, but when it doesn't look so great anymore, its time to pull and start fresh. Good luck with whatever you decide.

[@timothypautu7984]

I love2 your garden flower

[@1982vicks]

That big bush plant is a vinca, I gave up on planting those because they get very leggy in time. I think you just have to trim very low for it to grow back pretty.

[@CaliKim29]

Hi Vicky - now that you mention it, I remember the name! I planted it 3 or 4 years ago from seed. I think I will trim in back and relocate it to an area that needs something hardy to fill the space. Thanks!

[@melsolomon8256]

The Nustusuim leaves and flowers taste good.

[@mandygalgrows4454]

I agree i would probably pull the flowering plant and put more peppers. I don’t know if maybe it’s possible to salvage a piece or take a cutting and plant it elsewhere?

[@rachelberry2]

The flower with bees all over looks like bee balm! Your garden looks beautiful! I’m in northern Ohio, so I just started planting my spring crops!

[@kathryncooper4001]

The rule of thumb in Athens GA is never plant anything til after Easter, so you're way ahead of me! You must live inland, cuz all my friends who live on The Coast are still very cool, nowhere near 90 degrees. I'll go out to work the soil and plant this year's first bed tomorrow. Can't wait to see everything come to life again this year. Nothing beats going out to the garden and picking dinner.

[@birdscorner4874]

Kim! I think the flower at 19:05 is a vinca major or vinca minor it could also be a Madagascar periwinkle. These plants can spread a lot. So u should pull it out

[@cindyhewatt3406]

Oh I absolutely love those Nasturtiums! I planted some seeds a few weeks ago and they just started coming out of my raised beds, I really hope I get to see them bloom before the heat wave come. I could be wrong but the plants in your orange tree pot look like Calendula for me. Also, it’s a beautiful picture of you, camera man and your dog at the end!

[@CaliKim29]

Hi Cindy - they are such an easy flower to grow, you'll LOVE the color pop, can't wait for you to have some in your own garden. And now that you mention it, I think the seedlings near the orange tree just might be calendula! I believe I did throw some seeds down over the winter. Time will tell - I'll keep you posted! Thanks for watching!

[@r2c3]

Hello CaliKim, the purple wild flower might be a Phacelia... maybe :) Very pretty garden too!

[@timbuktu2758]

Thought the same...cause of the colour.

[@r2c3]

@@timbuktu2758 I've also seen blue, red and white phacelias in the wild... the one in Kim's garden is a Californian type but there's many more around the globe...

[@WhooAreYou]

@CaliKim29 I love seeing all the luscious green in your garden! We are starting a raised garden bed and was wondering if the bordering in your video at the 2:00 mark would be good to keep out the raccoons and opossums that like to visit the backyard overnight. I was thinking of placing them around the border so I could still reach my plants but the critters couldn't get it. Thank you!

Hello Cali Kim and camera guy!!🌵💗💗💗🌵

[@amalzohair7746]

Nice tour guys as usual ❤ I think you should remove the flower bush and plant more peppers.

[@bre696]

Can you show us how to harvest seeds (especifically from the onions and bolting greens)?

[@pennypenny2588]

I am new to gardening so I hope you will answer this question. Things that you grow and cut back and then you can plant other things there and still the pretty flowers come back in the cool weather?

[@jwulfee173]

Have you tried ollas around lettuce ? Being your in Cali and with surface water evaporation it might save you some money and if your in a water protection area it's a way to water your plants consistently and save water.

[@randydeshane9991]

My Tiny Tim’s reached about 1 1/2 and stopped growing. I just stuck some seeds in the pot the other day to see what happens. I had peppers and tomato’s that stopped growing.

[@jillspady6450]

I saw seeds today for the baby, climbing butternut. How do you love them?

[@amandaloewen6479]

Another lovely video as always! I'm so excited about planting cherry tomatoes, the varieties I'll be trying are "sweetie" and "tiny Tim" ;) I totally feel the same way about pulling flowers, its hard to pull them when they look good . . . Just curious, down in California do you grow Columbine's? In Manitoba, it's typically a shade loving plant and comes in several color varieties. Also, I've recently learned about sunpatiens and a plant called vinca , not sure if a person can buy these by seed or only by plant but they're wonderful in areas that have lots of sun and next to no shade. I recently posted on instagram about transplanting tomatoes, they smell so good already :) Looking forward to following along as the spring/summer progress.

[@MollyMcBooter]

2019 must be the year for nasturtiums. I never had much luck, which is sad because I absolutely love them and would love lots all over the place like you have. But mine would always grow maybe 10 inches, make 1 or 2 flowers then die 😬 This year though for some reason they are really going off! I don’t understand how either, since I did nothing different 🤷🏻‍♀️ lol

[@dosdeasada]

Thanks for the videos Kim. Question, I noticed little flies on my growing tomatoes, any advice or tips?

[@lisalisa4316]

As soon as I harvest my sugar snap peas, they go limp. Incredible right off the vine. Any hints?

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Lisa, sugar snaps ARE amazing right off the vine, mine don't often make it to the house! When they do make their way to the kitchen, I store them in the fridge in between layers of paper towels. This absorbs excess moisture and helps the last longer. However, they are best eaten asap, as the sugars deteriorate as soon as they are picked. Thanks for watching!

[@lisalisa4316]

[@melissasierra6897]

Vinca is the name of your overgrown flowers bed, it does reseed it self. I would pull it out and wait for the new ones to pop up
