Thank you very much. That's so nice to hear.

[@jenjoy4353]

Thank you for your videos Susan, you are a great teacher. I love growing plants and am trying to get into growing indoors in the winter time. I also sew and quilt in the winter time, so those topics are always welcome.

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Thank you, Jen!

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Wow, Joyce, thank you for such lovely compliments. Lots more videos to come in 2025! Happy holidays.

[@jeannet9592]

Good point about keeping the pike turned. I’m not as good at that as I could be, but when I do I notice that it makes it break down more quickly. Thank you.

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dennik9137]

We are in Deer Park and you’ve encouraged us so much!! Thank you Susan preserving & storing our harvest would be amazing. Maybe bummer crops for the year. This year our potatoes were awful

[@SusansInTheGarden]

I'm so glad my videos have been helpful. I'm starting up new weekly videos next week. They are available on my KZbin channel every Thursday. Let's root for a great season!

[@TeriPeterson-vn7xc]

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Thank you, Teri!

[@dianepuskas6362]

Congratulations! Glad you love making your videos, because we love watching them. Always, something to learn. Happy Holiday to you and Bill.

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Happy holidays to you, too, Diane. And thanks so much for your kind words.

[@mikechristy1010]

Hi Susan. My name is Mike and we live in northwest PA zone 6a. We love your channel and have your books. Our oldest son is also a Master Gardener ( the child that we wouldn't have expected it from! LOL! ) What I would like a video on is when to start which flowers. On veggie packs it gives the days to maturity but I never have seen on flowers days to bloom. If I am starting ingredients the seeds indoors, it would be nice to be able to calculate start time to bloom time. We have done many projects from your book. Thanks for your time and your videos! You are a joy to watch.

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Hi, Mike. It's great to meet you! Thanks for your excellent suggestion. I will add that to the list. I'm so glad you have been enjoying my videos and thank you for purchasing my books.

[@annaruark2153]

Congratulations! I've learned so much from your videos!

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Thanks so much, Anna! That's great to hear. My first video of 2025 will be available on Thursday morning.

[@shirley911]

Congratulations! I love how clear and organized you are. That is so helpful. I appreciate that you explained how to search for your videos. I am strictly a flower grower but find your videos on flowers to be helpful.

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Hi, Shirley. Thank you for such nice compliments. I'll try to do more flower videos for you!

[@donnalavoie4950]

I enjoy your informative videos from Eastern Canada. Congradulations. You are a treasure.

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Hello, Donna! Thank you so much.

[@PeggyPatterson-d3t]

I’ve been watching your videos since they were first created and have loved every one. My suggestion for a future video is how to improve the soil for the many flower and shrub beds in a yard. Some are along fence lines, others are under trees (both pine and maple varieties). The soil is generally what was left after the builders finished the neighborhood. It’s hard and dry in spots, sandy in other spots.

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Hi, Peggy! Well, thank you for watching my videos for so long. That is very cool. And thank you for the soil improvement suggestion. It's definitely on the list for 2025!

[@cherigeitz7798]

Congratulations!!! I was introduced to your channel by you teaching me how to over winter geraniums. I have been doing it ever since! THANK YOU!!!

[@SusansInTheGarden]

That is awesome! Thanks so much and glad to hear you've had great success.

[@marilynm8812]

It happened with a lot of love and hard work. Thank you for your great advice and problem solving for us fellow want to be gardeners. Happy Holidays 😊

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Thank you, Marilyn. And happy holidays to you, too.

[@wandagreen243]

Of course! Dear Susan, Your videos are very helpful to me. Thank you. CONGRATULATIONS! Sincerely, Wanda

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Thanks so much, Wanda! That's really nice to hear.

[@maryannharding6235]

Congratulations on your big milestone! Love your videos and your books! How about a video on how you deal with rabbits and voles if you have those on your side of the mountains. Also, any tips and tricks you have about hardening off plants to make the process easier would be amazing. I find that to be one of the most stressful parts of dealing with seeds.

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Good morning! First of all, thank you for your very kind words. And second, thanks for the great video suggestions. They're now on my list. Happy New Year!

[@lakshmigreenage]

Congratulation nice 👍 sharing 👌

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Thanks so much!

[@taniadressler585]

Congratulations on your milestone! I would like to see a video on how to grow popping corn.

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Thank you, Tania. Well, to be honest, I've never grown it but will definitely look into it for you.

[@joycearthur5244]

Congratulations, quite a milestone.

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Thank you, Joyce.

[@jenniferwilkerson6495]

Congratulations 🎉 and merry Christmas! 🎄

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Hi, Jennifer! Thanks so much. I hope you're having a wonderful Christmas so far.

[@patschoib4924]

Congratulations. I would like to learn more about growing through the winter using cold frames and poly tunnels. 🎉

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Hi, Pat. Those are great suggestions! I will definitely add them to my list.

[@nancyrasmussen2016]

Love your channel. Its clear and concise,and your instructions are always very clear and easy to understand. How about buying soils for the garden and to buy or not to buy. Thank you for all your knowledge. I too love to learn by watching? Maybe that's why I like watching you tube! Merry Christmas! Nancy

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Hi, Nancy. Thank you so much for your nice comments. They mean a lot to me. Thanks also for the suggestion about soils. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

@SusansInTheGarden Oh and forgot to mention I'm a Master Gardener in training. Dona Ana County in Southern New Mexico (8a). Our gardening contexts are very different but I learn a lot from you and enjoy your teaching style. Many blessings to you and your family.

[@SusansInTheGarden]

@@jaredhooser1928 Thank you, Jared. Always nice to meet another Master Gardener! I'm sure you'll be a great asset to your county's program.

Great video! Congratulations 🎉🎉

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Thank you, Gail!

[@CPcomments]

Congratulations! Yours is such a valuable channel. I always enjoy hearing what varieties gardeners have chosen to plant each year and why so I hope you'll continue doing that. Also, do you have a daily gardening routine and how does it change throughout the season?

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you've been enjoying my videos. Thank you also for the topic suggestions. I wanted to give you a link to the list of vegetables and flowers we're going to grow in 2025 for the time being: www.susansinthegarden.com/guides/susans-garden-2025/. Take care.

[@CPcomments]

@SusansInTheGarden thank you!

[@barbkenas5663]

Congrats, you have a great channel!

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Thank you, Barb!

[@annierosales5806]

Hi Susan, thanks so much for your videos. I appreciate all your information and your very positive attitude about gardening. A couple ideas that I think would be fun is how to reseed the lawn, that’s a project I’m working on and then I’m wondering, do you ever give tours of your yard and garden? Thanks, Annie

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Hi, Annie. Thanks so much for your kind comments. Regarding a tour, Bill asked me many years ago to keep our garden private and I've always honored his wish. Sorry about that. But the nice thing about watching my videos is that you've probably see the whole garden as it is!

[@annierosales5806]

@ I totally understand. You guys do a great job! 😊

[@SusansInTheGarden]

@@annierosales5806 Thank you!

[@mariamosher5053]

Thank you miss Susan. I have my compost with ants. This is something that it’s persistent. Thank you for your advice. 🤗

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Hi, Maria. Usually, when there are ants in a compost pile, that means the pile is too dry. I would recommend keeping the pile materials lightly moist, which will speed up decomposition. You don't need to add any kind of insect control products, organic or otherwise. I hope this helps.

[@mariamosher5053]

Thank you miss Susan. You are so kind 🙌🤗

[@SusansInTheGarden]

@@mariamosher5053 Happy to help.

[@connietroxell1575]

We have moles in our yard and would like to know how to get rid of them. Recently the farmer behind us cut some brush on his side of the creek that we share. After that, we now have even more moles, it seems. We’ve tried several things but have been unsuccessful. Could you do a video on this topic?

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Hi, Connie. Are you referring to moles that make the conical piles of soil in lawns, etc.? They don't eat plants and are actually carnivorous. But their digging activities in search of worms, etc. can disturb plant roots. There are also voles, which do chew on plants near the ground level that cause a lot of damage. I just wanted to make sure which animal you're referring to.

[@susanjordan2130]

I would like to see a video on growing in hoop houses and keeping raccoons out. Thanks

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Hi, Susan. I have added those to my list. I will admit that raccoons are incredibly challenging to deal with because they're so intelligent. Here are a few ideas in the meantime: use organic animal repellents such as Plant Skydd (be sure to read the label to make sure they're safe to use near edible plants); some folks use ultrasonic animal repellents that emit high-frequency sounds; motion-activated sprinklers work well is there's a specific area they repeatedly go to. The more expensive route is to surround the area you're trying to protect with a sturdy wire fence or electric fence. Be sure not to leave any pet food outside at night.

[@gailrussell796]

Fava beans would be interesting

[@SusansInTheGarden]

Great suggestion. They're pretty cool! Thanks, Gail.
