I keep thinking and watching every week thinking that this will be the one we get to say happy birthday little person sprout. Praying for an easy delivery and recovery and healthy baby.

[@bigsky5102]

I KNOW!?!? There were no tomatoes in the greenhouse when this was filmed! 😊 Almost like they filmed it for "the" day. So excited I am about to bust! 😂

[@alexisd8190]

@@bigsky5102I never even noticed that ! Such a good catch, also there was no date on the intro

[@amberlovejoy]

Right!! She is gonna pop lol I can't wait for the baby. Meg is the absolute cutest pregnant woman ever..

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Meg, My husband heard me commenting on your Green Stalks. I've been wanting Greenstalks for years but timing wasn't right. My husband went in our bedroom, and grabbed his credit card. Came out to the kitchen and said happy mothers day....order yourself 2 Green Stalks, and 2 spinner bases. I placed an order for 2, and can't wait to get them. Thank you for the discoumt code.

[@janew5351]

What a great husband!

[@Windora3]

I've been watching y'all for years. Met my fiance 2 years ago and introduced him to y'all. Now he gets mad if I watch an episode without him. Last year we got two goat and this year got chicks. Looking to purchase some land. Possibly looking to get 25 arce now. Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring us. Biggest blessing to your whole family. 💜

[@lisadixon2494]

can we just take a moment to acknowledge how amazing your sons are. Over the years (long time subscriber). They have become a. part of your You tube journey. and are now acting out Wes Anderson level skills of appearing in the background. The first minute of this video is testament to that. love and best. wishes to all of you, from a tiny corner of South East UK.

[@malina1239]

They are amazing young men😊so helpful !

[@jencash9595]

They never whine or fight or beg for stuff. As long as Mom feeds them and Dad, let's them work in the shop, they are happy. Kids are so spoiled today. They are so refreshing to watch.

[@lindaransom3013]

I agree even Bugsy is such big help.

[@jencash9595]

Buggy is a little doll. So sweet.❤

[@Berley_1234]

i'd like to take a moment and say how amazing being pregnant must be !! we guys don't understand

[@lorrainecostanzo9092]

Meg you are the cutest pregnant lady I have ever seen, I am short and had big babies and carried really high so I felt like they were kicking my ribs out, you look wonderful

[@Rule1336]

Buggie waters Millie cat! 🤣 Gotta get video of that going down. She gonna be a helpful and entertaining big sis to the littlest Hollar. Be blessed y'all. Jesus rules!

[@parbatilakhan9159]

We in Trinidad love Qulantro .My dearest Meg as a utube granny my blessings and protection to you and your family and I can't wait for the new arrival .I fell is a 👧 girl . ❤❤❤❤

[@TobyCatVA]

Buggy is a natural-born KZbinr. I love the blue, Green Stalk for its pop of color.

[@jamjar5716]

@tobycat ... That is exactly what Buggy is - she was born into youtube!😊

[@kebergify]

Buggy watering the strawberries made my mom heart smile. What a cute little gardener!

[@twigandbloomgoods]

Same 🥰

[@melaniehopkins4778]

Meggggg, watching you getting up and down, bending, uggggg, I’m remembering my last months of all of my pregnancies when I prayed to God please don’t let me cough or sneeze or go too fast over a speed bump in the car. You are in amazing shape. I’m praying now for your comfort and good rest this month. 😊

[@amberlovejoy]

Right I don't even have kids and can't squat like her 🤣🤣 my knee died in the 90s with freaknik

[@jillcaponi8995]

Cilantro doesn’t like anybody. Don’t feel bad.

[@jenniferrush8231]

Cilantro grows when its less than 70’s but mostly above freezing. Early spring and late fall

[@lisaclark361]

Thank you, I needed that!

[@malina1239]

I dont like cilantro right back. I have the soap tasting gene. It’s so bad 😂😂😂😂 Smells fresh and looks good , but I could just as well take a mouthful of Irish spring..

[@lydiamitchell6814]

Try a layer of sand on top of the soil… slugs hate sand!

[@lyndaroe9642]

Thanks for real life and family times.

[@charmainemrtnz]

Buggie has grown so much in the last few months. She is not a baby anymore! Blessings to. you all!

[@LisaRayHoward]

Buggy is so cute. You guys are great parents. Meg, you’re quiet about it, but I know being so pregnant makes everything, including breathing, much harder. Ben, keep taking care of her. Y’all are a good team.

[@lanyrogers5707]

I just love the Hollars. Wonderful to see Meg out of the kitchen and to see Millie the cat lounging while Ben and Buggy help Meg. Be safe and God bless all of you.

[@deborah2302]

I love millie the cat!!

[@deborah2302]

I love Millie the cat!!

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

One of my earliest memories is sitting in the dirt next to my dad as he was planting in the garden.

[@Berley_1234]

same here, but was with my Mom (and the other early memory is riding the vacuum cleaner as she cleaned...lol)

[@tamijohnston8401]

Ah, Meg! You are awesome and inspire my 62-year-old self!❤

[@ccj3355]

Buggie is a very good helper.

[@mamatofive1]

What a sweet little helper you’ve got! Your property has come so far, it’s so neat to see the progress! Hope you got a good rest after such a busy day 😁

[@josephpedone2004]

Hello Hollar family, my grandmom always had extra sweet basil in her garden… she used it in her tomato gravy and her pesto sauce was amazing… I miss her every day

[@brokenmeats5928]

I love ALL The Hollar Homestead videos!

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

Buggy is the founder of a new pre-schooler age Future Farmers with a one word motto - “Grow! “ LOL . Seriously- she knows tons about cooking and gardening and farming and she is not yet school age. You all are amazing! God bless!

[@southernladywithmanyhats7428]

A tip on the greenstalks.... I HOPE you guys don't mind me giving you tips. I really like helping make it easier on people. I took mine apart last year and didn't pay any attention to those little watering things in the middle of each one of the planting things. Some of my holes aren't getting water because those tiny holes in each tier of watering is stopped up with soil. So when I redo it I gotta clean out those little holes.

[@mommak8342]

I was actually wondering if that could be an issue. Thanks!!

[@evalinawarne1337]

Hope, you'll get the pink one for Buggie. Then, she can plant all the dream seeds. Great blog. Baby, looks well and coming soon. Love, praying SE MICHIGAN 🙏

[@Chris71151]

I just ordered my first GREENSTALK! I’m so excited. I ordered the pink basketweave with the wheels. Great sale added with your code! Thank you. I’ve been wanting to do this for several years now! Happy Mothers Day!

[@amyb5339]

It's the newest thing in culinary advancement. Coriander tacos. 😋 Slugs LOVE yellow, so look up the yellow solo cup in the garden to attract slugs over there, then place the cup where the chickens can enjoy.

[@diamondchamberlin6285]

I know im not the only one who thinks Meg is having more than one sweet baby ? Cant wait to see the newest member of your family .

[@elainevang9114]

I have thought the same !

[@deecooper1567]

Same here 👶👶👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@rpsp5154]

I think it’s a girl🤰🏻🙏🏼

[@crystalbrooks7875]

I have twins too, same thoughts, that would be 2 sets of twins for them! I’m so excited for them! Such a wonderful family, I’ve learned a lot from them! God bless from East Tennessee!

[@staceybert1975]

Buggy needs an endorsement deal with Stark bros.

[@patbwi5871]

Your African blue will be beautiful, with sun and water big and bushy.

[@xianvox22]

It's beautiful, and lots of bees will be very, very happy. But not really the tastiest basil, I've found. I ended up leaving it to the bees.

[@sergeb957]

Very good planting and you have good helper, all family together

[@janninehaslam9204]

Beautiful Hollar family ❤❤❤ xjx

[@Putzywoo]

I love my Greenstalks so much! I see you all couldn't resist the limited availability of the blue one. Same!

[@bgmaple47232]

I enjoy Ben and Meg working together. Emphasis together. Happily anticipating the arrival of the newest member of the Hollar family.

[@dianatoo940]

Everything looking great! Blessings. 🙏❤️👍

[@whitestone4401]

Buggy is a natural gardener. It’s so great to see her wanting to put her hands in and asking great questions.

[@vonniemerriam974]

When I was setting up my greenstalks this weekend I kept getting pestered by some punkies, what we northerners call those soil gnats that emerge early in spring. They love to divebomb your face while working in the garden. After about 10 minutes of swatting, I grabbed a few leaves for lemon balm and rubbed it over my face, releasing that citrusy oil. Never had another punky after that. Remembered doing it last year to keep the mosquitoes off me while picking beans. Lemon balm is a bully, being a member of the mint family, but it sure has a great plus side in pest control. Buggy is adorable!

[@AngelaM-y4e]

I did not know that! I did know someone who pinned on each shoulder a dryer sheet to keep the bugs away. Seemed to work for her. Have a lovely day.

[@eaccristo]

Awesome fun day. Now go put your feet up.❤

[@laymanhomestead4711]

Potatoes in the Greenstalk! What a great idea!! Also, I've grown African Blue Basil for years. The bees love it, and it gets huge, like 3ftx3ft..so you may want to put it in your garden. Lavender hates to be watered, because it's Mediterranean. I've killed it for years, and now ignore it, and it does great! I actually found a cilantro that did great in my SC heat! I'd be happy to send you some seeds if you want to give it a try there.

[@sheilamesick96]

I thought you were going to have an herb garden at the end of the house?

[@jdbeernfishing2916]

Get finished painting the side of the well house white to reflect the sun for your strawberries.

[@sharondoan1447]

It’s amazing how much a little paint can change things.

[@debbiebeckstead9268]

I think they just painted a green because it was white before

[@marieparks5674]

What a precious gift you are giving to buggy and the boys,

[@connieparcaro7502]

Oh my goodness Meg! 🥰 I so remember your place! I feel ya! Even though my last baby was born in 1977 😳! Treasure this time in your life!

[@portialancaster3442]

New potatoes, snow peas, and lots of butter...yum!

[@daleannharsh8295]

Ben if cilantro bolts you just have coriander.

[@joanreid2804]

I too, love watching your precious children working with you from the oldest to the youngest!

[@Miguel195211]

Meg is a hard worker!

[@neallittlebit1383]

I think we just did the same as others!!! I JUST BOUGHT TWO 5-TIER WITH TWO SPLINNER BASES!!!!

[@madammim694]

i can't wait to see the new baby!

[@melodiedeguibert3394]

Cilantro likes cool weather.

[@hubertwebb9869]

Is Buggy getting much taller or is it just the camera angle?

[@marycook9607]

Your kitty is the same color as my Gus. He likes to be in the garden with me. Talks to me the whole time. I enjoy him so much. ❤😊

[@ginnysulya9805]

Hi guys just wanted to give you a heads up that RuthAnn Zimmerman (Homesteading with the Zimmermans) just put up an Old Mennonite recipe for moth trap attractant/killer for fruit trees! Jason was asking on Homestead Shop talk! Hope it is helpful to ya’ll! There ya go! 💖😉Peace and blessings!

[@frednelson6361]

Sprinkle coffee grounds where you don't want slugs. It works really well

[@gagakk5566]

Your strawberries look so wonderful & healthy! I have a horrible problem with Basil- read a lot cut back on watering & still black leaves!! 🤯🤷‍♀️

[@5GreenAcres]

Potatoes are not ready until the plants die back. When they flower they are STARTING to make potatoes. Your potato plants look very healthy and are just starting to flower. Best to leave them alone.

[@missmartpants2269]

Lemon balm grows well in a shady location too. It spreads but I love that. It's and amazing tea for calming the uterus.

[@lailalyberth1926]

I find myself watching your "reruns" whilst on baby watch.. ❤

[@saa8458]

I wish Greenstalk would ship to Australia 🇦🇺 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@D.J.R63]

Buggy is going to be a great gardener!!!❤

[@KevinGastonSR.]

A little tip I saw on KZbin for small seeds - carrot seeds mixed with sand in a seasoning bottle made it very easy to sprinkle out evenly. Worked perfectly when I tried it.

[@robynobrien3610]

Bolted cilantro seeds are coriander seeds! You can eat both.

[@tearalewis7532]

I too have a hard time with cilantro and one year thought, i love having house plants, maybe i can try and grow cilantro inside. Get yourself a good growlight...not the kind for starts, i have a powerful bulb i use for my indoor plants, and just got another one for herbs i grow inside. I have them in my window seal in my kitchen, but dont get enough light, so i added the bulb which is on 13 hours. So now i can have cilantro year round. Also works for chives, and other stuff too, but here in eastern NC, i never seen to have long enough cool weather that is just right for cilantro, so indoor ut goes.

[@cantnv1]

Buggy really is so intelligent, and so absorbative of aallllll the plant knowledge. It's fun watching her become a professional botanist 😊

[@sharonyonker4688]

Love everyone.. can’t wait to see your deck done..& when is your newest member coming 🎉❤ Where did you get your planters things please..

[@mystichollowfarmandhomestead]

My favorite parts of this vlog are.. 1.” There we go.” Said by all within one minute. 2. Buggy asking about the chamomile and if it can be eaten, and when told that it’s used for tea, she gave a good head in agreement and understanding. 3. That Meg is totally rocking third trimester of pregnancy! 👏

[@mystichollowfarmandhomestead]

*head nod*

[@robertlafferry3455]

You don’t have to many slugs. You don’t have enough ducks.

[@lisamanly4526]

Cut the flowers off the potatoes to encourage more tubers to grow and it stops the plants from going to seed. This is important to do now.

[@carolcalf2032]

Oh buggy you made me laugh. Great family really enjoy your vlogs

[@theresarogers5002]

Ben can get you one for Mother’s Day! She deserves a wonderful gift!

[@jeanniewright2554]

I’m getting ready to plant my GreenStalk - without strawberries! I love them, but have had no success growing them!! Yours look wonderful!!

[@nancilynhill6950]

You might try some shade fabric to lower the temperatures that trigger bolting. It might extend the season long enough to get a harvest or two. I live in the Valley of the Sun (Greater Phoenix Area). Shade fabric is our best friend.

[@normamason3185]

I was hoping to see the boys helping you plant the herbs in your herb garden.

[@brendamaas4293]

You should plant some catnip for Millie. Don't dig up the potato plant just scratch around with your hands, then you can harvest each plant twice.

[@territn8871]

Right! We always used a dinner fork and scratched around the surface for new potatoes. The main plant isn't harmed at all. We always called that scratching around the dirt "gravel for potatoes". We ate new potatoes that way all summer til we dug them all up in August.

[@jenniferr2057]

Really! I have never heard that!

[@pamelas9]

I have catnip on the lowest level of my greenstalk and my cats completely ignore it until I pick it for them. 😂

[@noahvale2627]

Planted strawberries last year and, hallelujah, started picking the last day of April. I'm in southern Indiana. Guess this is way early.

[@greenmouseguard]

Meg You look great God bless you sweetheart🙏 Linda from Ct

[@evanorvell8368]

If you pinch the basil tops you can root them in the soil and have more!

[@MrsC122]

I’m in New Hampshire and the cilantro bolts really fast here, as well. I let it go to seed because the seeds are coriander. Love my Green Stalk garden tower, too. I enjoyed seeing what you have done with yours. Thanks for your content. Love your family.❤️

[@marking-time-gardens]

Blessings on the Hollar Family Homestead! 🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿

[@rpsp5154]

Woohoo. Indiana long time fan❤️. Love your videos, and want to say thank you for the Green Stalk garden discount code. They have great Mother’s Day sale now so I’m indulging in a 5 tier planter and swivel base. Many blessings, good health and happiness to your family.

It’s May! Wow! This year is really flying fast.

[@kgs2127]

Meg I love that you're Killin it pregnant! I was 33 for my last (had my previous babies at 19 & 22) and rocked it!!! I built 3 decks, a series of handicap ramps and a mudroom in last month and a half of that pregnancy (put my tools away Friday afternoon had him Saturday morning🤪). My Mom had become paralyzed from spinal cancer just before I found out about my surprise baby...the decks/ramps at her house and mine we absolutely necessary and I had a feeling the baby was going to be very limiting BOY was I right, he was my most difficult little but turned into an amazing man🤩

[@littlemonkey4021]

Meg, you look like your having a good sized boy! I say that also because I think your hormones are different from you were pregnant with Buggy. But, only you know cuz you’ve had enough experience to know 😌. Looking forward to the new blessing to arrive! ♥️

[@rosiesgrandma]

Well you're starting to take the shape that it won't be long before that baby is born. Everyone laughs at me but there's a certain look when a baby starts to drop that the tummy takes on. I knew almost a month before you announced to the world that you were having the next wee one. By time you announced I said well I thought you were going to announce that about 3 ish weeks before. ❤ LOL. I think I missed my calling I work in the medical profession but not as midwife.

[@jenniferr2057]

I'm a predictor too.... 🙂

[@missmartpants2269]

Maybe you can freeze or make cilantro salt to save some before it goes to seed. Or plant in a shadier place. My lettuce did great in the shade. But I moved it in a pot back and forth. God bless!

[@andrewhammill6148]

You guys ever grow bush green beans in your GreenStalks? I do at least one of mine every year with them. I have 4.

[@territn8871]

Ive got 3 GreenStalks, and I plant bush beans in all 3 of them! They produce plenty enough beans for me and my son all summer!!! Love GreenStalk planters!

Hi Meg and Ben, I’m from New Mexico originally from Southern California . I really like using Cilantro as well as the seeds, however I enjoy fresh during the warm seasons so I succession sow cilantro seeds.
