I truly appreciated this video. I remembered my first year growing. I spent hours either watching videos, trying to make sense of the garden lingo on the backs of the seed packs, and / or being overly confused using software to aid my uneducated skills. This video has given me the down and dirty and educational tools to be confident with gardening. Thank you.

Thank you! I grew up gardening with my family and I even hold an Advanced Master Gardener certification, but for some reason, I have "the yips" about gardening now at my home. Strange, but very true. Fear of failure, I suppose, but I want to get my "garden groove" back in motion. I needed this encouragement!

[@PJMLK-vb6kp]

Thanks for the education, moving from the south to the PNW, Central Washington is a whole different gardening world. I am having to convert to container gardening due to the sandy, almost lifeless soil & arid conditions, also contending with limited pollinators , its just a ongoing adaption & learning process. Keep at it as we all need help, and your experiences teach us all.

[@D71219ONE]

I know people that garden very successfully in sand in raised beds. The longer your raised beds are used, and the more you care for the soil in them, it will start to improve the soil under them as well. I typically have to hand pollinate where I am, due to few pollinators. Good luck!

I tried to start brussel sprouts. They were happy at first and germinated almost overnight, but I think I over watered. I think I started too early in the season. I think I did everything wrong. I'm container gardening but all I'm seeing is putting in the ground. I can't do that. It's very confusing because most of the people I'm watching ate not in my zone and I find out too late that the video is from years or months ago. Wrong timing. Wrong method. Very confusing. These videos are helpful though. I've subscribed. Thank you.
