What’s your favorite way to garden on a budget? Thanks for watching!
I actually received some dollar tree seed packets from a friend. They have all done well and are now about 2 inches tall. They are herliloom varieties supposedly, I also didn't take any special care of them because I didn't they would be worth the effort, I was wrong very happy
Go to the hydrophonics stores for good priced coco coir.
Omg, you guys are so cute!!!!!!
I love these videos. Your fall seed collection has been great. I am growing some indoors in a shed outback and the germination has been great. Also carrots sprouting in the garden. I am a drummer/musician and I use my old drum heads as plastic water catching trays for my indoor plants.
Hello! I’m new into using peat pellets, is it normal for them to look moldy? Kind of like there want to start growing mold. There under grow lights and don’t know if is because they putting some heat or is it because I have no fan blowing over them. Please Help!
Hi Kim and Camera guy:), thank you, i am on my second composte pile
I love y'all together! You are awesome!
Thank as always!
So glad you’re ok Jerry! What made me laugh was hearing Kim laughing in the background. I’m he same way. Save the camera! Great tips today as usual. Love your book!
What I figure about the extra time it takes to develop a garden on a budget is that gardening is a lifestyle. The goal is not a completed garden. It is the excitement of growing, experimenting and evolving!
Yea I definitely bought too many seeds. I shared some with some family and friends. I can see what you mean by seed addict having different varieties. And I got 2 diy raised bed in my apartment balcony mine is a 3x3s was trying to do square foot gardening . Have you ever tried that ?
The seeds and bulbs from Dollar Tree are great! I’ve successfully grown veggies and flowers from the seed packets. The last few years I’ve purchased gladiolus bulbs too and they’ve all come up.
arrrrrrrrr I was stuck at work during the livestream (despite it being MLK). Good to see CG on a live! Great topic today, especially since many are trying to make ends meet. We had "wind advisory" up here but little wind. Another earthquake Sat. evening! 4.5 out of Aromas.
Great LS! What a treat to have your hubby join you ❤ Do you have a berry bush Kim? I would like to buy one this year, also how are your grapes doing? Hope you have a great harvest this year!
