Don’t apologize for solving problems as you go along. Solving as you go along just shows your brilliance and ingenuity. Impressive, keep it up👍🏾.

Thank you for keeping me company while my husband is in the CATH lab. Y’all pray for him please.

Very cool garden. I used to go to food giveaways and ask them if I could have the old produce,especially the ones that have seeds in them. The rest I brought home and threw them in my mulch pile.I had a crazy amount of free seeds and rich black mulch from all the produce waste. I turned ugly dressers on the side of the road into planters. Didn't matter if it was kinda busted.I just turned the ugly dressers on their backs and filled the pockets with good dirt and mulch. You can even hang old boots from a clothesline and fill with mulch and plant plants. Hope this helps the poor who have little of anything. Remember if you even ask for a glass of water at a restaurant, you ask for lemon and there is your seeds once again. ❤

I up cycled my co workers mineral tubs he has for his cattle, he gave me the pic of all the ones piled up behind his barn, I got 50! I now have 28 tomato plants and growing 10 bush green beans in each under my tomato plants and I have 20 bell peppers I ordered more bush green beans to plant under those also, have cauliflower and broccoli growing and will be harvesting my larger onions this weekend, I over winter my onions and made a huge difference in the size of my onions. Same with garlic. Once I harvest and get them laid out to cure I will be putting in my squash and zucchini. I grow Swiss chard as it doesn’t bolt in my texas heat but grows 10 months out of the year and my hens love it right along with myself. Sweet potato slips going in this weekend😊 the Lord is good always

Your smile and ALWAYS happy attitude is like a breath of spring air!

Wonderful ideas, btw next time don't buy a truck load of strawberry plants... Buy like 10 and let them send out all their babies from FREE runners!

What are the main reasons your birds go after your vegetables is because they just want the water in them. If you put a birdbath in the middle of your garden, the birds will stay away from your plants. While your birds are drinking the water, they’ll see the insects in your garden and they’ll eat them.

I’m not even sure how I clicked on this video, but it was definitely God leading me for inspiration. I’m going through a divorce and obviously money is going to be extremely tight. However, I’m desperate to be able to do all the things I used to enjoy before I got married. Gardening and having a nice yard is a huge priority. I’m not talented so I appreciate people like you who have visions for being able to see things in ways that are not the intended use. The file cabinets were amazing!! How you planted the strawberries made me want to run to the dollar store and buy every cocoa liner and basket in sight 😆😂. You have a new subscriber here and I’ll be watching your previous videos to catch up. I’m the most excited to see how your strawberry plants grow in the coming months. God Bless 🧡 Lorie 😊

You should be proud of your garden it's beautiful😊

I did a strange thing a few years ago and it has worked well. My mother in law had lived with us for a while before her dementia got worse. When she had to move to a nursing home I discovered some adult diapers left behind. I took them, ripped them apart partially and placed them below root level in my planters. They helped maintain moisture better than any commercial product. They also last a couple of years and continue working. Since then I have bought a package of cheap “diapers “ and they especially work well in hanging planters.

I wasn’t even listening to what you were saying at first, I was just loving your spirit! Smile on sunshine!😊

Oh my gosh, I just discovered YOU! At 63 I am on a fixed income and love your ingenuity, some for the art of it, and others for the necessity; Thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity :)

LOVE YOUR GREEN HOUSE, THANKS FOR SHARING #NOT A DAY WITHOUT JESUS 🙏

The file cabinet planters are genius!! We were going to get rid of two of them and now I have raised planters for my pinto beans. Thank you so much. You're a treasure!

I don’t think I've seen another gardening channel like this. Wonderful ideas that have given me ideas. I subscribed right away. Can't wait to see the strawberries!

I love your sweet nature and your happiness in building your garden. made me smile with you.

EXCELLENT INFORMATION, I BELIEVE EVERYONE OF US SHOULD OWN A PIECE OF LAND. IT IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS TRUE INDEPENDENCE AND YOU WONT HAVE TO DEPEND ON THE GOVERNMENT WHO DENIED US OUR 40 ACERS AND A MULE, PLUS YOU GET TO GROW YOUR OWN FOOD…..WELL DONE MY SISTA 😇🙏🏽👍🏾👏🏽

When you say that you picked something up from the side of the road or from the dump I say I love this lady!!! We need to think outside the box more often. Thank you for the ideas and information! May you and your garden be blessed with abundance of good!!!!

I love you and I want to come be your neighbor! I'm 60 and I love to garden but I am in an apartment right now with the daughter-in-law that won't let me put anything on the extra large patio we have in front. She is being mean so I'm thinking of moving to the country, getting a roommate so that I can live out my days doing something that I love. I'm in Texas but I'm willing to go anywhere I think. You have a beautiful garden and I just learned about you today and I don't know you but I'm very proud of what you've done. And I know you are too. ❤

I am so glad this charming channel showed up in my feed!

Hi, if you take 2 of the laundry bags cut them each at one seam then sew them together it’ll make a larger bag 🤷🏽‍♀️ ❤

I've also seen people use those coco liners as a mini mulch ring for small shrubs or trees to keep weeds down and keep away from overmulching the stems. The dollar store ones only run a couple bucks for two of them instead of the ones marketed on Amazon to be mulch rings.

Just a note to anyone using fruit tree mesh - if you can fit a finger through the mesh holes, you will catch small birds and bats in the mesh, which is a disaster. Use the small hole mesh, like she shows here! Beautiful job! ❤

It was meant for me to watch this. It kept popping up. Despite me not clicking on it, lol 😂. I finally did!! I love this.

Love the filing cabinet planters! It never occurred to me to use them for plants. Now I am going to Goodwill to gather as much leftover metal furniture to upcycle as I can get. Very good idea :)

The basket is my favorite👍👍👍👍👍#NOT A DAY WITHOUT JESUS 🙏

As you're twisting the extra fabric on your basket planter, your skillful hands show us that you've had much time in plaiting beautiful braids for some precious girls or young ladies!❤

I love your innovative, affordable, simplistic gardening tips! You’re an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your helps with the rest of us💕🙌🏼💃🏼🙏🏼

This is my first time watching one of your videos, and you have inspired me. I’m a newbie and I feel so overwhelmed, like with costs and knowing what to do. I’m really late getting started, but I am feeling excited anyway after hearing your joy and budget savers.

I did my strawberries in the way you did in the basket… only I filled two baskets with the cocoa coir and dirt then….. I put they two together with zip ties to form a globe and voila a strawberry globe. It’s a winner . You should totally try it. However you need to water them more often than you might think. I dip mine twice a day in my rain barrel. ❤😊

Keep trying new things. The ones that don't work aren't failures because they still teach us something and inspire future successful ideas.

First time viewer, really enjoyed the video. Your voice is soft & calming. I thought all your ideas were wonderful and easy to duplicate. Your garden, greenhouse, & shed are truly a labor of love. Thank you.

I love after rain anywhere and everywhere and the air smells so fresh.

5:00 I ran out of planters one year and planted strawberries in Amazon boxes. Just put the soil into the boxes and they lasted all through the season and actually were still sitting there ready to be used the next year. I could have made it more like a strawberry planter if I had cut holes around the boxes. I used to think everything had to be just so and had to have all the right tools and containers, but it is easy to become resourceful!

If there was a golden buzzer button, you would have gotten a Golden Buzzer from me! I love your strawberry tips!

Necessity is the mother of invention is a real thing!😀

Taqueshia, you and Thomas are SO CREATIVE!! His building is no garden "shed". With that multi- paned window and the roof shingles it is a Tiny Home!! Hmmm... Do I see a young person or two sleeping out there in the future, as a hideaway?!? I love your basket lined w/ weed fabric, planted to strawberries best!

Watching you roll that fabric was so satisfying that I watched it way too many times am now commenting on it 😂

Im in SC in zone 7b it's 80 degrees here I've been out planting in my garden, i love all of your ideas, last year I took a large clothes basket and lined it with the landscape cloth and grew cucumbers in it and it really works great i had so many cucumbers I had to give a lot of them away. Thanks for sharing your ideas ❤

My favorite part of what you did was your creativity! Thank you so much for inspiring all of us. God bless you!

I absolutely love your energy! Thank you for being a little ray of sunshine 💚

So glad I found your site. Your joy and infectious smile put a smile on my face. Your ideas are so great.

There is no way in the world to be able to pick a favorite! All your ideas are amazing and thank you so much for sharing them!

I live in the woods in the Sierras and I love your ideas and your garden. The dollar store has been a great friend to this ol retired teacher, for plastic pots and bins...they have survived heat and snow some for years...truly a bargain. Your property is so pretty. I have to garden behind fences for the most part, because of the deer and critters, so I love all your ideas for vertical planting on the fence and fence posts!

Maybe think about putting marigolds or another companion plant in top of your strawberry planters. It would be really pretty, and some protection from aphids and other critters

I love your ideas! I’m getting more windmills! :-) Strawberry planter ideas are so awesome. You are fun!!! You could even plant the extra strawberries around the inside fence line. They will spread and can collect repopulated strawberries the following year.

That laundry basket idea was awesome!

I loved your video. I can no longer garden because of my health but I do have houseplants. I love watching you and think about gardening in my past-Susan

Your garden looks so good. Thomas is so resourceful. Many blessings

This is the video I've been waiting for...YAYYY❗️😄 It warms my ❤️ to see that U really do review our comments. With how busy gardeners are this time of the year, I didn't expect to see this video so soon. Just know that it is right on time & very much Appreciated❗️☺️ Thank U...Thank U...Thank U...Lit'l Darling❗️ You Truly are/have a genuine Creative Spirit ❣️✨️ 🥰

Way to go girl. I am 84.and did the same too. Ly

❤ You have shared some wonderful ideas and I love it. I'm surely feeling some type of Martha Stewart vibe happening with what you have done with your budget friendly ideas for your garden which can be used in so many ways with either vegetable's or flowers 🌺 love seeing more of your creative side prayers for you that you have an amazing growing season 🥀🌺🌻🌼🪴🍓🌶️🥕🍅🍆🥜🤗

OMG everything is looking so beautiful and Thomas is really putting the work on your shed! I know you're proud of your hubby. Thanks for sharing and happy gardening?🙏❣️

I'm so glad that you are enjoying your ability to do and to undo your garden ideas. Keep growing your food.

I love your videos and your positivity. You give me so many good ideas! You’re always happy and smiling and it makes me happier to watch you. Please continue to do what you do.

Thank you for all the gardening tips! My wife and I gardened for some years on our place, but life and work got in the way, and we stopped. We're both retired now, and you and your garden have defiantly got us excited about gardening again. Really like your garden and that greenhouse is beautiful.

Your garden is very nice and I love all of your diy's, very creative and inspirational.😊😊😊😊

My heart fills up every time I look out at my rainy garden❤it screams beauty and peace

One of my Mom’s favorite sayings was “necessity is the mother of invention”. Truth

You have such a delightful voice and beautiful smile!!! I appreciate your creativity!

Absolutely love the hanging strawberry planter idea 😊

First time here. I love where you're coming from. I also like upcycling. Your garden is beautiful. I will be subscribing to get more inspiration from you. Thank you for sharing.

27:55 What a great idea! I wish I'd known about this when I had blueberries and figs. All my blueberries and figs have died on me. 🤥 The only thing I have done to keep the birds, etc. away is to put plastic forks upside down in the soil next to the stem of the plants. Also put shiny things in the plants like small Christmas ornaments, etc. I kept digging and planting $35-$30 fig trees and $10 blueberry bushes and I should've just bought a little container of fruit at the grocery store.

Such a beautiful garden. You can use your pine straw as mulch in strawberries. It’ll help the acid level of soil and keep you from watering as much. I have an old blender I use to chop up pine straw. Look forward to more videos

Good Gardening morning. Girl those strawberry planter ideas are amazing.🤩 and the hanging grow bag idea is awesome. I love the way your beautiful mind thinks. That she thought WOW 🤩. Your paradise is going to be amazing. Thanks for sharing ❤😊

My favorite is the fact that I found your videos! You have a sweetheart spirit and I love your work! Maggie

Beautiful, artistic greenhouse. The joy you have in your garden blooms into creativity. So inspiring! Thank you.💚🌱

Girl, your garden is beautiful! 💗 Necessity is indeed the mother of invention and ingenuity. Keep up the great work! 😄

I am so glad I found your channel!!! I have to check out ALL your other videos. I will definitely share as well! I will be using the mesh to cover my collard greens.

Your garden is Gorgeous and I’m so proud of how you have made such progress! You are out growing me! But I’ve had personal challenges that hindered me from expanding previously! But this year I’ve begun my expansion! I’m so EXCITED for you And myself for what This growing season is going to bring!!! Much love! Keep inspiring others! I had a good garden in 2022! But THIS year, is my year to GROW CRAZY!!! I wish you favor with your garden! Grace be on you on your journey!❤❤❤❤❤

I upcycle what I have if it flows together. I have a hard time placing items out that appear random. Especially pots. It tends to overwhelm my mind a bit. I like to keep my garden simple and earthy. I love your ideas. They are cute. I drive myself crazy with the astecics and appearance of my space. I keep it simple.

Your garden is beautiful, as is the greenhouse and storage building... Such clever, effective and lovely uses of the many "finds".. You've pulled everything together masterfully!

You are so much fun to watch. Your Joy is catching. One suggestion. Get some rather large washers and put them on the screws. This will give a wider support to the screws being put into post.

So glad I found you!! I love how you think out of the box. So many great ideas and thanks for sharing!! It didn't take me long to subscribe. New gardener here in Louisiana Zone 8b. Can't wait to get to the dollar store with a new out of the box thought process. Love the filing cabinets idea.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Low budget is pretty much my budget.

You are a joy to watch. Your calm and happy demeanor, is just what the doctor ordered. May God bless you with an abundant yeild. 🤍

The collars green flowers are great in salads!

Your creativity continues to amaze me! I’ve been following you since the beginning.

Love listening to you and learning from you. You have inspired me to spend the day in my garden today, creating! Love your joy, caught that contagious joy and gratitude for the gardening! Blessings to you❣️

I love your garden and have had a couple of different non profit gardens that helped with cancer and health issues!! We got very creative with each garden and did similar things with our gardens!! We also had everything eatable in the garden!! We planted beautiful eatable flowers throughout the garden and it was so pretty and fun for others knowing that everything they could eat if they wanted to try it. Another thing we did!! Making garden furniture out of pallets that we found in the garbage piles from households getting rid of things that we used and made several useable garden boxes and things that made our gardens very fun and beautiful!! I love how you think with all of the different types of planters in your garden that makes it fun to grow things in and fun to walk through with your creations of interest!! Great fun as you keep your overhead down and your creativity up!! 👍🏼🥰❤️🤠🫶🏻🌻

You are so creative!..I love the strawberries in the baskets.

Just found your channel and must say I haven't seen such a beautiful garden in a long while.. I only wish I was able to have a garden like yours.. I do grow in a few grow bags. I started some lemon seeds and cloned them on to a producing tree and I now have lemons on two trees.. Many blessing to you for sharing your ideas with us all..

Hi Everything is so beautiful, I would love to see it all in full bloom. It's amazing I keep watching this video over and over and over. I love it and you. God bless y'all Jude, from Kentucky ✝️🐴🇺🇸🌻🌻🌻

Thank you , watching your video brought me so much joy and encouragement to not let my financial hardship stop me from gardening.

You can also use a trash bag in the baskets with holes. Really like your garden ❤🎉

Those planters on the posts look super cool!!!

You and Thomas are an extraordinary team. Your structures built in the garden are beautiful. Our dump and landfill forbids removing anything. We have to ask for an object before its thrown off their truck. You're lucky being able to get stuff at dump. Which project do I like best. All of them heading to dollar tree.

I really enjoyed this video! I know where 2 filing cabinets are that were my Dad's. I will be using them after seeing this video. My Dad would love it! Thanks for all the great ideas. I'm planting corn in my yard this year because the plants are so beautiful and i really like corn.

Love that greenhouse!

Oh, your thumbnail showed a metal planter! Thought I was getting a metal planter for a $1!

The basket you did is BRILLIANT!

I just found your channel n subscribed. Wow lady you taught this old 66 yrs old lady a lot in just this one video. I’m going back to the first video n brings watch. Thank you for all you do.

You have such a sweet soul and I'm glad to see you enjoying the Good Earth that God gave us. I'm right there with you, gardening just makes me so happy and you have some great ideas! God bless all y'all Jude, from Kentucky ✝️🐴🌱🇺🇸

love your garden and your recycling of found objects!! Something for all of us to strive for! 🔥

Yes, now I know what to do with my old file cabinet!! Genius that you are! 🏆

I love all of the ideas!

I love your greenhouse! I recycle whatever we can. It is amazing what people throw out including myself. I am happy when someone can take it and reuse it. I live in the low desert and we used an old portable carport that didn't have a cover for it as a shade room. We covered it with chicken wire then shade cloth. My plants are loving it! I think the $ tree planter is so much better to use for your strawberries then the strawberry pots. The strawberry pots never water the plants correctly.

gardening for me centers me.getting my hands in the dirt just slows down time. puts me at peace and in the moment. again,great garden:) looking forward to more videos and seeing how your growing season goes:)

Thank you so much for sharing your love and passion.💖💖This is so awesome!! Gardening brings me such joy!! I love to repurpose also. I can't wait to have land again to do this. In the meantime I'm working from my patio. Thank You Lord for my Promised Land!

I just absolutely love this 😉☺️☺️
