I learn the most from your "progression videos". It's gotta be a ton of work to keep track of all of various stages of each family of videos and to put them all together but they sure are instructional, enjoyable and beneficial to your audience. Thank you so very much. Great job again. Cheers from Wisconsin.

that tip about the cinnamon is priceless.

LOVE how you give all the Glory TO GOD!

Love how they pray at the end. God bless. Amen

I so love these 'start to finish' videos y'all do. I know they take a lot of work!

I did not know that cinnamon deterred fungal growth. Great to know! Thanks Mr. Hollis😊.

It's much better to grow vegetables in your yards than just having a pretty lawn to look at.

I love how you guys prayed and thanks for showing the cross

Oh my goodness the beginning had me cracking up with the chopsticks and flies 😂 I really needed that laugh. And then when you said well it’s been 6 days since we started the seeds I saw those plants above you and was like NO STINKING WAY!!!!! Lol!

Thank you for doing a complete video that shows each step weeks apart letting them grow so we can see actual steps! I appreciate that!

You guys provide SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE for us beginner gardeners! You truly provide an easy approach on how to do things that is not intimidating at all. I started last year with a 4x8 raised garden bed that turned into an epic failure as I mixed like 15 different types of vegetables into one spot! It was a hot mess! But I did come out with lots of zucchini, squash and tomatoes/tomatillos that I grew in containers. After watching your videos last fall and into winter and learning from my mistakes, I decided to rent 3 community gardens here in town and give it a go. I know that I speak for many of us, but THANK YOU for the time and effort that you put into making your videos; experienced gardeners like you are an encyclopedia of knowledge, we're so lucky to benefit from it!!!

Wow! That cinnamon tip is priceless! Thank you for sharing this vid - i'm planning to try lettuce this year!

I really love your videos.. specially there is a prayer at the end of the video.🙏🏻🙂❤️

I grow lettuce. I didn't think to planting lettuce in container's. Thank you 😊 God bless 🙏♥️

Hollis, I watch a lot of gardening videos; have a several favorites, but I swear you & Nancy’s videos are my super favorite! You’re just so welcoming & make us feel right at home in your garden! I’d just like to say, “Thank you to both you & Nancy. We really do appreciate all you teach us, your knowledge, your genuine good heartiness, your faith so inspiring, your sharing & just being you.” You truly are a garden friend to so many! “May our precious Lord keep you both safe from harm & healthy mind & bodies”.✝️🙏😍

You're so right about salads - growing my own lettuce and arugula this summer meant eating more salads. I'm going to start a fall crop soon.

LMAO, the intro deserves a freaking award. I haven't laughed that loud in a while.

Your videos are awesome cause you guys are amazing. You must have strong bones and back. My back isn't good I'd be down for weeks. God Bless! And love that you guys give God the glory with a prayer at the end.

Your garden is so clean and beautiful and very carefully thought out. Thank you for the ideas, with my disabilities it becomes a challenge but it is so worth it! I instantly followed when I seen the cross can't wait to see more! 🙏♥️

Subscribing because I see that Hollis is a great teacher -- doesn't let any detail slip by. Thanks. We are hoping to prevent any struggling with our new house/ yard starting some self-sustainable gardening. Lots to do.

I have learned so much from you may God continue to bless you. Patrick from the Bahamas

Wonderful job, I've got to try this. I've been craving Romaine lettuce, but with all the problems commercial growers have had keeping them safe to eat, I just quit buying.. You two really know your stuff, and you're SO organized!

“Fangers..” ☺️ love it You are the best teacher ever luv u both!!

I am so glad stumbling over your channel today! It's exactly what I need. And God knows what we need...! In this Global lockdown time with the Corona Virus, this really keeps me litterally and spiritually on my knees. Thanks a lot and greetings from South Africa!

I really appreciate that you took the time and trouble to show us the results of your actions over time. It's so much more satisfying and informative to watch. I am so often frustrated by the fact that very few KZfaqrs do that. Thank you.

I went to the thrift store and got an old flour sifter (don't use the Mrs.'s or there will be hell to pay) and I put the seed starter soil and sift it over the seeds and then I use a squirt bottle set on spray and wet it down.

I am thinning my green zebra organic heirloom tomatoes, and instead of tossing them I figured I would donate an extra scoop of soil and pass along the extra! Its definitely not the time to waste food! Victory gardens! Thanks be to God!

The best video I've seen on lettuce growing and I've seen a lot thank you so much!

Your red lettuce looks amazing. I feel.blessed to be able to view your videos and learn so much from you both and to feel the power of prayer at the end. Many thanks.

I really enjoyed watching this video. Your common sense explanations of why things need to be done certain ways to prevent other problems was very helpful.

That lettuce is bigger than anything I have seen in any market or farmers market. We have 3 farmers markets in this area. I am astounded !

You are a great teacher! Even though we’ve been growing an organic garden for about 50+ years, I ALWAYS learn something new from your videos. You explain your steps so well that anyone could learn the best way we have for all these years! Keep up the good work!!!

Wow, first time gardener here (65+ yrs old - but not too late to start!) and today you came up in my feed just as I was going to plant lettuce seeds! Thank God. I love your progression videos. I know I'm not planting my vegetables the perfect way (and it concerns me because of all the time and effort I've put into learning and trying) because I see one video then another and another and.....etc,. So I finally started planting. But then later as I'm learning everyone's techniques and do's and dont's I watch another one last night while planting seeds on my outdoor gardening table and OHHHH NOOOO!!! 😱 I found out that once a seed germinates you need to remove it from the warming mat BUT leave it under the grow light, or in sunny window. I ran back into the house and started removing the peat pot starts so they wouldn't over heat. What a dilemma. I live in a very small home and not only have they taken up my whole couch - my cat is not happy - but now also my shower in bigger containers with a grow light hovering over them - and I'm not thrilled because, well let's just say I'm not taking a shower with them so they have to be temporarily relocated every time. So I had to find a place for the germinated starts so I wouldn't burn their roots. Only one video I've watched has ever said that. Ugh! But I'm determined to keep learning and grow all the vegetables and fruits I love this year especially because of what is going on and what's to come (I have the straw, blue, black, & rasp berries; 4 cherries grafted on one tree; 2 pears grafted on one tree; one apple). I've spent HOURS researching "HOW TO's" and it was finally time to take the plunge and buy, order, prepare, plant and pray! I'm in zone 8b - short growing season. And now that I've got starts growing I'm like a mother hen checking on her chicks. "Good morning, how are you? Oh you look so healthy and happy! (as I fawn over their little leaves or seed heads peeking out. Even if they don't look so hot, I think positive and give them the 'you look amaaazing' vibe.) Have some water it's good for you." Then at the end of a long day of them trying outgrow those seed hats off their little leaves "it's time for bed, lights out, I love you..." I touch every one of them morning and night as I'm tending to them. And yes - I take pictures. I think what I need to do now is quickly build a little indoor/outdoor like seedling station. So they have a place to germinate with the grow lights and heating mats, then move into the next seed section to grow, then a hardening station, then into their final resting (growing) place - a container. If anyone knows of a growing station video I can build to go from seed to 'container ready' please post a link! TY. I've been collecting pallets I'm going to paint for hanging containers to grow vertical so I can use those too. Happy growing everyone 💖

From the pink lady...once again I say thank you for this vid. I tried lettuce last year from store bought starts. Eating until they bolted from the heat. This year I purchased seed from Baker Creek and will be trying from scratch. So this vid was perfect for my next garden venture.

Thank you guys. HAVE A HAPPY AND BLESSED NEW YEAR

I like how he pay attention to detail and he really gives his plants great care. Thank you

Hello and thanks from France. Great! I start with containers at the moment because it's not allowed to go to my garden due to this little virus.

oh wow that little indoor seed starting hutch is so cool! I’m going to try growing some lettuce your way. I’ve tried before and they either never sprout or they do but get eaten by bugs. Never knew of the cinnamon trick. Thanks!

Excellent video. Hollis you are wonderful instructor. Nancy your camera work and editing is outstanding. I am really enjoying these videos. Thanks for your hard work.

I like the container idea. You all answered my question if you get more harvest from the lettuce. Thanks!

Thanks for the cinnamon tip. I have a lot of trouble with that in my humid climate.

Great info..timely during these days of quarantine...great tip off using cinnamon as anti fungus.super

This really encourage s one to go plant lettuce.

I have truly enjoyed this video and all your tips. You have a warm inviting personality and teach in a simplified way. I believe I can now grow lettuce. Thanks for sharing my friends. God bless you and your lovely wife.

Never knew that about lettuce. Thought once you picked it, the plant was done. Love your bucket garden. Gonna have to try something like that this year.

Thank you so much, Hollis and Nancy, for a very comprehensive video. I plan to grow lettuce, from seeds, this fall. It will be my first time ever growing lettuce and your video has given me the confidence to begin! Blessings.

Beautiful ! Thank you for sharing you guys are such a blessing! that really helps as I started growing veggies in containers. I just planted lettuce seeds 4 days ago. I gonna go and grab a cinnamon powder now and sprinkle it on them 😍 Please keep safe and let’s all stay healthy!

Great video from beginning to end. Your voice was pleasingly listen to listen to and your transition for the different days and time periods were well delivered.

I really appreciate your step by step guide covering seed to harvest - very nice videography too. Really well done. refreshing. Not just talk. I can actually take this video & go out & plant without any questions. Thank you.

Thanks for this video showing progress. I appreciate the time and effort put into it.

You guys are so sweet and informative! Thanks for the advice with the cinnamon, worked like a charm!

Thanks so much for these videos. Last year was the first time I was able to grow lettuce from seeds thanks to your video. Showing everything from start to finish is so helpful. Starting on year #2 now!

Youre my favorite gardening resource I've ever found! Very thorough and helpful without a lot of unnecessary information. Thank you!

God bless you all, hope the new homestead is going great

The whole time you're doing that video I knew you were a Godly Man and you're a lifesaver 2 because I have been trying to figure out how to get this Lettuce grown for three years now no videos from seed to show me how to do this so I've been trying to figure it out on my own unsuccessfully. So thank you God bless you.

I have used chamomile tea as a fungicide. Never fails. Put a chamomile tea bag in boiling water. Let steep. Transfer to a spray bottle and spray the little seedlings as they come out.

We live in nj and are in the woods with minimal sunlight and space. Wood chips around our plants has been able to keep diseases down which has been a problem in past gardens. We love fresh salads knowing where our plants come from. We use raised beds made of plastic recycled drums and grow organic. The raised bed we made on the ground became ensnarled with tree roots and now the beds are on legs. We love your informative videos and your compassion for life and gardening. We will be trying romaine first time this year. Go with God, Robert and Wendy

Thank you for the cinnamon tip...

You have explained so much of why some things I planted was not fruitful! You have saved me time & effort & money!!! Bless y’all!😇

Hi, thanks for this tutorial....this is going to help me so much! I have got seed starting down, but my failures start happening when the little veg starts go outside. I like how you implement low cost supplies and methods. I'm a new subber! You go at just the right speed and right amount of detail for someone trying to learn! Not everybody had parents who could pass on skills....I really appreciate you!

Started my seeds last week. Beautiful gardens and video. Blessings

Best lettuce growing video I’ve seen, simply explained and thorough. Thank you!

Your videos are the best. The way you put the growth progression together is so helpful for the people that don't have a green thumb. I have never been able to grow anything but I've kept at it and I believe I will be successful this year. I did start a lemon tree from seed but I had to have my dad come over & transplant it for me into a bigger pot 😉 This spring I'll find out if I succeeded at keeping it alive through the winter. Thank you, thank you, thank you and God bless you both 🙏🏻

I just wanted to say first I'm going to purchased some romaine lettuce seeds... And then look for some blood meal to add to the seeds... I am so glad that the both of you are teaching this.... Once my garden grows I will certainly let you know about the progress and how it turns out. May God continue to bless the both of you and your channel...

I just love your videos. So informative. You have such a beautifully organized garden, would you mind showing us a floor plan of your set up.😊

Really like how you edit your videos, so many people make them in one continuous filming and never show any updates, or if they do it’s in separate video. Good job.

I love how you show the progression through the weeks!! Excellent video. Thank you!!

Love this website. Very instructional. Love that they are Christians and that they leave you with a blessing.

Looks wonderful! With it being about 20° and snow flying, I'm a tiny bit jealous. Lol. Blessings!

As always, everything simply explained and friendly, easy to understand advice. Thank you for showing me how to grow lettuce. Hope all is well with you and your loved ones.

I watched you last year and had fresh salads all spring early summer and fall. You guys teach me so much thanks. God Bless

Sir, thank you for sharing. Your way of gardening promises 100% in return. You and your wonderful wife are such an inspiration and am so happy I found your tubes. Please keep them coming..... I will be gardening "Hollis" way!

You are the master! Looking forward to growing lettuce your way. Thank you for showing us how!

I'm learning a lot from you and a few others. Just need someone to help with building the tables and moving things back and forth everyday. Takes lots of care and I have a bum knee and my back is out again. Having been active all my life, this really blows.

I was just thinking that I need advice on growing lettuces and spinach...And this video appeared as soon as I opened KZfaq! Praise The Lord! And I give Thanks to Nancy and Hollis 🙏💖🙏 I have seed potatoes growing in 5 gal containers per your videos 💖🙏 I REALLY, REALLY appreciate your videos with sketches (potatoes part 1 and 2!💖) They are incredibly helpful for people like me who tend to overthink things and always have a million questions. Your discussion, drawings and time progression videos always satisfy! Thank you so very much for all your hard work. Many people will be saved from the coming famine because of you and Nancy. God Bless You Both! ✝️👑🕊🙏✨💖

So happy to have found your channel! Just starting a garden this year for the first time and already killed the lettuce. Learned a lot. My lakes doing great but I’m going to try again with the lettuce. Thanks a lot 😃 God bless :)

12:51 Amendments: 3rd reclaimed soil, 3rd manure, 3rd peat, bonemeal, nitrogen and lime. 2 Tablespoons bloodmeal per pot.

BTW, this is my new favorite channel! Didn’t know about the cinnamon. Great tip!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I don't just like your videos, I just love them! I've learned so much from your videos. I love your style and how much you put into your instruction. Thank you again for all your hard work!

Awwwwww! Bing Bing wants to help his Daddy and Mama plant that lettuce. Bing Bing looks like he likes all the goodies Daddy is planting. I love when people include their animals in their videos. ❤

I planted lettuce years ago & it was such a joy watching it grow & it was perfect size for me to harvest. I planned to harvest it after my son’s piano recital & when I returned from the recital, I was DEVASTATED to find my lettuce 🥬 completely eaten by some critter. It felt as like I was robbed. That incident has led me to give up on gardening. How do you keep the critters from eating your beautiful lettuce. Love your videos.

I know this is an older video. But this has been hands down very helpful from seedlings to harvesting that I had a questions about. Thank you!

Amen!! Thx for sharing. I'm in zone 6 and almost ready to copy you in my tiny backyard. God bless

I start most of my veggies from seed. Have for many years. Never have I heard of using cinnamon to combat fungus!! I was actually noticing my seed pods the other day smelling like a fungus. Awesome tip!! And the chopsticks! Another helpful tip! Thanks and God bless!

I love the chop stick idea. I put depth markes on mine. Great setup.

You can benefit from exercising while doing it . Bending and stretching is good for your joints . i like your reusing containers for different things .i like the chopsticks idea cinnamon 🤔thanks for all the tips 👍🏻enjoy your salad 😋

Thank you Hollis and Nancy for all you do each year I try to reach out to content providers and let them know how much I appreciate their work it helps in so many ways in the garden and beyond the garden, You always remind me to give thanks and who is really in control of how well my garden does and I thank you for that its easy in the middle of all the chaos to forget to stop and give thanks or let my pride get in the way and take all the glory for myself . I hope you know just how blessed and rare the 2 of you are God has truly blessed you both

Really enjoyed the video, and even more because you included God in the process......Thank You , and God Bless

Love everyone of your tutorials so far. They have proven very useful. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work. Bless you. By the way I love the little pooch. She's adorable.

where do you find all of your containers! you have quite the collection

Thank you and God bless you both for teaching the world how to slow down and grow your own foods organically. I've watched this video quite a few times and started my trifecta of red romaine, Paris Island romaine and butter crunch just the way you taught it. After getting through some early leggy issues all of my plants are looking amazing and I'm getting ready to transplant them to 5 quart containers for their final journey to the salad bar. Your neighbors are lucky to have a wonderful couple that exemplifies God's love to the world. God is great! I like your boat too!

@hollisandnancy LOVELY! THANK YOU Brother & Sister for teaching us how to feed ourselves and our neighbors. Amen.

I'm from iran and i like you very much good luck every day.

I learned something new about cinnamon being a natural fungicide. Thank you, I started my seeds about three weeks ago. I hope it’s not too late to add the cinnamon.

You two are precious! Thank you for taking the time to remind us how to successfully plan and grow a garden.

The first I love from your videos is the prayer. God is love.

I just discovered you guys. Love your personality and your set up you have there. My lettuce has holes from bugs eating the leaves. I am trying to figure this gardening stuff out. 😏 I came across your video and I really like how easy you make it look. But I also see how organized you are. Great job!

Thank you for the cinnamon tip, thanks for the video

Thanks for the detailed tips. It is obvious that you have a heart to share valuable knowledge that makes the inexperienced growers more successful. God bless you +your lovely wife , sir.

thank you for all the effort put into sharing your knowledge and encouragement. You're a blessing for us all
