Garden tour Mid-May of Vegetable Gardens growing in Totes, Containers, Flower Pots and in the Ground, and of course, as I COMPOST in PLACE, (always tips and ideas as We go through). Things are changing, Food is growing, birds are breeding and eating our pesty insects. he New Driveway Garden is taking off in just weeks, Front yard garden, main garden and back garden is coming along. Squash and zucchini are taking off, setting up in the ground and in all kinds of contains, papayas are growing so big, and we get to eat them all week now, Peppers are flowering, tomatoes going great, lettuce we eat daily and so much more. The greens are still going strong, lots of kale, Swiss Chard, Purple Broccoli, Papaya plants and Papaya fruit, collard, purple tree collard, garlic chives, parsley, Chocolate Mint, strawberry mint, peppermint, and orange mint, herbs, lettuce, red vein sorrel, green sorrel, walking onions, and now the tomatoes, peppers, celery, moringa tree, radishes, sage, sweet stevia, peppers, oregano, thyme, basil, ginger, turmeric, squash, zucchini and so more vegetables are growing now. Solar fountains all over, bring in nature and birds. And even a military fly over today of the Thunderbirds, what a site, I wonder what the Cooper Hawks with babies thought.

Hi Robbie! I was a gardener for 30 years and a beekeeper for 13 years. I became ill and had to give up both. When I cannot be active, I watch your long videos! It is like being back in the garden. I appreciate all your videos (long and short). Not only are your tote gardens ingenious; but your plant recommendations and health comments are super healing. Thank you a million times!

My last cat was a broccoli lover... lol had to laugh at the pup eating broccoli. Love this tour. It shows me that almost anything can grow in a container. Whether you eat everything or not, you're getting great joy from the planting and growing all these wonderful plants. Like flowers, we don't necessarily eat everything we grow. The story about your daughter giving away plantings and vegis, is great. She's teaching her world to grow things. I just found you, and have watched a couple videos. I just love what you're doing. Hope I can do a little too. Thanks for teaching us how you do it.

Robbie, I just emptied a second tote to use the compost in it for the green vegetables. I have a lot of kitchen scraps, "prunings" and "sweepings" to start them up again but no soil to use in between the layers. I may have to dig up some somewhere in my tiny yard because where we live Walmart won't deliver bagged soil. But I tell you, it's so much fun building up the totes! Eating from my garden I lost 4 lbs. in 2 weeks. Grateful!

Once I get the things set up (hopefully by the end of this next week, since I live in New York), I will maybe be able to send some pictures, maybe even from my 'fledging channel', time will tell. Always enjoy your videos and your enthusiasum. God Bless and have a great weekend. Sherry :)

I didn't know hummingbirds liked geraniums! They are treated as annuals in northern Illinois where I live. I've tried to over winter them a few times but had no luck. I did have some wild geraniums but no idea if they are still alive. We've been having a lot of rain here and my other lot is flooded with the neighbor's sump water. It's difficult for me to get around as it is so I'm missing out on blooms for sure.

Or use leaves and branches and the food scraps the raccoon won’t eat in the tote. Then use Robbie’s double pot method for all the other food scraps: slightly bury a pot, out in kitchen scraps, etc, then put another pot with a plant into the scraps pot. You can lift the small plant pot to add more scraps. The top plant could be something pungent, like onions, chives, other herbs.

Hi Robbie hand Gary, I remember you doing a video regarding cleansing your Moringa trees in cardboard containers while not cardboard but paper cups and little cartons I can't remember if you did a milk carton or like oat milk carton they have a lot of wax on them but I'm wondering if they would work for me to transplant my moringa tree into and then put in the ground when it gets a little bigger? Will the cart and break down enough because of the wax on the carton?. I love your videos and I am making more and more of memes for my garden. I do have a hard time walking and have to get around most of the time in a wheelchair so this makes gardening a little difficult for me but if I get time away from family and grandchildren then I like to get out there and work in my Tubbs. I had made soil the way you do in a pot and it has sat for about four months and I kept watering it. I live in 9B Glendale Arizona and I pruned my grapes and my fake trees for the very first time after planting them the spring before they were tell dormant. I trim them and left only a couple of little leaves and cut them in half. I did not put any rooting hormone on them. I did scratch a little line in the very bottom about 1/2 inch. Stuck them in this black pot with the dirt that had been sitting there for a while of course I kept it watered. I also had a 5 gallon bucket that I had built soil and and I stuck the other big cutting and grape vine cuttings in it along with some grape vine cuttings in one of my tubs that was about a year old. They all have grown very very well. I Love Your Way of gardening. It is something I can do for myself. While the raised beds that we have my granddaughter tends to them. Thank you for all of your gardening tips dedication

@yeevita 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, Robbie (I do also) hunts wild worms. However, since we all know what worms want to eat, just put your compost container on the dirt. Water it and check periodically. When you see worms under the container, there are probably also worms inside the container. You can also grab any worms you see when you lift the pot. Then put the pot elsewhere or spread the stuff inside the pot around and repeat. You will have tons of worms.

I was incredibly disappointed with Malabar spinach. Yes, I do think it's a beautiful plant but it becomes very weedy with the seeds. Is much as I used the seeds 4 dye oh, it's still receded itself like crazy which wouldn't be a problem if I liked it but the fleshy leaves are very slimy unless you get them very very young and I just did not like it at all to eat. I think it's a vile plant. And I had heard so much about it, but I don't think people have eaten it. And then Asian Cuisine they use the very young shoots and those are the only part that I have found edible the rest of it was just a waste of growing in space.
