Hi Kim I cant wait to plant my pepper seeds ready also I cant wait starting get my compost ready in my compost sak🍅🥕🍉🍆🥔🌶🌶
You have yourself some very healthy and lush looking foliage Kim! Survived all your flooding rains rather well. Here the 2 critical things would be (1) wait on 3 feet of snow to melt off the garden space, and (2) then wait for the frost to come out! -Bob…
I just checked mine, and I can say from experience that my dates are… “optimistic”. 😂 But it’s ok, because the plan right from the start is to protect them in the spring and sometimes during that first fall cold snap as well.
Your enthusiasm is contagious!
Ole Mac ain’t got a worry in the world does he ?
I live in Texas. Weather is always a roller coaster. We've been unseasonably hot the past few days. So my cold weather plants are having it. Hopefully it will cool down again soon.
My last frost date is 8 weeks from now, so I just planted peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, corn, sunflowers, cantalope, beans, dill, chives and basil in cups, in a greenhouse.
I got my seed order several days ago from you Kim I well definitely be growing with you and I am looking forward to It
I live in Texas for the past two years we have had some hard freezes which means some of my plants died even my tomato plant that I was growing. So I probably won't start planting until March.
I really gotta get my grow lights set up. Just really lazy right now😂
My last spring frost is January 21 my first fall frost date is December 28 my growing season is 340 days looking forward to hearing from you soon
I love this new series! I found you the year of the pandemic and began gardening and I love it. I have been growing indoors this winter and am following along with your suggestions. Thank you co much. Colene from Colorado.
Great video Kim! Thank u
I noticed you have holes in your pants. I thought you were doing pretty good with your utube channel. Lol
