Thank you for your videos and recommendations. I’ve been a sub for awhile, but I’m moving to a place where I’ll need to switch from raised beds to containers, and your info is very helpful. 😄 Edit: Also, yes to the jalapeño poppers recipe, please!
That’s exciting I absolutely love growing in containers! Wishing you the best of luck with your new container garden 🪴 and jalapeño recipe will be coming soon!
Lovely garden and a beautiful harvest 🎉 would love to see the jalopeno poppers recipe! ❤
Thank you!! I’ll definitely work on a video or short showing my recipe! 😊
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm also a container balcony gardener with limited space. I learned from your channel about planting bush/dwarf varieties for vegetables.
Happy to help!! Good luck with your container garden ☺️🌱
I am happy to see you posting again. I follow your channel and it sadenned me I haven't seen anything new since your last post. Well, welcome back!
Thanks for bearing with me and continuing to follow along! I truly appreciate it 🫶🏻 I am in the process of moving this month so it’s been a busy few weeks but I will start posting again more consistently!
That is a beautiful Harvest 🍅🍓🥒🌶🌶❤❤.
Thank you!! 🥰
Nice and bountiful harvest. Would be interested in your jalapeño poppers recipe video.
Thank you!! I’ve gotten a few requests for it so I’ll definitely share the recipe soon! 😊
I have a hard time growing parsley any type on my aerogarden, I tried so many times and failed to sprout 😭 but my arugula and basil go crazy!!
How to clean milex power juicer
How do you companion plant in containers when their iant much room for the roots?
What an amazing video! Thank you!!!
Awe thank you so much!! 🫶🏻🌱☺️
What’s your opinion on cold press juices vs centrifugal juicers?
I love my Aerogarden, and have grown most of these! Great video! :)
Thank you!! 😊🌱
this is great and inspirational. i have been using aerogardens for years and yet i learned so much from you. thanks
Awe thank you I’m so glad to hear that! ☺️🫶🏻
what direction does your balcony face? your lettuce looks amazing and I was wondering how much sun it gets
My balcony is south-east facing. I get full sun all day basically, but one half of the balcony becomes shaded in the afternoon time, which is where I grow my lettuce plants and other leafy greens. They get anywhere from 4-5 hours of sunlight (morning sun followed by afternoon shade) depending on the time of year it is.
It’s looking great! Your cucumbers look well! You definitely have a green thumb. We had a lot of crazy downpours here in NE Ohio that turned most of my cucumber leaves yellow. 😢
@@user-fk2ds9sp5i thank you!! 🫶🏻🌱 sorry to hear about the rain, I’ve had a few days of heavy rain recently but all my plants seem to be holding up okay! 🤞🏻
Thank you so much for a well informed video. This will help me start my garden in my small pouch.
🫶🏻☺️🌱 good luck with your garden!
That is awesome! Great work!
Thank you!
New Subbie here! 😊 How often do you fertilize?
Happy to have you here! 😊🌱I fertilize my plants with an organic slow release fertilizer at planting time and then I apply again after about 4-5 weeks.
I love strawberry salad!! I really enjoy watching your videos ❤
Awe thank you so much!! 🫶🏻🥰
Great video what solid salad ideas which one was your favourite? Your very clear and concise great work keep it up!
Thank you!! So hard to choose, I loved them all! But the strawberry salad was super refreshing and different I’d highly recommend ☺️🥗
I love fruit and nuts in salads❤❤❤
Me too! Adds so much flavour and texture! ☺️🥬
Good stuff!❤️
Thank you!
You have so much variety growing that is pretty amazing thank you for this video ❤
Thank you!! 🫶🏻☺️🌱
so helpful thank you! when you mention companion planting- can you plant some of those herbs in the same containers as the vegetables or in separate containers in the vicinity of of one another? ( example basil in same planter as tomatoes ?) thanks!
Yes you can companion plant together in the same pot too! Tomatoes and basil work great together 😊
Thanks for sharing this information
Wow I like your garden . Your garden is so green and beautiful. But vegetable plants turning yellow. Do you have any idea, how can I help my plant 🌱 🪴
Thanks so much!! ☺️🫶🏻 if your plants are turning yellow and the soil feels moist, it’s typically caused by overwatering and providing too much water. If the leaves are turning yellow with brown tips, it could mean your plants don’t have enough water. I like to check using my fingers, simply stick your finger into the container a few inches deep and check the soil moisture. Only water when the top 2 inches feel dry to the touch.
Thank you! I enjoyed this
Aw I’m so glad! 😊🫶🏻 thanks for watching!
@@MindfulLivingA No problem🤗
I love your balcony garden. I tried last year with not much luck. Maybe I can learn from you to get it right. Thank you for sharing your video.❤
Thanks so much!! 😊🌱 every year is different in my garden and comes with different challenges but it’s such a rewarding process to grow your own food! I hope you try again and wishing you great success!
Nice!
Thanks Mike! 😊
What a great veriety of plants can’t wait to see how they all grow 🎉😊 that lettuce is huge!! 🥬
Definitely my biggest lettuces yet! 🥬
Looks great! 👍🏼
Thank you! 🌱
Awesome tour
Thanks so much!! 🌱☺️
I love blackberries. They are very easy to grow.
Can I grow it inside the lanai?
Great tips
Thank you so much!! 🌱
Enjoy very much 🇯🇲❤❤
Thank you!!
What do you do with the pulp?
Thank you for these informative videos ❤
Thanks for watching! ☺️🌱
Thanks for your differents ideas !
Love your videos ! I just started watching and it’s so nice to see someone actually gardening in a small space and on a budget . I am so confused on the math for spacing , the back of my arugula seeds say it needs 12 inches between rows, so I thought that meant only one plant per 12 inch container? I can see you have a lot more than that
Thanks so much!! I so appreciate that☺️🫶🏻 When growing in containers you can space your arugula seeds about 2 to 3 inches apart. The plants won’t grow as big but you will still get lots of leaves to harvest! This video is from a few years ago, but I still grow my arugula like this to this day! I typically like to plant about six to eight plants in one long container, and they have always grown really well even when spaced closer together.
Thank you ! I have the soil in a long container and am going to plant the seeds tomorrow . You explain everything so well and I love the layout of your channel😊😊 thank you for your reply
@alivefornow38 of course! Always happy to answer any questions! Good luck with your plants😊🌱
Can you do an episode on watering? This can be tricky when you leave in apartment
Definitely! I’ll look into doing a video on watering this summer 😊 feel free to ask any questions regarding this as well!
I am really appreciating watching your videos as I am just starting out with a balcony garden. I have found them to be very upbeat, informative, and soothing. I'm working my way through your gardening playlist. Thanks so much for all the work you've done to share this information. I also wanted to say that you can eat kale stems! I eat them all of the time and they are great. I cut the leaves off (can also do this by slicing down along the stalk, so that it more cleanly separates the leaves from the kale) and chop the stalks small separately. I then add them to a soup/sautée/roasted veg tray earlier than the leaves to allow them to soften more.
Awe thanks so much Nicole! ☺️🫶🏻That truly means so much to me!!Also thanks for the tip about kale stems, I’ll definitely have to try this!
Amazing Ally!!!! Your tips are always very educational and beneficial 🥬🌶️🍅
Thanks Lina!! ☺️🫶🏻
Great video a ton of great tips to garden on a budget thanks!!
😊🌱 thanks glad it was helpful!
I always enjoy your videos! What is your opinion on planters like the green stalk ? Would you ever spend that’s much on a planter ?
Thanks so much!! 😊🌱 I think the green stalk vertical planters are awesome! But personally, I don’t know if I’d be willing to spend that, maybe one day! Haha
So colourful...😋❤️
I've missed so many videos!
Stir frys here we come!😋❤️
Binge watching your Channel ❤
