    It's nice to see that you've been able to build a business around something you love. I know I could not have grown the first edible thing without your help. Since starting around the first of April I now have three Greenstalks and 20 grow bags full of veggies. My neighbors are dropping by just to see what is going on over here:) Even though I live in Northeast Florida our virtual consultations have been invaluable. Looking forward to your next three years and another 100 videos!!

    Wow! Congrats on your 100th video! I've learning so much about organic veggie gardening. Though I'm new at it, it always seems when I'm a bit down because I killed my seeds (yes, I think it's overwatering, lol) along comes another video that cheers me up and keeps me motivated to continue. Keep up the fantastic teaching!

    Hate to keep adding stuff on your board, but just had to leave update, I'm that excited about those plants.
    Your live plants are SUCH a great deal, I can't get over it. The 6 strawberry runners are growing leaves, and should be moving into full sun in a day or two. The "extra" 7th has not given up, and I may just end up with 7 strawberry plants for the price of 6!
    For anyone out there who use curry leaves, the live curry plant I picked up is at least 1 year old, and is NOT a cutting, but had a rhyzome that was impressive, and had a 6" sucker growing from the base. Compared to plants in Indian groceries when available at 3X the price, Elise's plant was healthier, fuller, ... I separated and transplanted, and both mother and baby currry are doing great. Thanks!
    Hi, Elise,
    Just picked up my order of plants and seeds, and wow! They do not disappoint! Strawberry runners are so fat, and 4 were already growing leaves; going to get them in container ASAP. And thanks for the video on how to plant; that was so thoughtful.
    The live plants, most of which were labeled "small" on your website, are really good sized specimens; crazy values compared to the last price increases at the Big Box stores on vegetable starts, not to mention the hard-to-find varieties that you offer. Initially, my Okinawan spinach looked a little stressed, but it is perking right up in the shade on my lanai - so that will get some TLC while I pot up everyone else.
    Thanks again for another great batch of plant babies, looking forward to them doing their thing.

    I loved your 100th video! and that you decided to take us in a journey of your world. I love that you do online consultations. I have been kind of lost as to how to build my garden. All I know is that I would love to harvest the vegetables I buy the most in the store on a weekly basis. I have the idea, the want, the need, the passion. Just need a bit of guidance and now I know I can reach out to you! thanks!

    Happy Friday Urban Harvest. Once again, another excellent video with spectacular production values. You simply couldn't be more correct in recommending that it makes sense for people who live in an urban environment to convert their yards into gardens, with so many edible weeds and flowers available - like dandelion, purslane, Sheep Sorrel, Purslane, Chickweed - and it's of course so much better to preserve our limited sustainable resources. That being said, have a wonderful weekend and of course thank you for sharing. 😊😊

    Congratulations! Love all your videos. Just started watching them this past spring and has encouraged me to get back into gardening after so many fails and giving up. Vermont gardening was too easy, toss the seeds and everything just grew! 😂 Not so much here. Still working on building decent ground beds. However my greenstalk I purchased with your code is doing beautifully as well as my grow bags. I really want to have a greenstalk strawberry garden but struggle finding the right bareroot varieties for 10A at the right time of year. (Does planting time matter?) 😅
    My bare backyard now has 2 Barbados cherry trees, 2 mulberry trees, and I started with one dwarf banana plant (thanks to you) and it keeps having babies (what a gift) now I’m up to 5 in only just 4 months! I bought dwarf Moringa seeds from baker creek and have a few in pots now. I struggle finding content on the dwarf variety. I appreciate you keeping your new community off social media! I will look into joining ❤. (Any recipe sharing with things that are homegrown is appreciated. I’m having fun growing but unsure of how to use some of it 😅😂)
    Thank you for everything that you do!

    • @TheUrbanHarvest
      @TheUrbanHarvest  2 года назад

      For moringa you can dry the leaves and use them in tea or use the raw leaves in other recipes for pesto, smoothies, even salads. So glad that you enjoy the content and thank you for supporting it!

    Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your life. I enjoy your videos and online classes, they are always informative and inspiring, in fact, I have some shiitake mushrooms growing in my laundry room right now! I also have planted some of the seeds I purchased from you, and things are growing along. But, the best in life is your precious family, and it is understandable that they need to come first, especially when time is fleeting. Having said that, I do look forward to your next 100 videos!

    • @TheUrbanHarvest
      @TheUrbanHarvest  Год назад

      Standing water can be very challenging for many fruit trees to establish in. Have you tried berming the soil to make little raised islands of sorts so that there was better drainage? Also try elderberry, it thrives in that description. Not necessarily a true fruit tree but wonderful plant medicine...

    Elise do you have a video on helpful bugs in the garden example Brahminy Blind Snake, aka Flowerpot Snake. I had never seen one before. I found one in my garden and removed it. I am praying it survived. Would feel horrid if I killed it. It eats eggs from termites, and ants.

    How do you keep squirrels, birds, rats and other rodents away from your fresh harvest?

    • @TheUrbanHarvest
      @TheUrbanHarvest  Год назад +1

      Rascals get into everything! Squirrels are typically going for bare soil more than the seed or plant itself. Try covering the area loosely with chicken wire so they cant easily get to the soil. Overturned buckets and other obstructions can help to. Try to keep the beds as full as possible to minimize the attractiveness.
