Hi Kim! 👋🏼 just wondering about your seed collections.. are they mixed or in their own packets so we know what seed is what? TIA
Sorry also what kind of fabric are the fabric pots made of?
They are all in their own (beautiful) packets - visit my website calikimgardenandhome.com just by checking things out may give you some insights, too.
Virigin Wolf hair, organic fabric (proprietary) designed for plants and vegetables...hope this helps!
Great stuff! I have been on a binge with your videos today at work and I cannot wait to do work in the garden when I get home tonight 👊🏻🌻👊🏻
That is awesome! This is no doubt comment of the day !! Great to have you - please tell me you've subscribed and like the video?? (I can't tell). Where are you and what are you growing? Great to have you - CaliKim
I live in Central Texas and we have already been over 80 degrees and then back down to high 40’s. It’s crazy.
Crazy isn’t it? So.Calif. Same way!! Weather is not like it used to be … predictable!
I really love watching your videos, whether it be for the educational content or just for the good vibes. It always looks so calm and beautiful in your garden, and makes me look forward to the sunnier months here in the colder climates
Thank you so much....this really made me feel good inside, Naomi because that is exactly what we hope to do on this channel. Please continue to enjoy. You made my day, CaliKim
Great video! I’ll miss the Livestream tomorrow (I’m having surgery to fuse my cervical spine.) Please give my best to everyone!
Will keep you in prayers tomorrow, Julie! Thank you!!
Good luck, my Dear!
You remind me of the Father's Day freeze where I live in west-central Wisconsin. I returned from visiting my parents in northern Minnesota to find the leaves of my summer squash killed. Bush beans germinate poorly unless the soil is warmed up in late May. Cold, damp soil encourages insects to eat the seeds as they sprout. They require so much space that it is impractical to start them indoors. I started lettuce & Swiss chard indoors & transplanted them into a raised bed in mid-April. I also planted seeds of carrots, beets, kale & rutabaga.
Wow, that sounds brutal!!! Great fact about the cold, damp, soil, too. Thank you so much for sharing that! And, great work out there in the garden!! CK
This was a learning experience I enjoyed watching
Glad you enjoyed it and I hope that you'll stick around and watch some more, Crystal. Where (generally) are you and what are you growing right now? Kim
Welcome back! Loved the video. Right on time. We’re getting some cold weather in N Texas but it will pass soon. Starting my cukes and squash in pots, beans are already sprouting! Have a great day! 🌱
Already!!!!??? Becky that is awesome, I love your energy and feel so fortunate to have you following along! CK
Hello I’m in Texas too 1st time gardener I already have cucumbers, squash, zucchini, and peppers seedlings working indoors which should be ready to plant in April. What else can I start right now? It gets extremely hot in the June-Aug months sometimes triple digits
I’m so excited to be starting seeds that I purchased from Cali Kim…❤ Even though we are expecting more snow here in southern Colorado, you always know how to get us excited about growing and summer!
MaryAnn, I LOVE your energy !!!!! We had rain while filming this video! We'll get our sun, right? Kim
@@CaliKim29
Very soon! 🥰
Thank you so much!! Great info.. by the way your wardrobe is fine! You look great! Blessings!
*wink. You are welcome for the info! Thank you for watching...CK
Good job saving bolting flowering plants for the bees, my dinosaur kale is flowering and all the bees love it while most flowers are all seedlings .
Sounds great!
Thanks for all the wonderful tips & encouragement for beginners. You have a lovely vegetable garden.
My pleasure 😊 and thank YOU for watching and taking time to say hello! CK
Welcome back, Kim and CG! I bet y’all are missing Hawaii😊. Great video and can’t wait to get stuff outside. I started my beans and peas, the peas from your collection and the beans from dried ones I bought for cooking. The peas popped out of the soil less that 24 hours after sowing😲
Yes, we are but it is also good to be back in our own place, you know that feeling?
You have no idea how much joy you bring, Myriam. LOVED this comment....Keep it going-you inspire others.
Thank you for this video, I live for date-specific advise! 👍🏾🙏🏾👍🏾🐝
Any time! I love it!!! CK
Hi! I wanted to let you know how much I love your videos!!! I'm going to plant my seedlings (your kitchen grocery store mix) into my planter bed this week. Your videos are so clear, informative, and entertaining. I have also planted nasturtiums around my garden because of you. I just have one question. I have the vermisterra vitality liquid. I was wondering if this is different from the worm tea you always talk about. Thanks for answering and thanks for all the great content you make. You have inspired me so much and I am having so much fun learning to garden. As a stay at home mom of 3 young kids, its the perfect hobby.
Yes, they are different - put simply, the Vitality is a more powerful form of the tea. They both are good.. but the Vitality packs more punch. If you can budget Vitality, I suggest it highly! Hoe this helps and THANK YOU for your wonderful compliments...comments like yours really inspire to keep on doing what we're doing. Km
Hi Kim, I’m grew up in So Cal and miss it every time I watch your videos ❤ now that I am in the Rocky Mountains I have to wait sooooo long to get the garden going - our last frost date is late May! We have had snow the first week in June also. This makes gardening challenging! Dying to start my seeds but I’ll have to wait about another month. So in the meantime I will keep loving your videos and dreaming of home.
How interesting, I grew up in Lakewood, CO.and I'm the one in So. Cal ... So I completely get it. Are on the Western Front? Have you considered growing indoors under grow lights?
Thanks for watching and hopefully subscribing as well. CK
@@CaliKim29 happy subscriber! Every year i mean to try grow lights then i get distracted and boom it’s May 😂 i know Lakewood well!
Great video!! Thank you for sharing these tips and reminders!
Glad it was helpful! What are you growing and where (generally)?
Love your videos.💜
Thank you so much! CK
I am in California and I am starting my veggie pod this week, thanks for the information. I do have some of your pots that I will be growing my herbs in. 👍🏾
Sounds great! How are you liking your Veggie Pod? CK
@@CaliKim29 love them I brought 2 but my cucumbers and tomatoes go in my cloth pots, love them too👍🏾
0:47 🤯🤯 They got that big in only 5 days?!?! My jaw literally dropped!!
Yes. Craaazzzy. (But this is so fun, too, right, Kristin?). CK
Kim, did you know that the USDA just changed some hardiness zones across the country? They evidently re-evaluate the zones every 10 years. We went from 8a to 8b in upstate SC.
It would be fun to see you grow some artichokes in your garden. They are supposed to be perennials here and I'd love to have a bunch growing and producing every year I didn't need to plant every year.. The hearts taste so yummy and they are really good for your liver. I bet they'd be a candidate for one of your large grow bags
Yes, Emily, was aware of the zone changes! As far as artichokes, yah, a 20 gal. bag or bigger may do the trick! Okay, I'll keep them in mind !!! : )
Awesome garden. Great video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching and your kind words!!! Are you gardening right now and if so from where (generally), Randy?
@CaliKim29 Thank you as well. I have around 15 indoor hydroponic systems, and yes, I keep them growing year round .I live in Tennessee, and my neighborhood does not allow gardens per the HOA. Thanks again, and I hope you have a wonderful day. 😊
That is AMAZING!!!! That would be something to see for sure! Wonderful day to you,, as well.
I love this time of year! It is also helpful to get my seedlings out of the house, according to my children, lol!
That's too funny - yes, I love this time of year, too. Just ask CameraGuy!! LOL!!! Les' Gooooooo
Thanks for the great tips
No problem! CK
Have you ever grown Chinese Green Long Beans? The beans can grow up to 2 feet long! I'm trying them out this year. Also I'm growing Suyo Long Cucumbers which are parthenocarpic and don't need to be pollinated and last year they grew like crazy.! I'm also hopefully going to get some fennel bulbs. I just planted some seeds outdoors in different locations and gardens. So we shall see....
No, I haven't. Sounds like fun over there, Emily!! Do keep me posted - this sound interesting. What fun....CK
I’m loving parthenocarpic cucumbers! I grew beit alphas last year and was so happy with the harvest.
I thought I was the only one that transplanted beans.
*wink. CK
I am a long way from being able to plant or sow anything in my garden. Zone 6a, but 5900’ elevation, northern California last frost date June 20, this morning it was 10F.
Holy moly! That’s a short growing season like Alaska or something.
@@VeryGreenly yes, exactly. It’s taken me many years to fully understand how to garden up here, and I’m still learning.
Hi kim my peppers seed are getting big and my pear seeds also getting big for the first time ever😊
That's great, Keith! I am so excited for you!!! Thanks for the update! Proud of you - CK
Love your garden! We're getting our vegetable garden going here in Missouri, and making videos to share it all. Looking to connect with other gardeners to learn tips and share how it all turns out! :)
That is awesome! 👏🏻 keep us all posted! I’m sure others will chime in. CK
My greens are doin grrrreat! We are probably a few weeks behind you temp & weather wise up here in the 831. I didn't know Runner Beans perennialize! I'm off work this week, I hope there's a Monday livestream 🌱
Yepper, we are ON tomorrow !! Greatt to hear on your greens - keep it going !!! CK/CG
Always love your videos. I ordered the seeds and can’t wait to get them. Question…what kind of soil do you use?
I save my soil and reuse it. I refresh the soil before I reuse though - Search my channel page (click on my pic) and search for 'refresh' or 'recharge' . Hope that helps - great to have you. Kim
Kim I definitely have lots of vegetables growing In my garden I started a kale plant about two years ago and It's still going strong so you have any beets growing I love beets that's one thing I still have not planted yet I built a new garden bed this year I plan on growing my tomato plants there .
How exciting, Jackie! That's always fun! You are an awesome gardener...CK
i have this collection
Perfect!!! What and where are you growing? And I presume you've subbed and are following? Great to have you and thank you for supporting ! CaliKim
I want to be your friend. I saw your video until the end and I have L, C, S. Complete package. Always happy greetings.
❤❤❤👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Thank you 🤗
The bush bean variety i have says the last month to plant for this year is February. We have super hot dry summers here. Any variety you'd recommend?
Hi Amy - Strike bush bean variety are known for their excellent heat tolerance, resiliency in drought conditions and prolific producers those heat conditions, as well as for producing tender, flavorful pods. Hope this helps. CK
😂😂😂The dog looks bored! like, not this again. 😂😂😂
LOL, so true! He is so chill for a border-collie. You said it perfectly!! Thank you for watching. What are you growing right now? CaliKim
I love squash and grew some last year but had lots of squash bugs. What to do about those?
Ugh. I get it..ugh again, LOL! A few things you can do...
Handpick them off.
Try Neem Oil, Diatomaceous Earth, Organic Sprays, use Row Covers, to name a few! Research these keeping your garden in mind and select the one that suits you best. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you, Cecelia. Keep us all posted. CK
Nice and exciting video. Do you ever have a problem with slugs, snails or cut-worms ??? How do you deal with cut-worms ?? Do you think horticultural corn meal kills them as well as make the soil healthier ???
I haven't had cut worms or snails. I did have slugs but used Monterey Lawn & Garden Sluggo Plus and it worked great!
I can't honestly speak to cut-worms and the corn meal claims...Sorry about that! CK
@@CaliKim29 I thickly spread organic cornmeal from the grocery store and it actually worked against slugs ! , they dried out and one exploded when I picked it up, ugh. Anyhow, I know it made a big difference for me as my seedlings are sprouting and staying put without being demolished. I will use a lot of this cornmeal as a barrier to protect precious seedlings right away when I put garden vegetable seeds in the beds and ground. We also have pocket gophers which is another pest, any help controlling them ? I heard baking soda mixed with corn meal will kill them.Thanks for your reply.
Yes, that's correct! Baking soda mixed with cornmeal can be an effective natural remedy for controlling slugs. Just sprinkle the mixture around areas where slugs are active, but be mindful not to apply it directly to your plants (of course). CK
Love your channel! I'm a fledgling patio gardener, so I have an embarrassing question. What is the difference between 'green beans' and pole beans vs bush beans?? I want to grow green beans for the table, but I'd also like to grow 'beans', i.e. pinto beans, etc. I honestly can't tell the difference when looking at the pictures on seed packets. 🎋
Great to have you following along! Each of these different type of beans can be green, as well as other colors. Read on and see if this helps? Not an embarassing question at all -
Green beans, pole beans, and bush beans are all types of beans but DIFFER in their growth habits and characteristics.
Green beans, also known as snap beans or string beans, are the general term used to describe the immature pods of various bean plants that are harvested and eaten before the seeds inside have fully matured.
Pole beans are a type of bean plant that grows as a climbing vine. They require support structures such as poles, trellises, or other vertical supports to grow upwards. Pole beans produce longer vines and tend to bear beans continuously throughout the growing season. They can yield a larger harvest but require more space and support
Bush beans are another type of bean plant that grows in a more compact, bushy form. They do not require support structures and tend to stay more compact, making them suitable for smaller gardens or container gardening.
Hope this helps! CK
Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me! I'd love to see you do a video on these details if you don't already have one up? I've been following your channel for a couple of years, and don't recall seeing one on only beans per se, lol. I didn't know the part about immature pods being the 'green beans' version. I'd love to see examples of best timing on that because I think I waited too late last year (grew pole and bush). PS - you and my best friend could be twins. I shared your channel with her and she was shocked, lol. @@CaliKim29
I'll keep that video in mind! Too funny about your bff!!
Im not surw if i. Growing samquash becase of the bugs they bring. What do you do to prevent boring bugs
I'm not quite following...can you try and rephrase that question, please? Thanks! CK
Squash bugs
Hi i tried to order from your web but their is no worldwide shipping option
Unfortunately, we are not worldwide, quite yet! CK
How many and what plants do you have in that pot?
Jacqueline, I am so sorry for missing this comment/question. Can you please be more specific ? Thank you !!! CaliKim
What zone are you in? Cheers
Zone 9/10 (Los Angeles area). How about yourself, Sara? Are you growing anything right now? Thank you for following and subscribing! I hope you are enjoying the channel - CaliKim
What if you dont have grow lights. From Tucson..
You can use regular light bulbs.
You can place them by a sunny window (won't be as effective as grow lights) but chances are your plants will then become leggy.
Unfortunately, a regular light bulb will not help at all.
Be sure to watch my Grow Lights Way Easier Than You Think CaliKim (search the title) video ...it may inspire you to get grow lights! (All links are included,too) Keep me posted. CaliKim
Unfortunately, they do not work as a grow light-CK
Do you have to pay to subscribe you have an awesome Channel
No, you do not! Go for it!!! And let me know you subscribe, Stephanie! LMK, too, if you are gardening right now and where from! Would be GREAT to have you - CaliKim
This isn’t for any climate. It’s still snowing in Chicago and we are wearing coats.
Good’ol Chi-town!! Hang in there !
@@CaliKim29 I’m trying!! It’s so cold today! I wanted to plant my irises, day lilies, peonies, Columbine and bleeding hearts since they can withstand the cold but I can’t. 😆
I don't do 'cold' well either - CK
Maybe rethink your wardrobe.
Maybe rethink what you post on the internet.
What? Be gone Troll 🧌
