    I seen your last year video on this about a month or so ago. I tried it and I really loved it. I didnt know about the bowl covers. I thought it was shower caps. So I got the shower caps which looks the same. It worked exactly the same way. Thanks for your hard work teaching us. Like other people comments, I wish you were my neighbor. Love you and every one and many blessings to each of you nice people.

    Tessie I'm going to do this I have your seeds and I will be planting them using this method. I'm going to dollar tree today to look for those cover ups. Yesterday I cleaned up my yard had a lot of leaves and debris cleaned out a few pots getting ready to plant again. I'm going to get a few tomato plants this year as well as herbs. It sure is looking like spring here lots of things are poking through grass is greener though still a little chilly. I have little yellow flowers and snow drops growing nicely and some buds are coming up. I also cleaned up the garage reorganized a bit so I can find things I need. It's going to be a great year and I can't wait to get started to be out doors again soak up the sun and sit back and enjoy the warm weather watching the birds and enjoying the fruits of my labor. I still have the seeds I got from you two years ago I'll plant those as well. I'm looking forward to seeing more projects from you. I'm excited to see more planting videos and seeing what grows. I'll be making more videos too of my yard and of my projects I'll be working on I'm excited about that as well. I want to share more of my collections and what I am doing with them too. Loved the Dandelion seeds blowing in the beginning good informative video. Love you my sister:) Blessings to you and Ken:)

    Tessie...I grow lots of herbs, make tinctures and concoctions and such. I don't grow or brew with arnica. Be sure to know exact medicinal strengths of this if you decide to use it. I do purchase arnica in the tube and use it sparingly on a bad shoulder, but leave the preparation strengths of arnica to the professionals. Just my thoughts.

      Oh, I hope the Dollar Tree doesn't do that!! Where did you read this? What will they even call the store if they do go to that price ??!!

    Thank you for the tips Tessie. My first batch of seedlings dried out. I'll try your method next. Propagating is a piece of cake but starting from seeds is my challenge

    you have such a gift with this. Despite my studying your videos, saving tons of seed from last year, etc., I struggle so, to grasp these concepts of gardening. I feel frozen in fear to start this year. It just doesn't come natural to me. I pray The LORD gives me wisdom and understanding, so that I can tackle this and be successful.

    I just started my flower and herb garden, today after watching your video. I tried to be frugal, and use what we had so I planted all my seeds in insulated cups that I had punched drainage holes in, covered with plastic wrap and secured with a rubber band. My 13 year old and I had a lot of fun doing this on a warm, sunny day. They are all placed in my window sills with the exception of one batch of sage seeds which I took a plastic ice cream tub with a lid, and broadcast the sage seeds in that. I've never started anything from seed before so this will be a first! I followed all of your other steps and hoping things will germinate. Not sure if I should punch holes in the ice cream tub or not. It should get nice and warm with the lid attached though!

      If there is no holes just make sure you do not over water that is what I do!

    Tessie just getting to this video ;) I am running behind i am trying to.get my daughters medical records together for a very important appointment next Tuesday. If you could...please whisper her name in prayer. I will try to email you a what is going on. Thanks for all you share w us. I just forwarded this video to my niece. She will be 21 in May and this is right up her alley !!!! But I would rather see her interested in this that out on the street's. But she has always had a love for planting and growing thing's. Hope you had a great day. 🙋❤

    Hi Tessie👋🏾 I have started growing green onions on my counter and they are doing really well. I have them in water only which is great for me. Today I started Romaine lettuce in water. I don’t know if it could remain in water the whole time if it could that’ll be great too. What I want to know is if you’ll mind doing a video for growing vegetable inside and the type of soil to use. I saw the one you used but I’m curious of different kinds. I’m really curious and excited for my little crops.👏🏾I will be trying this method for my green bell pepper seeds I’ve dried myself.😁 thank you💜

    Do you ever use the farmers almanac? My neighbors use the farmers almanac a lot and plant by the signs as they call it. I've never understood the signs. Head, bowls, feet ect. ....no one has ever explained them to me. But the old timers down here won't do anything except by the signs.
