Lots of wonderful varieties and categories of plants, Jay! Looking forward to see how it all goes for your garden, just take it one step at a time and the year will be gone in a blink I'm sure. Your pet visitors in the window were making me chuckle at times, looking out at us sweetly. Haha. 💚
We have 8 cats wandering around inside and out, plus a wonderful dog inside most of the time. We are a bit intimidated by the size of garden we are planning, but like you said, one step at a time.
We didn't either, until they started sprouting up where we were rinsing out the bucket we mixed them in with the molasses and bioworma! I was pleasantly surprised to be honest.
What a beautiful assortment of goodies to grow this year! One tip for the amaranth - as soon as the flowers on each stalk start to fade and drop off of each seed head, cover them in a tightly-woven mesh or small paper bag. Otherwise, the wild birds will harvest and wild-sow all your grain for you. (It can become invasive, too.) Keep an eye on the spots where you grew mint last year - even though it might look unalive right now, you'll likely have it come back in the same spot this year. Mint family are extremely hardy. I planted lemon balm years and years ago and let it grow wild right outside my front door. Hubby dug up the beds completely and moved the soil a couple of years ago, dumping it all in a pile because wild blackberries had also taken over. Well. I was beside myself, trying to see if any of the lemon balm had survived. I needn't have worried, as one TINY spot was missed and I was able to transplant it to a safe spot. And every time I walked past the pile of "bad" dirt during the summer, I could see more and more of just the lemon balm growing in the shade (and no blackberries). LOL
Thank you for the advice for the amaranth. We have a lot of birds feeding all over the farm so that will come in handy later in the season. Our mint is only in a planter box at this time and we plan to keep it there. Thank you for watching our video and for your recommendations!
Looking forward to watching your garden grow. ❤❤❤
@@nolliesteers3083 Thank you!

Looks like it will be a wonderful kitchen garden! A lot of yummy food to use this growing season 😊
Thank you! We are looking forward to it all. So many tasty choices!
Ohhhh I didn't know black oil sunflowers would start from the bagged stuff!

Hale’s Best is a great cantaloupe. I’m gonna grow some this year too. Thanks for the tip on planting the black oil sunflower seeds!
You are welcome. Didn't think that they would germinate, but life finds a way! Thank you for watching.
