    When I’m sitting on my couch watching your video, I’m totally inspired to do things like plant a herb garden, especially when how easy it will be while watching you…….then reality sets in and I know I’ll never plant a herb garden or many of the things you do, because I’m lazy and I know that you are and always have been a mover and a shaker and are just such a joy to watch and admire. So, you are my HERO Mary!😊

    I have been watching your channel for a long time. I felt like some, too much advertising, but then thought there is a fast forward slider and you got to make a living. I am currently redoing our kitchen farmhouse style, building an Urban Farm as the need for food here in South Africa is great. I am in my 60'S and retired and have cancer, but Grace abounds. I give all the produce to the needy as my pension that is less than $1200 is enough if you applying Biblical principles. Thank you for your contribution to my existince here in Africa. May God bless you and your family and the cottages.😇😇🤗🤗🙏🙏

    Mary, I need to tell you something. Last week my husband traveled to Pennsylvania due to work. Anyway, he knows how much I like you so he stopped at an Amish place & he said he had a delicious lunch there & that the vegetables & cabbage were cooked amazingly delicious. He bought an awesome & delicious dark chocolate almond bark squares dessert 💗. I’m eating it little by little. The place is called Shady Maple Farm Market. I know you don’t live there, but maybe you heard about it.

    BEE BALM: save the seeds this fall and do some winter milk-jug sowing. You’ll have more bee balm to plant next year than you know what to do with! 😁 I started with two plants in 2020, and now I’ve got more than I can count scattered throughout my perennial beds. Not bad for about $10 to start with! Just loving this little garden.

    I know you’ll put some kind of bench in that herb garden! It turned out beautiful! I love my herb garden. A lot of my plants come back each year like rosemary, sage, catnip (I think that’s different than catmint) and of course my chives and garlic chives. I grow my catnip in a pot because the neighborhood kitties love rolling in it when I planted it in the herb bed. 🐈🥰 I’m excited to see how your vine will grow up your arbor. You are a superwoman Miss Mary! Your soap for dirty garden hands is a great idea! How clever to make it hang! You’ve come so far since I first found your channel! So glad I subscribed! 🫶🏻

    Mary, I absolutely love you and I am so inspired by you always… And I’m so grateful that you love Jesus with all your heart! There’s one question I have… Or maybe a comment… Maybe you should take the spearmint out of your garden… That stuff is super super invasive, but what you could do is put it in for pots or so if you like a lot of it… Mint is very invasive and will take over your garden…

    Oh this is going to be so pretty. I do hate that you use the weed killer and then plant edibles. Maybe the kind you use is safe to use near food. Thad arbor will be so pretty when the plant grow up it. Congratulations on a beautiful project. Just please don’t eat the herbs or veggies till you check the weed killer.👍

    • @leapintothewild
      @leapintothewild Год назад +3

      Agree - and most sprays have a recommended waiting period before planting anything, whether organic or not, whether food or not. I usually just take the time to remove the sod altogether and give it a month to settle and any weeds to show up, though I’ve got one bed where I’m trying out the cardboard no-dig method. I’ve got high hopes for that one!!

    I got tired just watching you do all that digging! You should invest in a roto tiller if your going to make more flower beds and gardens!

As always I love love love this channel! ❤ God bless you Mary!🙏🙏🙏

    • @leapintothewild

      She’s got a tiller, but nothing beats a shovel for cutting an edge. Besides, some of us actually like using a shovel! Weird, right? I love the brainless monotony, just a good meditative workout with the earth. Not everything requires a noisy, smelly machine. (don’t get me started on those obnoxious leaf blowers - give me a rake any day)

    Hi Mary, Such a great use of space, i used to plant everything on the ground and i have only used raised beds for thing like green beans and cucumbers and then i added some sticks for the vines to grow up. I also planted some tomatoes i love them fresh from the garden so fresh and just tasting the freshness of unaltered herbs and vegetables, great in a garden salad. You always surprise me how much energy you have to do that all in a day. so beautiful. I have never seen Marigolds that colour it looks like cream i have only seen the bright orange and light orange varieties. Another great project done and it looks great. I need to get some bark mulch for my garden i am getting way too many weeds in my flower beds. I love this channel and you are so creative. i just love it.

    👋Hi from East Tennessee.
    I was born in Millersburg and grew up in Ashland, Ohio, so I know where you are located.
    Mansfield, Wooster, Holmes County, Ashland, Hayesville, Loudonville, Glenmont, Killbuck all of that area is where I grew up.
    The marigolds are supposed to keep the rabbits out of your garden.
    I was always told to use them as a natural border to help keep the rabbits out of your veggie garden.
    I enjoyed watching your videos. I want to put in a potege' garden.
    Have a great weekend God bless you and your family.
