I am so glad I came across your videos. I watched your Florida series – all 50 videos. Happy to see your NEW garden. I had just filled up some empty water jugs and added some compost to them. Capped them, but then saw your video – were you talked about putting the compost tea in a bottle, and how bad it smelled. so I quickly went out side and took the caps off. Thank you so very much for doing this. It’s like watching a LONG TIME friend’s videos .. You are such a sweet person.
@Suzihotbox Thank so much for the kind compliment! Search You Tube for good directions on how to make compost tea. It is important to keep it oxygenated. Thanks so much for watching!
Donna.. wow, Asheville, I loved it when I visited some time back.. enjoy your videos.. my first time commenting. Question: what materials did you use to make your greenhouse.. looks exactly like what I need.
You should try growing some tomatillos. I am trying them out this year. They germinate pretty well, within one week.
Also I think collards, turnips and mustards will do well in your zone.
I also let me weeds go wild, not intentionally, I just went out everyday for one week and pulled them by hand making sure to get the root so they won't come back then I put straw over the ground as mulch.
Thanks for posting this. I have been patiently waiting!
Hi Donna I started thinking seriously about gardening when I watched your 1st video when you lived in Florida last year. By the end of video 50 I knew I would give it a try. I love it. Thank you. Im sure there are a number of people that you have inspired. Im also thrilled with the new videos.
@psjbjjj7 I make Mel's mix: vermiculite, compost, and peat moss. Also, I found a good deal on some potting soil at Big Lots and am trying it in a few pots. It is all natural w/o synthetic additives. The name of it is Black Magic. I used it and really like it so far. It is very light and friable.
Donna, love your videos....I have a question about your seed. Where do you buy your seeds?

Where are you going to put all your plants? Will you have to buy more containers?
