Container Gardening: Lingonberry

[glamkitten24]

Very nice. I can't even remember what a lingonberry tastes like. I think I had them in a jam/preservative before and that's all. I'm also liking the idea that they are harvested twice in the warm season :) How would they fare in Atlanta, GA area (zone wise)? BTW I think it's awesome that you guys live in an urban area yet maintain a healthy, productive garden WTG!

[atomicfrog2000]

Hahaha! Love this video. :D

[RealPauper]

Awesome video Patti, and Al is SO adorable ... "Special thanks to gravity" ... could NOT be cuter !!!

[nerdmom920]

I notice that you guys have a lot of slugs. Lizards eat slugs, and you don't have to get 'em drunk! Just put a hollowed out log for it to live in, leave water lying and it will stick around and take care of your slug problem.

[DreamsCatcher101]

LOL i love the little dance and the shoulder nudge at the beginning. Great to see you have fun doing this with your daughter. I just got into square foot gardening with my 5 year old and she loves getting stuck in. I cant wait till we cook up the first meal grown in our garden.

Thanks for the inspiration :)

[RIFFSUAREZ]

how entertaining and educational!

[sbflash311]

How many people remember to thank gravity?

[bigbuggie5]

I've only had lingon berry juice at Ikea. I liked it. Maybe I'll grow some too.

[W1tchingHour]

That was cute!!!

[DaniellaFagan]

Que bonita Alejandra! Cant wait to get our sprin garden prepped! Thanks always for the inspiration.

[cobainzlady]

while i sometimes don't see perfection in these videos, what i do see is a very nicely produced video. AND it is very encouraging to get out and do some of this! a very important thing to get into in this day and age when we need to find out how to produce our own food for various reasons. Things will get worse, for a while so it is a very essential thing to know and get going in. Thanks garden girl.

[stronggoes]

Beautiful !!!!

[Whippetfest]

Your daughter is a natural! I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!

[vonJezierski]

I love this Patti!!! I failed many plantations...but I´m still have a hope.

Thanks...

[SunnyDaayz]

Thanks for the info, Patti!

I do have a question, though. Why the metal containers? Would clay or wooden containers do just as well? I had no idea that lingonberry plants were available in the US. The small size of the bush would make them ideal for growing

where space is limited.

Thanks again! Love your videos.

[BlackChimera]

nice vid; not boring at all. Continue your work patti!! i will keep watching your videos.

[ItripledogdareU]

More info on your videos please, best location to plant, best size container if container gardening would a one gallon work? type of containers you used, price and where you purchased them. How often should the plant be fertilized. I love your videos Patti, keep posting them.

[CocoaBeachLife]

Very nice demonstration, very motivating! My mom always shared memories about Lingonberries -- she grew up in Switzerland. Maybe I will surprise her with a Lingonberry bush!

[LocoPCtheoneandonly]

You two are adorable!!! : )

[bemefor1day]

This Video is adorable! great Job!

[quantumsprite]

OMG Adorable!!!!! Love the Mother Daughter team work.

Ker-pow!! YAY!

[dstone2004]

I never heard of lingonberries, but now i'm eager to try them.

Al should co-host all the videos. :)

[rogneid]

Lingonberries are so wonderful; I use them during Thanksgiving as well as cranberries.

[aaronrentsinc]

Great video !!! Keep up the great work !!

[agamum1]

HA kids! "you got something stuck between your teeth!"

waits to the last minute to tell you~

Seriously, great teamwork

[Grubenpony12]

I love it!

[Care4alot]

you are a funny coupple :o)

[Coolpix7900]

I read up on lingonberry. Will this grow in Zone 7?

[saphiablue]

Enjoy ALL your vids Patti thank you so very much HIGHLY inspirational for Kiwi folks like myself, Regards Judy

[Modeltrainguy]

Must be a glitch. The video keeps stopping at 3:35. =(

[marcjtdc]

these berries last a long time in stoage!

[RPfishh]

Ah it's too warm here for them, how unfortunate.

[Tahosapiya]

Great Job Patti! It was so nice to see Ali - she should be a regular, she's getting so big and she's real smart too (like her mother), I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree :-)

Cloud

[shannonnorfolk]

great! fun sidekick, too!

[limeslimey]

Hmmm...must get lingonberries for next year...  I think I will try more container gardening. Thanks!

[okiedragonlady2]

Cute - Al didn't seem as enthused but she was working very hard at being a good sidekick for her mom - I am not sure lingdonberries will grow in Oklahoma heat - anyone else know?

[thehealingpot]

lol "he has to eat everything, because of the contract" that was funny.

[Banishedonee]

@thehealingpot- I kind of wonder what contract she was talking about.

[yesinia]

The arm bump in the begining..(funny).

You both are AWESOME!!

It is amazing that you can plant sooo much in a limited space. Thanks for sharing

[theracemixer]

Are you guys habesha

[mikej831]

i think its educational to have kids help and learn gardening when gardening AWESOME!!!!!! :)

[valambiguous]

That was fun to watch!...Thanx!!!

[rayunseitig]

Good job!!

[joelsjunkemail]

Patty is hot

[peachesKY]

excellent!!!!! keep em comin girls.

[Luv4Learning]

Too adorable :) What kind of soil do you use? Do you use compost or commercial fertilizers?

[nicefella3]

excellent video...informative & fun to watch

[endaderoad]

Special thanks to gravity!

[kakudmi]

Love it. Wonderful idea to sustain yourself in the urban areas.

However, I don't believe you guys would survive if there is a major energy crisis in your city.

Hungry people would strip you from everything you have overnight.

But until that, please plan on how to leave the city before that happens. I would love to see you flourish in the rural area.

Peace and full stomach

[MIBstudios]

Good points Kaudmi:

That is why it is important to have 1 yr of food stores on hand and hidden in a very remote area or best of all, yes, relocate to a remote area BEFORE a major disaster strikes (as always with little or NO warning).

As for the video?

My whole family loves it and you two too :-)

Healthy eating one and all...

[insAneTunA]

Somebody sent me this video and although I have seen only two minutes YET I am already a big fan. Great work, awesome !

Greets from the Netherlands, iT

[gardenmagik]

I loved this! 5 stars!

[nellieeeeee]

HA HA, Entertaining and informative.

[Handysome567]

Lingonberry! I would love to get some. I collect berries. Where can I get Lingonberry. I am from Australia.

[Harpakhrad11]

Never had a Lingonberry.

[VENGEVENGE]

Funny

cool

[uturniaphobic]

poor slug...he weren't botherin' no one.

)

[rollander1]

Enjoyed the video and I am thinking about trying these berries as well. Thanks

[pondguru]

Never heard of lingonberry, but I'll try anything.

[heyawhaw]

WTF!??! Shut up! Vi don't say Sviden ... hahahaha ... and our forest are so full of lingoberries that your plants look really cute in comparision! Lingonberry jam is ... extremely yummy! There also HAS to be something special in lingons because ... they never go bad!!! Mmm ... lingonberry jam and milk is a little perfect desert! : D

[tarazod]

Very nice!

[jojo808]

Al's gonna be a garden Jedi master .

[enderwigginsx]

mother/daughter gardening ftw!

woo!!

[guitarpikz]

hahahahha.... she said.. " HE has to eat everything cause of the contract"

[pamlyn]

Thanks for another great tip on container gardening. This looks like a great idea for my very small Zone 6 backyard. You and Al make a great team. I wouldn't be surprised to see you with your own PBS show very soon.

[nikki4612]

Adorable. You an Al are so much fun to watch. I don't know if Ligonberries will grow in our hot steemy climate, but we an grow amazing blueberries here so maybe. Thanks again

Nikki in Ponchatoula, Louisiana

[AlbertaAllan]

this is a great video and I am adding this is to my plant playlist. I am seriously considering buying this plant as I live in zone 3. Sweden has cold winters and a lingonberry would need to be hardy to live there

[SoliGirlTV]

I'm so excited about learning lingonberries can be grown in my zone!! Thanks for the vid and info. : )

[HTCSWEOD]

F A N T A S T I C video Patti.... wonderful Job Al! The two of you play off of one another perfectly! When I break out the video camera my kids jet! They are afraid people will think they are hill-folk! [';'} the youngest Justin, says he'll run away if we get goats... (as soon as I find some we're getting them)... wonderfully informative and enteraining... making 4:40 minutes well spent... I sip my hot cider to the two of you!! Be well! YOUR fan, Fred (">

[huebear]

Although my land lord say's my plants beautify the appartment complex and makes people comment on how nice the place looks... he said I have to get rid of them because he is afraid that he will get in trouble from the fire marshal for having so many plants around

(I personally think he is full of $&^%!). So no more planting for me. Instead Im moving to a home where I can do my hobby.... GARDENING! Have a great day and thanks for the video!

[grof2]

lovely, thank you.

[loveofvegetables]

love your videos, please keep them coming.

[bapeLzin]

i live in sweden... ;-)

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

GREAT VIDEO:-)

You guys work excellent together.

5 Star content information too. Keep up the amazing work.

[nehketah1978]

[hertznow]

Cute video and Al is great

[sadbrwneyes989]

Lol cute. But I was wondering why metal containers? Why not clay?

[cheapsunglasses0maya]

I love the episodes with your kid...loved it...

[milt0nics]

What contract???

That was a fun video.

[BlitzenReindeer]

Great Video :)

[blaquebettyboop]

thanks this video is too adorable

[zeroelliott4146]

I always love the garden girl videos!

[BackyardBears]

Patti,

Great video, and thanks for introducing us to a plant with berries that many of us didn't know was edible.

Your daughter makes a great helper!

[deepwatertree]

Your daughter is adorable...a smart ass, but she has personality =]

Look like you have a green thumb for more than just plants, Patti =D

[athomas1124]

this is cool...just today, I was trying to figure out what kind of plants I could plant in a large fish aquarium inside the house, I want to place it close to the window...any suggestions?

[attilaclark]

I have been gardening for awhile but for the last two years I have been getting serious...lol...I want to add more perrenial type food producers...lingonberry fits the bill...I think I might plant some but how much do they yield..cause im greedy with my little area.

[eightmeg2003]

Hmmmm...... daddy has a contract to eat everything at home, huh? Do tell! Inquiring minds want to know. And what does Daddy get?!

Great videos and so nice to get daughter involved and confident.

[a98pelle]

I am Swedish and grow up eating lingonberries. We use sometimes the way you have cranberries with turkey and what not. We also use them with breakfast cereals or for dessert.

You can find them in any Swedish forest.

[4eva68]

Great video.

Getting kids back to nature -love it.

and...

Thanks 298pelle for the info.

[followingbreadcrumbs]

ooh, i'm going to have to look into those. thanks!

[Cutchswife]

You have a really cute daughter she looks just like you. Great vid Patti! I have never heard of Lingonberries before. Fascinating.

[lunaone]

QUESTION: Can you grow those outdoors, uncovered all winter?

[WeepingWillow1989]

your daughter looks JUST like you!! what a cutie!

[lunaone]

lovely...and cute ending. :D

[cory8791]

lol what ever rat lung disease

[joewilder]

If you're composting your own soil and mixing it with common earth, you may be getting slugs right from your soil. There could be slug eggs in the soil. Slugs are very dangerous on the West coast and in Hawaii. They carry rat lung disease.

[mw44118]

Cute -- so those tiny pots are big enough forever? What to transplant?

[VyckyM]

Bet that slug has quite a tale to tell his buddies when he gets home!

[rp6107]

AWESOME!!! Thank You so much!!!) Love & Gratitude, Rob and the Family:)

[randyallenbishop]

I want to try the berries now.

[pinkdes2ny]

I love how you are involving your daughter in the videos. The pair of you are just so cute. Great Video!

[Praxxus55712]

I live in a very Sweedish and Finnish area of Minnesota. They are really big on having Aebelskivver with Lingonberry syrup. I've tried it and it's delicious. I should grow some of these. I'm in zone 3. Thanks Patti and daughter! :)

[Buttereeeee]

Yahsureyoubetchahey! Go Minnesota!

[heavensrule]
