Backyard Garden Update - Herbs, Transplant, Grapes, Greenhouse

[sawdustjohnpa]

you'll love the stevia. i am an insulin dependant diabetic and have been using it for about 6 months now. and i don't think 'd ever buy seeds off ebay. go with a supplier you're familiar with or one that is highly recommended. just found your vids and things look great.

[VivianRinSC]

Wow! Things are really coming together really nicely! Kinda time-lapsed since I'm just starting to watch your vids. :)

[GettingThereGreen]

@VivianRinSC Yeah, we see that you are commenting as you go! lol! That's great.  I checked out your yogurt one so far... but got interrupted 1/2 way through by the phone... I have to sit down and go through yours! :) Glad to have you on board! -Randy

That squirrel is scoping out the garden! LOL Oh, I can't wait to put in my herbs. . . You know, I have wild(?) chives ALL OVER the place here. It comes up in the lawn, the pasture -- just everywhere. My kids pull them up and eat the roots (mild onion-y flavor). They call it "onion grass". : )

[GettingThereGreen]

@Michigansnowpony We really enjoy our herb garden. So awesome that it's up and growing. Won't be long now till we get to use them!

[SleestaksRule]

I have Stevia going too. They don't give too many seeds in the pack. I tried to buy 1000 stevia seeds on Ebay and they all failed. Went with the store bought pack and they almost all germinated. I've never seen Stevia plants for sale locally.

@SleestaksRule I can't wait to actually start using it... since I am type 2 diabetic - Randy.

Great vid! Thanks for the Sub! Two of my favorite things are trellis and zip ties. How could we do a garden without them? Keep it up. As for the lemon balm, I have it every year, my daughters love it, if only for the way it smells, we do add it to our tea when we brew for iced tea other than that, it just smells good AND our dogs love to munch on it as well!

[GettingThereGreen]

@atticus9799 Lemon balm is a really great substitute when you don't have lemon... at least that's my experience. :)

[MrGreenbudha]

that so cool!

[RDPproject]

Green...my favorite colour.

What the!? Was that a black squirrel?

[GettingThereGreen]

@RDPproject Yes, black squirrels (and grey) are super common here. ;) We don't see a lot of red ones here... actually, come to think of it only place I've seen them is much farther north in Canada. :)

[GettingThereGreen]

@GettingThereGreen @RDPproject (that last comment was Randy talking), I know that red and brown squirrels are common in all of Eastern Canada at least. I know this because I grew up on the East Coast. I also know that red squirrels are common in Northern Ontario. Oddly in Southern Ontario we only have these monstrous black squirrels and the odd grey squirrel. ~Amanda

Well some of my plants are bigger.....but I'm glad to see the peppers are the same lol I think they need heat to grow...not only light. hum won't you have trouble taking the bean out ? lol Awsome you are spwing outside already! I can't wait to be there!!! Love your herb garden!

[GettingThereGreen]

@jihadacadien We really love our herb garden as well... it's AWESOME when it's fully growing. We plant scarlet runner beans along the herb garden's back fence, if you want any of those seeds we still have a bunch from last years crop! ;)

[jihadacadien]

@GettingThereGreen Thanks...but I have a lot of those too ;)

[hallard069]

Great update. For the peas, I like using tomato cages. I can get a lot more plants per square foot to grow upwards.

Keep up the great work.

[GettingThereGreen]

@hallard069 Hmm... may have to try that... or some variation of that.

[TheUrbanOutdoors]

good update...greenhouse?

[GettingThereGreen]

@TheUrbanOutdoors yup... 2nd greenhouse video coming soon!!! You'll have to check out part 1.

[pinetar100]

[GettingThereGreen]

@pinetar100 Yeah... we thought the cold was gone and we had 2-3 days of near freezing temperatures. :( That is why the grapes looked poopy.
