Can't believe your already ending spring, spring is moving so slow for us 😅
172. Lk 🎉😊❤
These kind of “work with me” videos are so helpful and inspiring! Thank you.
Angela, Thank you for your education video's. Question on snapdragons & double carnations here in zone 9b. Are they at an end of production?? Mine seem to be drying up, which I thought was early for this time of year.
Your garden is beautiful ❤❤❤
So beautiful. I’m not having good luck with straw flowers. Yours are gorgeous. I’m in zone 9b, the other side of this big city from you. First year with tomatoes and and can’t be happier. Sunflowers are going strong but not as big as yours yet. ❤. Thank You Angela. You are and inspiration.
Stunning! Blessings on the rest of the growing season.
I am in awe of your garden. As an older gardener I have seen my gardens get smaller as I age but my enthusiasm ever diminishes and you inspire me.
Beautiful garden you have. Love your videos.
Beautiful! You inspire me!
That was so fun to watch and I learned a lot, too. I am really enjoying these working tour videos. Thanks!
What an amazing, beautiful garden. Thanks for sharing…
Hey Angela, do you know how to get rid of grubs in the beds? They are eating the roots of my plants and killing them.
I love your garden tours.
Beautiful garden
You're a wonderful inspiration.
Enjoyed the video. I just discovered very early stages of powdery mildew on my 4 tomato plants In my garden, do you have any recommendations for a spray to treat the plant after I prune off some effected leaves? I’ve been reading up on neem oil and a milk/water solution.
Fabulous video Angela! Thank you so much for sharing the seed saving tips! I love your spotlight type videos and blog that are in depth and too ding these types of “come along with me as I work” also so inspiring and too full of useful ideas and information! Thanks so much 🤗
❣❣❣
So beautiful! I love your garden!
I am learning so much from your channel. Thank you so much for sharing!
Beautiful handwriting.
Ciao Angela sto costruendo un impianto di irrigazione a sei stazione ,tu quale centralina hai usato? che marca e modello ? grazie fammi sapere
Buon lavoro
Your garden is goals 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️
Question please did you grow enough chick peas to can for the pantry if so how many seeds did you sow and what size bed did you use or did you just grow them to have as snacking outside
Wow!! 😍 The ending in the dust/night tour is gorgeous. What a beautiful place you’ve created.
So beautiful with the lights on💖 Thank you for the seed saving instruction. I’m trying to save some Pansy seeds and I never know quite when to pick them. I picked one the other day. It had a big green ball where the flower was. I brought it in and just put it on a paper towel. Within two days it had dried and popped open, kind of ejecting a couple of tiny seeds out 😮
You're so lucky to be able to grow artichokes! I'm in 5B so they would have to be an annual and I've shied away from that, being that so many other things must also be planted annually. I considered seeing if they would overwinter until this winter… when it got very cold for an extended period of time. I just don't think they'll make it.
One struggle I have been experiencing is a lack of pollinators in my vegetable garden. You seem to have an abundance of flowers growing among your food crops. What would you say is a good ratio of flowers to vegetables to promote pollination?
Wow! Your garden is incredible! Thank you for all the tips!
I have never seen chick peas, or artichoke grow, I appreciate your channel its very informative. I’m in zone 5.
I hope you make more of this type of video.
My chamomile has tiny little worms come out of it so i didnt want to use it for tea. How do you prevent them ?
I saw in another video that you used buckets for your worm bins. Do you no longer do that?
Thank you, we love your garden! We are getting ready for the summer planting. So fun gardening with you!
Wow!!!! Just beautiful!!!
Beautiful garden really enjoyed it! Where did you buy the lights that you had on the walls all around and a solar light in the garden buckets on the ground….can you make a video what you feed your tomato plants in the soil. Thank you
Our daughter lived in Peoria for a couple of years. I would never have believed a garden as wonderful as yours would be possible. But, I suppose with enough love and care it is possible. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for doing this video! Your flowers inspire me since I normally won't grow flowers unless I can eat them (lol) but it adds so much to a garden. Pulled out 3 spiky cactus in my zone 10 yard, only one big one to go. Ready to try more flower gardening along with the ongoing veggies.
Your garden is a dream! I am going little over a year gardening and is been really challenging, your videos keep me optimistic.❤️
How how how on earth do you keep those tiny little green flea like bugs out of your chamomile? 🌻
Your garden is already gorgeous, the night lighting makes it pure magic!❤
Beautiful garden!! How do you control squash bugs? I work 50 hours a week and tending to the garden daily is difficult… I stopped growing squash and zucchini for that reason.
I'm in Chandler getting ready to turn my yard into a garden. You are one of the best resources I've found for desert gardening and I am so grateful you're sharing it with us!
I am loving these videos! It’s so interesting to see what others are doing in their gardens 😊
If you have chickens can you make a video of how you care for them and what they eat
Your best video for so many reasons. You are my garden hero!!
Thanks
Beautiful! I’m in Oregon so it’s very exciting to see your garden in Mesa so I can look forward to when mine will look full and wonderful as well!! You’ve done a fantastic job this year!!!❤
