❤😃👍 Thanks Allen!
Awesome video Allen. I learned something new today. I like what you did with the egg shells and how healthy they are for the chickens. I absolutely love your very beautiful pumpkin house.
Such a useful video! I propagate c jenny this way too ! And with the price increases at the nursery it really has helped, and wow! Planting your pumpkins in July? So late it seems ?
Hey, why don't you do a show on the giant pumpkin growing ?
Thanks for all you do😊
P. Allen your videos are just classic! Thanks for sharing this gem
I miss your PBS shows, but am happy to catch your YouTube vids.
Will you be planting several different pumpkins variety's this year? How are your espalier fruit trees this year? How old are they? I remember you planting and training several but do not recall when. Cute coconut planter. Thanks for this idea.
I’ve made rose petal jam. ❤ it.
Miss your tv shows glad I found YouTube have a great day
Allen, you lend gentility to everything you touch. Thank you for your sweet passion for growing things and beauty. And your creeping Jenny tip was genius. I had never thought of that method of propagating and I am off to do the same now. Like you I hate to throw anything away. I have propagated one hosta plant into actual berms of hosta, stabilizing the soil in low lying areas of my property and bringing lush visual coolness everywhere it starts establishing itself.
