    Thank you. I have been watching your Youtube podcast, Rusted Gardner, Garden Answers, Guilding Green Thumbs, and many other wonderful people. I am weeding and working on my landscape wall ,among many other things. I have seedlings sprouting. I am excited to transplant when the time is right.

  4. @vee5032

    Love the idea of storing under the deck ❤, wait i don’t have a deck 😅 cages and sticks will have to be behind the shed 😁 and away from the corner of the yard, lots of cleaning to do here, thanks for the encouragement 👍🏻💕

  5. @KeystoneGardenMomma

    I have to admit i chuckled a "little" bit over your stick collection but only because i can relate to saving random things that i may be able to use in the garden. 🤣

  6. @PorchGardeningWithPassion

    YouTube is a game changer for sure! I had a similar experience, but in a much smaller scale with my RC Channel. Of course, it only has 34,000 subscribers, so it is a weak comparison to yours. I do plan to apply what I learned on those channels to this one in the coming years, with the focus on fun and helpful videos like yours 👊🏻🌻👊🏻

  7. @julvwildcat190

    This was a great video. I love using an unused out of the way space to store garden supplies. That was a good idea. It's amazing how much your garden has changed over the years. I definitely have some garden tasks that I keep putting off because I think they're going to take longer than they actually may take.

    I'm curious about one thing, do you garden in your front yard? I vaguely remember a video about your front yard. Maybe it was filmed years ago. A lot of us love the aesthetics of a decorative garden versus a vegetable garden. I love both but I have found myself watching more gardening videos of decorative gardens with flowers and less about growing food. Even in my own garden, I have cut back growing as much. This year I have had issues with my edibles being less productive. I feel like edible gardens are more work and if I'm not getting production like I had hoped I just start to grow less food. 🙁

    Anyway, maybe YouTube is pushing more decorative gardens over edible gardens. Just a thought. Oh and one more thing, I got emotional when CG shared the story of telling CK his idea to build her a little storage area. That was such a sweet reaction and story.

  9. @patriciarice3851

    I laughed when you opened your shed door ONLY because if you opened mine you need to jump back because stuff will come falling out ….yours was neat compared to mine 🤣🤣

  10. @thehealingberrygarden9608

    A wonderful video showing an important part of your lives. Very different from the tutorial videos. I loved this kind of story-telling approach. The mixture of different topics/videos makes this channel unique. Keep on going your way, it's hard work, I know, but it's tangible you love it. 😊

  14. @cocobrwngl

    Thanks so much for the tomato cage tip. I wrestle stacking and getting those things apart every time.

  16. @susanriggs8896

    How big is your shed? Did the floor come with it, or did you have lay concrete for it? Did it come with hangers? Brand?

  17. @kfetter9046

    You and CG = the sweetest couple! ♥ That was incredibly thoughtful and brave of CG to build the under deck storage area, despite his fear of confined spaces. I had to laugh when I saw the sticks you were sorting through because I have the same situation, LOL! They do come in very handy for staking plants, and I love the natural look of them. Thank you for encouraging me to get outside and get things done. I was all set to sit here watching videos (and feeling guilty about all the "to do's" outside), but you have inspired me to just get it done (and watch videos later, haha!). 🥰💐

  18. @Chocamatoes

    Hey how nice it looks. I have that same shed. Do you know those indentions in the wall is to create shelf. My husband use 2×4 and plywood. He created shelves and in front I placed hooks for shovels. Just an idea.

  19. @krisp5204

    Keep doing what you do, excited to see your channel continue to grow! I can't wait to see your plans for a storage "She shed" I've just recently been thinking about doing the same!

  22. @MyrsGarden

    Oh, to be loved as much as CG loves Kim🥺. Isn’t it amazing to be seen, to be thought of? You guys are beautiful🥰

    I am SO happy YouTube changed your lives, because you were then able to change mine and so many others! It has been no small task, consistently
    Posting over more than a decade😲
    But you persisted and it’s been wonderful. Thank you for all you continue to do!

    PS. Received the shipping notification for the August box. I can’t wait!🙌🏾

  24. @taraporter8699

    Loved this. You two are so cute! I’ve been a follower since somewhere between 2016 and 2018 and you have taught me how to garden! I always look forward to the next video and love rewatching your old ones. They are filled with tips and your joy and kindness is contagious. Thanks for all of your dedication!
