What is the name of that butterfly in the film? ( Not it's Christian name of course).
Good tips.
Another awesome video with a lot of great tips. Hope you enjoying the weekend. Cheers!
Great video. Keep gardening fun!
Thank you for your knowledge on so many in a garden. Yes I am learning to not be in a hurry to start seeds …it can be overwhelming
The spoon trick with ginger is a game changer.
I'd love to grow my own ginger someday, especially if it's easy to grow and harvest! I freeze ginger whole, unpeeled. I can grate it on a microplane even when it's frozen solid, and the skin stays on the top side of the grater and is easily brushed away.
Nice
Great video! So many helpful tips. I especially like the tip about starting small and gradually adding to the size of your garden. I know that sometimes my gardening chores can become overwhelming. But when that particular plant starts producing fruit it makes everything worth the effort. Thanks for sharing these tips. Question… Did you work your magic and 'design' the Odapeno pepper during the winter break? And please remind me what it tastes like. I cannot find anything online about it. Thanks for sharing all your valuable information. Have a wonderful weekend.🫑🫑🫑🌶️🌶️🌶️
Wow, 👍 great tips again😊
Thank you again 💓
Great tips thanks! I am really fascinated by the tomato grafting.
Good Afternoon Jim – Just got back from picking strawberries this morning and now the processing begins. Your tips are awesome – the drill bits look like new after using citric acid on them and had no idea potatoes would grow from just a peel. I just got some organic ginger and turmeric and will be planting those tomorrow. The tips on freezing ginger is so convenient when you just need a small amount. Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for all the great tips this week.
YOU ARE TRUELY AMAZING. THANK YOU
Great video content! It's nice to hear your wisdom
Great tips Jim. Happy Mothers Day to your wife.
Love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏼💞
Great tips!!!! The grafting that you've done over the years is so cool. I agree with starting small! There's so much to learn about each thing to grow. It can be so overwhelming.
Very interesting and helpful video! I do hope you decide to share more tips …. I need all of those I can get. 😊
Awesome tips Jim! I really liked the collection of seeds using the canister & starting out small! I’ve slowly expanded in my 20+ years of gardening!
I always try something new every year. I see it as a challenge & something that potentially could turn into something I plant for years to come. Have a good weekend! Eric
Jim, you always have some great gardening tips and advice. I'm pretty sure that I've watched most of your videos if not all. Sadly though, I have never tried to graft any plants in my garden, let alone graft a petunia onto a tomato plant… which sounds pretty amazing! I think the best gardening advice ever, is to start small, instead of trying to grow everything you like all at once. Blessings to you and Mrs. Midwest Gardener, and Happy Mother's Day to her. I hope the two of you are having a wonderful weekend! ~Margie🤗💐💚
Wow, excellent tips here, thanks
I love the butterfly ideas. I grow extra fennel for them but I think I will go the educational route as well this year!
I’m lazy with basil and flower seeds. I bag the whole dried tops 😅 I’m growing ginger this because of you. I’m excited to grow my own instead of hoping the farmers market has some available.
Starting small as a new gardener is important advice. I went all in the first year, including hoop house winter gardening and starting an indoor year round garden. I’ve learned now that I need to put the garden to bed for the winter ( except for a few micro tomatoes and peppers, green onions, lettuce, herbs and microgreens ) because I enjoy the rhythm of seasonal projects. I overwhelmed myself and grew all the things.
I’m trying my hand at different mushrooms in different areas of my property. We enjoy the kits as well.
I would love a full tutorial on grafting tomatoes! I bought fruit trees with multiple varieties of on them. Have you tried growing them? I have 3 asian pears on one tree and and 2 apple varieties on one tree. I’m trying them before investing in more.
Wow! I didn't realize the possibilities of grafting!!
Great ideas! Thanks so much!
I love that you move the caterpillars ❤
Fun video. Great tips…TY
I'll practice planting for fun. Looks very interesting.
My advice after 5 seasons of growing a lot of a few plants would be to plant more types but fewer of each plant type so that you have time to maintain weeding and feeding. Then decide which plants appeal to you the most and grow best in your garden environment.
the flowers of radish are good too
40 years ago bought a flower pot at a yard sale. Had dirt in it and the roots of a plant. Out of curiosity watered and fed it fish fertilizer. Six months later a bit of green. Have had a fiscus for the last 40 years. Roots evidently don't die immediately. Push and pull ok clay soil. 😊
Very helpful. Huge thanks!
