Thanks so much for your videos. Living in Canada, I often am needing to watch garden videos in March and April when I still have a foot of snow on the ground. Thanks for the factual info on GMOs! I am also 95% sure that you can not buy GMO seeds as a home gardener. You can look on the USDA website to see a list of all GMO plants that have been approved to grow in the states. None of these are offered in seed packs. There are actually very few, considering that everyone is always so concerned about them (despite the fact that all plants have been genetically modified to get the varieties we grow in some shape or form.

You're right in when raised around certain could be dangerous items on your property. But! Lol, a voice of experience here. When he gets more school age and is having friends come over, those friends tend to be a bit more inquisitive and adventurous. As they don't know the potential dangers. And bless our own children's hearts, they just tend to let their friends do as they please. Just something to think about in the future. Spend a few minutes explaining to the friends. I've found if you take a moment to explain, they understand more than shrugging off the because i said so words. Kids are hilarious though

My experience with our children and grandchildren regarding safety is that if you explain why you don't want them to open the basement door, for example, they don't test that. I never had to put up breakable things or precious heirlooms because I had them look at them and touch them with me nearby, and reminded them that I would take them down or out of the cabinet for them to see and touch the items. Both granddaughters are very careful and know that a container or a drawer with their names on it/them is okay for them to use without any supervision.

Hey guys! My question, I live in a home like your old house. I have a fence line in the back yard that has super sandy soil that turns into rock in the summers, the previous owners had no plants in the bed. none, I now have horsetail growing out of it (we didnt have a budget to do something with it until now) its full of it. How would you handle getting rid of this weed and making that bed ready for a garden? Oh, is there anything to get rid of horsetail from a rock garden! Thanks so much for all you share. you guys are so much fun to watch!

Hi Laura! You mentioned The Vidal blend you put in last year came back strong. Did the fringed tulips in this blend also come back? I bought the White squared perennial blend because it was on the perennial list, but didnt have the Fringed tulips. Also, cant wait to see if Pinotage blend came back this year for you. I love that blend so much, I didn't buy it only because it was not on the Perennial list.
Do you have drip irrigation for the new delphiniums you planted? How do you water them if not?

As for the lilacs. When the tree grouping gets old and decrepit looking you keep the suckers and cut out the old tree. That is how you keep the plant going. Most lilacs that are dying are caused by not sealing the wounds from pruning lower branches and suckers. The suckers will grow fast when you cut the tree down because the roots are developed to support a much larger plant. I like the stumps left in the ground with the bark peeled off. They look natural and interesting to me.

Miracle Grow puts ground up plastic and Agent Orange ( I kid you not) into their bagged 'soil'. Do NOT use Miracle Grow on anything you plan on eating! They have found microscopic plastic particles within plant fibers. The company is part of the Dilution is the Solution for Pollution - propaganda. This is why every bag has a toxicity warning on the backside. They do not need to disclose the fact that Agent Orange is in the 'soil' because non-food items are not regulated.

I have the green stalk vertical garden for my strawberries. I bought two and I loved it so much, I am buying two more! I did find they dried out a bit too much in the front of the cups even when you water from the top so I do both. You have to add compost a couple of times a year because a bit of the mud washes out. I also got the roller feet rather than the plate. The plate keeps water in it and it causes mosquito issues. Zone 9 Louisiana: )

Yes, a video going over all the different types of seeds would be great. I grew from seed indoors for the very first time this winter; I got the Gardener's Supply unit that you have, btw, and it's excellent. I would love to understand more about seeds.
I love these recap videos. So glad you started doing them.
