Planting Salad & Herb Window Boxes! Garden Answer Major: Such a happy way to start the day. Thank you Laura and team! Unrelated question! I am a total newbie gardener, only started when I Stumbled across your videos a couple years ago. But my garden is garden is an expert level garden. It is filled with enormous shade trees that save us from the 100+ degree weather (zone 9a, in Redding CA) we get in the summer but there is nowhere that gets more than 4-6 hours of sun a day. However! There are many spots that still get a couple hours of that intense afternoon sun. Also, the trees are all pines and black walnut, that constantly drop material that kills or damages anything beneath them. What can I do? Are there any plants that can handle being in mostly shade while still hardy enough to handle hot evening sun? Is there anything that thrives under pines and black walnut that also handles those light conditions?

The lettuce colander is so pretty. I have a question. I am not familiar with moss. Is it ok to be packed around your soil and edibles? I was concerned with any chemicals from it leaching into the soil? I'm trying to stay as organic as possible. I watch your videos everyday and I have learned so much. Thank you!

I love the colander planter. My mother passed away a while back. One of the things I have from her kitchen is her colander. You've inspired me to do something special with it to honor her birthday which is coming up. Thanks so much. I enjoy watching you grow along with your garden and your beautiful family.

What a fun video! I love the colander with the greens! Quick question, I noticed how we have similar window boxes. Mine are self-watering but it doesn't last long in the summer. I didn't see any drip tubes on top of your soil like other containers. Do you put your drip down into the self watering reservoir?

I'm going with edibles all across the front of my house now, this year. I've learned so much from watching you and the lettuces & cabbages are just gorgeous! The front of my house only gets morning Sun so it's just perfect for greens. I love that colander from your mom! That thing's probably 100 years old

Hi Laura, I see you planted some chamomile, I tried planting them from seeds, as well as from the size of the plant as you have in your video (from the nursery. I just don't seem to have any success. Are they finicky to grow, do they have special growing requirements. ps I enjoy all your videos

OH my! Benjamin and the ash tree. I have a four and a half year old son who affectionately calls you garden lady. Both he and I love to watch your videos. It makes gardening feel relatable for him when he sees Benjamin helping outside. So authentic and fun!

Love this idea! Last fall I planted a basket full of herbs for use with our Thanksgiving day meal. This spring Id like to do a window box with summer herbs for salads and teas! I enjoy these ideas for our home. Thank you for sharing!

I love the idea of using edibles in window boxes, and it is absolutely gorgeous! I know you have lots of cooking videos, but have you ever considered writing a cookbook that contains recipes for things you grow in your garden?

This is great news, for years I've planted chives w/petunias, rosemary w/geraniums & chard w/purple fountain grass. Also used a double sized chimney cover inverted for my first raised bed. It all works together. cgzone8
