How many people are watching in April 2020 in preparation for a pandemic-induced economic depression?
-
I bought seeds twice from you and you are very generous with your seeds, they germinate fast that's why i love them. Thanks, Gary. Great video!!!
-
Thanks for being so simple and straightforward with explaining and planting! The way you presented looks so easier and not overwhelming for starters like me! You are in your element. ♥️
-
Gary, I just wish to take a moment to say thanks for doing such a wonderful job. I was ignorant about farming but thanks to u, I am doing well with my back yard gardening. U have no idea what it means to me when u take the time to respond to my individual needs. I also respect u for taking the time to research in order to facilitate even the most unexpected and specific needs expressed. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

Hey man, would love to see an update video of your son's garden!
-
Thank you! I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with what to do with a 4 x 8 in ground garden section I found on our property. I thought I had to buy good soils for the entire area. I appreciate the guidance. I can’t wait to get my plants in the ground.
-
I’m so glad I found your channel! First timer here!
-
I live in the city (Washington DC) and just found out I was successful in a lottery for a local community garden plot. It will be my first real garden! I'm so excited!! This is exactly the kind of video I needed, thanks so much.
-
Thank you for making it simple to encourage us to get out there and just plant!
-
A very comprehensive video for a starter, appreciate it.
-
YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD DAD
-
Remarkably therapeutic to watch someone teach and demonstrate with so much passion
-
@ 7:19 I strongly recommend moving the raised bed away from the siding of the structure and the fence to prevent severe wood rot and insect damage.
-
Yo!!! Thank you so much for making this video. I'm starting my first garden and I had absolutely no idea where to start. I knew I would have to dig up the pre-existing garden but it's nice to see the process. I'm really trying to do a great garden this year in honor of my friend that just passed away recently so I've been trying to find resources everywhere and this one is a great start. Thanks again!
-
Gary you are literally so awesome
-
Beginner and budget friendly. Thank you so much!
-
Love this guy, him and one other youtuber taught me every thing i know. I named my garden Seven folds gardens
-
This is exactly what I needed to get ready for spring-->Summer. Thank you!

THIS IS GREAT FOR WHOLE FAMILY BONDING BACK TO EARTH..TEACHING KIDS THE VALUE OF FOOD AND HOW NATURE OPERATES BRINGS JOY TO LITTLE ONES AND GIVES THEM SOMETHING TO DO...
