I’m watching this on a Saturday night, with a glass of wine. Some would say I should get some friends, I think I prefer tomatoes..
-
The minute details are crucial for beginners like me. Those are not tackled in other channels. Excellent teaching sir! Invaluable in pandemic lock downs as we all try to be self-sufficient and try urban gardening. Your videos help curb worldwide hunger.
-
I'm sitting here concentrating, taking notes like I'm in class...except it's 2am lol Thank you for such a thorough and informative video!
-
Really appreciate your love for the Garden!
-
I am so, so, so grateful that you combined these videos into one long tutorial. It is so difficult and time-consuming to try to track down all the information that one needs to learn how to be successful in gardening, and I am so thankful to have all of this in one place. Thank you for the extra work that you put in to make this complete tutorial!
-
I really appreciate the timestamps. a lot of other great youtube gardeners on here but never take the time to. it is absolutely frustrating having to go back to a video trying to find a certain step you missed or need to hear again. like hey I watched how to plant my peppers step by step but now I'm having to scan through your video frame by frame to catch that 10 second clip where you mentioned something important.
-
This man gives a PLAY BY PLAY BREAKDOWN of how to start the Plants and a complete detail of how to get things started. Gary, you live eat and BREATHE this stuff bro. Keep it up. We could use MORE gardening tips from ya my friend!!! HELP US!!! ^_^
-
So I just discovered you. I am so glad that you're videos are still up. I've always been a gardener but just accidental. This year because of the high prices of food I want to really capitalize on all of my garden area which is most of my yard. You are very informative and I am very appreciative. I found your trellis videos first and that's very exciting because I just built myself a couple of hoop houses. I can't wait to watch all your videos
-
This video is a gold mine, genuinely appreciate you taking the time and effort to providing such content💯🙏🏾
-
Gary: great voice, great style, great information - all in one place. Thanks!
-
Love this channel Gary and all the useful info. I'm an accomplished gardener with decades of experience but still rely on folks like you for all things gardening. I'm just a backyard hack but do well enough and pouring through your videos always gives me that edge and brushing up on what's best to do. I survive New England winters watching your videos and dreaming of warmer weather. Thanks for all the gardening work you do to impart your knowledge.
-
Just an added note.... This was a jewel of a video for a new gardener. Thanks again from Bend Oregon.
-
I grew my first garden last year based on these videos. Glad to see them all together collectively in a nicely done layout. Great work Gary!
-
thanks so much for the full vids, I appreciate them so much, especially the tips you're giving. you're such a hardworking, diligent, and practical gardener.. God bless you..
-
I have been watching this for almost two hours and now at 07:14 am morning has broken and time to get some sleep. Have to say this has been enjoyable to watch as my husband is ill in hospital and I just could not sleep but look forward to the spring and growing season for what I have viewed here to get started with. Will visit here again to take notes. Hope you are keeping and that dog of yours is doing well too? Thanking you for such a good video.

one of the best teachers of gardening got sent here from amazon music podcast
-
I just want to say thank you I haven’t seen videos on YouTube that show you step by step. I learn a lot from your videos 🙏🏽
-
Cannot believe that the length of this video has been no problem to me. It's so informative. Well done, Gary.
-
I purchased tomato and pepper seeds from your website. Watched your videos and im happy to say, 99% of the seeds have sprouted! This is my very first time starting seeds indoors. When i have questions, i refer to one of the many videos i have saved. Thanks so much!!
