But first, I want to thank Leif, a regular viewer, for sending us a special package of seeds for us to grow out together. Leif, Thank you for your thoughtful and generous gift. Much appreciated.

Christmas Tree Recycling + Blueberry Bush Transplant

The clearance section is a fun place to shop. More often than not the plants found there turn out to be gems. Like the one found back in Fall of 2013. It was when we scored a ‘Sunshine Blue’ blueberry bush on clearance for 8 bucks. Ever since, the bush has produced and produced.

Now comes the nerve wrecking moment when we finally set it in the ground.

NED Gardens Across America — Finale

The finale to our participation in the Gardens Across America Project– a seed saving / seed awareness project. For the project we were able to send back seeds of: ‘Powder Star’ pole bean, ‘Kirlangic’ or ‘Tiger’ melon, ‘Abigail’s Coffee’ okra, and ‘Yixuan Sweet’ watermelon.

Gardening Gear: EP.2 Digging Tools

In the previous video we looked at a few tools for new gardeners. After some initial gardening you’re probably ready to get some serious work done. Often times that involves moving some earth. In this episode we look at a couple of common and iconic digging tools. In addition, we will look at a gardening tool that is less iconic and very fun to use– a drain spade.

Like the hand mattock, the idea to try out a drain spade came from watching professional landscapers using them.

The Last Episode of 2016

Other than why I keep saying, “stretch out our feet” instead of “stretch our legs,” 2016 has been a great year. In our final episode of the year we will talk about:
The Weather, Highlights of 2016, & Things To Look Forward To In 2017.

Thanks for taking part in our productive year! Everyone have a wonderful NYE and Happy 2017!

Succulent Garden Tour

Today we will look at some of the succulents that we have amassed over the years. I will talk about a little about what it is that draws some of us into growing succulents.

Post Rain Front Yard Garden Walk

The rain is something that I enjoy very much. When it pours, I like to go out there and feel the rain. Immediately after the rain is also another a special time. This video captures yet another special time; the period when the sun pokes through the clouds.

December 2016 Backyard Garden Walk

This video ran longer than originally intended. There is so much more to share; I sincerely hope that you enjoy this video. Along with vegetables we will look at some fruit trees like, Yuzu citrus, ‘Moro’ and ‘Sanguinelli’ blood orange, ‘Bearss’ lime, and ‘Reed’ avocado.

Additionally, we’ll look at our newest growing area.
