Unrealistic Gardening Expectations

Unrealistic Gardening Expectations

Grab a cup of coffee or soda or glass of juice and join me in my indoor wonderland of green where I explain how to achieve realistic gardening expectations as well as show some more tips on successfully growing various organic vegetables such as peppers, tomatoes, tomatillos, bush beans…and even potatoes! I’m having a great day today, but it’ll be even better if I could get you to take a few minutes to hang out with me. It’s always funner when you drop in. :) ps: I promise not to throw potting soil this time, ok?

Question by J-Dawn: What should I get for my gardening grandfather for Christmas?
I’ve bought for everyone but my grandfather. He’s 82 and loves gardening and water gardening. Usually, I get him a bird feeder (he loves bird watching) or something that has to do with hummingbirds. This year I’m at a loss. I’m a first year teacher on my own and on a very limited budget. Any ideas?

    Tomatillos are actually related to gooseberries.

    Randy said “I’m da boss!” twice in the video “How to Make Square Foot Gardening Soil Mix – in Real Time”. Also, whom ever the winner may be, can they donate some of their winnings to something. For example if I won could I donate some of my winnings to a place like american seed alliance if I chose so.

    Randy says “i’m da boss”, two times in the video “how to make square foot gardening mix” once in the intro part of the video explaining what they are doing and how they are doing it which is at 1:30, and the second time when mixing the soil and they were talking about why Randy mixes the soil which is at 8:43. this took me like 5 days, so im being very specific!

    If he doesn’t already have one, what about those knee cushions, so he is comfortable kneeling and they’re in expensive.

    How about a young tree? real gardeners take no notice of the fact that they will be long dead when a plant matures, I think when I am old if someone buys me that I will be very touched at the thought that it will live on after me. Of course you have to know how your grandfather will take the idea!
