Very informative video Mrs Mac thanks for sharing with us. I have started som seed but they are so leggy and I lost some but if I get one plant I would have paid for the seeds.
Thanks for sharing
Chickens can eat marigolds, I just don't know what the ratio would be for feed. I do know that the marigold acts as an detox for the chickens and makes the yolks darker like a dark orange color.
thnx for sharing Mrs Mac. I can't wait for it to dry up enough for me to get out in my garden this yr. I have so many starts to get in the ground. I am waiting to plant these starts in my grow cabinet before I start my peppers. I think I will need to up pot more of my tomatoes before then tho.Spring is on its way. The grass is growing and every thing is getting greener.
Now having a dairy farmer’s daughter living with us, I understand the blah of having to buy store homogenized milk. Is there not a farm you can get raw milk from locally?
Thanks for a informative gardening video.
that's impressive that it lasted as long as it did.
I have aloe that you gave me and you can have some of it if you want.. i got to separate anyways ❤️ just let me know
I'm growing more herbs this year!! I can't wait!! Did not think of starting the sunflowers but I'm going to now!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Can you take the aloe, save the gel inside and dehydrate that? It works well in soaps and salves.
All fantastic suggestions! You’re right! Most nurseries and even big box stores will give you seed trays. Just a little hot water and soap will clean them out perfectly! ❤️
Love marigolds 👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Me and my girl spent the day rebuilding our greenhouse that got torn down in the 80 plus mile an hour winds. Seeds are all ready planted. Hoping we all have a great gardening year. Hagd.
Oh, man! I’m sorry about your aloe! But, I bet you enjoyed getting those seeds started! 😁
How do you keep the bugs from eating the sunflower seeds?
When we freeze the milk it doesnt thaw well. I have a freezer full but it doesnt "go back together" …..How do i fix that?
Really enjoyed this video. I love fresh basil leaves in my salads. Makes everything taste so fresh.
Yap, I dehydrate my herbs all the time.
That's such a bummer about all that aloe
I looove basil. Can you share your basil lemonade recipe, please?
You have great long term planning! I am jealous of your greenhouse. My boys hate store bought milk they prefer just going with out to drinking that "plastic milk" as they call it! I know this is way past when you actually filmed this. But you can feed the pigs and chickens that dead aloe… They will get good out of it!
It’s your ‘She shed’
