I just re-watched this video and you crack me up. It’s too bad you don’t have anything fun going on in your life and you have no hobbies at all lol. I love how your interests are all over the place. Keep having fun in your life!
Precious girl, you had me crying with you about not having your family for Thanksgiving! I can't watch anyone cry. Then you had me laughing when you said"Fizzle Frazzle keep it down you should be happy, it's not like you are a turkey". ROFLMAO! Love Ya!

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Thank you so much for answering my questions!! As a former plant killer just getting started it helps so much!! I really appreciate it! If you're ever in Louisiana hit me up! I feel like we would be best friends. I love to sing too but that isn't something the Lord blessed me with. 🤣
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for hoodies too! Between my wreck & this covid stuff, I've gained about 35 POUNDS!!! 😩😞☹ (I was rear-ended really bad by an oil-tank truck doing at least 70 mph so I'm not able to do much of anything anymore!).
I only just saw this! I'm glad I asked that question about your other hobbies, wow your a busy lady!! You should be a singer 😂😊 I feel so privileged that you answered my questions and with so much detail. You and your family are awesome, hope you all have the Merriest of Christmases and the Happiest of New Year's 🎄💗🇦🇺

Hi! Welcome 💐 There is a lot to binge!
just watched this video. one of the first things i decided when i started my garden last year, is that i will be doing rain barrels. I bought one from walmart, premade and i made four from 44gallons trash bins. Planning to put 6 more barrels. These are the garden life-savors. also, glad you did not have it hard with your covid. My daughter got it, i did not(she lives with me), but she only lost her taste for a few days, that was all.
A single strand of electric fencing deer will run right through. A two or three strand electrified fence has been a pretty good deterrent. Also works: two non-electrified fences at about 3' high 4-5 feet apart. This last is particularly good if you realize deer come from just one direction and are tasting as they travel through. It is important to put that up and change their travel route so it is in place right after they give birth in the spring and start moving about.

Deer you can do a two-tiered system. There are several farms around me that do this, it's not electrified and it's not tall. Depth perception thing.

QUESTION: How many CSA's did you do this year? I know you've invested a lot in the past couple years, so did you limit to that # of CSA's because of possibility of not having enough flowers to do anymore than that, or because that is all you will have TIME to pick & arrange?
Have you try winter sowing in jugs ?

I saved some of my lily bulbs recently. I put them in a Ziploc bag full of soil. But the problem is I don’t know where to store them. I live in the south, New Orleans to be exact, any ideas?
I love your channel - and this was. great episode. However, I must have missed the answer to the question in the title "how do I price bouquet bar stems"? can you answer again here, or tell me where it is in the video (time)? Thx!

Hi! Love your channel!! Were your Dahlia tubers diseased when you received them or did they get a disease after you planted them? Do you know what disease it was? I've ordered some Dahlias to try growing a few for the first time, so I'm just curious if there's anything to look out for to avoid this! 😥
