I'm Mary Jane Duford & I'm here to help beginner gardeners! I’m a busy mom with a backyard garden and a house full of plants here to help you find the plants you love (and help them thrive).
After buying my first apartment, I got really into indoor plants, container gardening, microgreens, and growing culinary herbs. Now that I’ve got a patio and a yard, I’m also all about the perennial garden beds (flowers mostly), my vegetable garden, growing culinary herbs, and teaching my kids and my friends to garden too! I’m learning as I go and taking you along with me.
I’ve grown the most delicious tomatoes and the most watery, tasteless tomatoes. I’ve killed numerous houseplants before learning how to take care of them. And I am still learning to grow plants every day, month, and year.

Thanks you for your video!❤❤ May I ask the distance between each bulb? How many inches should I keep in width? In this fall, it will be my first time to plant several lily bulbs in my garden. Thanks u again! 🎉🎉
I bought my snake plant and I looked after it properly , few days ago two mushrooms appeared beside the plant , any idea what to do ?
No wonder my peony has no flowers, I planted them 6" below the ground. I wonder if it will grow in the raised bed garden. I live in Wisconsin where temp is below 5 to 10 in winter.
Glad I watched this before planting.excellent detailed content thanks🤙🏻
Awesome instructions. You made it sooooo simple. Thank you so very much!🙏🏾
what kind of potting soil!!❤
I’ve just found out about hydrangeas I love them !! I now need to put my own in the ground instead of helping myself to other peoples😮!
Your soil looks so good. What can I add to mine to allow my new Wu to thrive? My current soil is sooo dry/light/and some clay. Thanks!
Mine dies off when I plant it out
Not sure any I watched this AFTER repotting mine. Mine was very root bound but I was scared of damaging the roots so I didn’t do much unraveling 😞
I can't find the update video. Is there one? Cheers
They look great! Can you do a summer tour please?
Very helpful!
Thank you thank you thank you. I am a first time plant grower. And this video has help me so very much
Wondering if you can do a wisteria update?

Thanks for the video. It was very helpful with taken care of Peggy (mother plant) and Kelly (bud plant) my aloe vera plants.
How many weeks for them to sprout?
Thank you❤❤❤❤
You forgot the links to the potting siol .
So no pics of the sunflower seeds 😅
Blue Moon was developed in Japan not USA . It hates wind and needs full sun and lots of space on top of earth and below no other roots . In wind it will never flower at all .Hardy to zone 4 -9
Thank you so much for this simple and easy to follow guide. I am planting my very first garden in my very first home, and I am starting with five peony plants and five rose shrubs. 💖💐
Im a bit stressed abou the repotting. I hope I can bring the chill vibe of this video to my task today 😌
it didnt look like you pushed out air pockets
Looks like my potatoes are growing! Now what do I do??? ha ha (I don't think they can be stored, but I do want to be able to continue growing if I need them. Should I be planting in my backyard after the bag? Thank you!!!
how to recognise which Cousa dogwood is edible ? If they are not edible are they poisons
I just bought mine today. 😊 Any advice or tips are appreciated. 😊
I was told let it get used to the new environment and after month you can repot it .
What they don’t tell you, but should: DONT plant all the pods. Do two at a time. Some of these plants, like basil and mint grow very tall and bushy. They will crowd each other out within the tiny space given to them to grow in this system. Do a little research and know what you are growing.
My first time with geraniums. There going bald from all the beheading? ( that sounds awful) I sure hope they come back.
Do you have links to the grow bags you use? I don't see it in the description
I was happy to see that I am growing almost all of the varieties you listed as your favorites... great minds
I planted mine 40cm apart. I simply don’t have time to wait 5 years for privacy.
You don't have 5 years of time left?
Haha!
I've just installed mine 😂 seems good 😊 can't wait for growth will update Patti from Newark Delaware ❤️
Bare roots here are $20 for 8 + shipping. I've tried overwintering strawberries in the past but they keep dying. Any suggestions?
Thank you
new home new plant ..got lime hydra cause no maintenance. was i suppose to cut blooms off every year ir just leave them...they look brwn this spring..maybe i was suppose to cut them off? thank you for answer.
Will this be good for a beginner? My uncle has an awesome garden 🪴 and kind of got me wanting to do this as well. And what type of soil do you use? And new to the channel
I planted russet potatoes in a cloth bag. It doesn't need holes in the bottom because it is cloth and breathes. My plants are huge. I water every day because it has been very warm here. The plants have been flowering for 1 month now. It is early June. I am counting the days to 120 for russets. I can't wait for harvest. I also have yukon gold, red, and sweet potatoes planted.
How do you raise the light platform of Harvest Elite Aerogarden?
Why are we promoting alien Invasives? This crap has infested everything on my property. And it's not easy to remove. Why not native Ginger, etc. At least it's easy to remove to edit it if needed. Good luck on this in 5-10 years.
My favorite slices: Mortgage Lifter, Gold Medal, Giant Belgian Pink, Aunt Rubies German Green and Cherokee Purple. I must say, this was quite a tasty video. I can't wait for my next Heirloom BLT.
Nice setup
I have to report my monstera I'm scared
I just hope you wont be using the bowl for food anymore
how is it doing now? How much did it grow? I'm interested in planting a wysteria.
What do i do once the blooms go to seed? I cut them but do they keep growing once the blooms go?
Isn't using a PE or ceramic pot bad since it contains toxic metals??
If I were to water the arborvitae everyday for the first 2 months, then will root rot occur?
Hi! Where did you get your peonies that cheap? The cheapest ive gotten mine are $19.99
