I'm so grateful you are both still making videos together. They are so beautifully done, and you're both very good teachers.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for coming back to us!
I’m glad you included your fails. It’s a nice thing to learn from others’ mistakes. I’m so new to gardening and everything seemed to be a mess. Now I’m learning from your setup and experience. Thank you.
So happy to see you two back on YT, I've missed you. I was wondering how you were going to both be in the video, but the magic of editing makes is possible. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your new lives, new locations and new gardens (and your fails!) I will enjoy watching your two gardens grow this year! And as always, the cheer and laughter in your voices always cheers me too!
You are welcome!
Love seeing you both in your new garden spaces!
I've never heard anyone call a storm shelter a frady hole. 👍🏼 I love it. My grandparents usually called theirs a cellar. I'm not sure how to spell it. It might be a made-up word. 😆
I love seeing your videos. I live in a colder climate so I’m a little behind you. Seeing green after a cold winter is so refreshing!
It’s neat watching you start a garden over again from nothing.
I agree! Super helpful!
Thank you for continuing to make videos together.
So glad you are continuing your videos. Moving from TX to SC has me behind on my gardening and I am just setting up my seed starting. I was able to get some trees installed in our backyard for privacy and will work on keeping them alive through the summer heat. Wishing good luck and good weather to all gardeners.
I’m behind too! And I keep telling myself to just do my best this year and hopefully next year I’ll be more “on it”. Best of luck to you too!
Thank you for sharing the good and the bad! Enjoy your videos.
Nice to see that you ladies found yourselves some great looking (and helpful) "farm hands"! 🤣I find it so helpful to see more than one garden/seed starting set up etc. Seeing there is more than one way to tackle challenges encourages me to think outside the box. Our country and world have gardeners growing lovely things in such diverse locations - seeing more than one way to get the tasks done all in one video is such helpful information!
Oh good! There are so many ways to start seeds, garden, live life. 😁 We all need to find our own path, and we hope that sharing ours will help others find theirs.
And best farm hands ever! 😁
I love seeing your new spaces! 😊
I just really love your videos! So peaceful to watch!
I can always relate to garden fails…my onions actually bulbed up and we have used them. I am doing better at trying to limit my seed starting to things that I eat and use
The purple stems on the tomatoes indicates stress. Heat, cold, really a lot can stress them. In the end it can produce a hardy plant, but stunted.
You’re welcome! I enjoyed spending time with you. So calm & satisfying to watch! I’m so proud of all your hard work. I know much gorgeousness will result! 💐
You're the best! 😁
And I would enjoy spending a few real life minutes with you again. 😉
Yay, the sisters are back!!
I’m on city water and I never even thought to let it sit/worried about the chlorine. It’s never seemed to be an issue. I’ve been growing seedlings indoors for several years now.
Good to know!
I much prefer watering on top of the seed cells as well. That's more in line with how mother nature keeps seedlings alive and lets face it, she knows best.
That’s a great point!
Thank you.
I use seed starting mix that has zero nutrients, intentionally. The seeds have enough self built in nutrients to survive until they get their first true leaves, and that's when they get a half strength dose of liquid fertilizer, increasing strength as they grow.
Also, I sterilize my seed starting mix with boiling water before sowing seeds to ensure any fungus gnat eggs will die... so I figure it may damage nutrients.
Loved seeing both your setups! Rosita, I too have city water and keep water in gallon jugs for all my house plants and seedlings. I fill mine right after watering so they usually stand there for a week. I have yet to notice any issues after several years of doing so!
That's good to know! 😊
I use my city water right out of the tap although sometimes I’m nice and let it warm to room temperature or sit overnight, which I’ve heard helps. (I haven’t noticed a difference in the growth of my plants but my testing is nowhere near scientific.) I’ve also experimented with rainwater. I think they might prefer it but honestly they mostly just have to make it through a few weeks under the grow lights until they can go outdoors and enjoy the rain. Ideal and practical are 2 different things for my indoor growing situation.
I started San Marzano tomatoes from seeds and the plants were tall and SKINNY. I just transplanted them outside and so I'm hoping they well survive and thrive! My ranunculus didn't produce many flowers but I'm guessing it's because I didn't do anything to the soil before I planted them. There is nothing like spring to give us hope of a harvest! :)
Hoping those San Mariano’s live up to the hype. 😁 My mother in law told me that a small fan or some wind action will sturdy up spindly tomato seedlings right quick. So yours will hopefully be just fine. My ranunculus is just starting to bud. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hi, I enjoyed learning from you girls. Can you make a video explaining how you lay out your weed barrier or landscape fabric?
We’ll keep it in mind!
Is there a specific reason for it being helpful to start seeds in soil blocks, rather than straight in the seed trays? I've never seen how (or why) to start in soil blocks before. Thanks for all you two share! I enjoy your videos. :)
The main reason is to save on plastic. I have noticed that my seedlings are often healthier if grown in soil blocks than in inserts. They definitely don't get as root bound.
my chives didn't germ either this year...Thank goodness I had extra plants outside I split. Everything is looking great!! You girls are working so hard to set up flower beds again. I'm curious.....were you able to "dig up" some of the perinial plants from your old place and transplant???? (roses, peony's, etc)
No we haven’t gotten to many of the perennials yet. I think that will be a fall project.
My chives have not sprputed, either. Getting readu yo buy a new pack and start again.
Maybe chives are like onions and they need colder temps to germinate?
That’s a good point!
