Once again amazed by Michelle Carters teaching abilities. She needs a series of videos and I would preorder a book by her!
can i just come up there anytime and take a tour of this farm?
I loved this video! Jeremy talks just like Garth from Wayne's World. great!
You can hear the amount of insects in the background.
"Ditches are the reservoirs of our future." this was wonderful! thank you!
Loved this film. Thank you. Please do more!
Ok, I just ordered several of these pollinators. Thanks for the great info.
My favorites are borage, comfrey, sage, oregano. These work all late spring and fall to produce flowers for the pollinators. It's September, these are all still flowering.
I truly have enjoyed your videos, and just want to thank you from the very depth of my heart for the work you do. I am passionate about organic gardening, saving pollinators, and growing as much food as I possibly can for my family from my edible landscape. Regarding mint, I also want to add that my sister plants mints of all kinds around her chicken coop & their free range area of her yard and swears that has kept the mice infestation she used to battle away. I'll be planting mint all around my chicken coop/yard and all around my honey bee hives because I do have field and house mice that like to infest my chicken coop and I don't want them to also invade my bees. Have you ever heard anything about mint also being used as an effective, natural mouse repellent?
She talks like a little girl and says almost every single sentence like it's a question. I find it so annoying and distracting I haven't finished a single video of hers. =(
I love love love garden tours. You get to see what the gardeners All About by the plants they have giving a home. Because from the plants The Gardener has chosen you can tell if they are passionate about this beautiful place we call home. Thank you for bringing us along
