- Garden tour Mid-May of Vegetable Gardens growing in Totes, Containers, Flower Pots and in the Ground, and of course, as I COMPOST in PLACE, (always tips and ideas as We go through). Things are changing, Food is growing, birds are breeding and eating our pesty insects. he New Driveway Garden is taking off in just weeks, Front yard garden, main garden and back garden is coming along. Squash and zucchini are taking off, setting up in the ground and in all kinds of contains, papayas are growing so big, and we get to eat them all week now, Peppers are flowering, tomatoes going great, lettuce we eat daily and so much more. The greens are still going strong, lots of kale, Swiss Chard, Purple Broccoli, Papaya plants and Papaya fruit, collard, purple tree collard, garlic chives, parsley, Chocolate Mint, strawberry mint, peppermint, and orange mint, herbs, lettuce, red vein sorrel, green sorrel, walking onions, and now the tomatoes, peppers, celery, moringa tree, radishes, sage, sweet stevia, peppers, oregano, thyme, basil, ginger, turmeric, squash, zucchini and so more vegetables are growing now. Solar fountains all over, bring in nature and birds. And even a military fly over today of the Thunderbirds, what a site, I wonder what the Cooper Hawks with babies thought.

Hi Robbie! I was a gardener for 30 years and a beekeeper for 13 years. I became ill and had to give up both. When I cannot be active, I watch your long videos! It is like being back in the garden. I appreciate all your videos (long and short). Not only are your tote gardens ingenious; but your plant recommendations and health comments are super healing. Thank you a million times!
started 2 totes, so far so good. our midwest weather nearly destroyed all of my garden.....but some is coming back. heavy rain, storms, tornados and gail force winds have been tough. today was a beauty. I sure miss living in huntington beach.
My last cat was a broccoli lover... lol had to laugh at the pup eating broccoli. Love this tour. It shows me that almost anything can grow in a container. Whether you eat everything or not, you're getting great joy from the planting and growing all these wonderful plants. Like flowers, we don't necessarily eat everything we grow. The story about your daughter giving away plantings and vegis, is great. She's teaching her world to grow things. I just found you, and have watched a couple videos. I just love what you're doing. Hope I can do a little too. Thanks for teaching us how you do it.
Finally gardening in Wisconsin! Composting by burying my kitchen scraps in peanut butter and mayo containers with only the top exposed so I can keep refilling. Thanks for the composting info!
Would love to see a video of you picking your produce for the kitchen!
Very cool Robbie ~ your videos are never way too long 💕 those Cooper hawk chicks are adorable! 🌞🌿🌞🍃😍
I love that you have a food forest in containers!!! Gives all of us renters hope
Everything is looking so healthy! Thanks for the tour. I can't believe how many hummingbirds I've gotten now! I see one whenever I look out the window, it's brought me such joy. This is my first year really putting feeders out and keeping them fresh.
So excited to see a use for the toile I bought for a wedding and didn’t use. We have so many birds in our yard. Not sure about worms. Gonna go on a hunt. I’m in the antelope valley desert. Thank for sharing. I had asphalt ground when I lived in Ojai and had a beautiful flower display and garden all in pots and totes. That was over 15 years ago. 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️❤️.
Julie, going to get the veil for my wedding 25 years ago.
You just gave me an idea where I can put it to good use. The collards, purple sprouting broccoli & other brassicas thank you and our special Robbie. And Gary.
Me and my sis started a beautiful garden and our vegetables are growing like crazy! Especially the pumpkin and zucchini. In my back yard far away from the garden a pumpkin decided to grow from the dry ground in-between tools! Ill let her do her thing wherever. I guess we have really good dirt in the neighborhood because my neighbors have a big guava tree and we have a loquat fruit tree. Love your chanel!
Robbie, I just emptied a second tote to use the compost in it for the green vegetables. I have a lot of kitchen scraps, "prunings" and "sweepings" to start them up again but no soil to use in between the layers. I may have to dig up some somewhere in my tiny yard because where we live Walmart won't deliver bagged soil. But I tell you, it's so much fun building up the totes! Eating from my garden I lost 4 lbs. in 2 weeks. Grateful!
One of my favorite garden channels
I love your garden Robbie but watching this video, I'm exhausted! Kudos to your energy and inspiration. So glad I found you.
Your garden is looking great, you've been working hard! Having a tree full of different, beautiful, nesting birds is magical ❤❤❤
I guess it is kinda off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released series online ?
wow how beautiful gardening you have all so beautiful lovely nature if you want to clean that water fontain use baking soda and vinegar or vinegar and lemon just make a paste and put it on leave while and wipe clean and for the deer if you don't want them close just hang a bar of soap and they will stay away thanks for sharing lovely garden all so beautiful creatures birds every thing oh and little dog some beautiful bye keep safe thanks again
You say lettuce and I dont see it, but I forgot theres wild lettuce. Finally I see someone that uses wild lettuce and not throw it away
Wow! I have never seen a geranium Like that!!! Stunning!
Hi Robbie & Gary. Good tour. Love the birts, too. Than you.
Lucky for me I work the graveyard shift so im up👀! First! That was a very cool ending!👍
I was going to wait until morning to post, but I figured some people are not sleeping that much these days, so I'd just post it now, THANK YOU! Take care, Robbie
Greetings from Santa Ana! It’s awesome seeing that tomato plant thriving in that clay soil. They are fighters.
Once that little tomato play got some that extra boost from that tote water, it just started to take off, Thanks so much, take care, Robbie
Drive Way Garden is Looking Great Nice Job
Growing SO fast, Thank you! Take care, Robbie

Love your property how you can look out across the land, and see wild animals, I notice your driveway look very Long,..have you showed the front of your house?., I would love to see the front of your house and how it's made, I picture it to be very big, love your personality 💯😀💖.Month.Ala

AWESOME! LOVED the tip about the thule clipped onto the tree. Thanks for sharing.
Can’t wait to hear about your method for growing seedlings! Thanks for making such calming and inspiring videos :)
Mine are not growing like others😙
I love the 1 hr video 🥰
Wow!! Just WOW! I'm amazed.
Looking Great Nice Job
Nice tour thanks.
🇬🇧 Ideal wall for planting fan trained stoned fruit against. And apples and pears. That wall really fills me with envy with such a sunny aspect. Stay Safe at Home. 💗💗🍑🍒🍐🍎
I thank you and appreciate all your great videos, I learned so much from you . I'm practicing two systems growing and using composed tea for my lawn , and it's so much greener and fuller. I ❣ you and Kitty
Wonderful, Thank you so much 😊 ❤️
You are amazing and so inspiring lady wow bless your garden.
Love all of your videos
Hi Robbie and Gary, Robbie, you have encouaged me to start my garden this year in Totes! OMG, a friend gave me five totes and I have some old very heavy wrough iron chairs and a curved seat that I am using to put the totes on to make them easier to get into and harvest. Once I get the things set up (hopefully by the end of this next week, since I live in New York), I will maybe be able to send some pictures, maybe even from my 'fledging channel', time will tell. Always enjoy your videos and your enthusiasum. God Bless and have a great weekend. Sherry :)
SUPER WALL "GREENVILLE" !
Watching your video is really relaxing 😎☺️ love your place Mam!❤️
Loved this video. Never too long Robbie and the baby birds were gorgeous
Love this, and love that like me, you live in southern Ca. Gives me high hopes for my new garden-I am using your tote method-thanks for the inspiration!
Hello,great garden. My over wintered pumpkin that grew from compost is ripening now. Have been able to pick peas and green beans. And i forgot ive picked 2 small cucumbers. Im learning from your gardening techniques. Thanks.take care.
I love your garden and geraniums. Geraniums are popular in Europe. Very loved flower. I always have them.
Robbie you and Gary are doing an amazing job by growing so much food and I love your videos.
I'm not sure why but them sounds that leaves form squash sound so satisfying when they are moved
I think we should save every seed we can I think thats where we are as a plant now
Great video!!!!
Beautiful
Amazing
I knew you would get the jets there. We saw them fly in and out of March day before. Then yesterday we caught them going by close and low as they headed over Riverside County hospitals on way to VA hospital and Loma Linda hospitals. What s thrill.
Bonjour Robbie, j'adore vos vidéos je plante dans des pots parce que je n'ai qu'un petit jardin de ville.J'ai beaucoup appris en vous regardant, grand salut de France.
I enjoy your videos so much. I have started composting in place and using totes. You've given me ideas on how to grow when I cant work at ground level. I'll have to look for old chairs. I wish i hadn't thrown out a few. But so far am using plastic shelving and an old table. Not lovely but it works. My squash are already showing fruit. And composting in place really works!
Your garden is looking great. You have been a busy woman. Love your channel!
Awesome, good job and creativity. Luv it.
🇬🇧 I plant bedding geraniums because they are reasonably drought resistant.
That tree @ 41:50 reminds me of the the catalpa tree we had behind the house I grew up in. It had long bean-like pods.
Just came across your videos and just love them! My husband and I love our hummingbirds and was happy to see I'm making my hummingbird recipe the same way! Please tell me what you use for your compost in your garden. I am getting ready to grow my own veggies.
You are wonderful....
You're a lovely and nice person.
Great garden....
Love to watch your videos...so inspiring
What do you do with all your harvest besides giving to family & using yourselves? Just curious!🥰
I always wanted to try to grow melons below some sort of long and narrow netted hammock. Like the ones used for camping. Would be cool if they had something to hang out on. Maybe you could try something like that against the wall some day.
hello from Menlo Park. These heat waves sure can kill a garde. I wanted to make my first tote - compost and I don't like the drill to make holes. I also don't have a sawdering iron. I had an idea. I have a glue gun, it worked perfectly. Thought that I would pass it along to your viewers. Nicole
Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for a soldering iron- can’t find them anywhere here! I’ll use my glue gun now!
Beautiful wonderful looking fantastic unbelievable
Wow, I must admit, things are growing fast, take care, Thanks! Robbie
Hi for west coast Canada. Loved this video!
Loved this video. By the way, I live in Riverside and I saw the Thunderbirds flyover too.
That was SO cool to watch them fly over, thanks so very much, take care, Robbie
your garden is awsome
Thank you for sharing Kitty and all the baby birds; so precious. I’m glad you grow some plants just because they are beautiful or have a nice fragrance. I do the same, too. You have tomatoes growing in mostly shaded areas. Is that better than full sun most of the day? Oh, by the way, you can talk my ear off any time. Thank you so much for sharing. Take care. Blessings
The weather has been weird in California. I live in Central Ca , yesterday it was windy but nice and sunny ...Now today it's overcast and windy. Your garden looks really good, you could feed an army!
I have to agree with you on the weather in So. Calif. as I notice a change that started last year. Thanks so much take care, Robbie
I would plant a grape against that wall. Right where that trellis is mounted against it. Plant it in the ground, it won't mind for it's roots run deep.
I wanted to compost in place, but I can't. Mr. Raccoon keeps digging in all my lg pots, even going into my garden seeing to find food. Will place potato peelings and onion peels in the bottom, but cantalope peelings drove him nuts. He just kept digging into my pots every day. Love to watch your green thumbs growing tons of food.
I thought about this and this is what i was afraid of. Thanks for this comment. We have some aggressive raccoons around here.
Maybe try putting tulle over it?
Add chilli peppers or Franks hot sauce 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
Or use leaves and branches and the food scraps the raccoon won’t eat in the tote. Then use Robbie’s double pot method for all the other food scraps: slightly bury a pot, out in kitchen scraps, etc, then put another pot with a plant into the scraps pot. You can lift the small plant pot to add more scraps. The top plant could be something pungent, like onions, chives, other herbs.
New to you! Love your videos! From glendora living in Azusa
Love Azusa. Used to live there for school and they grew the neatest plants at my university.
We pay bucks for geraniums here in the midwest. Jealous!
I didn't know hummingbirds liked geraniums! They are treated as annuals in northern Illinois where I live. I've tried to over winter them a few times but had no luck.
I did have some wild geraniums but no idea if they are still alive. We've been having a lot of rain here and my other lot is flooded with the neighbor's sump water. It's difficult for me to get around as it is so I'm missing out on blooms for sure.
47:19 Hey! There's a truckbed that's still on wheels!
I counted four Cooper Hawk chick's.
I love your garden, does fresh Stevia still have that yucky after taste?
You ever think of cross pollinating brassica family plants to creat a new plant
Do you think the eggplants will do better if they are spaced out a little?
Question: what's holding up that enormous cinderblock wall along your outer driveway garden
Would like to see how you plant lettuce 🙂
Hi! Most of my veggies this year will be in containers, a few in plots. Do you have ideas for keeping rabbits away? Saw 4 rabbits in my yard today as well as 2 nests of rabbits. Thank you!
She uses tulle. Gary built a barrier fence around his garden, and also uses tulle for small critters.
Do you lose the benefit of worms coming up and other nutrients pulling up from soil?
I started a tote garden
How often do you refresh the compost while growing ? And what is your growing/ watering recommendations for Moringa ( I killed 3 seedlings at different times) ?
Re: Geraniums...they distract bugs away from pepper plants. I like how low maintenance they are
The birds eat the seeds and poop and then plants grow lol. My mom learned that the heard way with Blackberries. She accidentally ruined her neighbor’s Rose 🌹 garden lol. The neighbor ended up cementing some of her garden, why? I have idea 🤣😂🌈
I have kept my Honeycrisp apple seeds to plant. Do you actually get fruit off the trees started from seed? If so how many years old does the tree need to be? Somewhere I had heard you don't. I also want to get a cutting off the Apricot tree at my parents old home. Can you explain how to do that? Thanks, Love your video's!
Could you do a small vlog on lemon balm. And Swiss chard. I think l have those plants around. But they came with the house so l don’t know if l do. I need to see the leaves. Thanks. Have s Beautiful day.
😍👍💓💗
Love your garden!! What do you do with Moringa?
Nice garden layout and plants from Los Angeles!
May I ask what kind of papaya plants you have?
Could you show us your recipe for green drinks?
Guessing your location is south So. Cal.
Ok I got a question for you...when doing compost in place, how do the worms get in the compost when the soil is bagged? Do I need to search for worms to put in the compost?
Yes, Robbie (I do also) hunts wild worms. However, since we all know what worms want to eat, just put your compost container on the dirt. Water it and check periodically. When you see worms under the container, there are probably also worms inside the container. You can also grab any worms you see when you lift the pot. Then put the pot elsewhere or spread the stuff inside the pot around and repeat. You will have tons of worms.
Hello Robbie, Do you have any advice to keep flies away?
How many squash plant you put in 1 gray container?
Hi Robbie hand Gary, I remember you doing a video regarding cleansing your Moringa trees in cardboard containers while not cardboard but paper cups and little cartons I can't remember if you did a milk carton or like oat milk carton they have a lot of wax on them but I'm wondering if they would work for me to transplant my moringa tree into and then put in the ground when it gets a little bigger? Will the cart and break down enough because of the wax on the carton?. I love your videos and I am making more and more of memes for my garden. I do have a hard time walking and have to get around most of the time in a wheelchair so this makes gardening a little difficult for me but if I get time away from family and grandchildren then I like to get out there and work in my Tubbs. I had made soil the way you do in a pot and it has sat for about four months and I kept watering it. I live in 9B Glendale Arizona and I pruned my grapes and my fake trees for the very first time after planting them the spring before they were tell dormant. I trim them and left only a couple of little leaves and cut them in half. I did not put any rooting hormone on them. I did scratch a little line in the very bottom about 1/2 inch. Stuck them in this black pot with the dirt that had been sitting there for a while of course I kept it watered. I also had a 5 gallon bucket that I had built soil and and I stuck the other big cutting and grape vine cuttings in it along with some grape vine cuttings in one of my tubs that was about a year old. They all have grown very very well. I Love Your Way of gardening. It is something I can do for myself. While the raised beds that we have my granddaughter tends to them. Thank you for all of your gardening tips dedication
How do you use the black turmeric? I have MS, I take 20 pills a day. The majority are for MS, couple for other things and the rest are vitamins. Turmeric is a vitamin I take that helps with inflammation. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I was incredibly disappointed with Malabar spinach. Yes, I do think it's a beautiful plant but it becomes very weedy with the seeds. Is much as I used the seeds 4 dye oh, it's still receded itself like crazy which wouldn't be a problem if I liked it but the fleshy leaves are very slimy unless you get them very very young and I just did not like it at all to eat. I think it's a vile plant. And I had heard so much about it, but I don't think people have eaten it. And then Asian Cuisine they use the very young shoots and those are the only part that I have found edible the rest of it was just a waste of growing in space.
You love your walking onions but never tell us what you do with them all
Hey robbie... we have dinosaur 🦕 kale... does dazzling blue kale taste different? Or would you say its the same taste...just prettier to look at?
I’m new to gardening- what does it mean when you say “it’s going to go to seed”?
"it's going to go to seeds" mean they will produce flowers and seeds very soon. Most leaves eating crops when they are producing flowers, we wouldn't be able to enjoy their leaves any more. They are starting to get hard and taste bitter.
how do you keep squash bugs off your squash plants?
They are hard to beat hear in NC! Turn over the leaves and squash all egg clusters. You can then spray with dawn dish liquid mixed in water onto the plants. Google the ratio
I meant here in NC! 😝
