GREENSTALK CODE: BE A FARM GIRL ($10 Off Your Purchase). www.greenstalkgarden.com Looking for the BEST way to achieve incredible gardening results in a small space? Well darlin' you CAN grow sizable harvests even with just a deck, patio or pavement. Let's grow together! xoxox Cassandra :)
I love her!! We are renting a home and this is our 4th year container gardening. We have grown tomatoes, multiple pepper plants, zucchini, cucumbers, strawberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, green beans, snap peas, raspberries, spinach, kale, Swiss chard, onions, chives, lettuce, mustard greens, carrots, and a multitude of flowers for pollinators! It really is possible! I have chosen to use this time in a rental home wisely and learn to grow my own organic food, learn to cook from scratch, can and preserve my food, make Sourdough bread from scratch while we wait for our forever home. It’s been good for my soul. My children love it and look forward to it every year as well!
I’m going to get a few and a really looking forward to growing greens and such… but you said you grew watermelons and cantaloupes? ‘Do you mind sharing how you did that in these?
@@jrs3359 I used 5 gallon buckets. One watermelon plant per 5 gallon bucket. One cantaloupe per 5 gallon bucket. Or any other bucket that can fill with 5 gallons of soil or more. 5 gallons is a minimum for melons. I then bought a cheap trellis and let the canteloupe vines and watermelon vines grow up the trellis. I also successfully used a tomatoe cage for melon vines. As the melons grow and become heavy, we used a support like old pantyhose to cradle them, sort of like a tiny hammock. I grew smaller sized melon, around 5-6 lbs each.
I’m a uni. student and rent a veggie patch from the city for a little under $100 a year. Saves me lots of money and I give away veggies to my relative who is over 90 yrs. old, which feels nice to be able to help them out finacially by gifting them veggies. It’s also nice to get in those extra extra visits to them. Seeds is something I save from the crops, so no need to head out and buy them anymore. It just feels so lovely to grow your own food❤
I am 82 years old and have been gardening forever, this is just what I need now that I can)'t get down on the ground or take care of my large garden it will let me garden again. I love it.
You have given us enough information about the Greenstalk planter. I would love for you to talk about your actual gardening - what you plant, when, what varieties, what has worked well, what hasn’t. I love your channel and appreciate all the information you provide!!
Sometimes you gotta use your discernment. FOR ME, it's usually pretty clear which folks are a walking commercial and who is genuinely.... well.... you know. Sometimes you can even tell by the *type* of audience a person collects if their price has been met.😏Beyond that, they gotta do what they're paid to do. I took Me *ONE* of her videos to know what to expect here (without even having to sit through the whole thing), lol. I encourage finding ppl with "UNPRODUCED" vlogs (while you still can), like the original REALPEOPLE videos that BUILT utube. They aren't popular anymore and are deliberately hidden from most searches, but they never uploaded videos for popularity and I predict that they'll soon be the endangered unicorns with everyone becoming "manufactured" and signing up to be owned by sponsors. 🤣🤣🤣🤣And those genuine & unproduced gardeners will likely be the laaaaast sources of REAL information in this era of society. BUUUUT in all fairness, if you "love & appreciate" her channel, then My recommendation is not likely for you and I hope you continue to enjoy her content! Happy gardening!!
She is right. It doesn't take a huge yard to grow tons of vegetables. Once you get it going whether in pots or plots, you'll find you are harvesting so much that you have to give some to neighbors, friends, work colleagues and more. If you know how to can, you'll have plenty for the winter months to get you through. And guess what? Gardening is so therapeutic for your mind and soul. For me the minute I put my hands in the soil, I feel at peace. It can't be explained, you just have to experience it. So get to gardening! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Amazing! I have 3 forested acres and 2 years in a row feral pigs have destroyed every in ground garden. From watching this I am building a garden deck just to do this out of the reach of Sounders (groups of pigs) Hawaii's food costs have increased 400%. You read that right so food sustainability has become our #1 focus. Thank you for sharing this important info.
I hope your sponsorship pays you well because you had me convinced within the first two minutes!!!! running to tell my boss to purchase this for the garden. Thank you happy harvesting!
I love growing vertically and I have a yard. I can grow so much more vertically and leaves the land for fruit trees, berry bushes, a pond, chickens as well as a raised growing bed. By far growing vertically is the way to go if you really want to grow food.
Yeah. I DO encourage folks who are starting out on a small budget, to not worry too much about it tho, if you can't scrounge up much for free or cheap just yet to help you grow vertically. I grew up on, and my grandma raised 8 kids on, gardens with basically NO vertical growing at all ! Tomato cages, and not even great ones, were it ! I DO find lots of benefits to trellising things tho, so, yeah, if u can, try it ! Small sized winter squashes, cucumbers, melons ( cantaloupe), pole beans of all kinds, peas and tomatoes & tomatillas. It CAN be a bit tricky to avoid casting too much shade on nearby crops, so, watch for that, choose wisely ( there's tips on the internet for this topic).
I’m 75, but hope I’m around when you get your own farm because you seem to love what you do so much. Wish I’d had a mentor to show me the way when I was younger. I was busy traveling the world with my 28 years in the Navy husband. Having babies in Italy & South Carolina. You show us all of it Sweetie! You’ve Got This Thang!
I bought a Greenstalk for my daughter in law as a starter for her. She, my son & granddaughter moved from CA to PA on July 2nd and she wanted to be able to plant something this year. I gifted her a planted out Greenstalk and it is thriving on her deck. She's already harvested peppers and has a bunch of bush beans just about ready. I was a bit jealous of her Greenstalk so i just ordered 2 for myself to supplement the 2 raised beds I have. Thanks for the inspiration.
Aren't these planters just the best?! I mean, they really take a lot of the guesswork out and are perfect for folks that need an efficient garden routine, or don't have a lot of space, or are new to gardening. I truly feel like I have my own little farm with 5 of these things :). I'm so happy that you've experienced how great these planters do and that you're taking the plunge too! Keep me posted!
You are Amazing Sweet Pea! I love everything you do. And so very informative. We just moved to A L A B A M A! From Tennessee. Alabama is not so bad if you move to Auburn or a bigger town. But we’ve moved to the boonies. When we 1st came we saw nothing but pine trees & pecan trees. Cotton & peanuts. My husband looked up & said LORD, IS THIS NIVETH? May the Good Lord Continually Bless The Work Of Your Hands. You just keep on a keepin’ on. You will Go Far!
I turned mine into a strawberry tower. I tried with the leafy veg but the pest pressure was to much. I purchased a indoor aerospring hydroponic system which holds 27 plants and its amazing.
Girl, I have been waiting on you!! Yay!!!!!!!! Tashanna I have four green stalks now because of you, lol!! Used your code!! Hopefully, you get the credit for promoting them!!
Hey lady! Aren’t these things addictive?! 🤦🏾♀️ I remember seeing other people with multiple planters and I’d be like, “Lord, let that never be me” and here I am because goodness, once you get a system going I truly feel like I have my own small farm out back! I appreciate it so much that you used my code! The support truly means a lot!!!
This was so welcome in my feed. I was down the rabbit hole of containers and wanted to set up my garden for this year. As a beginner, dealing with containers and shooting from the hip, I knew I needed more information. One year I'd have everything I needed and a great harvest, and then another I'd have aphids and something else that killed everything...not to mention ground hogs and skunks. I was so discouraged and stopped for a few years. This may be the solution I need. Thank you!!!
Thanks for teaching people these things. I tried to tell friends they could do this and they did not believe me. You are proving what I told them is true.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! I have a FB group, GreenStalk Gardening Groupies, and we have literally been talking about this topic. What perfect timing!!! I just shared this link to the group. Thank you Cassandra.
I just want to say you radiate! I love how you made this video super educational and found ways to highlight them without it coming off as inorganic 🤞🏼👩🏾🌾💛
I’m assembling my GreenStalk today and I’m soooooo excited. Thanks so much for the great tutorial and inspiration!!! You really take the angst out of growing food. Being a raw vegan this is a HUGE blessing. I’m grateful for you!
This is amazing!! Thank you! I live in an apartment and have a fairly decent sized patio and have been trying to figure out how to grow veggies without all the multiple containers. I'm so tired of how expensive veggies have become and I eat a lot of veggies! This way, I can still have my outdoor seating area and a place to keep my bicycle.
firm believer in everyones ability to grow at LEAST one thing they can replace from getting at the grocery store! leafy greens grow quickly! so many veggies you get at the grocery can get reused to start your garden too!
New subscriber here. I am from UK. Recently gave up my half plot at a local allotment site. Was becoming a chore to maintain but I still wanted to grow. So I have decided to grow at home in my small yarden, as I call it (a concreted yard area and a very small garden). I have bought 2 Green Stalk planters (only just been made available to a UK supplier). I have 2 mixed or combo ones. Have yet to set them up, but you have given me a lot of ideas. We are quite limited on what we can get over here, and no flash sales. Hence they are rather expensive in the UK, but I love the idea of them.
Two Greenstalks arrived today! So excited to start my fall garden on my concrete patio! Thanks for letting me know about these miracles from Tennessee. Love your channel Cassandra. You have taught me so much.
Growing vegetables in our garden is so out of my comfort zone but has been extremely intriguing for years. We'll do it one day! I'm so glad that your channel was recommended to me today. Your produce looks lovely & how satisfying to grow your own food. Will definitely find time to binge watch your playlists. It's always great to find a fellow black woman outside of the commentary, hair, makeup and finance channels which I regularly & thoroughly enjoy) You have a new subscriber from the UK...
Oh, you're so knowledgeable about gardening. You delivered in such fun manner. Love that presentation. And by the way, your precious pooch is adorable. Keep up the excellent work. Cheers!! A new fan.
Thanks for this video, you have really inspired me to grow a vertical garden as well. And I appreciate the representation of seeing a black woman gardener.
Wow girl, wow!!! I've been watching your channel a few months, and I guess I've never seen a vid with you out on your patio. All those garden hauls/cooking vids I've seen, I just assume you were on at least a quarter-acre+. Label me TRIPLE IMPRESSED!!! Gotta say - never has a sponsored segment made me smile and NEED a product at this level. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. Thanks for all of your efforts, and sharing so much fantastic information and inspo with us!!! ❤❤
Haha! No way?! Yup, I’m in a townhouse and we don’t have any grass out back. Until my husband retires from the Navy we’re gonna be planted here, and that’s just fine because it gives us time to slowly learn homesteading skills and make do with what we’ve got! I’ve gone Greenstalk crazy because it makes the most sense for my space and makes me feel like I’ve got my own little farm out back. I truly appreciate the compliment! I hope to have an acre or two one day!
I love your energy! I have 4 GSs and wouldn't do without them. I have better results growing in them than in ground for all the reasons you mentioned plus we have compacted clay soil. 18:54 There is nothing GS puts out that isn't top notch. Thank you for your vids they give me extra inspiration. I enjoyed your article in the magazine too!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl - Aww, I really wish you and your sweet hubs the very best, and that you get your dream homestead really soon - if anyone can make the most of it, you sure will!!
Oh my gosh I love to see it! Congratulations on being featured in the green stalk magazine and working with such a cool company! I clicked cause I was just in the mood to watch a video of yours, but now you've convinced me to have a vertical garden! I originally assumed it would be much more difficult.
I have to say Cassandra you are flawless. That was the best infomercial I have ever seen. Your honest face, easy going friendly manner, your knowledge. You should own stock in this product. It looks like a fantastic product. Most infomercials have untrustworthy looking people. Not you, I would trust you with my life. 😄 You are Professional.
Hi Alice! Honey you know how to slather on the compliments! I'm truly just a very satisfied customer that can't help but show other small space homestead dreamers that there are ways to maximize your growing space. These little planters bring me so much joy! Seeing my plants grow, being able to harvest several bowls of salad a week, increasing my confidence with learning to make my own fertilizers, it's truly just been a blessing.
@@BecomingaFarmGirl I do believe you. They look beautiful on your deck. We have two raised beds. These planters look they could hold as much as one of our beds. I understand you enjoy them and you have your deck back. You would make a representative for this company. Your vlogs are Professional and appreciated. Thanks, Cassandra!
I accept your friendship! 😊 I'm starting my hydroponic gardening journey literally today! Except I have no outdoor space, so I'm using grow lights in my closet. Maybe eventually I will upgrade to those silver gardening tent things. I can't wait to start afford fresh foods!
I’m watching bc its good content. I’m homesteading on open land (soon) i just hand to click here see what was popping and Ma’am, im grateful for your content
I for one thank you for all the information about the Greenstalk. It was necessary to understand fully how to use it, so I didn't look at it as a commercial, I looked at it as making me totally informed before I consider buying one. Thank you.
I have had a farmstad vertical hydroponics system for a few years on my deck and I love it. However I’ve been wanting to try a soil system so thanks for your video. I will order a 5 tier today. Your instructions on setting one up are clear and helpful. Thanks again and I love your channel. You are one of my favorite u-tube “celebrities “!
Your garden is beautiful. Thank you for such a thorough comprehensive document on patio gardening. You touched on every aspect of interest for a beginner.
My dear you had me sold the moment you put everything together. I have a deck and plenty of yard space but I’m not a farmer. So I just want to use my deck space for planting and be leave the yard for growing melons, cucumbers and potatoes. So I can keep my green and yellow vegetables and herb plants within easy reach. So thank you for posting this video.😊😊
Hey lady! Always good to see you! A few years ago, when I initially got my first planter, I told myself I wasn't go to "go crazy" with these planters, but boy do they make growing efficient and space saving. It makes me feel like I already have a small farm out back! I'm so glad you've been here to see my gardening growth over the years. Slowly but surely, I'm getting there! Hope you're having a wonderful growing season too!
@BecomingaFarmGirl I actually remember you getting your first, and I was totally skeptical even though Jess had success with them. But you having no other options, you have made those stalks absolutely rock! So proud of you, sister!
@BecomingaFarmGirl I only have a 160x55 garden this year, but it's working! And I'm just about ready for fall gardening, because the older I get, the less I can tolerate the heat to garden in Tennessee summers.
Hey girl, hey, you my new friend in my head. Thank you so much for all of this useful information because I am exactly where you were with your 5 gallon buckets and numerous of clay pots. You have given me such an eye-opener to how I am going to revamp my garden.❤❤❤❤❤
Every time I watch your gardening videos, I want to order my Greenstalk right away, but I don't have my own home yet, so I can't. I'm waiting patiently to start my vertical garden. Congratulations on your feature in the magazine! I'm learning a lot about gardening from you.
Hello friend! Honey there is no rush and I encourage you to watch as many other GreenStalk growers on YT so that when the time is right, you'll be on your way to have a successful garden when you start. GreenStalk really surprised me with the magazine feature because I truly am NOT a pro AT ALL :) But, I was happy to see that so many other backyard gardeners were featured too.
Tell you what, your vertical gardens & plants are amazing & so you! Got to share this with my mom who had stopped planting in-ground veggie gardens due to losing all her crops (and tons of money!) to critters, poor soil and/or lack of rain. I got her to use buckets instead, which is successful & very convenient, but his idea of vertical gardening is genius. Thanks so much for sharing this brilliant idea! God bless you.
We’re working on moving to a place with some uncovered deck space, which means I can have more space that actually gets light to grow more stuff and I can’t wait to get a green stalk. My plan is to have a few green stalks and a few dwarf fruit trees in pots on rollers.
I am so happy I found your video! I can honestly say I’ve never seen the green stalk gardening system. I live in downtown LA with a beautiful patio and can’t wait to try my hand at being an urban farm girl. 🥰
I LOVE your Greenstalk vids, thank you so much! Btw- that little black cap that comes with the drainage tube, you can use that inside the tiers to block the hole from soil falling thru, works better then using the bag!
I've wanted a Greenstalk for a few years but wasn't sure I could justify the cost to myself, but I watched this video back in the fall and I ordered one. It was too late up here to bother using it so I can't wait to get it set up and planted for this year! I've been watching your videos ever since and, wow, you have certainly ventured into homesteading activities that most people wouldn't/couldn't. It's great you are letting us experience it with you.
Love watching your videos, We just settled into a new place, and I'm excited to get my garden started again. I bought a few things off Temu I'm going to try but then I found this video, I'm definitely getting one of these.. thx
Hi Cassandra! I got my greenstalks this year after watching you early spring. I love them. I’m not able to get on the ground to plant so these planters are great. I’ve got peppers, strawberries, herbs, flowers, lettuces, and many other varieties. Thanks again! God bless!
OMgoodness!!!!!! I just discovered you as I am starting on my journey to have a balcony garden!!!!!! So happy to join your community, love your vibes and energy. Thank you for sharing such great content! 💖
I was just about to buy cloth pots and start my gardening journey 😅. Then, you read my gardening mind and convinced me to get this vertical system. Wow!
I am so glad I made the switch to vertical planting. I'd never be able to grow as much as I do and maintain it as easily I can if I weren't gardening vertically.
Idk where you've been ❤I miss seeing your videos I have learned sooo much from your channel I've started so many new things after your instruction! I now have 3 garden beds lots of pots and my first greenstalk! I have chickens and been canning for more than a year now!!! I am soo excited for this grow season hope all is well and you're happily busy filling your planters❤❤❤Thanks Cassandra!!!

firm believer in everyones ability to grow at LEAST one thing they can replace from getting at the grocery store! leafy greens grow quickly! so many veggies you get at the grocery can get reused to start your garden too!
I just got my first Greenstalk this Christmas, I’m so excited!
Girl I so happy for you! You are going to be so pleased with your garden this year!! Happy holidays to you!!🥰😜
Wow that was a lot of good information ❤❤❤❤❤❤
great , very nice
Now I know why I really liked you from the beginning. Your frenchie is so cute. I have 2 and beginning to love gardening in small spaces.
New subscriber here. I am from UK. Recently gave up my half plot at a local allotment site. Was becoming a chore to maintain but I still wanted to grow. So I have decided to grow at home in my small yarden, as I call it (a concreted yard area and a very small garden). I have bought 2 Green Stalk planters (only just been made available to a UK supplier). I have 2 mixed or combo ones. Have yet to set them up, but you have given me a lot of ideas. We are quite limited on what we can get over here, and no flash sales. Hence they are rather expensive in the UK, but I love the idea of them.
Ma’am!!! Not you creating my new favorite channel!!!! I love this! Thank you for sharing
I love you camera work : the colors are so vibrant 😊
Two Greenstalks arrived today! So excited to start my fall garden on my concrete patio! Thanks for letting me know about these miracles from Tennessee. Love your channel Cassandra. You have taught me so much.
Cassandra you truly are a blessing to all of us future and present Gardners I subscribed to your channel
Growing vegetables in our garden is so out of my comfort zone but has been extremely intriguing for years. We'll do it one day! I'm so glad that your channel was recommended to me today. Your produce looks lovely & how satisfying to grow your own food. Will definitely find time to binge watch your playlists. It's always great to find a fellow black woman outside of the commentary, hair, makeup and finance channels which I regularly & thoroughly enjoy)
You have a new subscriber from the UK...
you got this!
These are great for people who don't have scorching summers, with unrelenting sun & heat with very little shade.
Congratulations for being featured in greenstalk magazine. You have a beautiful patio garden.
This is very inspirational for us small space gardeners 👩🏿🌾 TFS and Happy Gardening Comrade!
Oh, you're so knowledgeable about gardening. You delivered in such fun manner. Love that presentation. And by the way, your precious pooch is adorable. Keep up the excellent work. Cheers!! A new fan.
Thanks for this video, you have really inspired me to grow a vertical garden as well. And I appreciate the representation of seeing a black woman gardener.
Wow girl, wow!!! I've been watching your channel a few months, and I guess I've never seen a vid with you out on your patio. All those garden hauls/cooking vids I've seen, I just assume you were on at least a quarter-acre+. Label me TRIPLE IMPRESSED!!! Gotta say - never has a sponsored segment made me smile and NEED a product at this level. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. Thanks for all of your efforts, and sharing so much fantastic information and inspo with us!!! ❤❤
Haha! No way?! Yup, I’m in a townhouse and we don’t have any grass out back. Until my husband retires from the Navy we’re gonna be planted here, and that’s just fine because it gives us time to slowly learn homesteading skills and make do with what we’ve got! I’ve gone Greenstalk crazy because it makes the most sense for my space and makes me feel like I’ve got my own little farm out back. I truly appreciate the compliment! I hope to have an acre or two one day!
Even the TH-camrs with homesteads use greenstalks! Love your easy breezy delivery - you're like everyone's bff!
I love your energy! I have 4 GSs and wouldn't do without them. I have better results growing in them than in ground for all the reasons you mentioned plus we have compacted clay soil. 18:54 There is nothing GS puts out that isn't top notch. Thank you for your vids they give me extra inspiration. I enjoyed your article in the magazine too!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl - Aww, I really wish you and your sweet hubs the very best, and that you get your dream homestead really soon - if anyone can make the most of it, you sure will!!
Oh my gosh I love to see it! Congratulations on being featured in the green stalk magazine and working with such a cool company!
I clicked cause I was just in the mood to watch a video of yours, but now you've convinced me to have a vertical garden! I originally assumed it would be much more difficult.
I have learned SO SO SO much from you and I want to say thank you very much!
Love this video-so thorough, and the pace was perfect, not to fast or slow, explaining well with then visuals! 👏 I’m sold I’m getting a green stalk
I really admire and appreciate your passion for gardening. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Awww, thank you kindly my friend!
Her skin is FLAWLESS! 🔥
I have to say Cassandra you are flawless. That was the best infomercial I have ever seen. Your honest face, easy going friendly manner, your knowledge. You should own stock in this product. It looks like a fantastic product. Most infomercials have untrustworthy looking people. Not you, I would trust you with my life. 😄 You are Professional.
Hi Alice! Honey you know how to slather on the compliments! I'm truly just a very satisfied customer that can't help but show other small space homestead dreamers that there are ways to maximize your growing space. These little planters bring me so much joy! Seeing my plants grow, being able to harvest several bowls of salad a week, increasing my confidence with learning to make my own fertilizers, it's truly just been a blessing.
@@BecomingaFarmGirl I do believe you. They look beautiful on your deck. We have two raised beds. These planters look they could hold as much as one of our beds. I understand you enjoy them and you have your deck back. You would make a representative for this company. Your vlogs are Professional and appreciated. Thanks, Cassandra!
I accept your friendship! 😊 I'm starting my hydroponic gardening journey literally today! Except I have no outdoor space, so I'm using grow lights in my closet. Maybe eventually I will upgrade to those silver gardening tent things. I can't wait to start afford fresh foods!
I’m watching bc its good content. I’m homesteading on open land (soon) i just hand to click here see what was popping and Ma’am, im grateful for your content
I for one thank you for all the information about the Greenstalk. It was necessary to understand fully how to use it, so I didn't look at it as a commercial, I looked at it as making me totally informed before I consider buying one. Thank you.
So glad I came across your channel ❤
I have had a farmstad vertical hydroponics system for a few years on my deck and I love it. However I’ve been wanting to try a soil system so thanks for your video. I will order a 5 tier today. Your instructions on setting one up are clear and helpful. Thanks again and I love your channel. You are one of my favorite u-tube “celebrities “!
We just met, but I have to say I love you. You’re just great. ❤
You definitely inspired me to grow some new plants this summer. Thank you. And can’t wait for next months pantry chat.
Other channels show greenstalks but I've never been interested but now after watching you I WANT ONE!
Your garden is beautiful. Thank you for such a thorough comprehensive document on patio gardening. You touched on every aspect of interest for a beginner.
Omg your are so loved and appreciated, this has been in my spirit ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ we will be great friends, thank u thank u
My dear you had me sold the moment you put everything together.
I have a deck and plenty of yard space but I’m not a farmer.
So I just want to use my deck space for planting and be leave the yard for growing melons, cucumbers and potatoes.
So I can keep my green and yellow vegetables and herb plants within easy reach.
So thank you for posting this video.😊😊
You had me sold in the first few minutes haha
Hellooo, greenstalk poster child! You never cease to amaze me with how much you grow in such a small space. You've come a long way, baby!
Hey lady! Always good to see you! A few years ago, when I initially got my first planter, I told myself I wasn't go to "go crazy" with these planters, but boy do they make growing efficient and space saving. It makes me feel like I already have a small farm out back! I'm so glad you've been here to see my gardening growth over the years. Slowly but surely, I'm getting there! Hope you're having a wonderful growing season too!
@BecomingaFarmGirl I actually remember you getting your first, and I was totally skeptical even though Jess had success with them. But you having no other options, you have made those stalks absolutely rock! So proud of you, sister!
@BecomingaFarmGirl I only have a 160x55 garden this year, but it's working! And I'm just about ready for fall gardening, because the older I get, the less I can tolerate the heat to garden in Tennessee summers.
I believe Dustin has packed both of mine as well! hehe, I love that! Thanks again Dustin!
Hey girl, hey, you my new friend in my head. Thank you so much for all of this useful information because I am exactly where you were with your 5 gallon buckets and numerous of clay pots. You have given me such an eye-opener to how I am going to revamp my garden.❤❤❤❤❤
Every time I watch your gardening videos, I want to order my Greenstalk right away, but I don't have my own home yet, so I can't. I'm waiting patiently to start my vertical garden. Congratulations on your feature in the magazine! I'm learning a lot about gardening from you.
Hello friend! Honey there is no rush and I encourage you to watch as many other GreenStalk growers on YT so that when the time is right, you'll be on your way to have a successful garden when you start. GreenStalk really surprised me with the magazine feature because I truly am NOT a pro AT ALL :) But, I was happy to see that so many other backyard gardeners were featured too.
@@BecomingaFarmGirl Thank you for that recommendation. I will check out some other GreenStalk gardeners as well!
I’m 5 minutes into the video and I’ve already subscribed! Cause what! Never thought about vertical growing on my patio! Clever! Clever!
Yay we're gardening friends now!
Just ordered my GREENSTALK.
Thanks for the code.
I appreciate your channel.
I have a garden and also go vertically.😊
I love portulacas too! They're so stunning, give such great color and production.
Tell you what, your vertical gardens & plants are amazing & so you! Got to share this with my mom who had stopped planting in-ground veggie gardens due to losing all her crops (and tons of money!) to critters, poor soil and/or lack of rain. I got her to use buckets instead, which is successful & very convenient, but his idea of vertical gardening is genius. Thanks so much for sharing this brilliant idea! God bless you.
This is amazing and I love it!!! So happy for you!!!
We’re working on moving to a place with some uncovered deck space, which means I can have more space that actually gets light to grow more stuff and I can’t wait to get a green stalk. My plan is to have a few green stalks and a few dwarf fruit trees in pots on rollers.
I am so happy I found your video! I can honestly say I’ve never seen the green stalk gardening system. I live in downtown LA with a beautiful patio and can’t wait to try my hand at being an urban farm girl. 🥰
Perfect commercial!! I want ten!!
I LOVE your Greenstalk vids, thank you so much!
Btw- that little black cap that comes with the drainage tube, you can use that inside the tiers to block the hole from soil falling thru, works better then using the bag!
I've wanted a Greenstalk for a few years but wasn't sure I could justify the cost to myself, but I watched this video back in the fall and I ordered one. It was too late up here to bother using it so I can't wait to get it set up and planted for this year!
I've been watching your videos ever since and, wow, you have certainly ventured into homesteading activities that most people wouldn't/couldn't. It's great you are letting us experience it with you.
Love watching your videos, We just settled into a new place, and I'm excited to get my garden started again. I bought a few things off Temu I'm going to try but then I found this video, I'm definitely getting one of these.. thx
Hi Cassandra! I got my greenstalks this year after watching you early spring. I love them. I’m not able to get on the ground to plant so these planters are great. I’ve got peppers, strawberries, herbs, flowers, lettuces, and many other varieties. Thanks again! God bless!
Love this video u broke this planter down so well with full directions and explanation for dummy 1st time want to be gardeners.....
So glad this was helpful! You’ll love the ease of being a Green Stalk gardener!
Congratulations! I’m so proud and happy for you. I have come full circle with all of your projects. Keep up the good work. Blessings❤️❤️❤️🎉
OMgoodness!!!!!! I just discovered you as I am starting on my journey to have a balcony garden!!!!!! So happy to join your community, love your vibes and energy. Thank you for sharing such great content! 💖
I was just about to buy cloth pots and start my gardening journey 😅. Then, you read my gardening mind and convinced me to get this vertical system. Wow!
I am so glad I made the switch to vertical planting. I'd never be able to grow as much as I do and maintain it as easily I can if I weren't gardening vertically.
Wow love your vertical garden ❤❤❤
Idk where you've been ❤I miss seeing your videos I have learned sooo much from your channel I've started so many new things after your instruction! I now have 3 garden beds lots of pots and my first greenstalk! I have chickens and been canning for more than a year now!!! I am soo excited for this grow season hope all is well and you're happily busy filling your planters❤❤❤Thanks Cassandra!!!
Thank you for your video,i will start my litle farm soon❤
