Hah! Sad but true. Most people buy three bags of chips when they really need a pallet of them. Then they're mad because the weeds spring right back through the little skimpy half-inch layer they spread out. It actually takes 4-6 inches of mulch to really do you much good for weed control. And that's going to shrink down to maybe an inch or two thick in a couple years. Pro Tip: lay down three or four layers of cardboard first before the mulch.
@@johnnygunz2300 cardboard is the secret weapon. It'll keep those weeds down better than thin mulch, at least for a year or so. By then the weeds have very often died off and can't come back. There will still be weed seeds in the ground though, so keep it heavily mulched. In a year or maybe two the cardboard breaks down and just becomes more soil.
We still missed the "scientist" garden who is constantly doing PH tests on his soil and has a solar weather station and salinity tester and automated moisture sensor springer irrigation and the whole thing is run by a 20 year old laptop in his green house. And for what he can't test himself he sends off soil samples to a lab, just to make sure no lead or mercury has gotten in there in the last 6 months since he last tested it.
Yup! I just wanted to get a few tips for my compost heap when I put too much grass clippings on it, and I got video after video of people with thermometers and 3-bin (or more) systems telling me my compost had to be at least so many degrees and I had to turn it every day and fork it into the next bin, etc, etc. Compost is not that much work, guys! lol!
@@jennypulczinski7204 if you still need an answer for this, too much green matter add in brown matter. Dried leaves or any other dry plant (hay and peastraw work as well). You want about a 50/50 mix of green to brown. Compost is so easy and yet youtubers make it out to be the hardest thing ever with all this daily work. You really want a piss easy compost, turn it once a month and let nature do its thing.
The first Gardner that I thought of, was the guy that wasn’t in this video. I’m speaking of course, of the retired guy with nothing better to do. Cuts his lawn every other day. Always adding another flower bed. Always adding another landscaping project. “Hey Mike, how come you’re taking out that tree? Didn’t you plant it last year?” “Yeah, but it doesn’t go with the new native wildflowers I’m putting in” “😏 okay mike, just hit your little necklace panic button if ya get heat stroke again.”
@@sasachiminesh1204 Everyone is different I guess. I can’t understand why anyone at my work that could retire, doesn’t. If I was retired, my first priority would be grandkids. Unless, I didn’t have any, then it would probably be home projects (there’s always something to fix). But it’s important to do whatever makes you happy, since you’ve earned that retirement, right. My neighbor is “that guy”. It kinda sucks knowing that I’ll never have a yard that looks as nice as his. But I can still climb a ladder and my Christmas light display is better. So, Suck it Mike.
That will soon be my husband. He's planning to retire at the end of the year and he's already packing raised beds in our tiny yard left and right, and fussing over his tomatoes and peppers and trying to grow cantaloupe, etc.
He's stuck in the middle overlap of the Venn Diagram between the Hippy and the Survivalist. He'll get here eventually, he's just busy figuring out what the hell to use squash blossoms for.
Oh my gosh. Our sandbox growing up was literally an old tire from my grandpa's tractor, and now that we're all adults, my dad uses it to grow chives. That hit so close to home 😂
My first house had a strip of dirt the neighbors told us we'd never be able to grow anything there because the prior owners put car parts there, leaky transmissions and stuff. We turned it around to a fertile plot with more tomatoes than we could eat.
You forgot the lesser known gardener often called the "college student that desperately wants to own literally any plant but cant keep them alive despite their incessant efforts"
While dandelions are often considered a weed, every part of them is edible, leaves can be made into salad greens, or steeped in tea, roots can be roasted and turned into a drink similar to decaf coffee and while I cant exactly remember what all dandelion flowers are used for, I know that people have used them for a lot of good food!
I haven't had it, but many people swear by dandelion honey, too, which uses the flowers and all that pollen. They say it can taste just like bee honey. :)
@@divergentdreamer I made it this year, and yes it does taste just like honey. You put a lemon on top. But you use alot of sugar in it. It was called "poormans honey" in the depression.
That’s actually really awesome. Quick question: how did you get into gardening as a profession? I’ve been considering it myself and would love to hear how it worked out for you!
@@HelloThere... I am sure there are many paths to be able to work with plants or garden. In general unless you are an owner of a landscaping company or also enjoy cutting grass and tree trimming type work, it can be a humble profession. Farmers know a lot about growing things but industrial farming and gardening can be different. Society doesn't really value "green people." But, I do it because it makes me happy. I started when I was younger by volunteering with WWOOF (Willing Workers On Organic Farms)I learned a ton from small farmers. It's an international organization for volunteering on small farms. You can choose where you want to go and what farm type you want to work on. The best thing to do is learn by doing, reading is good, there is formal education in landscape, horticulture, or botany. I like the design, care and education aspects. While I can use a chainsaw and lawnmower, I do not prefer landscaping. I have been a garden manager/coordinator, teacher for nonprofits but there is also city/community work, private companies, or just side gigs. Depends on your interests and levels of commitment/ investment. I now work in a small greenhouse company cultivating plants and with customers. Good luck!

I identify with the first one! Just moved in 2 springs ago and still trying to get used to what's coming up where and trying to get the concrete chips out of the back by where they put in a new patio before they sold it to us... but at least we have dandelions! 🤣🤣🤣
@@juzoli Not sure why you think my comment is hating on dandelions... my point is, they're easy and grow without any effort. 🤷♀️ I don't mind them, although my neighbors might.
Aw motherwort is native where I live but thanks to intensive farming practices has gotten exceedingly rare - like many wildflowers. Would actually love to have some in the garden. Also I'm definitely the hippy.
Hot dog! Hey dere Charlie, sure missed you, this was soo accurate and funny, you know it's Spring when all the different types of gardeners come out of hibernation and start crowding the home and garden centers, thanks for sharing, tell your folks I sez"Hi" 👋🤗🌱
You all back up dere in WI don't know how good you've got it. Sure, the growing season is only five weeks long, but almost anywhere you stick a shovel in the ground it's beautiful, dark, rich loam. Down here in the South it's just thick red clay. Everywhere.
@@somegirlsays6047 I gave up on tilling this stuff. It just gets clumpier, and you have to do it every damn spring and fall. We just lay down cardboard to block the weeds/grass and then pile that same kind of organic material right on top of it, and plant into that. Over a couple-three seasons, you end up with essentially a low raised bed of really nice soil. There's a lot I really love about the South, but I do miss the wonderful soil back in Central WI where I grew up.
That is nothing. Try moving out somewhere in the west, where we we have rocks more than soil sometimes, yes we have red and regular clay here, and drought on top of it every year. Add to that all the buttheads and numbskulls that move here from Cali or the Eastern U.S. that still think that grass is the way to go. Here farmers are having to let their fields go fallow while the golf courses and car washes still are allowed to be open even if they are still paying taxes.
@@weirdsweetcoolplants I hear that. I have no desire to move ever again, but if I did it damn sure wouldn't be to chronically drought-stricken areas like that. One thing I def don't have to worry about is water. My county gets just enough rainfall every year to qualify as a temperate rainforest.
Oh god I just bought a bunch of hostas. Tell me what the other hosta people are like so I can decide if I want to admit or deny this. I will say, the people who raise hostas commercially must be an interesting bunch, since the varieties literally have names like "Silly String" and "Wheee!"
Definatley needs a follow up video of other types of gardeners. Permaculture, aquaponics, vertical growing, foragers, mushroom growers, the lazy gardener (lets weeds grow), indoor grower, the list probably goes on. Great stuff man i was laughing so much, please more! What i liked most was that your jokes not only highlighted the quirks of each type but also highlighted (subtley) the good parts as well the hippy treats everything with kindness, the survivalist is effecient (and cares about his kids! Lol), and the first timer has apl the good intentions in the world. Except for the rich gardener, that just uh, not gardening imo.... lol
@@seekwisdom5102 its not too bad, depends on the scale you do it in. If you are doing it completely indoors than you gotta manage everything, but ive seen outdoor aquaponics that are alot less maintenance but much bigger. Its really up to how much the gardener wants to put in for time and such. Imo, aquaponics is only really viable on large scale because your letting nature do alot of the work. Its a fun hobby, but unless you live in a desert with drought conditions most of the time its unneccessary without natural reserves.
That's a thing for sure; right next to the house the ground is usually just loaded with construction debris and other crap you don't want. It's generally the worst possible place to try to grow something. Subdivisions are awful in general. Very often the developer strips off all the topsoil and sells it, then they just fill in with rocks and other garbage and lay sod on top of it.
How true. My first house had a yard exactly like that one in the video. In 12 years not one previous homeowner had turned a shovel of dirt. Probably because the tools broke, constantly hitting chunks of construction debris, rocks & monster weed roots. Took 10 years of hard work to make it liveable & nice looking. Then I moved, sigh... 😞
@@dogslobbergardens6606 Had a friend who moved into a brand new subdivision & fell through & into a large construction debris filled hole in his back yard. He was OK, minor cuts & scratches, but mad as H*ll. Builder could not be reached for remediation help, surprise.
@@droolbunnyxo9565 I don't doubt it! When I first got married, my wife already owned a house in a subdivision. We hired a guy to come till up the backyard so we could start a garden, and it was just a nightmare under the sod. The poor guy we hired was actually kind of pissed about dragging his tiller through all that concrete and rocks and crap.
Yeah, we installed gardens into our house that we bought a year and a half ago and under the sod isn’t too bad (other than a lot of roots), but also ordered bulk compost from a landscape company to put on top & it has so much literal trash debris bits in it. All the trash pieces are pretty small, but it’s like candy wrappers, chunks of plastic, broken glass, etc. Not too happy that that’s what we got from a landscape company.
i see myself as a combination of all 4. i started gardening about 20 years ago after years of watching my dad do it but i sometimes feel like a first timer as i am constantly seeking and learning new things about gardening. i love kicking off my flip flops and getting barefooted in the soil. i feel so connected with God's beautiful earth that way. i grow to help feed my family and somewhat survive during the warmer months on what i grow. i feel so rich having good health and living in a country where we are mostly free and can grow our own food.
TYVM for sharing this hilarious video! 😁 I just spent the last seven months landscaping/ gardening a clean slate. Now we have snow. So I had to stop! Ah WI. Keep Smiling And Enjoy Your Journey! 🤭✌️❤️🦋🙏
You forgot the potted plant killer. Always has lovely new potted plants and the old ones magically disappear as stuff that doesn't even grow in this zone only lives a couple of weeks in full sun in the front yard.
I’ve been gardening about 3 years now, I’m a nice mixture of the beginner and the hippie I garden barefoot, whilst finding shingles in the dirt and naming all my worms Jim’s and Joes
We bought our house 28 years ago in the dead of winter. When the snow melted we realized the previous owner never put in a yard and we had a huge yard Full Of Weeds.
i see myself as a "lazy gardener" put soil in pot, put plant in soil in pot, DONE. Do daily watering. if it grows it grows if it dies compost. Enrich soil every 6 months with about a pound of cow menuer, soak into the soil. DONE. Plants grow in buckets unless too big for biggest size bucket. If it's a tree it goes in a hole that was dug and back filled with mulch. DONE. Water daily. Prune? what is Prune? is that a fruit i don't have?
I can top your laziness. 15-20 years ago I bought a conifer and broadleaf tree, each 3ft tall, from the local nursery thinking "ehh, lets see if these plants die too". I mostly ignore them for years and don't notice that they grew to like 10 ft each after a few years and their roots have bursted out of their cheap plastic pots and dug into the ground. They are now at least 15ft tall each and had to be trimmed because they were pushing against the fence that _was_ being propped up by hedges that got removed when our neighbors left. Pretty much every plant I intentionally tried to raise has died. Yet these two trees flourished despite major neglect almost as if to spite me.
I rarely actually, genuinely laugh at these usually just enjoying the humor but 'that should be enough' for the mulch was hilarious -- not only spot on but it repeats every single time for years.
whats funny is the survivalist dude could probably indeed feed himself, his family, the neighbors family, and half the state of wisconsin, yet his garden looks like a hazmat area for no reason.
Best one in a long time!! Love it😂 l live in the Midwest of Canada (and ya no, you’re right. Thats not a thing. I made it up just now) but l love how your content also usually applies to Alberta/Saskatchewan😂 l think most people could move from Wisconsin to Alberta and never know the difference accept that you change the Fleet farm for Peavy Mart lol
Especially those of us from Northern Wisconsin, I've actually been asked if I'm Canadian before because that's what I sound like with my accent apparently 😅
I just screamed "you can come in after you've cut half a rick." At my son while I take my survival gardening too seriously. I have been personally attacked by this. I loved it, hilarious.
LOL I think the first guy must be digging behind my house. Some people have rocky soil. We have brick-y soil. Every time I put a shovel in the ground, I pull up a brick. Or some rebar. Or (my personal favorite) the radiator fan from a 1930s car.
Hahaaa I know a Wisconsin hippy gardener; almost word for word like you showed here except you are allowed to wear shoes. And his garden is always a beautiful place, and he always knows exactly what every plant needs 🌷
I just found your hilarious videos (immediately subscribed!). Gardener type #1 is me. I am a renter and the area I garden in is exactly as you described. I call it "Ghetto Gardening". I find glass, kitchen utensils, siding chunks, and many unidentifiable artifacts. Love your videos! ❤❤
Here’s a type: the “plunker”. Falls madly in love with some plant they picked up at the big box store, or that they saw online and moved heaven and earth to get it, but doesn’t really have room for it and just finds a spot wherever. I’m a bad one -but I know I have company. My garden is highly experimental, tends to look like the local botanic garden came over and threw up. Our motto is “it’ll be okay here...I’ll move it when it gets bigger.” And that day never arrives.
I am a haphazard gardener with a love for native plants. I wander around with new plants looking for a place to stick them in the ground, and grumble at the invasive weeds I’m always pulling.
How about the competition gardener? You know, the guy who'll grow hydrangeas the size of a pumpkin and explain in exact detail the 307 reasons why your flowers died.

That “that should be enough, right?” mulch joke is underrated. It always ends up looking like a light garnish or a wood chip snowdrift.
Hah! Sad but true. Most people buy three bags of chips when they really need a pallet of them.
Then they're mad because the weeds spring right back through the little skimpy half-inch layer they spread out.
It actually takes 4-6 inches of mulch to really do you much good for weed control. And that's going to shrink down to maybe an inch or two thick in a couple years.
Pro Tip: lay down three or four layers of cardboard first before the mulch.
@@dogslobbergardens6606 good idea on the cardboard.... I got Amazon boxes coming out my ears!

Cut the bag along the seam and lay it out. You can cover that much area with one bag. Can even leave the bag in the ground as some weed protection
The ungodly amount of much required to fill a small area...mulching is my hell
Don’t forget the perfectionist senior citizen. My grandma had to have the perfect English garden with hedge rows and roses.

That is nothing. Try moving out somewhere in the west, where we we have rocks more than soil sometimes, yes we have red and regular clay here, and drought on top of it every year. Add to that all the buttheads and numbskulls that move here from Cali or the Eastern U.S. that still think that grass is the way to go. Here farmers are having to let their fields go fallow while the golf courses and car washes still are allowed to be open even if they are still paying taxes.
@@weirdsweetcoolplants I hear that. I have no desire to move ever again, but if I did it damn sure wouldn't be to chronically drought-stricken areas like that. One thing I def don't have to worry about is water. My county gets just enough rainfall every year to qualify as a temperate rainforest.
Planting bird seeds grow some birds 🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣 love your content 💓
I love that the carny and his child Chevy got some character arc continuity
I named a worm Ashley when I was little. Phyllis is on another level.
You need to add the Hosta People.
Oh god I just bought a bunch of hostas. Tell me what the other hosta people are like so I can decide if I want to admit or deny this.
I will say, the people who raise hostas commercially must be an interesting bunch, since the varieties literally have names like "Silly String" and "Wheee!"
@@dianabriggs1032 they get better/worse than that. Lol
@@dianabriggs1032 it's a dangerous group to join. I met someone who literally bought the property next to his house so he could plant more hostas.
Definatley needs a follow up video of other types of gardeners. Permaculture, aquaponics, vertical growing, foragers, mushroom growers, the lazy gardener (lets weeds grow), indoor grower, the list probably goes on. Great stuff man i was laughing so much, please more!
What i liked most was that your jokes not only highlighted the quirks of each type but also highlighted (subtley) the good parts as well the hippy treats everything with kindness, the survivalist is effecient (and cares about his kids! Lol), and the first timer has apl the good intentions in the world. Except for the rich gardener, that just uh, not gardening imo.... lol
Aquaponics are the most complicated.
@@seekwisdom5102 its not too bad, depends on the scale you do it in. If you are doing it completely indoors than you gotta manage everything, but ive seen outdoor aquaponics that are alot less maintenance but much bigger. Its really up to how much the gardener wants to put in for time and such. Imo, aquaponics is only really viable on large scale because your letting nature do alot of the work. Its a fun hobby, but unless you live in a desert with drought conditions most of the time its unneccessary without natural reserves.
You nailed them, Charlie. I'm acquainted with an organic friend of Chadwick's. He also has no friends😉
I have a friend like Chadwick, I also agree, he has no friends
"Chadwick, take two." 😂 I could relate to the first-timer. You never know what you'll find in that soil.
That's a thing for sure; right next to the house the ground is usually just loaded with construction debris and other crap you don't want. It's generally the worst possible place to try to grow something.
Subdivisions are awful in general. Very often the developer strips off all the topsoil and sells it, then they just fill in with rocks and other garbage and lay sod on top of it.
How true. My first house had a yard exactly like that one in the video. In 12 years not one previous homeowner had turned a shovel of dirt. Probably because the tools broke, constantly hitting chunks of construction debris, rocks & monster weed roots. Took 10 years of hard work to make it liveable & nice looking. Then I moved, sigh... 😞
@@dogslobbergardens6606 Had a friend who moved into a brand new subdivision & fell through & into a large construction debris filled hole in his back yard. He was OK, minor cuts & scratches, but mad as H*ll. Builder could not be reached for remediation help, surprise.
@@droolbunnyxo9565 I don't doubt it! When I first got married, my wife already owned a house in a subdivision. We hired a guy to come till up the backyard so we could start a garden, and it was just a nightmare under the sod. The poor guy we hired was actually kind of pissed about dragging his tiller through all that concrete and rocks and crap.
Yeah, we installed gardens into our house that we bought a year and a half ago and under the sod isn’t too bad (other than a lot of roots), but also ordered bulk compost from a landscape company to put on top & it has so much literal trash debris bits in it. All the trash pieces are pretty small, but it’s like candy wrappers, chunks of plastic, broken glass, etc. Not too happy that that’s what we got from a landscape company.
Congratulations on 1 mil you deserve it
„I have worms, would you like to see.“ was not a question.
i see myself as a combination of all 4.
i started gardening about 20 years ago after years of watching my dad do it but i sometimes feel like a first timer as i am constantly seeking and learning new things about gardening.
i love kicking off my flip flops and getting barefooted in the soil. i feel so connected with God's beautiful earth that way.
i grow to help feed my family and somewhat survive during the warmer months on what i grow.
i feel so rich having good health and living in a country where we are mostly free and can grow our own food.
I’d be worries if you have any traits from the last one. Don’t be that guy.
It was nice to read this comment.
Have you heard of "earthing"? Its exactly as you said connecting your bare feet to the earth. I like doing it.
The First Timer pulling chunks of concrete and garbage out of his yard hits so close to home it feels like a personal attack.
TYVM for sharing this hilarious video! 😁
I just spent the last seven months landscaping/ gardening a clean slate. Now we have snow. So I had to stop! Ah WI. Keep Smiling And Enjoy Your Journey! 🤭✌️❤️🦋🙏
You forgot the potted plant killer. Always has lovely new potted plants and the old ones magically disappear as stuff that doesn't even grow in this zone only lives a couple of weeks in full sun in the front yard.
I know it’s dumb and stuff but I actually like dandelions. They look nice and are the easiest thing to grow, but they are great
One word: Wine.
Amazing how Charlie harbors so many diverse personalities--which one is closest to the real thing? Huh....
The rich guy will blame the store when he finds out roundup kills his grass too
I’ve been gardening about 3 years now, I’m a nice mixture of the beginner and the hippie
I garden barefoot, whilst finding shingles in the dirt and naming all my worms Jim’s and Joes
You need a disclaimer at the beginning of these videos "Stop drinking whatever it is you're drinking at this moment" ✋
I love all your videos! Please keep making them! 😍⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩
The hippy vs the survivalist is so true!! I’ve been searching of grid and homesteading and found some interesting characters.
We bought our house 28 years ago in the dead of winter. When the snow melted we realized the previous owner never put in a yard and we had a huge yard Full Of Weeds.
Charlie, you are the BOMB. I laugh at every video. Keep up the good work
Haha. I work at a nursery and run into these very people all the time.
I love the bit about the "outdoor VR Bocce Ball experience"! Some rich people are pretentious like that.
I’m a landscaper and I have many clients like #4🤣 just take there bs and they tip good at Christmas 😂
i see myself as a "lazy gardener" put soil in pot, put plant in soil in pot, DONE. Do daily watering. if it grows it grows if it dies compost. Enrich soil every 6 months with about a pound of cow menuer, soak into the soil. DONE. Plants grow in buckets unless too big for biggest size bucket. If it's a tree it goes in a hole that was dug and back filled with mulch. DONE. Water daily. Prune? what is Prune? is that a fruit i don't have?
I can top your laziness. 15-20 years ago I bought a conifer and broadleaf tree, each 3ft tall, from the local nursery thinking "ehh, lets see if these plants die too". I mostly ignore them for years and don't notice that they grew to like 10 ft each after a few years and their roots have bursted out of their cheap plastic pots and dug into the ground. They are now at least 15ft tall each and had to be trimmed because they were pushing against the fence that _was_ being propped up by hedges that got removed when our neighbors left. Pretty much every plant I intentionally tried to raise has died. Yet these two trees flourished despite major neglect almost as if to spite me.
@@darwinxavier3516 hmm maybe it's the aspect of remaining in pots!!! And draught resistance xD? Idk lol
This is the top most level of dedicated gardening.
“I must go I have to call Elon, he’s spending how much on twitter?” Got me dead 💀
My dad was not a gardener, but he and the survivalist would get along. He too set a Dead tree on fire in the burn pit.
I am a cross between the hippy and the survivalist......I am so happy.
I rarely actually, genuinely laugh at these usually just enjoying the humor but 'that should be enough' for the mulch was hilarious -- not only spot on but it repeats every single time for years.
whats funny is the survivalist dude could probably indeed feed himself, his family, the neighbors family, and half the state of wisconsin, yet his garden looks like a hazmat area for no reason.
Let’s go Charlie we missed you!
The volley ball net is a great idea for the beans...
Hahaha totally nailed homeowner number one gardener...
MORE OF THESE PLEASE!
🤩🤩🤩
(to be clear: more “4 types of”s AND gardeners
…and tell your folks I says hi!)
Mega addicted to your channel. Fantastic.
"I NEED" to see some more Survivalist videos.
The rich guy is so spot on, especially for florida
Nailed it.
Best one in a long time!! Love it😂 l live in the Midwest of Canada (and ya no, you’re right. Thats not a thing. I made it up just now) but l love how your content also usually applies to Alberta/Saskatchewan😂 l think most people could move from Wisconsin to Alberta and never know the difference accept that you change the Fleet farm for Peavy Mart lol
Exactly. I’m from Saskatchewan and these couldn’t be more relatable in any way
Yes lol l thought of another you might have to switch and that’s sports teams
100% agree. 😆 Also from Alberta.
Especially those of us from Northern Wisconsin, I've actually been asked if I'm Canadian before because that's what I sound like with my accent apparently 😅
That’s funny lol l think our accents are quite different? But l guess l get it if you are from neither place how someone could see that.
You missed us the have several acres to keep up with so you buy seeds and plan to plant them when you’re done with other yard work.
I just screamed "you can come in after you've cut half a rick." At my son while I take my survival gardening too seriously. I have been personally attacked by this.
I loved it, hilarious.
LOL I think the first guy must be digging behind my house. Some people have rocky soil. We have brick-y soil. Every time I put a shovel in the ground, I pull up a brick. Or some rebar. Or (my personal favorite) the radiator fan from a 1930s car.
Love your videos, so funny .
Charlie is an environmental activist with his finger on the pulse of Mother Earth
Great one! Sharing with my fellow gardeners.
Hahaaa I know a Wisconsin hippy gardener; almost word for word like you showed here except you are allowed to wear shoes. And his garden is always a beautiful place, and he always knows exactly what every plant needs 🌷
I just found your hilarious videos (immediately subscribed!). Gardener type #1 is me. I am a renter and the area I garden in is exactly as you described. I call it "Ghetto Gardening". I find glass, kitchen utensils, siding chunks, and many unidentifiable artifacts. Love your videos! ❤❤
“Mmm roundup. So yummy.”🤣🤣
OH MY
GOD
just heard Charlie on the radio!
You’re coming to Sylvania in Ohio (NEAR ME) in august!
I’m booking the show, me and my folks are coming!
The "rich guy" is hilarious and sad! Great comedy!
Much better then all those short vids!
Your videos hit my nostalgia endorphins since they remind me of CollegeHumor's "6 type of people back home" series that stopped long long ago
I kinda really need a don't tread on my maters sticker with the derpy snake.
"Organic corn, organic squash...and then in here organic marijuan-hemp." XD
Charlie I have to tell someone… I’m going to be a grandmother!
I want to share it and shout it to the world, “I’m going to be a grandmother!!!”
Oh congratulations! That's amazing!
@@sofiamelchert7578 thank you 😊
Congratulations! Its a whole different kind of love....❤️
@@barbarawallace6890 thank you Barbara, I’m counting the days and thanking God for the blessed opportunity
Awwwww, congratulations Grandma Umana.
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣, that's absolutely the funniest one I've watched. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Here’s a type: the “plunker”. Falls madly in love with some plant they picked up at the big box store, or that they saw online and moved heaven and earth to get it, but doesn’t really have room for it and just finds a spot wherever. I’m a bad one -but I know I have company. My garden is highly experimental, tends to look like the local botanic garden came over and threw up. Our motto is “it’ll be okay here...I’ll move it when it gets bigger.” And that day never arrives.
Do u think these cement chunks r gunna be a problem😂😂😂
Dude the rich guy is next level! bring him into more skits!!! Him and the alcoholic substitute should get together in a skit!
I laughed way to long and heartily at the Rich Guy gardener. I *know* people who are like that!
the survivalist one was my fav 🤣🤣
I am a haphazard gardener with a love for native plants. I wander around with new plants looking for a place to stick them in the ground, and grumble at the invasive weeds I’m always pulling.
At least something is wanting to invade my garden. I don’t pull weeds since I usually pull the actual plant. My husband pulls the weeds 🤣
This is hillarious, so much so I hope to see you do some of these other fun sugestions the comments are filled with...Keep having fun..God Bless Ya!!
I giggled way too hard over the motherwort comment. Creeping Charlie and motherwort are taking over my yard.
This is so funny! My fave is the newbie.
Ok....I "resemble" the Worm Farm 360 gardener!😉 Except I don't name my wormies. Hahaha!
I'm stoked that the carney and his son Chevy are back!
Dude ! That was just amazing.. You're so natural and i personally can relate to the last two guys!! You know what I mean... Lol
I love this guy so much!!!
