Just a suggestion, you can remove the diffusers and soak them overnight in white vinegar... they will be like brand new next day 👍🏼 Merry Christmas everyone 🌲
I was going to say the same thing. I find it satisfying when they are soaking then they work like new. :)
I just hopped onto the comments to say the same thing. White vinegar is great for anywhere that you have hard water build up. Merry Christmas 🎄
@@2slayme 🥰 me too! Same with old secateurs that have rusty blades ... once I start with a project like that, I am looking everywhere for what else I can soak 😅
@@jenniferbannon9854 Merry Christmas 🌲
I was about to make the same comment 😊
Please put that little yellow sprayer for watering seeds in your shop😁
Yes please !
Hi Laura, if you soak the heads of the water diffusers in regular household vinegar for a few minutes it will clear out the clogged hard water spots, then you won't have to purchase more. I have to do that with my shower head. I just put some vinegar in a ziplock type bag and rubber band it around the shower head. You could also set them in a bowl (doesn't need to cover the whole thing, just the end)
I'll have to try that...thank you. :)
Did anyone else run down to their kitchen and grab a wine bottle opener after watching this video? What a great idea. I normally take a drill with the tiny little drill bit to clear out the drain holes in my pots. Now i'm just gonna use my wine bottle opener. Laura, you're absolutely brilliant. This is why I love watching your videos. I always learn something new.🤣💗
Nope! I’d rather use my wine opener for its intended purpose….opening my wine 🤣
@Inkydoo I should have said that I have several different wine bottle openers. I have one that is similar to the one she used. I haven't used it in years. At least it will get a second life in the garden...lol. 🤣💗
My only regret when I watch your videos is that I am 83 and not 38. So much good information. I still say that Samantha Grace is your mom’s mini me. So cute. 😊
Maybe a large plastic bag, like the kind that our clothes come back from the cleaners. It’s clear and thin. You could just drop it over the planter. It would keep the humidity in until seeds germinate.
Good idea, Moni
Now I wish I used the dry cleaners more often!
Nail polish remover removes the ink from sharpies and garden markers! Allows you to reuse those plastic tags over and over! Thanks for the inspiration as always!!
Soak your diffusers in white vinegar to clean out water deposits. I watch everyday and love your content.
Also helps to clean my glass bird baths - and my cement one too! pour in and let it soak for a few minutes, 15 minutes is good. then scrub with a plastic scrub sponge . rinse and refill.
Tip: the clear tube that comes with the spinning base is actually perfect for the center hole while working on the layers so debris doesn’t fall into the gray disc below.
The galvanized planter is still available on Gardner's Supply and it's on sale! Just ordered me two! Thanks Laura!
For your diffusers (and all taps and showerheads that plug up with hard water) you can fill a baggie with vinegar and put the head in it overnight. I use an elastic to hold the bag closed. Works great!
I really want to enjoy the vegetables, fruit, and herbs a little more this year. I get so focused on flowers, but nothing quite like the things you grow that fuel your body.
Laura, to remove the hard water build-up in your watering wand, soak the watering head in cleaning vinegar for a few hours (or overnight), then using a stiff-bristled brush, scrub the water diffuser head, thus removing the dissolved hard water deposits. I too have terribly hard water, and cleaning vinegar helps remove that buildup. I love watching your videos, but I usually don't leave comments. Blessings to you and your sweet family. ~Margie🤗🎄☃
Here's what I've done to clear the hard water gunk from my water diffusers, pour hot vinegar over them and let them soak overnight. Presto!! Clean diffusers. Also works for kitchen and bathroom faucets too. Just unscrew the end piece of your tap and soak them. I hope this helps.
Good to know about the pelleted seeds. I didn’t know about the shelf live being reduced with those. It’s so cool to learn new things here!
I have so badly wanted a small Greenhouse since your inspiration. It would make overwintering plants and starting my seeds so much easier.
And there is that beautiful water mister for the Seedlings. Wish you carried it in your shop.
Oh me too ! What fun it would be especially in winter.
I bought that mister last season and love it to pieces!@@vickieyoung7122
Maybe you all could add that yellow pumping water sprayer bottle to your garden answer store to sell!! 🤞👌👍👏
soak the head of watering wand with vinegar to remove hard water deposits
It's so satisfying when you get things cleaned up and ready to start again. I've already got the itch to get my seeds started. Depending on how you arrange your pots, I sometimes use a Dollar Store shower cap to cover them if I don't have a dome. Since watching your channel, I have wanted to paint my white picket fence black, add a berry bed and plant more bulbs!
That hands-on-hips smiling pose after clearing the plant tower was beyond cute, like Shirley Temple level cuteness.
This is very inspiring for me who just moved from San Diego to Sweden and miss growing food in the winter.
FYI the the white plastic plant tags clean up well with rubbing alcohol and a magic eraser. Happy Holidays!!!🎆🎄☃🎁🎉
I just started some lettuce as well ^_^
I started a leaf lettuce for my pet duck and pigeon and this week I'll be starting some head lettuce for us.
I have that iceberg lettuce seed and grew it last year, it was so much better then what we get in the stores, store bought always tastes like chemicals to me, this tasted like nice crispy lettuce.
Hmm spinach seeds,check, planters,check, plastic wrap,check! Get growing, YES! Thanks Laura!
Hey Laura 👋 😊 I use dry cleaner suit bags for moisture retention. Just buy them at local dry cleaners. I bet they would fit over your green stocks😊❤
I'm surprised they don't include a clear plastic stalk-sleeve
Did the Misto mister ever come to market? Would love to find one. Thanks for your gardening inspiration.
I bet that Rosemary smelled so good! One of my favorite herbs..very nice poster! Up instead of out , space saving yummmy
Purchased the Green Stock system from your shop. Thank you for the refresher of how to set it up. Can't wait to get started. Because of the deer and rabbits I thought I'd try this off my kitchen deck. I actually love the visits from the local wildlife.
I have a couple of towers because of all the rabbits eating everything else. Really helps! They're cute but they'll jump in my containers right in front of me and start eating.
@@Lisa-zp4pc Yes, I call out "Rabbit in the pot." as if it's for supper when the rabbits visit. My parents supplied rabbits to the local butcher until one heat wave during May my dad went deer hunting and left mom my with 4 children under 5yrs. She was spraying down the hutches and then turning the hose on her kids!
GardenAnswers: Morning Sweet Laura, and Family. Time to clean and do some winter planting, so much fun, your strawberry our looking great. Have a great day, Laura, Sending my love and God's blessings to you all. Wanda In N E Ok
Laura, you can put your diffusers in vinegar water and soak overnight and they'll be like new!
the sped up part where you can hear her talk reminds me of the Sims. i liked it. 😄
Laura, soak your hose ends in Lime Away. Works for shower heads as well.
Or white vinegar
Thank you Laura for planting today....getting your hands dirty....I needed that...we are on vacation and I'm away from my garden and I needed a garden answer fix😂❤
For hard water you can soak your water wand heads in white vinegar then rinse. It will dislodge hard water deposits.. We do it with our shower heads. just an FYI.
How fun cleaning up those towers. And the rest of the pots you planted.
I love my Felco snips-I use them more than the regular pruners! They are so lightweight and not bulky. My only suggestion-tell Felco to include a rubber tip cover for the blades when closed. I carry them in my pocket and have poked myself in the leg while bending down. Fun video, now I feel like planting seeds. 😊
I love that green stalk! I added that to my Christmas wish list for my husband. Well, actually, I just sent him the "Garden Answer Store" link and said... any or all of this, please~ 😉 The galvanized tin set is super cute, too! I love the idea of using that for fresh cut flowers. I would probably err on the safe side and use individual liners in each one just in case. Can't wait to see the progress on the seeds!♡
Beautiful work from Gardening with Kirk.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year everybody 🎉❤😊🎉❤😊
Thank you for the information and idea...to create something that needs attention and nurturing, while we work through family loss from December.
Good morning, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b
I have just gotten a few seed packets from Baker's Creek Heirloom Seeds and I'm planning my winter garden.
Happy Gardening, Everyone 👩🌾👍
And Merry Christmas 🎅🎄🤶
❤Peggy❤
I just moved to Florida from KS and I’ve been looking for a fellow zone 9 fan! 🎉❤
@jessicaf316 Well hi Jessica. I hope you are enjoying your first winter without snow ⛄️ ❄️
Are you close to Windermere?
I live near the Space Center. This is the hardest place to grow thing's because of the salt air. Unless, of course the tried and true... I keep trying different things though. I think my problem is over spray from reclaimed water. Hard to keep it off edibles.
It’s so satisfying to clean up plants to start new ones 🎄🎄
Hello Laura and family
Thank you for all the Gardening tips for 2023.
Wish u a happy and prosperous new year. Have a good one 2024
Some day I'll know why watching Laura work is so danged satisfying :)
Could you soak your water wand diffusers in vinegar or CLR to remove the build-up? Great video as always!
So you are blessed to have such a lovely area to plant in the winter,
GREAT VIDEO for all of us with no space! Thank you so much.
Could you soak your hose diffusers in vinegar to remove the hard water deposits?
I use hairpins to hold my runners . They work perfectly. Also I use a wine stopper in my greenstalks when I am working with them and want to plug the holes and that way I have 2 hands to work with.
Good morning, Everyone!!
There are so many greens we plant here in Georgia after our summer crops are done,and we clean it all out and plant our seeds in September. Turnip greens, collard greens are two favorite.They can freeze and still be good.
Same here in MS. I am harvesting my broccoli right now and I swear it tastes better now than any other time of year.
Put the hose head in vinegar and soak it for an hour (15 mins if you do it regularly). Pour inside as well as in a dish so it gets really in there. It will dissolve the lime scale. (also great for shower heads)
You do impressive one-handed work. Good job with the camera in the other.
Hi Laura 😀 have you ever tried CLR for removing hard water mineral deposits? You should try it on your water wand diffusers, in my experience it works better than anything else I’ve tried. We have had water too 😛
I needed to see some planting. Makes me happy to see this video.
Those galvanized containers are adorable. The rosemary is so happy! I want to plant some kale and carrots. Thank you for the inspiration and information.
ahhhh, so satisfying to see things trimmed back for a refresh... i love my vertical planter... my granddaughter loves to pick her strawberries from it... isn't it great to be able to grow things all year long?? love all your growing spaces!! ☺❤thanks for the video!! ☺❤
I’m totally getting one of those planters!!
I told my husband I wanted a GreenStalk and he got me a raised 2x4 planter with wheels on one end last summer. I still haven't managed to get soil in it. His heart was in the right place.
@@cindyhenry1410
@@cindyhenry1410 yes!! they are great!! 🥰
This was perfect! And fortuitous my husband bought me one of these for Christmas from you. Plus other yummy things lol. But I don’t have much space and Ive been coveting one. It was fantastic watching what you plant and how. Such great timing!
Rogue spinach seed! 😂😂😂 loved this video. Definitely “itching” for the ‘green’ here in gloomy NYC (thank God for Christmas!)
I hope someone used those wonderful herbs!!!
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤🎄
Hi Laura, you have inspired me. I've purchased a small walk in Greenhouse but It doesn't have heat or electricity. Do you have any suggestions for starting seedlings with out using a grow light? My mother (age 93) had 4 big brothers who started a garden store over 70 years ago. They are all gone now but every time we watch you it brings memories back to her and she wishes they were here to watch you too.
Diane from Boston
This has me wanting to grow some lettuce and spinach. Thanks for the push!!
Hi Laura, FYI you can soak your hose heads in either CLR or Limeaway. That clears our facets, hose nozzles nice and clear... I do the treatment twice yearly and it works like a charm. Loved seeing the strawberries too! Oh Spring you're right around the corner! Merry Christmas to All!
I wonder if you’ve ever considered using a water filter between your faucet and the hose link connection? An RV water filter would be perfect and would help tremendously with your hard water. I enjoyed watching this project. It’s tempting me to bring one of my stacks inside in my finished basement where I keep the temp at 67°. 🧐🤔
Clear shower curtains or painting tarp would work to cover green stocks.
I ordered a Greenstalk from your website for my husband to gift me for Christmas 😊. I'm going to put in on the deck by our pool this summer so the kids can pick strawberry snacks during swim days. Btw, ordering from your site was quick and easy. Thank you! Merry Christmas!
You’ve got me itching to get some greens growing 🙂
Great video, I have two green stalk planters. I learned a lot from your video as to how to care for them and to plant in winter. I don't have a green house, but I still think I could do something with them. So maybe I can experiment. Thanks Laura, I learn so much from your channel. Merry Christmas!
I will defenately start my seeds.
Thanks for reminding us.❤❤❤❤
Oh my do I want to get my fingers in the dirt after watching you this morning. Time to get out the seeds and start my winter sowing in milk jugs. Merry Christmas All!
This gets me motivated to start Some of my seeds. Here in Southern California we need to remember to plant these in the winter also. Thank you.
Laura, you could soak your diffusers in CLR and save some $.
Afternoon Everyone 🥰
💚💜 Seed starting!!!! I'm soo ready!! It seems like strawberries take a few yrs to get going. I had to keep pruning the baby leaves off and than at the end of summer they were finally getting big fruit along with them huge thick leaves and many runners!! I like the tower but I need more runners to grow more plants!! This tower on the hand would be great to have the grandkids go up and grab a snack! Samantha Grace showed us how to do it! That zap dance was pure joy to see her do lol!!❤
All my kids got zapped with the dance! The crunched hands and the squeal scream of joy 😂. That video was great of her! Oh not to mention her soft thank you she tells momma!❤ 🥕!!
Can you soak those diffuser in a bucket, perhaps a milk jug of vinegar or lime away to clean them?
I didn't know chives come back. This is new. Always learning from you. Wishing you and your family happy & safe holidays.
They spread too.
In Australia we have a product called CLR, it removes calcium, lime and rust, it might be good for soaking your hose nozzles in.
You always inspire me to get my hands dirty in the garden.
It will be so satisfying to see those seed sprout and grow. Have a Merry Christmas everyone.
Good good evening to everyone...
The thyme, sage and rosemary you cut way back is perfect for laying out to dry for unparalleled fresh dried herbs❤
Laura, thank you so much for the information you share with us. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Great video! I can’t bet your planting in December.
I'm so excited to see you working in the GreenStalks. I seen how sad they were looking in a previous video. I just ordered a GreenStalk from your website, and plan to order more! Very exciting to use them this coming Spring in my small garden space.
You got me hooked on that green stalk. I only have a back patio on the 3rd floor. I can get more plants now. Just wanted to say thanks. Have a nice holiday
Greens talk on my next year list of things to buy!
Isn't it so nice having water in there now? 😊
I, too, have started seeds this week. Feels so good to get my hands in soil! 🥰
Love, love, love having found your channel and all of your very useful tips and gardening information!! Any chance you could provide details on the gravel used on the floor of your greenhouse(?) in this video today? Exactly what we’re looking for to use for a pathway in our very small KY garden but just can’t source the rock locally. Don’t want the rounded gravel pebbles; want the crushed drainage gravel that you have, in your colors, which provides just the right “crunch” sound that we’re looking for when the gravel is walked on. Appreciate any sourcing info you can provide. Thanks, Laura! Happy holidays!!
Merry Christmas Laura and Aaron and family!! Thank u for another fun and inspiring year!! Watching your family and your beautiful property grow through the years is a true blessing to see ...God bless you all! 💖🙏🥳🎄
Hi Laura! I'm thinking about writing for a grant for some Greenstalk towers for our elementary school garden club.🧑🌾Question: Do you find they hold up in your wind when you've had them outside?
Now I want to start all the seeds! I have Romaine growing in stock tanks on the side of my house & it looks great! Zone 8, formerly 7, which I still don’t quite believe lol. Thanks for sharing this process!
Hi Laura! Thanks for sharing!
17:54 have you tried soaking your watering wands in white vinegar overnight and then giving them a quick scrub to clean out the hard water deposits? I have to do that for my kitchen faucet and the shower heads in my house. I'm getting ready to drop my sprinkler and watering head into a bucket of 50/50 vinegar and water. It's part of my December tools maintenance.
Good morning Laura! Thank you for this video. Hugs from N.C..❤
It's so wonderful to see something being grown from seed in the winter!
Hang up a bunch of that thyme in the chicken house or put some in nesting boxes . Smells lovely.
Vinegar works well to remove calcium and hard water from just about everything 😊
Good Morning! 🎄 I like those Greenstalk containers! I am thinking about one! 🙂🥬🥕🍓🌿
Where do you get that little water mister? I converted my front porch to a greenhouse and have to carry all my trays into my house to water them. Quite the pain for this old lady. One of those misters would make my life so much easier.
