Robbie, you could never bore anyone!! I love to listen to you. I wish I had your energy.
Your channel is such a joy to watch, I have been inspired here many many times! Happy Gardening Robbie and Gary 🌱
Thanks so much 😊
Robbie I put this video in my "Key Videos" list. So much helpful information! This weekend was "bulky waste" pickup in my neighborhood. Everyone put their junk on the sidewalks and I found so many great things for my garden! I filled my backseat and trunk full of stuff. It was better than trick or treat!
l had a wonderful time this morning having my coffee with you!!! was like being there with you.. BLESSINGS
Thank you so much 😊
Carolyn, what a wonderful time we could have! Drinking coffee and watching the birds. Can you you imagine?❤☺
I about choked on my tea when I saw you pull that puppy out of your pocket. My hubby use to carry our first chihuahua in his pockets all the time.
28:16 !
Make your T-shirt pocket big enough to hold masking tape, gloves, sharpie and a puppy.
I love the puppy part...lol
Thank you so much for stating your location and planting zone. I need to know that for reference and most youtubers forget to say so. Thanks!
the puppy was the bomb...thank you for mentioning the weed and insect killers that affect our wild bird populations and butterflies too.
I just spent the afternoon marking flimsy plant labels I got off Amazon....Im going to cut up some of my broken tote lids....
The totes are worth buying just for the lids, LOL, take care, Thanks
Hello Robbie! Thank you for all of your videos. I've started my tote garden, thanks to you! I've got 18 grey sterilite 18 gallon totes lined up in my driveway. (You were right about the color grey! They look great!) They are all almost full, using your instructions. LOVED filling the bottoms with all of the twigs from around my yard, and my kitchen garden scraps. Hopefully, I will get them planted in the next week or so. I want it to warm up a bit more first.
I've also purchased a bunch of grey bathroom wastebaskets from Walmart. They turned out to make a perfect tower garden on top of the totes. Two wastebaskets, side by side, fit perfectly in about one half or less of the totes, so there is still room for a nice big plant in the tote.
An idea for a video...
I'm having trouble making decisions as to what should go in the bottom totes, and what should be planted in the upper containers, which are about 1 gallon each. My mode of operation would be to spend all my time worrying about wasting the space in the totes with small plants, and never end up making up my mind and putting seeds in the dirt. Since I am just getting started, I can't afford to waste the bigger containers. For instance, how big of a container does a pepper need? If I put them in a tote, how many plants? Can you give us some suggestions as to what vegetables should go in what size container, and how many plants could go in each.? If I do some smaller 6 inch pots, would that work for a 3rd top level, and what would I plant in them? Would they work for strawberries, or should they be in the 1 gallon containers? What about herbs? . That would make a great video.
These are some of the things I will be planting... I know it's an ambitious list. Does it sound like I am on the right track?
18 GALLON TOTE:
bell pepper
hot pepper, jalapeno
zuchinni
tomato, (large, indeterminate growth)
tomato, (smaller determinate growth)
red and russet potatoes (are you doing potatoes in your totes?)
sweet potato
watermelon
cantaloupe
crenshaw melon
Ground cherries
1 GALLON WASTEBASKET SIZE CONTAINER:
peas
carrots, half long
raddish
romaine lettuce
strawberries, 1 per container
6 INCH DIAMETER CONTAINER
Various herbs: oregano, cilantro, sage, thyme, rosemary, lime basil
16 INCH DIAMETER CONTAINTERS, REGULAR PLANT POTS, live plants:
dwarf bush-style raspberry hybridized for containers
dwarf bush-style blackberry hybridized for containers
dwarf blueberry hybridized for containers
dwarf everbearing mulberry
pomegranate?
I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO PUT THESE! arggghhh:
lettuce, romaine
yellow, white, and red onions
leeks
shallots
garlic (can garlic be in a shallower container that the 18 gallon tote?)
beets
Thank you so much, Robbie. I love your videos!
Marianne

My favourite gardener - starting my garden in Maryland also - my solar fountains doing great too ! Those little four legged creatures , too cute but causing damage always !
LOVED this update
ROBBIE!!! YOU AND GARY ARE A TREASURE!🌻
YOUR VIDEOS MAKE MY DAY!🌞
I THANK YOU SO MUCH!🌻
❤FROM DALLAS TEXAS
Girl I love your videos I'm obsessed your Garden is my dream garden I love in Canada and I started watching your videos about 2 months ago over the years I have thrown so much kitchen scraps I could have feed the whole country lol I started composting a month ago I can't belive how much I have collected and I went to the park to get worms to LoL you rock keep up the great work
Robbie, my walking onions are starting to make babies...LOL!!! I’ll always have onions because I saw them on your channel. My Dad had them when I was a kid and it’s a bit nostalgic for me to have seen them on your channel. And so much fun to have found you and Gary on YT!!! Thanks again, so much...love watching!
Robbie - I haven’t begun to grow any food yet but I’ve learned so much from you. I had sprouted some flower seeds and was sitting them outside during the day on the rail around the deck. I had the little peat pots in a tray. I went out one day and the whole tray was upside down on the floor of the deck. I knew what happened. A bird had landed on one side of the tray and flipped it. Because of you, I knew exactly what to do. I went in and got my toulle. And I put a brick in the tray! Thank you. I also learned something new from tonight’s video so thanks again!
You two are so garden smart and simple, in helping us to grow some food. God bless you guys.
Thank you so much 😊
You and Gary have a wonderful day to. Lid label idea is great . I enjoyed your video you made my day when you pull the dog out of your pocket.😃
I could only imaging getting up listening to all the birds
One love
Labels are lovely . They made me smile
I found you last week! I now have a 5 gallon bucket with a bubbler. Such a fabulous idea. I enjoy the information you share. 😊
Wonderful! Thanks so much 😊
Robbie, I love how down to earth you are, full of new ideas on the cheap. THANK YOU! Still my favorite tip I've shared from you is tape in face mask to eliminate glasses fog. That was brilliant and so practical. Painters tape works perfectly.
You definitely inspire me to try new things. Again, thank you.
Please plant some flowers! Wild Love and need them too. I love that you have all that land there. But that wall is intimidating. Sun flowers .There are so many types. Sizes,colors. Maybe you could paint something beautiful on it with bite colors. A picture of you and your honey. With hummingbirds flying around ? Anyway I love what your doing. But don't forget the "FLOWERS "🌻🌼🌺🌷🌸🦋⚘🐝🍀
Dont forget to plant more broccoli for Kitty ... I have learn a lot from you and Gary have a bless day !
Omg was that a puppy... I love listening to you explain your garden.
Since its difficult for me to plant veggies in the ground and so I am doing to garden by using totes and other containers. Thanks.
You have inspired me & Dog to start our container garden and start a video blog on TH-cam. ❤❤❤😊 thanks Robbie. You are the BEST 😍😍🥰🥰👏👏🤩🤩
I took your ideas on container growing, I double my containers for hight
I cut out the bottom of the one I put on the top
I put about 1 inch holes in the bottom container and place in on the ground instead of chairs
I also place my kitchen waste inside the containers as you do
Thank you for doing practical gardening
I love it
One love
Doing this on the ground beside hazelnut bushes and other plants since I don't have much room in our yard. Thanks!
Thanks Robbie! I learn something new from each video. Going to try the totes and ‘tule’. 💕
Hi!
I'm from central pennsylvania,and I'm so so grateful for your videos on container gardening. With health conditions that would have kept me from gardening this year I now hv hope and to compost in place so easy. I've got my totes n buckets n weather is. Now cooperating I can get started,thank you from bottom of my heart,I am learning so much
Loved this video. Lots of good info. Loved the extra info on the birds and thistle. Definitely want to attract more birds to my property. Thanks for sharing all that you have learned.
I love container gardenering
I love your videos! I carry one of those fanny packs around my waist when I do yard work lol...
Old plastic window blinds (white ones). Can be made as long or short as you want. I find them them in the dumpster, along the road, etc.
You are entertaining as wel as informative . Thanks
This is one of your best videos.
I almost gave up gardening. My big pots where I composted in place /planted were too deep and tapered. However, the totes are a perfect depth and growing area.
Side by side, even on the ground, they look like colorful raised beds.
Thank you.
Take an old venetian blind and cut the slats for markers for the garden!
Never say Never, Gary! Sunflowers, I have one side of the house with the main drive all sunflowers, that does draw the Canadian Canaries. I like the 'little extras' on your labels~
Thanks Robbie for another informative video. Love you and Gary
Vinyl window shade slates is what my fathers Dahlia society used for labels
I pulled a big tote off a trashpile but then worried what they may have had in it. Ebay had 8 totes 18 gallons for $50.77 +tax and they will be here today. Our temps went into the 20's so now I will be preparing for next spring. I think the only other things I can grow outside is collards. I had some real thin flowerpot that had small slits and I was going to throw them out & then I thought line it with tulle and use again. Robbie, you are making us become more creative. These 8 totes will be making compost. Love you and Gary ♥
Gary's transplanting weeds? Uncharted terrain 😳👏
The bottom of water bottle is a flower shape. Cut it off and paint for yard deco
I just label directly on plañter edge with black sharpie. Free and lasts long, if I change plant, just paint over writing
You can also use your mini blinds, as labels
I notice some art at the top of some labels nice 😊
I LOVE YOUR LONG VIDEOS!!!!
Thanks Robbie, great video.
Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks so much 😊
I love your videos! I don't care how long they are!! 😀 Have a great day!
I bought white sharpie paint pants for my navy blue totes and lids it works good so far.😊🌱🦎💓🐝🐾🐾
Perfect that sounds great and so many colors of pens 😊 BUT you wait till early Spring when you see what I am doing now 😊😃❤️
I'll be making some this winter when it's cold and I'm stuck inside! Thanks Robbie!
Soap containers make great planters but can also be cut up to make plant decorations.
I like your smart ideas.
Great idea using the totes lids, thank you for sharing.
Thank you Robbie for this video 🥰🥰
Hey Robbie, I have another tip for you that I use for labels. I go to the thrift store & get a Venetian blind, doesn’t matter if it works or not but take it apart & cut your labels to whatever size you need. They will last forever & it’s cheap. 18:01
I want a puppy in my pocket!! How cute! Hmm.. I wonder if my 🐈 will sit in a pocket. 3 x’s the size of ur puppy though! ✌️ video helps to get me thinking. I got a huge wind issue on my property so maybe I can rig up the lids , but with a few vent holes.. . Ty
Always wait for your videos and diy ideas❤️
I use the lids for totes as trays under a tote to catch run off water for another container sitting there- fertilizer. Works good for bottom holes or the few grow bags I have. Also the tote lids blocks weeds. But I want to start cutting some labels from them too. Have you tried the slats from old blinds, for labels? Thank you for this video. Hi Gary and Kitty.
I made some labels from my milk carton, and I can't wait to get planting next month! Now I should get some tulle! haha, thanks, Robbie! God bless you for taking care of the birds. We're trying to too!
I enjoyed your video from begging to end and may watch it twice. We had our first family BBQ this yr because the weather in Ontario was finally warm enough to sit outside. It wasn't until the kids had left that I went to put the lid on the sandbox and discovered my 3yr old grandson had taken all the pretty coloured markers out of my garden and made a design in the sandbox....gotta love them
Thanks! I needed a good laugh.
I love your long videos 😊 you have so much information for us and I love to see all the birds too. The other day I told my husband that I wanted to plant some sunflowers around our pig enclosure and he said " I need to get there to cut the weeds" so I'm going to take your advice and plant in totes! The way I remember which numbers on the bottom of the totes are good or not is " Number 3, let it be" (don't use 3's) 😂
I always learn something new from your videos! Thank you so much 😊
Love your vedio s l move in az and container gardening works for me 😳💝
I love your channel! You have the greatest ideas! I love your hummer birds ideas. I love your tote ideas, especially putting them up on a chair, so they are easier to bend over. So wonderful. Very down to earth and like to reuse damaged items. I have put duct tape on some of my pots that cracked or have a hole, so I can keep them for that much longer.
I love your videos. I learn so much. Thank you!
❤&Tytyty Robbie❣ Soo appreciative of All your Magnificent works and inspiring informative insights. Make Nonevermind of/on Ppl that R negative... Looking 4ward 2 All your Vlogs again Tytyty 🥰
Happy Spring 🌷🌺🌸🌹 thanks for today’s video ✨✨✨
I loved the long video 😍🤩 thank You
Really enjoyed your video! Lots of good tips, thank you! I love all of your birds💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙 who was that little cutie patutie you pulled out of your pocket? Is he a new dog for you guys?
Yes, Robbie!! I have the same issue. I use a notebook to keep track of what I plant and to draw little grids. I've accepted the fact that I'm NOT going to remember what's what. Im currently using the white plant labels from dollar tree. I'm going to try this method too because I have cracked lids that would work just fine for this!
Awesome ideas!
Always love your videos Robbie. Your brain must be running a mile a minute to come up with all your wonderful ideas. Do you spring out of bed each morning raring to go? : )
Is that an Akubra you're wearing Garry?
Love the garden♥️
Great tips. Thank you!
My goodness you have the perfect situation to grow winecap mushrooms all you need is a shady spot with some straw and woodchips and in 4 or 5 months you could have all the mushrooms your heart desires.
Thank you for all that! I wondered allot of the things you explained 😆
we put endless amount of effort into growing a massive amount of butternut squash just to lose the war against squirrels who stole over 100 and we only got 10
😮😮😮
Ingenious 😀👍thanxxx
Love your labels!
Robbie please show us how to do the corners for the garden stakes.
Robbie I just found you videos and I’m so excited to get started on watching them and start building a tote garden! I’m in central New York and have three littles who I want to develop a love of growing know the joy that comes from growing your own food. Can you help me understand about spacing of plants inside the totes? The tags make it seem like I’d need acres to grow even a medium sized garden. Which plants should only have one single plant per tote? Do you have a specific video that addresses spacing? Thank you for any help and thank you for making these videos!
SHARPIE “extreme” is UV Proof
Minnie Bear...thank you so much for that tip!!🌞
Ms. Robbie, I noticed that Mr. Gary is using an upright freezer raising plants. How well is that working? I have one that was going to the dump, can I do safely?
Second question is a have two kiddie pools, if I was to fill the pools and place containers inside, what vegetables would work? Thank you for all your amazing ideas. You continue to motivate this 65 yr old lady.
Had I missed the reply?
I plant in kiddy pools. I grow tomatoes that are in containers that sit on the soil in th pool. I grow all kinds of greens just in the soil. I have grown onions and garlic. Hope this helps.
Bought 5 totes at Walmart - got the lids (no purple) and gonna make labels tomorrow!
There is purple at our Walmart today.
Hi Robbie, I love your videos. What is the name of plant you put against the wall for food for the birds?
Sow Thistle, Thanks so much 😊
Amazing!
City here does not allow all the stuff
Would get fined $1,000 a day and they would charge to take it too
I'm thinking of trying to make one whole tote out of tote lids by hooking them together with tie wraps
I wish I had birds like you, all I have are blue jays that run off any bird that happens by and I don't have hardly any little birds, but, I keep putting out the food, hoping
So cheap I have to pay $29 for a large tote in Australia but I’m buying one a pay
Hi! New subscriber here. I live on Tahoe at 7000ft. The squirrels won’t leave my plants alone. I was looking for another way to grow and I’ve found your channel. Do you have any videos about approximate how many for example cabbages you grow in your containers?
OMG I think I'm the first comment!!! I'm so excited.
Recycled mini blind slats make excellent markers
Would you please put a link where you buy your totes by the case. I've driven to four Wal-Mart's and they are sold out. Thank you!!!!!!
Wonderful👍👋🙏✌
WOOD CHIPS CAN DRAW IN TERMITES
And termites killed my corn no joke
I don't have the extra money for 6 dollar containers each,
how about Dollar Store buckets, I can get 6 buckets instead for a dollar each- will that work? You are lucky to have thrift stores open, our thrift stores have been closed during the shutdown and our best church thrift has shut down permanently, sad.
I bought a few of the dollar buckets and sadly, they broke too soon.
I didn't look at the bottom so they may not even be food safe. Pls check.
Your pumps are they all solar I would love to do this as well
Questions ..can you use tree bark? We have these big silver maple trees that are really messy and keep shedding its bark..also can you put woods chips on top to help with moisture? I make my own cards with different 12 x 12 cardstock and mostly coloured could I use it shredded in the totes as well? Your video of the birds is beautiful!!
