that garden looks amazing

GOOD STUFF!

really amazing

Shawna you are helping me so
much in my gardening
keep it up.

Most probably this wont be welcomed by our home owners association let alone most neighbors. But I really wish I could use mine to be more useful to my family and those who're going hungry... Any ideas on how to have a low profile veggie/fruit front garden that doesn't stand out too much yet is a win-win!???

I think I will grow food to both eat and to give away.... but I am going to do it with vertical indoor vertical farming in a residential unit and it will comply with building codes, ordinances etc of most of the united states... see I am disabled and live in a government subsidized housing unit.. and many americans are in the same boat... so why shouldn't I demonstrate that by using a very small footprint of floorspace indoors you can have a very large garden that abides by the best spirits of permaculture.....

that patio is a hot mess.

People are resistant to change and are easily blinded by the traditional type of landscape. Organic Gardening should never see any level of opposition by the government or a home owners association... Last year, I started a 3x19 garden and will expand it to 7x19 this year. Many people walking past commented about the vigor of the plants growing in my yard, no mention of the weed infested grass LOL!

I noticed thats your front yard you are planting in ? U are so lucky...where i live i would have a big sticker on my door with a nice fine attached to it lol my front yard gets the MOST sun and i wish i could get something out of it...good luck

Very nice idea. I love it that you are feeding the hungry.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Shawna!!! +ure hot as hell ;)

i wish she could have said in the video what she was planting. I saw the collards I was just wondering what eles she would put in there

great video! -KC Heirlooms & Organics

Ms. Coronado, I think you are the most beautiful woman on youtube. Thank you for your inspiring videos. I loved your idea about donating your surplus produce to the local food pantry. That was an incredible idea. I live in an apt right now but I am moving back to an old house that I inherited in a rural area. I am looking forward to starting a garden. I cannot wait to donate my surplus produce to the local food bank. You are AWESOME !!! Thank you..

wow, that must have been very expensive!

Okay...your awesome in so many ways....wish i had a usefull woman like you. But...i have to tell you...transplanting is done at dawn or dusk....plants need to sleep before they are subjected to sun. Not transplanting at proper time can stun a plants growth by 2 weeks. Also...us a green light bulb if at night so as not to change plants natural cycle. Hope this helps for nest season :)

you didnt show anything about how to do anything except make a terrible attempt at sun beam shaped garden spaces

I love the ideas you have and use! Just because it says not recyclable doesn't mean it's not...And on a diff note you have a GREAT RACK! informative and fun to watch! Not tryin to be rude, it's the truth

Such a great idea. I'm going to use the stake and rope method for our garden. :)
