DOLLAR store PLANTERS! (BUDGET-FRIENDLY)  

Wonderful ideas, btw next time don't buy a truck load of strawberry plants... Buy like 10 and let them send out all their babies from FREE runners!

What are the main reasons your birds go after your vegetables is because they just want the water in them. If you put a birdbath in the middle of your garden, the birds will stay away from your plants. While your birds are drinking the water, they’ll see the insects in your garden and they’ll eat them.

You should be proud of your garden it's beautiful😊

Don’t apologize for solving problems as you go along. Solving as you go along just shows your brilliance and ingenuity. Impressive, keep it up👍🏾.

Thank you for keeping me company while my husband is in the CATH lab. Y’all pray for him please.

Your smile and ALWAYS happy attitude is like a breath of spring air!

Very cool garden. I used to go to food giveaways and ask them if I could have the old produce,especially the ones that have seeds in them. The rest I brought home and threw them in my mulch pile.I had a crazy amount of free seeds and rich black mulch from all the produce waste. I turned ugly dressers on the side of the road into planters. Didn't matter if it was kinda busted.I just turned the ugly dressers on their backs and filled the pockets with good dirt and mulch. You can even hang old boots from a clothesline and fill with mulch and plant plants. Hope this helps the poor who have little of anything. Remember if you even ask for a glass of water at a restaurant, you ask for lemon and there is your seeds once again. ❤

I love your sweet nature and your happiness in building your garden. made me smile with you.

The file cabinet planters are genius!! We were going to get rid of two of them and now I have raised planters for my pinto beans. Thank you so much. You're a treasure!

Oh my gosh, I just discovered YOU! At 63 I am on a fixed income and love your ingenuity, some for the art of it, and others for the necessity; Thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity :)

Hi, if you take 2 of the laundry bags cut them each at one seam then sew them together it’ll make a larger bag 🤷🏽‍♀️ ❤

I up cycled my co workers mineral tubs he has for his cattle, he gave me the pic of all the ones piled up behind his barn, I got 50! I now have 28 tomato plants and growing 10 bush green beans in each under my tomato plants and I have 20 bell peppers I ordered more bush green beans to plant under those also, have cauliflower and broccoli growing and will be harvesting my larger onions this weekend, I over winter my onions and made a huge difference in the size of my onions. Same with garlic. Once I harvest and get them laid out to cure I will be putting in my squash and zucchini. I grow Swiss chard as it doesn’t bolt in my texas heat but grows 10 months out of the year and my hens love it right along with myself. Sweet potato slips going in this weekend😊 the Lord is good always

Love the filing cabinet planters! It never occurred to me to use them for plants. Now I am going to Goodwill to gather as much leftover metal furniture to upcycle as I can get. Very good idea :)

I did a strange thing a few years ago and it has worked well. My mother in law had lived with us for a while before her dementia got worse. When she had to move to a nursing home I discovered some adult diapers left behind. I took them, ripped them apart partially and placed them below root level in my planters. They helped maintain moisture better than any commercial product. They also last a couple of years and continue working. Since then I have bought a package of cheap “diapers “ and they especially work well in hanging planters.

I’m not even sure how I clicked on this video, but it was definitely God leading me for inspiration. I’m going through a divorce and obviously money is going to be extremely tight. However, I’m desperate to be able to do all the things I used to enjoy before I got married. Gardening and having a nice yard is a huge priority. I’m not talented so I appreciate people like you who have visions for being able to see things in ways that are not the intended use. The file cabinets were amazing!! How you planted the strawberries made me want to run to the dollar store and buy every cocoa liner and basket in sight 😆😂. You have a new subscriber here and I’ll be watching your previous videos to catch up. I’m the most excited to see how your strawberry plants grow in the coming months. God Bless 🧡 Lorie 😊

I've also seen people use those coco liners as a mini mulch ring for small shrubs or trees to keep weeds down and keep away from overmulching the stems. The dollar store ones only run a couple bucks for two of them instead of the ones marketed on Amazon to be mulch rings.

When you say that you picked something up from the side of the road or from the dump I say I love this lady!!! We need to think outside the box more often. Thank you for the ideas and information! May you and your garden be blessed with abundance of good!!!!

LOVE YOUR GREEN HOUSE, THANKS FOR SHARING #NOT A DAY WITHOUT JESUS 🙏

I loved your video. I can no longer garden because of my health but I do have houseplants. I love watching you and think about gardening in my past-Susan

I don’t think I've seen another gardening channel like this. Wonderful ideas that have given me ideas. I subscribed right away. Can't wait to see the strawberries!

I absolutely love your energy! Thank you for being a little ray of sunshine 💚

I wasn’t even listening to what you were saying at first, I was just loving your spirit! Smile on sunshine!😊

I love you and I want to come be your neighbor! I'm 60 and I love to garden but I am in an apartment right now with the daughter-in-law that won't let me put anything on the extra large patio we have in front. She is being mean so I'm thinking of moving to the country, getting a roommate so that I can live out my days doing something that I love. I'm in Texas but I'm willing to go anywhere I think. You have a beautiful garden and I just learned about you today and I don't know you but I'm very proud of what you've done. And I know you are too. ❤

Way to go girl. I am 84.and did the same too. Ly

EXCELLENT INFORMATION, I BELIEVE EVERYONE OF US SHOULD OWN A PIECE OF LAND. IT IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS TRUE INDEPENDENCE AND YOU WONT HAVE TO DEPEND ON THE GOVERNMENT WHO DENIED US OUR 40 ACERS AND A MULE, PLUS YOU GET TO GROW YOUR OWN FOOD…..WELL DONE MY SISTA 😇🙏🏽👍🏾👏🏽

Im in SC in zone 7b it's 80 degrees here I've been out planting in my garden, i love all of your ideas, last year I took a large clothes basket and lined it with the landscape cloth and grew cucumbers in it and it really works great i had so many cucumbers I had to give a lot of them away. Thanks for sharing your ideas ❤

This is my first time watching one of your videos, and you have inspired me. I’m a newbie and I feel so overwhelmed, like with costs and knowing what to do. I’m really late getting started, but I am feeling excited anyway after hearing your joy and budget savers.

I love your innovative, affordable, simplistic gardening tips! You’re an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your helps with the rest of us💕🙌🏼💃🏼🙏🏼

I LOVE YOUR GARDEN AND YOUR VISION OF EVERYTHING YOU PUT TOGETHER

Just a note to anyone using fruit tree mesh - if you can fit a finger through the mesh holes, you will catch small birds and bats in the mesh, which is a disaster. Use the small hole mesh, like she shows here! Beautiful job! ❤

The basket is my favorite👍👍👍👍👍#NOT A DAY WITHOUT JESUS 🙏

First time here. I love where you're coming from. I also like upcycling. Your garden is beautiful. I will be subscribing to get more inspiration from you. Thank you for sharing.

Maybe think about putting marigolds or another companion plant in top of your strawberry planters. It would be really pretty, and some protection from aphids and other critters

It was meant for me to watch this. It kept popping up. Despite me not clicking on it, lol 😂. I finally did!! I love this.

Thank you so much for the black basket idea to hang the strawberries off the ground! It’s such an innovative idea.

I am so glad this charming channel showed up in my feed!

I did my strawberries in the way you did in the basket… only I filled two baskets with the cocoa coir and dirt then….. I put they two together with zip ties to form a globe and voila a strawberry globe. It’s a winner . You should totally try it. However you need to water them more often than you might think. I dip mine twice a day in my rain barrel. ❤😊

Taqueshia, you and Thomas are SO CREATIVE!! His building is no garden "shed". With that multi- paned window and the roof shingles it is a Tiny Home!! Hmmm... Do I see a young person or two sleeping out there in the future, as a hideaway?!? I love your basket lined w/ weed fabric, planted to strawberries best!

I think that basket is cute and i think it'd be cute with the 🥥 liner in it

Nice greenhouse !! You can get a lot of treasures ❤ on the side of the road ❤

Your garden is very nice and I love all of your diy's, very creative and inspirational.😊😊😊😊

As you're twisting the extra fabric on your basket planter, your skillful hands show us that you've had much time in plaiting beautiful braids for some precious girls or young ladies!❤

Your garden looks so good. Thomas is so resourceful. Many blessings

Just simply love you for sharing this. God bless. God bless our soldiers. God bless America.

I really liked all of these little finds. Gotta make a run to my local Dollar tree now I have some seeds I wanna start planting

I love your ideas! I’m getting more windmills! :-) Strawberry planter ideas are so awesome. You are fun!!! You could even plant the extra strawberries around the inside fence line. They will spread and can collect repopulated strawberries the following year.

Watching you roll that fabric was so satisfying that I watched it way too many times am now commenting on it 😂

OMG everything is looking so beautiful and Thomas is really putting the work on your shed! I know you're proud of your hubby. Thanks for sharing and happy gardening?🙏❣️

I cannot wait for your gardens to grow. Those videos will be spectacular and heart warming if you know what I mean. The things that make us happy lol.

Your inspiring 😊 me to go Dollar Tree shopping. Lovely gardening ideas💡🤔

5:00 I ran out of planters one year and planted strawberries in Amazon boxes. Just put the soil into the boxes and they lasted all through the season and actually were still sitting there ready to be used the next year. I could have made it more like a strawberry planter if I had cut holes around the boxes. I used to think everything had to be just so and had to have all the right tools and containers, but it is easy to become resourceful!

This is the video I've been waiting for...YAYYY❗️😄 It warms my ❤️ to see that U really do review our comments. With how busy gardeners are this time of the year, I didn't expect to see this video so soon. Just know that it is right on time & very much Appreciated❗️☺️ Thank U...Thank U...Thank U...Lit'l Darling❗️ You Truly are/have a genuine Creative Spirit ❣️✨️ 🥰

I live in the woods in the Sierras and I love your ideas and your garden. The dollar store has been a great friend to this ol retired teacher, for plastic pots and bins...they have survived heat and snow some for years...truly a bargain. Your property is so pretty. I have to garden behind fences for the most part, because of the deer and critters, so I love all your ideas for vertical planting on the fence and fence posts!

Everything you've done looks wonderful. Keep in mind that you are going to need to really feed this tightly packed areas. Good luck, keeping my fingers crossed for you.😊

The file cabinet idea is amazing!

I love after rain anywhere and everywhere and the air smells so fresh.

❤ You have shared some wonderful ideas and I love it. I'm surely feeling some type of Martha Stewart vibe happening with what you have done with your budget friendly ideas for your garden which can be used in so many ways with either vegetable's or flowers 🌺 love seeing more of your creative side prayers for you that you have an amazing growing season 🥀🌺🌻🌼🪴🍓🌶️🥕🍅🍆🥜🤗

Absolutely love the hanging strawberry planter idea 😊

You have such a beautiful spirit and attitude. Thank you 🌿💜

I love them all!!! That basket, though - sooooo ahhhhdorable!

Necessity is the mother of invention is a real thing!😀

Keep trying new things. The ones that don't work aren't failures because they still teach us something and inspire future successful ideas.

I'm so glad that you are enjoying your ability to do and to undo your garden ideas. Keep growing your food.

To cover fruiting trees or strawberries, inexpensive tulle works also! The birds don’t seem to like getting their feet caught in it. Lol ❤

I love your little green house. Adorable.

I am so glad I found your channel!!! I have to check out ALL your other videos. I will definitely share as well! I will be using the mesh to cover my collard greens.

Oh, your thumbnail showed a metal planter! Thought I was getting a metal planter for a $1!

That laundry basket idea was awesome!

Love listening to you and learning from you. You have inspired me to spend the day in my garden today, creating! Love your joy, caught that contagious joy and gratitude for the gardening! Blessings to you❣️

Thank you!! You just solved a problem for me so creatively. I love the idea of going up when you don't have space on the ground. It's eye catching and saves space. ! I hope I can find these in the dollar store where I live.

So glad I found your site. Your joy and infectious smile put a smile on my face. Your ideas are so great.

So glad I found you!! I love how you think out of the box. So many great ideas and thanks for sharing!! It didn't take me long to subscribe. New gardener here in Louisiana Zone 8b. Can't wait to get to the dollar store with a new out of the box thought process. Love the filing cabinets idea.

My favorite is the fact that I found your videos! You have a sweetheart spirit and I love your work! Maggie

What great ideas you have! Thank you so much!! God Bless!!!

Loved all the ideas. So wonderful to watch you and all your wonders!! Can't wait to see it in full bloom❤

You are so much fun to watch. Your Joy is catching. One suggestion. Get some rather large washers and put them on the screws. This will give a wider support to the screws being put into post.

You are so creative!..I love the strawberries in the baskets.

Just found your channel and must say I haven't seen such a beautiful garden in a long while.. I only wish I was able to have a garden like yours.. I do grow in a few grow bags. I started some lemon seeds and cloned them on to a producing tree and I now have lemons on two trees.. Many blessing to you for sharing your ideas with us all..

I can’t wait to see how the strawberries turn out!

Wow so many great ideas. Thank you ❤

Your creativity continues to amaze me! I’ve been following you since the beginning.

Those planters on the posts look super cool!!!

Love that greenhouse!

FOR YEARS I HAVE USED THOSE NETTED BAGS TO PUT AROUND MY BLUEBERRY BUSHES. WORKS GREAT. I USED TO PUT A TOMATO CAGE AROUND THEM FIRST THEN THE NETTED BAGS ON THEM BUT NOW I JUST USE HEARTY TWIGS THAT HAVE EITHER FALLEN OR CUT FROM THE TREE, SET AROUND IN A CIRCUMFERANCE AND THEN PUT THE NETTER BAG ON THERE. ENJOY AND GOD BLESS

You have great road side finds!

Absolutely inspiring and beautiful, both you and the garden! Thank you for sharing💚✨

Wow, I love the idea of reusing items. I am coming to your house for a salad, collards.❤❤❤❤❤

I absolutely love how you take us along on your thought processes! Please don’t apologize for figuring things out on the fly. It helps my overwhelmed mind to slow down and figure out solutions with you. God bless!

Oh my gosh girl! You have a beautiful yard/garden and awesome ideas. You are very creative. GREAT JOB! Thank you, Mahealani

Your garden is amazing and you're delightful!❤
