I vote for flowers!! Love the idea of trailing geraniums. This is going to be fun! The pollinators will appreciate it!

@synergy2222 9 месяцев назад

I'd love to see the bed painted black with white criss-cross siding so it highlights the color of your garden. You've put in so much work into your and Gary's gardens that it deserves to be another beautiful vocal point. Another idea.... paint it all white and let your grand kids paint flowers, grass, butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, etc on the sides. Now that is a better memory, in my mind, than keeping it white just because a previous owner had it there for years! ❤

@mompuff 9 месяцев назад

I agree with you!! Get a white spray can to protect it from rusting!! Let the birds feed!! I just love you!,! Much love from Kentucky!! 🙌🏻🦋🙏🏻

@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy 9 месяцев назад

I agree with you, and Best yet, Gary just found the can in the garage of White, ❤️ Yes! Thank you!

A constant supply of food is a profound concept !!!! Way to "grow" , Robbie and Gary !!!! This channel is "priceless" !!!!

@jwater63 9 месяцев назад

I would for sure plant flowers in it. I think it would be beautiful. I would also try to paint some flowers or hummingbirds on the truck bed. ❤😊😊❤

@pollytiks3885 9 месяцев назад

Ooh, good idea!

@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy 9 месяцев назад

Funny, I have been thinking of painting and designing the truck bed, like I do all my old food containers I grow in, oops not sure if you have seen that😮 I will see if I have the time, if not this season, maybe next season❤ Thanks

Morning Robbie great idea to put flowers in there. Anthony from South Africa Western Cape

@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy 9 месяцев назад

Hi Anthony in South Africa, I think it may look really nice, the rabbits can eat it down 😊 and the pollinators and birds will love it, at least worth a try ❤

@kb1236 9 месяцев назад

All flowers in the truck bed would be beautiful!

@kikibeaumont1139 9 месяцев назад

Hi Robbie, here's an idea: how about if Gary built a low deck around it (especially the back if it) so it wouldn't be so hard for you to manage near the center? Maybe with a stairstep or two. Just a thought! Thanks.

@BarbaraC02 9 месяцев назад

Hi Robbie, loving your idea to fill the truck bed with flowers. That will look amazing.✨🌵✨🐓✨Zoe🐾

@sigomy333 9 месяцев назад

Another idea you could do is grow green vines all over the truck bed to make it look like a bush under the flowers...just a thought! 💙

@jimcoulter5877 9 месяцев назад

Plant some Red Petunias and let them trail down the side, the Hummers will love it!

@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy 9 месяцев назад

Maybe ❤ Thanks

@lifeisgood9175 9 месяцев назад

I concur with your executive decision! Lol. Great idea! I created a wildflower garden in a circle in the midst of my vegetable garden this year, and it brought us so much joy. I'd always wanted one, but, I was surprised to see how much my husband enjoyed it. He would take photos and send to friends and family.

I like your idea of growing geraniums that will hang over the edge and give a beautiful backdrop to the truck bed

@lisakruger5289 9 месяцев назад

I bet the truck bed will be beautiful when it's full of flowers! I want to try to do something similar behind the assisted living where my Mom lives. Just throw all kinds of Zinnia, cosmo and marigold seeds back there and let whatever grows grow! The soil is terrible and they don't mulch it or anything, so at least the flowers would look better than just the cracked dirt/clay that is there now! Thanks for the inspiration Robbie!! :)

@conniedavidson1807 9 месяцев назад

It would look good with Nasturtiums planting in the corners trailing down the sides. I love the wildflower idea also.

@graceinthegarden9151 9 месяцев назад

Yes, wildflowers would look awesome. I kept seeds from the flowers that bloomed really well last year. I threw them in an antique wheelbarrow I have sitting under the shepard hook that hold 4 feeders. I'm really hopeful that will be a success. I'm looking forward to the return of hummingbirds in about 4-4 1/2 months.

@Red--Bace2137 9 месяцев назад

I think what you decided to do will be awesome. We are looking forward to seeing the evolution of the truck bed 👍😂🤓. How 😊 fun

Cascading nasturtiums wud cover the rust… save ur paint 🙂 Wild flower seeds from dollar store along w zinnia & marigold will be a pollinators oasis

You won't be disappointed !!!! Potatoes are the easiest veggie to "grow" !!!! I grow potatoes in one and a half feet by one and a half feet by one and a half feet high double lined ( one inside of another ) free cardboard boxes that I get at WinCo grocery store !!!!

@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy 9 месяцев назад

Go for it ❤

@kenbrown438 9 месяцев назад

@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy : thanks Robbie for your reply !!!! We have an endless supply of potato starts for our community garden , because we're associated with the food pantry that receives potato donations !!!! And we use the sprouting potatoes which are not distributed to the public in the raised beds to grow more potatoes from the garden to the food pantry !!!! It's a great circle of potatoes that works for the benefit of the community !!!!

You are so right, it is staple of that part of your garden! I can’t wait to see how it looks throughout the year 😊

@delmadehoyos1946 9 месяцев назад

I just love to see what you and Gary do with different things, like that old bar be cue pit, and now this truck bed. I think flowers would be lovely. I love your chair garden too. The bucket to catch the liquid from your compost tub is such a good idea for compost tea. Thank you and Happy New Year to y'all!! 😃❤

@valoriegriego5212 9 месяцев назад

Howdy, Robbie! Flowers are a super idea!👍

@1Lightdancer 9 месяцев назад

This seems like a great place for flowers - I've got several wildflower and pollinator mixes that I intend to plant this year! For the buckets - have you grown yacon? It's one of the tubors grown with potatoes in the Andes, related to dahlias, they can be eaten raw or cooked. I've had several in bug pots the last couple of years, and brought the crowns into my greenhouse for winter. In Oregon, the natives used the tubors of our native 'sunroot' as well as camas and Sagittaria.

@cheriedoughan5583 9 месяцев назад

That’s going to look great. Try 4 o’clocks. Easy to grow and smell nice. A question? Is there a reason you don’t grow the same type of vegetables in the same area for easier harvest.

@mamabearthrives7815 9 месяцев назад

4:45 that would be BEAUTIFUL idea, draping geraniums 💯👏🌸💓 you helped inspired me to grow potatoes 🥔 🥰

@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy 9 месяцев назад

Thank you so much, the reason I went with geraniums, or thinking about geraniums, is, they’ll be free. I have the trailing ones growing all over here and they’re kind of a purple pink. ❤️

@terie.2165 9 месяцев назад

I have a big tall horse trough from tractor supply that I have been trying for years to grow stuff in, but it is in blasting western sun all day and I wind up having to shade everything. Summer before last I got tired of it and just let the green onions and a couple of basil plants go nuts and those Basil plants got huge. I am in Sacramento zoned 9b and the frost Hasn’t slowed them down at all. The hummingbirds and the bees love the flowers And it’s pretty. I left all my onions and Parsley and cilantro to go to see last year and the birds were everywhere. So my problem planter has become something different than I planned but it’s a welcome change!

@naturegirl8944 9 месяцев назад

Yes yes yes, definitely flowers. Over plant it. Nasturtiums would look amazing along with zinnias and geraniums . Do you have any sunflower seeds in your bird mixes? They would give height at the back. So glad you’re not using buckets. I know they are very practical but you’re going for pretty in this garden. Can’t wait to see it in full bloom. 🥰

Do you have a video on how to plant potatoes? Do you just stick a sprouted potato in the bucket with dirt?

@rocknmamma2666 9 месяцев назад

Been wondering where you got the colorful buckets? Assume you ordered online. Or not. Have searched all usual sites but if they have color they have labels.

@MelanieReed-oz3wz 8 месяцев назад

How about some nice native flowers since a lot of birds would prefer the native species. Deeper root systems means less watering too.
