Key insights about video 1st Garden Update 2020 + Aldi Greenhouse Review {Gardening for Groceries: Gardening for Busy Moms!}

🌱 The video creator was working outside in cold, windy, and sunny conditions to plant cherry bushes.

🍒 The cherry bushes planted are of the Hanson's Bush Series and the Nankeen Bush Cherries, which are grown similar to blueberry bushes.

🌿 The creator anticipates a challenge in maintaining the area around the fruit trees and garden, suggesting a desire to find a mulching solution for easier upkeep.

🔄 The placement for the cherry bushes has been planned with specific spacing in mind (4-6 feet for one type, 6-8 feet for another), and the creator intends to keep them pruned to fit the space.

🌬️ Some seedlings in the video creator's garden suffered due to being overly insulated or possibly dried out and "baked" on hot days.

🌳 The $20 Aldi greenhouse used by the video creator has lasted several years but now requires replacement due to wear and the plastic deteriorating.

🌞 The video creator expanded the garden significantly to accommodate more potatoes but is concerned that impending rain may prevent the newly turned soil from killing off the grass.

💧 Bottom watering is the preferred method for watering seedlings, as demonstrated with the tomato plants being watered using a kitchen cookie sheet for lack of a better system.

🔍 Close monitoring of plant progress is shown as the video creator examines potato sprouts to ensure they aren't rotting and celebrates the emergence of the first visible potato sprout.

Q&A

What are the cherry bushes being planted near?

The cherry bushes are being planted in a gap between the grapes and the fruit trees.

For spacing the cherry bushes, what distance is recommended?

One kind is recommended to be spaced 4 to 6 feet apart and the other 6 to 8 feet apart.

What might have caused some plants to not do well in the winter sowing jars?

A combination of using PET bottles instead of milk jugs, and tying the bottles together might have insulated the ones in the middle too much, leading to them getting cooked on hot days.

What is the status of the $20 Aldi greenhouse after several years?

The connectors have rotted out, and the plastic is degraded, making it just a net, so it's no longer insulating.

What is the greenhouse now being used for?

The greenhouse is being used to start warmer weather crops like watermelon, cucumbers, and zucchini.

How have the potatoes been progressing in the garden?

The potatoes have started to sprout and put out roots, even though they are not visibly up in the rows yet.

What is the method used to water the tomato plants started in egg cartons?

The tomato plants are bottom watered using a cookie sheet until they are ready to be moved to the greenhouse.
