You should start a garden rescue series, love these style of videos. After watching for a few years the usual seed starting/tutorials get repetitive.
I hope she went after them legally. The house should have been tented to prevent that.
I'd probably sue the exterminators for not properly containing their treatment cause that's just straight up dangerous for her health to be exposed like that
Jacques, you should do a video with your layout ideas. You suggested planting cabbage in the center and Broc on the sides for more frequent harvesting here, and in another vid on your channel you suggested planting flowers in the center of wider, harder to reach beds so you don't have to reach in all the time. These are great suggestions that less experienced gardeners like myself really appreciate! ❤
Hope you'll do a followup -- maybe in a year -- to let us see how her garden is doing. I'm wondering what that toxic cloud did to the soil and all the surfaces of her garden. Glad you're giving her raised beds with all new soil.
this is what we should all strive to do, help out someone who has had a setback. makes my heart feel good watching you guys get in the dirt and get her garden back with her.
This is the second influencer this summer that I've seen had their garden destroyed by their neighbors inconsideration. I totally understand doing what you need to do to maintain your property (in the other case, the neighbor sprayed herbicide to kill poison ivy on their side of the fence & the overspray totally destroyed their neighbors organic garden). What ever happened to COMMUNICATION??? Talk before you act and come up with a mutually beneficial plan.
THAT NEIGHBOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bless your kindness for the rebuild.
I am so jealous of Priscilla!! New huge garden, gorilla carts, and mostly helping Jacques and Eric/Kevin put the garden together!! Now THAT is EPIC!
I love that they each took time to answer her individual questions, even though it made the build and planting take a little longer, in such a caring way. Yes, she had a garden before but there is always so much more to learn. The guys sharing their knowledge and wisdom for someone who genuinely wanted to learn was so beautiful to see. Good luck, Priscilla!
