I don’t know a thing about gardening but will share with my mom again. I just like seeing your cute face with those pigtails!

    Amy Lynn thanks

      Fresh Basil in water died on the table on my balcony like 4 times. I can’t even keep a houseplant alive so I give you a lot of credit! My mom has done amazing things with her garden in a little strip of a yard in DelCo.

        Amy Lynn there is a learning curve but I think it’s worth it. I also think the viability of most herbs is overstated.

          I am also a “not green thumb” but I started with sweet potatoes and I’m venturing into a FEW things. Nothing hits the dirt (pot) unless Quincey Adams tells me to, in person or on video. Yeah, I’m a “hold my hand like a toddler gardener.” But like she said, “not perfection, just get it done!”

I can just seat and listen to you for hours, so knowledgeable and such a pleasant voice, love it. I told you that it is so much to learn from you thanks for sharing

Is it bad if the seeds float?

    Quincey Adams · April 8, 2020 at 6:19 PM

    Melissa Steinman they are less likely to be viable but do not throw them away. If you are growing kitchen scraps you are already trying so.ething that may not work.

      Noted. Also, good use for the plastic shot glasses that I have NO idea where they came from.
