    I planted some basil, rosmary and mint not so long ago! It turned out great, I add them to food almost everyday! Great video!



  2. saul sernas gonzalo salgado on August 18, 2021 at 11:52 pm

    Love Basil because I like how it smells @calikim29



  3. Debbie Boullion on August 18, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    I didn’t know I could plant dill early I always plant it when I plant my cukes so it is ready when the cukes are ready for piking



  4. Blue Girl on August 18, 2021 at 11:55 pm

    Bay-sill or bay-zill? How do you say it?



  5. Sharon Godbout on August 18, 2021 at 11:55 pm

    Carrot and coriander soup! YUM! (I don’t like cilantro but the soup…… Oh my goodness!) Just saying! LOL!



  6. R H on August 18, 2021 at 11:55 pm

    Oops, I didn’t know parsley was a cool-weather herb; I could’ve planted mine out with the cilantro. I never used to eat dill but thanks to Kim, I’ve discovered they don’t taste bad with eggs! I’m also growing lemongrass for soups. I will repot it and bring it in for the winter.



  7. Shirley K on August 18, 2021 at 11:56 pm

    What size are your peat pellets? I like the size you are using. The ones l’m using are only 1" tall. Are they available on your website? Thanks🦋🦋

  10. Carol Maltsbarger on August 18, 2021 at 11:59 pm

    So helpful. Have been gardening for a few years but it seems like I always learn something new in your videos. Makes me happy!



  11. Swarupa A on August 19, 2021 at 12:01 am

  12. Gayathri Nagarajan on August 19, 2021 at 12:02 am

    We have a containee herbs garden too ita beautiful and fragrance guves lot of piece of mind..



  13. Karen Boothe * on August 19, 2021 at 12:02 am

    Greetings 🙋
    Love dill! Have a great dill dip – hollowed out bread bowl. So yummy & addicting!
    Just beginning my container garden! Just planted tomatoes and rosemary, & tomorrow, potatoes, onions, corn (thinking the corn needs to be in-ground). I’ve also discovered wild onions growing all throughout my property (my house is nestled in the woods). Just dug a couple of them up &theyre about the same size that I buy at the grocery store! YaY! I love onions…
    Next up, I’m going to try growing fruit trees from seed. Have you done this yet?
    So exciting to see your hard work grow! Fruits or veggies, of labor, lol
    Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Happy gardening! 🌱🍅🌳🌽🍃



  14. music19691000 on August 19, 2021 at 12:03 am

    Thank you for multitasking and letting us know how to harvest and plant! You are awesome at what you do! My favorite gardener❤ have learned a lot since becoming a subscriber. Thank you🌷🌻



  15. Laura Manzano on August 19, 2021 at 12:04 am

    I ordered my seed packets today. Thank you for giving us a discount. I really appreciate it. Love your videos and tips. Can’t wait to get my seeds



  16. Brian's Jersey Garden on August 19, 2021 at 12:04 am

    Great video as always and awesome videographer



  17. VianneyCreates on August 19, 2021 at 12:05 am

    Just got most of those same herbs planted over the weekend…except parsley. It is a thing of evil…ok, maybe not that bad, but I just can’t stand the taste of it! LOL!!



  18. Jeff Boelter on August 19, 2021 at 12:05 am

    Had to watch 3 times before planting.



  19. ZodiacAriesGuy on August 19, 2021 at 12:08 am

    I just read somewhere on the web,that basil is a great herb to grow in the same container as tomatoes.For one,i know that basil keeps away flies (they don`t like the smell of it).Maybe a good thing to try,because basil might let other bugs keep away from it too?Another plant that i know is good to plant together with tomatoes is calendula (not sure if they make bugs keep away from it,don`t think so-but the tomato likes its company:)
    Anyways,another great vid-luv `em all 😍👍
    Also just read that chamomile is a great companion plant to tomatoes:)
    Sorry,not quite the theme of this video,but wanted to share that with you guys-might help you out,if those plants is of interest:)



  20. JUST POTATOES on August 19, 2021 at 12:09 am

    We grow cilantro that we start seed and now blooming



  21. FreelyAshley on August 19, 2021 at 12:10 am

    Looks so fun to plant! I love your purple smart pots! Question, can I save a packet of seeds for next year? Would I need to put them in a sealed jar or in a cool dark place? Thanks kim!



  22. Mini meadows Stables schleich on August 19, 2021 at 12:12 am

    i bought a fabric raised bed the same size as the purple one you have, but for only $2 at the dollar store because i wanted to save money 😂😂😂



  23. Elizabeth Hart on August 19, 2021 at 12:15 am

    I am really wanting to start a garden but I have two littles so I don’t know if I can find time to properly garden. Plus my little boy loves to dig in dirt. But I think he would like the idea of the garden. I just don’t want him digging it up, lol! By the way I love your videos. I started watching your channel and it got me thinking, a garden would be a nice add on in my life. But yet im already so busy.



  24. Organic Gardening in North Carolina on August 19, 2021 at 12:16 am

    Thanks Kim! I’m growing a cinnamon basil this year which is really delicious. I like the red leaf basil too… just cuz it’s so pretty.
    PS. The Tomato I planted for the competition has sprouted



  25. Thunder Rolls Media on August 19, 2021 at 12:16 am

    This year planted Thai, Genoese, sweet basil.
    I have cats.. #EnuffSaid 😞



  26. marianne030 on August 19, 2021 at 12:17 am

    Are you able to include Thai basil, thai eggplants in your seed collections? 😊



  27. TheBicycleLady on August 19, 2021 at 12:19 am

    FYI Kim Cilantro can taste soapy to some people due to their genetics (found a lot with people originally from Great Britain).



  28. اشرف غالي on August 19, 2021 at 12:21 am

    🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷



  29. Nokubonga Vundla on August 19, 2021 at 12:23 am

    Planted my first batch of herbs today into pot plants. I’ll update in a few weeks. Thanks for the video 🥰



  30. Ocean on August 19, 2021 at 12:26 am

    CaliKim’s videos, books, and products are addicting.



  31. Sandra Gutierrez on August 19, 2021 at 12:26 am

    Just bought your spring seed collection and ordered Good Dirt, Vermisterra Worm tea, and Good Dirt plant food. My husband doesn’t recognize me anymore. He doesn’t know who this grower-wannabe is! Hope, I can convince him I know what I’m doing when I grow my veggies and herbs! Ha!
    Thanks for the inspiration, Kim!



  32. Helen Nelson on August 19, 2021 at 12:26 am

    Hi Calikim. thanks for showing both warm and cool weather herbs. As you know I get mixed up easily. I have 3 tomato branches in water now and am waiting for the roots to grow. They are the Roma variety. Less acidic for me. I have a fork garden now also. {to keep the cats away} Lol. Slugs and snails have had a feast, now they are no more. They had their last meal at my place. May they rest in peace. They were so prolific. I was picking up to 20 shells a day out of each bed. Ew. Wishing you and camera man well. Blessings



  33. 123fluffyg on August 19, 2021 at 12:28 am

    What am I doing wrong everytime I plant herbs they die?



  34. Carla Sanchez on August 19, 2021 at 12:30 am

    Out here in California and because of these great videos I decided to try gardening out for a try. These videos really helped simplify the concept enough for me to get it. Before gardening was a scary word and it was because I really didn’t understand it. Now Kim I live in an apartment and I am super busy. So far my baby herbs are growing and I’m so relieved and excited! Do you have any other suggestions or type of plants that I can plant? So far I got Basil, Italian Parsley, lemon Thyme, and Cilantro. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!



  35. Constance Lovejoy on August 19, 2021 at 12:32 am

    Concerned with nutrient loss in your grow bags. Better to recirculate water runoff. You are wasting a lot of nutrients. Need to practice sustainability 😊



  36. Alexandru Macedon on August 19, 2021 at 12:34 am

    90 degrees ? is that a warm temperature ? we cook things at 90 degrees lol….



  37. Ebony Bryant on August 19, 2021 at 12:35 am

    I was so glad to see this video this morning. Great way to have my cup of coffee. I ‘m having issues with growing herbs, so this is a great help. Thank you for keeping gardening fun and simple. I did have the pleasure to order a few of your seed collections. Right now I’m enjoying watching the Paris Coz and Kales grow in my container garden. And warm weather pollinators too. Thanks again for all the information to give to us gardeners. This is my 2nd garden, so I’m eager to utilize all the new found information. Stay blessed!



  38. Blue Girl on August 19, 2021 at 12:36 am

    Why do you always peel away the seed pot before planting – isn’t it biodegradable?



  39. Rick Buisson on August 19, 2021 at 12:37 am

    Here in the New Orleans area it is almost 90* every day now. It is really hard to plant herbs except for basil and mint. Of course I always have tomatoes growing. Why not plant some different types of lettece?



  40. Me and You Hello on August 19, 2021 at 12:38 am

    Gary where are you at in the comments section 🙂



  41. Mio Angel on August 19, 2021 at 12:39 am

    Lovely herbs! Thank you for all of your help!
    I have cilantro and peppermint harvesting everyday, my dill and basil are growing slow! I can’t wait to eat them too!



  42. Robin Boivie on August 19, 2021 at 12:40 am

    Great video. I’m learning so much and cant wait for the weather to warm up so I can plant outside. Im wondering if you could do a video on how to use the worm tea and other fertilizers and how to amend the soil for best results.



  43. David Williamson on August 19, 2021 at 12:40 am

    Hello how are you today I would like to say you do good videos and thank you for all the video tips on planting stuff I have my strawberries from a year ago this year I planted cucumbers peppers tomatoes and for me for the first time I’m growing the cucumbers peppers and tomatoes in my apartment

    I’ll be doing my herbs promptly, and keep this years veggie garden a on hold till after summer (don’t want that overwhelmed garden experience) I want to install a greenhouse. It’s just way too windy for outdoor garden.



  47. Gardening with Susie TLC on August 19, 2021 at 12:43 am

    Great ideas:) Love the containers:) Susie:)



  48. Cliff Warren on August 19, 2021 at 12:43 am

    I didn’t realize Dill was a cool weather herb! I’m also amazed that it survived the cold spell, but now it makes sense. My next batch will probably go in a pot. Thanks!



  49. Joey Sehlag on August 19, 2021 at 12:43 am

    I plant dill and grow it all summer long. Our temperatures hit 100+ degrees and don’t have any issues with it growing. As for it flowering, it’s not until the end of August before that happens which we’re sick of it by then. We let the butterfly larva have it for snacks. 🙂



  50. LepidLover05 on August 19, 2021 at 12:47 am

    Nice!!! 👍
    Question, how do you deal with caterpillars being on your dill and parsley???
    Are black swallowtail butterflies in your area???
