I just watched it. Seemed fine to me. Yep, I just view it now too. Very inspiring! I would love to do the pineapple, strawberries, raspberries, tomato plants, peppers, etc. Growing the corn is super cool too but can you imagine the big corn stalks inside the house? 😂 I used to grow corn in a bucket in my dorm room at college, just a couple of stalks. But most corn, and probably lots of other vegetables now are hybridized. Companies own the patents for the hybrids. So farmers cannot save seeds; they need to buy new every year. You will get whatever fruit or vegetable you planted, but it may not be the same variety. Still edible though. So cool you were able to grow corn inside a bucket in your dorm room! 😂 Did it need a lot of sunshine? I tried to save a Mandeville plant one year … brought it inside before frost and placed near a window but the winters are long in my area (6 months) and lacks the sunshine and the plant died.😞 So if I was to do these veggies inside … I wonder if I have to invest in a sun lamp too? I like the corn idea as I have not tried that yet but I did try to start garlic as shown below and it is awesome. I will be putting them in the ground this week (before May 5 :wacko: ) Patricia — I grow corn in grow bags (3 stalks each) - not hybrids either. And also a few short rows in my garden. Both produce ears but I will say the rows of corn produce more on average. I've got potatoes and green beans planted in cups on my deck. The video is nice — but it will take 3 years to grow a pineapple (I found this out when living in HI - they force grow it in 18 months). The other item is that a fresh start lemon tree will not fruit the first year — I have grown lemon trees for several years and it takes at least 1 full year from seed to fruit. I do start strawberries from a bought berry — but to be honest, I do not “pick” the seeds out. I have found it much easier to just cut the pieces up and plant them in seed starting soil. They do fine and fruit the first year. The key ingredients for most fruits and veggies is a good planting medium (compost works best - I use a horse compost mixture that our chiropractor gives us), light (some need full sun), and water. I have grown most everything at least once and if you meet these perimeters, it is pretty easy. I highly recommend if you are going to use bought seeds to get them from patriots supply or someplace like that and not from the store. :calvin Geri, I had the corn sitting right beside a large window. I remember my grandmother grew African Violets and tomato seedlings but only in certain rooms. I think they faced South. Maybe a sunlamp would be a good idea. I've never had one. In California, we are usually having droughts, so I have mostly given up on gardening. And we live on a hillside which makes it doubly difficult. I grew up in Pennsylvania. It was easy to grow anything there except for tropical plants.
