Hi everyone. Welcome to the Kids Garden Series. A lot of you have asked for these videos and as gardeners we love to grow our own vegetables. How much more fun to bring our kids along in the process, build some great family memories and give them a love of gardening as well. I might add that this is the first Kids Series. We've never done a video series like this and frankly I think it's going to be really good. It's going to be fun. That's right. Today's video is all about gardening with kids, four ways to make it fun. And I really wish we would have started gardening when our kids were younger. Yeah, I've actually thought about that too as far as not only with our kids but even me as a child had my mom or dad gotten me into gardening and just had a garden space in our backyard. Had things been different, maybe I'd have started gardening earlier. That's right. Now we didn't have much garden space when our kids were little. We didn't know all the small space tricks that we know now. That's true. And now they're older and they don't really want to hang out with mom and dad in the garden. So we're on the road today. We are headed out to a local gardener. His name is Brian. We're going to do this series with he and his son Noah and have a lot of fun along the way. Hey, Brian. Hey, how you doing? Good. How are you? Good. Good to finally meet you in person. I feel like I've known you for four years but here we are. That's great. Yeah, it's great to meet you too. Thank you so much for letting us come. Thank you for being here. Film with your kids and everything. That's great. It's going to be a lot of fun. So have you done much gardening with your son Noah, right? And his friend? Well, not with his friend. Some off and on. But I'm looking forward to getting started in a new way maybe, learning some new things, learning to see what he likes to do. I think that'll be helpful. It'd be great to have some good family memories in the garden. Yeah, definitely. It's a great place to make them. Okay, why don't you head on back and we can show us the space. Okay, come on back. Great. So I'm excited to meet the kids, Brian. Yeah, here we go. And I love your backyard. It has a really nice tropical feel. Thank you. So pretty. Hi there. This is Noah and Kylan. Hi Noah. How are you? I'm Kim. Good. How are you? Good. Nice to meet you. And Kylan? Hi. How are you doing? Good. Are you guys excited to have your own garden space here? Yeah. That's exciting. Now tell me a little bit about, have you gardened much with your parents before, with your dad and with your parents? Sometimes. I did the beans that used to be over there. Cool. And I did, I helped grow the peas. I helped do the big gazebo thing. Wow. And your friend Kylan? I've... How about you? I've grown lots of cucumbers and pomerias, some different flowers and I've built a pond with these. Wow. So you guys already have some gardening experience? Yeah. Well, it's going to be a lot of fun. You're going to have your own space to garden in and we're going to grow some really tasty veggies. So you guys ready to go get the supplies? Yeah. All right. Let's go. All right. Excited for your new garden? Yeah. Now Brian, where do you want to get set up? I think right here is fine. Okay. Perfect. Let's dig out your new garden here. Do we just put these on the ground? Yeah. You could just put those there. Okay. So here's what we have for you guys here today. Super excited about this. First of all, you guys each get one of the kids garden seed collections. These are my special seed collections I have on my website. Thank you. Designed them just for growing with kids. We'll dig into those in just a minute. And you also get your very own garden space that we brought these wonderful purple SmartPots with my logo on them. I don't know if you guys have ever grown in SmartPots before. That's bigger. Yeah. Bigger than you expected. That's cool. Well, we're actually partnering up with SmartPots for this video, so they're supplying the containers. So you each get one. Here you go, Kylan. There's one for you and we're going to put it right over here on the grass. So we'll move the soil out of the way here so you can find a spot for that. And then Noah, we've got one here for you. They just pop right up. They're super portable. They're going to be fun and easy to grow in. That's cool. You guys like the bright colors? Yeah. Yeah, it's fun. And I also brought along a couple of smaller SmartPots, too, because we have six vegetables to plant, which means we're going to need a little bit of extra space here. So you're each going to have two of those five-gallon SmartPots. So Brian, do you think your backyard could handle a little extra gardening going on? I think so. We'll do all the better for it. Cool. This will be a lot of fun. And then we also brought some soil to fill them with. We're going to fill them with this Good Dirt Potting Mix, which is awesome soil. I don't know if you've ever grown in good dirt, but it's light and fluffy and we're going to bust it open and fill up your containers. You guys all set? Yep. So the first thing is, first way to have fun gardening with kids is make it fun. Are you guys ready to have some fun? Yes. Okay, very cool. Well, the first thing we're going to do to have fun is to fill our containers with soil. So we're going to bust open these bags of Good Dirt Potting Mix. Good Dirt was nice enough to supply us with the potting mix for our video today. So why don't you guys each grab a bag. Let's dig into it. Now these bags are really handy because they've got that handle on them. They're really light. They're a lot lighter than you think. And they're compressed so they make a nice, they don't take up a lot of space in your garage or wherever you're going to store them. So Brian, you want to bust open the bags there. Whoops, our scissors are, there we go. And we'll loosen up the soil and start pouring it in. Now when you're gardening with kids, Brian, I'm sure you can attest to this, things might get a little bit messy, right? What? Just a little bit. I don't know about you, Noah. What do you think? I think so. Everything's messy with kids, not just gardening. Right. It's true. So we don't want to like yell at them. We want to make it fun and just expect to have a mess. Things aren't going to be perfect. So Noah, what you can do, and Kylan, when you get your bag open, is you can just kind of, you can just open up your containers here and just start, you're going to have to kind of loosen the soil with your hands a little bit there. Like just pour it in? Yeah. Just kind of loosen it up, pour it in. We're going to fill up the containers with the Good Dirt. Now Good Dirt is great because it's nice and loose and fluffy, and when you're growing in a container especially, you really want to have loose soil so it doesn't get all compacted. And here in California, Brian, as you well know, it gets super hot, and this soil retains water really well, so you don't have to water quite as often. So that's one reason why I really like using Good Dirt. So I'll just pull that up for you there, Noah. Pour it in there. You're welcome. Doing a great job. This is nice, soft stuff. It is. Yeah. I love it. Doesn't it feel good? Yeah. Just busts up and it looks nice and healthy. It also has really good nutrients in it, which is really important in containers too because you want your plants to really grow healthy and strong, and the nutrients tend to drain out a lot quicker. Is that fun, getting your hands in the soil there? Yep. How you doing over there, Kylan? Good. Feels pretty good, doesn't it? Nice and moist. Oh, yeah. That's great. What seeds are we going to be planting in here? Well, we're going to be planting seeds from the kids' garden seed collection, and there are six different kinds in here. You've got carrots. We have lettuce, beans, and a sunflower, which you might need to put in another space in your garden, and peas. So it's going to be a lot of fun. We'll get more to the seeds in just a minute. Okay. Okay, guys. So I like to pre-moisten the soil whenever I plant vegetables. So Kylan, what I'm going to have you do is just put the water right there in that container, and Noah, you get to do the honors of working in the soil, making it all wet, working that moisture all in, and the reason why I like to do this, it pre-moistens the soil, and that way when you plant the seeds, then they're all ready to go, and they'll take off growing and do really well. So we're just going to work it in, and we'll fill it up with more soil once we get the water worked in. Now one of the fun things, too, about gardening with kids, and Brian, jump in wherever, is if you bring a friend along, it always makes it so much more fun. Oh yeah, definitely. In fact, Kylan's dad was my friend a long time ago, and that's when we actually started gardening together. Oh, that's awesome. So that's definitely true. Very good. And then Noah, you're going to have a friend now that you can both be growing your own vegetables with and have a lot of fun. Now what I also wanted to mention in this video for you viewers out there is that we're doing a giveaway. So we're going to be giving away one of the Purple Smart Pots and three of the Callie Kim Kids Seed Collections. So in order to enter, what you need to do is comment below, tell us something that you learned in the video, or a way that you're gardening with your kids and making it fun. And we're going to be doing the drawing on Monday, March 11th, on our live stream here on YouTube at noon Pacific time. So make sure you comment below to enter, and good luck. I hope you win. Brian, I know you say you watch my videos. How moist do we want the soil to be? What are we looking for here? We want it like crumbly brownie mix. Very good. You passed the test there. So basically, okay, Kylan, why don't we stop watering it for just a second here. Basically what we're doing is we want to get it nice and moist, but not where you have a ton of water coming out. So that might be a little bit too wet, but that's no problem because we've got lots of extra soil. We'll add in a little bit of dry soil to make it just the right consistency. Yep. Just get down in there with your hands. It's always fun to get your hands in the soil too. It feels good. I think kids need a lot more of that, getting their hands off of their phone and their devices and back into the dirt. That is so true. Now, the second point I wanted to bring out about making gardening with kids fun is to give them their own space. So you guys each here have your own little container to grow in. It's completely yours. You can take care of it, watch it grow, eventually harvest the vegetables. I think I'm kind of a type A when it comes to the garden. Everything has to be done just right. Kids don't want that. And that's going to scare them away from gardening. And I think they just want to have fun. They just want to do what they want to do. And even if it doesn't work perfectly, it doesn't matter because they're having fun and they're getting their hands in the dirt and they're getting some education at the same time. And the most important thing is to give them a love of gardening, right? Growing veggies. And hopefully guys, are you guys vegetable eaters? Yeah. I'm a fruit eater. Okay. Awesome. Well, growing your own vegetables will probably make you want to eat vegetables even more. So a lot of parents whose kids don't like vegetables have told me that this really helps their kids eat more veggies. And they taste better when you grow them anyway. That's right. Now, the third thing here about gardening and making gardening fun, which I think is really important, is to bring color into the garden, which I love. That's one reason why I love the Purple Smart Pots because they really make things pop. Kids are attracted to bright colors. And Brian, I can see you're a big fan of bright color. Yeah. A little bit. So anyway, I think that's super important and makes it a lot of fun. So we'll have fun with these containers. They actually have about three square feet of growing space in them, which I know they're round, but we measure it in square feet, so that kind of sounds funny. They're a couple of feet across, about eight inches deep, so it's going to be a perfect spot for you guys to have your own little garden. Getting a little messy there, guys, huh? Yeah. That's what makes it fun now. Yep. Brian, are you getting nervous yet? All the soil spilling all over? Are we okay? I'm going to try to relax. I think it's a little too moist. You might need some more dirt. Oh, perfect. Well, there's the dirt. Got the good dirt in there. That's why we call it good dirt, right? Ow. I love that you guys are just digging right in and just getting your hands in the soil and having a great time. Now, we're also filling up, you guys, it looks like you're well on your way, the little five-gallon black Smart Pots there, because we're going to plant some vegetables in that as well, because not all the vegetables are going to fit in the purple one. Why are they called Smart Pots? That's a good question. Actually, the fabric is breathable, so it's a special fabric that they make that all the water can drain through, and then they're smart because usually in like a plastic pot, the roots will circle around. I don't know if you've ever seen that in any of your containers. Well, these won't do that. When the roots hit the side, they kind of go the other way, and then they form like a really nice kind of root mass, and they're able to take up the water and the nutrients and not get too root-bound for their pots. Yeah. Then they can be easier on them if you have to transplant them? Exactly. Yeah, they get more water and air and nutrients in the Smart Pots. I love just getting the clumps of dirt and just smashing it in my hand. It's a good feeling while you're getting nice and dirty there. I'm going to need some more water. You guys are doing a great job there. Now, the one thing you want to remember, too, about containers, guys, and maybe you already know this, but you always want to make sure that they have drainage in them. You were asking about the Smart Pots, and that's one thing that's great about the fabric is the water will drain right out, so you don't have to poke holes or anything in the bottom for drainage. We have given you guys your own space to garden in, which is one of our second ways. We've incorporated some bright colors here, and the next thing we're going to do is add in something to the soil that's going to help the seeds grow really well. We're going to add in something called worm castings. Has anyone ever used worm castings before in your garden? Familiar with that? How about you, Brian? Yes. You have? Okay. Wait, what? What are worm castings? Anybody have any ideas? No. Or take a wild guess. Noah? I think they should put their hands in it first. Yeah, can we? Can we? Sure. Well, what are they? What do you think? Worm parts? Worms? Worm parts? Close. Worm insides. Worm food? It is worm poop. Ew. I knew it! Now, do you still want to put your hands in it? I'll do it. Okay. This is special. These are vermistera worm castings. Oh, that's so weird. It's nice and smooth, huh? And it actually adds special nutrients to the soil. Now, I'm sure you guys have dug up worms before, right? Yes. Yep. So, worms, when they're in your garden soil, they add their poop to the soil, which is really good fertilizer for the plants. So we're going to put a couple of scoops, oh, here we go, in each one of the containers. I'd say probably three or four in the big containers and two in the small containers. So I'm going to give you guys the scoop there, yep, full scoops, and then we are going to kind of work it into the soil, and I know you guys obviously like to get nice and dirty in the garden, so you're going to work that into your soil, and that way our seeds and our plants are going to grow nice and big and healthy and give you guys a lot of veggies. Now, the cool thing about worm castings also is that they add all kinds of good bacteria to your soil. Now, you know when you get a cold, that's all the bad bacteria, but you want the good bacteria to be in your soil so your plants don't get sick, and it keeps all the bugs and the pests from attacking them, too. So worm castings are great for that. And I'll link up all the supplies we're using in the video description so you know exactly where to get everything, along with some discount codes, too. Nice job, Kylan. So is it okay if I don't mix this all the way down to the bottom, or do I have to get it everywhere? Well, I think it's perfect what you're doing right there, just getting into the top, maybe four or five inches, because the vegetables we're going to be growing don't have super deep roots, so it'll be just fine what you're doing. So, yep, get right in there with your hands, mix it in. You guys know we're growing with the CaliKim Kids Seed Collection, and you can pick these up over on my website if you want to grow along with us. I have the purple SmartPots over there as well, and also the black ones. We would love to have you guys join us all in growing a kid's garden. Wouldn't that be fun if we had viewers all over the world growing kids' gardens with us? Yep. That'd be a lot of fun. So let's just go over what seeds we have in the packet. The fourth way to have fun gardening is just pick seeds that are really easy to grow, that are colorful, that you guys like to eat, hopefully, and that way you get a harvest really quickly and it keeps you really interested and having fun in the garden. So if you want to bust open your packets there, we can talk about the vegetables that we're The waterproof, resealable packets. Yes. That is awesome. That's great, because we're always getting wet and messy in the garden, too, so. Oh, that's one of my little cards there. So we've got, you guys, Noah, what's the first seed packet that you've got there? Bush beans. Okay. We've got some bush beans that are, what kind are they? Royal Burgundy. Royal Burgundy, which is going to be kind of cool, because they're actually a really pretty purple bean, so it'll be pretty with the purple containers. And what do you have in there, Kylan, after the bush beans? Rice head lettuce. The rice head lettuce. Do you guys like salads? Yeah. That has some burgundy or purple, too, right? Yes, it does. It's really pretty. It's one of my favorite kinds, because it's nice and ruffly, and it has a really pretty, like, tinged purplish leaf. What else do you got in there, Noah? Little finger carrots. Little finger carrots, and I know, Kylan, you were telling me earlier that you really like carrots, right? Mm-hmm. Okay. These ones are fun, because they're short carrots. They're only, like, maybe three or four inches long, which makes it fun for kids, because they're really easy to grow, and you can harvest them a lot quicker than you can, like, the big, long carrots. They work out really well in a container. What do you got, Kylan? Little marvel peas. Little marvel peas? Do you guys like peas? Yeah. I see you have a big, huge pea vine back there, Brian. I can tell you really like peas. I love peas. They never make it in the house, though. That's the thing. They're perfect garden snacks. Yep. They grow really fast. The little marvel peas are great, because they're really good in a container. So it's one thing, also, you want to, when you're gardening with kids, make it container-friendly if you're going to garden in a container, and make it something that will fit in the space that you have. So you can definitely garden with kids in a raised bed or in-ground garden, too, but containers just kind of make it fun. Yeah. So do we have anything else? Black oil sunflowers. Now, anybody ever grown sunflowers before? No. No? How about you, Brian? It's been a few years. Okay. Not huge ones, though. Okay. Are these big ones? These are pretty big. They grow to maybe seven feet or so tall. So they're going to be taller than you guys, but you might need to find a space in your garden to plant them. They probably would outgrow one of these containers real fast. So hopefully you have a spot where you can fit it in back here in your garden. Kylan, hopefully you have something in your garden. Yeah. They're really tall. They have a lot of seeds in them. So they can attract the birds to the sunflowers, so the birds don't peck in your garden. Or you can harvest the sunflowers and take them into the house and eat them, too. Cool. So they're kind of fun to crack open with your mouth. I never thought of that. So you've got to attract the birds away from your tomatoes with their own seed supply. Give it a go. See how it goes. There's also Easter egg radish. Easter egg radishes. Now radishes, have you guys ever eaten radishes before? I have. Okay. What do you think? Do you like them? Kind of spicy. Kind of spicy? Yeah. They might take a little bit of getting used to, but these are fun because there are a lot of bright colors. There's, I think, a red one, a pink one, a white one. So again, we're bringing in the color into the garden and making it a lot of fun. Okay. Enough talking. I think we need to get to planting seeds. Don't you think? Yeah. Okay. Which one do you plant first? Okay. Now, what I'm going to ask you guys is we're not going to be able to fit everything in the purple container. So my suggestion is to maybe choose two or three that you'd like to plant in the purple container and then plant the other two in the small black ones and then save the sunflowers to plant out in your garden later. So something to kind of think about is you want to put the taller vegetables kind of in the middle because you don't want them shading out the other vegetables that, you know, might grow in your container as well. So why don't you go through and pick out maybe three to put in each purple one. What are you going to do, Noah? Easter egg radish, Royal Burgundy bush beans, and little finger carrots. Okay. Perfect. How about you, Kylan? In my purple one, I think I'm going to put little finger carrots, little marble peas, and maybe some Easter egg radish. Perfect. So out of those, the beans is the tallest. So I would recommend putting beans in the middle. And then the next tallest would probably be the carrots and then radishes we could put maybe around the edge. Yeah. So the peas are going to be the tallest of those vegetables. And so you want to probably put those in the middle. And then the, you said carrots and? Radishes. Okay. And then the carrots. And then the radishes. The carrots will go next and the radishes around the outside edge. I've never grown little marble. Do you stake those? Are they tall enough? Or are they little bushes? Those are, I like to stake them. They grow about three feet. Okay. So that way, especially in a container, they're not going to flop over and shade out everything else. All right. So let's start with our middle vegetable first. How about that, guys? Okay. So Noah, you're going to grab the packet and same thing with you there. Now for the peas, you want to plant them. You can just kind of poke them down into the soil about an inch or so and plant them maybe two inches apart. So it's kind of fun to go in a circle, but you can do whatever pattern you like. And then we'll wait till he does that. How deep do we want them? About an inch? And I usually do about an inch or so. Inch, half an inch. You don't have to be too exact on it because they usually find their way up to the surface no matter what. Perfect. That's great, Kylan. Looks good. The soil is nice and loose, so it's easy to poke your finger down in there. Wonderful. You can just kind of poke them in about a half an inch or an inch or so. Doesn't have to be perfect because again, we're having fun here. We're not too worried about an exact pattern or if you get them exactly right or whatever. The fun thing is about peas and beans, guys, you're going to see these germinate, which means they're going to sprout and come up out of the soil pretty quickly. So the beans might take a little bit longer just because they're a warm weather vegetable. And Brian, you know, it hasn't been like super warm here. It's not. We've had a really cold winter, haven't we? I think the coldest on record, or at least in a long time. Yeah, definitely. The peas, though, they like the cool weather, so you'll probably see them come up hopefully within about three to five days, depending on where you put them. Looks great, guys. You're doing a great job. Wonderful. Yeah, Kylan, I like how you're kind of pushing it down just a little bit. That way it kind of takes out the air pockets. And you can see where they're planted. Perfect. And carrots are one of those vegetables, you don't really have to stress too much about how far apart you plant them. Once they come up, you can always go back and kind of thin them out later if you want to. Whoops, your packets are blown away there. Nice job, Noah. Do I just like do what I'm doing? Yep, it's perfect. You're doing great. It's going to be fun to see these poke their little green heads out of the soil. The carrots take a little bit longer, so you have to be kind of patient with the carrots. Sounds like you have experience, right? I do. I'm still waiting on the batch over there. Yeah, they do take a little bit of time, so keep that in mind, guys. And you also want to make sure you keep them nice and wet while they're germinating. So it's going to be your job to come out here and water these guys. So you can come over some more. Yeah, there you go. That'll be fun. Now, I think you both have radishes, too, right? Yeah. Okay. So we can kind of sprinkle those around the outer edge. Have you grown radishes, Kylan? Mm-hmm. So have you ever noticed that they sprout pretty quickly? Yeah. Mm-mm. Those are beets. So yeah, radishes, a lot of times you can harvest them in like a month or so. Dad, they look like the candy nerds. Did you mean to make that look like Pokemon? They do. They do look like the candy nerds. They look like what? The candy nerds. Oh, yeah. So do it in the exact same way. Just drop the seeds around the edge there with your seeds in one hand, and then take your finger, sprinkle them around. Very nice. Have you ever roasted radishes? I haven't, no. That's the only way I can eat them. So you bake them in the oven? I just cut them in half, toss them in olive oil, and roast them until they're crinkly. It takes all the spice out of them. They're almost like a good substitute for potatoes. Oh, wow. I'll have to try that. That sounds really good. Yeah, they are good. Okay, very nice. Very nice, Noah. Looks good, Kylan. It's going to be fun. You'll have your radishes to harvest first, and then you'll have your carrots probably within maybe six to eight weeks, maybe a little bit more. So by the time your carrots are ready, your radishes will be out of there, and they'll have a little bit more space to grow. Noah, you want to kind of sprinkle some extra soil over the top here to make sure your seeds get covered, but just a little bit. You don't need much over the radishes and the lettuce. You don't want them to be buried too deeply in there. You might want to sprinkle a little bit of soil over the top of yours, too, there, Kylan. Cover them up. Looks like you got yourself some extra little garden helpers here, Brian. Kylan, what are you doing in that container there? I'm doing price head lettuce. Oh, price head lettuce. Okay, perfect. Have you ever planted lettuce seeds before? Just pour it into your hand, and then sprinkle it over the soil. And you're doing a container of lettuce, too, right, Noah? Yeah. Now, the seeds look white, don't they? Yeah. But the lettuce is going to grow green and kind of ruffly and purplish. It's a really, really pretty lettuce. I think you guys will really like it. So, just the same way, kind of sprinkle them around. We might have a lot of lettuce in this container, but that's okay. It'll be fun. We can go in and maybe pick out some of the extra ones and thin them out as they grow. And you can totally eat the thinnings, too. Oh, yeah. That's fun. Do I put the soil over it, too? Yeah, just sprinkle it really, really lightly. You don't need much at all on lettuce. Your gardens are looking really, really good. I'm really proud of you guys. Thank you. Last thing we have to do is water. Now, we know how important watering our vegetables are, right? What happens if we don't water our gardens? They die. They don't grow. They don't grow, exactly. So, we already watered the soil, which is good. But now that we have the seeds in them, we want to make sure they have enough nutrients. So, we're going to add in some worm tea. Now, worm tea is like liquid worm poop. Your dad just told me that, actually, before we started this shot. But don't worry about it. It's going to help your vegetables grow really, really well. And the great thing about worm tea is it's nutrients that are immediately available to your vegetables. It will take off and have a really good start. You don't have to touch it. Nope. We're just going to pour it into the watering can here. I'll pour it for you guys, and your dad can help you with this later on. I'm going to pour. It's almost like a quarter of a cup. It's like three to six ounces per gallon. But what you can do here is stir it up for me. Let you stir that. And the worm tea is really nice because it's all organic, and it's not going to burn your plants. It's just going to help them grow. What you're going to have to do is come out here and check your plants to make sure they need water every couple of days. And we'll use this stuff about once a week to water your vegetables. Pour the water over your containers and make sure that it's wet, but you don't want it to be super dripping wet. And how much did you put of that? You can use three to six ounces per gallon. You really can't overdo it with the worm tea, but that's just kind of a recommended amount. That looks great, Kylan. Wonderful. And now you just have to sterilize that. Perfect. You can each take a turn with the watering can. Very nice. And it's good with the containers just because it drains out quicker to water it with the worm tea or some kind of liquid fertilizer about once a week or so. Looks good. All right, Noah, you all set for your turn here? Looks like we got a double Mickey Mouse ears, huh? Yeah. Very nice. And we'll put the links where you can get all the supplies that we're using here in the video description, so make sure you check for that. And also make sure that you subscribe because we are going to be coming back to film another video. Is that okay, Brian, if we come back and see how things grow? And by that time, you guys will hopefully be, your vegetables will be sprouting, and then we'll maybe come back a third time and do a harvest video. We want to thank SmartPots for partnering with us on this video and also Good Dirt and Vermistera for providing the supplies also. Now I hope you guys enjoyed today. Gardening with kids is so much fun. First of all, we want to make it fun, provide them with their own space. You guys like your new garden space here? Yeah. Fourth, give lots of pops of color. And fifth, easy to grow seeds that you're going to see some quick results from. So what do you guys think now that you have your own garden planted? Are you excited about it? Yeah. Yeah, I can't wait for it to start sprouting. It's going to be so much fun. That's the part I always love is coming out and checking the garden when you see those first little sprouts come through the soil. Don't you think, Brian? It's magical. It's totally magical. Every time. Brian, thank you so much for having us. This was such a ball. I'm glad you guys came. It's been fun. And I can't wait to see these start growing and get the kids involved. That's always been something I wanted to do. Oh, good. And now we have some specific ideas on how to do that. Oh, that'll be fun. Well, you have an absolutely gorgeous garden. I love your raised bed right here. I thought the color is just amazing. And your peas, wow. Thanks. So impressive, guys. Going to give a lot of credit to that, to all the rain we've had. But, yeah. Now, you also have a YouTube channel. I do. Tell us a little bit about that. It's California Garden TV. If you're interested in vegetables, which obviously you are, you wouldn't be here right now, or tropicals. Those are my two passions. And so I try to pass on about 30 years of gardening knowledge with some fun along the way. Great. It sounds like so much fun. I've watched some of your videos. You do a really great job. Thank you. And how about Instagram? Instagram, California Garden TV. And I'm fairly new to Instagram, but growing. So, yeah, check me out there. That'd be fun. Great. Well, thanks again, Brian. I really appreciate it. Awesome. Can't wait for the next time. Now, comment below. Let me know how you like gardening with your kids and any tips that you have to make it fun for them as well.
