🌱 Thinking about doing a live seed share and giveaway — would you join me?

👉Whatnot.com/user/monkeegrip

I’ve been kicking around an idea for a live seed event this month — part giveaway, part Q&A, part seed sale.
I’d be sharing some of what I’ve got in bulk right now:
🧅 Onion seeds (Walla Walla + Patterson)
🥬 Spinach + Kale
🧄 Hardneck Garlic cloves

It’d be a relaxed, fun stream where we hang out, talk gardening plans, and share seeds for the 2026 growing season.
I’m also planning to do a giveaways for viewers who hop in live.

Would you tune in for something like that?
Let me know in the comments — and if you want it to happen, drop a 🌱 emoji so I know you’re in.

🚨 New video just dropped — and this one answers a BIG question…

Can you really grow enough protein to feed a family of 4 for an entire year?
I crunched the numbers, compared yields for beans, peas, chickens, sunflower seeds, chestnuts, and even some “wild card” sources, and built a realistic, bed-by-bed plan you could actually follow.

💡 If you’ve ever wondered how much space you’d really need — or which crops pull the most weight in a self-sufficient garden — this breaks it all down.

PS: Want weekly planting reminders sent right to your phone so you never miss a crop? The first 300 to join the waitlist get it for just $1/month for life 👉 tally.so/r/waMx5b

🌱 New Project! Want weekly texts telling you what to plant — based on your garden zone?

I’m building a simple service that sends timely, zone-specific planting reminders right to your phone. No apps, no fluff — just helpful tips for what to sow, start, or transplant each week.

If that sounds like something you'd use, join the waitlist here:
👉 tally.so/r/waMx5b

This is perfect for:
✅ Raised bed & backyard gardeners
✅ Zone 5–7 growers (to start)
✅ Anyone who’s tired of missing the window to plant the good stuff

I’m starting small and launching this with help from the community — if enough people are interested, it’s happening.
Let me know if you join!

🌱 Garden Update #2 Got Off to a Slow Start… But I Think I Know Why! 🌱

Hey friends—just a quick update from me. My second garden update video didn’t perform as well as expected, and after looking into it, I think the thumbnail and title just didn’t hit right. So I’ve made some changes and reposted the video with a fresh new look that better reflects all the exciting progress in the garden this week.

If you missed it, this update includes: 🧄 Rapid garlic growth
🥔 First early potatoes planted
🌿 Sweet potato setup
🌱 New seedlings + what I’m growing next

And yes, the big parsley mistake is still in there too 😅

📺 Check out the updated version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkzu7...

Thanks so much for sticking with me as I keep learning what works best to reach more gardeners like us. Your support means the world. Let me know what you think of the new title and thumbnail!

Happy gardening! 🌻
