Planted in the Garden fills a tray by growing upwards
Char and Marv pair a backyard harvest with herbs dried for winter teas and cooking.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
All of this from a small backyard
Peppers come from the patio, eggplants from pots along the deck railing, and carrots and beets from raised beds in the greenhouse. By the end of "All of this from a small backyard," a wooden tray holds a remarkably varied grocery haul.
The most watched of Planted in the Garden's two new uploads has reached about 38,000 views. Its description explains the space-saving method behind the harvest: pole beans, cucumbers and cucamelons climb trellises, leaving room below for other vegetables, while movable containers add growing space. Viewers are asking practical follow-up questions about container crops, tomato varieties and pest control, alongside plenty of attention to the tray's colors.
The other upload, "Stocking up on herbs for winter teas and cooking," takes the garden beyond harvest day. Char and Marv use hanging mesh bags to dry a batch ranging from chocolate mint and tulsi to French tarragon and Guyanese fine leaf thyme. Their tip is to keep the herbs out of direct sunlight to preserve color and flavor.
Across the channel, the subscriber count held at a million while the archive and new uploads brought in roughly 1.3 million views. Daily viewing is a little below its usual level. Nearby gardening channel Huw Richards is also having a slower viewing day, while Gold Shaw Farm is drawing more than usual.
The pineapple grown in Canada remains Planted in the Garden's busiest upload right now. Next comes "This is exactly what "The Compact Garden" book is all about," another harvest built around careful spacing, with micro dwarf tomatoes and climbing beans making the small-space argument in edible form.
