“You see that, chives, this essential aromatic that you absolutely must have in your vegetable garden”, he says on one of his TikTok videos. Currently, this 23-year-old from Drôme is one of the best-known gardeners on the Internet. He is followed by a million and a half people on social networks.
Tips and tricks for having a green thumb
Its content is simple: to give advice and tips to those for whom gardening is not their primary quality: “That’s a zucchini plan and in the month of April, it’s the ideal time to make your sowing”, he explains to his followers, as we can see in the report at the top of this article. Goran Puig is not short of ideas. Particularly when it comes to mentioning certain condiment herbs: “We will simply have to select a branch that is not in flower. On this same small branch of rosemary, we will be able to make three new plants. We cut under a node. All we have to do is install them in a special semi-soil”explains the gardener.
The young Drômois also takes the time to make videos in order to satisfy his Internet users. After seeing a comment on one of its contents – “Hello, any tips for growing carrots, it doesn’t take. Thanks for the help” -, Goran took his request into account. “The idea is to make a video on how to successfully sow carrots”, explains the young vegetable garden influencer. Before adding: “To do this, we can add compost or organic matter to the planting hole”.
