  2. Started your lettuce seeds the other day. The lettuce from the stores are outrageously expensive, $5.00 for a head of iceberg the size of your fist, and that’s IF they are in stock.
    Over the last year food prices went up 10% and going up 5%-7% in the new year. Making plans for changes to the garden. If I can cut back on the veggie bill then I can buy other items from the grocery store

  3. Aloha, Will finally be doing a pull out of my plants that are at it's last leg. Planted my greens and getting ready for my Asian bed. Great video

  4. You are absolutely right kim, staring a garden and keep on growing, Thank you for all your help 💚

  5. I’m in! I’m worried I’m going to over plant and crowd out things. I’ve been going a little crazy with planting! 😬

  6. I’m in! Greg and I ate a beautiful salad tonight with Arugula, Endives, Carrot greens, Cress and Beet leaves. So much fun! I never thought that I could grow these things until this past season. ❤❤
    Perk: they are all Calikim seeds! 🌱

  7. Hi Kim! I'm trying not to be too jealous for your ability to grow outside at this time of year 😁 !! I've got 10 inches of snow and more on the way. BUT! After the holidays, I DO plan to set up my shelves and lights to grow some of the indoor seeds I ordered from you! Looking forward to that! Have a wonderful holiday with your family!!
