Y’all see that grass y’all see that grass she been taking care of her grass GRE FR that’s that that’s that good water that rain water all right let me show y’all what’s going on right now and then we’re going to get into what I’m about to do today it’s just going to be

A quick video update what’s going on I actually did a prep yesterday for my fridge and maybe I add that it’s a vegan prep I don’t know if yall interested or not I’m just been eating raw foods but an update I got a lot of

Um back and forth on the soil I use right in this 8 by2 raised bed shout out to Angela again for hooking your girl up so the one bag a lot of this is like sticks hay Cedar Mulch and then I forget the name of the sauce the pink bag that

Organic bag I can’t think of the name right now if I can think of it I’ll put a picture here then I bought two bags from Costco actually I bought more than two bags I think it was three bags bag of that Miracle Grow organic something something and people was like don’t buy

That because of the company what they represent what they put in their soil nothing will grow yada yada yada and I kind of got nervous I was like oh my goodness I’ve never bought soil from Costco before so what I end up mixing it with the other organic soil if you

Remember I added my own nutrients like um some organic fertilizer some worm casting and laskan fish br fertilizer right then we block we dropped these seedlings in and then we dropped is it seedlings yeah the small Stars I’m sorry and then we dropped some seeds and it

Was like all your stuff going to die in a day or two and no ma’am it has not actually this looks really good this um eggplant that looks good that pepper these were transplants that from seed that I moved over here these passion fruit like things I topped everything

With hay they like the moisture in it’s been raining um since yest today but you know whatever but so far fingers crossed now I didn’t buy the same saw for the other bed I’ll show you in a minute but yeah this is what’s going on so everything hasn’t

Dyed they said the corn wouldn’t Sprout there you go and so everything’s starting to sprout and come through let me show you you see that that’s this is a week this is not even a whole week cuz this is Saturday right so maybe it has been a week maybe Saturday Saturday I

Don’t even remember I think it was Saturday Sunday to Saturday but anyway it’s working for me I won’t buy it probably again I’m not going to get to detail cuz I don’t want no problems with Miracle Grow but I understand after reading and researching more I’m a

Little like what on the soil and product but okay everything looks good um update on the peach tree Miss peaches is coming through she like I I’m here for you and I’m like thank you girl I’m I I just love you I love her I give her love

Every day I was out here in the rain yesterday like Miss Peaches I just need you to hold on I know the weather’s getting cool I know the wind is blowing hard I just need you to hold on to these peaches for me I woke up this morning

And she was like I got you friend I got peaches all over me and I’mma supply all your need and I was like okay girl so anyway Miss paches is here um the lemon bomb lemon bomb is coming back something eating at this stuff girl look at this

Oh well I mean some of these things got eat too so anyway me coming back lemongrass coming back I don’t even know what’s in here I can’t think I know this is a habanero and I think I’mma to put it out cuz I think it’s gone I really think it’s gone

I might let it dry out and then replant it and see what happens this is Iris that is say like a random zucchini or squash we already know that ooh y’all my grass is going to be green if you know you know if you know then you know I am

Obsessed with green grass it just makes it IRS my soul it um brings my spirit down when I come outside and my grass look like hey it bothers me the front and the back I just be so like oh my God this look so like dead and Drury but

When the grass comes it is green I just want to be outside all right we going to transplant some of this today and nothing grew in this soil this is that random cheat bag from what’s the soil called girl HB and I want to try the cheap soil so I think

What I’mma to do is mix this with some other stuff cuz there a lot of seeds in here and then put it in the big red pot so I mix it with some good soil and see if we can get something to grow cuz right now something should be in here

Strawberries popping through this is my Jasmine let me show you all these you see this it’s about to go down you see this it’s about to be so fragrant full over here this year I’m taking the Jasmine flowers I’m going to put them into either a um like a vodka or

Something like that see if I can make my own Jasmine like extract or something or well you know you you know it smell good you could make a little perfume out of it or I might do it with some oil do like a Jasmine oil it’s about to go that

Look at this whole head of kale in the grass all right so to tomato plants are tomato and broccoli broccoli and like I said this right here I don’t know why it looks like cucumber but they say it’s LOF a friend so we going to see and yeah we have uh Tomatoes

Coming it’s so crazy cuz people be like I don’t know why you plant so early cuz we eat for and we like to eat a lot that’s why I plant early and I kind of have a idea when to plant and go from there yeah I kind of got an idea now so

So I get excited when I see stuff like this here go I got a bunch of suckers in a jar in the window so yeah anyway look at this oo I’m going to do some um raw tacos today and I’mma use this right here this is Shard I’m definitely going

To use Shard look at my Peppers got a little got a little sof soof coming on look at it it’s don’t even look good right here we going to take some of this off we going to clean this up as we go today why not look at these peppers come on Peppa

Place today um the one in Rosenberg Richmond I don’t know though I don’t know I want some flowers look at these murum come on friend that’s some good spicey eat all right so the carrots are popping through I went ahead and thinned out the carrots some and I’m going to try to

Plant carrots every two weeks every two weeks I’m going try to plant carrots somewhere so we have a consistent growth of carrots since I’ve been really enjoying carrots golden bees and ginger and pineapple as a juice so yeah and they’re just in the mix of garlic and of

Course here’s my parsley I’ve been doing a lot of parsley um like salad dressings and they’ve been really good on salads with like some peppers some garlic and onion oh my God that’s so good and of course there another tomato up in here look at these Tomatoes oh y’all look good friend look

At that let me tell you when it rains honey it’s after the rain brings in all the growth and sunshine all right so I don’t know what all this is that might be car too might they got some random lettuce these are good look how good

This do look this do looks really good um for tomatoes be careful which pulling some of these suckers some of these ain’t suckers like this is in between but it really is not this has flowers like this a sucker let’s pull her but um you kind of want to get them

Suckers out between so you can get the energy to grow to the plant and not put energy in these suckers so somebody going say what’s a sucker so let me see if I can show you I’ve been pulling them every day so I might not have anything to show look

At that that little baby right there girl look at these greens I’m not even eating this stuff right now because I’m eating raw but um just know I said after 7 days I’m going to do 8020 where I’m eating raw 80% and then 20% is cooked

Food baby it’s about to be vegan City plant Bay City in the garden a bunch look at all this green look at all that look at all that and I’ve been cutting this like every day here’s some sage just drying up I just take the SAGE and

Burn it look at that this with some watermelon and some ginger look at that mint yes friend oregano some more this is actually garlic garlic is doing really good in this Tower just so y’all know the green stock Tower is doing really good with garlic these are the be

Root strawberries that’s around here and they don’t look good they just look like nothing I don’t know what’s going on if they don’t grow then we just going to drop something in there with them and maybe they’ll grow later I don’t know but um see like this

One see right here in the middle it’s a whole another plant right here you can put this in water as and it’ll have some roots and grow you a whole another plant I’m going to show you in a minute look how beautiful this tomato is like I’m

Telling y’all I am obsessed with the green sauce grow Tower like it literally went from nothing to something you see how beautiful that is nothing to something like it’s just amazing how beautiful this thing is and how much you can grow in a small space look at that

Look at that so that is my compost Basket in here I’ve been throwing all my little scraps from my juicing you see all these weeds in here it’s all good just me my soil is alive I’ll come out here and pick it I just picked all the

Weed in the front yard so I’m not ready to move to pick weeds right now these are uh radishes I saw a recipe where somebody slic them and put them in the air fryer and added olive oil some season and made like these chips out of

Them I’m about to do this as soon as they come through and these are the purple radishes too look at this lettuce I’m telling y’all lettuce don’t look like this in the store it just don’t look like this in the store look at that kale this a good eating this is a good

Eating y’all this is some good eating let me pull this some of this little old stuff out the way Dinosaur Kale look at that beauty yes come through look at her come on friend do your job you know we got some friends and some foes that be in the garden we

We welcome all the friends and this is so about so this is natural um naturally organic familyowned in T from Texas this is a potting soil now I’m going to add my own nutrients to this and dump this in here real quick and I just want to see how it feels and

If it feels like I think I saw somebody talking about this in the neighborhood if it feels good landscapers Pride all right it smell like cure that’s what it smells like just so you know it smell like it got a little uh calure in here then they do sell calure there and they

Do sell the ones that have like other stuff in it but I told them I had my own like worm casting veggie fertilizer stuff so I was really tripping and I just need to fill these things up so that’s one bag I I bought four bags I

Start I started buy six bags but um we’ll see so that’s the other soil from the pink bag that’s more expensive that they have at what’s that store girl Lowe’s that organic bag but look at all these pieces that are in here see that’s what kills me and it said rais bed something

Something whatever right and I don’t know that look dark and Rich this is expensive and look at the stuff that’s in it this not the one from Costco it’s the other one the pink bag y’all like um whatever I got still got to fill these up oh Helen you got some

Work to do for now I’m not trying to fill this up to the top we already know that yall know I’m not I’m not about that life but I still need like two more bags I do um yeah cuz I’mma put something in here

That want it grow fill it up with um hay anyway but I definitely need look I got my basket in here yall know I got my basket for my compost yeah maybe three bags I need a lot of bags I like this soil so far we’ll see how it drains and

How it goes but uh it looks Rich you see that um I’m just so happy my stuff is growing y’all had me like what I mean I was researching and reading almost in tears like Lord please don’t let me fill this thing up and my food don’t grow and

Everything die you know what I’m saying but anyway I did mix paralite in here with that and I did um you know to help with drainers but I’ve been putting my compost stuff in here but this what it looks like is this ants it’s thick it look like it’s ants in

Here um where do they go yeah that’s right here I wonder what is that oh well we got cayenne pepper we going to put some cayenne pepper in here what you not going to do yeah I see little ants o see them look can y’all see

That okay let’s go get some and put that in there and is it everywhere or just over there yep okay it’s not everywhere but it’s like all right here so we going to get something put in there but we won’t be buying that soil again I know that

Much yeah all right so this looks amazing if I must say so myself okay so we’re going to go get some more um stuff to put down keep away I don’t even think that’s ants what is that creepy crawler stuff I don’t know what that is but we

Going to figure it out before my stuff die cuz now y’all got me nervous and then we’re going to um get some more um soil um for those beds all right let’s close the fence cuz if Journey come out here she going to run out and scare everybody in the

Neighborhood all right they don’t really um they don’t really care for me to film in here so I’mma show you what’s in here though so if you’re ever in the area uh in it’s like Sienna Missouri city um what is this one called this one’s called my spice grocery but

Anyway I’ll show you what’s in here so I get the spices though like chili powder or this stuff be hot so the redder it is the hotter it is and I put that in the garden to keep those um bugs away I have cumin clothes which is really good in

Tea girl let me get a basket oh my God didn’t come for this tumer powder I don’t think I need any tumeric I wonder if this camera’s dirty probably is all right toric I like buying this stuff by the bag y’all Cor Ander nutmeg that’s where I

Buy my nutmeg from when people ask me about my nutmeg that’s where I get it from and I just gr it they got poppy seeds whole black pepper clove is good for you especially for like your hair or in tea just so you know see look at this extra

Hot okay let me grab the stuff I need all right this is cinnamon powder um here the sticks we put in the tea it’s $4.99 for this bag and star n y know I use this in my f dryed gender which is good too F and F I

Have the chili flakes which I put around ants in the garden I really don’t need this right now so I better not get this I don’t need it right now I just need to get this extra hot powder and some flakes for around the um what do you call it well I’ll

Just use this around the ant bed they have the whole chilies this is good if you want to make like a roasted salsa make it spicy you see all this that’s why that’s why I love the store I’m obsessed somebody asked me before with me adding

Cyne and pepper to like the garden do I taste like a difference in the you know like fruits and vegetables and I don’t think so um no I don’t even know I don’t think so though I don’t think it makes a difference I think it just does its job

And then it’s done it’s not like it adds seasoning or spice to like the growth of the food I don’t think I don’t know I haven’t had that experience but oh my hand hurt um oh girl we got to get gas and we got to get some more bags of soil

All right hopefully that’s better all right so sorry I keep forgetting I have this thing up here but sometimes it holds cam the camera and sometime it doesn’t but anyway I am going to go through the box today see what seeds we’re going to put in that um 8 by

Two it’s not a trle I get that from chistopher uh Garden raised garden there right I know it’s going to rain today I don’t know how hard aware but I kind of feel like going to the garden place and picking up some transplants only because

I need to call them first because I feel like the they have the best like purple ho peas and like some just different um transplants that you don’t find right and I feel like I know I’m not behind schedule but I feel like I’m behind schedule when it com to planting

Certain foods and other people going to be like girl it’s not even time like you do that like we used to do it on Good Friday remember years ago I used a plant on Good Friday and it would seemed like summer would come so quick and all my

Food was just bulk quick and we didn’t really get as much as we used to get and now I feel like I plant early I get a huge abundance of food but when I plant early I find myself having to secession plant and plant often so that as plants

Are growing and determined plants have you know produced what they can produce and they’re done then it’s time to hurry up and plant more in between that time so food can continuously to grow so this year I’ve done the whole scheduling I’m doing carrots every two weeks I’m dropping carrots every two

Three weeks right I am dropping zucchini I’m trying to make sure that every time something grows I pick it I’m not trying to leave it on the plant to get large and the past I would like leave zucchini and squash cuz I wanted it to be bigger

Plants right but I noticed that in doing that my plants would die out on me sooner or attract bugs or something but if I keep like with the Cucumbers keep with the zucchini those type of like vegetables then my plants lasted longer like my cucumbers has never last this long ever

In life that I’ve been growing cucumbers until this last year and as soon as you let one turn yellow go to seed or whatever it is it tells the plant hey I’m done growing it’s time for me to die I’ve done my job so I’m going to just

Start getting these zucchinis young and we’re going to eat them small instead of me trying to get them big and juicy and big and I used to want all these big huge vegetables and it yeah we could just get a abundance of small vegetables and it’s good as long as I’m eating

Vegetables every day anyway I’m good so that’s what I’m going to do um somebody’s texting me so I’m going to go ahead and pick up some soil real quick from the the feed store get some gas girl I just still still don’t like pumping gas and head back to the house and it

Looks so dreary out here and I hope you all are have an amazing day I have another video coming soon of me prepping my fridge with a bunch of raw fruits and vegetables and then some prep ideas for eating like high raw or whatever I just finished eating an overnight oats which

Was so good it was just oatmeal with Chia seeds some almond milk and I had a little bit of date syrup and some almond butter in it I sat it on the counter for like 2 hours just to so it when be cold I don’t

Like cold cold food I like hot food so so it could be like room temperature and I just demolished that thing man that was good like everything does have to be cooked like some foods can be really good and tasty without being cooked so anyway all right I think it’s about to

Rain but anyway I don’t care because it’s just gonna go through it ain’t like it’s coming out the bottom but y’all this right here really probably should have gloves on but y’all know me I’mma go ahead and R all this off the top sprinkle this on then put it back on and

When I say I can smell this right here I can smell it so anyway let me just take this off right quick disturb all these little bugs that’s going on right here and do what it do when I tell you I’m about to sneeze listen R have it on my food that’s what

We not going to do okay I’mma leave this like this and then I’ll cover I got a whole bag of haze I ain’t tripping um we got some ants over here let me show you I bought two of these bags cuz they so good and

Spicy so see this ant bed I just put a little bit on top and they about to die oo they are going crazy my whole flesh is crawling go move around go move around all right let make sure no more ants in the garden before I put this bag up and

I had to put this up like in a zipl bag or in a container in the back of the pantry because child one day we had this in a a Gass jar we was confused and we put this in some lentils baby we went to biting them

Lentils and all of us was like oh my God oh my God and I was like oh my goodness so anyway anyway I’m put some at the end just case they try to crawl down here don’t don’t even try it friend don’t try all right all right let’s make

Sure there’s no more ants I know one of these had ants one time so let me just take a peek in here make sure Ain nothing down here I know y’all be like y’all just be fussing Me by wearing gloves I don’t know why I like to play CLE dirt but I

There think we’re good over here so anyway somebody told me hold on somebody told me to like cut this off right here and that it would produce more of this let me just cut it and see now they claim if I cut it it’ll produce more broccoli it’ll stop the flowering

Smell good and look good like I can tell the difference in smell and these soils and I’m going to see how compacted this get I’m going to add some nutrients real quick and then either plant it out today or tomorrow but I want to go get some

Some stars and then seeds like starts and seeds like I did the other one I want to mixture of both I don’t want to just do all seeds in this thing I like to you know I told you it’s session I like to have stuff keep going so what we gonna do

I don’t even see them now oh I see like one or two they look like little ants that’s carrying something I don’t know but okay let’s just mix it in so we’ll make sure let’s just make sure it’s all in here kind of mixed in good not just

Sitting on top but you know this I ain’t trying to disturb these um roots and stuff but I don’t see n on this side all right we’ll keep checking every day we’ll just keep checking and see what happen I see this corn is too close together I see that already so once this

Corn Sprout we’ll just move this corn once it get bigger I do have these plants over here that’s I don’t think it’s big enough to put in that um thing over there let me see this one might take off hold on this one might be big enough I might can

Just pop this one in there pop these like as a wh sale but I don’t really want to um yeah I don’t know yeah I don’t even know what kind of tomato this is I wrote them down though it’s written down on my journal so in order so I

Would know all right let’s go inside child I be hungry when I’m eating right child I be I don’t nobody nobody oh my God so I bought what 12 yesterday 12 this morning that’s okay that’s okay when I say they be eating child my children be eating all right friend we

Got to get this video up for y’all lat too cuz it’s a beautiful day not really but it’s kind of ugly outside but yall know what I mean I I can’t that one needs to be uh sharpen or something oh it’s going that night about all the same knives they’re

The H H whatever you call they’re same knives but one dogs can have mango cuz that that Journey eats everything all right so I don’t know if y can hear that TV in the other room that’s I have let the farmer on in the background I don’t

Know if yall can hear him um I don’t think he can but anyway I’m about to take these pills real quick and then we’re going to see what we’re going to do so I got my mangoes and this girl my thumb is aching I just put some um

Medicinal honey on here and kind of like I know it hurt but I am going to of course take my good health um probiotics as prebiotics and to I believe my sea moss and this is empty the Black Sea doll let me see if I have another one oh

Please all right so I had another one try to keep these on stock I actually just ordered some more seamoss too so it should be in the mail but anyway and I’m going have a little bit of some almond butter when those clearance finds girl I’m tell this stuff right here is so

Good all good I like it with my um oranges but anyway where are we growing thank you some more sea moss right on time all right that’s funny all right so we’re going to do the melons the um gray melon over there I’m going try to find at

Least three or four unique starts from that Garden Center I like to go to and then we don’t need any more Tomatoes we got have tomatoes let’s see what they look Alik these are from the what do you call those suckers these are from the suckers so some of these actually

Have um let’s take this off just put them in water do this have flowers on it some of this need to come off though cuz I’m have to plant this pretty deep if I plant them but I don’t need any more Tomatoes like at all I’m not buying no tomatoes friend

None because I this one not going to grow that don’t look that great because I have all these this was actually a sucker can’t believe this and all this you see those fine hairs all that’s can be rooted so going to put this back and

Some clean water it’s a good one too and then these will eventually be planted in the garden like I did last year that’s why I end up with so many had so many tomatoes because I would just every time we would get like really good nice thick

Suckers I would just plant them so I need to grab just probably a few more and that’s it you know that kind of helps with like sucession planting too having some look at my little teacup ain’t it cute um to keep growing I just need to

Put some water in here need to put this in a bigger glass we’ll do that okay we’ll do that anyway so we’re going to do the melon like we said we’re going to do we’re going to grow melon we’re going to grow a few Tomatoes at least three or

Four plants of something unique and then we need to come up with like six more things cuz that’s 8 by two so 8 by two gives us 16 Plants we can grow a decent size plants if we’re growing square foot garden if we’re putting FL around a

Little small like I don’t know what you call those like radish even carrots can grow in between like plants you know what I’m saying so someone asked where we get these from I know you’ve seen a million of us with these I have two of these this is the

One with the seeds I order online right the heirloom seed company and then the other ones like more of like seeds from like Dollar Tree Dollar General Walmart Lowe’s kind of thing so we’re definitely going to put flowers cuz we put flowers in everything that we grow and we will

Do um like a Aster mix is there some in here if this is what it says Aster we’ll do that around the what they have some more Moon flowers I didn’t know I had two packs of moon flowers so we’ll do the aster mix which is really pretty like a colorful like

Mix I probably want to do any herbs because between inside and those Towers I don’t need no herbs but I I probably need some to deter bugs right so we have to put something if we’re doing Tomatoes we’ll do some basil and this is the I think

It’s geneveve basil we’ll go ahead and put that in and then we’ll add no Soro cuz it’s going to be too hot that air is too hot over there that’s full complete full sa I don’t want that that’s going to take too long all right so then we

Have carrots of course and so we’ll use these carrots oh I got some mixed in here I think this was supposed to go into my gardening book you know like to staple what I’m growing so I think that’s why I put that in there so let’s

Go ahead and grow some carrots we have some I don’t know what this is it’s 70 something days red carrots rainbow carrot let’s do rainbow carrot cuz it says 60 days we’ll do some rainbow carrots and then we’ll do once we planting thing I’m just going to

Leave it alone they have some brilliant carrots who is they they is me okay I hate when people say they they it’s me it’s me I have little fingers this is probably empty cuz I have dropped all the little fingers I think I have this is probably empty let

Me put that in my garden um Journal borish I have this actually growing in my tower over here they’re so pretty and it it’s a really nice beautiful flower but it’s also medicinal beneficial for you if you put in a tee okay so this is Florence onion the red long Florence

Onion we put that in there I don’t even know when we’re supposed to put it in there but we’re going to put this in there and this is a giant Lea no this Tes like 150 days that’s like halfy year child I’m not doing that a little bit

Less than half year we’re not doing that look at the other box this one don’t have back in it where’s all the seeds hold on y’all I think I’m going to go online and order something from is it in I Gardener or my gardener I bet it’s in my I keep

Saying my Gardener but I bet it’s in my Gardener I’m going to go in there and order some rare seeds cuz I still have those pots and I still have those grow bags and then as I pull stuff out like when those greens come out cuz I don’t

Think I’m going to cut them back to keep growing them well I I will shade my garden when it gets hot y’all know I shade my garden what carrots do we have colorful carrots to ton of carrots girl juice carots like I’m going say every other day it’s the easiest thing to juice

So I feel like we need I feel like we need more flowers and I feel like we need more squash zucchini like that kind of stuff okay so bok choy I don’t have any bok choy growing and the reason why is because see this is January through

April is because bok choy bolts on us so fast so I’m going to drop bok choy which is like the kid favorite like green they eat this and everything they sfy this thing they throw this stuff in in the air fryer and eat it like I eat K

Chips I don’t even know where it got there from but I had never done that before when I saw them do it I was like what are you doing I was like oh okay so we don’t need Shard cuz this the season going to go by so fast and I said

Flowers right cuz we have to do some kind of pollinating look how pretty these morning glories are Maybe has some spilling over and Vining across the thing and maybe we’ll do these teddy bear sunflowers which is one of my favorites and we’ll do that around the Border or something no zenas we have

Enough zenas and we’ll do some sunflowers right like the large like the red velvet ones I don’t know where they are but I dropped okra already so they’re already sprouting and I’m telling you when oprra grows girl it grows like trees over here so Tomatoes beans spinach

Can’t grow spinach but we can grow some more radish so when that radish comes up we’ll drop some more of these so let’s just drop these in there I’ve never grown these this one right here the little longer ones we always grow the little cheapies like this but I’m I’m I

Want to try those purple ones in chips like they said like air fry them with olive oil and stuff lay them flat or you can put them in the oven kind of like that way on a um Laura setting or something this is the sunl I’m what is

In here these these were gifted to me last year they were so pretty so these are the ones I’m putting there so so far I have I’m going to buy three or four plants right I’m going to do the melon on the side we’re going to do a

Few sunflowers just they just are tall so they won’t even and the roots of these are very like shallow they don’t get really big like the mammoth or anything like the like a tree they’re just really like a few of the in a row some sunflowers here and there morning

Gr a Vine and they’re just like one little and then the rest kind like flow over the I want it to flow over the the bed I know y’all know what I’m talking about a row of of Bak Choy and then of course these two rows of carrots

Carrots bunch and onions or the red onions rather and then the aster mix this is not going to even fill up that thing it’s really not but whatever that’s what we’re doing all right so I’m about to eat my snack it is already 2:00 let’s

See if we can get this video for y’all before like 4 and yeah I hope you having an amazing day oh we’re missing Peppers we’re missing Peppers we’re missing Peppers all right so the peppers I have that are seated I’m going to go ahead and take them out that thing and put

Them over there I think we’re missing Peppers that’s what it was I wanted to put peppers over there so maybe I won’t go buy find new plants I have a bunch of these pepper seeds but I’ve already had them I just Dro those that’s going when

It’s time that’s what I’m going to do that’s in that those little seed pot things Maro lettuce everything’s mixed up this thing is supposed to be in here these are the ones someone asked me where I put them so I have like envelopes like these that you could put

Seeds in and label them from Amazon I’ll link it down below and then I have a bunch of these poly packs like this once they dry you can PR season these yeah but those teddy bear sunflower those teddy bear sunflowers are so freaking pretty yes and the maros are pretty too

But anyway we don’t have no maros over there right we need maros for the tomatoes so let’s put maros around at least one little area my maros get big so I got to be careful with them I’m going use the African maros some not going to put a lot of

That just a little bit I’m not planing cantaloup this year cuz cantaloupe took over we going we going to sub to for melon okay Kell took over the whole wall last year we are not doing that again this year so I can’t wait to plain these and see them start

To grow there’s some seeds right here and then um come back and share with you all so I hope you enjoyed this video of the rambling and the randomness or whatever and yeah I just want to encourage someone to grow your own food I just

Watch the video is it the uh Mr Mrs H and basically she was saying seeds won’t save your friend if you don’t know how to plant them you don’t know how to grow food you don’t a’t know where to start just having collecting seeds not going

To save you like you got to get started somewhere get you a green sock grow Tower get you some grow bags a little bit of soil just start somewhere get you a podt get you a jar and throw it in a window with some herbs like start

Somewhere take your scraps and and turn them into food like start somewhere start small and gradually add on I mean my garden is grown so much just from starting small so hope you have an amazing day peace and blessing

  1. Hi, Helen I’m sorry about the Miracle Grow soil! I bought 4 bags from Costco and I’m only using it for flowers! I am using other soil for the veggies.

  2. Girl you definitely be gardening, it all looks so lush! That good ol Texas rain!! Houston has the best garden centers…I definitely need to come check them out. Thx 4 sharing!

  3. I’ve used that soil a couple years ago and filled all my beds and I didn’t have any issues either. I haven’t purchased it again either but my stuff didn’t die. Your garden is flourishing well. It’s MI for Michigan so MIGardner. Thanks for sharing!!!

  4. Helen your garden looks so alive and beautiful ❤.
    If you are concerned about your cool weather plants bolting in the heat….how about using your indoor hydroponic units for growing smaller varieties of these types of plants.

  5. Your garden is looking really good. Great content. Ms. Peaches is doing her thang. I cant wait to see the video with Swiss Chard.😊

  7. Hey Helena, the GreenStalk is talking to me 😂. Loving the random volunteer kale in the yard. Where did you get the new potting soil? Was it JJ ‘s ? I’m looking for the best deals on soil. Thanks

  8. Blessings Ms H, love love love your garden efforts. You rock! Belinda the Banana is a heavy Nitrogen Feeder…she also craze moist soil.just FYI…

  9. I tried to plant a garden last year, and I did succeed, but I am trying again this year. I planted four small pots, and I put them in my house under my plant grow light, and within 5 days, it's see a starting to sprout, the one I planted outside not doing anything yet, but it all good it haven't even been a week yet. I use the Dollar Tree seed and pots…

  10. 🐞🐞Ladybug be singing, “I just eat aphids and mind my business. I just eat aphids and mind my business.” 🐞🐞

  11. Say that again! 😂 I ran out to my garden after that thunderstorm storm to check on my little peaches. We have another one coming Sunday. My nerves bad! Lol

  12. Come on now Helen! ❤ Sis you need your own little homestead, FRFR Everything in your back yard looks sooo beautiful. There's gonna be some good harvesting for 2024. Yessssss!! Chile, I would be fraulekin in that plush green grass. Just beautiful. How is things going with the gorgeous Journey! Helen, keep doing what your doing 🙏🏽 I just purchased a nice size plastic. Kitchen scoop shovel that has holes in it. So I can sift the soil I buy for my garden. I'll send you a picture of it. Dollar tree has them. The dark soil looks vibrant , healthy, and beautiful! I buy or grow a lot of my fresh herbs, and chili peppers. Dehydrate them all and grind them up for my seasonings.Yez, I love Mrs. and Mr. H been watching them for years ❤ Lead Farmer 73 is another amazing YouTube channel to watch!!!

  13. LOL! Ms Peaches yesssss! I love when you say "I don't know what's in there", we are definitively going to find out in a couple of weeks . We all be so excited for you! yess girl HHahahahah

  14. Heyllo Helen wassup…I just love a the things in your garden…I got some bad awful soil from Aldi last year and I will never by that brand ever again. Mine didnt look nothing like the bag you showed from Aldi's I guess they switched the mix up. I would never buy it again

  15. Pinky in one of 2 hibiscus trees that I currently have and in Jan we to be reset Pinky back in the ground cause some hurricaine like winds came last year and blew her out the ground and exposed her roots We had to fix her up and build her back deeper in the grounded space I had to remove all her leaves and flowers Pinky is sooo bare over there I walked to her yesterday and babay baby PINKY is getting her leaves back I said look at you PINKY…I had to call my hubby over to PINKY and give him a show…GIRL yes I sing and dance for my green family members…Plants love the energy I give I walk in peace

  16. Right, the soil is not the best but talking about your stuff won’t grow is wild. In some of the planting fb groups I always tell people their growing issues are more likely a “grower error” than that a product killed your seedlings. 🙄

  17. As far as the zucchini yes my dad used to tell me all the time to pick it and I thought it always too small…

    if my tomatoes plants are small and have flowers I still take them off so it can get taller. But if you want some early tomatoes and some later ones you can keep the flowers on some.

  18. Helen I am down for what ever content you wish to share I been eating plant base for five years now so yes I love everything vegan you decide to share. I love your amazing videos. Have a great day

  19. Hey friend! I’ve used nothing but the Costco soil for the last two years. This will be year 3. It has worked for me. I guess I need to look into what the issue is supposed to be with it. 🤷🏽‍♀️ And yes, the garden is giving! I need to get with my grass. I don’t have any in the back but the front needs some serious attention. 💜 My backyard is full of potted fruit trees and raised garden beds! 😭🤗😭😭😭🤪💜. I planted some seedlings I started out from seed too soon. The bugs are bugging over here! I’m letting my others size up a bit before putting them out.🧐😩 Where did the soil come from. The pink bag is Kelloggs I believe.

  20. Hello I’m a new subbie, I have the same Costco soil and I’m pleased with it. I had germination within days. My Costco is sold out of the soil for the season, so it must be good.😊
