Can you hear them?

🐝 This video doesn’t do it justice. Whenever my grass starts releasing pollen, so many bees stop by. I used to be nervous they’d sting me just walking through the grass, but they’re so busy collecting pollen that they barely pay me any attention. Is your yard full of bees too? 🐝🌱 #HoneyBe

Should You Grow Tromboncino?

🌱 This is my first year growing tromboncino squash, and I’m so glad I found this variety! I chose it because it’s more resistant to squash vine borers than many summer squash varieties, grows great on a trellis, and can be used as either a summer or winter squash. I did get a few squash vine bor

I Can’t Believe I Did This Twice!

🌱 I went out to clean up my squash bed by removing leaves with powdery mildew… Then I accidentally cut out an entire squash plant. A few minutes later… I did it again. 😅 I originally planned to remove all of these plants anyway, but then I noticed I still had squash growing. I guess my

I Barely Harvested Peppers Last Year…

🌶️ I’m so proud of my pepper harvest this year! I grew all of these peppers from seed, with the exception of two plants. Last year, I barely harvested any, so seeing this basket full of peppers this season is so rewarding. I did start the seeds extremely early, so maybe that made the difference for

Harvesting My Giant Amaranth

🌿 Amaranth is grown for both its nutritious leaves and its tiny edible seeds. It’s amazing how many seeds a single plant can produce! Mine has already dropped seeds, and now I have baby amaranth plants popping up right next to it. 🌱 Do you grow amaranth in your garden, or would you like to?

Aphids Took Over!

My yard-long beans were covered in ants and aphids, so I had to suit up before washing them off! A strong spray of water is a simple way to knock aphids off the plants and help reduce their numbers. 🌱💦 #gardeningtips #YardLongBeans #Aphids #Ants #gardening

Was Hand Pollinating Worth it?

🌽 This year’s corn harvest was a huge improvement over last year, when I only harvested one tiny ear! I’m so glad I hand-pollinated because some ears still weren’t fully pollinated. Without hand pollination, I definitely wouldn’t have harvested this much. A few worms got to some of the ears,

$15,000 Quote…Built for under $350

We were quoted $15,000 for a custom aluminum pergola, $4,500 for cedar, and $3,300 for pine. 😳 So we decided to build it ourselves for under $350. 💪🌿 It took some planning and a lot of work, but seeing it finished made it all worth it. I’ll be sharing exactly how we built it in an upcoming vi

I Found The Culprit!

🌱 Plant surgery was a success! 🐛✂️ I found and removed some squash vine borers from my squash plants. If you ever have to cut into a vine to remove one, make sure to keep that area dry so it doesn’t rot while it heals. 🌱 #SquashVineBorer #Gardening #VegetableGarden #gardeningtips #s

Harvesting Echinacea 🌸🌱

🌸 Look at how beautiful this echinacea is! I planted it last summer, and this year it’s finally blooming. The pollinators love it, and I’ll be using some of it herbally too. One of the reasons echinacea is so popular is its traditional use for immune support. 🌿💕 #Echinacea #HerbalGarden #Po
