Fall Gardening Tips for Spring🍁🍂After years of gardening, I’ve learned that there are several things I need to do in the garden during fall to give me better success in the spring! Luckily, you can learn from my mistakes and be prepared to have an amazing spring garden season. Fall Garden Tips for Spring Success:🌿Save Seeds- Want to save money and be some a little more sustainable? Then take a paper bag, walk around the garden, and save the seeds. I like to use paper bags because they can finish drying out in them and are great to store them in. 🌿Clean out the beds-I chop off plants at the surface level and leave roots in the ground for nutrients. Dead growth can overwinter bed pests and diseases so you’ll want your beds free of that. 🌿Compost-This is incredibly important if you’re building the health of your soil. The compost covers the soil, and adds nutrients and organic matter back into the soil. I prefer to add compost in the fall rather than the spring because it has more time to really get those nutrients into your soil and protects the garden through the winter. Adding compost to your beds in the fall also helps provide a nice fluffy surface level for your fall seeds, such as root crops. I use @soil3organiccompost and have for years. I love the quality of their compost and I’m so excited to try out their veggie mix this fall. You can also make your own compost, but my garden is way too large for the amount of compost I make right now. 🌿Mulch-Use those free leaves on the ground to protect your beds and add organic matter to your soil! Simply drive your lawn mower over them and use the shredded leaves. 🌿Weed-It’s nice and cool out and this will save you so much time in the spring. Pests can overwinter in the weeds too. 🌿Prune Pe
Just kidding.. 75% of the time I’m a sweaty hot mess🌻
Late Summer Succession Planting🥒Succession planting is when you plant the same crop several different times during the same season to spread out the harvest. I do this with most things in my garden. If your growing season is 200 days, and it takes 60 days for a plant to produce, that is plenty of time to plant over and over for a harvest. This practice ends up rotating crops out throughout the season which helps with pests, disease, health of soil, and spreads out your harvest. For example:If I succession plant corn and the first round has finished producing, I can rip that it and plant squash in its place. Meanwhile, my first planted squash will soon die from vine boarers and my second round of succession planted corn will soon produce. It’s just rotating the plants in the garden and spreading out the harvest. Things I’m succession planting now: -Summer Squash:We all know that summer squash and quickly succumb to powdery mildew, disease, pest damage. I plant this every few weeks in different spots in the garden. -Cucumbers:Cucumbers really struggle in the heat of the summer. When it gets too hot, the plants don’t do well and the fruit will become bitter with a thick skin, sometimes mischappen. I like to start more indoors in the peak of the heat and transplant outside when temps start cooling off a little for a fall harvest. -Bush Beans:I succession plant bush beans about every few weeks during summer. The plant will produce, then I pull out ones it’s slowed down and other things go in it’s place. That gives me a little time before the next round starts producing and I have to preserve that round. -Tomato Suckers:A tomato sucker is a new plant that grows in the armpit of a tomato(off the main stem, in the armpit of a leaf node or branch. I have a reel showing this). You can take a larger sucker off of your healthy tomato plants, root them in water, and rep
Summer walks in the garden☀️. Tip: Take lots of photos and videos when the garden has bloomed so you can reminisce about its beauty in the fall and winter! Also, when the sunflowers peak and die, it’ll remind you of how beautiful they are when they aren’t crispy and dead, lol. SHARE if you love summer walks through the garden during golden hour🌟
The burn out is real🥵. SHARE if you’re feeling it too…. What are you dealing the most with this season? 👇
I needed a change👇 I didn’t feel that I was fulfilling my own purpose..I was lonely…I wanted to help others…I didn’t want my husband feeling that pressure of working so much to provide…Then God lead me to a community of women that help other reach their goals, celebrate others, uplift each other, support each other, and build friendships. I remember the first time I realized I belong here…I didn’t know how I was going to give my children a Christmas and I was dealing with some mental health battles. And didn’t believe that I could reach my goal, so they believed for me.When I got my first paycheck, it was more than enough for a blessed Christmas for my family(that’s not to say you need gifts for Christmas, but that’s not the point). When I reached that goal, they cried with me and celebrated for me. I felt seen, supported, and loved. They showed me how to set goals and believe in myself and my capability to accomplish them. Now I can help others do the same..This IS different! I run or walk with people on my team. We all have different walks of life and different goals. ✨Get out of the situation you’re in. ✨Ease life’s burdens. ✨Grow a community. ✨Find genuine connections with people who truly care about you and your success.I want to help because I know how bad I needed help.I don’t have the pressure of working a 9-5..I can be present for my family while providing for my family..I’ve build stronger friendships than I’ve ever had..I help other women and families accomplish their goals and live a healthier life…I have freedom in so many ways that I didn’t think possible…I no longer live in fear, because my faith is stronger..Granted, it takes work. All good things do. It takes time and courage. But your worth it🫶. Grit produces motivation, motivation products goals, goals produce success. Sometimes we just need those people in our corner to cheer us on a
I was broken👇 When I first started gardening, it was just a passion that the Lord put on my heart. It was right after I started learning and following Christ. But I was still trying to navigate depression and healing lifetime and generational trauma. I loved gardening then and I started learning when I could. Then I was in a car accident and my life changed. The therapy I used to use to hold my head above water was exercising. I was addicted! All of a sudden, that was gone and in its place was an immense amount of pain, deep depression, and severe anxiety. All I could do some weeks was lie in bed and cry in pain. Doctors wouldn’t listen and insisted on giving me pain killers and morphine…but I knew where that road could lead. I would cry in anxiety when my husband or kids would leave the house for fear of them getting yurt like I was. I would make excuses as to why they should go to work or school and stay in our safe bubble. It was months and years of pain and agony. I lost so much during that time. But there was light in the darkness. The time I would be cooped u in bed, hardly able to move from the pain, I’d LEARN!The Lord would guide me to learn everything I could about gardening, homesteading, the science of it, the creation, everything. I couldn’t do, so I learned for when I could. After I had surgery and many months of PT and Chiropractic, I could move around more and I learned to push through the pain to live my life. So I started a bigger garden, and I dove deeper into gardening. I haven’t stopped learning and I will always be a student to the garden and for the Lord. Gardening changed my life. It’s my therapy, my refuge, my light, my place of worship, my freedom. My garden is always GROWING me, shaping me, and teaching me GRACE. The Lord has put another passion on my heart and that is leading other to the garden for their own healing and peace. This door has opened in so many different turns over the last two year

Profit Over People in a Broken Food System💵💵. What can you do about it? Start small and start where you are! Here are some ideas: 1. Educate yourself on the dangers of specific ingredients and chemicals. When you’re shopping, you can stay away from these things. Knowledge is power! 🗯. 2. Learn to cook from scratch and buy in bulk to save money. Switch your cooking items over to non-toxic cookware. Good will and thrift stores are great places to find good deals on glassware, cast iron, stainless steel, and stoneware. 🍳🥘. 3. Switch your household products over to non-toxic items with cleaner ingredients. The wellness company is what I use for all of these things from our toothpaste, to laundry soap, to vitamins, to makeup.

SEED STARTING TIPS: PART #1🌱. This is the start of a new season, seed starting season! There are so many benefits of starting your own seeds…BUT if you’re a new gardener and the thought of this intimidates you, don’t do it. You can easily buy starts from your local nurseries! You don’t have to be a pro to have a garden, just grow the things! BENEFITS OF STARTING YOUR OWN SEEDS: -You control the environment from start to finish. -You know exactly what your plants have been in contact with or without. Examples are chemicals, pesticides, quality is soil, etc. -There are so many different varieties and options that you get to choose from. -Nurseries don’t carry everything. You can grow things that you, otherwise, may not be able to find as a seedling. -It’s much cheaper! You can buy plant starts anywhere between $1-$10 per plant. A seed packets usually cost around $2-$4 for 10-50 seeds(depending on what it is). IMPORTANT: -It’s so important to figure out your first and last frost date when your starting seeds. You can easily google it and go from there. -The back of the seed packets have good info to use when starting. -Cold hardly plants can tolerate some frost. They will have different planting and starting times. Think Spring garden, summer garden, and fall garden. -Frost tender plants cannot withstand a frost and could die if planted too soon or an unexpected late frost hits. In that case, cover with fabric or a greenhouse dome of some sort(can use a clear tote) to protect from frost. BONUS TIPS: -Write down all dates on calendar. Example: I write down my first and last frost dates. 6-8 weeks, and 10-12
