Spring had our peppers shining, but summer turned up the heat too high! 😩🌶️ Our orange bell pepper got sun-scorched, so now we’re moving our urban farm to a shadier spot. Filtering that sunlight through the trees to keep our crops cool and thriving. 🌳

How to create an earthworm compost bin, a key component for turning food scraps into nutrient-rich "worm tea" for your garden.
Steps to Create Your Earthworm Compost Bin:
1. Gather Your Materials: You'll need three Home Depot buckets.
2. Ventilation: Drill holes all around the top and sides of each bucket for ventilation. This ensures your worms can breathe.
3. Fill the First Bin: Start with food scraps, a bit of dirt, leaves, and small branches.
4. Add Worms: Introduce your earthworms to the mix. Make sure to store the bin indoors if temperatures exceed 80°F to keep the worms from drying out. (💀)
5. Nature Takes Its Course: As the worms process the food, their waste—known as "worm tea"—will drain into the bottom container, ready to fertilize your plants.
By using this method, you'll create a continuous supply of compost to boost the health of your container garden, giving back essential nutrients to the soil. I'll show the compost material in the next video. Stay tuned for more tips and tricks in our container gardening series!

Pruning for Perfect Tomatoes 🍅 Cutting off these nodes is crucial to ensure all the plant's energy goes into growing delicious fruit. Although I could really use a bag! 🌱

Did you know gardening is more than just physical work? It's also amazing for your mental health! 😊🥬
Top 3 benefits of gardening for men:
1. Reduces Stress: Gardening lowers cortisol levels, helping to alleviate stress and promote relaxation.
2. Boosts Mood: Being outdoors and working with plants can increase serotonin and dopamine levels, which can help improve mood and fight depression.
3. Great for Men’s Mental Health:
Gardening provides a productive and therapeutic outlet, offering a sense of accomplishment and improved mental well-being for men.
Btw, women benefit in these ways as well. I'm talking to the guys right now to encourage mental health among men.
Gardening is truly a healing practice for everyone! 🌿💚

If you think I'm listening to nature sounds, you'd be wrong! 😂😂😂
I listen to all types of music as I garden. What do you listen to?

No Garden??? Lil Robyn had a special request to turn part of our urban garden into her playground. As much as I love growing and sharing my homegrown veggies, nothing beats seeing my daughter’s smile. So, this weekend, I moved aside my greens and set up her bounce house. Watching her jump and laugh made every bit of effort worth it.

Straight from our urban garden to our dinner table 🍴 Today, my daughter and I picked this beautiful zucchini, grown with care right in our backyard. We're excited to chop it up and make a fresh, organic meal for our family tonight.
Gardening started as a way to bring healthy, affordable food to our table, and it's become so much more. In many Black communities, getting fresh produce isn't always easy. But by growing our own, we take control of our health and what we eat. Even if you just have a small space, you can grow something special.
It's not just about food; it's about self-sufficiency and healthier living. Let's inspire each other to grow our own and enjoy the benefits of fresh, homegrown food. 🌱
