    How could you possibly say that you are no good at growing things!!! You have grown such wonderfully healthy and happy children - the very best thing you could do.

      @Hailey Hedland I'd rather have a world filled with kids from this family then one from yours. However, since I've never met your children, I'll give them the benefit of doubt.

    • @RachelARBlack
      @RachelARBlack 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @Hailey Hedland I completely disagree. Her kids are being brought up as thinkers. They are encouraged to have opinions and a voice. They are being taught to be comfortable in their own skin and to be kind to others. Seems like a recipe for success in a professional world. A real professional world.
      The children are not being prepared for thug life.

    Gardening is such a great learning experience for your children! They can easily grow lettuce, kale, chard, green onions. Also, most herbs are very easy. Lemongrass should be hardy there. Rosemary and thyme are very easy.

    That salad looks wonderful. It's so nice that the kids recognize some of the herbs, and that you can use them in your own food. Yes. It would be fun to grow a little herb garden. I'd love to find those ready made falafel, if not fried. Have to loik them up. So nice to see all your great kids giggling and playing together.

    I have only recently got into gardening and what I find most exciting is researching and planting native plants local to my area. It really supports the ecosystem and native bee and butterfly species, and the awesome bonus is the native plants really thrive with a very hands off approach. You're not fighting with them, just giving them a space to do their thing.

  • @vickisainsbury7052
    @vickisainsbury7052 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    You are right Chloe, put the mint in its own pot! Basil would be a good addition if you like it with tomatoes. Don’t feel badly, you have been busy growing a family and now you can widen your knowledge with the garden as you continue to grow your lovely family. Xo

  • @lscuk2004
    @lscuk2004 3 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Dig up mint and put it in a planter with no holes then bury the planter into the herb bed it will stop it spreading everywhere (where the term like wild mint comes from as its uncontrollable and a messy)

    Mint can take over gardens but doesn’t course problems , it’s easy to thin out .

    Use the mint! Harvest and dry it and you have tea for the winter.
    There are great Apps to find out which plants you are dealing with. And dont Limit yourself to herbs! Theres so much out there to plant and grow. 🍅, cucumber, eggplants, beans, strawberries, grapes... its so much fun and doesnt require a lot of work!

Mint grows in winter in Australia! I'm soo jeaulous! But I had to think twice to be aware of that...At first I was thinking the same. 🤗

    I would consider pulling out the mint (make sure you grab the roots too otherwise it'll grow back from where you pulled it). Put half of it in its own pot (roots go in the soil) and the rest use for whatever you need/what to

    In NZ a lot of schools belong to a movement called Garden to Table the kids grow veges in the school garden then cook food produced i taught cooking and the kids loved it. At the end of the session everyone sits down at a properly laid table and eat together then do the dishes. lt is very rewarding seeing kids developing from yuk to enjoying a vast range of foods. My 9 year old has a large vege garden she is an enthusiastic gardener and cook and usually cooks dinner twice a week. It is a great skill to learn my favourite is growing berries.

  • @EllixbelliX

    Planting is easy :) herbs are like vegetables - if you buy seeds the packaging will tell you about there favorite places. For example parsley don't like to grow near dill. You can easily find a good spot if you Google for neighbour's of the plant you want to grow :)

    Did you know that you can do syrup with all that mint ? Just pour 1 L of boiling water over about 100/120 g of mint leaves, let it rest for a night, throw away the mint and add about 800g of sugar in the "minty" water and boil your syrup for 10 to 15 minutes. It makes delicious drinks ! I use about a spoon of that syrup in a 200 mL glass.
