    Today I give you a full tour of every vegetable and flower growing in my suburban garden. I begin the video sharing the size of my garden, which is 58x48. I have 23 beds that are 23 feet long and 3 feet wide. I heavily mulch my paths and use various techniques to keep the weeds out of my garden. I am gardening in zone 7a/b and I discuss why my zone is on the cusp and how I have to watch the weather closely when harvesting or I can lose crops to surprise frosts. We walk through the Spring garden where I show you my onions, herbs, sugar snap peas, cabbage, broccoli, lettuces, kales and potatoes. I share tips and tricks that I have learned over the last years that I have been learning to garden. I hope the joy that I share for gardening will inspire and encourage you to plant your own garden as well as encourage you to continue to spend time in your already established one.
    As we walk through the summer garden, I explain the varieties I am growing and the amounts that I am growing. In the summer garden I show you my sweet potatoes, peppers, squash, zucchini, basil, tenderette beans, and three different varieties of corn. I discuss the various flowers and herbs I am using to companion plant. I hope you enjoy this look into my 2023 vegetable garden.

    I can't fathom what having a friend group like this would be like. It is absolutely amazing. I hope my children can create this people group to live life together with all their siblings, spouses, and children. It would be even greater if they find some great humans that can live life with that aren't family as well. You all are so richly blessed.

    I hope you read these comments can I just tell you how wonderful and warm it makes my heart feel to see you with Justin and Rebecca. When you disappeared off of TH-cam I was hoping you were back over there at their place. Because I've been watching them before I ever knew of you. But I started watching you when you were pregnant and mowing the grass to try to have that boy stubborn boy he was. So I was already watching you when y'all went and stayed over there on their property for a while. After your house issues. I am just so extremely happy to see you with them again. Just as I was I melted my heart when they came to help you the other day couple weeks ago whatever. I'm just so grateful you have that friendship especially since the husbands were friends. That's always a hard one to maneuver around when a couple split up who gets the friends I'm so grateful you got the friends you deserve them

    How true is that we bought our hundred year old farm. I also bought three years of cow crap that was absolutely everywhere in the barn. They did not did not clean it out at all and the pole barn was completely stuffed with garbage but thankfully they did get rid of most of that before we moved in. But they left the cow crap for me and it took me like six months to clean out that barn before I can rehome neglected and abused horses.
