Box 3B is a great example of companion planting at work! The cucumbers climb the center trellis, making the most of vertical space while allowing plenty of light and airflow. Green beans are tucked alongside them, helping maximize production in the bed while their roots naturally add nitrogen to the soil.
German chamomile is attracting beneficial pollinators and predatory insects that help keep garden pests in check. Catmint adds even more pollinator power, drawing bees and other helpful insects while its fragrant foliage can help confuse some pests. Towering sunflowers at the ends of the bed provide beauty, attract pollinators, and create a living habitat for beneficial insects throughout the season.
Together, these plants create a small ecosystem where each contributes something valuable. Food, flowers, pollinator support, soil health, or pest management. That's the beauty of companion planting. Plants growing in harmony, helping one another thrive while making the garden more productive and resilient.

I'm so excited that this new experiment that I'm trying is going in the right direction. I've just always thrown away the suckers I removed from my and indeterminate tomatoes, but this time I thought I would go ahead and just stick it in the ground and see what happens. While it survived and is rooting and it's getting tall. I'm excited to see where it's at in a month.

After many harvests from my cilantro patch, the summer heat finally caused the plants to bolt and go to seed. Cilantro isn't a fan of the heat and thrives in cool weather, so once temperatures rise, it naturally shifts its energy from producing leaves to producing seeds, what we know as coriander.
While coriander is usually harvested when the seeds have fully dried and turned tan, I harvested mine while they were still green and was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of seeds the plants produced. Green coriander seeds have a bright, citrusy flavor that's completely different from the warm, earthy spice we're familiar with from dried coriander.
Removing all those tiny seeds from the stems was definitely a labor of love and a surprisingly tedious job, but the reward was worth it. Now I have a beautiful harvest to freeze and enjoy in cooking, where they add a fresh burst of flavor to salsas, marinades, curries, pickles, and vegetable dishes. It's a wonderful reminder that even when a cilantro plant reaches the end of its life cycle, it still has one more delicious gift to give.

A good rain is a blessing in the garden, but sometimes those heavy downpours leave our flowers and vegetables bent, leaning, or flat on the ground. 🌧️🌿
That's where a few simple stakes can make all the difference. Supporting plants helps keep blooms looking beautiful, prevents stems from breaking, improves airflow, and keeps vegetables clean and easier to harvest. A little support now can save a lot of damage later and help your garden stay healthy and productive all season long.

I harvested my garlic a little earlier because I didn't really think it out when I planted them in fall using my garden boxes which are good real estate for my summer crops. Next year they'll go into the ground. I need to get my sweet potatoes in, the garlic is ready and is not going to get much bigger. What an awesome harvest for my husband and I!

Have to keep an eye on your brassica because those cabbage worms will take them out fast. You see those little white moths flying around your garden with a single black dot on their wings? Those are cabbage moths. They are bad. They are not butterflies so don't get them confused. They're a moth.

Our babies are growing up. It sure doesn't take long. So they now are going to be in this space until we can bring them together with the other chickens. But for now they'll get to look at each other and get used to each other. They're so precious!!

A little reminder that flowers aren't just pretty. They nourish the soul too. One of my favorite simple joys is gathering blooms from the garden and creating little wild bouquets for our home. They bring so much peace, beauty, and happiness into everyday life. Support your local farmers when you can, It truly makes a difference.

Sharing my current garden situation. I had to try and go through this fast. I didn't show every box because this video would turn into a movie. 😆 There is still so much more!!

Part 3 of growing potatoes in bags. I'm super late and don't feel confident that they will produce an abundance of potatoes as I hope. But nature is resilient. All I can do is give them a little prayer. Last year we were very successful doing this method. The only thing I've changed is doing full potting soil versus a mixture of garden box soil. 🙏
