Paint mixer on a drill ➳ the best nutrient mixer!

💚 we use a super concentrated solution that comes dry + we mix it with water! It’s mixed a lot to make sure it’s truly blended & the mixer makes that super easy!

👀 Guess what I use this for?!

08/25/2024

Just me + my besties 🌱

Hopefully - for real this time - lettuce will be back in 4 weeks!!!

💚Once our basil roots get super big, they take over the channels & block the water from properly draining.

This makes the water push water out the top instead & (surprise) causes water all over the place 🤪 today I harvested + pulled out the overgrown basil. She’s clean again & the newest nursery channels of lettuce are staying alive! 🤟🏼

Sometimes you have to do hard things just to remind yourself that you CAN do hard things.

13.1 at my favorite place ever to run 💚

My sweet friend reminded me yesterday that sometimes we don’t “bounce” right back. Sometimes it’s more of a climb & that’s just as great. Here for the growth in the climb 🤟🏼

Checked the greenhouse last night + half the lettuce in finishing channels have died. Turns out two out of three cooking fans are needing hefty repairs 🫠

I know it’s not the biggest deal, it can be fixed, but it’s just another set back. I’m frustrated and discouraged for sure! Continuing to be transparent with y’all 🤟🏼 Hoping to have progress made this week!

Here’s an old pic of happy Camille, bc she ain’t smiling right now fo sho 😝

08/04/2024

💚 Big deal. FULL PLANT TODAY!!! All the lettuce.

Now, it may not make it - but I feel super super hopeful! The last test crop looks really good & I’m so excited to get growing again! 🤠

Please enjoy my precious farm hands who are mad at the world bc I made them do physical labor. No ragrets ✌🏼 10/10 recommend making your kids get outside.

📣 Flowers. In. The. Ground.

What a big day!!!!! Im so excited & nervous to be honest! What if they all die 🫣 what if I fail?! I’ve been pretty anxious about this step (planting in the ground) bc it’s such a big one. Then yesterday, I had the most beautiful realization.

The only real failure would be never trying. 💚 keep trying my friends. Keep trying. 🤟🏼

Yesterday ✨

The ground was tilled, plot measured & designed. Landscape fabric rolled out & staked down & holes burned in for the flower babies.

We took a break, went to dinner & came back to do a little more! Really overwhelmed with EXCITEMENT! 🥰

Basil is thriving & I couldn’t love it more. 💚

I do have pesto available if you’re up for a farm pick up 🤟🏼🤠 and basil if you want to make your own!

A while ago, the boys and I threw seeds over a patch of land & waited to see! No w**d pulling, no maintaining outside of the sprinkler in the beginning & now we’ve got the sweetest blooms 🥰

10/10 recommend throwing flower seeds around.
