Well, I’d say that this is going to be a very successful jalapeño 🌶️ growing season for us here in Zone 6a 🤩

First year ever growing garlic! For a trial and error year I think we did pretty swell! Our garage smells magnificent at the moment 🥰

So what started as an “oh crap, I have an extra roma tomato plant…I can’t let it go to waste, so what the heck, I’ll plant it in the front flowerbed, wrap it with bird netting to detour the deer from eating it and we’ll see how it goes!”

I had to cut the bird netting at the top because this tomato plant be all like “HELLLLLLOOO WORLD!” 🤣

Fingers crossed, we pulled the first garlic out of the bunch we planted last fall…our first time growing garlic - might not be the biggest of bulbs, but we have cloves!! 🥰

Hello, friends! I hope this year’s gardening journey is going extremely well for you all 🥰

I am in need of your assistance and expertise!

This year has been the first year that critters didn’t devour a cabbage plant in our garden, yay!

Now, I just don’t know when is the appropriate time to harvest. Based on these pictures where I tried to include my hand as a reference, can you please help me?

I’m in Michigan Zone 6a.

Thank you all so much 😊

This is our first year growing garlic, and we’ve purposefully grown hardneck varieties in our garden here in zone 6a. Now that it’s time to harvest and use the garlic scapes, we needed to educate ourselves on exactly how to do that.

GardenerScott to the rescue 🥰

We are still looking for other recipes and ideas on how to use garlic scapes as well! Feel free to share in the comments below what y’all do with them 😊

Easy demonstration of how to harvest garlic scapes and some recommendations on how to use them in the kitchen. Garlic scapes are a delicious part of hardneck...

Jordan Marie’s favorite thing to pick and eat fresh from the garden!

This makes everything we do so worth it 🥰

JM and I took all of our extra seedlings of tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and pepper plants and distributed them to JM’s daycare and DaDa’s elementary school (State Road Elementary) as donations today.

We also went to Carlsons' Greenhouse this afternoon and got some planter pots and other goodies to help facilitate growing spaces at JM’s daycare. Between Carlsons’ generosity and support combined with Jordan Marie’s gardening expertise to share at her daycare will lead to many learning opportunities and beautiful memories will be made possible!

Support your local greenhouses and nurseries, friends! They deeply care about including children in the garden and providing them with all of the tools and knowledge they need to succeed ❤️

Overdue in planting some of our brassicas, but today was the day! Also, our garlic is still doing fantastic and our rhododendron is in full bloom 🥰

Springtime here in Michigan Zone 6a reminds us that this pivotal time continues to offer fluctuations in temperatures. It’s hard to resist planting warm weather crops that prefer not only warm air temps, but also warm soil temps like peppers and tomatoes when a few warm days arrive!

I…must…resist! 🤣

Brought the cool weather plants out for a bit to hang out in one of the raised beds inside one of the enclosures. Finally got a decent day here in MI zone 6a! 🌱 😊

Dan and Laurie continue to inspire us in our gardens 🥰

We have had a beautiful boost of new followers over the last couple of week, so I would like to WELCOME everyone, say hello and THANK YOU for choosing to follow our journey - to ALL of our followers - New and longstanding 👋🏼💚🙏

It looks like many of you are from all over the globe, which I find very EXCITING and INSPIRING.
We would LOVE it if you would drop a comment below, sharing the country you are in and what your FAVOURITE or BEST crop is that you grow or what you most DREAM of growing? 💬👇

We are Dan, Laurie (and Murphy the Border Collie) and we started growing food here in 2017, with a passion for Self Sufficiency. We are currently around 60-80% self sufficient in ALL of our food needs from our 3 acres of land in the South of England - year round. We are constantly learning new methods, trialing new crops and finding ways we can be gentler on our beautiful planet as we experience the amazing journey that is LIFE 🌟

We post fairly regularly on Facebook and Instagram, sharing whatever is inspiring us the most through the seasons, we also share 2-4 videos per month on Youtube, where we post Season and Crops specific videos, Garden TOURS and monthly VLOGS.

I'll put video links in the comments below for the videos we've shared this month and hopefully you will enjoy following our videos too.

Happy Growing Folks ✌️🌿
