Creating moments and spaces for our kids to make memories is my greatest joy. We’ve been planning to surprise them with their own garden for a while now, which is why I was so excited to learn that just came out with a line of Kids’ Outdoor Tools! Made just for kids- these gardening tools really made the space feel like their own and I love seeing how excited they are to get outside and explore their creativity. Shop Fiskars Kids’ Outdoor Tools on Amazon or Target, or learn more about the full line on Fiskars.com

Omg I’m practicing patience over here lol. I am such a lover of homegrown peas and I’m chomping at the bit for them to be ready! Isn’t the taste of fresh homegrown peas so incredibly good?.

My little herb garden in my front patio makes me so happy! In this area we have, dill, cilantro, rosemary, lemon thyme, parsley, mint, and oregano. What are your favorite herbs?

This past week, I did all of my spring fertilizing for my trees that are breaking dormancy. This is a Mandarinquat wich is a mix between a kumquat and mandarin orange. They are so pretty, and are definitely on the tart side. I like to suck the juice out of them for a little immunity boost. What fruit trees do you have, or would you like to get?

Spring is here and the garden is almost fully planted! I need to figure out where the corn is going and some tomatoes but other than that we’re in the zone and it feels so good! Where are you at in your garden process?.

It’s a beautiful evening in the garden and I am out spying on my garlic and other seeds that I have direct sowed. Also, trying to get a better idea of my planting layout.

08/02/2022

I was just walking around this evening and spotted our first daffodils🙌🏻. Anybody else have bulbs coming up?.

03/02/2022

What a gorgeous day in the garden! It’s starting to feel like spring and lots of veggies are coming to life- beets, radishes, carrots, kale, squash, onions, garlic and so many others. This is where patients comes in! I’m chomping at the bit to eat some of these new exciting heirloom varieties that I’m trying for the first time this year!

29/01/2022

It’s the end of January here in LA and I planted a bunch of starts in the garden today… butternut squash, spaghetti squash, zucchini,and 2 kinds of patti pan squash…golden and white! 🌱

Omg I’m growing peanuts for my first time! Peanuts are not actually nuts, they are legumes, like lentils. They can be started from seed 5 to 8 weeks before your last frost. Plant the seed 1.5-2 inches deep, water, and put under grow lights. In about a week, they will begin to sprout and can be transplanted into the garden approximately two weeks after your last average frost date, or when the soil is between 60 and 65° 🙌🏻🥜

20/01/2022

This is the last man standing for the Brussels spouts! A gopher took down the other 4 plants 😒. I sowed some more seeds in hopes that I actually get a harvest this year! 😁🙏🏻💚 .

18/01/2022

Every year it’s on my list to make homemade hot sauce and I still haven’t done it! 2022 is gonna be my year🌶. I’d love any tips or recipe recommendations if you have them🔥.

18/01/2022

The reason that I grow most of our food from seed is because there are so many unique varieties to choose from! Things that I would never see at the nursery. I’ve ordered some really cool new things that I can wait to show you! Are you planning to try anything new in the garden this year?.

The garden is a great teacher of perspective. Take this picture for example. This shot was taken yesterday, and it doesn’t look like there’s very much happening, right? Kinda empty, not much going on? I have spent hours in here over the past few days planting seeds etc. and within several weeks it will begin to explode.
A few life reminders-.
Sometime our efforts are not seen right away, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t alive and growing. Be patient! Typically it takes time for things to germinate and produce abundantly…not just in the garden but in life.
Don’t judge what you see today as where you will be tomorrow. Sometimes growth happens in a secret place that can be dark and even hidden. Be encouraged! There are things growing inside of you and your life that are mighty and powerful. Nurture the soil of “you” so that those things sprout and shine brightly when it’s time! 👩‍🌾💚. You are loved!

Ahhhhh here come the blueberries! Blueberries is one of those fruits that have not been very successful with over the years, primarily due to heat🔥. I’m feeling hopeful this year I will gladly take any tips or tricks from those of you who have success with the blueberries💙👩‍🌾🙂.

January garden tour! I’ve been so busy direct planting our early spring crops. Are you planting anything in your garden, starting seeds or making plans (if you’re still in the snow)❄️👩‍🌾💚.

Did you know that “laying” hens stop or slow down laying eggs in the fall and winter? It’s because the daylight hours are shorter and the temperatures are colder. This signals tge hens bodies to rest. If you add light and heat for them, their egg production will be better. I do not do that, so I haven’t been getting eggs consistently for several months, but it seems like we’re back in action 🥚💙 I didn’t know this until I started keeping chickens, did you know that?

08/01/2022

It’s the beginning of January and this is what my snapdragons look like😳. I’ve never had snapdragons make it through the frost and rebloom in winter! It’s so nice to have color in the garden in the winter. What flowers will you have in your garden this year?

05/01/2022

You guys…it’s happening! For years, I’ve needed a REAL growing station and it’s finally here 🙌🏻. Now it’s time to start some seeds that are a little overdue. First up, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant! 🍅🍆🌶🫑.

03/01/2022

My final December harvest with all my summer “hold outs”. Thank you to the brave cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes and peppers that held on longer than they should have in this California winter. 😌❄️. The full garden clean out has now commenced. Time to continue planting the early spring crops. Here come the kale, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, collards, beets, radishes etc.🙌🏻💕👩‍🌾.

It’s a rainy day here in LA. Hartley and I am suited up and spent time with the chickens, played/worked a little bit in the garden and gathered a few final Pomegranate and eggs from the coop. What’s been your favorite part of the holidays so far?.

24/12/2021

Merry Christmas and happy holidays from the Bolz family! May your holidays be filled with peace. I will be praying for those who are experiencing hard circumstances this year. 🙏🏻 My heart is full of gratitude!🎄
