{LEAF MULCH

💥Leave the leaves! Shred them using your lawnmower, a leaf shredder, or even a weedeater.

Easy mulch for your garden, and a simple, sustainable practice.

We have used all of these methods, but just got this Leaf Shredder/Chipper because we get soooo many leaves.

We decided it would be a good investment for us especially as we get older it makes it much easier.

{MILKWEED SEEDS Anyone else? 🧐I just learne

{MILKWEED SEEDS

Anyone else?

🧐I just learned….

The fluffy stuff on Swamp Milkweed seeds is called silk. This silk is a natural fibrous material attached to the seeds, which helps them disperse in the wind.

The fluffy silk acts like a parachute, allowing the seeds to be carried over long distances, aiding in the plant’s reproduction by spreading its seeds to new areas. This is similar to the fluff found on dandelion seeds or cottonwood trees.

The silk on swamp milkweed seeds is very lightweight, which makes it perfect for wind dispersal, ensuring the seeds have a better chance of establishing new plants in different locations.

how cool is that?!

I’ve been eyeing kitchen composters for the past

I’ve been eyeing kitchen composters for the past year. I’m so thankful I was able to finally give it a try thanks to @vego_composter sending me one to try out

If you’re like me and want a simple, eco-friendly way to reduce waste, this is a total game changer.
Composting shouldn’t be complicated, and the Vego composter makes it easy to turn kitchen scraps into a soil amendendment called “Vego Meal” with minimal effort. It’s practical, efficient, and feels great to be part of the solution.

I especially think this composter would be great for people that live in urban neighborhoods or are urban gardeners because of their lack of space.

Have you tried this one? What did you think?

And if you’d like a link plus comment with the word “COMPOST” in the comments and I’ll send the link right to your DMs.

The composter is on a Black Friday sale at 50% off right now and my coupon CODE: MICHELLESGARDENGROWS10OFF will take another $10 off the already 50% off sale price.

🌟Ever feel like you’re juggling too many hats

🌟Ever feel like you’re juggling too many hats (roles) in the garden & in life?

I’m definitely juggling more than five hats in life probably more like 20+…Wife, Mom to college students, wife of a pastor, gardener, ministry leader, social media manager, & much more!

🌱 In the garden and in life, I often find myself wearing too many hats! It can feel overwhelming at times. If you’re juggling too many roles, remember to take a step back and prioritize. Delegate where you can, embrace the art of saying no, and don’t forget to carve out time for self-care.

Let’s find balance together! What hats do you wear? 🌼

Great day for up! Here’s a look at one of our four DIY cattle panel trellises.

🫘Green Beans
🍅Tomatoes (indeterminate)
🥒Cucumbers
🫛Snap Peas
🧽Loofah Gourds
🌸Sweet Peas

Cattle fence panel trellises are the perfect affordable solution for vertical gardening and makes harvesting easier! 🌱

Kitchen Gardens are:
🌱Close to the home
🌱Tended Frequently
🌱Usually smaller than farm or vegetable garden

It would be particularly helpful for people in urban areas or apartments who don’t have space for a traditional compost bin to reduce food waste.

✍️Note: This composter does not produce actual traditional compost , but the beginning of compost by speeding up the process. When the Vego tab is used it produces a soil or grass amendment. The Vego tab nor the app are required for the composter to function.

As an organic gardener it’s giving me another tool to help reduce food waste & amend my garden soil.

I love being able to throw kitchen & garden scraps right into the composter while I’m preparing food.

🌟Ever feel like you’re juggling too many hats

🌟Ever feel like you’re juggling too many hats (roles) in the garden & in life?

I’m definitely juggling more than five hats in life probably more like 20+…Wife, Mom to college students, wife of a pastor, gardener, ministry leader, social media manager, & much more!

🌱 In the garden and in life, I often find myself wearing too many hats! It can feel overwhelming at times. If you’re juggling too many roles, remember to take a step back and prioritize. Delegate where you can, embrace the art of saying no, and don’t forget to carve out time for self-care.

Let’s find balance together! What hats do you wear? 🌼

Great day for up! Here’s a look at one of our four DIY cattle panel trellises.

🌿We picked up the cattle fencing from Tractor Supply, secured it with T-posts and heavy duty zip ties, then painted the posts gray to match.

We’ve grown the following on these trellises:
🫘Green Beans
🍅Tomatoes (indeterminate)
🥒Cucumbers
🫛Snap Peas
🧽Loofah Gourds
🌸Sweet Peas

Cattle fence panel trellises are the perfect affordable solution for vertical gardening and makes harvesting easier! 🌱

Did you know a kitchen garden is designed to provide fresh, homegrown herbs and veggies right at your doorstep?

Kitchen Gardens are:
🌱Close to the home
🌱Tended Frequently
🌱Usually smaller than farm or vegetable garden
🌱Created to be an extension of the home
🌱Trellises, Borders, Pathways

This is only a few things that make kitchen gardens distinct from other types of gardens. What would you add?
