You may or may not have seen some of my recent hints... but tomorrow, this community is getting a massive shake-up. Since starting this space in January, we’ve grown to 1,100 members! Watching this community evolve has been incredible, and it inspired me to build something I wish I had when I was a beginner. I felt overwhelmed, made expensive mistakes, and wished there was just one centralized, organized place where I could get a clear path and real-time answers. This change is the catalyst for exactly that. Tomorrow, 𝗮𝘁 𝟰 𝗽𝗺 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹, I'm pulling back the curtain on a brand-new space designed to break down your biggest roadblocks and give you absolute direction. I’m holding the full reveal under lock and key until then... 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿: make sure you have your community notifications turned 𝗢𝗡. 🔔 Full transparency → I will be opening a door that will let you test-drive everything without paying a single cent upfront. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵: the absolute lowest rate this will 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 be offered at is strictly limited to the 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬. Once those spots are claimed, they're gone. Set your alarms. Get excited. I cannot wait to share the full picture with you tomorrow. 🤫🌱

Did you know the flowers in your garden ARE the fireworks?? "𝘶𝘮𝘮, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵?" Hear me out. You know how a lot of man-made things take inspiration from and/or copy nature? Well, I was trying to come up with a fun Fourth of July gardening fact to share with y'all, and I started thinking about how a lot of my flowers kind of look like little fireworks... And then I thought, "𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘧 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴?" And wouldn't you know it!! THEY. ARE. 🤯 In Japanese, the word for fireworks is hanabi (花火). Which literally means "flower fire," from hana (flower) and hi (fire). Pyrotechnicians design the shells to burst into shapes that represent flowers. (And apparently trees, too!) Isn't that SO COOL?! I attached some photos of popular ones so you can see for yourself! I will definitely be dropping this fun fact at my 4th of July party tonight! 😎 Did you guys already know that? Have I been living under a rock? Because I feel like I may be a bit too excited about this new information. 🤣

Baby veggies on a table to protect from wildlife a little. Some herbs currants and raspberries under a tree shade to protect from too hot sun but have since moved them all to the backyard to protect from deer. Fig cuttings being rooted. Not pictured are my baby citrus trees and baby avocado tree. Most of these are given to us. Some we bought really cheap! Gardening is so expensive but Yahweh provides! Including great resources like this skool 😁

Have you ever had all your lettuce bolt (go to seed and turn bitter) in the same week? ...Or harvested a mountain of bush beans all at once, scrambled to use/preserve them… and then had nothing for the rest of the season? That's "feast or famine". And succession planting is how you fix it. 🌿 𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴? Succession planting just means spreading out your plantings over time instead of putting everything in the ground at once. Instead of planting all your lettuce seeds on the same day, you plant a small batch, wait a couple of weeks, plant another small batch, wait again, and keep going. The result? Instead of 20 heads of lettuce all ready on the same Tuesday, you get fresh lettuce coming in steadily for weeks, or even months! It’s a fairly simple practice, with a big payoff! 🥗 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀: Some plants are natural candidates for succession planting because they tend to produce their harvest all at once, and then they're done. 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗲, 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗵, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘀 — Classic examples. Heat makes them bolt fast. Planting every 2–3 weeks keeps the salad bowl full from spring into early summer (and again in fall). 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 — Unlike pole beans (which climb and keep producing), bush beans give you a big flush of pods over just a few weeks, and then they're mostly finished. Successive plantings every 2–3 weeks stretch that harvest 𝘸𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘺 out. 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀 — These mature in as little as 4 weeks, which means a single planting is gone before you know it. Succession planting radishes every 1–2 weeks keeps a continuous trickle coming. 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝘀 — Cool-weather lovers that stop producing and die off once summer heat hits. Plant in waves in early spring & again in late summer/early fall to maximize the growing windows. 𝗖𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼/𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 — This herb bolts (goes to seed) incredibly fast in warm weather. Planting a short row every 2–3 weeks is basically the only way to have it reliably all season. (At least, it is for me in Texas 🥵)

I love the videos that have all the info I need to grow a plant so I dont need to watch anything else! Subscribed and liking every one. I did need to check with ai for some specifics to my zone but overall I would say your info is pretty complete for a beginner like me :)
