They’ve already taken out most of my pumpkins. They must be stopped. #squashvineborer #gardenpests #gardening #pumpkinpatch

My first orangeglo melon! I have tried to grow these so many times and never succeeded. This whole time I thought it was just a normal watermelon. I cut into it and initially thought it was an unripe sugar baby. I’m so glad I realized, because this is delicious! I went from sad to excited so fast.

I’m planting a lot more, but here are some seed highlights if you’re needing ideas for new things to plant this fall. #fallgarden #seeds #fallplanting #gardening

The garden is ready for fall planting! Here’s how I amended my soil to hopefully make it happy and healthy to accommodate another season of growing food for my family. #gardenprep #fallcrops #soilhealth #gardenchores #fallgarden

It’s time to get prepared for fall crops. This part of gardening is WORK. It’s been 3,000 degrees here in Texas, and I look like I’ve jumped in a pool every time I come out here to accomplish a task. Did I mention myself and my whole family has been sick?Alas, all the hard work will be worth it onc

We enjoyed a quiet evening after an unexpected rain shower #countryside #rain #sky #calm

It was embarrassing having to explain what extreme sport I was engaged in to cause such an injury. Stay safe out there. #embarrassing #gardening #mybackhurts

I’m trying to show what I make with what I harvest from the garden, so here’s an easy Friday night dinner. I’ll definitely be cooking the long beans like this again. So yummy. #cookdinnerwithme #gardentotable #longbeans #dinner #harvest

My harvest from last Friday to kick off the holiday weekend. I was able to make green beans for dinner, make homemade salsa, and prep some boat snacks from this basket. #harvest #gardenharvest #longbeans #growyourownfood #summerharvest

That wasn’t the plan, but hey, I’ll take it. #garden #tomato #harvest #morning #gardening

This is my first melon harvest of this year, and my first time successfully growing golden midget watermelons. I have tried 3 times! My toddler and I enjoyed it while watching The Labyrinth. #harvest #gardenharvest #melon #melonharvest

July is here, and the garden is thriving #july #garden #gardening

Here’s how I get my arches covered in vines. Some will grow upward on their own, but most often the vines need some direction in the beginning. #verticalgarden #gardenarch #vines #gardening
