Trust the Process

Hey guys! If you’re reading this post, you have been following me since day one of my gardening journey. This has been by far one of the toughest journey’s I have ever been on in my life. Last week I laid down fertilizer and hay in my garden. The fertilizer is used to feed the plants and help them to grow. Well . . . either I put the fertilizer down wrong, I didn’t put enough, or my plants are just flat out dying because my poor cabbages, and lettuce plants are not growing! 😥I will definitely be doing more research on fertilizers and try to figure out where I went wrong. The hay was used to keep the moisture (i.e. water) in the soil, and deprive the weeds of sunlight so they won’t grow. Thankfully the weeds were not as bad this time when I went out into my garden for maintenance. So at least that worked out for me right? 

After doing some quick maintenance on my garden, I made a trellis for my shell bean plants. The trellis is simply a structure used to help guide and support “climbing” plants in their growth. Thankfully my beans are growing very well and I’m excited to see how they turn out! Overall, this week was a fairly pleasant one, and I think I’m finally understanding the relaxation part of gardening . . .  it comes after all the hard work, who knew! 😅Oh, and one last surprise. . . My jalapeños are growing beautifully!!! Stay tuned for what’s to come, as always. . .

Peace, Love, & Veggies!🌿
