HOW TO PLANT CUCUMBERS IN CONTAINERS⬇️ 😎Repeat after me, gardening doesn’t have to be hard! You can plant fruits and veggies in containers and they will grow beautifully! You don’t need anything expensive either. We got our 15 gallon containers for $6 each! 🥒Cucumbers are super easy to grow. Plant seeds 4-6 inches apart then thin to about 6-12 inches and make sure they have a trellis. They can grow pretty long. They like plenty of water, but don’t over do it. Make sure you have some loose well draining soil with lots of good compost added in. Always plant a companion plant like dill with your cucumbers. 👯All plants have friends that help them out, these are called companion plants. They help by attracting beneficial bugs that deal with the bad bugs attacking your veggies. Some companion plants have a very strong sent that can also deter pests. By planting this way, you help avoid the mistake of losing your harvest to bugs. My first year gardening I planted over 100 green beans and the pests ended up getting most of them. Needless to say, I learned a hard lesson!

😎This was just a fun trend to do. Ryan had me laughing so hard at his dancing! 🙌We got half of our garden beds mulched so this was kind of a before and after.💚 🌱Hemp mulch rocks! #gardentips #organicgardening #gardening #selfsufficient #sustainability #backyardgarden #foodfreedom #growyourownfood #growingfood #healthyliving #mulch #hempmulch

🫚Ginger is one of my favorite foods to eat! It is so delicious and can be used in a variety of dishes from sweet to savory. 🫚It has lots of health benefits too! It’s an antioxidant, it’s anti-inflammatory, it can help with nausea, gas, and tons more! 🫚Here is the updated recipe. We’ve tweaked it since we first filmed this recipe last year: Ginger Shot Recipe - 1 cup fresh ginger(1/2 cup if you’re weak😅🤣it’s spicy🥵) - 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple - 2 cups coconut water - 1 thumb turmeric - 1 peeled lemon - 1 peeled large orange - 3 tsp apple cider vinegar - 2 TBL Raw honey - 1/4 tsp black pepper 🫚If you’d like the link to the video where I teach you how to plant and grow ginger, plus everything that I used in the video, check out the link in my profile. #ginger #gardeningtips #gardentips #growyourownfood #growingfood #backyardgarden #organicgardening #sustainability #gingershots #growingginger #gingerrecipes #crunchymom #lowtoxliving #healthyrecipes #holisticliving

💛If you have never smelled allysum, you are seriously missing out! This flower smells so amazing!! 💛Allysum is a fantastic pollinator magnet. Parasitic wasps and hover flies love this allysum. 💛It makes a great companion plant for tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and chard too. 💛This plant is edible and also used medicinally for many ailments. Always do your own research. 💛 If you’d like to start growing your own food, herbs, and flowers check out the link in my profile for my gardening ebook called From Seed To Sustainability.💚 #gardentips #organicgardening #gardening #selfsufficient #sustainability #backyardgarden #foodfreedom #growyourownfood #growingfood #healthyliving #companionplanting #allysum #flowergarden #beginnergardener #newgardener

🥵If your garden struggles in the heat of Summer, this is really going to help! 💦Pittmoss changed the game for us last year, big time! We mixed this into our soil and it made a HUGE difference in the amount of watering we had to do. 🙌This soil amendment helps with water retention and aeration in your soil. You can also use it alone. We used it without anything else in the raised bed in this video and everything we grew in it was beautiful! Yarrow, mullein, cucumbers, peppers, basil, epazote, and marigolds. 🔥Without Pittmoss and using hemp mulch in our garden last year, we would’ve lost everything. We had temps over 100 degrees for nearly three months straight! This honestly helped our garden keep on keepin’ on during the heatwave. 💚If you’d like to give it a try, check out the link in my profile. #gardentips #organicgardening #gardening #selfsufficient #sustainability #backyardgarden #foodfreedom #growyourownfood #growingfood #healthyliving #pittmoss #soilamendments #soilhealth
