LIFE OVER 50 WINTER VLOG: breakfast, self-care and container gardening update #wintergardening #coloring #breakfast

In this video, I cook breakfast, do some coloring and share my winter container garden in Maryland (DMV area ) Zone 7b garden.

These days I spend most of my time tending to the plants in my small space Maryland Zone 7b Suburban backyard garden.

I enjoy the harvests from my garden as well as cooking colorful, healthy and nutritious meals from my garden.

I grow in-ground, metal raised garden beds, containers, pots, larger planters and grow bags.

I love sharing things I do in my everyday life from gardening, cooking, home decorating, painting, indoor hydroponics, traveling, hanging out with family and friends, and the occasional eating out and more.

I hope you enjoy this video and find some inspiration from something that I shared.

  1. Your breakfast may become my go to meal. I can do it on meatless Monday without bacon. Thanks for sharing your winter sowing method using milk jugs. I need to get a jump for my Sorrel and peppers. Love all your useful info! Thanks for sharing.

  2. Yes, Nikki I know that keto diet. It has to be hard. You walking by that beautiful jar of J3GS honey I know it’s making it hard. I fall in the same situation with this J3GS hONEY all around me but we have to keep up That good fight. And yes, the garden is still going strong do your thing, sis.

  3. Everything in your world is beautifully blessed!!!
    I hope you and your family have had a wonderful Christmas and you have a blessed new year Boo!
    What kind of markers do you use?
    I bought myself a scripture coloring book and Crayola markers but, the markers made a mess by bleeding through the paper and outside the lines.
    Then, the ink got on me too 🙄.
    I hope your seeds thrive!!!
    I love you bigly!!!
    ✌️💖🙏🙌🫂😘🤜

  4. Nice breakfast! You remind me of a spring flower with your colorful hat and tee! So happy you can keep something green growing through December! Enjoy your holidays!

  5. Hi Nikki, I don’t eat bacon but those eggs looked delicious and your garden is doing well. Oh and your hat still looks so good on you. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤

  6. Your Garden is looking Great, The Lettuce looking nice and crispy, Name your collard, 🥬🥬 Thanks for Sharing, Your Breakfast Also. Enjoy your day 💜

  7. I render all My bacongrease TOO!!!!! And use it to cook My eggs & greens!!
    I've always cooked My bacon ON THE STOVE IN THE PAN, but after I started gardening, I wondered if it didn't make sense to cook it IN THE OVEN.
    If FISH can be equally delicious BAKED, WHY CAN'T BACON. WHY WOULDN'T BAKING BACON MAKE SENSE??!?!! I mean, heck it's WHOLE *NAME IS BACON*: That's enough of a hint that maybe I should try BAKINGtheBACON….. ANYhooo, I've been cooking it in the oven for over a decade now. It's better than torturing Myself with backsplatter from stove-frying. SET IT & FORGET IT!!
    I left everything uncovered so that next year, I know what I can count on to stay green throughout the winter & start early with filling the garden with those plants… so the winter landscape remains full of color, although not growing aggressively or anything.
    And the self-care guidance is ON-POINT, as per usual.
    Hope this season with your family has been AMAZINGLY REJUVENATING, Sis!
    Peace, Love, & HairGREASE!!!!

  8. Great video Nikki!!! My mom colored all the time, it's definitely relaxing. The garden is looking nice in spit of the cold.

  9. Happy Holiday's! I could eat bacon and eggs at anytime of the day lol the perfect combo. Your garden is holding up very well against the frost. Real nice

  10. Hey Lil Sis I'm loving that hat I need new hat that could fit over my locks now.
    I'm bacon fan cook mines in cast iron pot. I like mines really crispy too.
    I still have collards I need to go harvest and put in the freezer.
    Happy winter growing! 💚🌱

  13. Keto and exercise have been my go to since 2003. Always works. Now that my cholesterol levels are getting higher, I am having to alter it. More only vegetables days and fasting. Don't want to take the statins. You're looking amazing. Thanks for sharing

  14. Twirling in with ❤breakfast look scrumptious…. I cook bacon 🥓 Oldschool way on top sometimes in oven ….. yes check on those plant babies….big thumbs 👍 Hope you & family enjoyed Christmas!!

  15. Thanks for sharing your diet! We fry bacon in our house.

    Yes, I am a drawer too when I am stressed. I have a lot of uncertainty in my life so I need to keep myself busy.
