Hey, hey y’all. I’m back and today we’re going to walk out here and check out the garden and see how things are growing, how things are coming along in my very first garden that I’m doing. So, let’s check this out. All right. So, as y’all can see, it’s a small garden, but it’s a growing garden, and it’s mine. I love it. So, I’m happy to share it with you. So, let’s talk about this spinach. So, these two right here are my fighters. They’re like my little engines that can a little bit of extra TLC. These two in this bag, they are my what I call the big brothers of the four. They are strong. They are growing. You can kind of compare them and see the you can see the difference between the ones I call my fighters and then the ones that I call my big the big brothers. Um they came from the same um definitely are kind of you know fitting in the garden a little bit different. Several heads of broccoli out here started as well. This one is growing the fastest by far. It is doing very well um in this pot that it’s in. The other two. All right. So here’s the latest edition. This is some squash. Now I have both zucchini squash and yellow summer squash right now. Don’t ask me which one is which cuz I don’t know because I lost the little tabs that go in the dirt. So, moving right along to my favorite vegetable that I got out here in the garden so far. That’s the collard greens. And y’all, let me tell you, these collard greens have been showing out. We caught the last couple of frost that we had and they have been thriving ever since. I actually want to get me some more, but I don’t know if I want to go from some starters or if I want to go from some seeds and then just let as these start to kind of die off later in the season. Then I got those seeds is coming up those fresh bunches or whatever. But honey, these collard greens is growing. You hear me? You see like all these big leaves in both of these containers that I’m showing here. Just big beautiful leaves. And I love it cuz I love me some greens. I got these mira strawberry mint in here as well. And um I’m just letting it do what it do. Got my squash people. So again, they’re all mixed in together. I’ve got zucchini and I’ve got like some yellow summer squash, but they seem to be thriving well. They are in grow bags that I made myself. The video how to make a grow bag will be coming soon and I’ll link it here. But the squash but the squash are thriving. I’m excited. Right. So, now we’re coming over here to these squash in this container. Um, and it is thriving. It is beautiful. This squash is getting so big. And then to pair them with the yellow French maros, those miracles are just adorable to me. Um, and both plants in here together, they’re growing. They’re they’re very good companion plants. Orange and yellow French mira. They are so bright and adorable. Next, we come over here to these tomatoes. Now, y’all know if you’ve been following my new journey here on this channel, um you know there’s some shorts and I talked a little bit also in some of my other videos where I show that my tomatoes weren’t doing so well. Well, I’m glad I bought multiple plants because now I have one beef steak, one Mariana, and it looks like I was able to revive and save the beast and Mariana. I’m still crossing my fingers though. Um, we are trying to beat back the blight and it looks like I accomplished that. I also added a Roma tomato and it’s growing. Like all three of these are growing now. So, I definitely got to get this trellus in here and also get these plants covered so I can get some of these bugs over it. See that bug right there? I don’t like that bug. Where’ that bug come from? Now, I’ve been known to order peppers and mushrooms on my pizza, but y’all, I didn’t want it in my garden. Not like this. So, I made a fertilizer out of yeast and sugar and water and fertilized them. And then now I get up and then I have mushrooms and my peppers, y’all. Peppers now are starting to have little blooms, floral blooms on them. And I’m told that that is the stock for the actual pepper to start coming out. So, this one right here had a little peel on it. It fell off. So, I’m excited to see what’s going to happen over the course of the next few weeks with the TLC I give them and if these peppers are going to start popping like I want them to start popping. So, we’re going to have some popping peppers to pop in our food. So, right here by the peppers, we have our um loose leaf lettuce. Now, I want some more lettuce out here, but they had loose leaf. I’m not liking the way these are looking um to be honest. What I want to do is take them out of this container and put each head of loose leaf lettuce in its own container or put all the loose leaf lettuce in a container like what I have the collard greens in, collard greens in so they have room to spread out and grow. So these are the other peppers. So I have bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, and um mild banana peppers in the gar. Now, I got all those peppers, but honestly, I can’t tell these pepper plants apart. And my little sticker thing, the wind blew it away, so I don’t know which one is which. But guess what? We still going to make it do what it do, cuz they peppers, they in my garden, and we going to give them the TLC they need so they can grow and thrive, right? Yeah, y’all. Yes, my cucumbers. My cucumbers, y’all got some light to them. I was worried, but I gave them that TLC and boom, we got life. All right, y’all. So, now I’m excited about these cucumbers. Let me just hop on over here and we going to zoom in cuz I need you to see. Okay, so my cabbage, this cabbage plant right here, um, is it’s is it’s facing some challenges right now because this pot won’t drain right. So, I think it’s drowning my plant. Y’all see those dead leaves in there? Then, here’s a broccoli. Now, this broccoli has got that little leaf right there. I’m going to break that off. Um, but this leaf right, this broccoli, it’s growing, but it’s like the little engine that could. Then here’s some more. This one has drainage, too. But I got to give these um cabbage some a bit more love for real. There’s more broccoli. And here’s a cabbage. It’s growing very well. It’s It’s growing. It’s growing. Growing. It’s not playing about. It’s life. It’s say I’m here. I’m supposed to feed people. I know my purpose, right? And then these peppers. Looking at them again. I just want to get a little close cuz I don’t think you you got the full effect. This loose leaf lettuce is beautiful, but it needs some room to spread out. Um I got some carrots in there, too. So, I don’t want to I think I overcrowded this grow bag, so I’m I’m I’m going I’m going to move them. Then here’s my other my carrots. You see the little mushrooms grow there? had put a little bit of fertilizer in there with the little mixture I made with the yeast and the sugar and the water and then I watered them and then I woke up and they were like that. But those are doing pretty good too. U let’s see what else we got. I’m back over here with my cucumbers. I get excited every time I see them y’all cuz y’all understand my heart broke when I thought I had killed off all my cucumbers. And the whole purpose of the garden was to grow some cucumbers and some collards. Okay, that’s grass. Not that y’all. But that we got to work on. My son is working on the grass. But look at how tall the collards are now in this container. I’m going looking forward to doing a comparison video. Look, look at them big old leaves, y’all. Look at them big old leaves. It’s what I’m talking about. A thriving garden that’s going to feed the folks. Again, my son’s working on the grass, but look at this. So, now you can see now I zoomed in. If I could like actually control the camera like I need to. Okay. So, you see there’s the little um look like a little white ball or bulb that’s on there. That’s supposed to be where a pepper came out. And if you look right there, you can see one right there to the right. Right here where the it flowered and the flower opened up and then it fell out. And I think that’s supposed to be a pepper. We going to see. Friend said it’s supposed to be a pepper, but we’ll see. I’m still new to this, but I plan to be true to this and keep the course. Y’all know I’ve been fighting with these tomatoes. I’m believing God my tomatoes are going to thrive. These tomatoes are going to be a big tomato testimony. Y’all hear me. And y’all look at the miraos. The miraos is so pretty. I just had to show zoom in and show up to y’all cuz I was standing up at first when I record this and I’m like, let me zoom in. Let me check this zoom function out. Look at that beautiful orange and the little the little the little cabbage that could. It’s going to work though. It’s going to be all right. But I just wanted to show y’all. Get a little closer. You know that the commercial said get a little closer. Are extra dry. Get a little close and see you how I’m trying. So, you know, that’s what we’re doing. But yeah, so this is my garden y’all. I hope y’all enjoyed this video. I’m going to be moving some things in the garden. I want to make it prettier out here. Like right now for me, it seems like it’s just there. I’m going to be getting some tulle and doing some netting um to cover it cuz as you can see there’s some little spiderw webs out there and then you also have I mean nature gone nature but y’all look my neighbor next to me look what I I spy a little container garden out there. So my neighbor we going to talk. We me and her we going to talk cuz she put her little garden out there. So hey let’s do and no she ain’t been over here easing in here getting my stuff. They don’t play like that. I got some good neighbors. Um, but yeah, so I want to make this look a little prettier now cuz I want to be able to walk in between and I want to make sure I got things grouped the way they need to be grouped out here. Um, right now I feel like I just got a black pad and a bunch of stuff throwing on it. I don’t want it like that. And I got a little bit more space. I still got to get my u watermelons out there and all that other good stuff. So, but yeah, y’all. This is the garden. Thank y’all for watching Ayana’s weekly garden update.
