Come along with me for a real-life garden day — starting with a quick trip to grab supplies (because you know I’m always missing something 😂), then we get our hands in the dirt and finally plant up some tomatoes in Zone 6b/7a.
Whether you’re growing in containers, raised beds, or just dreaming of starting a garden one day — this is your reminder that it doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful 🌿✨

[Laughter] [Music] at the girls and I’m about to go get my mom and then we’re going to go to Lehi’s today which is a Lehi greenhouse and they have some of the best stuff so I’m going there to see if we can find some herbs and some peppers and whatever else to put in this garden [Music] okay stay still [Music] something like this i was looking at like the catnip it is a full sun 14 to 18 in which shouldn’t be that bad like I’m looking for something to go on that front mound that I have and I was thinking about like some lavender or something like that it would pop out really pretty with like the red that I have this might not be bad and it’s catnip and let’s see it spreads 18 to 30 in wide so it definitely will be big enough i wonder how much these are cuz I would probably need like six to eight of them let’s see 14 is $6.99 we got to find a price oh y’all can see we got to find a price cuz I like these and I think they they just might be perfect right there parisian blue may have to look them up look this is why you hate the kids so much the prices are really good they’re $4.40 each for those so six of them would have gotten me like 25 bucks 30 that’s not actually bad so six will get you like 25 $30 you might be taking those home hi dang we going to get some meds [Music] i’m holding this hold hold this i love apple mint [Music] [Music] you going to put some apple mint yeah thank you it’s so hot oh it does it smells so good yeah nothing better that’s like our biggest hey hey why are you fighting what’s going on regular y’all fussing and fighting mommy is trying to happily enjoy shopping for flowers and herbs for the garden see Bobby’s back there [Music] oh it’s green that matures the red okay so we’ll do two of these thank you did you want any banana peppers i didn’t do anything like it last year i buried them i just You’re supposed to put them in the vinegar and then you put them on your subs and stuff we could try you want to try one yeah why not [Music] wow [Music] all right i’m going say in general do not judge what I’m about to do because I have to build this bed up it cannot be this low i may transplant some to this bed right here but we got to get this up so don’t judge me i did transplant one or two already to the far bed but like I said this has got to go i have not made plans for what to do with these yet with these volunteers no but I need to build up this and they’re too close to the gym you know it [Music] hey can you follow my [Music] [Music] You’re going to eat dinner look at that i got a carrot nice coat one too not too hairy [Music] [Music] huh okay so so far it has taken 1 two three four garden stocks to fill it up this much well five to fill it up this much um but I figured out what the it was it is flowers look we got flowers i think they’re snap dragons if I’m not mistaken which means this will be flowers i wonder if I can dig them up and put them in here and then that way we have one full one besides the weed I got to take out you see the weed the weed I got to take out but then we’ll have one full one with flowers and some mushrooms cuz I think this is a flower too it looks sort of the same i think i don’t know and then we have a strawberry oh we’ve got a strawberry growing and then some random thing i have no clue what that is it looks like weed and we got a weed so then I can get rid of these and start those over so yeah let’s keep going i think I will dig that up and just see if we can get that in there maybe put some fertilizer in and hopefully we’ll get cuz I think I just going to condense them to one and then everything else gets to get turned over and put in our beds we got to move the little railing up we end up just taking them off and then redoing it so yeah here we go [Music] hat [Music] hey in case you’re wondering about my last doctor’s appointment so apparently I have a photo sensitivity to the sun which could be brought on by my autoimmune disease or it could just simply be from just from the sun they called it something i don’t remember the actual name but it had like a PM something i think there was a name to it but I don’t remember the name and so I do have the markers for lupus so they said it could be that or it could just simply just be a photosensitivity that will get better as the season goes so we shall see but I’ve been feeling really weak and tired lately so it could very well just be the actual lupus i’m not sure for sure if it is it because last time when I went to the so when I went to the um not the doctor the rheatologist and he did his test I wasn’t currently flaring and so he said he didn’t see anything that’s why I say undiagnosed lupus i think this is good though i think we’re good with this bit so yes that took us one two three this two does not so eight eight garden stocks which basically is eight bags of soil that we now have to replace for the garden stocks but this is good so these are done so now we have these complete and now on that side we probably gonna need another eight if not more bags over there because that’s deeper but this is good and then let’s see what comes next planting some flowers some herbs we going to plant this bed out girl i think I want to do the tomatoes in the middle or up against the side i think I want to give it like whatever is going to trail up goes up against the side tomatoes in the middle and then do some herbs around the outside cuz I want a lot of everything in here let’s go ahead and get them started cuz they look in past years I hadn’t done what I’m about to do which is put these in the middle but I really feel like it might be a smart idea because then it goes brackets right on top we could have went a little deeper but we’ll leave it for now actually let’s go a little deeper all right that’s deep as it goes yeah all right throw these back in wiggle around my roots a little bit so we got a little heavy on it and then we’ll mound it up a little bit just so it can grow really good and then I like to like pound it down a little bit just to make sure it’s stuck in there there we go so that’s good for there and then I’m going put another one on that end [Music] he’s tall so I want him to be super deep he’s going to build nice big strong look at how deep that is super deep throw the egg in crack it once you put your crack in then on your plant take off the little suckers down bottom and it’ll grow new roots all the way up there there we go so this is how high we have it pull her out look at that so many roots so good see how it sticks it all the way down in now you have that all the way down in so what I do is I just press it down a little bit so I like to press it down a little bit just to get it a little bit deeper and then back fill it soon while holding it straight then I tend to heal up just a little bit and give it another compress in there that’s how I plant my tomatoes so after lifting all of that those um green stocks yesterday tell me why I hurt my back i am learning I need to be dependent on my husband a little bit more than I am cuz I just lifted them up and put them into that garden bed and now I’m out of commission today yes yes boo oh my lord

Your mama is right. Banana peppers are so good on sandwiches. 🤗
