👋🏻 Hello! My name is Em. Welcome to my corner of the internet. I put out weekly vlogs here that cover a variety of topics. My hobby is having a lot of hobbies. I love to work with my hands. Some themes you may encounter: cooking, cleaning, preserving food, gardening, crocheting, sewing, & various other hobbies I've collected throughout my life. None of this is without an end goal: having a homestead of our own one day. With a giant garden. More dogs. A greenhouse. Trees. Tons of trees. And dirt that is our very own. I hope you enjoy watching my silly little videos. 🫶🏻 - Em, Lavender Moon Homestead
no fluff gardening over here, my first cabbage harvest, & curing onions in an apartment | #45
In this vlog, I continue on with storing my onions. I make a net to hang the onions through so they can dry out or "cure". This is essential for long term storage. I also harvest my first cabbage ever! A napa cabbage that I grew from seed! The variety is 'Hilton' from Baker Creek. After that, I finish my net and hang the onions in my kitchen because I live in an apartment. Small space living requires creative solutions when trying to figure out what to do with all of my garden produce!

napa cabbage & daikon harvests means KIMCHI! keep your eyeballs peeled for some daikon preserving & kimchi videos soon 👀 thanks for watching & don't forget to like this video! ❤
wondering what I did with the onions?? stay tuned for the next vlog in a few days! I was not prepared to say the least 😅 thanks for watching! ❤
nothing better than sauerkraut on a brat!
Still haven't had one but very soon! Just gotta perfect my hot dog bun recipe 😅
What kind of beet is that?!
it is a chioggia beet! much milder than a normal red beet. they are my favorite along with golden and white beets!
thank you so much for watching! don't forget to hit the like button 🫶 are you excited for a future onion harvest?? I only grew 1 pound of onions last year but I planted them super late. They were very small because I just threw them in the ground 😂 happy to be more experienced this year (yet still learning everyday!)
Your garden is so great! 😊
❤️❤️ thank you!
I was thinking campcake 😅
😂 I like that better than pancake anyway
I hope you enjoyed our camping adventures! Although I've been camping a fair share of times in my life, I'm a little rusty 😅Who else is an anxious camper? I WANT to go camping but my brain says it's dangerous. The best way to quiet that brain chatter is by doing the exact opposite of what it's telling you to do. Go camping and see that it really isn't all that scary and the next time you go, it'll be more comfortable 🫶
heeeeyyy. thank you so much for watching! what is your favorite meal to make over a campfire?? I need some inspiration for future camping trips 🏕❤
Those s’mores look SO GOOD 🔥
they were amazing! nothing like a marshmallow roasted over a fire 😍
🌻🌱👍
We need a graham cracker recipe!!
The graham cracker recipe is in the description! They were so easy to make and came out just perfect ❤️
✨thanks for all the love on this video! Subscribe if you want to see how my camping trip went or if you like watching videos about gardening, preserving, cooking, fiber arts, etc, etc ❤
borage flowers are so pretty! do you just leave them for the pollinators or use them for something else?
last year I dried them but this year I am letting them be. I put the dried flowers in tea or use them as decor for baked goods
Saying “I only use celery for mirepoix” is like saying “I only use tomatillos for salsa verde.” That’s what you’re supposed to use it for. 😋
yesss, someone who gets it!
The daikon are so cute! I love how stumpy they are lol. And that burger tho! nothing like indulging in something that's actually good for you 🤤
Ugh, that burger was so good and i could drink one of those milkshakes everyday 🤤
Just stumbled upon your channel and love your vibe, excited to binge your vids!
ahhh thank you so much!!
hi! I would love for y'all to give this video a thumbs up. It really helps show my videos to more people 🫶 also subscribing would be make my day 🥹 and is a free way to support me! thank you so much for watching ❤
The hummingbird content tho 😍
thankssss. I love watching them 😊
they're like little fairies!
love the idea of making something on your bday! 🎉
whether it's divorce kimchi or birthday sauerkraut, I highly recommend it 👌🏻
This is such a cute and calming Vlog! 🥰
☺️ thank you!
💕
What daikon variety is that?
altari dochon 89 ❤️
Your videos are always so nice to watch c:
thank youuu! I really strive to make them entertaining yet interesting/educational 😊
Those cabbage leaves are huge! When do they start forming into a “ball”?
@@Blue_gizmoo they are forming their cabbage head now! Seems to be able halfway through the (first year) growing cycle
Water when the sun goes down.... You'll keep the moisture longer giving it more time to soak deeper. Watering in the sun will scorch the leaves where all the photosynthesis happens... Get your compost in a worm farm... Get a big tank 30 or 40 gallons to make Nettle-water... Start it early in the season so it has time to break down in the water... It'll appear like a black sludge-water... It's Like adding NOS & TURBO to a V8 engine..
watering happens whenever I get there. I wish I could plan it! and I literally can't do any of that, but thanks for the advice!
lol, kinda hard to put a 40 gallon tank in an apartment
I would love if you all could give this video a like! it really helps to get my videos out to a wider audience ❤ thank you! 😊
Hoping your channel grows like your garden ☺️🫶🏼
😭 that's so nice, thank youuuu! ❤️
funny accent
hehe thanks
OMG this recipe was a LIFESAVER I had 30 minutes left until a party and made it! All of my guests loved it. Definitely recommend ❤
yesssss 🙌🏻 I'm so glad everyone enjoyed it!
Alright so I tried it and I'm definitely doing it again
omg that's so awesome! hope it was delicious!
thanks so much for watching!! don't forget to give this video a like 👍 it would mean the world to me 😄
Spinach sucks 😂 even when you do get a bunch, once you cook it you’re left with a pea sized amount. I vote for other greens, the komatsuna looks amazing!
There are sooo many other greens to choose from! I think I'd rather grow something that I can't find as easily
That area is so beautiful! 😍
Heyyy. the audio is terrible in the beginning, I know. I got a microphone towards the end of the video. From here on, the quality of audio should be better. thanks for sticking around! and don't forget to like the video ☺
Your editing style is so cute and nice! Best of luck to you on your gardening adventures c:
☺️ thank youuuuu!
I am starting to take notes so I can follow up to see central florida grow. Inspired me to start working on my yard. Love your videos
You're lucky in central Florida! You can grow just about anything 😁 so jealous! Glad you're liking my videos ❤️
I watch your videos and wonder if you can be asked question or advise?
Of course! You can ask me anything 😊
Following! I’m in the Rockies but the Canadian side - excited to see your garden grow this year! Jealous of those cantaloupes
Welcome my Canadian friend! Good luck with your garden! Happy to finally be outside again and enjoying our beautiful spring 😊 hope the melons will be successful 🤞🏻
I would do half inside and half outside to see which one works best. Especially in Colorado where the weather is so sporadic and the nights are colder.
We'll see how well the little cucumber I saved does this year! When I have more space and better lighting, I think I'll do a little of both for sure.
thank you so much for watching! don't forget to leave a like 🫶 see you next week!🌸
please excuse the low effort. I've been dealing with a kidney stone and have been editing between bouts of pain. hope you enjoy the vlog anyway 🫶☺
the indoor greenhouse is so sick!
A great look for you
you are really interesting
No, I would not use the purse
My first time to comment on a youtube video. You seem like you know what you are doing in the kitchen.
I saw y'all had salmon at the denver german market but eat vegan at home mainly, I'm so curious because I'm a dairy-free pescatarian so I often opt for vegan places. Esp bc if I eat eggs or fish I'm SO picky about where it's from.
Yesss, we eat like 95% plant based and occasionally fish/seafood. I usually cook plant based at home and have fish/seafood out if that's the only thing I can get.
Yay I'n so happy your partner is in your videos now!!
She's a supporting role 🤗
thanks so much for watching! Don't forget to leave a like 👍see you soon in the next one ❤
