    Another beautiful harvest basket! I love these videos. Confession: I don’t actually garden. But when everything seems to be falling apart, I watch Asia handle worms, spilled feed bags, vent gleet, and other bumps in the road. She still manages to laugh, find what’s beautiful, put it in a basket. And everything’s gonna be okay. 🌻🪺❤

    Love your transparency Asia! I learned from you to not sweat the small stuff & learn from success & errors , not take gardening so seriously! 😅😂 It’s supposed to be enjoyable and therapeutic, that’s why patience is a pre-requisite if you want to be a successful and tranquil gardener! 😅 It’s my 2nd year gardening and I love it! Thanks for sharing your wisdom and keeping it real ! Hello from Long Island, New York, zone 7B! ☺️👋🏽❤️

    Hey Asia! Faithfully watching from SW Colorado, where the mountains meet the desert. It's a very challenging place to garden, and mine is never as lush and productive as yours. And yet, I persist. I still love it. Last week, inspired by you, I bought some grow bags. I got green ones, since the black ones will get too hot out here. Plus they are really pretty. I transplanted a blueberry bush that my daughter bought last year. Conventional wisdom says blueberries don't grow well here, but we're experimenting anyway. Why not? And conventional wisdom also says sweet potatoes don't do well here, but a gal I know says she's been growing sweet pots here for many years, and before that, she grew them successfully in Illinois (also supposedly not ideal growing conditions) for many years. She gave me some "slips" and I am rooting them in water and gonna plant them in the ground in a few days. I'm very excited to try this and see what happens! Thanks for all the inspiration and beauty that you share with us. xox

    Feed them amaranth, quinoa and wild berries like mulberries. Put some worm compost and regular dirt in there in closure. For a wild treat for them because they are barely domesticated. They have a lot of wild in them they know how to feed and forage for themselves. They can also regulate their body temperature well. Please don’t take that away from them. Be safe 🎉

    How Beautiful!!! Another abundance in your harvest basket! My family and I tried the Shishito peppers and oh my goodness we absolutely LOVE that for us! My children love it and kept asking to make more I figured out how to reduce that popping I poked about 2 holes in it before putting it in the oil and didn’t have no issues and let me tell you with that Ranch sauce it was a hit! Thanks for sharing!

    Hello Asia, since the ants are inside the greenhouse try spend coffee grounds around the perimeter of the greenhouse, they don't like tge smell. Mix baking soda, about a cup, two tablespoons sugar and two tablespoons borax, mix it well and put it around on bottle caps( juice, soda, jars from the kitchen) and sprinkle a little around. Have work for me and the population of ants is a lot less. Good luck

    Enjoyed the video. I watched another channel ( Grow Family Network with King) and what they did to get rid of ants was to use another colony of ants. The two colonies fought each other and killed each other off. It took a few hours but when he went back to check his raised bed both sets of ants were done in. Don’t know if that helps or not. Happy gardening. ❤

    We made worm bins out of storage bins with holes on the top sides and bottom. A pesky racoon kept coming and flipping them over to try to eat the worms! (One night I left it half open by accident and the racoon forages in them.) Now they're in my basement. :)

    I’ve wanted to do compost too but I know I won’t take care of it. I’ve decided I’m going to make a compost bin in my chicken yard. I’m going to make like a four or five foot ring to throw scraps and stuff in. From what I’ve read, the chickens will scratch it and turn it for you. Guess we’ll see. We put a dozen fertile eggs under one of our girls that went broody and she just hatched out 11 chicks. So we should have plenty chicken composters! 😂 Looking good girl! I use crawfish platters for food for the chickens and we put a little roof over a pallet and put a baby pool on it for their water. I only have to change their water once a week.

    I use shredded paper for bedding for my earthworms. It's free. I remove the windows from envelopes and shred most of my junk mail, old bills, etc. I try to avoid shiny, coated paper, but other than that, it's all fair game. I have a compost pile (sort of) sounds like it kind of like yours. I haven't turned it in at least a year. Most of my garden waste is either left in the beds (chop and drop) or given to the chickens. This fall I'll spread that compost on top of my beds., I may not start another pile, I haven't decided. I'll also rake up the old bedding in the chicken run in the fall and top off my beds with that. I'm all about as little work as I can get away with. Zone 8, Portland OR

    Nice little harvest Asia! I get the compost situation. It is a lot to deal with. I'll be waiting until the end of the season and using mine to put the garden to bed. The flowers are beautiful! I kept cutting my zinnias last season, and boy, they kept growing out and up, and next thing I knew, I had a bush! It was gorgeous😊. I planted delicata squash again, and it looks like I might have a little harvest this time🙌🏼. I am SO EXCITED!!! See you soon.😊
