    I just love your channel! I have been a homemaker for 13 years, when my boys were little I absolutely loved being home with them. Once they started school full time I started questioning my role as I wasn't "needed" to the same degree. I am so glad that I found you on this platform. Your channel has re-ignited my inspiration and love for homemaking. Thank you for sharing.

      @A Quaint Life I am going to try jalapeños and tomatoes. I really want to plant some cilantro and basil. Do you have any suggestions for a first-time "gardener"? Lol

    • @aquaintlife
      @aquaintlife  Рік тому +1

      @@lindagarcia2486 that would be a great mix! The tomatoes, you really just need to make sure to trim them and cut the little suckers that grow between the stems. I just pinch them off, it’s pretty easy. And then make sure you stake them for support. They grow like weeds. The herbs will grow easily from seed as long as you keep the dirt moist. But I think that sounds like a great choice for a starter garden. Good luck with it! I can’t wait to hear how it’s going in the coming months 🙌❤️

    • @aquaintlife
      @aquaintlife  7 місяців тому

      Hello and welcome!! Thank you so much! I keep them in the fridge and every time I take tomatoes out I make sure the remaining tomatoes are under the oil so sometimes I add just a touch more oil if I have removed any. It works so good!! And they are delicious this way!

      I have sprouts today!! I had to ask family members for toilet paper rolls to have enough lol. But it's worth it. I don't like spending a fortune at the garden center, it makes me almost feel like I am defeating the purpose entirely.
