  • Small Space Gardening: planting squash, melons & Meal | Maryland Zone 7b #garden #vegetables
    In this video, I’m making a cup of chamomile tea and a meal. Also, I’m direct sowing various squash and melon seeds in-ground.
    I grow in-ground, raised garden beds and garden grow bags.
    I am a small space gardener who grows lots of food to feed my family in a corner space of my suburban backyard.
    I hope that you enjoy this video!

    Ma’am I happen upon your video (6/2/24 Sunday evening) after coming in from my garden here in Utah. I just started it a couple weeks ago bc of the crazy cold that wouldn’t let up. I appreciated this video bc I KNOW what coming and my smile was wide! My Granddaddy taught me to garden when I could crawl (I’m 56) and when you ate those strawberries it took me back to when I was young remembering the summers of sitting at the end of the rows eating berries he’d just picked! Tears streaming down my face the memories sang to me just like church hymns from that morning. Shucks I apologize bc I don’t even know your name but I HAD to thank you for the beautiful memories of the past and how excited I am for THIS summer again being able to do it all again. So “Thank you”! Thank you for this video and taking me back. It’s just what my soul needed after another day in the yard/garden. I listened to my bible while in the garden. I know Sundays are suppose to be a rest day so hopefully the good Lord will forgive me on these Sundays I’m in the garden. I share with my neighbors and my elderly neighbors every year and it brings me so much joy! Anywho just wanted to share🥰 God bless you and your stunning harvest this year.

      Hello Sweet Lady!
      This was the most heart-felt and kindest message ever.
      I prayed that this video would touch someone.
      You are an answer to my prayers.
      I’m so happy to hear that this video brought back precious memories for you. How cool?! 🙌
      Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave this amazing comment.
      Things like this keep me going!
      Much appreciation! 🤗
      Welcome and have a great night!

      Again, thank you so very much.

    Desiree's pink flowers are SO PRETTY
    8:14 Well, that *werther's* at the beginning took Me back to My CHILDHOOD!! All the regular Aunties & Grandmas had butterscotch & peppermint, but THE FANCY "RichAuntie's" & 'nem had that WERTHER's!!! 9:02 I only use like HALF the pack of seasoning because of that. Plus, with everything ELSE We add from the garden, there's no need to use the whole package.... That reminds Me: I have SO MANY packs of seasoning (since I only use half of them) that I MEANT TO try using that seasoning on some meat (chicken) to see how it well it would flavor meats and whatnot. I haven't even had ramen for a couple of YEARS, so that's just how looooong I've had those extra packets sitting to the side. I'mma have to do that (on meat) THIS WEEK... And maybe even in a mess of collards or stringbeans when they're ready too.
    I'M READY TO START MY YumYumDANCE TOUR THIS SEASON!!! WHERE'S MY HARVESTS??!?!!!
