And every decorating vlog. 🤪 When you eventually find the time and money to do it. I love your enthusiasm for cooking and gardening, but I think you're missing the relaxing and nesting gene. Post prandial relaxation in a cozy space might be what's missing. It would be for me. And, please, when you do begin accumulating furnishings, splurge on some classic basic pieces but hit auctions and thrift stores for the decorative/expendable things. NEVER 2nd hand a mattress. ❤❤ Not even for kids. Not even from a relative. Buy new sleep pillows at least every two years........take care of yourself.

But I watch these gardeners with an abundance of unblemished produce and it can be discouraging for newbies because the reality is between insects and four legged friends, the weather (here), and learning about inter planting and the right companion plants gardening is hard!! We don’t deal with deer at least. But for some javelinas are worse. And with mulch it invites scorpions. It’s just a whole thing.

I’ve seen videos recently where you prune pepper plants back, dig them up and put in pots and over winter inside by a window or under grow lights. Peppers are perennials in warm climates. The advantage of not just pulling them out, is that they take so long to grow from seed, you can then put the mature plant out once warm enough the following spring and you get loads more peppers much earlier on. Have you seen this or thought about doing it?

Amongst your weeds, looks like you have some wild lettuce. It you break off a leaf or stem you’ll find a white sap oozing out and it’s a little bitter. Wild lettuce is very healthy and medicinal. It’s also eaten if you have some body pain. I really suggest you look it up first before consume it. I must say you seem to be an expert on the “when and how” of all your plants and seeds.

When you plant strawberries you should have your husband build a cage for them, strawberries are perennials and will come back year after year. But if you don't cage them, the SECOND they blush any red, they will get eaten. birds love them, squirrels, bunnies, there's 1001 "pests" that love strawberries in the wild and if you don't cage them right off the bat you will NEVER reap any benefits other than watching wildlife eat your fruit.
