Ever wondered what the bee is actually doing in your squash garden? 🐝✨
Here is what I didn't know!!!!!
💛 Male Flower
🌼 Long skinny stem
🌼 No baby squash behind it
🌼 Makes pollen only
🌼 First flowers to appear
🍋 Female Flower
🌼 Tiny baby squash attached
🌼 Short thick stem
🌼 Needs pollen to grow fruit
🌼 Turns into your harvest
🐝 What the Bee Does in the Garden
✨ Carries pollen from male → female
✨ Without this visit… no squash!
If you see a mini squash behind the flower… that was a female 💛 Click the link in bio if you want step-by-step garden learning right from your phone 📱🌿!!!!

How To Easily Stop Pests Organically👇🏾
I’ve been growing a pests garden guide inside my programs for the last year and I want to show you how I garden organically.
Message me the word “PESTS” in my DMs and I’ll send you all the details and make sure you share + save this reel 💾!!!
Instead of gimmicks like spreading cinnamon powder all over my garden, I mulched my garden with more herb plants and flowers to confuse and deter pests.
Gimmicks don't work. That why experts always say add more flowers and herbs.
It’s small nuggets of wisdom like this that will save you from yellow, brown, and dead plants with holes all in your garden.
These plants will attract birds and wasps, that will eat up pests like:
🐛earwigs
🐛aphids
🐛hornworms
🐛cucumber beetles
🐛cutworms
🐛Mexican bean beetles
🐛slugs and snails
Don't have to over think it, boo!!!
It’s a massive win-win for you and your garden!
If you’re ready to turn your grass into an organic garden…
✨ Message me the word “PEST” in my DMs and I’ll show you how!

Signs of Death Below⬇️
First, if this was helpful to you, please share, save💾 and comment "APP" if you need help a step-by-step guide to maintain cucumbers and 50+ other common plants in the garden.
Hey friends! 🌞
Have you started your first garden and everything is going smoothly. You are excited and you start to see you cucumbers bloom yellow flowers.
Then...
Your cucumber plants struggling to climb! Their tendrils are too weak to grab the trellis.
Let's fix this! 💪🥒
What’s Actually Happening?
These tiny, curly arms can’t hold on tight. 😢
Unlike the fake gardening apps that will tell you its some kind of wierd disease, my app considers your gardening set up and an optimal gardening environment like::
✅Lack of sunlight ☀️
✅Poor soil nutrients 🌱
✅Not enough water 💧
Get my gardening mobile app that can tell you if your cucumbers are struggling to climb, they most likely need:
✅Sun shine: Make sure your cucumbers get at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. 🌞
✅Healthy Soil: Mix compost into your soil for extra nutrients. 🥕🍂
✅Watering: Water deeply and regularly. Soil should stay moist but not soggy. 💦
Need extra help, the app can teach you:
✅Cucumber-Training: Gently guide and wrap tendrils around the trellis. They’ll get the hang of it! 👐✨
✅Support: Use garden ties to secure stems to the trellis if needed. ✨
✅Get the mobile app and watch your cucumbers cheat death! 🥒🌿

Learn What I Did Wrong👇🏾
First, if this was helpful to you, save and share this post💾 and comment “APP” and I'll DM you to learn how to plant your food to feed a your entire family for one year to fight inflation🌟
Little gardening mistakes like this zap your money time and motivation because:
😩After working a 9-5 job, there is little time to correct mistakes
😩After you’ve paid all the bills, there is not enough left over to garden
😩After mistakes like this, your plants turn yellow and die, and you are too tired to try gardening again
The cycle ends for you today.
Okay, so let’s get into this mistake I made:
🌿There are at least 3-5 basil plants that should have been divided.
🌿Because the basil plants are super root bound, they are turning yellow because the roots are too crowded.
🌿Just like you, I thought I should plant whatever is growing in the pot I bought in the store.
I never thought to look inside the pot to see if there are multiple plants growing inside the pot.
Little did I know I was stopping myself from growing a load of basil, skipping the grocery store for basil for over 6 months, saving myself a ton of time and money.
I could have grown enough basil to satisfy my entire family, and to profit from it.
I can stop you from making little mistakes like this, so you can live your dream of self sufficiency, live off your garden, and to create a dream life off the grid.
Or maybe you are an ambitious woman, looking to grow food for your family to leave a legacy besides your career and degrees.
(which you can't even pass down to your kids! But with gardening, you can!)
I have a formula for new, busy gardeners who want to feed their family for one year:
1️⃣ How to set up an optimal gardening environment
2️⃣Set up your garden, so you don’t strain your knees
3️⃣Easy planting plans, so you’ll check on your garden for weeks at a time
4️⃣Ways to earn a side income from what you produce, so you can beat inflation

Do This Now⬇️
You see this under your squash leaf?
Yeah… I didn’t either the first time.
And then my squash went from growing to why is this dying overnight 😅
Those perfectly lined-up eggs?
They’re squash bugs.
And they don’t come alone.
They hatch.
They spread.
They suck the life out of your plant… fast.
Most beginners think:
“Maybe I watered wrong?”
Nope.
It’s this.
Check under your leaves today.
Not tomorrow. Today.
If you see them:
👉 Scrape them off immediately
👉 Or they’ll turn into a full infestation in days
👉 Apply some permethrin insecticide in the morning or in the evening
Send this to someone who’s growing squash before it’s too late 🌿

What I Learned⛔👇🏾
If this helped you, share, save, and comment APP to get my garden pest guide on the mobile app 🐛💾
I've helped over 1,000 women fight pests and grow food without draining their bodies or bank accounts.
I’m in the trenches going to war with pests so you don’t have to 🥬🎉📦
Cabbage worms CHEW plants.
They do NOT suck sap.
They’re the caterpillar stage of the Cabbage White Butterfly, and they:
🐛 chew holes in leaves
🐛 skeletonize brassicas
🐛 hide under leaves while eating
You’ll see holes + green p**p pellets before you see the worm.
What I did wrong:
😫 Planted too many brassicas together
😫 Ignored white butterflies flying around
😫 Didn’t check under leaves
😫 Let tender growth attract them
They multiply FAST.
What I did right:
😀 Checked leaf undersides daily
😀 Hand-picked with tweezers
😀 Added flowering herbs for beneficial wasps
😀 Used row covers early
How to treat them:
⛔ Remove eggs under leaves
⛔ Use row covers
⛔ Spray Bt for caterpillars
⛔ Neem oil early
⛔ Inspect plants often
I have the full pest defense system inside the mobile app.
Because:
❌ Slaving in the garden? NO.
🥬 Growing food for your family? YES.
❌ Mystery pest damage? NEVER.
🥬 Smart gardening from your phone? ALWAYS.

The Harvest Doctor LLC began to take roots while I wrote and defended my comprehensive exam, which was a prerequisite to write my dissertation about women and education. I discovered how women in education started as seeds, unraveling and growing a nurturing/or challenging environments. On a more intimate level, I remembered my mother mowing her bright green lawn and the green beans my great-grandmother used to grow. Then, I discovered that I was, as a tender plant, taking firm root as an educator. My first harvest of organic fruits and vegetables coincided with my harvest as a Ph.D. scholar and a new mother.
