Why I plant half dead marigolds⬇️

🌼Half dead marigolds are cheaper and they often go on sale.

🌼Plant them in compost and worm castings, they will come back!

🌼 The dying marigold may look limp and dead, but the dying plant's roots may very well be alive!

🌼The marigold stems have to show some signs of green.

🍅 Tomatoes & To***co: Same Family, Big Problem

Tomatoes and to***co both belong to the Solanaceae (nightshade family). That means diseases and pathogens carried on to***co can easily spread to your tomato plants—even from cigarette residue.

🍅 To***co carries tomato-killing viruses
🍅 Cigarette crumbs infect tomato leaves
🍅 Ni****ne residue stresses tomato plants

Protect your tomatoes!!!!!!!

🥕 Loose, fluffy soil only
🌱 Direct sow carrot seeds
💧 Keep soil evenly moist
☀️ Full sun grows sweeter roots
📏 Thin seedlings for space
🪱 Remove rocks for straight roots

⏳ Harvest when shoulders show

What I Almost Did Wrong👇🏾

First, if this was helpful to you, save and share this post💾 and comment the word “APP” to learn how to plant your food to feed a family so you can 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 parsley plants that should have been divided.

🌿Because the parsley plants are super root bound, they are turning yellow.

🌿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.

Little did I know I was stopping myself from growing a load of parsley, skipping the grocery store for parsley for over 6 months, saving myself a ton of time and some money.

I could have grown enough parsely to satisfy my entire family, and to profit from it.

While I am all for breaking plant spacing rules, these roots will get too crowded, and basil won't grow to its fullest potential.

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:

1️⃣ How to set up an optimal gardening environment and treat pests and diseases

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 build and install raised garden beds

Comment the word “APP” and you can quicly learn how to grow a ton of food from your pocket.

Big leaves protects the good stuff🍃

Gently gather and secure them with a rubber band. This keeps heavy leaves from crushing the broccoli head, improves airflow, and reduces rot and pest damage.

Simple garden hack.
Stronger broccoli heads.
Less stress. 🌱

This isn't just another gardening app that you'll download and never use, ON DEMAND is the exact roadmap that will help you go from beginner to expert, even if you’ve never grown a garden before. ⏰ 🎉🥕

Of course you need to know plant families. If not, you’ll attract pests and repeat soil nutrient mistakes. And it won't be because you don't have a green thumb.

But how would you have the time to learn this?

Comment "APP" to check it out.

After 10 years in gardening, I've learned this about us:

⏰ 🎉🥕 we are the first generation to not know how to garden , but we don't make time to learn

⏰ 🎉🥕 we have the best intentions, but life gets the way, and the garden dies

⏰ 🎉🥕 we doom scroll content, but we don't remember a thing

⏰ 🎉🥕 we are sick of watching gardening youtube videos

⏰ 🎉🥕 gardening apps are okay, but they don't teach us anything about gardening. So we download them and they never see the light of day

⏰ 🎉🥕 downloading ebooks takes up way to much space on our phone

⏰ 🎉🥕 reading books and taking courses and gardening feels like too much pressure

Let's face it, we consume knowledge totally different now- and that includes gardening.

I wanted to create a learning space for people who can take the app with them to the nursery, the hardware store, and outside with them.

I envision people learning to garden on the go, get lessons like plant families, while also learning how to build raised garden beds and learning ways pests eat your garden.

I am so excited for you now that you will be able to grow a load of food, without all the work, and you’ll become an expert gardener instantly–right from your phone.

Story of the Harvest: About

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.

The Harvest Doctor LLC is committed to the values of creativity, sustainability, and hope in all that we do. We recognize that providing education on how to create kitchen gardens to grow food and creative aesthetics is a human right—the right to grow as tender plants, bearing fruitful harvests. While creating new green spaces through the development of raised beds, kitchen gardens, flower gardens, and community gardens, The Harvest Doctor LLC seeks to increase household access to organic foods and green spaces.

The Harvest Doctor LLC Mission Statement

The mission of The Harvest Doctor LLC is to foster creativity, sustainability, and hope through the growth of green environments; increase knowledge about gardens and urban farms, and to serve a diverse customer base in Lucas County.
