Click the link in my bio to start growing the easiest garden you ever had in your life.
Make sure you get a compass and look for north or east. You can get a compass on your iphone or android.
You want to have a garden in the north or east part of your yard, because it gets a lot less sunlight.
And you won't have to worry about the sun burning up you and your garden.

The formula👇
I left the abusive cycle of store bought soil, plant food, and pests infestations that left money down the drain.

I know it's hard when you spend time and money setting up a garden--only to go outside and see yellow and brown plants or your garden turned into a buffet for pests.
But your garden keeps attracting pests and animals like deer because you follow all the basic gardening rules!
You are told to buy the soil, read the zone maps, plant your garden by mother's day, and follow the plant spacing rules.
I teach gardeners how to break all these rules and end the toxic cycle⛔
🌿You'll start your garden in April
🌿You'll need compost, potting soil, sand, worm castings and fish emussions for leafy greens
🌿You'll grow the EASY plants that you can leave alone for weeks at a time
🌿You'll grow determinent tomatoes to reduce the amount of labor
🌿You'll include pollinators, flowers, succulents, + herbs to mimic nature + distract pests and garden animals like deer
🌿You'll ignore the plant spacing rules
🌿You'll ignore the USDA zone map because its for farmers and not for gardeners
If you are ready to end the cycle, comment the word "APP" below and I'll send you the link to my app-- a step by step platform to show you how to start your easy garden from scratch--with little work.
See you on the inside! You can do this!🎉🥕

As you can see, I am not over here sharing gimmicks, tricks, and fluff for the algorithm!
My 2:2:2 gardening strategy REALLY works!
What is 2:2:2??
2 different herbs
2 different flowers
2 different textured plants like succulents
If you include this in your veggie garden, the animals will be confused and avoid your garden!
I am not saying they won't take a bite or two.
What I am saying is that you can throw them in a state of confusion where they will give up , killing your garden.
A garden that doesn't have flowers , herbs and texture plants are in danger of being completely destroyed.
Leaving you feeling defeated and wasting money!

🍅Water (2 gallons a week)
🍅Soil (sand, worm castings, and compost)farm
🍅Fertilizer is OK (tomatoes are heavy feeders)
🍅Pruning
Do not skip this step🛑
🍅Cut off or prune the flowers for the first 2 weeks so the tomato can establish a good root system before the fruit is formed.
🍅Strongly consider growing patio tomatoes or determinate tomatoes.

Signs I Ignored👇
I’ve helped 1,000+ gardeners of all ages, but especially busy women with no gardening experience turn into expert gardeners in the last 4 years!
So, I know you can get rid of leafminers and get rid of them for good.
But first, please follow me and help me get to 20k by June 2026! I cannot do this without you!!!🎉🥕
Then, save and share this reel if it was helpful to you or someone you know! Tag them below!💾
Here are the 3 signs that I ignored before the leafminers attacked my snow peas.👇
A leafminer is a tiny garden pest that looks like a fly. They create tunnels in between the plant tissues. The damage looks like white tunnels on the leaf.
🛑Sign 1: My snow peas were not grabbing onto the trellis tight enough
🛑Sign 2: My snow peas color looked a little off
🛑Sign 3. My snow peas seem to be wilting, but I thought it was due to a lack of water and sunlight
Several weeks later, I noticed the leafminer damage and I treated it organically with a heavy stream of water. Neem-based products work good, too!!!

Critical details here🤯
First, be sure to like+save +follow I’d love to help you SAVE money from your back yard!
I’ve done a lot of succession planting for the past 2 years and I noticed I’ve been saving so much money.
First, succession planting means you are NOT going to plant your garden one time, and then you are done. That’s not the way it works.
Succession planting is:
🔑Continuous planting
🔑Planting new foods as old ones are harvested
🔑Maximizes use of space and time
🔑Helps maintain a steady harvest throughout the Fall season
But let me tell you how this has saved me literally hundreds of dollars.
🔑I wait until the plants go on sale, then maximize the use of space in my garden
🔑I am already skipping the produce section for all the herbs, lettuce, and kale--even in November!
🔑I’ve saved on mulch because I am covering empty spaces with discounted plants is kinda like “mulching”
🔑I won’t need expensive fertilizers or pesticides because succession planting is like crop rotation.
🔑I make sure to buy pots that have multiple plants in it
Now, let's talk about you.
✨✨✨✨
Imagine this with me…
You have your own garden that offsets your grocery budget like me, you have automated to your garden the cheap way, and you don't even worry about pests because the discounted flowers you planted camouflage your food–confusing deer and critters.
You can do this!!!

Petunias Can Turn Super Ugly⬇️
Cover them at 45 degrees so they keep their beauty! If they are in a frost, the petunia will be done for it, but the new growth might come back.
If you don't protect them at 45 degrees, the leaves will be crisp, and the plant will turn ugly throughout the summer season.
If you are like me and you live in a cool climate, cover the petunias with a plastic bag if temperatures drop to the 40s.

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.
