I’m going to miss all the greenery & bright colors, but it’s time to plan for fall. Hope you’ll join me!

Garden update part 2. I wish I could collect bigger bunches of flowers, but I feel so bad about taking them away from the pollinators. Anyone else go through this? 

Join me for part 1 of my mini garden tour/update at the end of July.

I’ve been battling groundhogs and a rabbit (RIP) in my garden this year. Check out my latest video on YouTube (@NJGardenTeacher) to see an update on my newest beds and the damage that little stinker did. Please subscribe and let me know how your garden is growing.

The rain had its way with my peas. Now it’s time to do something!

After almost 2 straight weeks of rain, we have pea pods! I’m so excited! #peas #homegarden #garden #gardensky #gardening

Chronic pain adaptation for a day of weeding #gardening #gardensky #blackgardeners

In this video, I’m finishing up my brand new flower bed, and taking you along every step of the way! #gardensky #gardening #blackgardeners

Worm care tip: freeze your scraps, fluff the bedding, and bury the buffet.
Happy worms = rich compost = thriving garden.
It’s science… and a little bit of love.

Follow along as I build a brand-new flower bed using what I already had. No fancy supplies, no big spending, just creativity, determination, and a whole lot of love for the garden.

I’m in my 50s & currently navigating perimenopause, spinal degradation, chronic pain, & reduced mobility with my hands. #Gardening isn’t just a hobby for me. It’s an act of resistance, & therapy with Mother Earth herself. It’s so important to be able to find tools to adapt & modify gardening.

Growing peas update! 🫛 I can’t wait to see what the next four weeks brings. Hopefully plentiful harvests!🫛 #gardensky #gardening #blackgardeners

Advice needed! What flowers should I plant? I’m more of a veggie garden girl so I need ideas about what I can grow from seed in NJ. #gardensky #gardeners #gardening

Potato update! 🥔 They’re doing so great!

Time for pole beans, those natural climbers that love to spiral upwards! Using a pole tent provides vertical support on all sides and allows for air circulation. I always add twine around my pool tent as an added layer for support for my plants. This will be so beautiful once everything is in bloom.

Peas climb BEST on a grid trellis! Their tiny tendrils need small gaps to grip, unlike beans that wrap poles. More airflow, easier harvests, and NO flopping! Try bamboo + twine for the perfect setup. #GardenSky #Gardening #PeasPlease

Let’s do some weeding & get rid of the invasive field thistle (or Canada thistle). #gardening #gardensky #invasives
