Grow Your Self

Half of American adults are taking some kind of vitamin or supplement, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. That's probably why the global market is expected to reach 250 billion USD by 2032! Instead of each of us spending hundreds of dollars on pills, we can replace pretty much every single one with vegetables pulled from our gardens. Imagine stepping outside and picking the nutrients your body is craving.

In this episode, I'll show you the most popular vitamins and supplements people are buying and how you can replace them with whole foods from your garden. Because whole foods 🥦 still beat pills 💊 every single time.

Check out our planting guide to learn more about how you can grow these foods in your garden: https://gardenary.samcart.com/products/gardenary-planting-method-youtube

The planting possibilities in May are essentially a sneak peak at what's coming in June (Spoiler alert: It's lots of GOOD stuff!). But we're not all going to be putting the same plants in our garden this month. What grows like crazy this month in one zone might totally fail in another.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what you should plant in May for cool, mild, and warm climates. Whether it's still crisp and cool where you live or hot and humid, I've got at least 5 plants that you can plant this month to make the most of the upcoming summer season.

NOTE: You're in a cool climate if you only recently passed or still haven't passed your last frost date (ex. Chicago), a mild climate if your last frost date was a couple of weeks ago (ex. Nashville), and a warm climate if you're already gearing up for hot temps (ex. Houston).

April is a critical month for summer gardening success. If you plant the right plants this month, you can set yourself up for the best summer harvests ever! In this episode, I'll show you 5 plants you should plant this month if you're gardening in a cold, mild, or warm climate, so you know exactly what to do in your garden in April no matter where you live.

NOTE: You're in a cold climate if your last frost date is still about 30 days away (ex. Chicago), a mild climate if your last frost date is just around the corner (ex. Nashville), and a warm climate if you've already passed your last frost date (ex. Houston).

Before I started gardening, I was addicted to food and struggled with a very low self image. It wasn't until I traveled overseas that I saw how growing fresh food can change the way you eat, the way you interact with nature, and the entire rhythm of your day. Taking up gardening changed the way I ate, the way I moved my body, and the way I felt about myself. It literally changed my whole life.

In this episode, I tell you my 10 "hacks" for living a healthier lifestyle that I learned from gardening. These lessons are not about being skinny or having a perfect body. They're about how you FEEL, how much energy you have to get through your day. They're not part of a fad or a diet. They're a lifestyle, and they can change your life too.

Head's up: I talk a lot about 💩 in this episode, not to be offensive or crude. Your gut just plays a huge part in being healthy. Speaking of, watch the video I made about how gardening can help you poop: https://youtu.be/oI77BW8A-18

All right, I'm just going to say it: Potatoes do not belong in your raised beds. Raised beds are the perfect place to grow almost all of your vegetables… And that's true for pretty much everything EXCEPT these guys 🥔🥔🥔

My family and I have been growing potatoes for over 10 years, and we've tried just about every single method. I have a few favorites that I'll tell you about at the end of this video. First, I'll give you my 3 reasons why I don't grow potatoes in my raised beds. Enjoy!

Is growing your own lettuce at home really worth it? With the help of my team member, Sydney, I'm going to break down the actual price of buying grocery store salad versus growing your own.

Growing your own salad includes getting set up with a small raised bed, organic soil, seeds, and water. So how much salad do you have to grow (and eat) to break even? What about to SAVE money on grocery store visits?

These numbers are going to surprise you. They may even change the way you eat salad forever! Tell us in the comments what price comparison you'd like to see next!

March marks the beginning of the gardening season for many of us. Even so, planting in March can be tricky as the weather transitions from winter to spring. Here are my top 5 recommendations for what to plant in each climate—cold, mild, and warm. Get ready for an overflowing spring garden and lots of harvests coming very soon!

NOTE: You're in a cold climate if your last frost date is at least 60 days away (ex. Chicago), a mild climate if your last frost date is later this month or in April (ex. Nashville), and a warm climate if you've already passed or are very close to your last frost date (ex. Houston).

What if I told you it's possible to grow more food in less space with half the effort? As a busy mom of four and a business owner, I wouldn't have been able to make gardening work for me without this planting method. So it's safe to say that the Gardenary planting method completely changed my life. You may be surprised by where I learned this planting method originally. (Spoiler: It didn't come from a gardening book.)

In this episode, I'm going to outline my tried and true, game-changing planting method so you can implement it in your garden, too. Don't worry—there aren't any charts or lists of information you need to memorize about each plant. Actually, most of the things that stress you out about gardening (e.g., pests, disease, chores) are no longer an issue when you plant this way.

If this sounds like something you're down to try, this video is for you!
