Mind Body Garden

In this episode I go on a quick rant about how I'm grateful for the immense amount of documenting I have been doing and how it gives you perspective of your life, the changes that happen, and most importantly you can capture those joyful moments in time. I love how my videos and content aren't solely about the gardrn, but are beginning to weave in some portions of my life.. and it'll only get better as we learn to vlog better and document our journey of life

Today's podcast is a nice little rant about expectations vs reality and how you have to balance out your own ego with perspective - enjoy & would love to hear your thoughts!

In this episode I talk about what I'm planting early in the season. Part of the early planting is the amazing weather we're having in Ohio, but also because I'm more confident to take a risk because of the experience and knowledge I've built over the years. I also talk about the drip irrigation system that we got setup over the weekend and how it'll be such a game changer - saving water, time, money, and ultimately producing healthier plants. This will also be assisted by the Chapin Hydrofeed fertigation system that will be setup with the drip line. So pumped to get this garden on the gains train 💪🌱

In this episode I dive into the challenges I've had with seed starting this year and what I would do differently in the future. I also talk about the different styles of plug trays I'm testing out, fertilizers I'm using for seedlings, and plans for the CSA this year. Let me know what other gardening questions you need answered and I'm happy to help 🤗

Lately I've been obsessed with Time - how do I make the most of the time I'm given? What can I do to find more time? I think there's a ton of time we can steal back from time suckers like complaining, debating taking action, and doing busy work. I think it's also important to realize that it's not simply about the quantity of time - QUALITY is the ultimate benchmark ⏳🏋️‍♂️⌛

My garden has mostly been functional but this year I'm focusing on creativity and aesthetics - in the garden & online. In this episode I start talking about creativity, art, and some updates on my seedlings growing vertically in the grow rack I have set up with LED grow lights. Towards the second half I start talking about being real and how thats the most important thing, not followers, likes, or vanity metrics. The beautiful thing about social media is that it allows you to connect with people on a deeper level - it isn't the amount of followers you have, but the quality of the relationships you cultivate and the positive impact you can have by simply being yourself and sharing your truths with the world 🙏

So it looks like my last few podcasts have been cut short due to a bug with Anchor (I'm guessing because it was only when I recorded within the app), but here's a full-length podcast talking about the issue and what I began talking about in the past 2 podcasts. After talking about that and the garden, I start diving into more motivational/psychological thoughts - and thats what I love about the morning podcasts - I'm so amped for the day and want to spread that energy to everyone I can! ⚡

Some people are constantly selling, everything is "buy this" "read this" "do this thing for me" - and on the other end of the spectrum, some people can never ask for the sale. I fall into the "not being able to ask" category, but I think I have been slowly getting better. Thanks to my brother Adam for giving me a reality check and helping me to believe in myself and my business - and hopefully this will help expand my product offering and grow my business exponentially 📈

In this episode we dive into seed starting and weekend garden projects of transplanting kale & baby choi then covering with a frost blanket. I also talk about the veggie box subscriptions (CropBox), how last year was underwhelming and how I'm pivoting this year to set my business up for success. Being an entrepreneur is all about adapting to challenges and overcoming them - and thats just what we're gonna do!
