Healing my body isn’t just about resting. It’s also about feeding it the nutrients it needs. I’ve come home eating COMPLETELY different, the way I should be. Eating for healing, eating for life. My amazing DIL-to-be ordered breakfast for me from @juice_pod_ in Swedesboro. The Superfood Açaí bowl has almonds, cacao nibs, strawberries, goji berries, bee pollen, hemp seeds, and my chosen Nutella. It was followed up with their cold-pressed Beech Beet Juice (beets, celery, apple, cucumber, lemon & ginger). I felt so energized after this! I got my walker out & did some laps around the room. Last night we went through seeds and she was able to choose some to seed start for her & my son while I drew out plans for my back garden. I’m growing all of the herbs & grains I can to keep healing strong throughout this year of rehabilitation. #acaibowl #juicepodswedesboro #superfoods #coldpressed #foodismedicine #plantsarehealing #spinalfusionrecovery #tlifspinalrecovery #tlif #healingfromtheinside (at South Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co2lNU4vTWe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When I saw the squirrels had meticulously dug up my saffron crocus bulbs this spring, I wanted to hunt them down. But wow! I have one, who I have of course named ‘Harry Potter’ because it’s the one who lived!

That saffron is now in the fridge & im trying to figure out what to make with it! I usually buy my saffron from a little Eastern European shop in Ann Arbor, but I actually have some FRESH! I can’t waste this moment!

What do you recommend?! I only have 3 littles. I need a recipe where I can SAVOR this fresh flavor! Hopefully next year (if the squirrel who shall not be named) I’ll be able to do this again. 💜❤️💜❤️💜

Ever since it occurred to me how much being in my garden brought me joy, I’ve been slightly obsessed with pursuing research on the links between gardening and wellbeing. As I was finishing my Ph.D., days on the computer were long. I sat mostly idle in quiet spaces, tapping away at my plastic keyboard as I felt the burn of the computer screen light shining back on my face often…

Velvet Leaf Bronze Micans Philodendron (Philodendron scandens f. micans) getting a good soak in the sink

I’ve been so bad at watering my plants… they’re so spread out over my apartment and none are right at eyesight, I lose track of the time. I need to get a paper calendar and keep track of when I actually water them so it doesn’t get so out of hand

To Every Season...or Welcome Winter?

To Every Season…or Welcome Winter?

As my love of gardening has grown, I’ve come to despise cold weather.  Watching plants shrivel and die is akin to watching someone you love walk away.  Sure…you know they’ll be back, but the knowledge of their departure hits you in the feels.  Although I know winter is a time for planning (and indoor gardening), there’s nothing like digging your fingers into soil, warmed by the sun, as a breeze…

How to Know When Your Tomato Plant has Died | Brie’s Tips

It’s hard to tell whether your plant simply needs a little TLC or should probably head to the grave. As much as we love reviving plants, sometimes you need to let your tomato plant head to plant-heaven. Plant expert and ‘foodscaping’ genius Brie Arthur gives her advice on how to know when your tomato plant has died. “Tomatoes love the spring. As the days increase in length and temperatures rise through the season, they flourish. However, come mid-summer, they tire out. “Some of the signs that a tomato plant is dying are browning or yellow leaves that curl up, reduction in flowering and fruit set, and slow development of new vegetation. If you see these signs, it might be time to let your plant go.” If you’re seeing any of these symptoms, consider replanting your Gardenuity grow bag with one of our refresher kits. They come with new plants (specifically suited for the season and your locale), new micronutrients, and a top layer of custom compost. You can simply pull out your old tomato plant and replant! Soon, you’ll have a new delicious new harvest to munch on.

So, yesterday I received an amazing email from one of my students, who is also one of my @bullockgarden Club students letting me know that all 3 of her daughters spent the day getting their hands dirty & built their home garden! They are absolutely amazing & did a FABULOUS job! Education is so much more than what is presented within the confines of a classroom. These young #gardeners had to apply a combination of skills to create this! Well done on your #garden! *Photos by Alicia McHugh* #buildgardens #schoolgardens #juniormastergardener #bullockgarden #thefutureofgreenliving #plantaseedgrowafuture
