There's something very empowering about being connected to strong roots. I read a quote yesterday. It read, "don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant." These pictures came from one of our gardens. Our first crop was well taken care of from the beginning to the very end. But because of the sun which was out of our control most of our crops we're destroyed. We planted again with the same GMO free heirloom seeds. We did the exact same thing in terms of care and look what we got!!!! Similarities with Gardening and Raising Children We rely on three important things for our seeds to emerge (water, oxygen and proper temperatures). As a gardener I can’t supply all of these but I can influence them since I have control of the water supply and can choose my planting date but I’m also reliant upon the weather for much of it! It's SO Similar gardening! we’ve never stopped nurturing, teaching, feeding and parenting them. We try our best to provide the best for them everyday. I’m thankful that God made parenting full of many rewards while raising children and that it isn’t just right at the end of the season when you can harvest the fruit. SOMETIMES WE get to a point where we JUST HAVE TO TRUST THE work that we've done as parents. Some thrive faster. You have some that just grow different but still contain the good dyuff. Others that may experience stunted growth and development. And of course there's always those that get mixed up in the maturity process. They get big but internally something is missing. Persevere PARENTS! It's worth the effort. Plant good seeds. Feed them well. Do your very best. Listen to them. Get help if needed to get past the weeds and sun burns of life. Everyday is another opportunity to improve. Celebrate success, and repeat.- #qcsupermom P.S. From time to time we will make mistakes. Just besure to learn from them for the next time. 🌿🍉🥦🍅🍆🍠🥑🥒🥜🥕🥔👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Tags: #plantingTheSeeds #letthemgrow #RemoveWeeds #matured #parenting #gardening #WePlant #WeWait #Germinate #uglyfruit (at Charlotte, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDEaO2VhnmC/?igshid=lww2d0v97wio

How To Mulch With SeaWeed- All You Need To Know

Great things about seaweed for gardening

Accumulating seaweed for the backyard garden happens to be a favorite getaway for our family. We all usually take a smaller skiff to a local beach and load up with as many sacks as we can safely transport home. It’s fun for children, as they can participate as well as an adult, or they can simply enjoy the beach while we gather the seaweed. As we fill up our sacks, our thoughts drift to the many benefits this will bring our garden.

Saves water, keeps soil moist at ground level

The purpose of any mulch is to keep garden soil from drying out at the surface. And by avoiding moisture from evaporating, mulch reduces the need for watering. The practice of mulching is essential in areas where conditions are hot and dry.

Eliminates the need to weed

Mulch is useful in that it blocks new damaging weeds from sprouting. Because the soil beneath the mulch remains to be moist, any weeds which often do manage to develop from the mulch are straightforward to pick.

Repels slugs in addition to other infestations

Slugs usually are immediately repelled by a couple of things – salt in addition to sharp-edged materials. Seaweed has a natural salt content which resists slugs, and within the couple of days of application this dries and becomes really crispy. Slugs do not really like “crispy” surfaces, because the sharp salty sides cut into the smooth body tissue. While a few mulches may provide concealing spots for slugs, earwigs and other pests, seaweed mulch does not possess this disadvantage.

Enriches the particular ground

Seaweed is the broad spectrum fertilizer that will is rich in advantageous trace minerals and bodily hormones that stimulate plant development. Seaweed is high within carbohydrates which are important building blocks in developing plants, and low within cellulose therefore it breaks straight down readily. Seaweed shares simply no diseases with land vegetation.

Boosts lethargic vegetation

Seaweed fertilizer contains a good amount of completely chelated (ready to use) micro-nutrients which may become readily absorbed by vegetation without further chemical decomposition needed.

Helps lighten the particular ground

Compacted soil may benefit as seaweed mulch breaks down. Since the materials becomes incorporated in to the ground, aeration is improved plus the soil becomes a lot more crumbly and moist.

Will not contain weed seeds, in contrast to bark mulch

Two many years ago we used industrial bark mulch to protect our garden pathways with regard to the purpose of obstructing weeds. Today, these paths are sprouting horsetail, a good invasive weed which might be difficult to eliminate. Seaweed does not provide any foreign weed seed products into your garden.

It’s free!

But what about salt? Is this a trouble?

We have been applying seaweed as mulch regarding many years and have not necessarily seen any adverse result, such as a sodium overload in the dirt. In our region we all have a lot of rain. Should you be worried about sodium, ocean weed might be distribute out above the front yard and washed out with the hose. Needless to state this is not the great and concerning issue if a person is usually using fresh water lake bud.
