In this vlog, I harvest a variety of vegetables such as purple plum radishes, swiss chard, snap peas, arugula, and tatsoi. I also sew mesh bags to keep grasshoppers and other pests off of the plants at the garden. I got some flowers to plant on the balcony at my apartment. I'm hoping they will attract more pollinators to my small balcony garden. Then, I show you how I add more fresh garden greens into my meals while cooking up some swiss chard.
👋🏻 Hello! My name is Em. Welcome to my corner of the internet. I put out weekly vlogs here that cover a variety of topics. My hobby is having a lot of hobbies. I love to work with my hands. Some themes you may encounter: cooking, cleaning, preserving food, gardening, crocheting, sewing, & various other hobbies I've collected throughout my life. None of this is without an end goal: having a homestead of our own one day. With a giant garden. More dogs. A greenhouse. Trees. Tons of trees. And dirt that is our very own. I hope you enjoy watching my silly little videos. 🫶🏻 - Em, Lavender Moon Homestead
