Garden update: thriving… but under attack 😅
This week’s haul brought to you by grit, sweat… and a watering can because WHERE is the rain?! Plus, I had to do some tilling because the ground is sooo hard.

Despite the dry spell - she's holding it down. I've been harvesting lettuce and it's been salads, smoothies, kale chips all week!

BUT…

Something’s digging in my rows, and I’m pretty sure I’ve got a ground hornet situation…

Respectfully—eviction notices are being drafted as we speak. 🫡

Because what’s NOT happening?
Me being scared to step foot in the garden I put so much, sweat, and time into.

Left for Aruba with baby plants… came home to a garden flexing on me. The leafy Greens are ready to harvest!

The biggest surprise? White potatoes!
No clue what kind they are—just some pantry potatoes that started sprouting, so I cut them into a few pieces, tossed them in the dirt, and let nature do its thing.

Every. Single. Piece. Popped. Up.

My first time growing store-bought potatoes and they understood the assignment. From island vibes to harvest highs, the garden really said welcome home.

It’s still growth season! Was supposed to be growing muscle, but ended up growing endurance instead. Guess cardio is part of the harvest too. 💪🏾😅

That's all folks! This wraps up my 2025 growing season! A simple but powerful takeaway from this season. Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean things aren't moving, changing, or growing. Do the work - then, Be still, Be quiet, Be grateful, Let it all work out. 🙏🏾
