    I am so glad your plants are growing! To see everything grow says so much about you Sarah. The dedication and work you have put in to your allotment are turning out great rewards. I am excited to see when you have to harvest and produce your own food.
    The wigwam is a wonderful addition for the children to enjoy reading. Fantastic idea Sarah! I am truly amazed about how many things you accomplish with much energy. Keep up the amazing work you are doing.
    Have a wonderful week ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

    Everything growing so well so far. By now i bet it looks really lush. Green leaves sprouting everywhere. You should feel very proud of your achievements. What a beautiful place to take the children. Having pow wows in the tepee.
    Mmm i can taste those potatoes. They will be lovely.
    When your pumpkins and squashes grow, I'd love to know what you do with them.
    I love making pumpkin soup and i usually roast squash, though that quite often hoes into making a good hearty vegetable soup too.

    Sarah , if the chance of frost is gone you don't need the cones. But if you don't get much rain & have hot dry days ... you really need to give all your plants a good saturation/ soaking of water ! Btw , if you eat bananas , put the skins in a gal. bucket of water & let them soak 3 days . Add that banana water to your watering cans and use it on your garden ! Its a natural way to give things like potassium and things like that to help them grow . Research it to see what nutrients the peels have in them .also , I threw egg shells & banana peels right in my garlic bed thru the year & planted in the fall & also used that water on them and my hardneck garlic are as big as a mans palm ! I couldn't believe it !

    I like your Mick. Just remember don’t overcrowd your plantings. Soaking the seeds was an excellent suggestion. We are having moderate drought conditions so my garden is suffering. I would like to give it a good soaking but conserving water is a priority. The corn in the local farmers fields are in worse shape than my garden. We are watering a bit but the garden needs several hours of soaking. I would rather lose my small plot than to be on restricted water usage.

    Some say not to plant pumpkin and winter squash near each other b/c they can end up tasting exactly the same ! While others say it's no problem & can be beneficial to each other ! Hope you don't end up with funky tasting squash or pumpkins ! I do know you can plant butternut & acorn squash next to one another w/o any problems ( I did two years ago and they were both fine ) . Wishing you good luck & a good crop !

    Sarah, are you limited on how much water you are allowed to use? Rooted plants will be happiest if the ground is watered to a depth of about 6” (half a gallon per square foot). Seeds will want more water too.

    I love watching your videos but I have a concern. You say at the start of each video that you are a novice and are looking for help and advice I think there is a flaw in this due to you being weeks behind. By the time we see your video any help, guidance, comments are pointless as the error (if any) is done and dusted. Just a thought x not that I have noticed any errors, I too am a novice but any advice I get would need to be immediate in order to successfully achievable ❤
