Sierra, don’t water your plants during the day - especially the hottest parts of the day, it will fry the roots and kill them. Always water early am or late evening. Can’t wait to see your garden continue to flourish!
Yes! I wanted to comment that too, sometimes the water can even lead to burned holes in the leaves. So definitively better to water them without direct sunlight hitting them right when you do it 😊 love the gardening content 😍
That's interesting, I've always heard you should water your plants at least twice a day if it's really hot and dry out, and you should water them when they get dry in the middle of the day.
@@isthisnametaken6618 If you do have to water during the day, you can. You have to be very careful to not water the plant itself and just the soil at the roots. Easier and better just to water morning or night but not everyone has that luxury. 😊
Hey I have to thank you! You showing us Grace playing and talking has been amazing for my one and half year old. She was born at 28 weeks and is deaf and wears a hearing aid and cochlear implant. She loves talking to Grace and waving at her. She has really improved with her speech because of your videos. So please let Grace know her friend Naomi says hi!
How’s her ASL? Coming to your child and learning ASL is the most loving thing any of us hearing parents can do for our Deaf children. Listening to Deaf people talk about how hard it is to have parents who can’t fully communicate with them & how horribly it’s affecting their self-worth and self-esteem being forced to try and become some thing they’re not from a young age has been life-changing to me--how’s it been for you?
Hey Sierra, my grandma has always told me to avoid watering the plants when the sun is out. It has to be super early or after the sun is down. She is a great gardener so I have always listened to her. 😊
Yeah it's best to water plants in the morning when it's cool. If it's too hot it will shock the plants. And all the water should dry up by the end of the day to avoid root rot. If plants are showing signs of needing additional water or if I wasn't able to in the morning I will water my garden in the cool evening right before sunset. I also try to get the water close to the environment temperature especially for flowers.
Be careful watering your plants in the day when it’s really hot!! You can accidentally fry them. Water before it gets above 80 and then water again in the evening if you’re worried about them drying out. You can also mulch your topsoil to keep it moist! Just check under the mulch every few days to make sure the ground is still moist.
Squashy 🐟 (I shall call him squashy and he shall be mine and he shall be my squashy) Dori- finding Nemo. Also my mawmaw always said you have to talk nice to your plants so when we cheer for it to grow we can say this chant. (Come on Squashy, Come on little Squashy) 🌱💛
In terms of watering, you want to aim to water less frequently but always a lot each time. Aiming to water about 1 inch of water all over the area. What that does is ensure the water goes deep into the soil, encouraging the roots to grow deep and strong. Making sure the water doesn't just evaporate off the top. Also as mentioned in a previous comment, never water in the full sun as the water droplets on the leaves will act as a magnify glass and can burn the plants; so always early morning or late evening ! Good Luck xox
Sierra, I know this is a late comment, but seeing the life you have built for yourself, your husband, and your baby is so beautiful. I'm a longtime fan and I can only hope one day I can live with the radiance you do!
Just want to take a moment to say how much I appreciate your transparency and your wholesomeness. Love watching your videos for the past 6(ish) years! Keep being you! 💕
U and grace are so sweet and cute, she’s so lucky to have u as a mom! Also I’m totally feeling “Greeny the Green Zucchini” and for the squash, maybe….Squish the Squash, or Squish Squash
I love that you chose to garden with Grace bc you enjoyed spending this time wiith your dad as a child and now he's helping you build your garden for your daughter
I love watching you're vlogs. Can't wait for my life to end up something like yours. A loving family, a kid and a house. A job you love and PLANTS WITH NAMES🤪😍 I'm kind of living for Greeny the Green Zucchini🤣
Grace listening to you and Stephen read books is so sweet! You should see if your local public library does any read alouds or anything for babies! Seems like something Grace would enjoy.
Sierra "So who came up with this way of planting?" That would be Native Americans and Aztecs 🙌🏼 ❤️ As a Kate or Katie, I'm rooting for my namesake seedlings! Also, yay for tomatoes!
We use a root "hormone" when transplanting seedlings or root cuttings. Also, we only water when the sun is not too hot, mornings and evenings! We made enough marinara sauce from our garden to last us this entire year, we also had peppers for the year as well. AND, many of our friends and neighbors received baskets of veggies throughout the summer!!💖
As a Katie from Arkansas, I feel very represented in this vlog lol Sad to say that my garden isn’t doing as well as yours. We had a big hail storm and it pretty much ruined everything :(
The garden beds look amazing. A cool family activity could be painting the outside of the raised beds and going all out with Grace. I hope to grow some of my own vegetables and fruits one day when I have my own house ❤️ so I will be taking notes of your journey 💖
I raised roughly 200lbs of zucchini in a 4x4 gardening box last year off of 4 plants. 😂 you may have planted them a little too close together but they should do great! Honestly, the best decision I made was less water (every other day) and watering at dusk when it wasn't too hot.
Pro tip… get soil from a garden supply center. They have organic garden soil/compost by the yard. Barrow a friends truck and a half yard would fill those beds for under $20.
I absolutely love how Sierra and Stephen ask Grace to hand them things that she's holding, rather than just rip them out of her hand. That's so rare to see, and it's so wonderful that they're treating her with the same respect ypu would treat an adult with.
I didn’t realize how expensive gardening could get, wow! It’s been so fun seeing you start a garden just for the joy it, seeing how excited you are about it makes me happy ☺️
You need to leave the soil to settle for a week before planting Also water in the morning or late afternoon or early evening. As you we burn the plants watering when its hot
When u were talking about the naming the squash and Zucchini Reminded me of Finding NEMO when Marlin n Coral were picking baby names And He said ONE CAN BE NEMO but MOST OF THEM MARLIN JR. LOL CUZ der was TOO MANY to name
Growing your own food is one of the most rewarding things you can do! My garden brings me so much joy. I only wish I had yalls perfect weather! Squash name suggestion: Gourd-on Ramsay (squash=gourd family)
My bell peppers took FOREVER to sprout too! I almost lost hope for them this year. I love watching your gardening video. You’ve convinced me to order those garden beds! 🪴 👩🌾
For your gardening - you should check out San Diego Co - Harvest! They are a local non profit here in San Diego that works with home owners to use any extra gardening space to provide fresh produce for food insecure families and communities here!!
Garden tip from someone living in hot Florida. I tend to my garden super early like for sure no later than 10am or closer to sunset. Last thing you need is a heat stroke or to get dehydrated stay safe and hydrated ma’am. 🥰🥰
Where I am is 51 and rainy for the day. Sometimes I get so jealous of all the warm weather you get...no way I could start planting seeds now without the threat of frost.
Don't worry about your peppers! They just have a super long germination cycle, they also will only germinate when it is warm. I'm sure your heat wave is helping them
You can always lessen the cost of filling raised beds by adding leaves, grass clippings, wood chips or compost underneath the layer of potting soil if you have plants that don't need a ton of depth. Saved me hundreds over the years!
I think about this every time I watch a new vlog but I just want to say how incredible it has been watching you become such a wonderful mom to baby Grace. I have been a huge fan for such a long time so to see you go through such a tumultuous journey to now being a mama, it is just so great to see. Rambling a little but I just wanted to share that
The book stuff is so cute! It warms my heart! I love that dog was her first word, as an animal lover it's so sweet. Also, my partner and I live off Amazon Fresh and Target drive-up for groceries. We only go to the store if we need something unavailable at the two.
Loving all the garden prep, make me excited to the weather to be nice enough in my climate to get planting! Prepare for your squash and zucchini plants to be giant!!! The squash specifically is a vining plant, so they will need tons of room!
We actually just set up some raised beds in our yard and then had the opposite problem of your heat wave! It unseasonably snowed for 2 days (Utah weather)!

Zucchini name idea that keeps with the current theme: Danny Zuchinnio (ala Danny Zuko from Grease)
everyone talking about the garden but i can’t get over how adorable and funny grace’s “mad dash” to stephen was😭

I agree on this. My mom is a garden architect and watering in the morning is the best.
I water at night with miracle grow
First thing I wanted to say too. The water actually works like a magnifying glass and burns the plans.
It could "boil" the seeds!

For the yellow squash I though of - yellow squasmarine like yellow submarine😂
And the zucchini- zuccasourus!

I love the gentle, kind energy your dad gives off! The gardening moments were so sweet.
Oh my goodness! The way Grace always points and gets so excited when Stephen walks by is just too precious!

I think a 3rd raised bed would balance the space out :) (rule of 3's)!
oops i commented this before seeing the mounds lol. disregard.

I love watching the garden grow! The raised beds look great!
Loved the wholesome father-daughter gardening content :) also totally rooting for zucc-efron to take quick root!
The garden content has been the most wholesome addition to the vlogs and I love getting updates on it

Grace's hair has really lightened! Her little laugh is the best sound in the world!
It’s probably too late but we came up with George Squashington…pleasingly patriotic!
Grace’s laugh give me so much joy!
I like seeing the relationship with your dad! Shows a different role you have in your life!

posh the yellow squash!!
Grace laughing is the sweetest thing ever!!! So pure and cute
You could get soil delivered by a local company usually. Put a tarp down and they’ll dump it there. It’s usually cheaper than bags
Aw I love seeing you garden with your dad like when you were a kid. I’m sure he’s loving it as well!
Grace waving to the lemon was the cutest😊

Dog was my first word too! (well, it was "goggy") LOL Grace knows what's up
Grace’s laugh KILLS me 😂😂😂 what a freakin cutie
Aww seeing grace in the pool was so sweet
You need to leave the soil to settle for a week before planting
Also water in the morning or late afternoon or early evening.
As you we burn the plants watering when its hot

For the squash, you could name it George Squashington
My bell peppers took FOREVER to sprout too! I almost lost hope for them this year. I love watching your gardening video. You’ve convinced me to order those garden beds! 🪴 👩🌾
Can't wait to see how your garden flourishes.
Sierra: “it’s cooled down a bit.. it’s like 85° today..”
Me, looking out my window at the snow falling in upstate NY: ❄️👁👄👁❄️
Bell peppers are VERY slow growers so don’t be worried! 😊
You could also try grow bags next to the raised beds. I saw the epic gardener use them and he’s in southern Ca too.

Garden tip from someone living in hot Florida. I tend to my garden super early like for sure no later than 10am or closer to sunset. Last thing you need is a heat stroke or to get dehydrated stay safe and hydrated ma’am. 🥰🥰
Watching your dad helping with the planting was so sweet and wholesome!!
You definitely need to mulch the gardens to help insulate and lock in water. 😊
After watching this I want to start my own garden so much! Lol.
Lil ms. Gracie is such a happy baby, ah I’m so happy for your lil family!
Where I am is 51 and rainy for the day. Sometimes I get so jealous of all the warm weather you get...no way I could start planting seeds now without the threat of frost.
I get this. 20 and snowing... yah...
Don't worry about your peppers! They just have a super long germination cycle, they also will only germinate when it is warm. I'm sure your heat wave is helping them
"Green Lantern" for the green zucchini, and "Yellow Brick Road" for the yellow squash :)

You're a gardener. I love the blue water glass.
It's so cute watching her dad teach her and her starting her first garden. It's very endearing.
You are slowly inspiring me to start my own garden! :)
Seeing you do things with your parents is just so heartwarming!!!
Heat wave?! I’m watching this as we’ve got snow and it’s 27 in Minnesota. Kinda jealous
Zuko the Zucchini could be named for Danny Zuko or for our favorite angsty teen from Avatar: The Last Airbender
awe,Grace is adorable!! Happy good friday !! 😊🐰🙏✝️
I’m so invested in sierra’s garden
Heat wave, that nice… here in Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 still snowing ❄️, we are patiently waiting for spring 😭😭😭
Hi! I love your videos. They bring a smile to my face
Squash: posh squash
We actually just set up some raised beds in our yard and then had the opposite problem of your heat wave! It unseasonably snowed for 2 days (Utah weather)!
I recommend only watering early in the morning or in the evening when the sun is less intense so that you don’t end up burning up your seedlings
Your so wonderful with grace. I love how you talk to her❤️❤️❤️
Omg that mom and daughter jam session was my favourite 😍
Zelena for zucchini... Once Upon a Time's version of Elphaba and she's green n the character starts with Z....
No cucumbers? I love cucumbers and they are easy to grow. 😃🥒
You could start a compost pile or bin now so you can save money later 💡
