Excited to return to not watching Jimmy Kimmel because I don’t want to watch Jimmy Kimmel and not because the government told me I can’t watch Jimmy Kimmel

Do you plant fall onions too? Check out my new video & leave a comment there with the onion you grow or when you plant yours! youtu.be/ZXqAz1sseao?... #onions #FallGardening #gardener #BlackGardener

Below is text in yellow and black: “Growing with NJGardenTeacher” with a small red YouTube play button icon. On the right side, there’s a garden bed with plants, three large Walla Walla onions, and a tilted calendar showing the month of September.

This is a white-banded spider. these little creatures can camouflage to look like the plant they are sitting on so they can ambush their prey, which is usually pollinators. This little monster was right by the yellow flowers from my pigeon pea plant.

Sungold tomatoes never make it in the house because they’re so delicious. This is probably half of the harvest because I ate some as I was picking them. 😆 What do you grow that never quite makes it inside?

Garden update part 2. I wish I could collect bigger bunches of flowers, but I feel so bad about taking them away from the pollinators. Anyone else go through this?

I absolutely love watching these pea plants grow. #gardening #gardenflash

Do you have a favorite yogurt recipe? Tomorrow is a food prep day & making my own Greek yogurt. This recipe makes 5.5 cups, but I have a gallon of milk, so I’ll be doubling the recipe. This cookbook (Homemade Pantry) from Alana Chernila is my favorite & where I get most of my recipes.

A hand with metallic purple nail polish holds a cookbook titled The Homemade Pantry: 101 Foods You Can Stop Buying and Start Making by Alana Chernila. The cover features golden brown homemade toaster pastries dusted with powdered sugar on a light blue background.

A close-up of a glass jar filled with creamy homemade yogurt, with honey being drizzled over it from a wooden honey dipper. A hand with metallic purple nail polish lightly touches the edge of the photo on the left. The background is a dark wooden surface, creating a rustic and cozy kitchen feel.

Worm care tip: freeze your scraps, fluff the bedding, and bury the buffet. Happy worms = rich compost = thriving garden. It’s science… and a little bit of love. #vermicomposting #BlackGoldMagic #gardening #gardensky #blackgardeners

I’m in my 50s & currently navigating perimenopause, spinal degradation, chronic pain, & reduced mobility with my hands. #Gardening isn’t just a hobby for me. It’s an act of resistance, & therapy with Mother Earth herself. It’s so important to be able to find tools to adapt & modify gardening.

Potato update! 🥔 They’re doing so great!

Time for pole beans, those natural climbers that love to spiral upwards! Using a pole tent provides vertical support on all sides and allows for air circulation. I always add twine around my pool tent as an added layer for support for my plants. This will be so beautiful once everything is in bloom.

NJGardenTeacher @njgardenteacher.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Peas climb BEST on a grid trellis! Their tiny tendrils need small gaps to grip, unlike beans that wrap poles. More airflow, easier harvests, and NO flopping! Try bamboo + twine for the perfect setup. #GardenSky #Gardening #PeasPlease

Last summer I found Colorado potato beetle larvae in my garden! I had never seen them IRL before, but I found them just in time! Luckily, I was pruning and happened to find these on 3 plants. The affected plants were NOT near the marigold, onion, or nasturtiums which can deter these pests.

Home grown potatoes on the way (I hope!). If you have any tips please feel free to share. The full video is on my YouTube & you can follow along! youtu.be/8oOydZBvAX4?si=DnPUXyIAGtc…

Why plant once when you can plant on repeat? Succession sowing keeps the peas poppin’ all season long! Every few weeks = more garden goodness. #SuccessionSowing #GrowMoreWithLess #PeasPlease

NJGardenTeacher @njgardenteacher.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

Cannot express how happy this made me! Hopefully the weather sticks so I can succession sow tomorrow. #PeasPlease

A close-up view of young green pea seedlings sprouting from dark soil in a garden bed. The seedlings are protected by a layer of hexagonal chicken wire laid over the soil, with dried leaves scattered around. The wire provides a protective barrier to deter squirrels & birds from digging up pea seeds.

In case you want some sweet news today. I’m volunteering at the book fair at my kid’s school, and discovered Dav Pilkey paid for the whole thing. For the entire school. Every kid pre-k through fifth grade (the whole school) goes home with two free books.

All the pretty girls stand like this. ♥️ That nasturtium & cotton are popping! 🙌🏽 Making me so excited to transplant when it’s time.

Wooden plant markers with handwritten labels are inserted into the soil, identifying the plants. One seedling in the foreground has a seed coat still attached to its emerging leaves. The background shows a window with closed blinds.

Elapsed time of me waking up in the middle of the night planning to grow eggplant & some companions, just because I love eggplant. I started laughing watching the entire 3 minutes of this since I thought to screen record it in case I couldn’t remember what I planned. #Gardener things 😂

Happy Spring! I cleaned up this bed a TINY bit, removing the dried marigold & tomato, planting some bare roots & worm castings, then leaving those leaves. My 2025 garden plan for this bed is to have some beautiful blooms that attract pollinators. Today makes me excited about what’s to come!

A raised garden bed made of corrugated metal with dead plants and dried leaves covering the soil. A yellow tomato cage stands on one side, and a plastic bag is partially buried in the leaves. The surrounding area is covered with brown pine needles, and a tree trunk is visible in the background. The garden bed appears to be in a dormant state, likely from the previous growing season.

After the spine surgeon (who told me about permanent damage & potentially another surgery) we went to Costco. The vibe was amazing! The price on produce? Incredible! The 2 six packs of muffins giant muffins for 9.99. ♥️

Class tonight, prof gives us extra time (ends lecture early) so we can work with our partners on a project. My partner isn’t there. They dropped the class & now I have to do it solo. *Cheers in introvertdom*
