    Christine's Planting Veggies For Fall


    fallgarden.png

    I love planting this time of year
    because it helps usher in new flavors, scents, nutrients and tastes into my
    kitchen. For those of you who might be thinking you can’t grow because you live
    in a small space or don’t own your home, no worries, I’ve got tips for you too!
    We just moved into a new house and will be planting into pots this season!

    Growing at home comes with a
    plethora of advantages, but my fave is being able to enjoy round after round of
    my favorite fresh greens, lettuce and root veggies. All will easily grow in
    containers and pots. Container gardens are awesome for new green thumbs, those
    trying to maximize space and a great way to exhibit vital energy in your decor
    scheme!

    If you have space and time,
    raised beds might be an option for you as well. When I go on a Garden Eats run
    to help a client decide, we always suggest a raised bed option when space is
    available. The unique So-Cal landscape allows for so many raised-bed and
    graduated feature gardens.

    Nutrient-Dense Soil=Happy Plants=Healthy
    YOU!

    My number one reason to suggest
    growing in containers and raised beds is that you can control the
    nutrient-balance of your soil. Planting into the ground isn’t a terrible idea,
    but you might not know what’s been lurking beneath or what can make it’s way in
    through the ground water. You’ll be happy to hear that the supplies to get
    started are actually quite basic and easy to procure:

    ●     
    topsoil

    ●     
    compost

    ●     
    non-treated containers or Foodmap containers (pictured)

    ●     
    Ho, large shovel & hand shovel

    ●     
    watering can or hose with flow control

    ●     
    boards, nails and hammer if building a raised bed

    ●     
    organic seeds or plants of your choice (marigolds if
    planting a raised bed)

    What Should I Plant?

    Now that you’ve got all of your
    tools, let’s decide what you can plant. Today we’re going to focus on planting
    into containers, but if you want to learn more about raised-beds, you can find
    me here.
    While we enjoy a great variety of produce in our kitchen, I like to grow what
    we enjoy eating the most of. Another great way to grow is by choosing
    financially- choose to grow whatever ends up costing you the most at the
    markets.

    With these things in mind, here
    are my faves on-rotation right now:

    ●     
    red lettuce

    ●     
    leafy green lettuce

    ●     
    romaine

    ●     
    swiss chard

    ●     
    cucumbers

    ●     
    kale

    ●     
    micro-greens

    ●     
    carrots

    ●     
    beets

    ●     
    turnips

    ●     
    garlic

    How To Grow C A R R O T S

    Carrots will grow about ¼ to ½
    the size of the pot they are placed in. You can grow a variety of orange, white
    or purple- all do well in So-Cal. You’ll want to plant these now. They look
    nice in different size pots and arranged along a patio.

    To Plant:

    ●     
    Mix fresh light soil with sandy soil thoroughly and
    almost fill your pot

    ●     
    Dig in about one inch, fill in with compost, drop
    seeds and cover

    ●     
    Carrots like full sun and good drainage so be
    mindful when choosing pots

    ●     
    Water every day early in the am or later in the day,
    but not in high sun as the        leaves will burn

    ●     
    Harvest late in the day for the most balanced taste

    With so many growing choices,
    please let us know what your fave veggies and fruits are so we can highlight
    those growing tips for you here!

    Have a lovely weekend!

    --- Christine!

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
