Hi it's Shana from Planting Roots Pacific Northwest and we are here in my western
Washington zone 8b garden and we are doing another September garden tour today. I'm going
to give you a tour of the vegetable garden and I'm going to go through what tasks I'm doing,
what I'm direct sowing, what I'm planting indoors, what I'm going to be planting out
in the coming months, and then I'm going to show you some different spots of my yard today too that
are struggling. I also want to talk through what I'm going to do differently for next year so
let's go. Don't get me wrong this pumpkin tunnel has been amazing but it's in need of some TLC.
You can tell it's falling down and collapsing. I'm going to have to look into a solution to
actually support the pumpkin trellis and I think next year instead of growing cucumbers all along
here and then the squash and pumpkins up here I think I want to do like cherry tomatoes just
because the cherry tomatoes in my region here in western Washington I'm on the last town kind of
before you get into the mountain pass so even my microclimate is cooler as well for being in western
Washington and the cherry tomatoes are just they outshine any other tomato here and I think it's
just because less days to maturity we don't get as much warmer weather so I think for next year
I'm just going to cover these in a few cherry tomatoes and then maybe like one or two cucumbers
but definitely not like all cucumbers the powdery mildew is really starting to take hold
I got behind on treating the powdery mildew I was treating it with a diluted hydrogen peroxide
solution I've read you could also use milk or whey and I do have a lot of acid oh my goodness ladies
I do have a lot of acidic whey from making my own yogurt that I could also try on it I haven't tried
those methods yet but I kind of just gave up temporarily because it was so like rainy and
wet that I just didn't think there was any purpose of doing it so I'm going to come back through
again probably with the acidic whey and see if that will help you can also just spray the leaves
during the daytime to rinse the spores off people have also said that method is effective it's just
been pretty chilly and it's very shaded so I don't know that the leaves will dry off appropriately
just given the weather right now so I'm gonna go with the just spraying the whey solution for now
and see how that does this red cherry tomato is looking great since we trellised it up in my
last video there are so many red cherry tomatoes coming in so I'm really happy that I kept this
plant and decided to not demolish it my peppers have probably seen better days they are getting
pretty shadowed by the other plants but what are you gonna do I do have oh look I do have a couple
bells coming in they are leaning to try to get more light I've got multiple squash over here I've
got a potty pan squash and two I believe black beauty squashes I've also got some scarlet red
runner beans so we've got a lot going on in this bed you have a lot of cayenne peppers that I'm
going to turn into a cayenne pepper spice I just have to wait for them to turn red oh the burgundy
amaranth let's go to the other side this is the burgundy amaranth doesn't it look so gorgeous
it's just striking and I didn't know they got so tall once this flower head turns brown and gets
dried out then you can turn it into flowers so we'll be trying that this year so stay tuned
my parsley is still going strong which is great it's now now that the weather has cooled down
I think it's just loving it and it's just putting out more and more leaves in front of the amaranth
you might notice the cinderella pumpkin coming in and I'm trying to trellis it along this garden
gate which is really fun I'm actually trying to plant several things on this garden gate which
I'll show you in a bit but I'm worried that the pumpkin might be getting too big to just be
hanging I'm worried it's going to break off the stem so I'm just going to take one of these old
produce bags that I have it's not pretty but it does the trick and it was a great way to repurpose
a old produce bag that I'm not going to use again welcome to my squash bed you can see that it's
clearly taken over as squash does I have a couple pumpkins over here a couple butternut squashes
I also have peppers in here that are definitely become overtaken by the squash so I think I'll
need to plant out my peppers a bit earlier and start them earlier so they get bigger when I
transplant them out so that way this doesn't happen but I do like growing the squash and
the peppers together the peppers are still actually doing okay I've got quite a few jalapenos
I've got a ton of butternut squash coming in and I'm feeding it through the fence that way
hopefully it can grow into the ditch and I can have free squash for my neighbors I talked about
that in my last video and so far I do have some squash plants growing outside of the fence so
we'll see if my dream comes to fruition see I've also got some scarlet runner beans starting to
climb here this poblano is looking pretty good the poblano will be ready to pull soon oh look cute
all of my normal cucumbers have come out looking pretty like small and deformed so
I think well a poor pollination could be an option um inconsistent watering maybe but
these plants are old like I planted these out very start of spring and they just never grew
and now they're like starting to grow but they're just not doing well my issue with the cucumbers
is I think I planted them out too early so next year I'm not going to plant them out as early as
I did this year I want to say I put them out in like April this year which is pretty early for
cucumbers I did secession soak my cucumbers as well but those ones are also not putting out any
fruit so I don't know it wasn't a great like cute normal cucumber year for me I had a lot of lemon
cucumbers but my lemon cucumbers were the only variety that actually did well for me oh ---- I
got a bell quite not ruin all my plants that looks pretty oh no something ate it the worst
well I'll just cut that part off it's fine I've got a couple burgundy amaranth up in the front
here as well as well as some zinnias and then I have dill more flowers one tomato plant in front
of this garden bed I sowed some peas and we're gonna sow some more today I would have used just
shredded up leaves honestly but the reason why I'm using this is because I got a bat I got two
bags of it for five dollars from a neighbor and so I was like well I need some mulch and I actually
surprisingly don't have a lot of leaves uh around me unless I wanted to go like collecting them
from neighbors which I feel like is like kind of odd but I'm not above it moving forward I don't
want to buy things I just want to use what I have around because a why buy things when you could get
the same a similar product for free for the same use and then be I just don't trust brands anymore
like I really don't like everything like everything that's come out with like the whole avocado oil
thing and even before that but like if you guys have been keeping up on like the companies who've
been saying that there's avocado oil like chosen foods was on the list for avocado oil mayonnaise
and it turns out that they've been cutting it with seed oils and we as consumers have been paying a
premium to get higher quality ingredients everything that's going on right now I just I
don't trust businesses at all so I am going to be trying to come up with my own free things to use
where I can like mulch thank you for listening to my tangent I'm just gonna twist this guy off
you can see that something tried to munch it was it my hens probably here are some lemon cucumbers
that are starting to get past due and the way that I know that is look how dark orange this is getting
you want to harvest them when these are a light yellow to lime green but once it gets this dark
color they become bitter so I'm just gonna pull these and then if they get too dark yellow I just
give them to the hens I'm gonna place a brick underneath this this squash and any butternut
squashes I find laying on the gravel and the reason is because last year they got my butternut
squash got really bruised and I think it was because the rocks were poking the skin when they
were delicate and then causing bruising so they just looked unappealing and I felt bad like giving
them away looking so crummy but to prevent that I'm going to place these bricks underneath the
squash so that way hopefully they won't bruise from the rocks cutting into the skin be really
careful not to break some of these stems in the process as for my vertical tomato trellis it's
doing pretty good last year it looked much better but I think it's because I only grew cherry tomatoes
and they're very vigorous they're very productive um so I think it just looked a lot more like
filled in I do have a lot of different varieties um I also have quite a few tomatoes that are
blushing and ready to be pulled since it's been raining I am gonna pull the ones that are even
just faintly blushing because I don't want them to split and I keep finding a lot of damage to my
tomatoes so I don't know what's getting them it could be birds slugs I've had a few of you guys
say to put water dishes out because the birds will poke the fruit to get water if they're thirsty
and that slugs will also eat tomatoes which was new to me but let's pick the tomatoes that are
ready so this guy's ready go San Marzano or Roma I don't remember surprisingly I'm still getting
some tomatoes from these containers that are doing terribly this was a volunteer plant and
it might actually be doing the best a few more beef steaks romes and cherries a couple things
worth noting about this vertical tomato trellis number one I staked them up with twine now the
issue with this twine is that well it broke it broke in several different places and I should
have known better because the same thing happened last year I just didn't want to use plastic
truthfully so I'm gonna have to look into a different solution you can see this one broke
right here just snapped so I'm gonna have to use a different material next year something stronger
I just don't want to use like a plastic line preferably also I've pretty much only been
harvesting from this side of the tomato trellis because I have six tomatoes up here in the front
six tomatoes around in the back and the difference between the two is I planted these front tomatoes
out the earliest I want to say April we had some really warm weather here in western Washington
end of April so I said screw it let's just try it out and see how they do and these ones I've
done the best now did they struggle for a while before they did well absolutely but they all came
back and they've been the most prolific out of all of my tomatoes the second succession that I
sowed I kept indoor for longer and I waited till start of June to plant them out like most people
recommend for growing tomatoes in the Pacific Northwest and they're doing just not great like
they're they're producing but I haven't been harvesting I haven't been getting near as many
tomatoes from them they're not ripening as fast they're not as vigorous in growth so that's what
I'm going to continue doing I think moving forward my container tomatoes over here that look
horrifying they're all dying and look diseased and don't look great and if you've seen some of
my previous videos I talked about how they get a lot of shade from that fence so moving forward
I'm going to plant something different there that can tolerate more shade also a lot of these
containers are much smaller so I think I just need a bigger growing medium for the tomatoes as well
as actually using more fertilizer I'm very bad at fertilizing what I've noticed and what I've
heard at least with container with container pots is that you do need to use more fertilizer
because it's a very limited growing medium the roots can't branch out and and seek out nutrients
other than what's in that container they can also get washed away pretty easily so you have to
supplement per my research at least moving forward I think I am going to start everything in my
greenhouse this year that's the goal we did put the greenhouse up last year but we don't have any
heating in it and we need to put in like a floor and like a path kind of going up to it so that's
another project here in the coming month so stay tuned for that we're going to see how we heat it
and cool it electricity rates are obviously a joke so if I can find something solar that would
be awesome not that we get a whole lot of suns but but we'll see if you guys have any suggestions
for me for heating my greenhouse and insulating it even let me know that this has been my best
pepper bed I've gotten a lot of peppers particularly my Fresno pepper has been doing
the best as well as my Hungarian hot wax they're very prolific my jalapenos in a different bed are
also doing really good I didn't know that they were so prolific celery is doing incredible
I've actually started harvesting from it and I've been using it in juices and looking forward to
soup season where I'll really start to be pulling from this leaks I've got a lot of leaks in here
still I've got a pumpkin that we tried to train up last week and then the twine broke so twine's
just not a good option and then I'm probably gonna have to take out this this sunflower here pretty
soon just because it's getting very dilapidated although there's like a little bee on it I don't
know maybe I'll just wait for it to collapse oh we've got a lot of peppers here ready to be
harvested it looks like one looks great that one I can take and then let's do this one a couple
Hungarian hot waxes you can see that this one's been stretching or is it just getting colder not
sure could be either or let's grab this one too and then let's take this one as well I had a few
mini bells ready I could wait for them to turn color but I'm impatient five mini bells we have
made it to the back row of my vegetable garden where it is just utter pure chaos where do I
start so over here I have corn I had beans growing up the corn and squash going down below which I
thought would work really well knowing that it's the infamous three sisters method however the beans
took down my corn they literally started climbing it and broke the corn off I've got several corn
now that just broke off from the beans which is crazy to me um I do have some beans finally
starting to come in though so that's exciting I guess so I royally messed up when planting my
corn this year and it's because I did multiple different varieties in one block and what I
didn't know was that you can have cross-pollination occur but because the corn is the seed it actually
affects your current year's harvest rather like than like a squash plant right where like you can
have cross-pollination between different squashes but it will only affect the seeds if you collect
if you save them and then you grow the seeds next year so that was something I learned this year so
I'm not expecting a very great harvest from my corn but we will see these are should all be the
same variety though so these ones might actually be okay and I can see the corn starting to come in
so it's a tbd oh my gosh this rutabaga you guys I always joke and say that my volunteers are always
my best plants this rutabaga is so close to being ready to be harvested when I looked it up it said
you wanted to harvest it when the diameter is three to five inches wide and that they can even
benefit from a light frost or kissed by frost or what I guess is a saying um to make the root sweeter
so I'm gonna wait a little bit longer on that rutabaga before I pull it but I'm getting antsy
because I've never had a rutabaga and I was excited that they actually grew um granted you
know the one in the gravel is growing the best as it goes for this back middle bed up front here are
the radish that you guys might have seen me so I think it was just a couple weeks ago but I believe
these are all the french breakfast variety and they are looking wonderful they look way better
than the radish I planted weeks prior to that something I learned this year is there's warm
season radish and cool season radish which I didn't know so make sure if you're planting radish
that you're planting the right variety for the time period because that might be why I wasn't
having luck with some of my other radishes also in the past I've made an amazing radish leaf pesto
so even if I don't get radishes from my other ones I know I'll just use the leaves into pesto
so if you have a bunch of radish leaves maybe you don't have that much basil you can use your
radish leaves to make pesto I do encourage you to look into a radish leaf pesto recipe as well
so here is the corn I've kept a pretty blank space because I am gonna have to plant out my fall garden
and so in this bed it gets a decent amount of shade from the fence so I'm gonna sow my lettuces
in this bed and then my brassicas that I'm getting ready to be transplanted for the fall garden
are going to go in these middle beds in between the tomatoes for a little bit more shade as we're
still getting some warm weather just to hopefully shade them out and then I did actually purchase
some shade cloth an insect netting and shade cloth situation let me go grab that and I'll show that
to you guys oh actually we have to pull this snapdragon I almost forgot so it's showing signs
of a fungal disease I think it's rust so yeah let's pull this snapdragon because it's not
it's not doing so hot and I don't want it to spread to my other plants
it's hard because some of most of this bed doesn't need pollination but some of it does
close everything on this side but I'm gonna leave some of that side open so I don't know how
effective this will be for now so next year now I know not to plant things that need pollinated
in the same bed that I plan on protecting with insect netting live and learn these are the clips
we used when we had pvc pipe structures so I'm hoping these will still work they should these
ones are a lot nicer than the white plastic ones because the white clip-on ones they just break
so easy so these are great what ones are these pirate ant it's a stupid name but I will link
these down below if you're interested in either the insect netting with shade cloth and these
clips here I just went through this whole side cleaned up all of the dead decaying leaves or the
leaves that were just had way too much powdery mildew on them and then now I am spraying this
solution of a mixture of about 50 percent whey 50 percent water I read some people use a one part
liquid whey you know six parts water I'm just going for the half and half so I'm going to do
half of my liquid acidic whey half water for the powdery mildew when looking into this the lactic
acid bacteria is supposed to help with the powdery mildew previously I was using a hydrogen
peroxide solution which did seem like it was helping but not near the rate that the powdery
mildew seemed to be spreading especially if the lead had quite a bit of powdery mildew on it so
instead I'm going to try this liquid whey solution I make my own yogurt actually so I always have a
lot of leftover whey and I never seem to go through it as much as I would like it does add like a
tangy taste to your dishes you can also substitute like a 50 chicken broth ratio with it a lot of
times too so I like to keep it for other uses but now I have a whole nother use to my yogurt
whey and that is treating powdery mildew in my garden this point I'm just spraying all of the
leaves as prevention and to kill the powdery mildew spores hopefully but make sure you get
the bottom of the leaves too because I keep forgetting to do that there's a ton of powdery
mildew on the bottom of the leaves as well I do keep treating my pruners with rubbing alcohol as
well just to prevent the spread of disease from pruning off the leaves I want to go over what
seeds I'm going to be direct sowing in the coming days here in the garden so I'm going to be sowing
some romaine it might be a little bit too late for romaine we'll see romaine doesn't like the
extreme cold or the extreme heat so I'm just worried about it getting too cold by the time
it's established but I'm thinking I should at least be able to use it as a cut and come again
style of leaf lettuce so romaine watercress the CDC claims it's the most nutrient dense plant
so I've been meaning to grow this I just keep killing it in seed trays so I'm going to just
direct sow this outside in a container and see how it does I guess it can be pretty invasive
allegedly from what I read so that's why I'm putting it in a container spinach is another
one I'm going to try direct sowing I just keep trying you're good at growing spinach in the
collards I've been throwing the collards in smoothies and they're a good cool weather
crop that should last me through the winter as well so it's just nice to have some greens on
hand in the winter that you can throw into soups stews um arugula we love arugula poppies poppies
were one um that I wanted to direct so now in my garden bed dill and cilantro so these are things
I'm direct sowing at least in a couple days these we already planted uh so as far as there's a
so bok choy is one where I don't trust the weather right now it goes to seed pretty easily in the
heat at least from my experience I planted some bok choy a couple weeks ago it already flowered so
I'm going to start this inside and plant it out as it gets cooler just because it prefers cold
weather and I'm not going to cover it I'm just going to let it let the cool weather do its thing
and hopefully it won't bolt on me but we will see snapdragons so I am really loving snapdragons we
live on septic and I've been trying to find something that I can plant in that section of
the yard because it it does get a decent amount of shade part shade and I read some people have
reported that snapdragons actually do okay with some shade so I'm just gonna sow a crap ton of
snapdragons in my 36 cell seed trays they're the silicone ones that just pop out really easily
and I'm just gonna litter that whole patch with snapdragons and we're gonna see how they do and
then I'm also gonna plant the snapdragons in other parts of my garden with varying levels of sun just
to see what does better so we'll see that will be an experiment for next year end of September
towards October will be sweet peas so these are sweet pea flowers these are more of a cool weather
flower if you plant these towards the end of the month or in October when it gets a little bit
cooler you should be able to get more flowers in the coming spring as the root system will
be more established and can put out more blooms essentially so anything that I am planning on
leaving bare I'm just going to do a cover crop because the cover crop will fix nitrogen into
the root so especially if you have better planning than I you could plant a cover crop where you know
you're going to plant your high nitrogen crops maybe like your corn or some lettuces or yeah
anything that's high nitrogen so because these fava beans or most cover crops will fix nitrogen
into your soils I've seen people use the cover crops as mulch as well and they just plant within
the cover crop as it dies back so clarkia is another one that I was going to direct so towards
the end of the month towards October for the same reasons it should have a more established root
system for next season and then clarkia it's not a perennial but it does reseed itself pretty easily
so I'm hoping that once I plant it I'll just kind of keep having it I've had a lot of people comment
on this YouTube channel already saying it's hard to know what to start at what time indoor versus
direct so what I found really useful is a book actually so I wanted to pass this along to anybody
else who was struggling with like knowing when to plant at what time what to direct so what to
start and see in trays indoor and it's I got this book um vegetable gardening in the Pacific
Northwest from Laureen Edwards Forkner and it breaks down month by month what you should be
looking to plant or start in trays so for example if we were to fast forward to September the month
of September it says so in plant plant cool season cover crops as beds empty that's what we talked
about you can transplant or direct so arugula which as I said I'm growing Asian greens charred
kohlrabi lettuce and salad greens radish rapini spinach you can transplant or direct so later in
the month hardy fava beans that's exactly what I said I'm doing garlic garlic's a good one I am
actually going to be sowing garlic I'm going to do the hard neck variety this year instead of the
soft neck I actually might do a mix of both but with the hard neck variety you actually get garlic
scapes and I really want garlic scapes I didn't have any this year which I was really bummed about
purple sprouting broccoli harvesting and then it just mentions everything you could harvest right
now it goes over tasks collect and dry seeds from this year's crops package for next year that's
actually great advice the tough part about saving seeds is some things can cross pollinate do your
research about which seeds to save I've heard people saving seeds from cross pollinate squash
that can actually be like toxic I don't know if that's true but just do your research before you
before you save some seeds anyway point being is this book has been super helpful especially if
you're a beginner gardener trying to learn what to plant and when this tomatillo wall was an
experiment this year previously I grew tomatillos in the raised garden beds and they did wonderful
this year my tomatillos they've done okay I've still gotten a decent amount that I've been able
to make salsa verde enchilada sauce with but I'm not getting as many and they actually look like
they're struggling but I think a part of that is I've noticed my soil on the outside my native soil
is really hydrophobic everything that I've planted and ground out here if we didn't
till it's done pretty bad tomatillos I just dug up the grass and dug holes I didn't till it
and so I think I might still do this method next year but I am going to tell my soil next year in
this spot just to get it going a lot of people refrain against tilling and my understanding is
it's supposed to disrupt that microbial activity which makes sense right but there are situations
where it does seem kind of necessary so next year I'm gonna till and then probably replant the
tomatillos or something different in that space so this grass is atrocious my husband wanted to
leave some grass on this side of the yard but I've decided that we're not gonna do that so we have a
whole different side of the yard on the other side of the house that has grass so I'm not worried
about like keeping some grass in our yard so ideally I want this whole side of the yard to be
covered in plants I want it to be an oasis of plants I just want it to be green and the way this
grass is like I just can't get it green but really I just want to till it I just want to till it all
up and then blanket so this alternative lawn mixture that I got from botanical interests
I did plant this in other spots of my yard earlier this year except where I messed up was I couldn't
tell what was a weed and what was a flower so we're gonna try it again knowingly that I am
planting this in this spot so before the end of the year we're gonna till this and I'm just gonna
blanket so this alternative lawn it might be a terrible idea I don't know stay posted for that
in the springtime another thing that I will not be doing next year is buying bulk compost the reason
is it is littered in trash so now we are making our own because we can't trust companies to actually
give us a good product these days we're actually installing a three-part compost system here soon
we have to put up a woodshed first because we're replacing a different tool shed to make room for
a sauna which I'm very excited about um once all of that is put together then we can build a
three-part compost system another thing I'm going to be doing differently next year is planting out
this garden gate so we this was a last minute addition to keep the hens out of the garden so
you saw that I planted peas on one side earlier this year I direct sowed some hollyhocks to
hopefully pop up next year but TBD on the front side of the house I have a climbing rose that's
in a pot that's not doing so good and I want to put it in ground and so what I'm thinking is I want
to put the climbing rose probably like right here and have it climb up and across this trellis we
might need to add some more slats either on this side or on this side where I have this painted
lady tomato and I just think it would add such a beautiful aesthetic to the garden because I don't
have many flowers so when it becomes a good time to transplant the climbing rose probably late
fall I would guess I'll do so and then hopefully that will be the entrance into the garden so this
privacy wall trellis is another thing I'm going to do plant out differently next year I'm just
going to try to plant this out much more densely this year was just kind of an experiment I expected
the squash to get larger I expected the grape to get larger um so instead of expecting everything
to just do well I'm going to plant it really densely probably with like peas maybe some
pole beans cucumbers really anything like vining so this is another thing I'm gonna have to change
for next garden season this flower patch is another section that's in need of some TLC and
some revising for next year so I got one dahlia some snapdragons a bunch of gladiolus gladioli
gladiolus um some lupine peonies and I love the peonies and the dahlias I did grow more dahlias
in prior years they're very messy but I do miss the look that they gave me so I am going to try
planting more dahlias these I'm going to try redesigning the look of the gladiolus because
I really liked how they looked except the way I planted everything was kind of like
sparse like one plant here one here one here I want to form like clumps of the flowers to give
them a better aesthetic especially for these guys I do need to um chop them down and get ready for
like overwintering as well I need to like do a quick google search on how I'm supposed to do
everything um but I do want to plant more of like a clump essentially just be more intentional about
what flowers to plant in this space and how I want it to look moving forward so this area will need
to be revised as well this is the side of the yard that I don't show very much the garden side has
definitely taken priority but we're slowly working our way to this side of the yard but this is the
patch I was talking about that I just want to plant a ton of snapdragons like literally just
the whole thing in snapdragons and see how it does because I read that they are septic safe
that wood shed is the one that we're going to be replacing um and then hopefully putting in the
barrel sauna so I'm very excited about that and then the fence we actually just put up within the
last couple weeks these were fence panels that we had picked up from somebody else that we
repurposed to save some money we stained them we still have a little bit of work to do but
it's mostly done so hopefully in the coming years we'll get this side more put together
but this is the other side of my yard let me show you the wannabe orchard and welcome to my
wannabe orchard so on this side I have got a grafted cherry tree it finally started putting
out growth like this fall so after it was done setting fruit I'm getting a lot more growth and
I can even tell that the trunk is thicker so I'm really excited next year will be like the third
year that I've had it so it should hopefully do quite a bit better I have a grafted pear tree as
well that's a little newer so it's not doing quite as good I actually did get some pears from it this
year and then I have a persimmon that the hens have completely annihilated we attempted to fix
it with this chicken wire but they keep digging it they just love digging up all of the new plants
that I put in it's it's lovely oh exhibit a I've got some raspberries on the edge here the
blueberries didn't do well so I'm gonna dig those up put them into pots so I can control the acidity
of the soil and put those around the fire pit so I am gonna dig this up and probably put in a peach
tree I would like to put in a peach tree and a pawpaw tree as well I am growing all semi-dwarf
varieties just because I am trying to grow them in a tight space but if you have five fruit trees
it's considered an orchard and I would love to have a section of the yard that I could refer to
as an orchard so stay posted to see what fruit trees I plant this fall fall is a great time to
plant fruit trees as well I'll probably try to get those in the ground here in the coming
month or two oh the shade garden let me show you the sad shade garden this is what I refer to as
the sad shade garden you can see I have a lot of chicken wire around these plants because the
chickens virtually killed everything and they're trying to make a comeback that's user error
hopefully my mom doesn't see this because I keep killing the plants that she gives me
oh ---- well that'll do I am kind of obsessed with this bird feeder we do have a squirrel feeder as

like Alice in Wonderland out here sometimes and that's a wrap I hope you guys enjoyed the video
