This was a special treat video! Shop along with Sarah. Loved it! I agree about the hustle and bustle. I too will always choose peace and quiet and nature overall. I started my green thumbing late summer this year on my apartment porch balcony area and my zucchini plant that grew so big right before the zucchini began to show..died :( lol, I think I gave it too much fertilizer.. it was my first attempt at planting and growing anything from the seeds itself. I grow scallions, basil, thyme, and bokchoy. But it's getting cold now here in Chicago. 49 at night feels like 42 and high 50's in the daytime until Summer decides to pop up one odd day again!

When we first moved to the Tassie highlands I had this dream of my timber cottage draped in trailing roses, what I didn't realise was POSSUMS! They eat everything. Then I thought, "daffodils pop up through the lawn, I'll plant irises and tulips and in the spring I'll have beautiful bulbs everywhere! Nope, roos dug them up and ate them not long after planting them. I have discovered that possums don't eat wisteria, so have some young plants growing up the house poles. We have a large vege garden. We have 4 varieties of plums and about 20 espaliered apple and pear trees which do well, as does the large berry patch. The vege garden is fenced and heavily fortified with electricity and all the fruit trees have to be netted or parrots will come in and clean up the lot overnight. We have a very short growing season. We had 3 La Nina years in a row during which it wasn't even worth trying to grow veges as the temperatures would oscillate between mid 20s, to low 30s celsius and then drop down to like 10 degrees for 2 days. We are now in El Nino and have bought two new huge water tanks so looking forward to a big year in the vege garden.

What a wonderful way to ease into the weekend - enjoyed this so much while I sipped on a new discovery to me; Torani's brown sugar cinnamon syrup in my morning coffee. Decadent, I know, but oh so good on chilly days. I LOVE Fall, my favourite time of year. I too enjoy the peace of home and being retired, avoid crowds by shopping or running errands when most are at work. By month's end we will have snow so my gardening now consists of cleaning out the pots, bringing deck decor into the garage and preparing for the winter.

Oh Sarah this was such a lovely vlog! I expanded my garden this year and it was mostly a major success! I was fighting off some japanese beetles and powdery mildew, but overall it was a good year To answer your question about yellow squash, yellow squash is like the broader term and then you have more specific descriptors for the different squash shapes. the one you got from the farm stand looks to be a Yellow Straightneck Squash. it's the kind you most commonly would have found in Colorado super markets. The other common shape is crookneck. you can also find Paddypan squash, which is flatter and rounder and looks kinda like a flying saucer; it has a very similar taste to straightneck and crookneck squash. Yellow Squash has been a staple in my garden for years for my mom and they're really quite easy to grow! I haven't grown them in a pot before but maybe that could be an experiment for you next year if you can find some seeds to start from, or even a sprouted seedling. just be warned you probably wont need more than 1 plant to make it to maturity! They're prolific little buggers!

Another great slug & snail trick is to put bowls of beer around & if you can semi cover them ( recycle a plastic container with a doorway cut out & put over bowl ) so snails & slugs can get in but keeps the rain out, they are attracted to the yeast in the beer & drown in the bowl so you will have to regularly check & dispose of drunk dead slugs & snails. Another is to put rocksalt around the base of pots as salt apparently burns them so the don't like sliding over it.

Nowadays I record less for two reasons: I want to be more present and I want to store less footage. It took a long time to know what exact footage I might use, so I'm much more efficient now.

Honestly, I would probably not use cloud storage because uploading and downloading is constant transferring of data. I'd buy 3 pcs of SSDs and would fill them with the same data.

And I would make sure 1 copy is placed in another location than your house. 🙂 Data storage is a hassle but they invent newer and newer technologies. The size of SSDs are really getting down.
