Join me for a look at my backyard container garden! The star of the show is my thriving luffa vine, and I'll be showing you the incredible journey of how these gourds grow into natural loofah sponges. After checking in on the luffa, we'll take a quick tour of the rest of my container garden, including my delicious blackberries, sweet bell peppers, fresh beans, and ripening tomatoes . This video is perfect for anyone interested in container gardening, growing their own food, or learning how to grow and harvest luffa sponges! #luffa, #containergarden, #garden, #blackberries,#bellpeppers, #tomatoes, #beans, #gardening, #urbangardening, #urbanhomesteading, #wv #usa #travel #holsteinhouse #nostr #grownostr # https://rumble.com/v6xfpk6-luffa-vine-and-garden-walk.html

Good morning all y'all! A busy Monday ahead. 15 minute exercise done, critters all fed, garden watered. Spoke with a neighbor, LOL. Errands to run this morning, pick up dad's meds. Castor beans starting to bloom. #nostr #grownostr #garden

Good Sunday morning all y’all! I am noticing quite a lot more potential luffa on the vine. I’ll know better next year how to manage it. I have an idea how to set up things differently. I need to rotate stuff next year also. Tis the (molting) season! #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #molting #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Sun just topping the mountains. Got a few beans picked. Let the birds in the garden. They leave the veggies alone except the sweet potato vine. The ducks strip the leaves. Early morning protein for them. 🙂 I found three more potential luffa. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #summer #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Good morning all y’all! Late on my socials. House critters fed, poultry and gardens tended. Order from Tractor Supply just arrived and needs put up. Dad has MRI late afternoon so trying to knock out as much as possible. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #summer #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Gathered up a few things this morning. Should do more but dad had an appointment today. #holsteinhouse #food #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Good morning all y’all! Appointment this morning but got my 15 mins in, house critters fed, poultry tended, and garden watered. Look at what I spotted! It’s the start of a second luffa! Yay! Have a great day! #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #summer #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

@Jack Spirko listening to replay of today’s First Tuesday show. I have seen that Southpark Christian Rock Band show! 💯 % spot on!

Good morning all y'all! Got my 15 minute walk-fit type thing completed. Gearing up to get morning chores done then order lunch, load the Buick, and head over to prepare for today's lunch & learn at City Of Hope Fellowship . Bringing Back The Village will present "Planning Ahead" at 11:30. #holsteinhouse #community #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Many small things knocked out today. Including processing oranges, peaches, and pineapple for dehydrating, juice, and fruit leathers. Also made up 18 lavender sachets with lavender from my garden. #holsteinhouse #wv #travel #grownostr #nostr

Good morning all y'all! Got my 15 minutes of indoor walking exercise in. I may stick with it longer than one week. It was challenging to my arms. The sun comes up noticeably later now. Sunrise is now 6:31. I have peaches and pineapple to put in the dehydrator. I think I'll dry some orange peel, and freeze some juice. #holsteinhouse #wv #USA #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv #Summer #wellness #health #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Two dozen duck and two and a half dozen chicken eggs clean. I will end up freezing some duck eggs. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #eggs #chickens #ducks #gm #pv 🤙 #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Good morning all y’all! Nice harvest this morning: Kale, Chard, Sweet Potato leaves, Indigo Rose tomatoes, Jersey Devil tomatoes, beans, and a few peppers. I don’t usually accept free food at pantries or thrift shops. God blessed me with a good man that earns enough for us both. One local shop was pleading with shoppers to take fresh foods before they had to be thrown out. I picked up two pineapple, bananas, a bag of oranges, and tomatoes. Now I have to figure out what to do with them. LOL #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #summer #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Good morning all y'all! Got my 10 minute "walk" in. House critters fed. Getting ready to tend the poultry, check garden, record a Holstein House video, and deliver two bread machines to Jericho House. How's your weekend looking? #holsteinhouse #wv #USA #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv #Summer #wellness #health #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

This cactus was planted by the previous owner of the house. I keep debating how to handle it because it's in a really bad place. I weeded it this morning, and put the mulch down. There were three active babies and another three lobes broken off I'm going to try to grow in pots. #holsteinhouse #wv #USA #travel #bnb #garden #gm #pv #nostr #grownostr

Good morning all y'all! I'll probably jinx myself but I just completed my 7th indoor walking exercise. I found a series on YouTube called Yes2Next. She has a "senior" series. Last week I did five minutes a day. I missed Monday but yesterday and today I did the same one twice in a row. The plan is to move to a 15 minute one next week. The goal is to get back to my 2 mile a day walk again, with the dogs. #seniors #exercise #nostr #grownostr

Sitting in the waiting area with Dad and playing with AI. My first creation #grownostr #gm #AI

Have Dad in town for scheduled cardiac stress test. Usually takes HOURS. Doc has a new machine that supposedly shortens the time of one part. We’ll see. #daddysgirl #cardiac #medical #senior
