I can't remember where I read about it but I heard that getting about 20 minutes of sun on your face and arms everyday is enough to absorb adequate amounts of vitamin d. I always protect my face but let my arms and legs soak up sun for short periods of time before putting on sunscreen. And after researching the effects of chemical sunscreen on the environment and ocean life, I always wear physical sunscreen now.

[@tiffanyrogersfeuer1914]

Advice from my garden loving mother in law- with seedlings you want to keep them moist all the time. The best way is to spray them with a spray bottle instead of just straight up watering them with a watering can because it's too intense for them.

[@mariamangion21]

I've been following you since 2019, and always feel so encouraged by you 💕 So proud of all your accomplishments throughout the years! Although I wasn't with you from the beginning, you're never going to lose me 🥹 I will always support you & your dreams 🤍

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Maria! Thank you so much, sweetness 💫🌸🪴 I appreciate you & hope you have a beautiful rest of your week. 💛

[@createwithlulu]

Me too! You came into my life during a hard time and you really brightened my days!

[@mariamangion21]

@@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF I appreciate you too 🤩I hope you have a beautiful rest of your week too!

[@Lindsay39]

I had Vitamin D level issues so my doctor told me to expose my arms and legs to 20-30 minutes a day of unprotected sun. It took several months, but now my levels are normal. She told me I was overprotected via sunscreen and clothing. And on the topic of packing cubes, I LOVE them! Game changers for packing and for easily finding things in a hotel without unpacking into drawers.

[@hayleyblake3311]

Sunscreen does block vitamin D absorption but it’s still so important and way better to wear a physical (not chemical) one. The ingredients in chemical sunscreens are not good. A ton of people are deficient in vitamin D even with sun exposure, I always am low when I get bloodwork so I supplement daily! One recommendation I’ve heard is spending around 20 min in the sun without sunscreen for the vitamin D and then apply sunscreen to minimize risk!

[@lisamurawske4168]

That is what I heard too..20 minutes without. I am always low too!

[@lisawaddington9880]

Sunscreen! I used to tell my daughter, "Today's peaches are tomorrow's prunes!" 😂

Garden tip: your colored peppers will turn the intended color closer to harvest time 🌶 😊

[@laurabrown2264]

You make the rain not look depressing, the intro is so calming and beautiful. New subscriber :)

[@juliahowell7778]

You may look at research on cold weather and hot weather crops! Things like lettuce, cabbages, carrots, beets, radishes, certain herbs and some other things only like cooler weather! Here in Texas I only plant those kinds of things in the early spring and also in the fall. That may be why some of your plants aren't doing well if it's getting over 80 degrees during the day. I do hot weather plants here in the summer like tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, pumpkins, okra, zinnias, black eyed peas and lots of other things! Hope that helps some!! Love your videos!! ❤

[@sarahsheartshome]

so your peppers will turn color- never fear! :) They all start out green.

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Oh, phew! 🫑💫

i’ve been here since you were in college! i love your videos and you really inspire me as a christian. ❤️

[@readsandeats2263]

I love using packing cubes, they are really handy. I have read that if you sit outside for 15mins in the sun without sunscreen/sunblock on you get your daily doze of Vit D. Love your water feature.

[@adriennehart7453]

Allison, you look so beautiful with your hair straight in that low pony, the earrings, and dress. It’s a very flattering look on you!

[@carla71511]

Hello sweet Allison 🧡 thank you for this wonderful and lovely video! It must be difficult this days to stay positive because of what happened, I’m not from USA but I feel the pain due to the fact that your country kids are ours too because all of us live in the same world… so I’m sending all my prayers and all my love to you 💝 and while there’s people like you I’ll have hope that one day we will have a world with only love. Thank you Allison, thank you for being kind and for always influence others to be too 🌸

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Yes, it definitely is difficult & saddening when we live in such a broken world. Thank you so much for the encouragement & prayers. People like you make the hard times feel a bit softer. Much much love 🌸

[@stephwittek]

All of my holistic docs say 20 minutes of no sunscreen exposure per day. Not sure what the thought is behind that - I’ve been meaning to research, but I’m in full on brain health mode right now. 🤓 Such a sweet vlog, friend!

[@judithpresgrove739]

Once you get the hang of it, you will fall in love with the packing cubes. We don't pack without them. I am certainly one of your older subscribers but enjoy your uplifting and inspiring content. I recommend your channel often to the young marrieds in our church. Best Regards from GA! ❤

[@aldi_agus]

rain in the background for half of the vid is so dreamy 😍

[@HarryThomasPictures]

Allison subscribing to you is one of the best decisions I've ever made💗✨. You are unspeakably gorgeous in each of these summer outfits🤩🌞!

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

That is so so kind, Harry! Thank you. ✨

[@chelseasaylor8699]

I'm a little late but Rachel Vinn has a podcast called A Small Amount of Drama and she just had her dermatologist mom on. They talked a lot about sunscreen and sun exposure!!

[@katelynlong2196]

You and the Lord have cultivated a beautiful life together 🕊🍯🤍✨

[@zainabkarimjee52]

A suggestion! Can you create your recipe book as part of a merch store item? It doesn’t need to include your recipes (a few would be nice, though!) - but more of a template / including the cover page(s), dividers, etc.

[@vcfoo23]

Allison, You are such a beautiful person inside out. You've inspired many with your creativity, authenticity, kindness, down-to-earth demeanour and aesthetically-pleasing touches. Con't to make simple yet beautiful recipes and can't stop binge watching all your videos. God bless!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@monicaleina1218]

Love your videos Allison! Just an FYI on cilantro, it bolts in the heat as well as lettuces. They like cooler temps. Kale and Collards do well in the heat and cool weather too. I live in SC and all of my cilantro is now bolted as well and now I am about to harvest the seeds. Hope that helps. :)

You should put it across from where people will be sitting because it fills the ambience of the whole garden and not just one point when you are sitting and reading outside!

[@emilygilmore7532]

Yess! Watching with an iced coffee and cozy blanket on this rainy day! (I think those peppers will turn orange when they're ready! Can't wait!)

[@brendachilson1879]

Beautiful summer clothing pieces!!!! Cute 🥰 water 💦 bath.. the birds will love it!

[@hannahmay8138]

For the water feature definitely get a pot that is black inside so it doesn’t reflect the sunlight as it will stop the algae growing inside 🥰

[@bpal5644]

It's giving me rainforest vibes! It's so nice.

Hi Allison, I just want to tell you I started discovering you since the pandemic started and have never miss none of your video since. Your video always make me smile so humble and down to earth.

[@aestheticedit5485]

Hi Allison, I would recommend getting a plant thermometer for your outside plants, as the heat could possibly be causing them to die more quickly, I'm no plant expert by the way! haha. The average temperature a plant should have through the day is 72°F and through night time 66°F don't quote me on that, that's just what I got from research, hope this helps! 🤗🪴

[@scrapin4mhe]

I would want it next to the patio. The sound is so soothing!

[@120mitchmd]

Hi Allison! My family has grown a vegetable garden my whole life and they are so rewarding! A little tip about your bell peppers is when they are growing they will almost always be green, they will start to change color closer to ripening which will let you know they are ready to pick. Happy gardening! 🤍

[@xokelseyxo9238]

I just adore you so much, darling Allison! I am a teacher's aide in a preschool. I work with 5 year olds. We are currently planning our class' graduation. They are singing and dancing to 3 songs.

[@conniemunroe3600]

I love packing cubes!

[@rebeccarendle3706]

I would put the water feature near the balcony. The sound is relaxing. You need to find out what birds would nest in your house and then where and which direction the house should face. Birds are very particular. Even bees are particularly.. We have lots of bees and insect houses and the bees fight over a couple of them which they prefer. Beautiful clothes.. Loved the versatility of the tops. You looked great in it all. Lovely vlog. Thank you. I always use packing cubes on World travels.. Even when I backpacked back in the 1990s with my 80l rucksack! Great for organizing.

bravo gardener gallll!!! Advice on the lettuce and rosemary - your climate may be too hot to grow these outdoors in this season...lettuces, spinach, kale, chard, and more of those delicate leafy greens really dislike the heat-you could try them indoors or in a colder season if you have one in FL!
