Grocery Shopping Locally and finding GREAT DEALS + Life in Florida

[@madisonstrauser1822]

I am watching your video and my 4 year old is watching with me and you started your encouragement and my daughter finished it. I know that scripture means so much to me as i can/ know how use it daily and apply it to my life. But it really is encouraging me as i see my 4 year old starting to remember it! 🙌❣️ So thank you for your daily encouragement!

[@amymaryon]

Thank you for this

[@lizg5574]

Two suggestions for you to consider. First: see about getting some white pebbles to put on the top of the pots where you have planted your vegetables. White reflects some of the heat and the stone prevents as much evaporation, meaning the plants benefit from the water. They also trap a small amount of dew (if there is any), which is good for the plants. It's better to look for pebbles/stones in a store than bringing them from the beach, as you don't know what bacteria would be introduced to a food crop through watering over them - in a store they are more likely to have been washed to remove harmful agents. NEVER water the plants in the heat of the day - far better to water twice, first thing and just as the sun goes down. Avoid sprinkling the leaves as the suns rays will burn through the droplets, discolour the leaves and slow efficient photosynthesis of necessary nutrients. Secondly; along the same track - get Maxine a white cover for her bed. The dark colour attracts heat and can burn her, so she won't want to go on it if it's like lying on the grill! The white surface will remain cooler and being off the ground, air movement under it will be a little cooler, too. Do look at getting some dog-safe sun screen for her tummy and ears, too. We use it here in New Zealand for our little dog and cats, as skin cancer in animals is a big threat and not pleasant to deal with.

[@amymaryon]

Thank you for all of these suggestions

You’re so inspiring and I really enjoy that because we all need a lift in our everyday lives ! Blessings

[@amymaryon]

I appreciate your kindness. Thank you

[@alicewhittington5506]

Everything that I have read and studied say that most plants need the equivalent of one inch of rain for per week and if you water them every day their Roots don't get as deep and a strong so it's best to water them once a week after 7:00 p.m. after the heat of the day so that it doesn't damage the leaves

[@nicolewatters4062]

I cleaned my strawberries with vinegar and water then stored them in ball jars in fridge. They last so much longer. ❤

[@melissahutton2354]

Hiya! Wanted to share a little something I learned recently about pickles! Once you eat the pickles, save the brine! You can boil it on the stove for 2 mins and reuse it by just adding fresh cucumbers! It’s best if it sits in the brine for at least two days in the fridge but it has saved me money, for sure! I love pickles and everyone has a cucumber that is just sitting in the fridge and staring at you. It’s a great way to use them up!

[@amymaryon]

I have seen that before...i just forget to save it ...thank you

[@mrsjeaniehirsch]

Good morning , you can freeze egg roll wrappers. just put a piece of waxed paper then the wrap, then waxed paper etc./ then put them in an air tight container/or zip lock (make sure sealed really well to prevent freezer burn or drying out... a Little bit of a pain, it's worth it though if your doing a large amount , i've done it and they have lasted me 5 to 6 months....

go to the service desk and ask them to get what ever you are looking for. It might be popular in the store , or every time the manager changes they change the orders.

Amy mushroom compost or cow manure ( in a bag, sold at Lowe’s) will really make your plants grow big.

[@susanwitte350]

You might want to get wheels to go under your large pots. It allows air circulation and it’s easy to move them into the shade.

[@graycee8326]

Hi Amy, just FYI, tomato plants AND cucumber plants are very heavy feeders so be sure to add some aged manure and rich organic compost -homemade is way better. Easy to do too for future plants, not these babies. Best soil for your vege garden. My mum has a worm farm in a big black pot and uses that to feed. She just puts her food scraps in and the worms turn it into the best compost ever. She has about 3 that are rotated as she fills one up and the worms do there thing, she adds scraps to the others.. Works perfectly. ALSO heat stress can shock plants a lot, I aid its recovery by adding a little calcium to its soil away from stem and water in.. make sure to water your pots morning and night during your hot period.. You don't want your pot to completely dry out and soil start to heat up. God bless Amy. Love you and family.. Followed for years.. You and Greg are doing such an incredible job and your children too.. 🥰 ✝👼

I'm so glad that you found the bacon I did warn you that it was on the costly side and we bought ours before the whole COVID and inflation so I can only imagine it is definitely a treat item but I don't think you will be disappointed me and my husband solely bought it on the fact that everybody raved about it and my husband loves bacon My husband's also very very cheap but he wanted to try it and we both sit there and said should we get one or two at this price because we were leaving to go back out of town and the first time we sit down and ate it we said oh my Lord we should have got 2 and then I had to do the research to figure out what made it so good to see if there was anything I could do to duplicate it and that's when I learned that they smoke it with corn husk and all the things so I hope you enjoy your treat❤❤❤

It was very good !!! Thanks for sharing

Don’t forget to fertilize your veggies in their pots!! Container plants can’t get nutrients from the ground. Fish emulsion once a week & a slow release fertilizer every 7-10 days!!

Thinking of your vegetable plants? Do you have a canopy you could set up over your plants? They will still get plenty of sunlight with it over them but will keep sun from burning them!

[@nicolewatters4062]

Your flowers are beautiful ❤

[@tamekadavis9051]

Good morning and happy Wednesday

[@susancraig-conger9464]

Morning sun is the best for your planter garden. Watering morning and evening will work best. Peppers take much longer to sprout but will do so, they should do good in your black pots that did have tomatoes. The tomatoes should now grow well. Taking off the leaves at the bottom will also do wonders. You don’t want them touching the dirt. I would consider planting a marigolds flower in each tomato pot as they will keep aphids and other bugs away. Their pungent smell is a dislike to bugs. Good luck in your growing vegetables. 😊🙏🏼

Amy just to let you know, you might want to put your plants in the grass area. If the patio gets as hot as it does you say it does. The patio might be baking them, or putting a water catcher under them.

[@dawnthompson5747]

I saw a video on Facebook where the lady took her strawberry caps that she cut off of her strawberries. Put them in a pot, covered them with water and put maybe a cup of sugar in on top of it brought it to a boil. Then she let it steep for a while till it kind of thickened up, once thickened she strained it through a mesh strainer and put the sauce in a quart jar and she said now you've got your strawberry sauce for pancakes or ice cream or whatever and you didn't waste any part of the strawberry. I thought that was pretty neat myself. I don't use as many as you do, but for somebody who uses as many strawberries as you do at one time, you could probably make a couple of quarts of strawberry syrup.

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Amy, you only bought 2 sour creams. The others were out of date. Loved shopping with you today. Love the Maryons. Let us know about bacon.

I consider myself a beginner gardener - especially since moving from CA to OH. I have come to enjoy and trust the information I get from Laura on Garden Answer. They fertilize their plants weekly. That's something new to me, but I'm going to try it this summer. I learned from her channel to use Biotone when I first plant to give the plants a better chance to survive. May be worth checking their videos out. They have a great archive of subjects. Blessings, Janell
