Your strawberry patch is so cute!! 🍓 next vlog can you please share what fertilizers your using for your outdoor garden?? I’m interested!

[@laurarice2693]

I’m a big Stephen King reader (read nearly all of his books), and I’m telling you, The Stand and Duma Key are his best! Would love to see you read those 💓

[@cozyplantlady11]

ahh thank you for the recommendations! I've never heard of duma key 👀 will check it out

[@lilymeowington9395]

I am too and i definitely agree!!! I LOVED the stand and I still think about Duma Key all the time! Such good books 🥰

[@Tammy-rq9mu]

Just letting you know, you should paint some small rocks red, ( nail polish, or some kind of marker) something so the birds will pick at the rocks and not come back for the real strawberries, just an option😊

[@cozyplantlady11]

I definitely need to do that! So many birds here haha

[@purlandknitvlog8571]

❤ a little bit of chilly knitting and watching your vlogs, is always the coziest thing I can do🙏

[@aspeng621]

Yes to summerween! I love the idea

Me too!! I think I'm going to do it 🎃

Thanks for reigniting my love of books. Have a super week. Here in Toronto we’re in for a heatwave (30’s) and I am excited to try out our new A/C unit 🎉😂

[@cozyplantlady11]

Ahh you’re so welcome haha! Enjoy the AC ❄️

[@eliasbusch9368]

Hi Fern, I got so happy when you revealed that you were getting yourself an iMac, especially because you have mentioned it over and over again how you would love to have one and now you finally do! Really excited for you and for all the content you’ll create on it! :) 😊

[@cozyplantlady11]

Ahh thank you so much!! 🥹 I’m so excited for it to arrive 🥰

[@robbinstephensyork8864]

In relation to those yummy Tacos , have you ever tried roasted carrots ( cut into disks or into wedges) on Tacos?.....They are amazing....roast the carrots ( or pan sautee) until they are tender crisp...but a little caramelized........I cut into disks for quesadillas....and I cut into long wedges for Tacos or Barritos.....it just does something to the flavor.....especially when combined with sautéed onion and bell pepper for fajitas.....😎.....✌️💜💋

[@MichelletheGardner]

Budget advice: Do you have a business account that is separate from your personal account? That would help you stay organized between personal and business transactions. If you 'miss' having a paycheck you could even pay yourself on a regular schedule from the business account. This way you could get a paycheck and budget your personal expenses like you used to before you were self employed.

[@cozyplantlady11]

this is such a good idea! thank you! I do have a separate business account - I think I'm going to start doing this.

[@dianesheehan8225]

I get summer books, I call them beach reads. I do love to read winter/snow books in winter.

[@lindaedwards4632]

Beautiful place to go for a walk. We keep track of our business expenses using an Excel spreadsheet. We always update at the end of each month so the work doesn’t pile up 👍🇨🇦

[@BwHmstd]

I just finished reading What Lies in the Woods. I thought it was a good read 😊 I also love thrillers/mysteries and horror. My favorite Stephen King novel is definitely either The Shining or Pet Semetery, highly recommend them both!

[@KKemmm]

Cutie strawberry patch! Love your channels, Fern ❤🍓

Your outdoor garden looks amazing. Love the strawberry patch!!!!🍓So glad somebody else has the green gardening kneeling mat, besides me 😃. Omg!!! Had a look at the potato salad recipe ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Honestly, you make the most amazing salads. YUM!!!!! Stephen King is a fantastic writer. 'Misery', will be great to read! His books are better than the movies. The book 'Babel'. There was a movie by the same name. It was so good and thought provoking!!! Olive & Cadence 🤗❤

[@maryelizabeth2096]

Hi Fern! I wish i had cut the first set of blooms off of my strawberries like you did. I failed to do this and my first batch of strawberries came out deformed and inedible. I will remember this tip for next year!

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Sometimes it’s fun to watch these and your main channel not in chronological order. It’s like getting to see the origin story of some things, like the label maker 😆

[@nicolepro927]

For romance I HIGHLY recommend Nora Goes Off Script!!! I’m not usually a romance girly but this was so good I read it in 3 sittings🤓 I definitely added Our Wives Under The Sea to my Libby hold list!

[@chihuahuamartin24]

Just a thought! Maybe find a way to print the cover you’re loving and just put it on the hardcover

[@D0J0Master]

Strawberry patch is very cute too

[@ogrebeccag2704]

"Cry my eyes out tax time" is so relatable lol

[@Dani_ela_3]

I love your vlogs and reading updates!, could you please talk about your finances organizing?, overall savings. I struggle a little with that but I wanna start saving.

[@doomsdaykingdom86]

I love the longer vlogs! The longer the better to hold me over until the next one. I do have to admit I liked the format of the older vlogs more. You use to show us a lot more of the outside by vlogging a drive or camping. I feel like now it's very, very book heavy. I don't like reading (university took it out of me), but I try to listen to your book talk too cuz I know you love it. I actually have gone back at least twice and watched all your old vlogs. I am still grateful for all the new ones as well. I hope you don't take this comment as a hate comment. I love this channel regardless. 🪴

[@cozyplantlady11]

Awe I definitely don't take this as hate! Thank you so much for watching, even when we don't share all the same interests. I'm definitely in my book obsessed era, but hopefully more outdoor adventure-y content to come :) are there any other things you enjoy seeing in vlogs? food, gardening, generally getting out of the house/errands etc? always curious to hear what people like to watch and I'll try to include more of it! x

[@doomsdaykingdom86]

@@cozyplantlady11 I have always liked you talking about making food and grocery hauls. I am not vegan, but I always thought that was interesting.

Misery is fantastic! There was a movie made too, excellent as well. Enjoy!

Love me some Stephen King. His short stories are fantastic. I just picked up Bride by Ali Hazelwood. And totally unrelated, I made my first moss pole! Thank you for the tips from your other channel. I hope my Giganticus appreciates it. I am 60 but I can do new things😊.

Thank you so much 🥺🫶

[@thegoddessandthegeekhomest2880]

Omgosh I legit just bought that label maker at the beginning of may! 😂 Eek taxes!! 😮 the bane of my existence!! Do you know how to use Excel? Do you have excel? I make sheets on there for my clients to fill out and bring in or sometimes we fill them out together. Or…you could make a bullet journal. Write down expenses as they come in. Make a layout each week or month with each category (supplies, utilities, etc) and just fill in each time you buy something. Where do you store all of your bedding? I love good bedding and I’m struggling finding room for 109 blankets lol 😂 I so enjoy these sit down vlogs with you! So cozy and I feel like we are besties!! Thanks again as always ❤ Tamara

[@cozyplantlady11]

Ahh thank you Tamara 🫶 I was thinking of you as I was doing my tax stuff hahah. I don't really know how to use excel. I was using a google sheets template which I think is pretty similar. I definitely need to start keeping up with entering everything as it comes in, it just gets too confusing otherwise 😩 We have a tiny linen closet which stores our bedding. It's honestly a disaster, I need to organize it lol. It doesn't hold much, so we have stuff we don't use often stored in the basement. Thank youuuu, I always love reading your comments 🫶🥰

[@HappinessIsKontagious]

That expression @19:08-19:10 🤣🤣🤣I cannot deal with books that I struggle to read and seriously would've DNF'd it in 1/4th of that time! Funny story is SOOOO GOOD on Audio! Also Abby Jimenez books are AMAZING!!! The trail you and Olive were on looks and sounds like heaven on earth!!! WOW!!!

[@cozyplantlady11]

Omg I knowww 😩 it was so hard to push through and then I didn’t even have much to say to discuss with my boyfriend about it after anyways lol 🤣 And ahhh I’m excited to read Funny Story! That’s awesome to hear. Abby Jimenez has definitely full won me over 🥺🥰 I’m actually heading to that trail right now, it’s sooo stunning and such a short drive from our house. We feel really lucky to have beautiful places to walk around here! 🌿 Thank you so much for watching x

[@Innokha]

I love Stephen King so much, I've read a lot of his books. My top favs that I recommend are Pet Sematary, Bag of Bones, and The Outsider. His writing and description is always so good that tbh any of his books are enjoyable for the prose itself.

[@Innokha]

Cujo, IT, and 11/22/63 are all also up there 😅
