TEACHING MY KIDS HOW TO GROW FOOD ☀️ MOM OF 8 KIDS 🌱 DIY HERBS & VEGETABLES CONTAINER GARDEN 🥬 🍅

IT'S HERE!!! Sunny, warm, bright days for planting and growing your own food at home!! I'm starting a container garden (so weeding is a lot less work!) with really cheap buckets I got for free. Just ask at the bakery section of your local grocery store for some free buckets! Your plants will need some drainage as to prevent "root rot" so I drilled holes in the bottom of the buckets with a drill I had at home. Next, I let the kids dig in the dirt! It was Eugenius' (2 years old) first time getting to play in the soil. They all really loved having a hand in our family garden! Even the older boys Julius, Aryan, and Adonis were having fun creating their own sections in our backyard garden with their own plants and seeds! Don't forget to check your local library for a free seed library. If they don't have it, seeds are really cheap at dollar tree. This is a thrifty way to try something new and keep yourself busy while saving money on fruits and vegetables and even herbs!

• Backyard Cleanup, Life...
Recently my husband of 20 years and biological father of our 8 children suddenly passed away (on July 16, 2023). Adjusting to the sudden trauma and shock has been the hardest thing we have had to go through in our entire lives! Our 8 children spent their whole lives having their father by their side at home, guiding them. Now this grave loss has caused a ripple affect not only in our daily lives but emotionally, as well as a great looming uncertainty.
THANK YOU to all the kind people who have encouraged and supported us throughout this journey. It has made a monumental positive impact on our lives and I thank you so very much!!

Rosalie, Love how adventurous you're becoming & trying new things. Well done, you! ❤

Awww, thank you. I tried this a few years ago by myself and some help from my husband, but only had partial success. We're giving it another go now, and hopefully with everyone's help it will work. I appreciate your encouragement and as always it is nice to hear from you. Take care!

Lovely video Rosalie! It's great the kids are learning to grow their own food! Also, how awesome you have an aloe vera plant! Aloe IS such a great healing agent for inflammation. Have a blessed week! :)

I do love watching your family and I know you are trying your best and you seem like a very loving mom and i lost my kids dad a few years ago and understand some of what you guys are going through but also a teacher and went to school for that and I really think you have to get on top of empress's behavior it seems like she never listens also both girls need to learn to share and take turns with the 2 boys that are alittle older watching you guys open boxes from fans the girls take evwrything and don't let the boys even touch the stuff and again I do love watching your family this is not supposed to be hate just feed back

Thank you, I have started to set stricter perimeters for Empress. She gets excited and forgets how to behave. Thank you for sharing and for reaching out to me. Take care!

I started watching this video the other day, but just finished watching it now. I loved seeing the kids do the planting. I hope everything grows.

Thanks Lynne! I think we have planted enough seeds that even if some doesn't grow, we will still have a lot of others that do grow.

I commend Deity on his patience with the little ones. I think most boys would have just grabbed the shovel away from Empress…especially after you asked him to finish filling the bucket. Teaching them how to grow a garden is a great family activity! They’ll have so much fun harvesting at the end.

Thank you for the compliment Sharon, I told Deity. Yes, it worked out really well except for the seeds getting mixed up. ☺️ Thanks for sharing and take care!

Hi Rosalie, what is the youngest childs name. I only ever hear you call him little guy. Or is that his name?

@Momof8kids 4 ай бұрын

That is one of his nick names (baby is another one of his nick names). His real name is Eugenius after his father Eugene.

Hi, i just came across yr channel and i find it so interesting. Soo sorry for your loss. If you dont mind, i have a couple questions. You said you don't pay for steaming or cable. Where do you purchase yr WIFI and house phone. Im always looking to economise. I noticed you had two Different minivan's, a Toyota and a Honda. Do you still have both? Do you need both because you have kids driving? Which one do you prefer? Thanks Shannon

@Momof8kids 3 ай бұрын

Thank you Shannon, I have internet through Cogeco and I only use a cell phone as my home phone, so no landline phone. I we didn't have 2 vans at the same time, my husband wanted a brand-new van for practical reasons, so he traded the Toyota in for the new Honda. The reason he switched to Honda was because Toyota changed their van at the time, and he wanted a 6 cylinder engine so he chose Honda. I am glad you found me, which videos are your favourite??

@ontariocanada 3 ай бұрын

Hello again. Thanks for getting back to me. I was curious about the Van's because I'm interested in getting a new one and I liked the look of the Toyota. I'm finding all yr vlogs interesting. The fact it's so real and in the moment is nice. So many people are fake. My Sincere condolences to you and your family. I know it's been almost a year. It must be difficult without the support of friends or family. I hope you and yr family are doing well at this hard time. I wish you the best and much happiness. Shannon

@Momof8kids 3 ай бұрын

@@ontariocanada sorry about the delay in responding to you, nothing wrong with your questions, Shannon. I am so glad to hear from you! If you are not sure about Honda or Toyota we have had good experiences with both. If you like the look of Toyota then go with that one. They are both good. I suppose you could also go to both dealerships and take whichever gives you the best deal. Hope to have helped and please don’t hesitate to reach out again. Take care!

@Momof8kids oh, thank you.🥰 I feel people need to be kinder to one another these days. I was hoping to find the safest vehicle for the fact I drive my granddaughter around and want to know she's safe. Yr husband gave me the impression that it would be a big consideration when buying a car. I live in St.Catharines. All the best 😊

Deity has such great patience with his younger siblings. He has a heart of gold. The tree house moving like that with the swing scared me 😳 It may need to be re-enforced 🤷‍♀️ Hope you have great success with the garden. One thing I learned is to use the plant dishes under them and allow them to self water by keeping water in that part. That way you don’t have to worry about over watering or root rot. Have a beautiful weekend, Rosalie and family. 😊

@Momof8kids 4 ай бұрын

Thank you Rina, for the advice! I am definitely a novice when it comes to gardening. You are right about the swing set, it scared me too, so I inspected it and there were some screws loose. It is tightened now, but Victory may also be getting too big for it. Take care!
