Hey GSL Peeps! 🌟 Have you been keeping up with the latest trends in plant-based nutrition and gardening? It’s all about sustainability and making eco-friendly choices in both our diets and gardens. 🌿

The big focus right now is on reducing our environmental footprint by growing our own food and choosing plant-based options that are better for our health and the planet. People are really getting into the idea of "garden-to-table" eating, where you grow fresh produce in your backyard or even on a small balcony and use it to create delicious, nutrient-packed meals. 🍅🥬

When it comes to plant-based eating, the trend is shifting towards whole, unprocessed foods. Think colorful…

Good Morning Green Sprouts!!

It's already the second week of July; wow, this season is flying by! I'm really starting to get a lot of pest pressure this year, how about you?

The aphids are attacking one of my tomato plants, so I'm going to let that plant take one for the team and focus on keeping them away from the rest of my plants; this is an example of a trap crop. I also use neem oil and spray my plants about once every 7-14 days, depending on the pest…

Good morning, Green Sprouts!

Happy Fourth of July! I hope you are having a safe and exciting Independence Day. I just wanted to reach out and give you a few tips for July!

1. Weed Management: Stay on top of those weeds! They steal nutrients and water from your crops. Pull them out regularly to keep your plants happy and healthy.

2. Pest Control: Keep an eye out for pests like aphids, beetles, and caterpillars. There are great organic options for dealing with them, such as neem oil, insecticidal soap, or just hand-picking them off your plants.
