Ate my first purple string bean off the vine today. I was shocked it was green on the inside. I don't know what I was expecting but it taste like a regular string bean😂. No, it's not GMO. ⠀ #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #GardeningWithLola #Blackgirlsgarden #blackgirlswhogarden https://www.instagram.com/p/CC0taXmDpXL/?igshid=7gtprwk9gyhr

On Faith Fridays we Vision Cast! ⠀ I'm going to say🗣 it until I see👀 it. My heart is full of ALL the things God has spoken and ALL the things I envision for the Kingdom, my family, the community. ⠀ I see land in my future. With all the bees🐝 and butterflies🦋 that will help pollinate my garden. Hand pollination is too much🙄. ⠀ I know you can't tell everyone all of your dreams. But you can declare the end from the beginning. What's 1 thing you declaring? ⠀ #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #CraftingWithLola #GardeningWithLola #CanningWithLola #FutureHomesteader #Therapy #CraftLife #CustomCrafts #Peace #dreams #Vision #Faith #DIYProjects #DIY #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #BlackGirsRock #IGGarden #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden #GardenersOfInstagram ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5lEdRB_Jy/?igshid=ju7mms4zpidw

Organized my seed collection today✅ ⠀ Notice anything missing? Every gardener experiences a problem child plant. Mine is 🍅. Every year I say I'm not growing them and I try again🤷🏾‍♀️. ⠀ I've broken my own rule of gardening 101: grow the foods you like to eat. I don't even like tomatoes🤦🏾‍♀️ unless it's in my pasta. #NoTomatoGrow2021 #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #GardeningWithLola #CanningWithLola #FutureHomesteader #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDyo4DphbG6/?igshid=dwbs20lvb083

Onion Dehydration Time ⠀ I had a bag of onions that I needed to use quickly. Here's an easy way to make your own onion powder. I sliced up 4 trays worth and put them in the dehydrator @ 140 degree. Yes, skin and all! Once they have dried, I'll pulverize them down to a powder. Walllllahh😘😋. ⠀ #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #CraftingWithLola #GardeningWithLola #SelfSufficientLife #FutureHomesteader #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #BlackGirsRock #IGGarden #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden #GardenersOfInstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CDG1SVBBVU-/?igshid=118oyxh1vc179

Some garden bed clean up this morning. Pulled all the corn, squash and beans. Removed the corn stalks and dead leaves. We'll be phasing in the fall garden in August.

We Have Bundles🌿🌿🌿 ⠀ Not hair bundles but herb bundles. Washed and hung my bundles out to sun dry. It's too hot to run the dehydrator indoors. I'll let the sun work. ⠀ We have orange mint, chocolate mint, sweet mint, stevia and pineapple sage. ⠀ #TheLolitaPerry #GardeningWithLola #GrowYourOwn #HerbGarden https://www.instagram.com/p/CClyU6pBb2w/?igshid=1tuegki34buk2

God is still the answer. As the old saints used to say "He still makes house calls". In the midst of heartache and despair He will answer. He will send peace. He will make a way. He will restore. Don't stop praying! Don't stop believing! Don't stop pressing! ⠀ 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #CraftingWithLola #GardeningWithLola #CanningWithLola #FutureHomesteader #Therapy #CraftLife #CustomCrafts #Peace #DIYProjects #DIY #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #BlackGirsRock #IGGarden #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden #GardenersOfInstagram ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CBaq-9SDPv6/?igshid=1d292q3prdzd4

This is a root bound flower. It's roots were determined to grow in a cramped space. Who knew all of that was going on in that container. I was shocked when I pulled it out. In spite of the barrier it steadily grew so that it's flowers could bloom. ⠀ Some plants would die with being this root bound. While some flimsy root bound plants will thrive once they are repotted. ⠀ We are just like this flower. In spiteful of barriers we are determined to thrive. People would be shook if they saw how much inner turmoil you have to fight through to shine. Some of us are dying because we can't grow but a repotting/shift/change could be the very thing that saves your life. ⠀ God is the Master Gardener. Ask. Seek. Knock. He'll answer. 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #GardeningWithLola #CanningWithLola #homesteadlife #GrowYourOwn #BlackGirsRock #Blackgirlsgarden #blackgirlswhogarden #GodGirl https://www.instagram.com/p/CBVmeC2Hx-x/?igshid=94v4euuxu86q

I started with a list of all the hats I wear (wife, mother etc). It became exhausting because it narrated the things I do. ⠀ Then I took a pivot and decided to focus on the things I love because it highlights things that make me feel good, strengthened, special and at peace. ⠀ God, My Beloved, children, grandchildren, parents, friendships, plants and vegetables, homemade canned jams, DIY projects, beach, tent camping, praying hands and mountain views. ⠀ I smiled while making this list being surrounded by strength and love. ⠀ What things make you feel loved and strong? Focus on them. Tends to make the doing more purposeful. ⠀ 🌱 🌱 #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #CraftingWithLola #GardeningWithLola #CanningWithLola #FutureHomesteader #Therapy #CraftLife #CustomCrafts #Peace #DIYProjects #DIY #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #BlackGirsRock #IGGarden #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden #GardenersOfInstagram ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CBLGmfNn5F_/?igshid=1hja7wxel393d
